As she fantasized about this, Linglu's face showed an expectant expression.
For a masochist, there is no better reward.
"We can wait until we see our master and ask him to make a decision. Whether he kills us or uses us as a bargaining chip, it will be in time."
Under the silent gazes of her companions, Linglu composed herself and made this resolute statement.
"It's a pity we can't immediately release their souls," Zhu Tian sighed.
Despite the contract, some of my little hobbies haven't changed.
Upon arriving at the agreed location, the three demons confiscated the Imperial Arms of the three beast warriors and bound them to one side.
As executioners who were once ministers, their expertise in punishment and restraint was unique.
Even the Three Beast Warriors could not break free and escape.
Moreover, the horse head injected them with a drug powerful enough to render dangerous species unconscious, and they wouldn't wake up for a while.
"You've done a good job lately."
When the sun was high in the sky, Yalin arrived at the place, and a slight chill surrounded him, which helped him resist the heat.
Chelsea, meanwhile, nestled lazily in Yalin's arms. With free air conditioning available, she didn't want to move at all.
"Owner!"
The three Rakshasa demons knelt to greet Yalin, their eyes filled with loyalty.
For them now, the most important meaning of life is to fight for Yalin.
Yalin ignored the three demons of Rakshasa and instead looked at the three beast warriors one by one.
Finally, he stared at Niu, his eyes narrowing slightly.
This guy enjoys peeling women's faces, and he did the same to Spya, the daughter of Jolly, a former minister of the Empire.
Thinking of that blonde, blue-eyed girl, Yalin's gaze lingered on Niu's face for a moment.
The three demons dared not disturb Yalin and continued to kneel on the spot.
Chelsea didn't move either; she had a very accurate grasp of emotions and noticed that Yalin was in a bad mood.
To avoid being caught in the crossfire, she decided to behave herself for a while.
A moment later, Yalin looked away, his pupils showing no fluctuation whatsoever.
"You should just kill the three beastmen; that would lessen their suffering."
The three demons shuddered upon hearing this, especially Linglu, who realized that her unauthorized actions did not please Yalin and felt extremely regretful.
"Linglu, peel off Niu's face completely." Yalin's voice was extremely cold, making Chelsea shudder.
"Zhu Tian, cut Isidas in half at the waist. Ma Tou, cut off Liva's head."
"Oh, and make sure they're sober before the execution. Afterwards, they come to the city to report to me."
Yalin announced the manner of the three beast warriors' deaths in an instant, without even considering signing a contract.
Even when being chased by scum like the Four Demon Rakshasa, he did not harbor such great killing intent, but instead let them act as his dogs.
Not to mention that Esdeath will not let the matter rest after killing the three beast warriors, and she can no longer lure them with benefits, making it more difficult to subdue them.
There's a high probability that a life-or-death battle will ensue, a fight to the death.
Ke Yalin has always pursued a state of clarity of thought.
Although Esdeath is an extremely sharp blade and a rare SSR, Arlin will not make an exception for her.
No matter who comes, it won't matter who he wants to kill.
"Yes, Master!" the three Rakshasa demons replied obediently.
The master's orders are above all else.
Yalin did not respond and turned away from the mountain that was about to become bloody.
When he returned to the inn in the city, Yalin made himself a cup of tea to calm his turbulent emotions and revealed his usual peaceful smile.
Chelsea then transformed back into human form and peered at Yalin from behind.
She never imagined that this fugitive prince would have such an undignified moment.
Could it be that the Three Beast Warriors have a deep-seated grudge against him?
"Don't overthink it," Yalin said calmly. "I'm just repaying a debt of gratitude to a father and daughter."
When he first fled the capital and was being hunted down with nowhere to go, it was the reclusive former minister Jolly who secretly lent a helping hand and took him in for a while, helping him through the most difficult time.
However, the ministers' investigation became increasingly rigorous, and there was a risk that their hiding place would be exposed.
In order not to burden the father and daughter, Spia, who considered herself to be her older sister, lured away the pursuers and continued her escape through her tearful eyes.
Yalin rarely received favors from others, which was an indelible part of his early life.
Therefore, the way he gave them to die was quite fitting for the Three Beasts.
As for Esdeath, if she remains stubborn, Arlin wouldn't mind breaking this sword himself.
......
After completely dealing with Jolock's problem, Night Raid and the three Rakshasa demons came to Yalin, sizing each other up and being wary of each other.
The Rakshasa Four Demons were also members of the Empire's assassination squad before, and even the horse-headed one's father, Gozchi, was Akame's adoptive father and the original owner of the demon sword Murasame.
It was Akame who personally killed him. The two were sworn enemies.
Even so, Akame remained calmly by Yarin's side, showing no sign of tension.
Horse Head had no intention of seeking revenge; whatever her thoughts were, Yalin was her priority at this moment.
"We are now heading to the capital. Everyone, please be prepared."
Yalin suppressed the restless impulses of both sides.
When he arrives in the capital, there will surely be rivers of blood. It would be better to vent this energy on the enemy.
“For a bright future!” Najendan responded immediately.
He then misappropriated the Revolutionary Army's elite, dangerous aerial stingray for personal use, using it as a means of transportation.
The group boarded the aerial ray and headed towards the capital.
Half a day later, as he gazed at Esdeath riding a wyvern in the sky ahead, Arlin glanced at Najenda, whose face was full of embarrassment.
You want this guy to lead the way to the big boss, right?
But it doesn't matter, at worst we can stage a showdown between the strongest in the past and the strongest now.
Esdeath, you are the challenger.
Esdeath gazed at Najenda on the back of the manta ray in the sky, a look of surprise on her face.
When this former colleague betrayed the empire and joined the revolutionary army, she managed to escape with her right eye and right hand crippled. Unexpectedly, she ran into him again now.
This serendipitous encounter brought her joy.
This time, she wouldn't let her former friend escape.
After scanning the crew on the aerial ray, Esdeath's expression suddenly darkened, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
The minister's three demonic foes have actually colluded with the revolutionary army; wouldn't her subordinates be walking into the lion's den this time?
Damn it! The three beastmen have stepped into the enemy's trap.
In an instant, ice spikes condensed around the Ice Queen, aiming at the three Rakshasa demons.
If Esdeath were to die in a direct battle, she would be saddened, but she could only lament that the three Beast Warriors were too weak to be killed.
It is only natural that the weak are eliminated.
Esdeath felt annoyed and resentful towards her subordinates for this sudden betrayal and ambush among comrades.
What's wrong with this minister? How could he let his trump card defect? He's really getting worse as he gets older.
Since that's the case, then let her destroy the three Rakshasa demons along with the revolutionary army.
"Esdeath's eyes are terrifying." Linglu's voice trembled, but her pupils were full of excitement.
This sadistic general was second only to her master, Yalin, in terms of her own power.
Zhu Tian and Ma Tou didn't have her leisure and elegance. After being targeted by Esdeath, even the two of them felt a chill.
Their bodies instinctively warned them that the Ice Queen before them was extremely dangerous and beyond their capabilities.
Even so, they still took the initiative to protect Yalin.
"Get out of the way, don't make things worse." Yalin told the two to get lost without any politeness, so as not to block his view.
Night Raid and the others also looked solemn. This strongest man in the empire was renowned and was one of the biggest obstacles to their overthrow of the empire.
Even knowing that Yalin's strength was unfathomable, she still subconsciously tensed up at this moment.
It wasn't until Yalin snapped his fingers that everyone came to their senses.
“Leave Esdeath to me. You all continue toward the Imperial Capital according to plan.”
Yalin said calmly that with the full Night Raid lineup plus the three Rakshasa demons, they could put up a fight against Esdeath.
Even if we can't beat them, as long as they don't use the secret technique Makopotmo, we can still stall for a while, not to mention that Esdeath probably hasn't mastered it yet at this point.
If Esdeath is careless and gets hit by Akame's cursed sword, she might lose her life.
But after this battle, it's likely that very few will survive.
He finally found a few capable people, and he can't afford to sacrifice them like this.
Moreover, since Yalin's strength improved, he has never fought a serious battle, not even against the entire Night Raid.
Esdeath should be able to give him his fill.
“...Yes!” Najenda’s eyes showed some worry, but she still agreed.
Even if Yalin is a monster of the same level, what if we fail when facing Esdeath? It would be better to gang up on her and reduce the risk to zero.
Even if it seems to lack martial ethics, it is the best method.
