Please Call Me Cyber Ghost King

Esdeath's desire was almost overflowing, and Ke Ling didn't hold her back and nodded directly in agreement with her request.

"Very good!"

Esdeath was very happy after receiving Ke Ling's consent. This was probably the happiest she had been in so many days.

Sure enough, when it's time to give in, you have to give in. If she had been released earlier, maybe she would be commanding the war against the Western Kingdom now.

Of course, this is just a thought. Esdeath still knows her character very well. How could she give up at the first sign?

In fact, thinking about it now, Esdeath felt that she had given up defeat a little too easily. For some reason, she easily believed Ke Ling's words and finally chose to become Ke Ling's subordinate.

It can only be said that the title of [Emperor of Humanity] is still working hard to increase the charm value!

"Let's just arrange it like this."

Ke Ling made a decision and decided on this matter. After this mission is over, Esdeath will be responsible for sweeping out the Peacock Kingdom in the south.

"When do you leave?"

Esdeath was very excited. She immediately asked Brand, and she really wanted to lead her people to the Western Kingdom immediately.

"In just these two days, the spies have figured out the route ahead, and the businessmen coming and going have been really helpful."

Brand replied that he did not rely on the merchants to explore the route, but only sent spies to follow the merchants secretly.

After all, no one can guarantee that these businessmen will not betray the empire. What if they directly reveal the news to the Western Kingdom?

Never overestimate the bottom line of these people, especially these businessmen who run on both sides. They are brave enough to dare to take such long-term trade routes for profit, and it is not unusual for them to do anything.

"Okay, let's strive for a quick victory."

Esdeath is very satisfied, she just wants to get rid of the Western Kingdom quickly.

"It's a bit difficult. After all, it is a huge kingdom that has been entrenched in the west for many years."

Brand shook his head. The requirement for a quick victory was too high, and he was not going to fight a foreign nation like a rootless duckweed. The Western Kingdom was not as backward as the foreign nations around the empire.

"After the victory, governance will also be a problem. The empire cannot recruit so many officials at once to govern the Western Kingdom, so military control will definitely continue for a while."

Brand explained to Esdeath that it was not that he did not want to solve the Western Kingdom quickly, but that the objective conditions did not allow it.

Hearing Brand's words, Ke Ling looked at him in surprise. To be honest, he didn't expect Brand to even think about how to manage the occupation. It seemed that Brand had done a lot of homework. , very serious about this expedition.

"Haha, Nadjeta told me all that."

Then, Brand scratched his head and told the truth. As the leading general on the front line, Nadjeta told him clearly about the matter. After all, Brand was also responsible for military control matters.

"How it is governed is the government's business."

According to Esdeath, he is very much an imperial general. The empire's military does not participate in politics, and these matters are not under their control. Like Esdeath, she just fights when she fights. She never thinks about how to govern in the future, and she doesn't care. How to govern.

Of course, it's not that Esdeath doesn't understand this, she understands it so well that she even deliberately leaves some hooks for the enemy to continue to launch rebellions, so that she can continue to counter rebellions in the future.

"The government will try its best to mobilize officials to manage, but it must also activate and train local people. It cannot rely solely on sending imperial people to manage."

Ke Ling said that after the Western Kingdom is occupied, a large number of local people will definitely be used for management.

The officials on the empire side definitely cannot lay a large number of officials on the ground floor, because there is no way to recruit so many grassroots officials in a short period of time. The empire itself is still undergoing comprehensive reforms, and it wishes that there were not enough people on its side.

"That's why Nadjeta is opposed to sending troops to attack now. Her considerations are reasonable. The empire really can't control it."

Brand nodded. Nadjeta had always been opposed to this expedition. It was not that she felt there was no need to expand. She just felt that now was not the best time.

"What does she know? The territory must be conquered first. There is always a way to manage it. Only after the territory is conquered will we find ways to govern it. Otherwise, there will always be a shortage of manpower for governance."

Esdeath retorted. She obviously did not agree with Nadjeta's idea. Without first creating a large demand for officials, how could it be possible to cultivate so many idle officials for no reason?

As for the window period between training officials, let the Western Kingdom undergo the pain of military control first. This can also sharpen the spirit of the people of the Western Kingdom and save them from causing a lot of trouble when they are actually taken over by the government. .

"What you said makes sense."

Brand nodded and directly sent officials to manage it. They might encounter various killings of officials. This is not something that has never happened before. We still need to temper the temperament of these people first.

After a few chats, Ke Ling left first. He returned to the Imperial Capital to see how Nadjeta and the others were handling government affairs.

Ke Ling is a true hands-off boss. He usually doesn't care about anything and leaves it all to the people below him. He is responsible for coordinating the overall situation. The so-called co-ordination actually means that he knows what to do in the future and then leaves it all to his subordinates. deal with.

At this moment, the Imperial Parliament is convening, and Nadjeta, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Executive Yuan, is presiding over the meeting as a matter of course. As the person in charge of the Imperial Government, she is also high-spirited and working hard to realize her political ambitions.

"The West Route Army will take action soon. We must give them sufficient support. Whether it is logistical support or follow-up arrangements, they must be put on the agenda as soon as possible and processed as a matter of urgency."

Nadjeta's speech also focused on the Western Expeditionary Force. The importance of this matter is currently ranked first. After all, if they fail, the consequences will be serious.

Of course, Nadjeta just thought about it in her heart. The probability of defeat was almost negligible. The Teigu users came out in full force, and the empire almost used all its power. This punch has thousands of years of skill. , can the Western Kingdom handle it? Nadjeta thought it was basically impossible.

Furthermore, they also have a real strategic weapon, the "God Emperor". As long as the "God Emperor" takes action, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Nadjeta doesn't know that Esdeath has also joined the expeditionary force, otherwise she would be more confident. After all, Nadjeta has always been very clear about the power of Esdeath, an old colleague, and the entire Western Kingdom is enough for Esdeath. Did Des fight alone?

Although some people in the Imperial Council objected to this expedition, at this point, no one deliberately delayed it. There was no way, after all, this was the emperor's personal decree.

Some people did not even dare to say that they were against it. Only Nadjeta clearly stood up and opposed it. This could be regarded as establishing power for Nadjeta and establishing her as the Prime Minister of the Imperial Executive Yuan.

Although Nadjeta's opposition was of no use, at least she stood up, which was enough to make everyone look at her differently.

Ke Ling was quite satisfied to see Nadjeta controlling the situation quite well. He didn't mind letting Nadjeta create a character. As the actual manager of the empire, Nadjeta really needed enough prestige. to coordinate the overall situation.

Ke Ling's own prestige has skyrocketed, and Nadjeta can get a little bit from him to convince others.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and soon, the Western Expeditionary Force finally set off. With great speed, they went straight west and raided the border guards of the Western Kingdom.

The border guards of the Western Kingdom have always guarded against Western foreign nations. Of course, for the Western Kingdom, they are actually "Oriental foreign nations." In short, the object of their protection has never been the empire.

Because the empire has always been very restrained, with the western wilderness, the northern polar regions, the southern poison barrier, and the eastern ocean as its borders, the empire rarely goes abroad, except when it comes to teach foreign nations.

This time, although they had heard that the empire was teaching Western foreign nations another lesson, no one cared about it, no one took it seriously, and no one thought that the empire would attack them.

As a result, under the attack of the imperial army, the border guards of the Western Kingdom were pushed flatly without much resistance.

There was no way, they couldn't resist even if they wanted to. The imperial army with the Teigu user as its arrow was simply invincible.

Esdeath directly took the lead, leading a group of Teigu users like Will, Porus, Lan, Black Eyes, Red Eyes, Hill, Leonai, Mayin, and Lubbock to rush to the front line.

This vanguard army can be called an all-star lineup, gathering the elites of [Hunters] and [Night Raid]. These two inseparable organizations that should be killed are now fighting side by side.

"These people in the Western Kingdom seem quite corrupt."

After capturing a castle guarding the key route, Chi Tong already had a general understanding of the armies of these Western Kingdoms. He could only say that they were not much better than the decadent empire. Crouching dragons and phoenix chicks were, no wonder. They only guarded the borders and never harassed or invaded the empire's borders.

“Their country seems to have inherited it for a long time.”

The black pupil followed her sister, holding a lollipop in her mouth, and answered casually.

"Give me one."

Looking at her sister, Chitong suddenly stretched out her hand.

"ah?"

The black pupil was stunned for a moment, and then a happy look flashed in his eyes.

"Give."

Without any hesitation, Heitong gave one to her sister. People who know her well would definitely be very surprised if they saw it, because Heitong is very protective of her food. Her snack bag says "Heitong's snacks" ", there are not many people who can snatch food from her hands.

Taking the lollipop from her sister, Chitong put it in her mouth. She felt it was so sweet, but her heart was full of bitterness.

Chitong now knows that her sister Heitong's physical condition is not good. Heitong usually eats such sweets just to suppress the pain of her body. Some of her "snacks" are simply "inhibitors". Those "snacks" "I can't even think about not eating.

Chi Tong is working so hard now because she actually has some thoughts. She wants to be qualified to ascend, not for herself, but for her sister. As long as she can make her sister Black Eye ascend and become the emperor's "ascended person", she can Get rid of that pain.

Regarding the "Ascended Ones", she also asked General Bude specifically and got some first-hand information. When she met Esdeath this time, she asked in detail. Esdeath also He told her the relevant information directly without hiding it.

Although the Emperor will manipulate their life and death at will, Chi Tong feels that this is completely acceptable. The Emperor is so powerful that he doesn't care about their life and death at all. Even if you don't become an "Ascendant", the Emperor can easily kill you if he wants you to die?

As long as you think about it, you feel that it is completely acceptable. Moreover, in Hei Tong's current situation, life and death are actually being manipulated, but they are just controlled by the Imperial Assassination Force.

In comparison, it is better to become an "Ascendant" and be controlled by the Emperor.

After thinking so much, Chi Tong finally decided to help her sister get a chance to become an "Ascendant". She also asked indirectly. Hei Tong still has a good impression of the Emperor. It may be because the Emperor transferred her out of the Imperial Assassination Force. Hei Tong has always respected the Emperor very much.

"Sister? What's wrong?"

Hei Tong looked at her sister Chi Tong strangely. The relationship between the two of them has gradually broken the ice. They have a lot more understanding of each other, and the relationship has begun to become normal.

Hei Tong was naturally very happy to be able to become closer to her sister, especially her sister took the initiative to get closer to her, which made her feel even happier.

"Hei Tong, do you want to become an ascender?"

Chi Tong looked very serious and asked her sister directly. She couldn't just do it on her own, so she had to ask her sister's opinion.

Some of the misunderstandings between her and her sister were caused by lack of communication, so Chi Tong now hopes to make things clear with her sister to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Ascendant?"

Hei Tong was stunned for a moment. Why did she suddenly talk about this? This thought was a bit jumpy, and she couldn't keep up for a while.

"Yes, as long as you become an ascender, your problem will be solved."

Chi Tong looked serious, and her words made Hei Tong dazed. It turned out that her sister had been thinking about this for her? Hei Tong felt warm in her heart. It felt so good to be cared for.

"But. This will be difficult, right? Only strong people like General Bud and General Esdeath are qualified."

Hei Tong tilted her head. She didn't reject this at all, and even felt very honored. Look at who the "ascendants" are now? Is this something that ordinary people can only hope for?

"There will be a chance."

Aka Tong's eyes were firm. She knew some different news. In addition to Esdeath and Bud, there were actually other "ascendants", and they were unknown people. This was the news she learned from the new recruit Shayou who followed her.
