Chapter 213
"The group that pretended to be us killed many guards who were not weak, so the ordinary people began to doubt us. We 'Night Raid' still need to recruit talent in the surrounding area, and this is absolutely not allowed."
Najenda held a black cigarette in her hand, looking somewhat helpless.
"This is clearly a bait, wanting to lure us out."
Bulat spoke. While the members of the night raid unit were talking, the contractors around them didn't say a word; they could only listen, as they were not official members of the night raid unit.
"It is indeed a bait."
Najenda nodded, thought for a while, and continued:
"On the premise of knowing this, I have something to say to everyone. The civil officials who were killed today were all good officials with outstanding abilities who resisted the Prime Minister and worried about the country and the people. Such talent is exactly the talent we, the Revolutionary Army, need to build a new Empire. We cannot lose any more useful talent in the future. What do you think, everyone?"
Najenda didn't give orders directly, but used a consultative approach.
Tatsumi was the first to speak upon hearing this situation. After a speech full of justice, Najenda stood up.
"Then it's decided. Let them know what the consequences are for using our name casually. We will teach them the rules of assassins.
There are two civil officials who might be attacked next, so we need to split our forces."
Najenda began to arrange the plan. The plan was for Bulat and Tatsumi to be in one team, and Akame and Lubbock to be in one team.
Akame and Lubbock were both members of the night raid unit, and both were Teigu users, especially Akame's Teigu, which was very famous in the Imperial Capital.
One-Hit Kill: Murasame. As long as you are cut by this demon sword, you will die.
That said, Murasame's one-hit kill was not a rule-based power, but a curse poison attached to the sword. After being cut by Murasame, the curse poison would invade the body, thereby achieving the effect of a one-hit kill, similar to the principle of Su Xiao's Qing Gang Ying.
After Najenda gave the order, she thought for a while and looked at Leone on the side.
Leone was a blonde, big-breasted beauty. Unlike the weakness of women, she looked very fleshy, but her figure was not bloated, and her frame was large, giving people a feeling of being plump and having an excellent figure.
Leone's Teigu was 'Lionelle: Lion King'. After using it, Leone could transform into a beast, significantly improving her physical fitness, and her sense of smell, senses, etc., could all be enhanced. After transforming, Leone was still in human form, with beast ears appearing on her head, and her hands were half-beastified, turning into two furry claws.
"Leone, go and scout Esdeath's movements in a while. She has already returned to the Imperial Capital."
Najenda's eyes were full of worry; only she knew Esdeath's terror.
"OK, I'm also curious about what kind of guy that is."
Leone's personality was carefree, and she had already begun to consider whether to solve the assassination of Esdeath.
"That's it, action..."
Just as Najenda was about to give the order, a contractor spoke.
"Boss, I have some opinions, I don't know if I can put them forward."
The contractor who spoke wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his tone was very gentle.
This contractor was named Ivan, which was of course a pseudonym. Ivan was a representative elected by the contractors, not because he was the strongest, but because he had the highest Charisma attribute.
"It's Ivan. Tell me your opinion."
The benefits of high Charisma were reflected; it was very easy to communicate with characters like Najenda who were lawful neutral.
"Thank you, Boss. Your subordinate has some suggestions for the plan just now, just suggestions."
A knife net appeared in front of the two, bright knife light crossed, blades collided, sparks splashed, and a tragic close-quarters battle began.
"It's like this. Since Mr. Bulat and Ms. Akame are going to be divided into two teams, one of the teams is likely to miss. Your subordinate has a remote communication method here, which is advanced technology stolen in the Imperial Capital.
If either team encounters an enemy, and the enemy's strength is not weak, they can immediately contact the other team and the headquarters, so they can get timely reinforcements."
While speaking, Ivan took out three walkie-talkies. The walkie-talkies occasionally flashed with green light, indicating that this was a set of green equipment.
Najenda's eyes shone with strange light, and after testing the walkie-talkies, she immediately understood the value of this thing.
"Very good. This can reduce the risk of the operation."
Najenda distributed the walkie-talkies to Akame and Bulat.
The reason the contractors did this was to try their best to maintain the combat power of the night raid unit. In the original work, the powerful Bulat died at this time.
"Action begins."
At Najenda's command, the members of the night raid unit took action. Among them, Leone was the most active; she was very curious about what Esdeath, this famous general, looked like.
After all the members of the night raid unit left, the contractors began to discuss.
"What do you think the outcome of this operation will be?"
"Not clear, but the Teigu users in the Akame ga Kill world are too dangerous. I don't plan to fight them head-on, especially that terrifying woman from the Imperial faction."
"Try your best to preserve the strength of the night raid unit. This way, the winning rate in the final battle will be higher. As for the key... we'll rely on our own abilities then."
The contractors nodded in agreement. A contractor sitting in the corner had been silent, just playing with the tarot cards in his hand.
"Aren't our friends over there going to discuss countermeasures together?"
Ivan walked up with a smile, looking like a leader of the contractors.
"There's nothing to discuss. Compared to solving the forces in the Imperial Capital, I'd rather kill everyone here first. I'm not targeting anyone; I just want to say that everyone here is trash."
Tarot cards surged, and the man sitting in the corner raised his arm. At this moment, a tattoo appeared on the back of his hand, which was a black number 11.
After seeing this black number tattoo, all the contractors showed horror, as if they had seen a flood beast.
"Travel... ah!!"
Screams came, and the night raid unit that had already left didn't notice it at all. A barrier quietly appeared around the room at some point.
Three minutes later, the man playing with the tarot cards in his hand walked out of the room. The other contractors in the room had disappeared without a trace, and there were no bloodstains on the ground.
Imperial Capital, central district.
The streets were bustling, and crowds were walking on the central street. There were all kinds of shops on the side of the street. A blue-haired woman was sitting on a chair on the side of the street, and the blue-haired woman was eating an ice cream in her hand very sweetly.
"Really not eating? The taste of this thing is quite good."
The blue-haired woman was Esdeath. She walked onto the street alone today to act as bait, wanting to lure out the members of the night raid unit.
No answer appeared, and Esdeath scanned the surroundings.
"Really cold. I've been strolling for a whole morning, and no one will come."
Esdeath found that no one answered her, but she couldn't perceive the other party's location, so she could only give up.
In the distance, a vigorous figure jumped between the rooftops; it was Leone, who had already transformed into a beast.
After using the Teigu, Leone turned into a blonde beast-eared girl, and a pair of furry beast ears looked very cute.
*Whoosh~. *
Leone jumped onto a rooftop, and after limiting her aura to the limit, she looked down.
"Is that Esdeath?"
Leone, who was originally full of confidence, gritted her teeth, as if she had seen some terrifying creature.
"This feeling, the killing intent that is so thick it makes one's scalp tingle. I was too naive, actually wanting to assassinate such a person."
Leone's perception was very keen after transforming into a beast, and she decided to retreat. She had no desire to fight such an enemy; if they fought, she would surely die.
Just as Leone was about to retreat, a man carrying a long sword at his waist walked to Esdeath's side, said something to Esdeath, and then the man's gaze looked in her direction.
In an instant, Leone felt numb all over, and that terrifying gaze was something she would never forget in her life.
Escape! Must escape immediately, otherwise she would die.
Leone couldn't care about being exposed, kicked the tiles on the roof hard, and fled rapidly in the opposite direction. Leone, who was fleeing, still felt a burst of palpitations; she seemed to have been targeted.
On the street, Su Xiao looked at Leone who was going away, his face expressionless.
"She escaped."
Esdeath was eating the ice cream in her hand and turned her head to look at Su Xiao.
"She can't escape."
Su Xiao pulled out the Zhan Long Shan at his waist; he was ready to meet the night raid unit and see how strong those people were.
"After killing that little cat, remember to support the Three Beasts. 'Night Raid' seems to have been dispatched."
"Oh."
Su Xiao's figure disappeared on the street.
PS: (Currently second in the monthly ticket ranking, must maintain it.)
Thanks to the alliance leader, finally there is a second alliance leader. I will make a list of thanks for the rewards recently.
