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

Frost Core: One of the main materials for crafting Imperial Arms, increases the success rate of crafting Imperial Arms by 10%.

[Boiling Blood: Blood imbued with berserk power. Upon consumption, there is a 10% chance of gaining special abilities, a 20% chance of losing one's mind, and a 70% chance of becoming Frost Fury.]

Are they useful? Yes, but not much. These two items might be very powerful for others, but they're useless to Lin Yu. He'll see if he can find someone to exchange them later. Anyway, they're from the Infinite Space, so they should be tradable.

"Lin Yu, if you exert any more force, you'll crush this horse to death. I don't have a third one for you to ride." A cold voice came from behind, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at him with a sinister look.

"Unexpected, unexpected, I'll hold back a bit."

Lin Yu loosened his grip slightly. He knew nothing about riding a horse, and maintaining balance on all four legs was far more difficult than he had anticipated. He could only strengthen his waist and legs to control the horse, but the horse couldn't handle it.

The first horse he rode collapsed to the ground after twenty minutes, foaming at the mouth, its abdomen convulsing violently, and bearing the imprint of Lin Yu's thigh.

The second horse was also in a bad situation, on the verge of collapse, and had started foaming at the mouth.

Lin Yu himself was also feeling unwell. Although his body allowed it, riding was uncomfortable and very painful.

"General, how far are we from the capital?" Lin Yu asked Esdeath.

"It should take about three days to arrive." Esdeath, seeing the horse chewing white foam beneath Lin Yu, guessed what Lin Yu was thinking.

"It's been that long?" Lin Yu's expression was a bit unpleasant; he didn't want to get too close to those generals.

"You can't ride a horse?"

"No, but I will ride a Dangerous Beast. Dangerous Beasts are strong and can withstand his power."

"Isn't it the same? Aren't they both riding?"

"Hiss...that makes some sense."

"Then come over here and sit with me behind me."

"real!"

"It's fake. Go sit in the carriage in the back." Esdeath chuckled lightly, while the other generals nearby broke out in a cold sweat. Trying to take advantage of the general? They were really courting death.

Lin Yu dismounted his warhorse and got into the carriage behind him.

The warhorse that was just beneath Lin Yu immediately ran to Esdeath, its eyes filled with relief at having survived a close call.

Three days later.........

In the heart of the empire, as the army marched south, temperatures began to rise quietly. Although it was autumn, the early autumn weather brought no discomfort; on the contrary, the occasional cool breeze was invigorating.

As they penetrated deeper into the heart of the empire, the outline of the capital gradually came into view. The army was about to reach the heart of the battle, the capital—a strategic location and the center of the fierce fighting that was about to unfold.

As the army approached, the merchants on the main road began to bustle about. As soon as they saw the army, they quickly moved their carriages aside, lowered their heads, and avoided eye contact with the soldiers.

However, when they caught a glimpse of the blue-haired female general at the front of the group, they couldn't help but show surprise.

"General Esdeath is back. Shouldn't she be on the battlefield in the far north?" a merchant whispered among himself.

"It can't be..." another merchant said, but then swallowed his words.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Look at the army’s morale. They don’t look defeated at all. They are clearly returning in triumph.” The third merchant interrupted their conversation.

"But a battle of that scale would take at least a year and a half to fight," the first merchant said, still somewhat doubtful.

The merchants' whispers revealed that their previous fear and resentment had vanished. If any army in the capital could win the support of the common people, it would be this one.

The army did not enter the capital directly, but instead advanced towards the military camps on the outskirts of the capital.

News of the great victory in the far north had reached back, and in front of the military camp, three generals were quietly awaiting Esdeath's return. They were Esdeath's confidants, all three being Imperial Arms users, collectively known as the Three Beast Warriors.

Among them was an elderly man dressed as a butler, named Riva. He was a former general of the empire who was imprisoned for offending powerful figures, but was later rescued by Esdeath and is extremely loyal to her.

His Imperial Arm is "Water Dragon Possession: Black Marin," a ring-shaped Imperial Arm that can manipulate any liquid.

The other burly man is named Daidas, a battle maniac. His Imperial Arm is called "Two Great Axes Belwak," which normally consists of two axes that can be separated and thrown. As long as the axes still have power, they will track the enemy.

The last "girl" who looks like a cute girl is named Niu. Although she looks adorable, she is actually a sissy, that is, a man dressed as a woman.

Neu's Imperial Arm is "Military Music Dream - Whisper," a flute that allows her to manipulate the emotions and physical state of enemies by playing different music. It is a support-type Imperial Arm.

At the entrance to the military camp, three generals stood ramrod straight, waiting for their general to return.

“General, you have worked hard. We have prepared a celebratory banquet for you.” An elderly man dressed as a butler, Riva, bowed slightly, his gesture revealing his respect and loyalty to the general. As the captain of the Three Beast Warriors, he was always the first to show his respect to Esdeath.

“The banquet can wait; I need to take you to see the Emperor first. But before that, I would like to introduce you to a new companion,” General Esdeath said, her voice firm and powerful.

The three beast warriors looked at each other, their hearts filled with curiosity.

"New companions? Has the general recruited new powerful warriors on the northern battlefield?" one of them asked doubtfully.

Esdeath nodded. "Yes, he is very powerful, although he can be a bit naive at times."

Hearing this, Riva frowned slightly. Could a naive person really become a general's capable assistant? But he quickly dismissed the thought, because it was Esdeath's decision, and he would obey unconditionally.

“I must warn you, his strength may be on par with mine, or even stronger. He once told me that he only showed a fraction of his power.” Esdeath’s words shocked the Three Beast Warriors.

"Not inferior to you, General?" one of them, Niu, asked incredulously.

"Lin Yu," Esdeath called out, and the three beast warriors immediately turned their gaze to the rear of the army.

A black-haired man, Lin Yu, walked slowly towards them. His figure was particularly striking under the sunlight.

“This is your new companion, Lin Yu. He was raised by a dangerous species,” Esdeath introduced.

“These three are my subordinates,” Esdeath continued.

Lin Yu nodded, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "I know, but they don't look like much."

This remark immediately displeased the three beastmen. Liva said sternly, "Watch your tone when you speak to the general."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, his attitude tinged with provocation, "Are you talking to me?" His words were full of power.

"Psychic power? Spell pressure." Lin Yu murmured, and a powerful psychic force surged out like a flood, firmly pressing Liva to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
