I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

Even in this expedition, Esdeath herself subsidized a lot of things.

"Where is the Rockfall Mountains?"

After reading the intelligence in his hand, Jiguo Yuanyi always felt that the sudden appearance of the enemy troops that had been elusive was a bit too coincidental.

"The Rockfall Mountains are located on the western border of the empire."

"That place has the largest mountain range in the empire, and the terrain is very complex."

Lan was very familiar with the empire's geography. Seeing Tsugikoku Yoshiichi frown slightly, he asked thoughtfully, "Captain, are you worried that General Esdeath and the others will be ambushed?"

"Actually, Captain, there's no need to worry. General Esdeath has been fighting for many years, and she should have anticipated a situation like this."

Tsugumi Yuichiro naturally thought of what Lan said, but in fact, this was not what he was worried about.

The fact that the revolutionary army was able to remain undetected for such a long time after the battle showed that their leader had an extraordinary talent in commanding the battle.

There's no way he's some stupid person.

Therefore, Esdeath would be alert and aware of such an ambush in the Falling Rock Mountains.

He must have expected this.

But even in such a situation, he still chose to lure Esdeath and the imperial army there, which shows that he was confident that he could cause enough trouble to Esdeath there.

This is what Ji Guoyuanyi is worried about.

"But there's something wrong with this."

"It is said that the leader of the revolutionary army is a very wise man. He is even known as the wise man in the revolutionary army."

Lan quickly thought of some doubtful points. Since he had been studying the relationship between the various forces in the empire, he had some understanding of the situation on the revolutionary army's side.

The leader of the revolutionary army is a very mysterious person. Although he is not well-known, he is a very legendary figure.

In just a few years, he established the revolutionary army and developed it to the point where it could compete with the empire.

He also recruited some of the most powerful and prestigious generals in the empire, including Najeshitan.

And a large number of imperial weapon users.

Lan doesn't think that such a person would be a simple person.

"Perhaps he wanted to exploit General Esdeath's pride and deliberately provoke her."

After thinking about it for a while, Shayou also gave her own opinion.

"That's possible."

Although Shayou's statement is somewhat subjective and speculative, in Lan's opinion, it is possible.

After all, Esdeath has never lost.

If she is really angered, it is possible that she will do something wrong.

"Would she really make a mistake in her judgment because of her emotions?"

Jiguo Yuanyi fell into deep thought.

During his interactions with Esdeath, he could indeed feel that Esdeath was a very strong and confident person.

But he had also felt Esdeath's clear mind and accurate judgment when she was fighting.

Chapter 116: Earthquake, the Little Emperor Who Disappointed Budd [Fourth Update]

So there is a situation where Esdeath loses her mind.

Yoshikazu Tsugikuni was a little skeptical that it would happen.

Rumble!

Just as everyone was thinking about it, suddenly, the ground began to shake violently.

A large number of cracks appeared on the brick and stone paved ground in a very short period of time.

There were also many buildings in the city that collapsed continuously due to the shaking because they could not withstand the huge force.

Dust filled the sky, rising from the city.

"What happened? An earthquake?"

Holding on to a big tree, he looked at the cracks on the walls of some of the security buildings.

Iyeas was filled with questions.

Fortunately, the vibration did not last long and stopped completely after a while.

"Let everyone patrol the imperial capital."

"Join the rescue."

Ji Guoyuan jumped onto a high tower of the guard team that was cracked by the earthquake and looked at the situation in the entire imperial capital.

Although it seems that the damage caused to the imperial capital by this earthquake is limited.

However, many houses still collapsed, and faint cries for help could be heard from inside the city.

Seeing this situation, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not hesitate any longer. He immediately gave orders to gather the security team and began to rescue some of the affected people.

"Yes, Captain."

The security team reacted very quickly.

Not long after the order was given, Sau, Tatsumi, Sero, Ran, Sibia and others each led a team and began to run into the city.

This natural disaster came so suddenly that Tsugumi Yoshiichi has not yet reacted.

However, in his hometown, earthquakes are commonplace.

Not surprising.

However, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's concerns about the situation in the empire have deepened a lot.

From the moment he arrived in the empire, he had witnessed that the disasters happening in the empire had never stopped.

There were attacks from foreign tribes in the north, drought, civil unrest, and this war and earthquake.

So many disasters undoubtedly made the situation of the empire worse.

"Compared to my hometown, the situation here seems to be quite bad."

While participating in the rescue work on the streets with Ah Dai, Jiguo Yuanyi recalled the situation in his hometown. Before, he had thought that the situation would be better here because there were no evil spirits.

But now it seems that it is not much better.

"Save my mother."

"My child, my child."

"Azhe, wake up, wake up quickly."

...

The houses collapsed because of the earthquake.

A lot of people were buried under the rubble.

There were cries for help, screams, and crying everywhere.

"Master, there are so many injured people."

"We don't have enough people."

Shayou ran over from a distance after the earthquake just happened.

Although only about one-fifth of the buildings in the imperial capital collapsed, the imperial capital was so large that the security force only had more than 500 people in total.

For the entire imperial capital, it is like a drop in the bucket.

The number of people who can be saved is extremely limited.

"Report it to the General's Mansion and ask for help from General Bud."

After thinking about it, Ji Guoyuan thought of the Guards.

Now, the only army in the entire imperial capital is the Guards.

"I'm afraid General Budd won't let the guards out easily."

Lan came from afar. As soon as the disaster occurred, he began to travel to various places in the imperial capital to check the specific situation of the disaster.

Hearing what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said, Lan shook his head and said, "This is a special period. The main mission of the Imperial Guards is to protect the safety of the Emperor. General Bud is a very stubborn man. The chances of him agreeing are slim."

"Give it a try, it's better than doing nothing."

"Also, let's mobilize the city's residents to help."

Although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had heard some things about General Bud, at present, apart from asking for help from General Bud, there is no other department in the imperial capital that can provide sufficient assistance.

After thinking about it, he still wanted to give it a try.

"Then I'll go for a trip."

Lan no longer hesitated. He flew directly into the sky and flew towards the palace.

It didn't take long for Lan to arrive outside Bud's mansion.

"General Bud has entered the palace."

"If there is anything, I will report it on your behalf."

After explaining his purpose and listening to the guard's words, Lan couldn't help but frown.

Obviously, Bud was most likely to enter the palace to discuss this matter with many civil officials.

After informing the guard of his purpose, Ran did not stay long. After all, as the one who could fly among the crowd, he needed to stay by Tsugikuni Yoriichi's side at all times to assist in dispatches.

At the same time, inside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the damage to the Imperial Capital is severe. Please mobilize the Imperial Guards for assistance."

Qiao Li walked from the back of the line of civil officials to the front of the crowd and loudly proposed to the little emperor sitting on the podium.

"What do you think, Ernest?"

Seeing dozens of officials in the audience looking at him, waiting for his approval, the little emperor thought for a moment, then looked directly at Ernest on the side.

"The city has suffered a disaster, and the people are in trouble. It is understandable that Your Majesty sent troops to rescue them."

"But now the revolutionary army is rampant. They may appear in the imperial capital at any time. If they attack the palace, Your Majesty will be in danger."

Hearing the little emperor's question, Ernest answered calmly. At the end, he looked at Qiao Li in the audience and asked, "Although Master Qiao cares about the people, has he not considered the safety of His Majesty?"

"I have naturally considered your Majesty's safety, but the situation in the city is undoubtedly more urgent."

Jolly couldn't help but frown as he watched Ernest throw the question back to him. It was obvious that Ernest wanted to put him on the spot and accuse him of not caring about the emperor's safety.

But this is the current situation, even though I know there is a trap in Ernest's words.

Jolly still stepped on it without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, it seems to me that Lord Qiao doesn't care about your safety."

Ernest smiled slightly, shook his head, and continued, "But it's not surprising. Lord Qiao is a long-time minister of the late emperor, so naturally he doesn't have much sense of identity with His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be angry. Lord Qiao was just anxious for a moment."

General Bud was guarding on the side.

After Ernest finished speaking, the little emperor frowned.

He was somewhat disappointed with the little emperor.

After thinking for a while, Bud stepped forward and pleaded with Qiao Li: "Your Majesty's safety is indeed important. Why not send some people to support him?"

"Then let's leave this matter to General Budd."

Hearing what General Bud said, the little emperor subconsciously looked at Ernest, but finally saw that Ernest didn't say anything.

Only then did he make the final decision.
