Chapter 955 The Plot Twisted 180 Degrees

The news brought back by the empire's spies from the distant front swept through the heart of the empire like a storm.

This news was not ordinary. It indicated that the peace of the empire would be broken and the situation on the continent would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Sure enough, when this intelligence was presented to the emperor and Minister Ornest, the entire palace seemed to fall into silence.

The handwriting on the scroll was clear and cold, like the biting winter wind.

It was written on it: "General Esdeath, the strongest spear of the empire and one of the two pillars of the empire, was defeated in the battle with Noxus and has been captured by the king of Noxus. At the same time, the empire's army was petrified by an unknown force and could not move."

In the magnificent palace, the emperor and Minister Ornest were shocked.

They could never have imagined that General Esdeath, one of the two pillars of the empire and known as the "strongest spear of the empire", would be defeated by Noxus and even captured by it.

Minister Ernest was even more shocked than the emperor.

Minister Ernest was stunned and couldn't even eat his favorite meat.

He didn't like women, so he only had one son, Sheila, and he liked meat the most, all kinds of meat.

This was because he had been used to a hard life before, and he didn't even have meat to eat, so now he ate meat to make up for it in revenge.

He had always had high expectations and trust in General Esdeath, and believed that she was an indispensable pillar of the empire.

He recalled General Esdeath's brilliant achievements, especially her quick end to the rebellion of the northern ethnic groups not long ago, which won precious opportunities and time for the empire.

You know, before the war, the people of the empire judged that it would take at least a year to solve the problem of the northern ethnic groups anyway.

At that moment, his confidence in General Esdeath reached its peak, and he felt that no one would be the opponent of this woman.

He even ate several times more meat, and his weight increased again.

But he didn't expect that Noxus defeated Esdeath so quickly. It was almost not long after Esdeath's army moved from the north to the south that the victory was decided?

Minister Ernest suspected that Noxus had the technology and ability to make treasures, and it was very likely that they had made some powerful treasures to defeat Esdeath.

The Empire also had such a treasure, so Minister Ernest guessed that this aspect was the most likely.

The strongest treasure was under the control of Minister Ernest, and there was also a treasure that could destroy other treasures once a day. This was why Minister Ernest claimed that he could control Esdeath and was not afraid of Esdeath.

And the treasure was something that had just been born not long ago. Minister Ernest sent the Empire's assassin organization and intelligence spies but failed to obtain much information about the treasure.

So even if Noxus really had the strongest treasure or the supreme treasure, Minister Ernest was not aware of it.

It was just a pity that General Esdeath ran into it and then died.

After all, in his opinion, only the mysterious and powerful power of the treasure could explain General Esdeath's failure.

However, Minister Ernest was not the kind of person who would be easily defeated.

Instead of dwelling on self-blame and regret, he began to think about how to save the situation.

First, he realized the importance of General Esdeath to the Empire.

She was not only the strongest warrior of the Empire, but also the symbol and pride of the Empire.

Once she was lost, the morale of the Empire would be severely hit, and the road ahead would be full of uncertainty and risk. Therefore, he had to do everything he could to redeem her.

So, he immediately ordered to contact Noxus and try to redeem General Esdeath through negotiation or ransom.

He knew that this was an extremely difficult task, but he also understood that this was the only feasible way at present.

He sent his most capable envoy to Noxus to convey his wishes.

However, his proposal was flatly rejected by Noxus.

The King of Noxus was not shaken by the ransom offered by the Empire. They understood the value of General Esdeath and that releasing her back to the enemy would be a huge threat to their country.

This result was not unexpected by Minister Ernest.

He had long expected that Noxus would not let her go easily, but he still had the mentality of giving it a try.

After all, what if Noxus is short of money?

What if they are willing to give up long-term considerations for the sake of immediate benefits?

However, it turned out that his idea was too naive.

Noxus's currency at this time has already been guaranteed by credibility.

They have just defeated the Empire, and the country's strength has been greatly improved.

A country that continues to win will naturally gain people's recognition and trust in its currency. And the Empire's currency has lost its former glory and credibility after the defeat of General Esdeath.

Although Minister Ernest was disappointed with this result, he did not give up.

He knew that the failure of the negotiations did not mean that everything was over.

On the contrary, it was just the beginning, and he had to find other ways to solve the problem.

So he began to strengthen the monitoring and crackdown on Noxus.

He ordered more assassins and spies to go to Noxus to collect intelligence and carry out assassination missions.

He hoped to weaken Noxus's strength in this way and create more opportunities to rescue General Esdeath.

At the same time, he also began to strengthen the training and preparation of the army in the country.

He knew that in the face of the threat of Noxus, the empire must maintain a strong combat effectiveness to cope with various challenges.

Therefore, he ordered to increase the training time and intensity of the army and improve the combat skills and quality of the soldiers.

Then Minister Ernest ordered to gather all the imperial utilitarians of the empire to rescue General Esdeath!

Now the southern part of the empire has completely fallen and become the territory of Noxus. If it is not stopped, the empire will be in danger.

The imperial utilitarians in the original plot were gathered because of the killer organization Night Raid.

Now, it is to rescue General Esdeath.

It can only be said that because of Chang Wei, the plot has been distorted to an unknown degree.

The revolutionary army was also very confused. They were facing a great enemy to Esdeath. They felt that to deal with Esdeath, at least Akame plus ten imperial utilitarians and hundreds of thousands of troops were needed.

The original plot proves that this statement is wrong. Esdeath can fight all the imperial tool users alone. If all 48 imperial tool users came, they would probably die. Hundreds of thousands of troops were killed instantly by Esdeath.
