The demon monk in the second dimension

He sat back down and continued reviewing the memorials.

"Since you want to be a palace maid, then I will grant your wish. From now on, you will be a foot-washing maid in the palace, responsible for emptying the leftover water for washing your face, bathing, and washing your feet. Oh, by the way..."

He glanced at Chelsea and gave her a serious warning.

"Even though I am the emperor, you cannot drink this water."

Who would drink that!

Chelsea wanted to say that, but her life was in Xia Zhi's hands, and the eyes of the people next to her seemed like knives that wanted to tear her to pieces, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous.

She knelt down in front of Xia Zhi with a thud, and "willingly" accepted the position of foot-washing maid, thanking Xia Zhi in return.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

Chelsea Summer Solstice was magnanimous enough to let it go, but the Revolutionary Army was not.

Akame was sent with Chelsea to bring Lina back, and Xia Zhi summoned Najendan.

"General Najendan, the Revolutionary Army has just sent assassins to take my life."

This news shocked Najendan, who immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness from Xia Zhi.

"Your Majesty, this humble general deserves to die!"

Her heart sank, and she said with a bitter smile: "In the end, the revolutionary army made the worst choice."

But Najendan was not surprised.

Some members of the revolutionary army, having tasted the sweetness of power, will certainly not relinquish it easily.

"I do not mean to blame the general, but I feel that some people have taken my good intentions for granted and my tolerance for weakness."

"This makes me very unhappy!"

"Although I am young, I am not someone to be trifled with!"

Xia Zhi took a tiger tally from the table next to him and gave the order.

"Esdeath, Najenda, obey my command!"

Esdeath approached Najenda and knelt on one knee before the summer solstice.

"Major Leone is to be transferred from the Hunters to the Imperial City Management Brigade as deputy captain. You are to lead the Hunters and the Four Rakshasa Demons, with Najendan as your deputy, and lead an army of 200,000 to the south to quell the revolutionary army."

"None of the masterminds should be spared, but the killings should not be excessive. As long as they withdraw from the revolutionary army, they will still be my subjects."

"I obey your Majesty's orders!"

Esdeath took the Tiger Token, turned to look at Najenda, and her face was full of mockery.

After many twists and turns, Najendan became her deputy again.

And this time, they're going to deal with the revolutionary army!

That's really hilarious!

Najendan sighed.

She had already written a letter urging them to surrender, and His Majesty was generous enough to temporarily ignore the revolutionary army's affairs and deal with the internal affairs of the empire first, waiting for the revolutionary army to change their minds.

Unfortunately, they courted their own doom. Seeing signs of revival in the empire, they not only refused to submit but even sent assassins to kill His Majesty.

Although she knew that some people in the high command of the revolutionary army did not deserve to die, she was afraid that this was no longer an option.

Here, Najendan can only apologize to her former colleagues in the Revolutionary Army.

"Your Majesty is still young. It is already remarkable that you have managed to remain untainted by the corrupt Minister Honest. We must not allow someone as inhuman as Esdeath to lead Your Majesty astray!"

"In this battle, we must completely sever ties with the revolutionary army and annihilate them!"

……

The world is not black and white.

Even a scoundrel like Ouka was seen as a loving mentor by Seryu, who was undergoing labor reform.

Seryu, who would kill even the most petty thieves, has also protected the people of the capital from robbers and thugs on more than one occasion.

Although Xia Zhi saw some merit in the revolutionary army, he was ultimately the one who replaced the young emperor.

If he had replaced a high-ranking member of the revolutionary army, that would be a different story.

Upon hearing that Xia Zhi had ordered Esdeath and Najenda to lead a large army to wipe out the Revolutionary Army in court, the Revolutionary Army knew that their assassination attempt had failed.

However, having made prior preparations, they were prepared to act regardless of whether the assassination failed or succeeded, and thus took the lead in the uprising.

This time, the revolutionary army once again contacted the officials who had been demoted from the capital to the border, as well as the foreign peoples of the West.

A month has passed since Minister Ernest was killed. These officials know that the current imperial policies are completely different from before. Seeing the hope of the empire's resurgence, they have not responded to the revolutionary army's call.

Meanwhile, those who were originally enemies of the revolutionary army, the prefects and city lords who preyed on the people, saw General Bude killing and arresting people and instead responded to the revolutionary army's uprising, raising the slogan of "overthrowing the Dark Empire".

It's downright dark humor.

However, in order to achieve final victory, the revolutionary army accepted these people, saying that this was "the growing pains of the revolution."

Everything is for a better future.

At the same time, the revolutionary army stated that after overthrowing the empire, they would give more land to Western foreign peoples.

This even includes some empires whose territories have been rich in resources since ancient times.

Therefore, Western foreign tribes also launched attacks on the empire.

In an instant, war broke out across the empire.

Xia Zhi directly ordered General Bu De to conscript troops on the spot to quell the rebellion and dispatched experts from the Imperial Fist Temple to assist in resisting the invasion of the Western foreign tribes.

But the officials in the imperial court could still accept it.

Most people believed that once the fire was extinguished, Minister Ernest's remaining influence would be largely eradicated, and the empire would be able to regain its vitality.

Inside the palace, Mine has been in low spirits lately.

When Western ethnic groups rise up in rebellion, there will inevitably be many more mixed-race war orphans like her.

The imperialists disliked it, and the Western foreign peoples also rejected it.

She wanted to petition Xia Zhi to go to the front lines, but Xia Zhi not only refused her, but also gave her pumpkin cannon to Najendan.

For a time, Mine was reduced to the same role as Chelsea as a palace maid, which made her depressed.

Black Eyes's Eighth Chamber was taken by Xia Zhi, but it gained the approval of Wind Blade Sword and is currently being used to break in the new Imperial Arms.

Seeing Mine's appearance, Xia Zhi, who was enjoying the garden, suddenly turned around and hugged her.

"ah!"

Mine let out a cute scream, and her face flushed red instantly.

"His Majesty!"

On the summer solstice, she plucked a valuable flower and gently placed it behind Mayne's ear.

He pulled Mayne to sit on a bench, then held her in his lap.

"Is Mine still troubled by the rebellion of the Western foreign tribes?"

This intimate posture made Mine incredibly shy, and all thoughts of war and foreign tribes were forgotten.

"It's not that distressing."

Red eyes and black eyes: (?▽?)

They just stared at Mine without saying a word, making Mine so ashamed that she lowered her head and dared not look into their eyes.

As a result, Xia Zhi pulled Chi Tong and Hei Tong into her arms.

The four of them huddled together in silence, letting time slowly pass by.

Outside the capital, a green leaf was blown down by the wind and landed on Esdeath's head as she was ordered to go to war.

Chapter 262 Battle with Esdeath

In order to successfully overthrow the empire, the revolutionary army also contacted pirates in the southern islands.

They promised to give them all the islands once the empire was overthrown.

Therefore, the pirates also joined the revolutionary army.

"Doesn't this mean that all sorts of demons and monsters have come out?"

Looking at the reports sent by the hunters who acted as scouts, Xia Zhi felt that after this wave, she could indeed settle down and govern the empire in peace.

"I was shocked when I saw it. My empire is full of parasites and pests."

He suddenly had an idea that could boost the army's fighting spirit, and a smirk appeared on his face.

"That sounds interesting, let's do it that way."

Esdeath, who was confronting the pirates at the front and waiting for the navy, suddenly received an urgent message.

"Ok?"

She opened it and found a message Xia Zhi had written to her.

"General Esdeath, I seem to have truly reached the age where my heart is fluttering with desire. If we don't quell the rebellion soon, by the time you return to the capital, Kurome, Akame, and Mine might be pregnant."

Esdeath: ? ? ?

I was quelling a rebellion at the front, and now my harem is in turmoil?

Outrageous!

Despite it being the dead of night, Esdeath unleashed a terrifying killing intent!

The Hunters, along with Najenda, Brand, Lubbock, and others, were all awakened.

They immediately ran out of the tent and watched Esdeath roar angrily at the great river in front of her.

"General Binglan!"

A vast expanse of icy energy erupted from Esdeath, transforming into countless ice cavalrymen, fully equipped with soldiers and armor!

These cavalrymen stepped directly from the ground into the water, their icy aura spreading outwards and freezing everything in their path.

Countless ice riders charged towards the pirates in the river, freezing the entire river solid!

(っ°Д°;)っ

"kill!"

Esdeath charged into the pirate horde, leading the charge from the cavalry.

She continuously fired ice spears over ten meters long, piercing through pirate ships one after another, turning them into something resembling hedgehogs.

The cavalry then charged forward, smashing the pirate ship frozen on the sea surface to pieces and slaughtering the pirates inside; it was more like venting their anger than fighting.

Occasionally, some pirates manage to retaliate, but Esdeath immediately throws a giant ice ball, twenty meters in diameter, at them, killing them instantly.

These pirates were truly doomed to encounter the enraged Esdeath.

Najenda picked up the letter Esdeath had dropped on the ground, quickly glanced through it, and sighed in exasperation.

"My Majesty!"

That night, Esdeath single-handedly wiped out the pirate alliance, terrifying the revolutionary army and the Western alien races.

……

Esdeath alone is equivalent to an army of 200,000. Sending her to quell the Xia Zhi rebellion is not a cause for concern; victory is only a matter of time.

The example of 400,000 people from northern ethnic minorities is right there, yet some people are still blinded by greed and think they can do it themselves.

Furthermore, Najendan was well-versed in the Revolutionary Army's troops and tactics, and even halfway there, some Revolutionary Army members defected to her side to act as her guides.

The rebellion launched by the revolutionary army was quelled in just three months.

Meanwhile, although the Western tribes were still entangled with General Bud, the revolutionary army had all fallen, and they naturally became like grasshoppers in autumn.

Xia Zhi used a clever trick to incite an internal rebellion among the Western tribes, replacing them with new leaders.

The price was that Mine would become his queen and that trade with Western peoples would be opened.
