His fist stopped right before it reached Ryuga's abdomen.
It only created a gust of wind that messed up Ryuga's clothes.
"Hmph, but you did a good job."
Grand General Budo's cold voice came from above, "Before you exposed me, even I didn't think that there would be such scum among my subordinates."
He retracted his fist and turned around, "But you should know when to stop. Normally, it would be fine, but now that the Empire is in need of people, I can still tolerate some of your bad habits. It won't be too late to punish you after the problem is solved."
"I understand."
Ryuga raised her head, the golden luster in her eyes had already dissipated, returning to its original amber color, "Since the Grand General has said so, then this subordinate has no reason to disobey."
This was to be expected.
Once Ryuga defeated too many generals, it would definitely attract the attention of Grand General Budo, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly.
The Empire's Grand General and Minister Ernest, the head of the military and the head of the civil officials respectively. Of course, as a military general, the Grand General couldn't interfere with the affairs of the Imperial Court, but if the Grand General decided to protect his subordinates, then the minister couldn't stop him.
So far, the minister was able to do whatever he wanted in the field of political power. Any official who angered him didn't have a good ending, but he rarely made a move against the Empire's generals. If he wanted to make a move, it would be like Ryuga, requiring 'conclusive' evidence and using the Emperor's hand. There was even a precedent that the minister couldn't make a move against some of the civil officials who were protected by the Grand General.
Moreover, this Grand General seemed to be a very righteous person. He didn't really explode in anger just because Ryuga made a move against his subordinates. His words also revealed his disdain for those problematic generals. Judging from his words and actions, he was probably one of the few people who was truly worried about the Empire.
But unfortunately, the more loyal he was, the more Ryuga wanted to kill him.
"I heard that you are very good at investigating."
Grand General Budo used a declarative tone and said to Ryuga, "Don't deny it, otherwise, two of my generals wouldn't have been so easily defeated by you."
"I have a mission for you."
Without giving Ryuga a chance to refuse, Grand General Budo told her about the mission.
"The assassin named [Dead Spirit] came and went freely in the palace several times. He assassinated the important ministers and Teigu envoys several times. The danger is very high, even enough to threaten the emperor! Unfortunately, no one was able to find out where that guy came from. "
When talking about the undead, Bud's entire body was filled with an astonishingly low pressure, exuding a strong sense of oppression, as if a volcano was about to erupt in his body.
"No matter what, the assassin who threatens His Majesty's safety must not be tolerated! Yin-yang, I order you to immediately investigate the origin and purpose of this dead soul. Capture him and execute him as soon as possible! "
Ryuga raised her eyebrows slightly.
"This subordinate will naturally obey the Great General's orders."
He seemed to agree respectfully, and then said, "But, with all due respect, Great General, I am afraid that the strength of the undead is not something that our imperial capital guards can compete with. It is almost impossible to capture him."
"You don't have to worry about the capture, you are only responsible for the investigation."
Grand General Budo put his hands on his chest and said with a cold expression, "As long as there is any information, you can inform me. I will personally capture the gangster and execute him in public!"
"I understand."
Ryuga understood, bowed slightly and took over the mission issued by Grand General Budo.
"I heard that you killed a Teigu envoys as soon as you took office, and also caught the killer who attacked at night. Your ability is beyond doubt."
Grand General Budo paused, and then continued, "After it is done, you can take office in the barracks. I can promise to give you the position of a general. It is easier to work under the minister, and you have a much better future."
After saying this, he left the minister's palace without waiting for Ryuga's reply, as if he was unwilling to stay in the minister's palace for one more second.
"Hah, much easier?"
The minister tore the steak fiercely while silently complaining in his heart, "Which side is easier, this old stubborn man who doesn't understand the world!"
Because of the poison in his body, no matter what request Ryuga made, as long as it was not too much, he would agree without hesitation. Was there any easier and relaxing way to work than this?
He was not a subordinate at all, but a father.
"He actually asked me to deal with the undead, Grand General Budo really thought of it."
After Budo left, Ryuga's pretended respectful appearance gradually disappeared, and she sat on the chair opposite the minister. "I have defeated two of his generals before, but he still entrusted me with a heavy responsibility."
"That's what the old stubborn man is like."
The minister glanced at Ryuga, whose attitude became casual, and kept a smile on his face. "Although he will not intervene in politics, he can't help but promote excellent young people when he sees them. He is a good general who really worries about the prosperity of the empire."
"Isn't General Esders back? Isn't it easier for her to deal with the undead than for me? "
Ryuga did not comment on the minister's statement, but asked in turn.
"General Esders has other tasks recently."
The minister took another bite of the steak. "Although recently because of the activity of the undead, the danger of the night attack is actually not less than that of the undead. After all, the night attack is supported by the rebels in the south. General Esders is dealing with the night attack recently."
The rebels in the south.
These rebels, of course, referred to the revolutionary army.
Because the white falcon stayed in the night attack base for a period of time, plus the minister was the intelligence source, Ryuga naturally knew the origin of the night attack.
In a word, that was the force formed by the revolutionary army to assassinate the high-level officials of the empire and collect the wandering Teigu.
If there was no such big force behind it, it was almost impossible to form an assassin group with multiple Teigu users.
But in other words, the night attack with the revolutionary army as the backing was not inferior to the threat of the undead. At least the undead could come and go freely in the palace, but under the protection of General Bude, it was impossible to assassinate the little emperor, but the existence of the night attack was enough to shake the state power.
And Esders, who returned to the capital, was now dealing with the night attack.
This was also good.
Ryuga did not want to face the woman too early, at least in the case that his purpose of weakening the empire's combat power had not been achieved, he did not intend to have a head-on conflict with Esders.
The woman was not only powerful, but also deeply rooted in the empire's power. Even the minister maintained a cooperative relationship with her, it was enough to see how difficult it was to deal with the woman.
