Within the Imperial Capital, Undead became a hot topic once again.
Although ordinary people may not know much, as long as they had a little power, they basically knew that [Undead] sneaked into the palace to assassinate the strongest person in the empire, Esdeath, and after a fierce battle for half a minute, there was no winner and defeat, and he calmly retreated.
After all, such a huge commotion in the palace couldn't be hidden from the eyes of those who were observant.
Although it was only half a minute and the outcome wasn't decided, Undead's opponent was the strongest Esders of the Empire. Moreover, Undead was able to escape right under the nose of Esders, which proved his ability.
Because of this, [Undead]'s reputation suddenly skyrocketed. Their notoriety in the Imperial Capital even surpassed the low-key night raid during this period of time.
It was said that even Grand General Bude was furious because of this. He believed that Undead had the potential to threaten the Emperor and ordered the Empire's departments to capture Undead.
However, Undead came and went without a trace, so there was no way to investigate him. This gave many experts a headache.
Ryuga didn't care about the shock of the Empire's higher-ups.
Right now, he was in the Imperial Capital's garrison and was focused on his own matters.
"Selliu, this is the evidence of General Ligu's evil deeds that I've found during this period of time."
Ryuga handed a document to Selliu and said with a serious expression, "As a general of the Empire, Ligu established a deep-rooted relationship with the Empire's red-light district. He used his influence to protect the red-light district and forced women into prostitution countless times. The brothels in the red-light district collected the most beautiful women and gave them to Ligu to play with. In the end, most of them were tortured to death by him."
"As a soldier of the Empire, he actually knowingly broke the law?"
Selliu browsed through the information in his hand and had the same gloomy expression as when he encountered the night raid. "It seems like the evidence is conclusive. I didn't expect there to be such a parasite in the Empire!"
"This is the search warrant I applied for from the higher-ups. Immediately lead a team to General Ligu's residence to investigate the truth."
Ryuga handed a search warrant to Selliu. "Just like before, I'll block the pressure from the higher-ups. I'll leave the search and arrest to you."
"Yes, I won't let you down!"
Sai Liu solemnly saluted Ryuga. Then, she picked up Xiaoke and rushed out of the office. She led the team to General Ligu's residence.
Ryuga sat on the chair in her office and watched Sai Liu leave. Her gaze turned calm.
"I can't be too obvious when dealing with an imperial general," Ryuga muttered to herself.
Although the Empire was in dire straits, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The strength of the domestic army was still incomparably strong, and there were no signs of it collapsing anytime soon.
Thus, in order to weaken the Empire's military strength as much as possible, Ryuga had been collecting dirt on the Empire's generals through the White Falcons. Then, he used the dirt to topple these generals.
He didn't care about the civil officials, but he had to get rid of the people who led the army to war.
Generally speaking, it was impossible for a captain of the imperial guard to have the authority to investigate the generals. However, it was different when Ryuga controlled the ministers.
As long as Oneste waved his hand, he could easily get a search warrant for him. Then, he could take action against those generals.
Although the civil and military of the Empire were not integrated, and the generals were actually under the management of General Budo. However, as long as Ryuga brought out enough dirt, even General Budo couldn't say anything.
Including Ligu, Ryuga had toppled two generals in succession within half a month after taking office.
Of course, in order not to be too deliberate, there was also a civil official in the middle.
During the day, he investigated the dirt of the Empire's generals as the captain of the imperial guard. At night, he assassinated the Teigu user of the Empire as a [Dead Spirit]. This was Ryuga's current strategy against the Empire.
"Captain, the minister sent someone to urgently summon you to the palace for a detailed discussion!"
"Urgent summon?"
Ryuga frowned slightly, stood up and left the headquarters of the guard.
…
The palace.
When he came in again, Ryuga was no stranger to it. Not to mention that he had checked the palace many times as a [Dead Spirit], even if he wanted to ask the minister for a search warrant, he also went in and out here many times as a young man.
But this time, it was different.
As soon as he walked into the minister's palace, he immediately noticed an extremely powerful breath, which was hidden in the minister's palace. He paused slightly, but he still walked into the palace and came in front of Oneste.
"Minister, why are you so anxious to summon me to the palace? Is there anything wrong?"
Ryuga was different from his casual attitude in the past. He almost stood beside him respectfully, and he looked like he was listening to the lecture.
Ernest was still sitting at the long table in the palace, chewing the meat in big mouthfuls. The meat looked like it was at most 30% cooked. There were still some traces of blood on it. When he saw Liu Xia's behavior, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Hmm, chewing, chewing … Actually, the person who is looking for you is not me."
However, he still pretended that he did not care and continued to chew on the meat as if he had a great appetite. "The person who is looking for you this time is this … the Imperial General."
Along with his introduction, a figure came in from the other side of the palace and entered Ryuga's sight.
It was a strong man who was close to two meters tall. He had short blonde hair and a square face with sharp edges. He was wearing a set of silver armor and a white cape on his back.
He looked to be in his forties. His face was serious, and there was a sense of self-discipline that lingered around him as if he had been strict with himself for the past few decades.
The Imperial General, Bude.
The head of the Imperial General, and also the highest commander of the Imperial Army. At the same time, he was also the strongest person in the Imperial Army. He was believed to have the same strength as Esders, and he had suppressed countless thieves. However, because he needed to protect the safety of the Emperor, he stayed in the palace all year round, and his achievements were not as terrifying as Esders.
"This subordinate has been rude. Greetings, General."
The moment Ryuga saw Bude, her face showed a little surprise, and then she quickly saluted to Bude.
"Rude? Very rude indeed. "
General Bude slowly walked in front of Ryuga. His tall figure shrouded his shadow, and his black eyes looked down at Ryuga, who lowered her head.
"Although there is enough evidence, but you really dare to do it. How dare you attack the general under my command —!"
After such a low but violent voice was spoken, Bude suddenly lifted his cape, waved his fist, and bombarded Ryuga's abdomen from below.
Although his fist was not fast enough, it was powerful and gave the impression that it was unstoppable.
Perhaps he did have the strength to match Esders, but he and Esders were completely different types.
Ryuga stood there in a daze, as if she was completely frightened. She did not move at all, and her golden eyes stared straight at Bude's fist approaching.
