Doomsday Game

"My dear, you don't have to be so polite. The Emperor summoned you to discuss something today. I am very curious about you, a young genius who is famous in the imperial capital, so I specially summoned you here."

After exchanging glances with Princess Jingyang for a moment, the empress spoke dignifiedly to Chu Yan:

"Today, I saw you, you are indeed a rare talent, a young hero. No wonder the Emperor values ​​you so much and wants to promote you despite all objections."

"But you are still young and have no qualifications, but you have taken a position at the level of deputy director-general. This is indeed unprecedented."

"Because of this matter, the Emperor and I have been annoyed by the protests of hundreds of officials during this period. My dear Chu, you must fight for your reputation and lead the demon-suppressing team to achieve several results to prove your ability, so as to shut everyone up."

As she said this, she narrowed her eyes and asked seriously:

"My dear Chu, do you understand the expectations of the Emperor and me for you?"

How could Chu Yan not hear the true meaning of it?

He knew that the Emperor wanted him to be so high-profile and promoted him to this position at the speed of light, which must be to make him do something big and play a greater role.

As for the protests of the officials, Chu Yan only believed it roughly, probably just to put pressure on him.

What the Emperor and the Empress decided was still the internal appointment of the Demon Slayer Department. Except for the National Master, which official dared to say no?

Even if there were a few stubborn officials who were short-sighted, it should not be a big deal and would not put pressure on the Empress and the Emperor.

However, Chu Yan saw through it but did not say it clearly. While he responded, he felt that this was an opportunity, so he directly followed her words and stated his purpose:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never let you down! In fact, I have an action plan to catch the possible demons and traitors in the imperial capital in one fell swoop, but this matter is of great importance and needs the approval of Your Majesty and the Emperor before I can let go and do it!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After the empress and the emperor exchanged a glance, they asked:

"Oh? It's rare that you have such a big move just after taking office. You might as well tell me in detail."

Hearing this, Chu Yan turned his head and looked around, wanting to say something but stopping.

The empress understood, waved her hand to let all the maids in the hall retreat, and casually set up a layer of dragon shadow floating forbidden barrier.

Chu Yan paused, but turned his head to look at Princess Jingyang not far away.

The princess also looked curious at this time, and seemed to be very interested in what Chu Yan said. As a result, she was stunned for a moment when he looked at her like this, and then reacted, her face turned black on the spot!

No! What do you mean? I can't listen?

The empress spoke at this time: "Jingyang is the daughter of me and the emperor, and is also a capable general under my command. She is absolutely trustworthy. You can speak freely."

Chu Yan nodded, ignoring the princess's rolling eyes, and began to talk freely:

"The story starts from when I just became a demon slayer. At that time..."

He told the story of his encounter with an organized assassination by a third-level demon, and then found a hidden demon traitor in Panlong City. The clues pointed directly to the imperial capital, and he suspected that there was a demon big shot hidden in the upper echelons of power in the imperial capital. He said it in great detail.

Then he told his plan:

"I have upgraded the Bi'an magic not long ago, and it can already increase the power of Tianxiang's attack. Even if it is a demon undercover at the level of demon king, I am confident that I can directly catch it."

"So my plan is very simple: temporarily block the whole city, let the Demon Slayer Department deploy defenses throughout the city, make preparations in advance, and then I will use the Bi'an magic to make all the demons hidden in the city appear. At that time, the Demon Slayer Department will use thundering means to capture these demons in one fell swoop and catch them off guard!"

"If the location of the demon king is found, I will capture him. The emperor and your majesty only need to stay in charge of the overall situation to ensure that nothing will go wrong!"

After Chu Yan finished speaking, he looked at the two people in the upper position with burning eyes, and only they could answer.

However, the empress was silent.

Indeed, Chu Yan's plan was indeed simple and crude, but it was not simple at all to execute it perfectly.

They had to block the entire city secretly, deploy the Demon Slayer Division’s troops throughout the city without alerting the enemy, and give them absolute unhindered authority to act.

After the operation began, the hidden demons were marked, but what if the demons were hiding in the private residences of dignitaries? Or in the palace? Or in the residences of the crown prince, princess, prince, or even the imperial master?

To enter these places, you need to apply in advance.

They must ensure that the Demon Slayer Division’s troops can move freely in any place in the imperial capital.

In addition, whether the exposed demon undercover will harm the people, take hostages, or even do more crazy things in a panic, these are all things that need to be checked.Considered in advance.

The most important thing is, if there is really an undercover agent at the level of the demon king, we need to capture it after finding it, right? We must fight when catching it, right?

The fourth-level demon-killing war that broke out directly in the imperial capital is no joke!

Who will bear the consequences of any losses caused?

Just with so many things to consider, I don’t know how much preparation needs to be made in advance. Is the manpower of the Demon Slayer Bureau really enough?

"This is indeed a serious matter, and we must not act rashly. Why don't we..."

The empress was thinking and was about to put the matter aside for the time being, but the emperor who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up and made a decision:

"The hidden danger of traitors is huge, and they should be eliminated as soon as possible at all costs!"

"Captain Chu Yan, please go back and formulate a detailed action plan as soon as possible. Please tell us how many manpower, resources and authority are needed, and list them in detail. This seat and His Majesty will do our best to meet your needs."

"This matter concerns the safety of the entire imperial capital. Everything should be prepared as much as possible to minimize possible losses."

"If you want to achieve your goal better, it is far from enough to rely on the Demon Slayer Division alone. You also need the full cooperation of the royal family and the court. You need someone to help you with the coordination and dispatch."

"Princess Jingyang is a member of the royal family. Her outstanding abilities are obvious to all. She is usually responsible for assisting His Majesty in handling government affairs and managing matters inside and outside the palace. She is also the most beloved disciple of the national teacher. She is the most suitable candidate. Let her assist you."

"This operation will be jointly led by the two of you. Is there any problem?"

After the emperor finished speaking, the empress frowned slightly, looked at him, and still did not raise any objections.

Chu Yan and Princess Jingyang were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other at the same time.

After looking at each other for a moment, the two of them bowed their hands and borrowed the order, and responded loudly:

"I accept the order and will definitely assist Lord Chu with all my strength!"

"I will obey the order and will not let you down!"
