I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

"I've decided to put General Esdeath in charge of pacifying this war, but her energy is limited, so I'd like to mobilize some personnel from the security forces to assist."

In fact, according to common sense, General Bud did not need to obtain permission from Yoriichi Tsugikuni to transfer people from the guard team.

However, after experiencing this battle in the imperial capital, Bud's level of respect for Tsugikuni Yoriichi has increased to another level.

Therefore, before he was transferred to the guard team, he wanted to ask for Tsugikuni Yoriichi's opinion.

"It's the General's arrangement."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had no particular obsession with the affiliation of each member of the security team.

He does not have the strong desire for control that some officials often have.

"Ah."

Seeing Ji Guoyuan nodded.

Although Bud had expected this, he was relieved.

Before anyone knew it, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni had become a very important figure in the empire.

The combined number of his imperial weapon users far exceeds that of the Empire.

Moreover, these imperial weapon users have a very high degree of recognition for him.

From the perspective of a country's security, a group like Tsugikuni Yoriichi should not exist.

After all, so many imperial weapon users gathered together are fully capable of subverting a country.

But the situation within the empire is now quite complicated.

Besides, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni himself is not an ambitious person.

Otherwise, Bud would not have agreed to let Chitong and others join the security team.

. . . . . .

"My lord, order has been restored in the city."

"It shouldn't be long before the Imperial Capital can return to its pre-war state."

Dozens of civil servants gathered in a hall.

Without exception, they were all Ernest's confidants.

A pot-bellied official stepped forward and reported to Ernest the specific situation in the imperial capital.

"It seems that Esdeath's deterrent power is truly astonishing."

After swallowing a piece of raw meat, Ernest slowly raised his head and looked at the many officials in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a serious tone: "In the coming period, at least until the empire returns to normal, I hope everyone will keep their hands to themselves."

Ernest's meaning is self-evident.

Even though he was obsessed with power, he was very clear.

If the empire cannot stand up again, it will be of no use even if he controls more officials.

If the empire were destroyed by the revolutionary army and people of foreign nationalities, it would be the greatest disaster for him.

He was definitely the one who suffered the most serious losses.

Ernest knew the temperaments of his men very well.

Anyone who can be won over by him has some leverage in his hands.

Therefore, although these people are easy to control, they are not so worry-free.

Normally, he would turn a blind eye to such things.

But now, if these people do something bad, he will be the one who suffers in the end. Naturally, he does not want to see such a thing.

"Don't worry, sir. We won't cause you any trouble."

Seeing Ernest's cold expression, everyone knew that Ernest was not joking.

How could someone who can survive in official circles be a fool?

Therefore, everyone has a sense of propriety as to what should be done and what should not be done.

After all these years of getting along with Ernest, everyone has already figured out his temper.

Although Ernest usually looks very kind, he never shows mercy when it comes to key interests.

"By the way, now that the empire is slowly recovering, it's time to make some preparations for the future."

Seeing everyone looking at him respectfully, not daring to breathe, Ernest nodded in satisfaction. He stroked the wine glass in his hand and looked at the timid crowd again: "Tsugokuni Yuichi's existence is always a hidden danger. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"Sir, Tsugikuni Yoriichi is too powerful. I think since we can't get rid of him, we might as well change our strategy and send him away."

After hearing Ernest's question, an official stepped forward and suggested: "I heard that he wants to go to sea to find his hometown. Why don't we help him find his hometown?"

After hearing his men's proposal, Ernest fell silent.

In fact, he had this thought when he heard that Tsugikuni Yoriichi was looking for a way back to his hometown.

Chapter 134: Reconquest Begins, Esdeath Waits [Update 2]

But at that time, he thought he should still have a chance to control Yoshiichi Tsugikuni.

But now, he discovered that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's strength was like a bottomless pit and it was impossible to see clearly.

So he was prepared to use this proposal as a last resort.

After all, he had heard some interesting things recently.

Maybe things will turn around.

"If Esdeath gets serious, she might be able to surprise you."

From some intelligence, Ernest learned that Esdeath was preparing to take action against Tsugikoku Enishi.

This made him look forward to it.

"By the way, regarding the final disposition of those prisoners, have our people provide Esdeath with some assistance to make the outcome more severe."

After thinking for a while, Ernest decided to give the matter some more air.

. . . . . .

Imperial Guard Headquarters.

After discussing with Bud, Tsugumi Yoshiichi returned to the guard team.

This time, in order to eliminate the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army as soon as possible, Bud finally transferred Iyeas, Tatsumi, Sau, Chelsea, and Sero.

Most of these people belong to the Empire.

He couldn't be completely at ease with the former Night Raid members who had just entered the empire not long ago.

After all, this matter is of great importance and no mistakes can be made.

"Don't worry, Master. I will take good care of everyone."

Seeing Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's worried look, Iyeas patted his chest and promised, "I will bring everyone back safely."

"Iyeas are you serious?"

Tatsumi, as usual, began to dismantle Iyeas.

"Of course, everyone knows that I am the most stable among my master's disciples."

Iyeas glared at Tatsumi, although everyone's action this time had already been decided.

However, the captain candidate, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, has not yet been determined.

"Then this time, let Chelsea lead the team."

Jiguo Yuanyi thought about it and finally made a decision.

Although Chelsea once served in the revolutionary army, she was undoubtedly the calmest among everyone.

"..."

Iyeas's smile froze on his face, but he quickly adjusted himself, scratched his head, and smiled to hide his embarrassment: "Actually, I don't really want to be the captain. After all, I don't want to do such tiring work."

"Iyeas will be the vice-captain."

Looking at Iyeas, whose face was flushed red, Jiguo Yuanyi thought for a moment and then added, he looked at Iyeas and asked, "Iyeas, are you willing?"

"Of course I'm willing. I'm the one who can endure the most hardships, right, Tatsumi?"

After hearing what Tsugikuni Yoriichi said, Iyeas immediately changed his tone. He looked at Tatsumi threateningly with an expression that said, "If you dare to sabotage me again, I'll make you pay."

"Hahaha, well, Iyeas is pretty good."

Looking at the light circles that lit up under his feet, Tatsumi smiled and nodded.

Since the creation of Shangri-La, Iyeas has developed various suffocating attack methods using this imperial weapon.

For example, teleporting the enemy to a place like a toilet.

"Okay, everyone, get ready."

Although there were many imperial weapon users participating in this operation.

And in the end, it was Esdeath who led the team, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni still couldn't help but feel a little worried about everyone.

However, there is still some time before the empire's pacification army sets out, so everyone has enough time to prepare.

"So what are our plans?"

Compared to Leona who was still lying in bed, Maine's injuries had almost healed. The effect of the Empire's medicine allowed her to almost recover in a very short time.

After lying in bed for several days, Chelsea helped her get the imperial weapon back. Main really wanted to make a difference in the guard team.

Being taken care of all the time is not her style.

"You will be responsible for maintaining order in the imperial capital."

Looking at Main, Akame, and Hill who had not yet made any arrangements, Tsugumi Yoshiichi made a decision.

When Iyeas and the others went out with the army, the things that they were previously responsible for were naturally handed over to Main and others.

"team leader."

Lan came in from outside, panting, and from his furrowed brows it was obvious that something serious had happened.

"Esdeath decided to bury alive all those who participated in the attack on the Imperial Capital."

After taking a short breath, Lan reported the news she had just received to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

"How could this be?"

Upon hearing this news, Ji Guoyuan was slightly stunned.

According to his original expectation, these people would most likely be exiled to the empire's plantation areas after completing their labor.

After all, after the war, the empire's population has decreased severely, and now there is a shortage of labor.

Keeping these people here is the most appropriate way to deal with the situation at the moment.

"What is she going to do, kill for the sake of killing?"

Jiguo Yuanyi took the notice handed to him by Lan and began to read it carefully.

In fact, if he had simply killed those members of the revolutionary army, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi would not have thought there was anything wrong with it.

After all, deterrence is an indispensable thing for a country.

However, the people who were decided to be executed this time also included a large number of refugees who were taken away by the revolutionary army. In essence, these people were also victims.

Therefore, Tsugikuni Yuichiro did not agree with this result.

Without hesitation, Jiguo Yuanyi went straight to the suburbs.

He wanted to stop the killing.

Even though Yoshikazu Tsugakuni knew that Esdeath did this just to establish the majesty of the empire.

But her actions were a bit too cruel.

"Master, wait for me."
