Chapter 177 Old Friends Meet Again.
Chapter 177 Old Friends Meet Again.
Time flies, and a few more days have passed.
Ye Xiao's empire is now running perfectly, and the northern region is completely unified.
at the same time.
Bang~
A gourd fell to the ground, and clear liquid flowed out of it.
"This...this really is the North!?"
A blonde girl with animal ears stared in shock at everything before her, not even noticing that her wine gourd had fallen to the ground.
This animal-eared girl is Leone.
She looked incredulously at the once icy and snowy northern land, which was now full of spring.
It has absolutely no resemblance to its former appearance.
Najenda, standing beside her, stared at the Northland in disbelief.
Even Akame's expression changed.
Once you step into the North, the inside and outside are completely two different worlds.
"Akame, Leone, let's go."
Let's go check out the nearby towns; hopefully, this king will surprise us.
"Um."
"Okay, boss."
The three walked towards a nearby village.
Meanwhile, the same thing happened on the other side.
A fat clown and a tall, very scantily clad weirdo stood on the ground.
These two are Thorn and Champu, the Wild Hound.
That's right, it's the one who killed Lan.
The two looked at the scene before them.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this doesn't look like a place where a battle took place at all. This isn't like General Esdeath's style. Shouldn't it be a river of blood?"
"Lady Thorn, do you think Lady Esdeath might betray us?"
Ji stroked his chin thoughtfully in response to Shangpu's words.
Esdeath's loyalty is undeniable, and Thorn doesn't believe she would betray her country.
"Hmph, who cares? Let's go to the capital and see what's going on. Maybe we can find something interesting."
"Lord Thorn, how about we wait a bit? Right now, I just want to play with some kids. Those adorable little angels are just too cute! So let me leave them in their childhood."
"That's fine, but the adult is mine."
"No problem, Lord Thorn, I'm not really interested in you anyway."
As they talked, the two headed toward the nearest village.
As the two left, a dark shadow moved toward the kingdom, and the same thing happened to Najenda.
The Northern Royal Palace.
"I didn't expect the boss of the Night Raid to come in person, along with the Four Demon Rakshasa and the Wild Hounds."
Ye Xiao collected the intelligence and tapped his hand on the table.
Looking at the information above.
I have no fondness for the Rakshasa Four Demons and the Wild Hounds.
One gets pleasure from killing, while the other enjoys killing children.
Both of them are the worst of the worst.
Since you're here, why not stay?
"Shadow, deliver one of the two documents to Esdeath."
As soon as he finished speaking, a member of the Shadow Guard appeared.
He accepted it respectfully and then burrowed into the ground, moving towards Esdeath's location.
Next up is Lan.
However, if Lan is alone, it's no more than two people.
In this case.
"Numa".
"king!"
Numa appeared in front of Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao continued, "Later, when you and Lan go on the mission together, give him this information."
"clear."
Having received the order, Numa disappeared from his spot and headed towards Lan's location.
Ye Xiao looked at the map, a smile playing on his lips.
Since I'm here, I should at least have a legitimate reason for coming.
In a few days, we'll head south to capture the dragon!
... ... ... ...
In the northern villages, Leone was immediately drawn to the lively scene upon entering.
The villagers' faces were beaming with happiness, and the shops lining both sides of the street were overflowing with goods. Their smiles were simply incredible.
Najenda and Akame carefully observed everything around them.
Upon seeing the strangers arrive, the villagers greeted them.
"Welcome to Beiling Village. I am the village chief."
At this moment, an old man walked over; he was the village chief.
The village chief continued, "Gentlemen, you must be from beyond the North."
"Yes, village chief."
Najenda picked up the conversation and then asked, "I remember the North wasn't like this before."
In response to Najeta's question, the village chief smiled proudly.
"The North used to be extremely cold, and the nobles were also tyrannical and domineering, making everyone suffer terribly."
"But when the new king came to power, things got better. He solved the problem of the snowy weather and confiscated the property of all the nobles and landowners."
Now the land is fertile, and we've been taught many planting and livestock raising methods. Everyone has work to do and food to eat; life is getting better and better.
Hearing the light in the old man's eyes, Najenda suddenly wanted to meet this king.
She also knew about the revolutionary army's situation.
It's simply a matter of replacing the original, notorious nobles with them.
But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
Who knows if they'll end up looking like ministers?
Just then, a child ran over, grabbed the village chief's hand, and said, "Grandpa, I want to go to school!"
The village chief patted the children's heads and explained with a smile, "Lord Ye Xiao also established a school so that all the children can learn knowledge."
Najenda and Leone exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
After chatting for a while, the group said goodbye to the old village chief.
"Alright, sir, then we'll just wander around here."
Najeta and the others then began to wander around.
After a while, Najenda felt that someone was watching her, whether it was her imagination or not.
She then quickly turned around.
I met someone I shouldn't have met.
"Esdeath!"
"Najeta, it's been a long time."
Akame and Leone instantly appeared in front of Najenda, blocking Esdeath's path.
Akame drew her sword, and at that moment, a familiar voice came from her.
"It's been a long time, sister."
"Black...black eyes!"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"run!"
"Run with the kids!!"
A fire was raging in a village.
It turns out that those two bastards, Thorn and Champu, have already started making their move.
But they were held back by the undead soldiers.
The cries of children mingled with the voices of villagers.
After dealing with the undead in front of me.
Champ chased after the children excitedly, a twisted smile on his face, while Thorn watched from the side, occasionally letting out a strange laugh.
"Children, Lord Champud loves you the most."
"Don't cry, Shangpu won't let you have the troubles of growing up."
Thorn was fighting the undead soldiers all by himself.
"Hahaha, this is interesting! So interesting!!"
"The battle was awesome!!"
At that moment, a winged figure rushed toward Champu.
"Stop it right now!!!"
As he spoke, he punched Shangpu in the face.
Shangpu retreated repeatedly, then looked at Lan flying in the air.
Ran has a pair of pure white wings on his back, which are the Imperial Arms given to him by his lover - the Soaring Thousand Miles "Mostima".
Upon seeing who it was, Shangpu looked at Lan with displeasure.
This guy is actually interfering with my plans; he's courting death.
