Chapter 227 Meeting His Majesty
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At night, in the Emerald Palace standing on the central high ground of the imperial capital, deafening thunder mixed with flashes of lightning opened the prelude to a new chapter in the empire.

In the northern suburbs outside the imperial capital, about ten kilometers deep in the dense forests of the mountains, under a cliff, a secret stronghold built along the cliff wall stands here.

"How is it? Is everyone here?" Li De, who was teleported here from outside the stronghold, asked Tornado and Fubuki who had been monitoring this place for three days.

"The seven members of the night attack team, plus a passionate young man who was brought here, are all gathered in the conference room." Tornado nodded.

"Fubuki, you have been staring at me since just now. Is there anything wrong with me?" Li De couldn't help but ask Fubuki.

"I just think that the master who has become smaller is so cute. I didn't expect that the country is now controlled by a little emperor. No wonder the people are living in such misery." Fubuki hugged Li De and kissed Li De on the cheek.

After all, the little emperor's face gave Fubuki an indescribable sense of freshness.

In fact, the little emperor in the world of Killer Zelda has a handsome face that is quite popular among women. After Li De became like this, not to mention Fubuki, other girls also liked him very much.

"Okay." Li De was speechless at the moment as he gently pushed away the face that was sticking to Chuixue.

Because the same thing has happened more than a dozen times, and Claire was the first to take action.

"Master, let me carry you in!" Fubuki still didn't give up at this moment.

"Fubuki! Can't you see that the master is in trouble? By the way, master, where are the others? Why are only Xiaolan and Aoko here?" Tornado on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so she changed the subject.

Although she also wanted to hug Li De, after handing her contract to her sister, Fubuki's priority in her heart became infinitely higher.

Although Longjuan knew very well that this was due to the contract, she did not ask Li De to change the ownership of the contract.

After all, apart from Li De, Fubuki is the most important to her, so Tornado is willing to use everything she has to protect Fubuki.

"Tornado, everyone else is at the palace." Seeing that he couldn't push Fubuki's face away, Li De said helplessly.

"Speaking of which General Budd did Delta go to assassinate tonight? Is that General Budd very powerful? Does it require so many people to be present?" Tornado asked curiously.

"Bud is just an ordinary person who got a magic item. How can he be that powerful? This world is not comparable to the world you and Fubuki were born in. There are no invincible strong people like Saitama.

Bud's own strength can at best be on par with the sexy prisoner, that's all. Claire and the others gathered in the palace just to identify the available personnel through the riot. "Li De shook his head lightly.

After all, the Jade Palace was attacked, and the guards and maids who had been staying in the palace would definitely react.

If someone really has a certain background or a special purpose, they will most likely take advantage of the chaos to pass information to the outside world.

That's why Claire and the others took this opportunity to screen the internal staff.

Not only are there people who have been selected as ministers, but also spies planted in the Jade Palace by other nobles.

The women can take advantage of this riot to catch them all in one fell swoop, and the remaining people will be temporarily available.

However, the Emerald Palace covers a large area and has countless people, so Claire and other talents were all hidden in it. After all, there were too few people to handle it.

In fact, if it weren't for the sake of giving Li De a good reputation, Mao Lilan and Nakamori Aoko would also have to join this secret cleanup mission.

"So that's how it is. But it's good this way. This time I can have the master all to myself." After saying that, Fubuki picked up Li De and flew into the conference room in the night attack base.

"I can't tell you the time when the action will be taken for the time being, but those are all strategies brewing for victory. When the time comes, this country will be completely changed!" When Najeshitan persuaded Tatsumi to this point, the crisp footsteps suddenly rang in the ears of all the night raid members in the conference room.

And the faces of the people who heard the voice changed instantly!

"How is this possible?!" The one who found it the hardest to accept was Labock. After all, the barrier he set up with silk threads had no reaction at all.

"Oh no!" Maine's voice rang out. Because of the meeting, she didn't carry her imperial weapon with her and it was still in the room.

In fact, it was not just her. Akame and Hill also did not have their imperial tools with them. This meant that the combat effectiveness of the three of them was greatly reduced due to the lack of imperial tools.

"Excuse me!" Along with a crisp voice, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and five figures walked in one after another.

"Hey, Najeshitan, can you tell me what you mean when you say that this country will be completely changed?" Li De, who was in the center, asked Najeshitan, who was sitting in the middle of the conference room.

"How is this possible!" This time it was the turn of Najeshitan, who had been relatively calm, to show an expression of disbelief.

After all, as a general as famous as Esdeath, she had met the little emperor.

It was precisely because of the audience that Najeshita's eyes were filled with disbelief. After all, she could never have imagined that the current ruler of the empire would appear here, in front of her.

"Najshitan, based on your rudeness at this moment, can I judge that you no longer consider yourself a citizen of the empire after your defection?" Li De did not give the night attack team too much time to react and questioned Najshitan directly.

"I didn't. It's just that..." Najeshitan's face showed a rare panic.

Although she had already made up her mind to betray the empire, the fundamental reason was that Minister Ernest had brought the empire into chaos.

However, the betrayal in her heart was not to abandon this land, but to use her own methods to make this land peaceful and prosperous again.

"Oh, it seems that you are not planning to consider yourself as an outsider yet. Then even if you are not a subject, as a citizen of the empire, what should you do when you see me now?" Li De said as he ignored the vigilance of the night attack team members and continued to walk towards Najeshitan.

Feeling the pressure coming towards her, if Najeshitan had not met the emperor in person, seen the little emperor with her own eyes, and heard his voice, she would not have believed that the little emperor in front of her was really him.

Because the impression gap was so huge, the little emperor I saw before was completely a puppet controlled by his ministers.

At this moment, the little emperor who was walking towards him exuded an aura that was so shocking that people dared not even look at him directly.

But for Najeshitan, this is the aura that an emperor should have. If the little emperor she met in the Jade Palace had this aura, why would she defect?

It is because there is no hope that one has to defect.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" He quickly stood up from the chair and moved aside. After Li De was hugged by Fubuki and sat down again, he knelt on one knee and said.

"Your Majesty." The members of the night attack team had vaguely realized the truth from Li De's self-introduction, but the newbie Tatsumi cried out in surprise.

"You rude people! The leader has already knelt down, and you still dare to stand? Kneel down!" The next second, as Tornado spoke, everyone present felt an extremely heavy pressure coming from them.

dong dong dong dong!

After a dull sound, all members of the Night Attack Team and Tatsumi who was already lying down all looked at Tornado, which was emitting green light, with horror in their eyes.

"Okay, Tornado, ignorance is not a crime. I'm not that stingy." Li De waved his hand and said.

"Since Your Majesty has spoken, then you will get the benefit. But Your Majesty, such a rude person does not deserve your mercy and forgiveness." Tornado added indignantly while retracting his power.

"It's not that exaggerated, Tornado. Although I represent the empire, the empire is indeed in a mess right now because of the ministers. It's normal for some people to feel resentful. In fact, if it weren't for you, I would still be a puppet in the Jade Palace.

Even my situation is like this, it is unrealistic to expect the people of the empire to have a better situation. However, I still have one thing to say, that is, although the royal family is indeed at fault for the ministers' misfortune in bringing chaos to the empire, I am not at fault.

Because it was my father who was wrong. If he hadn't trusted that fat pig Ernest, he wouldn't have died young, and my mother would have been insulted to death by the ministers. If I hadn't played dumb and let him manipulate me, I would have been imprisoned long ago.

Either that fat pig found a substitute for me, or I was locked up until my body matured due to illness, and then forced to marry a pre-arranged queen, and died of illness after she gave birth to the new heir to the empire.

If it weren't for that fat pig wanting to control the Supreme Emperor's weapon, I wouldn't even have the chance to leave my bloodline. So Najeshitan, do you still have such a big grudge against me now?" Li De asked Najeshitan, who was kneeling on one knee, while sitting in Fubuki's arms.

"I dare not! It's all Minister Ernest's fault. He deserves to die!" Najeshitan said hurriedly after hearing this.

The fingernails of her intact left hand had already been embedded in the palm without her noticing.

"So His Majesty the Emperor is also having such a hard time! The minister really deserves to die!" Tatsumi was gritting his teeth in hatred at this moment.

Not only him, but almost all the members of the night attack team present had the same reaction.

As for suspecting that the little emperor was lying or that the little emperor was fake, that was impossible.

Others may not know, but she knows that the messenger who controls the transformation imperial weapon is in the Revolutionary Army. Before returning to the base, she had met Chelsea, so the little emperor in front of her could not be Chelsea in disguise.

Because of this, Najeshitan had no doubts at all, but was rather flattered.

After all, the young emperor came to her in person. Not only was he magnanimous and did not pursue her crime of treason, he also complained to her and told her some secrets that she did not know.

In the past, she would never have dared to imagine receiving such treatment.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what the situation is at the Emerald Palace? Does Ernest know that you have left the imperial capital?" After being shocked, Najeshitan immediately realized that what she should pay most attention to at the moment is not His Majesty's previous situation, but what the current situation is like.

After all, the emperor has fled to the deep mountains and old forests, so the imperial capital must be in turmoil.

"Don't worry too much. The guards I found are extremely powerful. The battle in the Emerald Palace should still be going on. After tonight, Ernest will be captured and Bud will die." Li De said lightly.

"Your Majesty, even General Budd?" Najeshitan asked in disbelief.

"How is that possible? But his not betraying is more abominable than betraying. The Emerald Palace he guarded was infiltrated by Ernest and became a plug. Otherwise, how could my father be killed by Ernest's conspiracy, how could my mother be humiliated to death, and how could I be a puppet for so long.

All this was caused by that idiot's inaction. Not only did he not feel that I was always under threat from that fat pig, but he did not move at all because of my helpless orders. Doesn't he understand the situation?

If he had taken the initiative, the empire would not have become what it is now. He even ignored the fat pig's stay in the Jade Palace. Even if I ordered him to do so, he could find a reason to do it. After all, no foreign minister has stayed in the palace for thousands of years. If he is so stupid, what's the point of keeping him here if he doesn't just die. "

After hearing Li De's angry remarks, Najeshitan looked confused for a moment.

Everyone knows that General Bud is loyal to the empire.

It was because of Bud's presence that she didn't dare to lead the night attack team to attack the Emerald Palace.

Even though he knew that Ernest was in the Emerald Palace, he did not dare to go and assassinate him.

The reason for this is that General Budd, one of the two strongest men in the empire, is famous far and wide.

So at this moment, Najeshitan could actually understand the anger expressed by Li De.

After all, the emperor was in crisis, and the strongest, closest guard who should have offered a helping hand was completely unaware of the danger to his monarch and allowed the situation to develop in the direction of collapse. Who wouldn't go crazy?

"Your Majesty, does Ernest keep such close watch on you?" Najeshitan asked after thinking for a moment.

"You want to ask why I didn't speak during the court session." Li De looked at Najeshitan and asked.

"I dare not, but if Your Majesty asks General Bud for help, he will definitely..." Najeshitan had just said this when Li De took over the conversation.

"He will die. He will definitely die if Bud makes a move! There is no doubt about that. Because the fat pig Ernest is wearing the imperial jewel headdress [Ireston] that can destroy imperial equipment, which means that Ernest has been on guard against Bud from the beginning.

I don't care whether Bud knows about the existence of [Ireston] or not, but I know that he has no chance of being rescued, because Ernest is right next to me, and he has practiced in the Royal Fist Temple.

So don't look at his fatness, but he has always maintained a strong body. At that distance, I have no chance to dodge. So once I ask for help, I will be caught and become a hostage. When Bud's imperial tool is destroyed, everything will be over. "Li De certainly knew where the flaws in his words were, so he knew how to explain it.
