The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"If it were just that, the local army could handle it, right? Since Minister Ernest summoned me here, it can't be simply about the rebellion. Is it related to the night raid?"

　Minister Honest clapped his hands and said excitedly, "As expected of General Esdeath, the Empire's only and strongest general, that's why. I once planted a pawn within the Anning Road, and he has been working according to my plan to become the leader and thus control the entire Anning Road. But according to the latest secret report, he is too late to compete for the position of leader. Anning Road is about to launch an armed uprising. Moreover, it is said that the leader of Anning Road has contacted the revolutionary army. He is worried that he has been listed as an assassination target, so he wants to return to the capital, but I refused."

　"If a soldier under my command had revealed his whereabouts without authorization, I would have executed him long ago."

　Minister Ernest nodded dramatically. "That's exactly what I mean. That's why I want my son to join the Hunters and work together to eliminate the Night Raids."

　"Thank you for Minister Ernest's kindness. The Hunters do not need to increase their numbers. As for what you mentioned, I have already spoken to the Emperor about the Night Raid. We must eliminate it."

　"Oh dear, then we'll have to trouble General Esdeath. Come, let's toast to victory!"

　While Minister Honest was having dinner with General Esdeath, in a secluded place around the capital, a silver-haired, green-eyed man looked at the bizarre experimental subject inside the fence and revealed a sinister smile.

　"Open the door! Open the door quickly! The hunters are investigating a case."

　"Will, you're so long-winded." Kurohime looked at Will, who was urging the people inside to open the door, with disdain. She turned around and drew her Imperial Arms, the Eighth Chamber of the Dead. In an instant, the sturdy door was chopped into pieces. Although Will felt it was a bit inappropriate, the case was important. He kicked the door open and shouted, "Hunter, we have a very urgent case to investigate. Stay there and don't move."

　"Will, he's dead."

　"Tsk, as expected, I was still a step too late."

　Inside the Hunter's office, Will stopped reporting, took a deep breath, and said, "That's the whole story. I'm very sorry, General Esdeath, the trail ends here. We haven't found any clues about the night raid. Please punish me."

　To Will's surprise, Esdeath didn't say anything. "Alright, Will, losing the clues to the night raid does warrant punishment, but there's something more important now. According to the investigation, a new type of dangerous species has appeared around the capital. These dangerous species initially only appeared in the dense forests and mines, but just yesterday, they broke into villagers' homes, attacked and ate them. Moreover, the report says that these creatures have human forms, but their intelligence is only at the level of a seven or eight-year-old child."

　Upon hearing this, Tatsumi immediately stood up. "Since they have threatened the safety of the villagers, we must punish these vile and dangerous species."

　“That’s right, Tatsumi. If you perform well this time, you can become a full member of the Hunters. Then we’ll have our first mission: a surprise night raid. Alright, Tatsumi and Will will be in a group, Kurome and Polus will be in a group, and Ran will have the Imperial Arms Thousand Miles Flying Mostima. Begin the investigation immediately.”

　"Yes!"

　On the way to find the Dangerous Beasts, Will noticed that Tatsumi looked disappointed and assumed that he was annoyed because he hadn't obtained the Teigu. However, Tatsumi was thinking about something else, namely the surprise night raid that Esdeath had mentioned.

　Could it be that Esdeath has pinpointed the location of the night raid? But Tatsumi has been with Esdeath all this time.

　If they were together, Tatsumi should have known about this information as well. Or perhaps his own affairs were exposed, and Esdeath was just bluffing him.

　No, no, no, it's probably none of those. Esdeath met with Minister Ernest last night, and this information may have come from Minister Ernest's side. Thinking of this, Tatsumi was eager to leave Will's side, but Will possesses the Shura Incarnation Noble Chariot. Under these circumstances, the probability of Tatsumi escaping unharmed is only one in ten thousand.

　Just as Tatsumi was pondering, a roar rang out. The two looked towards the source of the sound and saw three strangely shaped, dangerous creatures about to attack a passing caravan.

　"A dangerous species has appeared, Will, let's go."

　"Oh!" Will didn't react for a moment, but his body still moved along with Tatsumi's instinctively.

　Tatsumi drew his sword and slashed it hard at the head of the Dangerous Beast. Will transformed his Teigu Shura into the Noble Chariot and planted it in the ground, shouting, "Noble Chariot!" As the long sword turned into water ripples, Will's left eye immediately turned into a blue cross-shaped pupil. At this moment, Will was already exuding the aura of a Dangerous Beast, and he no longer looked human. In a ripple of water, dark blue armor appeared on Will's body.

　"Bang! Bang!" Will jumped up and kicked the dangerous creature next to him away, then turned to the people in the carriage and said, "Get out of here quickly, we will take care of your safety."

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Besides Goubuli steamed buns, Tianjin also has Maobuwen dumplings. Asteroid transparency disorder causes the eyes to appear as if a galaxy is flowing within them with each blink. This is mainly caused by the accumulation and crystallization of calcium or lipids in the vitreous humor. These crystals resemble asteroids during eye movement, hence the name. It usually affects one side only and generally does not affect vision.

　Volume 1: Chapter 318 - Transfer of Spatial Transfer

　"Alright." Urged by Will, the carriage quickly left. Tatsumi stabbed a Dangerous Species in the chest with his sword. Will jumped up again and smashed the Dangerous Species' head with two punches.

　Will flicked the crumbs off his hands. "Compared to ordinary Dangerous Species, it looks more like something Dr. Fashion created in his lab. What do you think, Tatsumi?"

　Tatsumi had just tried to take this opportunity to escape, but Will was so quick that he didn't give him a chance. He could only give a vague answer: "Yeah, it doesn't seem like a common dangerous species." Just as Will was about to say something, there was a rustling sound coming from the bushes next to him. Will hurriedly shouted alertly, "Who's there?"

　Tatsumi and Will exchanged a glance and tiptoed toward the bushes. Just as Will was about to part the bushes, a childish "da~ oh~" sound rang out, and a little girl with a full head of black hair appeared in front of them.

　"Hikaru, what are you doing here? Wait, what are you holding in your hand, a Teigu?"

　The young girl obediently shook her head. "Teigu? Hikaru doesn't know. This is for eating."

　Will, hidden beneath his armor, curled his lip. What kind of good guy uses a strange sword taller than him to eat? Just as Will was about to say something more, Lan jumped out from behind the bushes. "Wait for me! Hey, isn't this Tatsumi? And who is this?"

　Will had no choice but to remove his Shura incarnation noble chariot attire. "Will, this is my Imperial Arm. By the way, there are some terrifying dangerous species around here. What are you two doing here?"

　"A terrifyingly dangerous species, I don't know either. Hikaru found some fun things and then chased them here. There should have been three of them running over here just now."

　Will eliminated two, and Tatsumi eliminated one, making it three in total. Could it be that the little girl was chasing after those dangerous species, just for fun?

　"The toy is gone, Lan, Lan, over there."

　Not far away, three more Dangerous Beasts ran arrogantly toward the little girl and Lan Mei. Just as Will was about to use his Imperial Arms again, "Heave-ho!" With a childish shout, the little girl jumped up and slashed at the Dangerous Beasts.

　"Bang!" The Berserker slammed into the ground, crushing the Dangerous Species into a pulp with the giant teeth on its blade. "Ugh~" Seeing that there was only the little girl, the Dangerous Species next to her pounced on her. The little girl held the Berserker slam horizontally, laughing as she swung it around, cutting the Dangerous Species in half.

　"That wasn't an illusion, was it, Tatsumi?"

　Seeing that the dangerous creatures had stopped moving, the little girl kicked them in disappointment and then skipped back to Lanmei's side. The Berserker Giant had left a clear mark behind the little girl. After handing the Berserker Giant over to Lanmei, the little girl ran off on her own.

　A little while later, Tatsumi and the others saw the little girl running happily out of the forest, followed by seven or eight other similar Dangerous Species. Then, "Boom!" The Berserker Giant, carrying air with it, embedded the Dangerous Species directly into the ground.

　The woman kicked the dangerous creature again in disgust. She clearly remembered that the little thing could regenerate, so why couldn't these guys?

　Tatsumi swallowed hard and said, "This... it can't be a hallucination, right?"

　Night fell quickly, and the little girl was having an eating contest with Kurohime. Polus, watching this harmonious scene, couldn't help but think of his own daughter, so he sped up his cooking. Since there was no seafood here, Will's culinary skills couldn't be fully displayed.

　After the meal, Esdeath was about to have a private chat with Tatsumi when she sensed an uninvited guest nearby. Esdeath's icy blue eyes immediately glared at a certain spot in the darkness. "I didn't expect there to actually be an arrogant guy coming to my door. You hiding over there, I've found you. Come out."

　Upon hearing Esdeath's words, Kurome, Will, and Borus immediately looked into the darkness. Kurome and Will had already placed their hands on their Imperial Arms, and Esdeath drew her sword. "I'm in a good mood right now. If you're not planning to come out, I can launch an attack now."

　"Oh dear, I thought I hid well enough, but I didn't expect you to find me. You truly deserve to be called the strongest person in the empire. You're really capable. But I didn't expect to meet you here. I guess tonight's game will have to end here."

　"It seems you know why dangerous species appear so frequently. If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might consider not making you suffer so much when I torture you."

　The newcomer concealed his face with his coat, so Esdeath couldn't identify him. The others awaited Esdeath's orders, except for the young girl and Arashi, who were still eating. The man said contemptuously, "Unfortunately, I prefer to interrogate others rather than be interrogated. Since the game is about to end, let me show you this biggest toy."

　The man took out a compass-like object and shouted, "Teigu Shangri-La, activate!"

　A huge purple disc immediately covered everyone. Will asked nervously, "What? What did you activate?"

　Kurome had already drawn her Imperial Arms, Corpse of the Dead, and rushed towards the person, but before she arrived, the purple disc disappeared, and everyone vanished from their spot.

　Watching the crowd disappear, the man said with a hint of loneliness, "So, what should we play next?"

　"Smacking sounds~" The chewing sounds were so jarring in this open space. Sheila looked incredulously at the source of the sound. The little girl and Lanmei were still eating there. He was wondering why the little girl was still there. Had he just forgotten about these two people, or was it just a hallucination?

　"Hmph, such a trivial trick. Shangri-La, activate!"

　The purple light appeared again beneath the little girl's feet. This time, Sheila only sent the little girl away. Looking at the pure and beautiful Lan Mei in front of her, who was as pure and beautiful as a plum blossom under the snow, and whose figure and appearance were almost at the peak of human appearance, Sheila could no longer suppress the dirty desires in her heart. However, just as Sheila was about to take action, the little girl appeared here again.

　OVO!

　Seeing the little girl's blank expression, Sheila angrily activated Shangri-La again. This time, Sheila set the teleportation location to the far north, the furthest place. He didn't believe the little girl would be able to reappear in the same spot after this teleportation, but he had just turned around.

　=v =! "Fun!"

　The little girl is back!

　"You little rascal!" Enraged, Sheila immediately jumped up and kicked the little girl. As the son of Minister Ernest, Sheila had always aimed to surpass his father. While traveling around the world, he learned from the martial arts of various countries and honed his skills. He was also skilled in the windmill kick and once single-handedly defeated eight disciples of the Royal Fist Temple. Just as Sheila was imagining himself killing this little girl with one move, the surrounding sky suddenly became as bright as day.

　"Awooo! Woo~" The World Lord let out a deep and long roar. Imagine a monster with a shoulder height of seventeen meters, equivalent to a six-story building, standing in front of you. Its nearly forty-meter-long dragon wings spread out, and blackish-purple scales began to scatter around it. Sheila kicked the World Lord's hard scales. The rough scales brought great resistance, and then Sheila's ankle bone broke.

　"Ah, you bastard." Sheila plummeted straight to the ground. He was about to activate the Imperial Arms Shangri-La to escape, but the wing claws of the Lord of the Worlds had already struck down.

　"Boom!" Sheila felt the ground shake. Just as she desperately tried to escape, she lost her footing and knelt on the ground. At the same time, her arms lost their strength. Sheila was puzzled by this situation when she suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. Only then did she notice that the ground was covered with blackish-purple powder. At the same time, her consciousness became increasingly blurred. Sheila did not expect that the opponent was so large and would use poison.

　Just as he was desperately activating the Imperial Arm Shangri-La, the Lord of the Worlds spewed out a beam of azure plasma.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes, the ossicle closest to the cochlea. It's named for its resemblance to a stirrup and is only two or three millimeters in size. There's a type of fish with specialized long fin rays on its pelvic and caudal fins, allowing it to rest stably on the seabed, hence its name "tripod fish." Its full name is the short-headed deep-sea dogfish, and it's only about 30 centimeters long, but its longest fin rays can reach one meter. Furthermore, it's hermaphroditic.

　PS3: Have a wonderful day, everyone!

　Volume 1: Chapter 319 - Will, who wants a happy ending

　Bright sunshine, swaying coconut trees, and a beautiful sea—looking at the scenery before her, Esdeath adjusted her military cap. The salty sea breeze, the warmth of the sun on her skin, and the slight sinking sensation of her feet into the sand were enough to prove that this was reality, not an illusion.

　Esdeath pondered quietly. This outcome must have been caused by the assassin's methods. Moreover, judging from the words he shouted, he must have activated some kind of Imperial Arm. Among the forty-eight super weapons created in the early days of the Empire and known as Imperial Arms, it is said that there was a super Imperial Arm created using the secret techniques of a destroyed country. It could even manipulate space. This outcome was not surprising.

　Furthermore, if that's the case, the Imperial Arm called Shangri-La that man used is probably among the top five in terms of overall power among all Imperial Arms. Who exactly is that guy, why did he teleport himself to this place, and what exactly is the "big toy" he mentioned?

　Esdeath quickly grasped the current situation, and to make the right judgment, the most important thing was to understand the surrounding situation. Esdeath placed her hand on the ground, and the Imperial Arm Demonic Manifestation Demonic Essence was immediately activated. The Imperial Arm, forged from the blood of a super dangerous species that lived in the far north in legend, could freely control ice, and its speed and power were astonishing. Esdeath created a huge ice pillar and sent herself into the air.

　As far as the eye could see, there was only the sea, meaning she was on an isolated island surrounded by the ocean. Esdeath suddenly thought that spending a vacation or living here with Tatsumi for a while wouldn't be such a bad choice, but since her beloved Tatsumi wasn't by her side and she didn't like a stable life, Esdeath's first priority was to leave this place as soon as possible, even though it was a bit of a regret.

　"Roar~" Just as Esdeath was about to lower the ice pillar to investigate the surrounding environment, the seawater suddenly surged, and a huge fog appeared on the surface of the sea. Esdeath squinted and saw a huge humanoid Hazard rising from the seawater. However, this Hazard clearly looked artificial. There were straps on all the joints of its body and its head, and there were also traces of dissection on other parts of its body. There were also traces of mechanical modification on its right arm. Esdeath, who was good at interrogation, was very familiar with these traces.

　The giant humanoid Dangerous Species looked around blankly, then, noticing Esdeath, roared and charged at her with a punch.

　"Hmph, so this is the big toy that guy was talking about? It's just a bit boring."

　Esdeath snapped her fingers, and hundreds of sharp ice shards immediately appeared around her body. "Something like you should be impaled to death, White Spike Ice Shatter!" Instantly, hundreds of ice shards were launched at once, knocking the giant humanoid Dangerous Species to the ground.

　"That's about it. Hmm, it's surprisingly interesting that he can still stand up."

　The giant humanoid Hazard shakily rose from the ground. "Ground Blast, cough cough, Hailstorm Leap Strike!" Esdeath leaped above the giant humanoid Hazard, and a huge ice meteorite crashed straight down on it. However, the meteorite did not completely knock down the Hazard. Esdeath kicked the ice meteorite, and this blow completely crushed the Hazard's bones. With a series of crisp sounds of bones shattering, the Hazard collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.

　After waiting for a while and seeing no more Dangerous Species appear nearby, Esdeath landed on the ground and began to examine the surrounding environment. Judging from the current situation, Esdeath felt that this place was more like a hiding place for a new type of Dangerous Species. Moreover, based on the speed of the sun's movement and the direction of the sea current, Esdeath judged that this was an uninhabited island located in the far southeast of the Empire. Furthermore, the other party had separated everyone during the relocation, since Esdeath had not found any familiar faces on the island.

　Although the distance was quite far, a Teigu is a Teigu; if it could teleport her here, it must have a way to teleport her back. As Esdeath expected, she quickly found something that looked like a marker in a secluded spot on the beach. Esdeath tried placing her hand on the marker, and unsurprisingly, something resembling an exit appeared on the spot. Esdeath sneered, turned around, and walked inside.

　"Sure enough, we're back in the same place. Strange, all the food left behind has been eaten. Assassins wouldn't do something so tasteless. And the utensils aren't messed up. It's not a wild animal. What happened here?"

　Esdeath carefully observed her surroundings and tried to find clues, then she suddenly stepped on something and looked down.

　It was a severed hand and broken props. The props looked somewhat like a music box, and Esdeath recognized it at first glance as the item the assassin had sent them through.

　The Imperial Arms named Shangri-La was sent away.

　"If I remember correctly, the name that person called was Shangri-La, but why is the Teigu Shangri-La here, and why is there a severed hand? The cut doesn't look like it was caused by a cold weapon; it looks more like it was burned. Does that mean that after we were teleported away, we fought with other people? But the ground..."

　Contrary to Esdeath's expectations, there were no signs of a fight on the ground, only traces of wild animals and burn marks. Esdeath suddenly realized something; the burn marks here were exactly the same as those in the plague-stricken area on the west side of the capital. So it really was the work of the Night Raiders.

　The Imperial Arms Shangri-La had been damaged, and even if Esdeath wanted to find her Jaeger subordinates, it would be difficult to do so. She was increasingly convinced that Night Raid was responsible, and remembering what Minister Honest had told her about the Tranquil Road a few days ago, Esdeath decided to trust her Jaegers and immediately returned to the Imperial Capital.

　After leaving a message in the capital, Esdeath asked Ernest for the address of Anning Road and immediately went to the city where Anning Road was located. Ernest generously lent Esdeath his four demon kings, the Rakshasa, to use as he pleased.

　As Esdeath had predicted, some of the followers of Anning Path were forging weapons and recruiting talent. Although they were doing so quietly, Esdeath's appearance was gradually breaking down their psychological defenses. At the same time, the Four Demon Rakshasa were patrolling the city, searching for Night Raid and those who were trying to pass information to Night Raid.

　As for the rest of the people who were transferred, Kurohime and Will were moved to a mountain range. In order to leave this place, Will killed a flying-type dangerous species, while Kurohime used the Imperial Arms Corps of the Dead to transform the flying-type dangerous species and feed it to a puppet before sending the two back to the Imperial Capital.

　Back in the capital, Kurohime didn't say a word and hurriedly hid in her room. Will said anxiously, "Hey, I'm telling you, are you alright, Kurohime? You're really pushing yourself. You shouldn't participate in the battle against Night Raid."

　"No, it's okay. I can still fight. I don't want to be punished."

　"What are you talking about? I'll go find Commander Esdeath right away and ask her to clear you of the mission. I'll do my best to complete yours." Just as Will was about to say something more, Kurohime walked out of the room through gritted teeth. She forced a smile and tried to say that she was alright, but she lost her balance and fell into Will's arms, coughing incessantly, with blood slowly seeping from the corner of her mouth.

　"Hey, look at your body." Will remembered what Lan had said before: that Black Eyes' lifespan was already short due to the drugs and experiments he had been taking.

　"Don't worry, Will, thank you for taking care of me all this time. It's just that I've been feeling unwell lately, maybe I'm not taking enough medication."

　"If you don't have enough medicine, then don't take it. You're strong enough already, right? As long as I finish your share, that's enough. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I'll beat them to a pulp. As long as I'm strong enough, no one will dare to criticize me."

　PS: First update!

　PS2: The portrait of Du Fu in textbooks was actually painted by the artist Jiang Zhaohe based on his own appearance. No one knows what Du Fu actually looked like. Lazy phone stands were once all the rage. While these products brought a lot of convenience, surveys revealed that many people who bought them spent a lot of effort adjusting the position and angle of the stand, ultimately using them very little because they were too lazy.

　Volume 1: 320 - Luring the Enemy Deep or Inviting Them into a Trap?

　Black Eyes looked at Will quietly. "Once this is over, I will ask the captain to heal you. I will always protect you and take responsibility for you. Please, live on."

　Just as Will was about to say something more, his eyes were suddenly covered, followed by a soft, moist, jelly-like touch. As Will stammered, Ran burst in, "Everyone, General Esdeath has already gone there. Oh, Kurohime, and Will, what's wrong with you?"

　As for Tatsumi, he managed to rescue the convoy that had been attacked by the Dangerous Species and thus returned to the Imperial Capital.

　Upon learning that Esdeath and the others had been moved, Najenda immediately decided to assassinate Beric. The labyrinthine religious city would make a night raid ideal, allowing for a swift escape after the assassination. However, unbeknownst to them, Esdeath had already returned to the capital and brazenly appeared beside Beric. At the same time, the Four Demons of the Rakshasa arrived...

　Here, as executioners directly under Minister Ernest, the Rakshasa Four Demons possess extremely strong physical abilities and even have the superpower to manipulate their bodies. They can defeat Imperial Arms users even with their bare hands.

　Esdeath's strength was so great that even ten Imperial Arms users and an army of 500,000 would have difficulty killing her. Just as Najenda was considering what to do next, Esdeath killed the leader of the Peace Path, which forced the Night Raid in the shadows to take action.

　The young girl has been feeling hungry a lot lately. She has already eaten all the dragon materials and dragon crystals in her bracelet. In addition, the ores can't relieve her hunger. The situation is a bit serious. Even Lanmei can see that the young girl has been a bit listless lately.

　"Xiao Guang, are you alright? You've been acting really strange lately."

　( )

　"Ugh~ I'm hungry again."

　Lanmei brushed aside the little girl's bangs and pressed her forehead against the girl's. Judging from her body temperature, the little girl was slightly hot. The little girl involuntarily opened her mouth and licked Lanmei's cheek with her tongue as she smelled the scent emanating from Lanmei. Lanmei wondered if the little girl had eaten something she shouldn't have. But then she thought about it and realized that she and the little girl had eaten exactly the same things recently. There was no reason why the little girl was sick while she was fine. Moreover, in terms of actual physical condition, the little girl's digestive ability was much stronger than hers.

　Could it be due to differences between individual Elder Dragons?

　The little girl flicked her tail and left Lanmei's arms, grabbed the raging giant beast and jumped into the nearby river. Lanmei looked at the calm water, thinking about what had happened to the little girl. Logically speaking, it was almost impossible for a little girl with such a body to get sick. Lanmei recalled that the little girl's sleep time and frequency of feeling tired had indeed increased recently. She suspected that it was some unknown infectious disease.

　"Boom!" Three huge water columns suddenly rose from the river surface. The little girl struggled to drag three four-meter-long ghost-eye fish to the shore. When Lanmei saw the little girl's appearance, she smiled gently. Because the little girl's small hands could only hold one fish, she held one fish in each hand and one fish in her mouth as she came to the shore.
