I am the emperor of Mengwang

Chapter 879: Rudra tries to control Rimuru; Velgrynd bleeds

On the other hand, Velgrendo was quietly guarding Rudra who was sitting on the chair like a virtuous wife.

Even though she knew that Rudra's strength did not require her protection.

"This is truly beyond my expectations! I never imagined that you, the leader of the Demonic Nation, would actually set foot in the Empire and leave the protection of the Martial God."

"That's fine, though. While I can't talk to that lord, it's still quite interesting to talk to you, the 'Rising Star Demon Lord'."

Rudra's words were plain, but they were filled with the majesty of a superior.

Then, Rudra waved his hand casually, and a chair that was the opposite of Rudra suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Sit down. I suppose you don't want to stand and talk with me."

Rudra gave Rimuru a suggestion as if to remind him.

"That's right. I want to talk to you, too."

Rimuru looked at the chair beside him and said something nonchalantly, without a trace of fear towards Rudra and Velgrynd.

There's nothing I can do! People with backgrounds are fearless.

Not to mention, Rimuru's current background is the largest in the entire continent.

Moreover, the team she led this time was so strong. At most, they would just defeat the Empire. Anyway, she was not weak.

After hearing what Rimuru said, Diablo, Xiao and the other three who had been protecting Rimuru slowly put away their weapons and made way for Rimuru.

Looking at the chair that Rudra had conjured up, Rimuru sat on it without hesitation.

Velgrynd on the other side also subconsciously complained when he saw Rimuru's expression.

"You're really rude."

Rudra, who was listening to Velgrynd’s complaints, waved his hand nonchalantly.

"It's okay. She is my equal."

At this time, Diablo, Testarossa, Benimaru, and Xiao, who were originally standing in front of Rimuru, stood behind Rimuru as guards.

After Rimuru sat down, the so-called meeting officially began.

"This time, you've really got me beat this time. Honestly, I never thought it would end up like this!"

Looking at Rudra who was sitting opposite him and preparing to talk to him, Rimuru said something as if sighing.

"Hahaha, no need to be modest. The current scene is also very unexpected to me. After all, as Yu said just now, even I did not expect that you would actually set foot in the empire in person."

Rudra laughed loudly twice. Although his words were majestic, they were filled with surprise and astonishment at Rimuru's personal visit to the empire.

"Haha~~ Seriously, I'm actually very curious about how you found me. You know, we acted very quickly, and we handled the situation very well afterwards. Logically, you shouldn't have found out so quickly."

"Could it be that... you're using 'Perception' all the time?!"

“It was quite surprising to me.”

At this time, Rimuru was still a little confused about how he and others were exposed. You know, their actions this time were very swift.

Only half an hour had passed since the operation began.

Could it be that, as she said, this 'Rudra' guy really is using 'Perception' all the time!?

Not really! After all, this is his territory, is there any need to be so cautious?

"That's not the case. The only reason I discovered your actions was because you killed a knight who could pass on information to me."

Rudra didn't hide anything and told Rimuru the reason directly.

Indeed. It could be said that Rudra's discovery of Rimuru and the others' actions was quite coincidental.

Rudra was able to discover this because Rimuru and his companions had killed a knight who was controlled by Kondo Tatsuya's skill.

When that knight was killed, Kondo Tatsuya had a slight feeling and came to report to Rudra.

After hearing this news, Rudra investigated and naturally the actions of Rimuru and the others were exposed.

"That's still... it's really a bit unlucky."

Rimuru's words were calm, but with a hint of depression. They had been careful enough, but they still got discovered.

wrong.

"Since you've already discovered us, why didn't you stop us when we were hunting down the other Sequence Knights?"

Rimuru's expression was extremely serious, and his words were also very earnest.

"Stop them? There's no need. They're not a loss to the Empire."

"Besides, they were able to pull you out, so they contributed their own value."

When Rudra heard Rimuru questioning him for not taking action, he felt a little doubtful, but still expressed his thoughts frankly.

Indeed. In Rudra's view, a few dozen 'Sage-level' beings were nothing more than cannon fodder.

As long as they haven't stepped into the ranks of 'awakening', they are not even qualified to become pawns in his hands.

If we can drag Rimuru and others out and just lose some cannon fodder, why not do it?

In Rudra's own opinion, he made a profit.

After hearing Rudra’s words, Rimuru felt a chill run down his spine.

Rimuru stared at Rudra standing across from him and said something sarcastically.

"You truly are a qualified... 'Superior'!"

Although Rimuru and his team personally slew those dozens of Sage-level Sequence Knights, he still felt a little uncomfortable with Rudra's casual abandonment of his subordinates.

From this, Rimuru could see that he and Rudra were definitely not the same kind of people!

Velgrendo, who was standing beside Rudra, looked at Rimuru with a sharper look after hearing Rimuru’s sarcastic tone.

At this time, Xiao, who was standing behind Rimuru, also keenly noticed the change in Velgrynd and took a step forward silently.

It was as if if Velgrynd dared to make the slightest move, he would immediately block the opponent.

Protecting the safety of 'Rimuru-sama' was a mission personally assigned to him by the 'Emperor'.

No matter who it is, as long as they threaten the safety of Lord Rimuru, they are Xiao's enemy.

Even Velgrind, the 'Scorching Dragon' of the 'Catastrophe Grade' dragon species, is like this!

Meanwhile, Rudra, who was sitting on the chair opposite Rimuru, looked at Xiao, who was emitting a fierce aura beside Rimuru, and a hint of admiration flashed in his calm eyes.

"You are the 'Guardian Yaksha' who serves under the 'Emperor' and the 'Xiao' who owns the city of 'Golden Roc General'."

Rudra praised Xiao without reservation.

Just by looking at him, Rudra could sense the powerful force hidden in Xiao's body.

A strong man! A truly strong man!!!

Even in the eyes of 'Rudra', he can be called a 'strong man'!

Even 'Tatsuya Kondo', who is serial number one in the 'Emperor's Royal Guard Knights', is inferior to 'Xiao'!

"Would you like to submit to me and serve under me? I can give you power second only to mine!"

Rudra immediately developed a love for talent and tried to win over Xiao. Such talent is hard to come by even on the continent once in a thousand years!

If possible, he could even exchange all his subordinates except Velgrynd for Xiao alone.

Because 'Xiao' is indeed very strong!

"You do not deserve."

After listening to Rudra's recruitment, Xiao uttered three words indifferently.

He didn’t care about Rudra’s status as the emperor of the Empire, nor did he care about Velgrynd’s face.

Before Rudra could say anything, Velgrind, the Scorching Dragon standing beside him, flew into a rage.

An overwhelming pressure came directly towards Rimuru and the others on the opposite side.

Feeling the powerful pressure coming towards him, there was no emotion in Xiao's eyes. He just raised the emerald green Hepu Kite in his hand and waved it forward.

The oppressive feeling that was attacking Rimuru and the others was instantly shattered.

After doing all this, Xiao seemed to have just done a trivial matter. He just looked calmly at the Scorching Dragon Velgrind who was putting pressure on everyone not far away.

At this time, Rimuru and others who were protected by Xiao were also surprised to see Xiao easily blocking the pressure.

After all, this is the pressure from the 'Catastrophe-grade' Scorching Dragon Velgrind!

Seeing the momentum that was easily blocked and Xiao's indifferent eyes, Velgrynd felt that his dignity was challenged.

She was one of the 'dragon species', the 'scorching dragon' Velgrind. This brat, who relied on his own strength to dare to 'provoke' her like this, was really 'ignoring his own danger'!

Just as Velgrynd was about to step forward and teach Xiao a lesson once again, he was stopped by Rudra.

“Alright. Stop it, Velgrynd.”

Rudra said to Velgrynd with dignity.

Velgrynd was a little indignant looking at Rudra who was blocking his way, but he did not attack again. Instead, he stared at Xiao who was blocking Rimuru not far away.

"You are strong and excellent. Better than most of my men. With someone like you serving, even I feel a little envious of that 'Emperor'."

Rudra was not lying. No monarch would dislike such a loyal and powerful person.

Not to mention, 'Xiao' is also a warrior!

If such a talent were to capture cities and seize territories, he would definitely be a god-like general.

How could Rudra, who had the goal of unifying the continent, not desire it?

In response to Rudra's praise, Xiao didn't say anything, but calmly returned to Rimuru's side.

“Alright. Rudra, tell me your purpose! You went to so much trouble to find me, it shouldn’t be just to talk nonsense to me.”

Rimuru was now blunt and went straight to the point with Rudra.

She didn't believe that Rudra had gone to such great lengths just to chat with her.

As for your question about why Rimuru is so disrespectful to Rudra, haha~~, having power and background allows one to be so arrogant.

Not to mention, she had personally witnessed the scene where the 'Scorching Dragon' Velgrynd and 'Rudra' were beaten up by her own Didi Ali.

Seriously speaking, she wasn't really afraid of Rudra.

Moreover, the situation had already come to this point, and she didn't believe that Rudra would let her and the others go so easily.

"I still really want to chat with you for a while, but since you don't have this intention, forget it."

"I have only one goal, and that is, 'I want to control you.'"

Rudra said coldly to Rimuru.

That was his only purpose.

This is also the only way to break the situation at present.

「How despicable! Rudra!」

"You're not sure you can deal with my Ali, so you want to use me to force my Ali into submission!"

"You're dreaming!"

Rimuru instantly saw through Rudra’s plot and roared at him.

"Despicable? Haha~~, for my hegemony, what does it matter even if it's despicable!?"

“Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.”

"Besides, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your stupidity and carelessness! You gave me this chance."

Rudra's words were majestic yet full of coldness and ruthlessness.

In his opinion, as long as he can achieve his goal, he can use any means!

As Rudra finished his words, dozens of knights emitting a powerful aura surrounded Rimuru and the others.

Including Kondo Tatsuya and Damrada, whose serial numbers are in the single digits.

Feeling the dozens of auras surrounding him, Diablo and others who were guarding Rimuru also entered a state of combat.

It's long overdue.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Xiao disappeared from the spot, transformed into a streak of green light, and stabbed Rudra, who was sitting on the chair, with the Kabuto in hand.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked.

However, the attack was easily blocked before it even reached Rudra. Velgrynd stood in front of Rudra, tightly grasping the tip of Xiao's "Wapiti" with his own hand.

Two fierce auras burst out from the two of them.

Looking at the blocked attack, Xiao frowned slightly, but did not entangle himself. He twisted his hand holding the Wakuyu slightly and directly broke free from Velgrynd's restraints, but was still shaken back a few steps due to the recoil force.

“Tick-tock, tick-tock.”

A few drops of bright red blood flowed out from Velgrynd’s right hand and dripped onto the ground.

Velgrynd is bleeding!!!
