"Citizens Sora and Esdeath, you are truly amazing!"
As Sora and Esdeath approached, the young emperor spoke with a hint of excitement.
"General Budo has informed me that both of you are qualified to be generals! Loyal and talented individuals like you are rare indeed. I hereby appoint you both as generals of the Empire. Please continue to assist me in protecting the Empire!"
Holding his scepter, the young emperor issued the decree with great excitement, appointing Sora and Esdeath as the Empire's new generals.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Exchanging a glance, Sora and Esdeath both smiled, the meaning of which only they understood.
"General Sora, General Esdeath, congratulations!"
"Ah, the younger generation is becoming more and more outstanding. You two generals are truly remarkable! Truly remarkable!"
"With such talented individuals like you two generals, the empire's glory is within reach!"
"I always knew you two generals were extraordinary. Let's work together in the court and support each other! Support each other!"
…
After the young emperor, it was a group of sycophantic officials. Previously, these individuals had been cursing Sora and Esdeath as great villains, big liars, and reckless brats. Now, they all wore ingratiating smiles, which made Sora and Esdeath feel nauseous, wishing they could kick a few to death.
However, for now, the two had to endure, exchanging pleasantries with them. If anyone bothered them later, they would just kill them outright!
"Hehe, Lord Honest, I've long heard that you are the most capable minister of the empire. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation… so… majestic!"
Looking at the minister who was constantly eating, Sora smiled wickedly.
The reason he and Esdeath had achieved their goals so smoothly and become generals was largely due to this man's maneuvering and creating opportunities. Thinking about how much they would need this fat man for their future plans, Sora naturally had to establish a good relationship with him first.
"Hahaha, not at all, not at all. Lord Sora and Lord Esdeath are the truly young and promising ones. The empire is fortunate to have talents like you, hahaha…"
Although he knew Sora was spouting nonsense, the minister felt exceptionally comfortable, thinking to himself that this kid really knew how to play the game. He hadn't helped him in vain!
Hehe, now the empire has two more generals, whose strength is not inferior to that old man Budo, and they are on the same path as me. Those two disobedient kids, Najenda and Rokugou, are already useless!
Both Sora and the minister had their own schemes in mind, looking at each other with the same cunning eyes, their lips curling into knowing smiles…
Almost everyone came to congratulate Sora and Esdeath, but Najenda and Rokugou stood silently in place. They were among the few remaining members of the conscience faction. Seeing Sora and the minister together, they naturally wouldn't come forward to seek discomfort.
Najenda, who initially had a hint of disdain, now wore a complex and extremely serious expression. The strength of Sora and Esdeath had far exceeded her imagination!
Although it seemed to others that Esdeath had lost to Budo, and the subsequent battle between Sora and Budo was a draw, Najenda knew that Budo had completely lost this battle!
With just the minister alone, the country was already corrupt and in deep trouble. Now, with the appearance of these two evil and powerful individuals, was there really no hope left for this country…
…
"General Sora, General Esdeath, you previously said that these girls are rare talents cultivated for the empire. Now, let me see for myself. If what you say is true, I will reward them heavily!"
After Sora and Esdeath had familiarized themselves with the ministers, the young emperor spoke to Sora again.
Previously, competing with the guard girls to cheer for Sora and Budo, the young emperor had never felt so entertained. Now, his mood was equally good. He was also curious. Although these girls looked more beautiful than the palace maids who usually served him, were they really as powerful as General Sora claimed?
"Hehe, as Your Majesty wishes!"
"Then, please summon ten thousand imperial soldiers to test their strength!"
With a smile, Sora replied.
These guard girls were talented young women he and Esdeath had scouted from across the continent. Under their personal, they were almost capable of taking on a thousand enemies each!
Of course, those like No. 60, Kasia, who joined later, might not yet reach that level, but dealing with those superficially strong imperial soldiers, taking on dozens or even a hundred was no problem!
"What? Impossible! Just sixty people against ten thousand imperial elites?"
"Yes, yes, even if General Sora says so, it's too exaggerated!"
"They just look like pretty little girls. How could they possibly do it?"
…
The ministers exclaimed in disbelief. If it were before, they would have already cursed. Sixty delicate girls against ten thousand imperial soldiers? What a joke!!!
However, now Sora was an imperial general, and it seemed he had a good relationship with the minister. They dared not offend him with their words. Although their words were euphemistic, their tone was still full of disbelief and deep sarcasm.
Facing the doubts and denials of these ministers and officials, the guard girls smiled coldly, not arguing with them. They held their heads high, exuding an aura of immense strength and confidence.
"Um, General Sora, isn't this a bit too much?"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, even the young emperor was a bit frightened by Sora's words and asked uncertainly.
"Hehe, Your Majesty need not worry. If you don't believe it, you can test it!"
"However, once these girls start, they won't stop. If they end up injuring the imperial soldiers, please forgive them."
Sora found it amusing. Not just ten thousand, but even twenty or thirty thousand imperial soldiers would be no match for his guard girls!
Of course, to be safe, Sora didn't reveal the true strength of the girls. If they were to fight fifty or sixty thousand imperial soldiers, even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
These girls were all painstakingly found and personally trained by Sora. Each was his treasure. If even two were lost, he would truly be heartbroken.
"Since General Sora says so, then I will wait and see. Someone, immediately summon ten thousand soldiers!"
The young emperor also felt a sense of anticipation and excitement. Seeing Sora's confident expression, he no longer hesitated and called out to the guards.
Following the young emperor's command, ten thousand imperial soldiers were quickly summoned. Dressed in armor and holding steel swords, they stood neatly on the training ground, imposing and full of killing intent.
Heh, it really looked like something!
"Hehe… girls, it's your time to perform."
"Go, enjoy yourselves, don't hold back!"
With a smile, Sora said to the guard girls.
"Yes, Master!"
Kneeling on one knee, the girls responded in unison, then stood up and headed to the training ground.
…
"Hey, hey, is this a joke? The emperor actually wants us ten thousand to fight these sixty women?"
"Hahaha, such delicate girls. Don't worry, big brothers will take good care of you later!"
"I can't wait! I heard these women are the new general's guards. If I can snatch one or two, tsk tsk tsk…"
"You're dreaming! But we can take advantage of the chaos to grope them, hehehe…"
…
Looking at the sixty guard girls in uniform combat attire, with Western swords at their waists, the imperial soldiers wore expressions of mockery and disdain. Behind their silver-gray masks were lecherous smiles and endless desire.
"Sisters, it's time to have fun!"
"Leave none alive, kill!"
With cold and bloodthirsty smiles, the guard girls had no goodwill towards these imperial soldiers who, despite their lack of strength, often abused their status to oppress civilians. Since their master said they could enjoy themselves, they naturally wouldn't hold back!
At the same time, they drew the long swords from their waists, and with a single command, the girls charged towards the imperial soldiers who outnumbered them by more than a hundred times!
"Hahaha, look, they actually dare to charge at us!"
"Brothers, it's time to feast, hahaha…"
"Don't push, don't push, let me go first!"
…
The imperial soldiers let out excited and lewd laughter, completely disregarding the charging girls, still imagining how they would take advantage of them later, unaware that a group of true demons was already pouncing on them!
"Ah… it hurts! It hurts!"
"How is this possible! They're just a bunch of useless women, how can they be so strong!"
"Not good, everyone, attack! Attack quickly!"
"Ah! No…"
…
Without a hint of mercy, the girls wielded their Western-style long swords, their figures turning into afterimages, like wolves charging into a flock of sheep, piercing through the bodies of one imperial soldier after another, harvesting one life after another.
By the time these ignorant imperial soldiers came to their senses and panicked, trying to fight back, hundreds of their comrades had already fallen at the hands of the girls!
"Devils! They are all devils!"
"Ah, run! Run!"
"No, I surrender! I surrender! Ah…"
…
Outside the training ground, the young emperor and his officials were already stunned by the scene before them—a massacre, a one-sided absolute massacre! Ten thousand of the empire's elite soldiers were completely slaughtered by these 60 girls, without any ability to resist!
Even Najenda, a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, was shocked and incredulous, not only at the girls' strength but also at their ruthlessness!
Without a trace of sympathy, whether they resisted, fled, or surrendered, they were all stabbed to death or even cut into pieces by the girls! The training ground was filled with screams, blood splattering, and severed limbs, resembling a living hell!
Demons, they were truly demons wearing the skin of beautiful women!
Perhaps, if someone had intervened now, they could have stopped it and saved those poor imperial soldiers.
But everyone was deeply shocked and hadn't yet come to their senses, watching as ten thousand imperial soldiers were slaughtered one by one by those demonic girls…
