Give Zongman some collapse shock

I glanced at the door where faint cries could be heard.

Jiang Chen sat on the throne with his legs crossed and a lazy look on his face.

He pulled the purple-haired girl to his side, brazenly displaying his ambiguity and intimacy in such a solemn moment that would determine the fate of the empire. Seeing Mei blushing with shyness, yet still gently submitting to him, he felt even more pity for her.

Unfortunately, whenever the atmosphere between Jiang Chen and Mei Yi becomes ambiguous, there are always people who cannot understand the atmosphere.

"You scumbag! What do you mean? Mei is having a hard time, so it doesn't mean I am having a hard time too?"

The white-haired ball quickly rushed between the two of them and pulled Mei back a few steps, as if they were getting away from some source of pollution.

"..."

No, what do you mean?

Let's be honest, is it really worth caring about a guy who keeps asking for benefits as soon as you meet him, and who promises to have ten big meals in Shokugeki World before doing any real work?

Besides, why would I feel sorry for Mei and not for you? This kind of thing...

Jiang Chen had no expression on his face as he slowly took Kiana's hand, but was immediately thrown away.

"Don't touch me!"

After a pause, he held Mei's hand again.

The girl gave him a gentle smile.

"It wasn't hard at all. I took the initiative to come to this world and change things. I'm sorry that Mr. Jiang Chen made a special trip here, and I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Mei, you're so nice."

Jiang Chen hugged Mei tightly with a touched look on his face, then looked at Kiana expressionlessly.

High judgment.

Why do I feel sorry for Mei and not for you? Isn't this something that should be taken for granted?

"you!"

Kiana gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted to retort but didn't know how to start, so she was about to bite him.

However, Mei, whose patience had reached its limit, gave him a cold look.

"How many times? How many times? This white-haired pest, every time I finally find a chance to be alone with Mr. Jiang Chen, it will be interrupted by this white-haired pest! Enough! Enough! If you dare to mess around again, I will chop you into pieces right now!"

Shivering, the white-haired girl's eyes instantly cleared up. She habitually wanted to seek comfort from Jiang Chen or Mei Yi, but seeing the looks in their eyes, she could only puff out her lips in grievance and hide aside like a quail.

She muttered, "What? You're bullying me." "I'm pretty good too." "You don't even bother to comfort me."

Complete silence.

However, it also dispelled the original ambiguous atmosphere. Jiang Chen and Meiyi looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

One sat back on the throne, and the other stood beside him with a knife.

After a while, Jiang Chen said, "Bring everyone in."

The gate opened, and several dark elf soldiers, fully armed, escorted three people into the hall.

The young emperor of the empire.

Minister Ernest.

General Bud.

Jiang Chen looked down at the three of them.

Ernest was a huge man with white hair and beard, and a very strong physique. The fat on his face was trembling with fear, but the glint in his eyes showed that he was obviously still thinking about something.

The young emperor was as expected, with green hair, young, and naive. He had already realized that he, the most noble of the empire, had been reduced to a prisoner. His eyes were slightly red, and tears still lingered on his face.

General Bud, on the other hand, had a ferocious and indignant look on his face, and was quite dissatisfied with being captured.

Jiang Chen laughed out of anger. There was nothing much to say about the first two, but why was this Bud not convinced?

"It seems you have a lot to say. Is the empire the strongest?"

He sneered, as if he were looking at a fool.

"Shut up, you traitor! How dare you treat His Majesty like this, and with such despicable means... Are you afraid of me? Ha~ How could such lowly villains as you possibly have the guts to fight me head-on!"

Kiana denounced all imperial officials and nobles as evil. Naturally, she wouldn't discuss morality with the villains. Using the most efficient method, she cast the power of her consciousness into a state of dormancy throughout the palace, then dispatched the elven soldiers to capture prisoners.

Bud, the so-called strongest of the empire, was defeated in his sleep without even a hint of resistance.

Naturally, I won't accept it.

But such a loser's point of view will only appear ridiculous.

"Regardless of the means, Bud. As a guard protecting the palace, you failed to sense the danger. In any case, it is your dereliction of duty."

He waved his hand, obviously unwilling to argue with Bud about the issues of means and responsibilities.

Although feudal society itself was inherently dark, these three individuals were undoubtedly the culprits of the empire's decay, the great sinners who personally created this purgatory on earth. The previous emperor was not so incompetent, and after being poisoned by Onesworth, the throne passed to the young emperor.

The young emperor was deceived by his minister, Ernest, and blindly obeyed him, thus beginning a brutal reign. There's little to say. No matter how innocent the young emperor was, could he be worse off than the common people? For those in power, incompetence is a sin, even if young and ignorant.

Ernest, pure bad, skip it.

However, Bud is different from the above two people.

He spoke to Kiana and Mei as if sharing a funny story.

"He was a great general of the Empire, wielding military power. His strength was so immense that he was hailed as the strongest. Yet, this man, possessing the power to change everything, knowing full well that the Empire was decaying and aware of Ernest's evil deeds, he, adhering to the ancestral precept that military generals should not interfere in government affairs, allowed the Empire to fall into turmoil, the people to suffer, and loyal officials to be framed and murdered."

Having the ability but not taking action.

Having conscience but not taking action.

"What exactly is this loyalty you speak of? Is it your stupidity, your arrogance, or perhaps it's your willingness to watch your lord be deceived while you uphold your title of the strongest and await orders?"

Jiang Chen expressed his disgust and contempt without any scruples.

In his opinion, Bud was the most disgusting guy among the three.

They wait for the emperor's orders before taking action, disregarding the well-being of their country and family. They know small etiquette but lack great righteousness, and are obsessed with small details but lack great virtue. Forget loyal ministers, even treacherous ministers are far better than these machines that can only act according to a set program.

"The person who promoted a tool like you to the position of general is truly a blind and incompetent ruler."

"Asshole! How dare you insult me, how dare you insult the late emperor!"

Bud struggled violently but was held down by the elven soldiers.

Jiang Chen snorted softly: "Forget it, even though he's a disgusting guy, he still has a certain reputation among the people. There's really no benefit in publicly executing him. So let's recycle the waste and test the strength of the imperial weapon. Meiyi, can I ask you for a favor?"

"No problem, Mr. Jiang Chen."

Mei smiled and looked at the man below coldly.

I didn't have any feelings for Bud.

But now, after Jiang Chen's explanation, the sins of this foolishly loyal general are even more serious than those of a pure villain.

Chapter 116 The Thunder welcomed their majestic queen.

Imperial Arena.

A huge building shaped like the Roman Colosseum.

Unlike the previous times when every opening would be accompanied by cheers, the fighting arena was now silent.

Served by the royal maids, Jiang Chen and the others took the best seats for the best views. While savoring the desserts they brought from the Shokugeki world, they speculated about the battle that would soon unfold below.

The ordinary seats closest to the arena were filled with trembling imperial officials and nobles.

They looked at the tall figure in armor on the arena, as if they saw hope. They were all excited and cheered for him in their hearts.

As for the surface?

Submissive and timid.

There is an elf soldier standing behind each person, with a knife at his neck. Who dares to make a sound?

"Speaking of which, the imperial weapon in Zanmei's world is quite interesting."

Using legendary super dangerous species as materials, combined with rare metals such as Orichalcum and a large number of lost secret techniques, forty-eight unreplicable weapons were developed and called [Imperial Equipment].

Each imperial weapon has unique abilities.

Although compared to the levels of Herrscher, God, and Shipgirl, the strength of the Imperial Tool is not even considered a consumable.

But it is perfect for soldiers.

"If I use Brie's ability..."

Belfast thought for a moment and said, "Commander, we have the conditions to mass-produce imperial weapons, but is it really necessary?"

The Imperial Weapons are a set of forty-eight weapons ordered by the founding emperor of the empire. Due to the loss of technology and material limitations, they have become limited edition equipment.

The magic of Bree lies in the fact that, with just a blueprint, it doesn't involve mana, Honkai energy, or other unexplained energies, and can be transformed and manufactured regardless of the material or the complexity of the process. In other words, give Bree a blueprint, and she can create an imperial weapon with just a wrench, without even needing to learn.

Even for those extinct super-dangerous species, as long as they are not monsters, Bri can use steel to knock out their biological organs.

Well, it can be called the world's biggest bug.

Of course, the problem now is that the intensity is too low.

With the firepower coverage of the ship girls, the elf soldiers have become useless and cannot participate in the real war.

"It's really unnecessary, but it's just sitting there anyway. There are so many materials in the warehouse, it's better to use them somewhere than just leave them gathering dust. Besides, there's room for the Imperial Weapons to grow. The engraving of sacred characters and the transformation of Type-Moon magic can both increase their power. Besides, giving the forgers some practice can also be a reason to produce."

Jiang Chen shrugged, looking nonchalant.

There is another reason.

Even if the elf soldiers are used as cannon fodder, it is impossible for their strength to remain unchanged.

Otherwise, in the future, when we face stronger opponents, we won’t even be able to escort prisoners like we do now, and that would be a lot of fun.

"Okay, Befa, don't worry. We don't need to worry about material consumption. Let's focus on the test first."

The fighting arena below.

Budd put on his imperial weapon [Thunder God's Wrath, Adrameleth]

It was an armor-shaped imperial weapon that possessed the power to manipulate thunder.

He stared at Mei opposite him fiercely, as if he was looking at a prey.

"I take back what I said before. You are not cowards, but ignorant lunatics. You actually returned the imperial weapon. I will make you regret this decision. I will kill you immediately, then your monarch, and those long-eared aliens."

He didn't know the enemy's origins, but with the imperial weapon, Bud had the pride of being the strongest in the empire.

He was known as the strongest and most powerful of the empire, the twin pillars of the empire, precisely because of his sheer power. As long as he lived, the empire would never collapse.

This is also the reason why he let Ernest go. No matter how things develop, he can turn the tide and rebuild the country.

"ridiculous."

Meiyi looked disdainful and didn't even take out the Seven Purgatory Thunders, fearing that Bud would kill him and his imperial weapon. She simply held onto a Level 1 adventurer weapon, and in her heart, she once again agreed with Jiang Chen's theory.

This Bud is not as evil as Ernest, but he is even more disgusting.

“An ant that reaches the wellhead but dares not look up at the sky.”

The girl swung the long sword, and red electricity flashed.

Bud was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

The woman in front of him actually looked down on him.

Knowing that he was the strongest in the empire and possessed an imperial weapon that could control thunder, he still used lightning to provoke him.

Suddenly, murderous intent surged in Bud's heart: "Don't think that just because you have an Imperial Gear, you can challenge me. You dare to be so reckless, I'll let you know that there are differences between Imperial Gear Users!"

"Oh!"

The ground beneath his feet crumbled, his arms were wrapped in lightning, and he rushed forward with fierce momentum.

At a distance of ten meters, he suddenly stopped and thrust out with both fists. A huge ball of lightning shot out like a cannonball.

"Ordinary electrical energy, a crude application through the guidance of an appliance, is that all?"

Mei didn't dodge or evade.

Without even using a weapon, she simply raised her hand. A surge of Houkai energy spread, instantly seizing control of the lightning. The lightning, stained red, seemed to transform from a ferocious beast into a docile creature. It compressed and condensed at incredible speed, becoming a plaything in the girl's palm.
