"No wonder the Empire wants to occupy the land here in the South. The temperature is moderate, making it suitable for farming... Even I want to snatch it away!"
Cerydra of Amphoreus was also the Empress of the Northern Country, but she later went to Ochma... It could only be said that the environment of the Northern Country was truly poor. Not only was it difficult to develop, but even basic survival was not easy.
If she conquered the Empire and then relocated the capital, would her roleplay progress increase? If there was a great ethnic integration then...
"Honestly, what's the point of me thinking about this now? Let's just trust in the wisdom of future generations!"
Unlike certain people in reality, the Northern Country led by Cerydra would never experience situations where people sabotaged each other.
"That's a problem left behind by my predecessor."
"Trust in the wisdom of future generations."
Although there was nothing inherently wrong with these two statements, using them together made it easy for certain people to use them as excuses. Cerydra would never allow such a thing to happen.
As a ruler, she naturally had to fulfill all her duties properly, rather than leaving a shattered mess for her successors. That would only lead to the demise of the Northern Country!
Moreover, conquest was a gradual process. If she took steps that were too large, she might end up getting stuck...
As time ticked by, Cerydra quickly led her army to conquer numerous territories for the Northern Country, charging straight toward the Royal Capital of the Empire at maximum speed.
This was a blitzkrieg!
While rapidly capturing cities, they simultaneously inflicted the maximum psychological pressure on the Empire!
However, didn't everything seem to be going a little too smoothly?
No matter how strong the Northern Country's army was, it was impossible for the Imperial Army to collapse at the first touch, or even flee so hastily. Even if the enemy deliberately tried to hide it, Cerydra could still notice their little tricks.
Unless this was the Empire's own intention, everything around them was highly suspicious!
Cerydra furrowed her brows slightly. She knew this was definitely a trap set by the Empire, designed to lure her to the Royal Capital...
But so what?
The Revolutionary Army had already dropped such obvious hints. If Cerydra still couldn't figure it out, it would only prove that she was an idiot!
"I'm not March 7th, and I wouldn't be as foolishly naive as March 7th... I am Cerydra, the Empress who bears the weight of countless lives!"
By now, the Northern Country had pushed the front lines to a few dozen kilometers outside the Imperial Capital. As long as they continued to advance, they could continuously deal damage to the Empire.
However, Imperator merely glanced at the situation on the map before immediately issuing orders to her subordinates. She didn't choose a rushed assault, but rather chose to encircle them!
Even though it wouldn't be long before Cerydra and Hysilens disappeared from this world, vanishing completely without a trace.
But even so, she, Cerydra, had served as the Empress of the Northern Country, its sovereign, and she couldn't let her subordinates throw their lives away so easily.
Even if they had to die, their deaths had to have meaning!
Soon, the Royal Capital of the Empire fell completely into the Northern Country's encirclement. They could now launch an indiscriminate, 360-degree bombardment on the entire Royal Capital without any blind spots.
"It's come to this, and there's still no reaction at all?" Looking at the Royal Capital that was close at hand yet resembled an empty city, Cerydra raised an eyebrow, her lips gradually curving upward.
"Then I'm going to give you an unforgettable lesson!"
In a few swift movements, Cerydra leaped up from Wild Flute's back, landing on top of the giant beast's head, and looked toward the distant Imperial Capital.
"Wild Flute, are you okay with this?"
The petite Empress didn't explain directly, but the Dromas beneath her let out a sound of agreement, and even the expression on its face gradually grew resolute.
"All forces, hear my command! Charge with me!"
The moment the order was given, the Dromas, Wild Flute, let out an earth-shattering roar. His voice caused the ground within a ten-kilometer radius to tremble, like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
However, this was only the beginning.
As the giant beast's body began to run, the tremors in the earth grew increasingly severe. With every step Wild Flute took forward, he kicked up massive clouds of dust. At the same time, his size began to grow, becoming more and more terrifying.
From the perspective of the Imperial Capital, that constantly growing monster wasn't some Super Class Danger Beast at all; it was a sprinting mountain that could smash open the Imperial Capital's walls at any moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As this mountain drew closer and closer to the Royal Capital, this seemingly "empty city" obviously couldn't remain peaceful any longer.
Ding!
As a laser sliced through the Castle in the center of the Royal Capital, those buildings were entirely reduced to ruins. A colossal figure suddenly stood up from the rubble, its height actually not losing out to Cerydra's Wild Flute in the slightest!
"It finally showed up, huh? Shikoutazer!"
If one were to ask what the most powerful Teigu in the Akame ga Kill World was, only three choices would appear in Cerydra's mind.
The first was Esdeath's Demon's Extract, which possessed the power to manipulate ice and freeze time.
The second was Shikoutazer, a Teigu that possessed incredibly strong lore in the original work but lacked much of a showing in the anime. But even so, Shikoutazer's exaggerated size wasn't something ordinary people could deal with.
The third... Heh!
Best not to mention it, because that Teigu had already been completely destroyed by Hysilens and would never appear in the world again.
And now, with no one capable of using Demon's Extract, the Shikoutazer, Primus Imperator, was the final boss. As long as they could clear it, Cerydra and Hysilens would be able to leave this world.
"Therefore, Wild Flute, show your strength as a Super Class Danger Beast and a Chrysos Heir! Win a glimmer of dawn for the future of the Northern Country!"
Under Cerydra's command, Wild Flute fully focused his attention on the giant in the center of the Imperial Capital, the strides beneath his feet growing wider and wider.
However, that giant didn't give Wild Flute the chance to continue his charge. Instead, it fired a laser capable of destroying everything, not hesitating even if it meant turning a portion of the people in the Royal Capital to ash.
However, this powerful laser attack was unexpectedly dodged by Wild Flute, who altered his body size to evade it?
No, it wasn't an accident at all, but a premeditated move!
"How could this happen? Minister, what should we do?"
Seeing this, the Little Emperor inside Primus Imperator also panicked. His attack hadn't dealt any damage to the enemy, but had instead turned a portion of his own Imperial Capital to dust. Therefore, he could only pin his hopes on the Minister.
"Do not panic, Your Majesty."
Honest's steady voice echoed in his ear, immediately allowing the panicked Little Emperor to compose himself.
"Everyone here belongs to the Empire. They will surely understand what you just did. It was a... necessary sacrifice made to eliminate the enemy!"
"A sacrifice? I understand, Minister! But even so, I don't want the Royal Capital to turn into a battlefield!"
The Little Emperor manipulated Shikoutazer, beginning to run in Wild Flute's direction, its speed growing faster and faster.
Subsequently, Wild Flute smashed through the Empire's walls, and Shikoutazer trampled out countless massive craters. Ultimately, both sides still engaged in combat within the bounds of the Royal Capital. Their colossal bodies collided, generating a terrifying shockwave.
As for the operators of the two great killing weapons, Cerydra and the Little Emperor also noticed each other's existence for the first time, laying eyes upon their enemy.
"Get out of my Empire!"
Although he wasn't old, the Little Emperor was royalty after all, and he possessed an unshakable aura of majesty.
But Cerydra was different. She lifted her head in contempt, looking down at Shikoutazer and the Little Emperor inside it.
Then, Imperator extended her right hand and gave a thumbs up, before slowly rotating her wrist, pointing her thumb downward...
After so long, I've finally met someone shorter than me!
I'll show you!
