Chapter 166 162. Hunter, Night Attack



Childhood experiences have a huge impact on people. In order to prevent Esdeath from being as extreme as in the original book, when Xiaohao gained a foothold in the military, he began to arrange for her to withdraw from the front line.

Esdeath's admiration for her brother, the high-ranking officials' control over the military strength, and the threat posed by the trumpet to the empire...

Under the influence of various factors, this order was approved by the young emperor at an astonishing speed. Esdeath, the young female general of the empire who had long been renowned, also resigned from her military power overnight and began to take up a civil service position after returning to the capital.

She can be cold and brutal to others, but for the sake of her trumpet, Esdeath is willing to suppress her arrogance and become a gentle lady.

People who practice cultivation don’t care about other people’s opinions. Besides, after so many years, they have long regarded each other as their closest family members.

In fact, after receiving the news that the emperor was returning to the capital to report on his work, Xiaohao had already made preparations to marry Esdeath. However, when he saw that she was dressed in armor again, Xiaohao's originally good mood suddenly changed several times.

In order to ease the anger in Esdeath's heart, he asked himself if he had done his best. Because of the memory palace, Xiaohao even remembered the emperor's solemn promise.

However, it was just a mere night raid, but it had already scared the top leaders so much that Esdeath was forced to come out of retirement and establish the Hunter Organization in order to use imperial weapons to fight against imperial weapons.

It has to be said that the First Emperor, who established the Millennium Empire, was indeed far-sighted enough, and his achievements in civil and military affairs were not even inferior to those of Emperor Taizu Gaoyang.

It's just a pity that the current empire has not produced a ruler like Emperor Qi Ling who can revive the country. This shows the ruthlessness of time and fate.

The displeasure on Xiaohao's face naturally could not be hidden from Esdeath, who was with him day and night. However, considering his future, she had to comfort him in a gentle voice. At the very least, she could not slap the emperor in the face as soon as he entered the city.

Now that the biography of Xiaohao's personal army is out there, if he is charged with the crime of regicide, I am afraid that all his efforts in the first half of his life will be wasted.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the trumpet, Esdeath's three views were indeed re-established, and her understanding of the core idea of ​​the twenty-four characters was no less than that of later generations.

However, it is regrettable that throughout the entire empire, even including the so-called revolutionary army, she is the only one who has such awareness.

People who practice cultivation do not take pleasure in material things, but if such a filthy empire continues to exist, it will eventually become a bit of an eyesore.

In order to practice the way in his heart, he has already crushed the ninja world, so it doesn't matter if there is one more empire.

With Xiaohao's experience, he would naturally not make things difficult for Esdeath. After suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiaohao followed Esdeath into the palace.

Greetings, rewards, banquets.

If training puppets can be considered a skill, then the minister can definitely be said to be ingenious.

Although Xiaohao's trip was simply to Beijing to report on his work, now that war is about to break out, I believe it won't be long before he will be sent to the border to suppress the local rebel forces.

After all, he is a representative of the imperial military. During the brief stay on the trumpet, he will not give up on winning over the ministers.

Treasures, fine wine, and delicious food. If Esdeath had not warned him in advance, I believe the minister would never be stingy with beautiful women.

Feudal life is inherently depraved, especially when the empire was about to decline, the debauchery and excess in it were beyond the reach of outsiders.

As a qualified rolling meat, in order to reassure the minister, Xiaohao did not show his hostility on the surface, and more importantly, if he did not act so recklessly, how could he get in touch with the night raid? More precisely, how could he get in touch with those imperial tools?

About a thousand years ago, in order to maintain long-term rule, the founding emperor of the empire used unimaginable financial resources and power to summon the world's top craftsmen. Using legendary super-dangerous species as materials, rare metals such as Orichalcum and a large number of lost secret techniques, he developed forty-eight unreplicable weapons and called them "Imperial Equipment".

Apparently there is no such thing as magic in the world of Zhan Tong, there is only blood and blades!

But this world contains all kinds of dangerous creatures, and what gives them their abilities is the material from the legendary super-dangerous species.

To put it another way, Teigu are like the enchanted weapons in fantasy novels, but the only difference between the two is that enchanted weapons are imbued with magic, while Teigu are imbued with the terrifying abilities of legendary super-dangerous species.

Forty-eight imperial tools are equivalent to forty-eight soldier-type monsters, and there are many imperial tools that can fight against thousands of enemies with one person, which is as powerful as a nuclear bomb! Although the trumpet has a lot of resources, after all, he has practiced for a short time and the amount of innate Qi is insufficient. In terms of combat power alone, he is only comparable to Esdeath without the imperial tools.

The hunters under Esdeath's command, the three beast warriors under Xiaohao, the ghost-haunted Brand, and the 100,000 border troops, roughly speaking, they have already mastered 11 imperial weapons.

This number is not small, but compared with the upper limit of 48 pieces, the power possessed by the trumpet at this time seems to be dwarfed.

Some imperial weapons have too many variables. In order to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent plans, he must suppress these unstable factors as much as possible.

Judging from the current situation, apart from his own forces, the force that controls the most imperial instruments should be the Night Raid supported by the Revolutionary Army, and this is also the reason why Xiaohao is willing to use himself as bait.

As for whether the other party is willing to take the bait, this is the only thing that Xiaohao has never doubted.

The youngest and most capable senior general in the empire. Once the rebels decide to raise the flag of rebellion, the empire will definitely send a small number of generals to suppress them.

No matter how you look at it, both sides are in relative positions. In such a situation, even if Xiaohao did not collude with the ministers and did not bully the local people, the blade of the night attack would not let him go.

Although according to the plot, the protagonists are undoubtedly the ones who attack at night, but if you think about it a little, you can actually see the other party's embarrassing situation.

In short, they are nothing more than tools for the revolutionary army to do dirty work. When the new regime is replaced by the old regime, a bloody purge will undoubtedly await them.

Whether from a political or subjective point of view, in order to cover up its own crimes and political scandals, the new regime must ensure its own sanctity. Therefore, the fate of the night attack was doomed from the beginning.

It's just that an organization that can't even tolerate a small assassin organization, in order to overthrow the so-called tyranny, is willing to collude with alien races, and even use the country as a bargaining chip to sign a humiliating contract, is their coming to power really the right thing to do? The trumpet with the memory of the flower-growing family also smiled and said nothing, and if he guessed correctly, the night raid had already bared their fangs.

Looking at the dancers hanging around in the venue, this was the first time Xiaohao saw someone with a better figure than Esdeath.
