Chapter 106 The Empire's Strongest General Gets Instantly Killed
General Bude didn't ask the guards why they hadn't captured the intruder, because the dozen or so guards lying on the ground groaning in pain had already given the answer.
The reason why the guards did not take out their guns to attack was mainly because firing guns in the palace was taboo.
"Who are you? Don't you know that trespassing into the palace is a serious crime?"
General Bude walked out through the passage cleared by the palace guards, his imposing appearance clearly indicating that he was a capable speaker.
Broly had been showing his shopping receipts for a while, and thinking the information in his head was useless, he was about to try a different way of communicating when a different person came out.
Broly immediately felt that the communication method in his mind was working, and said directly, "You can call me Sheep Baloo. I didn't mean to trespass here. I just wanted to do business with the Empire, but the people at the door disagreed, so I came in."
"Doing business?"
General Bude frowned.
"What kind of business do you want to do with the Empire?"
"It's a business deal involving Imperial Arms. I heard that the Imperial Arms depot has surplus Imperial Arms, so I want to buy 1, 2, 3, 4..." Broly said, counting on his fingers, and then revealed the number of Imperial Arms corresponding to the number of people in his team. "I want to buy sixteen Imperial Arms from the Empire."
Hearing this, General Bud laughed in anger: "What do you think Imperial Arms are? Like common cabbages? Sixteen Imperial Arms? Even if the Imperial Armory had them, do you think someone like you, hiding in the shadows, could buy them?"
"Hey, does that mean if I show my face, I'll be able to buy it?"
Broly's eyes lit up, and he asked the question.
"Is this a matter of showing one's face?"
General Bude roared out, and only calmed down afterward.
"If you really want to obtain an Imperial Arm, then serve the Empire. As long as you have the ability, the Empire will not hesitate to reward loyal subjects with the right to use Imperial Arms."
The intruder had already demonstrated his strength by defeating more than a dozen palace guards, and the voice he heard didn't sound very mature, so he was probably just a young guy.
General Bude is quite fond of talent. If the other party is willing to submit to the Empire and pass his test, and if there are no problems with his background after investigation, he is willing to protect this guy who trespassed into the palace in the name of the general.
"Alright, whatever the Empire needs me to do, as long as it's not too complicated or something I can't do myself, I'll do it for the Empire."
Broly only considered General Bud's words briefly before agreeing to the terms of the deal.
Although his initial plan was to simply pay and forcibly take the Imperial Arms, Broly would still prefer a better way of trading if there were.
"However, I want sixteen Imperial Arms. Each Imperial Arm counts as one task, so I can do sixteen things for the Empire."
Broly added, considering the number of Imperial Arms required.
"What do you take the Empire for? The Empire wants loyal and capable subjects, not mercenaries employed by Imperial Arms."
General Bud felt he had been tricked by the invaders before him, and he abandoned his plan to use words to make the invaders surrender.
"Fine, I'll just take you down!"
Despite wearing heavy armor, the general moved with surprising agility, grabbing Broly's shoulder in a flash.
"What?"
Just as he was about to pin the short, masked man to the ground, the man grabbed his wrist instead, lifting his feet off the ground.
"Ha~"
With his feet dangling in the air, General Bud was extremely shocked, but his reaction was also very quick. He grabbed the intruder's wrist with his backhand, flipped over and landed on his feet, lifting Broly up in a half-body iron bridge position.
"Huh?!"
Broly was somewhat surprised. He had thought that the other person would be thrown out like an ordinary guard, but he did not expect that the person could react and make corresponding countermeasures.
After thinking for a moment, just as Broly was being lifted over General Bud's head and about to be slammed to the ground, he kicked his feet together and stomped on the other man's chest.
Broly landed gently, while General Bud was struck in the chest by a tremendous force and was thrown out like a cannonball.
With a loud crash, a large pillar of the palace building not far away was smashed and broken. After this cushioning, General Budo, who was wearing Imperial Armor and was still pressed against the wall behind him, finally stopped.
As the rubble fell and the body detached from the wall, General Bud's eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.
"General Bud fell with just one blow?"
The palace guards could not believe what they were seeing.
"Well……"
Broly lightly tiptoed over, squatted down, and poked the man's face with his finger. Finding that the man showed no signs of waking up, he became somewhat troubled. The person who seemed to be in charge had been knocked unconscious by him. What should he do now?
Broly thought for a moment, then grabbed a guard who was trying to move away from him and asked, "Where are all the Imperial Arms kept in the palace?"
Now that there's no one to offer suggestions, let's proceed with the transaction method he originally envisioned. He's already performed the zero-dollar purchase dance; now it's time to pack the goods into sacks.
"I have no idea."
Whether the captured guard was afraid to speak or genuinely didn't know, he just said that, and was thrown out. Broly continued to take on other guards for questioning.
Although it seemed that the person who was thrown wouldn't die, but would only suffer a rather serious fall, there were some privileged young nobles among the palace guards who were just coasting along. Normally, these privileged young nobles would make a big fuss over a little bloodshed. Under the threat of potentially being seriously injured, someone quickly pointed Broly in the right direction.
"Thank you, you're a good person."
Broly put the man down, straightened his disheveled clothes, and sincerely thanked him.
The next second, the figure disappeared in the front courtyard and headed towards the place the other party had pointed out.
"These intersections all look pretty much the same, which one is the right one?"
However, Broly overestimated his ability to find specific rooms based on written descriptions and ended up getting lost in the complex environment of the palace.
. . .
"What? That stubborn guy Bud was taken down by the intruder in one move?"
Upon hearing the report from his returning subordinates, Minister Ernest was greatly alarmed.
Did the intruder say what they came for?
Minister Ernest was somewhat worried about being assassinated, knowing that there were many righteous men in the empire who regarded him as a traitor and wished to kill him as soon as possible.
"It was too far away, I didn't hear you clearly."
Suzuka shook her head. When she went over, she only just saw General Budo being instantly killed.
After witnessing the Empire's First General being instantly defeated, she dared not approach him again. Instead, she took advantage of Broly's interrogation of the people to run back and report the situation.
"No, I have to leave here."
Minister Ernest felt insecure; even the First General, Bud, had been defeated in an instant, so he didn't believe the Four Demon Rakshasa could protect him.
"Where exactly is the armory?"
Just as Ernest opened the door to go out, Broly happened to be passing by the outside corridor and stopped when the door next to him suddenly opened.
Suzuka, one of the four Rakshasa demons, met his gaze and was so frightened that she flinched. The other four Rakshasa demons, seeing this, realized that the situation was not good and became on guard.
