I survived by drawing cards after being transported to One-Punch Man.

Inside the far northern fortress.

After Lin Yu whispered a few words to Esdeath's former adjutant, the white-haired adjutant's eyes began to redden.

“General…I…can still…” The old adjutant was still a little choked up and wanted to say something, but Esdeath waved her hand to interrupt him.

"Go enjoy life in the capital. You've contributed enough to the army. As long as I'm alive, no one in the capital will dare to mess with my subordinates."

This is Esdeath's prestige in the Imperial Capital. There are many generals in the Imperial Capital, but she is the strongest general. Even General Budo, a veteran of two dynasties who is on par with her, is not as powerful as her.

The capital city is a melting pot of powerful figures. Although the young emperor in the palace has real power, he lost his parents at a young age and was raised by a trusted minister of the former king.

From a young age, the young emperor was brainwashed. He held real power but obeyed his ministers blindly, becoming their puppet.

On the surface, the empire is still ruled by the young emperor, but in reality, it is already the empire of the ministers.

The minister's name was Ernest, a huge, white-haired, obese man with a high IQ.

The young emperor's parents were killed by the ministers, and other contenders for the throne also chose to give up under the ministers' influence. If it weren't for the fact that the young emperor's bloodline could unlock the Supreme Imperial Arms, the ministers would have disposed of the young emperor long ago.

The Supreme Imperial Arms are the empire's most powerful weapons and the trump card left by the first emperor to prevent the empire's downfall.

The only person the ministers feared was Esdeath; even the entire Revolutionary Army paled in comparison to Esdeath alone.

...........

One day later, in the command center of the far northern fortress.

"Mickey and Mini are your two positions now. You must attack them simultaneously."

Esdeath changed into her white military uniform, and her injuries had healed. Now was the time to arrange for her subordinates to attack the alien race.

"Received!" the two burly men in armor replied.

"Tomorrow, we'll focus our attack on the alien race's 'Winter Fortress.' I'll lead the attack through the main gate. Lin Yu, you'll infiltrate the Winter Fortress tonight and wait for the right moment to kill Numa Seka."

"Is this Numa Seka very strong?"

"So-so, not as good as you."

"Oh." Lin Yu nodded, and Esdeath continued to give her subordinates tactical instructions.

Poor Numa Seka, you're about to die, but rather than being kicked to death as Esdeath's dog, I'll let you die a quick death.

Esdeath's Teigu "Devil's Essence" is a meat grinder. No matter how many people there are, as long as there is no powerful Teigu user, they are all lambs to the slaughter. The army is just an auxiliary force. Esdeath is the only one with the highest output in the entire battle.

After this battle, Esdeath will definitely return to the Imperial Capital, and I will soon enter the main storyline.

All the good stuff is in the capital. I wonder how the others are doing in this world. I really "need" them.

"This is all the information on Numa Seka. He's easy to deal with, but you should still be careful."

"I understand, he won't survive."

Numa Seka didn't even have a Teigu (Imperial Armor), so he was easily crushed to death.

Thump, a backpack was thrown onto the tactical table.

"I know your ring has a lot of good stuff, but I'll still accept these things. The most important ones are these two signal flares. Red means the mission has failed and rescue is needed, while green means the mission has been completed and rescue is still needed."

"You look so pleasing to the eye when you're normal. Wouldn't it be better if you always looked like this?"

"roll!"

"How indifferent. I'll be leaving then, General."

Seeing Lin Yu like this, Esdeath had nothing to say and decided to just treat him like a fool.

After Lin Yu left, Esdeath found the two signal flares in the corner.

"Did you notice? You're quite observant." Esdeath sat at the head of the tactical table, her beautiful legs draped over the table, her hands fiddling with the two signal flares.

"Whether it's an act or not, we'll find out soon enough."

"Ka La"

Esdeath pried the two signal flares apart; they were both empty, fake.

Deep inside enemy territory, it's either live or die; there's no way you'll get support.

........

"What a quack doctor, he's given up on everything! Things happened so suddenly, I'm so panicked..."

Amidst the howling snow, a series of unpleasant songs drifted through the air. Lin Yu, flying high in the sky, held a map while singing loudly.

Singing this kind of song in a deserted place is still a bit embarrassing.

"Why bother with the signal flare? He can become invisible and fly, and just use his telekinesis to strangle Numa Seka. Why bother with the signal flare?"

"Numa Seka of Winterhold, your life is beginning its countdown." Lin Yu looked at the portrait in his hand. He was quite handsome; his looks were good enough to be a leading man.

........

On the walls of the fortress in the dead of winter.

"Are you aware of the recent rumors circulating in the military?"

"You mean the Empire has sent another 500,000 troops, right?"

"Yes, five hundred thousand, and that's still that person's army," a foreign soldier standing guard on the city wall said, somewhat frightened.

"Tch, what are you afraid of? Didn't we send 200,000 before? What good did it do? They were still routed by us. 500,000? Even if it's a million, what difference will it make?"

"Exactly, they're just scum of the empire. How can they compare to us, the iron-blooded men who live here?"

A burst of laughter rang out; the alien race seemed to look down on the Imperial Army.

"Damn it, why hasn't the shift changer arrived yet? Did they give me too much to drink?"

"Definitely. Those guys have been partying every day since they won, we can't fall behind."

“I went to the tavern to find them; they even forgot the changing of the guard time.”

"Me too, me too!" As several soldiers left, Lin Yu, who had become transparent in the sky, shook his head, looked at the relaxed soldiers on the city wall, and thought, "Enjoy the last bit of peace." Then he disappeared into the fortress town.

“Let me see where you are… I found it.” Lin Yu quickly located the house where Numa Seka lived.

There were no soldiers around the house, so it seems Numa Seka is quite confident in himself, considering he is the strongest fighter in the far north.

"After we wipe out these Imperial troops this time, I will lead my forces to counterattack the Empire and create a better home for our far north." As Lin Yu approached, Numa Seka was drinking and talking to himself inside the house.

"Alright, let's get started."

Lin Yu immediately used his green telekinetic power to immobilize Numa Seka.

Numa Seka hovered in the air, his whole body trembling.

"Who are you...?" The foreign prince wanted to say something more.

"I am..." As he finished speaking, Lin Yu closed his right hand, and Numa Seka became Numa Seka meat pie.

"What a pity. The law of the jungle prevails. You can live up to your ideals in your next life."

Thus, Numa Seka, a key figure among the alien races of the far north, died at home in an extremely hasty manner.
