"If you can help me without asking, I can swear that what I said is true. I only pursue these things. After all, the existence of soldiers is in essence, apart from aggression against foreign countries to plunder resources and start wars in special times, to maintain peace and order. , this is the most important job on weekdays."

"You are right. Protecting the country and its people, and waging war against other countries are the main duties of the army, but loyalty to the monarch is the most important one."

"Yes, yes... I know, but I have no ambition to be an emperor, and I have no idea of ​​leaving the empire. You don't have to worry about it, but I can't watch the minister's people persecuting the people in my jurisdiction, so I refused the minister's appointment. sent."

"...You mean, the empire has restored imperial power, will you hand over the land to the empire?"

"Of course, I have no interest in managing people. If I can, I just want to enjoy life quietly and be a carefree salary thief."

"...doesn't look like he's lying."

Bud stared at Yong Ye closely, but he couldn't see any sense of lies. Although he felt a little unbelievable, he finally chose to believe it.

"I can't say anything right now, but when His Majesty grows up, the imperial power will definitely be taken back. The tragedies that are happening in the empire now will become a thing of the past."

"Well, I look forward to that day."

Nodding without the slightest hope, Yong Ye temporarily fooled the upright but loyal General Bude. After all, he was indeed that kind of pursuit, but it is another matter to be completely disappointed with the empire now, and he continued 's behavior will also be forced to be helpless again, because...

Now he has absolutely no idea that the little emperor can be separated from the ministers, and he has any expectation of becoming independent. In order to protect himself, he can only temporarily watch the fire from the shore, and when the empire declines further, he will seize the opportunity to take action.

.

After talking with Budd and reaching a partial agreement, Yong Ye left the imperial city under the watchful eye of Budd and returned to the peaceful mansion.

Because he planned to use pirates to relieve his mental agitation, and to increase the system's soul reserve to a certain extent, he did not plan to bring anyone with him, but simply talked to the guards of the mansion, and began to take office alone. journey.

He didn't need much sleep at night, so he rode the empire over the palace at night, and used the emperor's tools to raise and tame one of the dangerous species, the flying dragon, and flew to the east of the empire.

A flying dragon with two horns on its muscular head and its wings spread out is thirteen or four meters wide. Although it looks very powerful, it is actually a flying dragon of a first-class dangerous species, and it is just a common travel tool for imperial generals.

After all, the empire is very big. Without these flying dangerous species as means of transportation, it would take a month or two to travel from the imperial capital to the East without taking the dangerous species. Of course... this is in the ordinary sense of the Middle Ages. way to move.

Holding the iron chain, standing on the back of the flying dragon and driving the flying dragon on the soles of the feet, Yongye looked down at the earth from a height, first went to see the castle that was attacked by the night, and used the ability of five-vision universal perspective to observe their movements.

Most of the people in the night attack were sleeping in their rooms, and it seemed that there was no action tonight. Only Tazmi and Hill were on the lawn under the moonlight... Like last night, he and Akahito turned around. Four-year-old Hill holds fourteen-year-old Tazmi.

"This is also in the night attack. The youngest Tazmi seems to be very popular with the elders, such as this Hill who is ten years older than him..."

Noticing that there was nothing special about the night attack, Yong Ye just sighed about Tazmi's favor with the elders, and then continued to go east.

The East of the Empire actually went to Yongye not long ago. At that time, he just returned to the small town on the border and left, but this time he did not return to the former residence, and came directly to the harbor city.

No, to be precise, this is not so much a harbour city, this is a harbour town, for example, General Lopek mentioned by the minister... That General Lopek is indeed a general, but it is a city that has just been directly garrisoned by pirates. Crap out of here.

According to the mayor of this port town, General Lopek seems to have become a general because he was a distant relative of the minister.

On the second day of Yongye’s arrival in the town, on the second floor of the mansion specially used to entertain dignitaries in the town provided by the mayor, I looked at the map and studied the Erdayi City occupied by pirates. According to the existing information When analyzing the specific number of pirates other than the small town, a timid voice suddenly appeared downstairs.

"Then...that...Is Yongye and the Great General here?"

"Uh? You, who are you? General Yongye... It's not anyone who wants to meet. Even if our mayor wants to meet, we have to ask the general's permission to see if the general is free."

The security team in the town downstairs felt a little bit taken aback for some reason. Some strange Yong Ye walked to the window sill and looked down, just glanced at it, and immediately understood in general what was going on. something happened.

One wears a strange mask made of white cloth on his head, which is somewhat like the chemical army of the previous world. The eyes and mouth are round metal, and the nose has no extra opening. The upper body is naked and muscular, and there is still a chest. Three parallel claw marks apparently made by beasts.

It was this kind of man who looked very scary. He was looking at the guards who were standing guard with a completely different appearance. feeling frightened.

"Let him come up, he is the emperor's envoy transferred by the minister."

"Ah, yes!"

Witnessing that the man was carrying a white aluminum cylinder that was much larger than an ordinary gas bottle, this obvious feature made Yong Ye know that he was the emperor's envoy, and if there was no accident, it should be the emperor's envoy sent to him by the minister, so Open the window to let the guards below let in.

"What are you doing? Come up."

Glancing at the man who was still in a daze below, Yong Ye waved his hand casually and let him come up. Then he ignored him and sat back to his original position, studying maps and pirates.

Of course, on the second day of coming to the town full of the smell of the sea, Yong Ye was not waiting for the Emperor, but just studying the terrain of pirates and occupied cities. After all, when he came, he did it well. He planned to attack and destroy the pirates by himself.

"...I, I'm Borus from the Empire's Incineration Army. I have followed the order to report to you, General Evernight, and I'm mainly responsible for burning your corpses to prevent plagues from accumulating corpses..."

Putting his hands on his chest, the big man Boros, who looked awkward and timid, stood in front of the open door and whispered his origins.

It's a pity that Yong Ye didn't pay attention to him at the first time, which made him a little worried that Yong Ye didn't hear it, and raised his hand to remind him carefully.

"That... Yong Ye... General..."

"...What is Teigu?"

"Ah... Teigu? My Teigu is from Purgatory, Rubigand. The flame radiates Tegu. It can spray flames that cannot be extinguished with water, and can also spray magma from a distance.

Without any intention of concealing it, Boros obediently revealed his Teigu's trump card.

"I see, so now, take off your hood and I'll ask you one more question.

Yong Ye put on five-vision omnipotence, turned on the effect of hole vision, and let Poros take off his hood, wanting to see if this Poros was a spy.

"Huh? No... I look very..."

"Here's an order, take off your hood."

"But……"

"Follow orders, or die, which one to choose?"

"Yes……"

Although he was extremely reluctant to take off the hood, Boros was forced to take off the hood that was unique to his own burning troop due to Yongye's lewd power.

"...It looks surprisingly ordinary."

Seeing that after taking off the hood, she acted like a girl who was molested. In fact, there was nothing indecent in her appearance. The blond Borus, Yong Ye just shook his head helplessly at his character, and walked directly. into the subject and began his question.

"Who are you loyal to?"

"Who is your allegiance...who?"

"Yes, the answer is?"

"this……"

Poros considered it carefully and chose an answer that would not offend anyone.

"...The duty of a soldier is to obey orders."

"Really? Then your current order is to be loyal to me. From today, your allegiance is only to me, and you will no longer be dispatched by others. Even the minister's order will be ignored. Can this be done?"
