Two years later, the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Palace.
"Reporting, Your Majesty, 400,000 barbarian troops from the north are invading the border! It's an emergency! Dozens of towns have already fallen!"
Looking disheveled, covered in blood, and exhausted from a long journey, a soldier knelt in the court, urgently addressing the young emperor on the throne.
"What? The barbarians are invading again!"
"400,000 troops! What are we going to do… what are we going to do…"
"Damn it, what are those border guards doing!"
…
The soldier's words shocked the entire court. Civil and military officials were all greatly alarmed. An invasion by 400,000 barbarian troops was a major event!
"Ah? The northern barbarians are invading!"
Suddenly standing up, the young emperor on the throne was also taken aback. He had just quelled the rebellion of the southwestern barbarians a few years ago, so how could another group of northern barbarians appear now?
"Silence! Everyone, don't panic. Our empire is strong and well-equipped. No matter how fierce the barbarians are, they are no match for our empire."
Having sat on the throne for a few years, the young emperor quickly calmed down. He exuded an aura of dominance and waved the scepter in his hand, actually suppressing the group of panicked officials.
"Minister, the barbarians are going to war with our empire again. What do you think we should do?"
Putting on the airs of an emperor was fine, but asking the young emperor to handle these major national affairs like a king was purely nonsense. He habitually turned his gaze to the minister standing next to him.
"Well, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. They are just a small group of rabble! You only need to order General Sora and General Esdeath to lead troops to quell the rebellion. The small barbarians are completely insignificant."
Without the panicked look of the others, the minister continued to munch on the meat in his hand, speaking slowly and calmly.
"General Sora… General Esdeath… Oh, right, right, right, as long as those two generals take action, there will definitely be no problem!"
Initially, there was some confusion in his expression, but after being reminded by the minister, the young emperor finally remembered that there were two invincible generals in his empire! Since there was going to be a war, naturally they had to be sent!
"That's right, we still have General Sora and General Esdeath!"
"Yes, yes, if those two strongest in the empire take action, there will definitely be no problem!"
"Your Majesty is wise, long live the empire…"
…
Like the young emperor, these palace ministers finally remembered. The previous panic and unease were swept away, and they all returned to their usual flattering appearances.
It was quite speechless. Since the last southwestern barbarian rebellion, the empire had barely been peaceful for a few years. Sora and Esdeath, who usually didn't have much to do, hadn't been to the palace for almost a few years!
Tsk tsk, taking the country's salary and living a luxurious and decadent life, except for the minister who still remembered them, everyone else had almost forgotten about them!
"Order General Sora and General Esdeath to quell the rebellion of the northern barbarians. Depart immediately, without delay!"
Although he had almost forgotten about those two generals, he had no doubt about their strength. The young emperor waved his scepter and ordered the guards below.
…
"Master, Esdeath-sama, a palace messenger just came to report that the northern barbarians have rebelled and ordered us to depart immediately to quell the rebellion."
Walking in from outside the door, looking at Sora and Esdeath, who were sitting together looking bored, Seryu reported with a normal expression.
"Barbarian rebellion… really!!!"
Hearing Seryu's voice, Esdeath, who was originally sitting on Sora, suddenly stood up. A sharp light flashed in her ice-blue eyes, and she had an expression of incomparable excitement.
"Hey… finally arrived!"
Stroking his chin, Sora, sitting in the chair, also had a strange arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha, darling, finally, we can have a big fight again!"
Although she spends her days training the little sisters at home and then having a few "battles" with her darling at night, life is pretty good. However, as a natural battle maniac, Esdeath hasn't tasted fresh blood in a long time. If she doesn't let her vent, she's going to burst!
"Okay, Esdeath, although I know you're excited, don't worry. This time, I'll let you have enough fun."
"Seryu, go and call all those crazy girls back."
While pulling Esdeath back into his arms, Sora instructed Seryu.
"Yes, Master."
Without any questions, Seryu retreated.
"Darling, I'm already about to burst! Once those girls are all here, let's set off immediately!"
Her slender arms wrapped around Sora's neck, and the excited Esdeath couldn't wait to fly to the battlefield to kill and enjoy herself to the fullest.
"Hehe, that won't do. I can't leave yet."
Playing with Esdeath's ice-blue hair with one hand, Sora said with a smile.
"Darling, aren't you coming with us? Such an interesting thing."
Frowning, Esdeath asked with some confusion.
"Ah, Najenda and the others should be back soon too. The real show is just about to begin. I still have important things to do in the Imperial Capital and can't leave for the time being. Tomorrow morning, you can take the guardian girls to play first."
A strange color flashed in his eyes, and Sora replied meaningfully.
"Well, since you still have things to do, darling, then we'll go ahead."
"Don't worry, we finally waited for this opportunity, we won't finish playing so quickly. You have to come quickly, darling."
Esdeath never questioned Sora's decisions, and she nodded in agreement.
Although the little emperor's order was for the two of them to set off immediately, these two guys obviously had no intention of obeying.
"Hehe, if I remember correctly, this time the opponent is that northern foreign prince named Numa Seika. He seems to have some skills, enough to keep you entertained for a while."
Recalling some information from the original work, Sora smiled wickedly.
Although that prince seems to be very powerful, having integrated the entire northern foreign tribes and never having been defeated before meeting Esdeath, that poor guy can only become a plaything in the hands of this super-S queen in the end.
"Hey… I'm really looking forward to it!"
Licking her thin lips, Esdeath had a bloodthirsty and cruel smile on her face. Hearing Sora's words, she was relieved. If the prey is too weak, she won't be able to enjoy herself!
As the two were talking, the girls at home walked in one after another. They had already heard about the expedition to quell the rebellion, and their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.
"You've all heard about the expedition, right? Don't hold back, enjoy yourselves to the fullest!"
Looking at this group of female demons who had been pent up for several years, Sora stood up, and a wicked arc also appeared at the corner of his mouth…
