"Messages regarding sightings of a giant Danger Beast have appeared along the coast of the Northern Territory Empire. If I am not mistaken, it is the Super Danger Beast we observed earlier!"
"Judging by its path, its final destination is the snow mountain. Even strictly trained soldiers would find it impossible to subjugate such a giant beast."
"That is why I have summoned all of you here today!"
The massive circular council hall was already filled with Golden Descendantss. Looking at the number of people, it seemed to have reached several hundred.
Clearly, after a period of recruiting and the various military exploits achieved by the soldiers, Cerydra had created even more Golden Descendantss, with the number exceeding eight hundred.
Due to space limitations, only a portion had gathered here for now. Not all Golden Descendantss had arrived, and soldiers would notify the rest later.
"When you think about it carefully, only the Golden Descendantss can face a Super Danger Beast that ordinary people cannot. Even with a Teigu User, it still falls short by a margin..."
After Cerydra finished speaking, she fell silent, scanning the surrounding Golden Descendantss one by one, waiting for their input.
"So, Lord Caesar, do you mean you want us, the Golden Descendantss, to form an army to jointly subjugate that Super Danger Beast?"
"Lord Caesar, if you truly want to subjugate that Super Danger Beast, you can just issue the order. Why summon us here to discuss it?"
Soon, some of the smarter Golden Descendantss below the stage voiced their thoughts. As supporters of Caesar, they naturally knew that the monarch before them was no ordinary person.
Though small in stature, she has great capabilities!
Therefore, they immediately judged that Caesar had concerns. To put it in those words, it was something like...
Lord Caesar must have a profound reason for doing this, right?
Seeing that the time was right, Cerydra then tapped the ground lightly with her scepter.
Although the sound was not loud, all the Golden Descendantss present could hear it. All discussions vanished at that moment, and they were all waiting for Caesar's next words.
"Issuing a direct order is indeed a good method, but if I do not listen to the voices of everyone, I will surely become complacent and end up in total failure."
In the Akame ga Kill World, there is no world-ending crisis like in Amphoreus, and the system does not limit Cerydra's time either; it even said, 'If Cerydra does not complete the mission, she will stay in this world forever.'
Therefore, Caesar does not need to rush at all. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. If she wants to create a powerful Northern Territory Empire according to the system's requirements, some necessary steps cannot be skipped.
Otherwise, once Caesar leaves, this kingdom will inevitably collapse immediately.
Cerydra could certainly wash her hands of everything immediately after completing the mission, completely ignoring what might happen in the future... but if she did that, it would surely lower her role-play rating, right?
Simply put, Cerydra has only two missions in this world: First, overthrow the empire and establish her own nation. Second, recruit five original characters as subordinates.
But in reality, there is another very important thing that has never been written in the missions, and that is the final rating of the mission. That is, the role-play!
There are ratings for the role-play of Cerydra and Hysilens!
If one wants to play these two roles well, one must think from the perspective of the characters, not from a god's-eye view.
Since one is a character in the play, one must think about the affairs within the play.
If I were Cerydra, what kind of empire would I build?
The Cerydra from the game's plot, even if she died, left behind enough contingencies to ensure that the journey of chasing fire could continue.
Therefore, the current Cerydra judges that if she wants to improve her role-play rating, she must build an 'empire that can continue to exist even if she leaves.'
Additionally, since Cerydra's identity is the 'Demigod of Law', she naturally must use the greatest power to correct this corrupt world.
Thinking of this, Cerydra was already feeling a bit overwhelmed. This was just the role-play of one character, and she still had Hysilens here!
However, compared to Cerydra, Hysilens is much better off. In the vast majority of cases, she only needs to follow Caesar's orders. Only in very rare cases would she oppose Cerydra, but that kind of thing is impossible to happen in this Akame ga Kill World.
She was also a bit glad that the first pair of partners she drew was Cerydra and Hysilens. If a situation actually arose where she had to oppose each other and fight herself, it would be really hard to handle...
Sigh, it still has to go on!
Her thoughts gradually returned to the council hall, and Cerydra stated her ideas.
"This time, the subjugation of the Super Danger Beast will not call upon any ordinary soldiers; only the Golden Descendantss will accompany me into battle."
"Since we do not know the strength of the Super Danger Beast, we must mobilize the vast majority of Golden Descendantss to participate in the battle to have a chance of victory."
The people below the stage nodded one by one. They also agreed with Cerydra's idea. After all, everyone present had never seen a Super Danger Beast, and they naturally had a certain amount of awe for such legendary creatures.
Having the Golden Descendantss form an army to conduct the subjugation battle can minimize casualties to the greatest extent and also prevent them from being distracted by worrying about soldiers during the battle. It is indeed very appropriate.
"But while we are subjugating the Super Danger Beast, can the remaining Golden Descendantss guard the Northern Territory Empire?"
Through spies in the Northern Country, Cerydra was very clear that Honest seemed to have become interested in her... No, he must have already noticed her!
In order to eliminate the threat of Cerydra, would Honest let go of this opportunity when she is away? Certainly not!
Through her understanding of the Akame ga Kill World, Cerydra could assert that as long as she left the royal capital to participate in the subjugation battle, the royal capital would inevitably be attacked!
Teigu Users, the Imperial Fist Temple, assassination squads... these guys would definitely arrive one after another, and they could even manage to slaughter the city. Ordinary soldiers would not be able to defend the royal capital against this group of scum.
After hearing Cerydra's thoughts, the Golden Descendantss present almost all frowned, because this was indeed a major problem.
There is no way to determine the strength of the Super Danger Beast, so powerful Golden Descendantss must be sent.
There is no way to determine the time of the empire's attack, so one must be on high alert at all times.
If these two problems cannot be solved, it will not just be as simple as a failure of the subjugation; it might even lead to the collapse of the royal capital!
For the newborn Northern Territory Empire, either outcome is an absolute slap in the face, enough to make the Northern Territory Empire a laughingstock of the world! Once you become a clown on the international stage, it will be hard to be a normal person again!
"What if I defend the royal capital?" Esdeath stood up at this moment, but was directly rejected by Cerydra.
"Dux Frigium, you are an important combat force in the subjugation battle, and like the Daughter of the Sea, your absence is absolutely not allowed!"
"In other words, we can only choose from the remaining Golden Descendantss?"
Esdeath could not help but frown. Although there were some talented individuals among this group, there was still a gap compared to her.
She had also seen the combat power of the empire's Teigu Users, and if they came stronger than the last time, the collapse of the royal capital would be a certainty.
"In that case, let me guard the royal capital."
A clear female voice rang out from the crowd, immediately attracting everyone's attention. That was a 'handsome guy' with white hair and a voluptuous figure.
Former Imperial General, Najenda!
"Najenda, watch your status. You are just a surrendered general; what qualifications do you have to guard the royal capital?"
"Lord Caesar, leave the choice of who to guard the royal capital to me!"
"And me! We will definitely block the empire's surprise attack and watch you return in triumph with our own eyes!"
Although Najenda successfully joined the Northern Territory Empire and gained more powerful strength than before, this did not mean she could be accepted by the people of the Northern Country, at least not in the short term.
However, facing the requests of the Golden Descendantss, Caesar turned a deaf ear and stared at Najenda with sharp eyes.
"Kindness Duke, based on your understanding of the empire, who would Honest send to attack the royal capital? Do you have the confidence to win?"
"It will most likely be several of my former colleagues."
The figures of several generals gradually emerged in her mind. Najenda touched the pumpkin in her arms, "As for the winning rate... facing all of them now, my win rate is 80%!"
As a former Imperial general, Najenda naturally knew the intelligence inside the empire. General Budo would definitely not go out to fight, and the rest of those generals... were all worthless.
And Najenda, having become a Golden Descendants, had seen her strength increase by at least ten times! Looking at her former colleagues, they were simply asking for death!
"Very good!" Cerydra nodded with satisfaction, then shifted her gaze to the green-haired Lubbock behind Najenda.
"Since you are so confident, the task of guarding the royal capital will be left to you and the Pure Love Duke."
Cerydra's voice was unquestionable.
"But just in case, I will leave some manpower to help you."
"Fire Cloud Duke, Illusion Sky Duke, Thunder Rush Duke, Flash Spirit Duke, Blood Mark Duke, Tsunami Duke, Seven Injuries Duke, Slim Duke..."
"These eight people are handed over to your command. As for the rest... all of them will be committed to the subjugation battle against the Super Danger Beast!"
