Chương 59: Esdeath and the others are shocked by their strength!

"Are you planning to betray me?"

After hearing what Yang Cheng said, Esdeath was stunned for a moment, and then her face quickly showed an extremely displeased expression.

What will happen inside the Empire? Esdeath doesn't care; as a battle maniac, she only loves fighting.

Furthermore, while destroying the enemy's physical body, it also completely destroys their mind.

The identity of an imperial general suited her well, and she did indeed enjoy waging wars everywhere.

As for whether the empire is corrupt or decadent, what does that have to do with her? After all, she believes in the survival of the fittest and that only the strong can survive in this world.

Those who die are only so because they are too weak.

Esdeath originally believed that Yang Cheng, who was also a member of the Baltus race, would understand her beliefs and ideas.

But Yang Cheng is now telling her that he will follow her only to defeat the northern barbarians and take revenge, nothing more.

Now that he has avenged his great grudge, he naturally wants to leave.

Of course, Esdeath could not accept such wording, and she was even starting to get angry.

"General Yang Cheng, you'd better apologize to General Esdeath right away. Tell her that what you just said wasn't meant to be serious."

Daidas, one of the Three Beast Warriors, is also a battle maniac. He doesn't have much of a relationship with Yang Cheng, but out of consideration for their comradeship, he is trying to persuade Yang Cheng.

"There's no need, because this is my true thought, unlike you fanatics who only enjoy fighting."

I have my own bottom line. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. My only target for revenge is the northern barbarians.

Now that the battle is won, I do not wish to become another northern barbarian, pointlessly slaughtering others.

It's normal for people to die in war, and Yang Cheng didn't think it was a big deal.

However, Esdeath and the Three Beasts not only killed people, but also tortured them in various ways, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

It's not that he's a saint; if the other party were a mortal enemy, then doing so would be understandable.

Just like when Esdeath wanted to bury 400, 000 alien soldiers alive, Yang Cheng wouldn't object, since they had a deep-seated hatred for each other.

But Esdeath and her companions did this not only towards the northern barbarians, but towards any other enemy.

Killing is not cruelty; otherwise, what's the difference between that and being a pervert?

Moreover, soldiers defending their country is an honor in itself, but in Yang Cheng's view, the current empire does not even have the right to make him fight.

Esdeath enjoys killing and fighting, but she's not a battle maniac. What reason does she have to stay?

Are you suggesting we stick around that disgusting minister for the sake of the young emperor?

Honestly, not killing them was already a big favor to Esdeath.

Seeing Yang Cheng's determined expression, Esdeath also stood up from her throne.

Then, with a cold expression, he looked at Yang Cheng and said, "Yang Cheng, do you remember what I told you before?"

The weak have no right to choose. If you want to live according to your own will, then you must prove that you have the strength to do so.

As Esdeath spoke, she glanced down at the mentally broken northern prince beside her.

After throwing the opponent's spiked hammer weapon in front of him, Esdeath looked down at him and said, "You seem to really want to save your people."

So I'll give you that opportunity now.

Pick up the weapon in front of you and defeat my subordinate.

If you can do that, then I will rescind my previous order to bury your people alive.

They should already be digging the pit over there, right? So your time is quite limited.

Otherwise, even if you win, your people will probably already be buried in the desert sands.

Upon hearing Esdeath's words, the northern prince's previously unfocused eyes suddenly lit up with a sharp light.

Because one of his arms had been broken by Esdeath, this alien prince could only grip his weapon with his other hand.

As a former valiant prince of the northern barbarians, although he was easily defeated by Esdeath, this does not mean that he was not strong.

Even by a conservative estimate, the northern alien prince's strength surpasses that of the "Three Beast Warriors".

After all, it was because of this prince and the foreign army that the empire believed it would take at least a year to quell the war in the north.

Although he has lost an arm, this prince from the northern tribes is still a formidable fighter.

Even now, with the lives of 400, 000 of his kin on his shoulders, he is even stronger than he was in his prime!

Esdeath knew very well what level Yang Cheng was capable of, and she did not believe that Yang Cheng could defeat the northern alien prince.

Of course, the reason she suddenly proposed such a bet was not because she really wanted to kill Yang Cheng.

Rather, she wanted Yang Cheng to understand that this world is a dog-eat-dog world.

Only the strong have the right to make the rules; the weak only have the right to choose to obey.

Northern tribes are generally tall and strong, and the prince of the tribe in front of Yang Cheng is an astonishing 2. 5 meters tall.

When he swung his spiked hammer at Yang Cheng, the terrifying brute force caused the obviously heavy spiked hammer to make a whooshing sound as it was swung through the air!

With just this one hammer blow, the three beast generals watching, Niu, Istarus, and Esdeath above, all felt that Yang Cheng might be about to be defeated.

After all, they all had some understanding of Yang Cheng's strength. To say he was completely weak was an understatement; Yang Cheng's strength was at most at the level of an ordinary imperial general.

"Thump—!"

However, just as Esdeath was ready to take action after Yang Cheng was defeated, the scene before her completely stunned Esdeath and the others.

Yang Cheng, who had drawn his sword to parry, calmly received the alien prince's heavy hammer blow, and in the next second, he delivered a powerful whip kick, directly striking the opponent's neck.

"boom------!"

The leg shadow, accompanied by a whooshing sound, landed on the alien prince's neck. Before the prince could even react, his eyes had already turned white.

As the alien prince's head slammed into the ground, a large hole covered with spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared in the ground.

As for the prince, renowned for his bravery and skill in battle, and who carried the hopes of the entire northern tribes, his head had already smashed into the ground, and he had completely lost consciousness.

If it were the Yang Cheng of the past, facing a formidable enemy like the alien prince, he might have experienced a fierce battle, and might even have lost.

But things are different now. He has already started using illegal third-party software and has become much stronger.

The northern prince is no longer a worthy adversary to him.
