The main army had already set off, and Lancer and the others, as secret weapons, were traveling alone in a carriage.
The person driving the carriage was an ordinary soldier, and he would unconsciously glance at the person next to him while driving the carriage, but after glancing, he would continue with his work.
The reason for this was that the person sitting next to him at this time was a bit strange.
The rumors about the 'Imperial Executioner' had become more and more exaggerated in recent days, especially Lancer almost reckless behavior when he entered the city, which spread his 'evil deeds' to an incredible extent.
But at this time, Lancer was wrapped in a large coat and wearing a hat, leaning against the carriage without saying a word, just like a statue.
This was undoubtedly completely different from the 'Lancer' he knew.
And Lancer naturally felt the gaze next to him, but he didn't pay attention to it. Although he had wrapped his entire body up at this time, he was actually constantly sensing his surroundings and checking his 'equipment' and various supplies again and again.
He had once thought about one thing — what was Leone situation right now?
Would the other party kill her? Or abuse her? It shouldn't be either. The reason the other party abducted her should have been because of him.
But just like a kidnapper kidnapping a hostage, why haven't they asked for a 'ransom' until now?
Either Leone was already dead, or the other party had other uses for her.
If it was the first, then he had no other choice but to kill the damned mastermind behind the scenes to avenge her. If it was the second, then he could only improvise.
The only thing he could rely on now was that the opponent didn't know enough about him.
His 'supplies' and the weapons he was good at were not just cavalry spears! And he knew a lot of information about Imperial Armaments based on the 'plot', which might be useful in the upcoming battle.
In order to deal with the other party, he even decided to use the 'Imperial Armament' on his body as bait!
What kind of expression would that guy have when he thought he had finally won, only to be pierced through the heart with his spear? It should be great, right?
At this time, even Lancer himself hadn't realized that although the things he needed to do hadn't changed, the reason why he wanted to do them had long changed...

And at this time, Honest, who was 'missed' by Lancer, was flipping through a book, sweating profusely.
"Where is it... where on earth is it... Since the founding emperor of the empire created the 'Jewel Headpiece [Ireston]' to restrain the Imperial Armaments, it's impossible that there are no other restraining measures!"
He found this book in the 'tomb' along with those Imperial Armaments. This book not only recorded a lot of secret stories about Imperial Armaments but also wrote a lot of things that were unfavorable to the royal family.
It was precisely because he found this tomb and had a large number of Imperial Armaments that he had the ambition to implement his previous plan, but he didn't expect that the originally perfect script would be completely disrupted.
"According to the records in the book, this kind of special Imperial Armament can only be used by people with a special bloodline, so where is the method of control..."
According to the records in the book, in addition to some 'ordinary' Imperial Armaments, there were also some 'special Imperial Armaments', such as Imperial Armaments that restricted the user's bloodline. One of the most prominent ones was the 'Ultimate Imperial Armament' that could only be used by the current emperor. In addition, there was the 'Lightning God's Armor' passed down from generation to generation in the Budo family, and this 'Ice Imperial Armament' was one of them.
The destruction of Esdeath's tribe back then was an act behind the scenes by Honest. At that time, he had specifically captured many 'test subjects', but unfortunately, they all ended in failure, and Esdeath was the result of his deliberate nurturing. It was just that what he didn't expect was that the 'nurturing' target not only achieved the goal but even exceeded it.
According to the description in the book, people with special bloodlines were made to swallow a small part of the 'blood', and by doing so, they could get many 'subordinates'. When they died, the blood could be recovered through a special method...
But he had already tried the method in the book. Esdeath, who drank a whole jar of 'demon's blood', didn't have any reaction at all.
His original plan was to get a 'super thug', but the current situation seemed to be that he had hired a 'super ancestor'. Honest suddenly felt, why was his luck so bad?
"Damn it!! This guy also said he was the 'orthodox of the empire'! He doesn't even have a way to control his subordinates!!"
He angrily picked up the book and was about to smash it down, but in the end, he gave up.
Although anger had almost taken over him, his rationality told him that getting angry at this time was completely meaningless.
With a颓废 look on his face, he had to sit down again and start to carefully read this book that was full of 'self-praise'.
Although this book had given him a lot of help, every time he looked at it, he felt like he was rummaging through a garbage dump, looking for the 'clues' he needed among countless 'garbage', and even these clues appeared in some 'roaring' text.
He had even pulled out a few of his not-so-thick hairs. If it were in normal times, he might have been so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but now he couldn't care less.
"No! I must have a 'backup'! Even if there's no answer in the book, I have to figure out one myself!"
Esdeath's current condition was very abnormal. She didn't look like a normal Imperial Armament user. If the usual Esdeath gave people the feeling of a 'proud' queen, then the current she was like a tyrant full of oppressive power. He even wondered if the other party had gone crazy if she hadn't wantonly attacked her surroundings, because the current Esdeath was completely the opposite of her previous behavior.
After obtaining the Imperial Armament, she went straight back to her room and had not come out since.
The only other person who had given him such a hard time before was that 'executioner'.
The man didn't love money, was not lustful, and was not greedy for power. He was simply like an ascetic. Not only was false accusation useless, but even direct action was useless. That guy was full of vigilance even when he was sleeping and would be awakened immediately at the slightest rustle. In the end, he had to give up the assassination plan because it wasn't worth it, but he didn't expect that it was this guy who had ruined his plan several times! And in the end, it was he who 'coincidentally' found his weakness!
He didn't expect to encounter someone even more troublesome now.
'Since I can't break through head-on, the only way is from the side...'
Then he thought of the woman the other party had brought with him today. Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to bring that woman with him, this might be a good direction...
Perhaps because he had found a 'direction', Honest even found the hair between his fingers to be much more pleasing to the eye.
