Chapter 259: Suppression of the Wild Hunt

When Lingyun returned to the Night Raid Base, Akame had already provided some treatment to Tatsumi and Lubbock. Because they had Esdeath's care while in prison, although their injuries looked quite miserable, they had not suffered too much damage.

"Lingyun, you're back. How is the situation?" Najenda saw Lingyun arrive and asked.

"That big guy who gave me trouble, I've already finished it off. Budo, who chased after us, was wounded by Luo Yexi; I estimate he won't be able to fight for some time," Lingyun said indifferently.

"Hiss..." Najenda couldn't help but gasp. She naturally knew how strong General Budo was, but for such a powerhouse to actually suffer a setback at the hands of Luo Yexi, she found it hard to imagine just how strong Lingyun, Luo Yexi's master, would be.

"How is the situation with the Revolutionary Army now?" Lingyun asked.

"The Revolutionary Army has already occupied most of the territory around the Imperial Capital and has formed a siege circle around it; they are now gradually advancing toward the Imperial Capital," Najenda said, pointing to the map on the table.

"It looks like the situation is still looking great, but looking at you, you don't seem particularly happy?" Lingyun asked.

"In the past few days, quite a few high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army have been assassinated. We have already lost three generals. If this continues, we will soon fall into the predicament of having no generals to lead the troops," Najenda said.

"The Jaegers' main task now is to capture you all, which means the ones doing this are the Wild Hunt?" Lingyun said.

"Yes, and you know, Syura has a Teigu that can perform space transmission. As long as they sneak into the army and succeed in an assassination, they can retreat leisurely; we can't catch up to them at all!" Najenda's expression was very ugly.

"I heard that your Revolutionary Army has a divination Teigu, right?" Lingyun suddenly changed the subject.

"The Revolutionary Army does indeed have such a Teigu, but there are significant limitations to using it. You bring this up now—do you have some idea?" Najenda asked.

"I'm wondering if your divination Teigu can divine Syura's next move. If it can, how about we go and intercept him?" Lingyun said.

"But even if we block him, if we can't break his Space Transmission, we are helpless against him!" Najenda looked troubled.

"I can break his ability to move through space!" Lingyun flicked his hand, and a wisp of purple airflow appeared in his palm.

"This is?" Najenda looked at the purple airflow in Lingyun's hand with some surprise.

"A power that can interfere with Shangri-La's transmission!" Lingyun retracted the wisp of airflow. "But this power is only enough for us to use once, so we must achieve a one-hit kill!"

This wisp of airflow was condensed from the spatial power that remained when Syura was fleeing before him at the time. By borrowing this wisp of power, he could make his own spatial power affect Shangri-La. However, because there wasn't much spatial power left at the scene, Lingyun had only been able to refine this single wisp of power.

"Leave this matter to me. The Revolutionary Army is also very concerned about this kind of thing; I think we will get an answer soon!" Najenda nodded.

"Eh, it's actually you?" When Lingyun saw the person sent by the Revolutionary Army, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. The person who came was none other than the Leader of the Peace Religion, whom he had met once before. However, Lingyun could feel that the powerful force within him had disappeared.

"Greetings, Your Excellency, we meet again!" The Leader of the Peace Religion bowed slightly to Lingyun.

"Our Revolutionary Army has already reached an agreement with the Peace Religion to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Empire together. Therefore, we have temporarily lent this divination Teigu to the Leader of the Peace Religion. This Teigu, combined with his ability to foresee the future, has been a great help to us," Najenda said. "It is also thanks to him that our operations have been so smooth."

"A union of the strong? This is certainly a good method," Lingyun nodded slightly. "Then, Leader, can you divine the actions of the Wild Hunt now?"

"Although it is a bit difficult, I can still calculate a portion of it. This time, the result of my divination is that the situation for the Revolutionary Army's southern forces is ominous!" The Leader of the Peace Religion held the divination Teigu in his hand, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead; it was clear that this divination was very draining for him.

"The southern forces?" Najenda frowned as she looked at the divination result. "I remember now, the previous Revolutionary Army generals who were assassinated were all commanders-in-chief of the sieges in various directions. It seems they want to use this method to delay our offensive! Leader, can you divine when the other party will make their move?"

"It won't be long; perhaps they will make their move in the next few days!" The Leader of the Peace Religion said.

"In the next few days? Perhaps it is because General Budo is wounded and unable to fight that they are in such a hurry to act!" Bulat stroked his chin. "If the generals in command all die, it will definitely deal a huge blow to the morale of the Revolutionary Army. Moreover, without commanders, the siege will be a mess. If that happens, even if we can break through the Imperial Capital, the casualties will be too great!"

"Then let's take action now. Tatsumi and Lubbock are injured, so you two stay behind at the base. Everyone else, get ready. We will use Lingyun's Heavenly Dragon to rush to the Revolutionary Army's southern camp. The other party likely won't act during the day; we must set up a siege circle before night falls!" Najenda slammed her hand on the table and said loudly.

"By the way, should we notify the commander-in-chief over there first?" Bulat asked.

"No, we don't know if there are any spies from the other side around that commander-in-chief. If our battle plan is leaked, it won't be easy to catch them again!" Najenda shook her head.

"Tch, I never thought that we assassins would have a day where we act as bodyguards!" Mine rested Pumpkin on her shoulder and clicked her tongue.

"As long as we win this battle, the revolution will be more than half successful. Let's set off immediately!" Najenda said.

The people present looked at each other and nodded; no matter what, the success of the revolution was the most important thing.

"Let's go too, Ye Xi. You still have injuries on your body, so go back and rest first. Budo's Thunder Power is quite powerful. For this operation, let Lingqi follow me; her shadow ability will be of great use in this operation!" Lingyun said.

"Okay!" Luo Yexi did not try to be brave and nodded.

Everyone packed up, then left the base and headed toward the Revolutionary Army camp in the south of the Imperial Capital.
