Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week
Chapter 843 - 823: Lone Courage to Assassinate the King (Part 2)
It was like being six years old again, when he was poisoned by that woman, lying on the ground, with no one around stepping forward to save him.
Every face looked full of malice.
No, I don't want to die!
Ganishka was filled with unwillingness in his heart; he had not proven his ability, nor had he conquered the world.
Blood flowed from his neck all the way down to his waist.
There was a strangely shaped egg there.
This was a wondrous stone that Ganishka had obtained from the palace treasury as a child.
Blood flowed into the stone.
Pop, the bulging parts of the stone's surface suddenly opened, revealing pairs of scarlet eyes.
They stared at Ganishka, absorbing the blood.
A mysterious light flashed.
The egg seemed to merge into Ganishka's body.
The previously bleeding and weakened body suddenly became filled with power.
"Ah!"
Ganishka let out a shout, the blood on his body suddenly evaporating, turning into a bluish-purple mist, and even his body turned into mist.
He lost his human shape and appeared inside the tent in a state of mist, his body swelling to nearly reach the top of the tent.
Crackle.
Lightning flickered in the mist, and the maidservants and generals around witnessed this scene, showing astonishment on their faces.
Ganishka also looked down at his hands, after a brief moment of confusion, he quickly understood what had happened to him.
He had become an Angel Envoy!
"Hahahaha!"
Ganishka let out a wild laugh, then swept a fierce gaze over the generals and maidservants.
With one look, he frightened them directly, forcing them all to kneel down, shouting: "Emperor."
"You dare betray me?"
Facing Ganishka's anger, a general mustered the courage to say: "We are following your orders, you didn't let us act, how could we dare to act?"
"Shut up, I don't want to hear your excuses!"
Ganishka roared, then shouted outside the tent: "Someone, drag these people out and execute them with a thousand cuts!"
The guards outside stormed into the tent.
They didn't care at all that the ones standing inside were the high-ranked officers of the Kusha Army.
The Emperor wanted them dead.
Then they would just follow orders.
The guards seized and dragged the people away, shocked by Ganishka's current appearance, yet they said nothing.
Ganishka quickly reverted to his original form, looking at the shattered Jade Elephant on the ground, he also thought of that man.
"Milante!"
Anger surged in Ganishka's heart, having been played by that guy's tricks.
Thinking of how he foolishly followed Milante's lead, suspecting those generals, he flew into a rage, shouting: "Someone! Capture the Tulip Delegation, hang them outside, I want them executed with a thousand cuts!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, a soldier withdrew to convey his orders.
Ganishka's fury had not subsided, he shouted: "Transmit my order, strike camp, and attack the Tulip Kingdom!"
As an Angel Envoy, he had enough confidence to overturn the allied forces of surrounding countries, so no need to worry anymore.
He wanted to destroy that country, along with all scholars and books.
He would make the Tulip Kingdom barren, killing everyone.
"By the way, transmit my order, capture Milante, do not rush to kill him, I want him to see how his country is ravaged by me!"
Ganishka changed his mind again; killing Milante easily was too cheap for that bastard.
He wanted Milante to be in unbearable pain!
The camp was bustling, the bugle for striking camp echoed.
While they were sending orders, Milante took advantage of a seized horse to return to the guard, hurriedly shouting: "The Emperor has urgent business, we do not need to stay here.
Everyone mount up, the women too, but leave the treasures!
The guards had wanted to leave for a long time, upon hearing this, no one dared to delay.
Milante shouted: "All of you make way! Do not delay the Emperor's urgent business!"
The surrounding soldiers never expected that Milante dared to assassinate the Emperor, they thought he had the Emperor's orders, and made way for him.
The group quickly rode towards the outside.
Milante did not hold back, relying on the Emperor's prestige, he charged to the camp gate, then rushed out.
At that moment, the sound of bugles in the camp rose and fell, with related orders reaching below one by one as messengers delivered them.
Milante ran out of the camp gate, but was not in a hurry. He looked back at the bustling camp, frowning slightly.
Strange, the death of Emperor Kusha should not have caused such a reaction among the internal leaders.
Unless Emperor Kusha is not dead.
He had a bad premonition in his heart.
For the injury to such an extent, there are only two possibilities if Ganishka is not dead.
One is that there's an Angel Envoy loyal to the emperor in the Kusha army, healing him.
The other possibility is that the emperor has transformed into an Angel Envoy.
As for someone using a Noble Phantasm to treat the emperor's injuries, that's impossible.
The reactions of the surrounding generals were so indifferent; not killing Ganishka already showed they feared his previous ferocity.
"Trouble."
Milante felt a storm sweeping across the Eastern Continent was about to hit.
...
Two days later, at the border between Saka and the Tulip Kingdom.
The rumbling thunder echoed across the sky, and Baron Modeng, who stayed at the border of his own accord, climbed the watchtower.
The watchtower built with logs looked very simple, but there was no other way.
Relying on the name of the country of scholars and spending a lot of money on the military nation Saka, the Tulip Kingdom had had long-lasting peace, and the military strength had been cut repeatedly.
The three hundred people here were private soldiers paid for by Modeng; he didn't run away with the other nobles, as his heart was naturally focused on the survival of the Tulip Kingdom.
Unlike those nobles who only cared about profits, Modeng was a true noble, caring for his people and the future of the Tulip Kingdom.
He climbed the watchtower and saw three white horses running from afar.
Only one person was driving the three horses.
The person's golden hair was stuck with blood, and the luxurious clothing he wore was tattered.
Looking haggard, he gazed at the watchtower ahead.
Milante shouted loudly: "Run!"
At this moment, the sensation of earth shaking became more pronounced, as if an earthquake was about to hit, and Modeng watched as a black tide rolled over the horizon.
He gasped, hurriedly saying downward: "Quick! All hands mount up!"
That black tide was people.
Those people were riding horses, their mouths emitting beast-like roars.
What puzzled Modeng was the weapons and armor those people held; they were clearly Saka soldiers.
What's going on?
Wasn't Saka defeated by Kusha?
Modeng mounted his horse, and the soldiers in the camp also mounted theirs.
Milante rushed over.
The soldiers and women accompanying the guards had already been killed by the slave army behind them.
He was the only one left alive.
With eyes bloodshot, he was 100% sure Ganishka wasn't dead.
That tyrant really became an Angel Envoy!
Remembering the massive figure formed from mist by the opponent, Milante felt both depressed and helpless.
"What's happening?"
Modeng caught up with Milante, asking loudly.
Milante quickly answered: "Those are Saka soldiers defeated and captured by Kusha, losing all will to resist, like beasts driven by Kusha.
They are more brutal and crazy than Kusha!"
"Weren't you negotiating peace with Kusha?"
"It failed; I saw the emperor of Kusha doesn't seem like someone who would negotiate peace, so I decided to assassinate him."
Milante did not hide the truth.
He saw Baron Modeng staying here clearly a true faithful person, "You also don't believe the emperor will give up attacking the Tulip Kingdom, right."
Modeng was silent, naturally understanding Kusha's ambitions, "You attempted to assassinate the emperor, yet you managed to escape intact?"
"I was successful initially; who knew Ganishka transformed into an Angel Envoy for some unknown reason."
"What?!"
Modeng was shocked, muttering: "It's over, the Tulip Kingdom is going to be destroyed today!"
"Not just that; we must quickly notify the residents to flee, run as far as they can!"
Milante understood that what Kusha wanted was not conquest, but endless enslavement and war.
Ganishka's ambition would not stop with the unification of the Eastern Continent, but would continue to drive his army to destroy enemies until the day of extinction.
He was such a terrifying guy.
