Chapter 176 Meeting, Everyone's Choice.
Chapter 176 Meeting, Everyone's Choice.
Inside the palace, Ye Xiao and Esdeath chatted casually.
Esdeath felt that a simple life was pretty good.
I should head south as soon as possible, kill that little emperor, retire early, and then settle down in the Lord's world.
At that moment, a soldier knocked on the door and came in.
"Your Majesty, General."
"What happened?"
"General Numa encountered General Esdeath's men on his hunting trip; they are almost at the capital."
The soldiers reported the facts truthfully.
Ye Xiao nodded. Esdeath's subordinates, the Three Beast Warriors, and the members of the Hunter Squad were all quite good.
Except for those two guys, of course.
Those were Niu, one of the three orcs, and Seryu Ubiquitas of the hunter squad. Ye Xiao's senses were slightly different between these two.
Esdeath's lips curled slightly upward when she heard that her subordinates were almost at the capital.
Almost half of the Empire's high-end combat power is here.
"understood."
Ye Xiao nodded and continued, "Once they arrive, take them to the conference hall. I'll be waiting for them there."
"clear."
The imperial capital of the Northern Kingdom.
Two enormous lions, a dangerous breed, were resting at the gate.
These two are considered the most dangerous species in the North.
After Ye Xiao's persuasion and Esdeath's "friendly" communication, these two dangerous species were given government jobs and became part of the official organization.
Moreover, lions are good for guarding the house and protecting the main gate.
Numa and his entourage are about to arrive in the capital.
They were all somewhat looking forward to meeting this king.
Especially Lan from the Hunter Squad.
The situation along the way was completely different from that of the Empire, and this was only the result of the king's efforts in half a month.
He was looking forward to meeting the king.
Soon, Numa and his party arrived in the capital.
The moment the two lions sensed the presence of Riva and his group, they locked onto them instantly.
Liva and his men were also ready for battle in an instant.
"Skaar, Skaarf, these are the guests of the King and the General."
Upon hearing this, the two lions slowly withdrew their imposing aura and continued to lie down and rest.
Liva and the others relaxed, not expecting that there would be two Kings of Dangerous Species at the gate of the capital.
As soon as they entered the city, a soldier ran up to them.
"General Numa, gentlemen, the King invites you to the meeting hall."
"clear."
Numa understood and then turned to say, "Let's all go together."
The group then entered the palace and headed towards the meeting hall.
Upon arriving at the conference hall, Ye Xiao and Esdeath were already waiting there.
"General."
"General."
"..."
The three beastmen and the members of the hunter squad bowed to Esdeath.
Numa then reported the surrounding situation to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao waved his hand, signaling Numa to stop. "I have a general understanding of the situation. From now on, proceed according to the original plan."
He glanced at the crowd and said, "Welcome to the Northern Kingdom."
He scanned the crowd, and they, in turn, were observing the king who was changing the North.
Ye Xiao slowly spoke: "Everyone, are you willing to follow me and rebuild a nation?"
The scene was calm as they pondered.
However, Riva, Daidas, and Niu knelt down on one knee without any hesitation.
"We are willing to follow the new king."
For them, Esdeath had already given them the answer.
Since Esdeath chose them, they will do their best to help them.
Ye Xiao nodded.
"Get up, Esdeath. I'm leaving these three to you."
"No problem."
Esdeath nodded and then made arrangements for the three of them.
His gaze then fell upon the hunter squad.
Black Eyes, Dr. Fashion, Lan, and Borus.
A twisted sister complex, a gay scientist, a teacher seeking revenge for his students, and a pure human being.
Ye Xiao looked at the remaining members of the hunter squad, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "And you?"
Lan sized up the new king before her.
He must have extraordinary abilities to bring about such a great change in the North in just half a month.
Moreover, compared to the empire, this place is more like a place where people can truly live and work in peace and contentment.
Lan knelt down first, saying, "I am willing to follow the king and rebuild a new kingdom."
"very good."
Ye Xiao nodded and then handed him a document.
This is all the information about the massacre of Lanzhou students.
The murderer was Shangpu, a subordinate of the minister's son.
"Is this for real, Your Majesty?"
"Yes, don't worry, there will be opportunities."
Then he looked at Dr. Fashion, the mad scientist with homosexual tendencies.
"And what about Mr. Fashion?"
"Well, I am honored that you think highly of me."
Dr. Fashion bowed slightly, then continued, "I wonder if you would allow me to conduct human experiments?"
"Human experimentation is out of the question. However, I have something much better for you to research. I wonder if you're interested in something that surpasses the Imperial Arms?"
The fashionista, who was initially somewhat disappointed, became interested after hearing the second half of Ye Xiao's sentence.
Something that surpasses the Imperial Arms.
I'm so excited!
For him, pursuing fashion and creating equipment like the Teigu is his dream.
"Of course I'm interested!"
Dr. Fashion's eyes lit up.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly, then flipped his hand, and a notebook appeared in his hand.
Then it was attributed to fashion.
The fashion was lifeless, so I curiously opened it and started looking at it.
Gradually, fashion became exciting.
"Genius! Truly a genius! Everything is possible; this surpasses even Imperial Arms!!"
Fashion spoke excitedly, then bowed to Ye Xiao and said, "Fashion is willing to follow in the king's footsteps. I wonder if this could be given to me?"
"Take it."
"Thank you, Wang!"
Fashion surrendered without hesitation.
Ye Xiao nodded.
It's at least a simplified version of Azazel's Artifact Notebook, similar to the Imperial Arms of this world.
Then only Kurohime and Borus will be on the field.
He looked at Borus in front of him and simply said...
"Polus, from now on, direct your flames towards the enemy and become a true soldier."
"Your wife and daughters have already been brought over; someone will take you there later."
Polus was taken aback, but didn't say anything and simply lowered his head.
Ye Xiao's assessment of this guy was that he was just a good person who only knew how to follow orders.
That leaves only Kurohime.
She was eating cookies in front of Ye Xiao when she saw him looking over, and she immediately hugged him.
"This...this is mine."
Alright, both sisters are gluttons.
"Kuro-tomi, your sister will be coming in a few days. You and Esdeath should go together to invite her."
If nothing unexpected happens, you and your sister won't be separated again.
His usually expressionless face now showed emotion.
I don't know whether I'm happy or what.
She stared intently at Ye Xiao: "Really? My sister is really coming?"
Ye Xiao smiled and nodded: "Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."
A smile, unseen for a long time, appeared on Kuro's face; the smile seemed somewhat sickly.
"I promise you, I will follow you and rebuild the new kingdom together. When my sister comes, we can be together forever."
Ye Xiao nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Esdeath stepped forward, a hint of pride in her eyes: "My lord, my subordinates are all elites of the empire, and they will surely be able to solve your problems in the future."
Ye Xiao looked at everyone and said loudly, "With your participation, the establishment of a new nation is just around the corner. From now on, let us fight side by side for a new future!"
The crowd shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the conference hall, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope for the future.
(Damn, this feels like I'm writing a historical novel! It's so frustrating.)
