"Yes."

Sailu's expression was firm.

And in another corner outside the imperial capital.

Nadezhda, the leader of the night raid, was reviewing the combat report.

The night attack certainly had its own intelligence sources, not to mention that this combat report was not actually very confidential.

Even getting this thing here doesn't take much effort.

For a moment, Nadezhda even thought it was a cover-up.

"How about ignoring it, Boss?"

It was Rab who spoke.

The location listed in this combat report is not the location of the night attack at all.

If they are ignored, nothing will happen to them.

It will take time for the Empire to find them.

No matter how you think about it, it's better to ignore it as a countermeasure.

But in Nadezhda's eyes, this is also an opportunity.

"The Hunters are probably the most powerful force the Empire has."

Nadezhda said softly.

She held the combat report tightly, as if trying her best to read every word on it clearly.

"If they can be killed, the cause of the Revolutionary Army will be rapidly advanced."

"Let's do it. Since they agreed on this place, let's go to this place."

"If this is their challenge, then we accept it."

Nadezhda's voice was powerful.

It echoed in all the hearts of the night raiders.

So both sides were unclear about each other's goals, but they both began detailed preparations in the following period of time.

Both sides are gearing up for battle, and the moment of decisive battle will soon arrive.

Sailu led his men out of the city, and outside the imperial capital were all members of the night raid who had already been ambushed.

Because they had the intelligence, the night attacks began to gain the upper hand.

When Sailu led his men out of the city, Ye Xi kept his eyes on them.

If this is a challenge, then at least it should be fair.

If the hunters set out with their troops, the night raiders would immediately consider retreating.

But in fact, the hunters had no intention of mobilizing the army at all.

"Captain, I feel some bad sights, as if someone is watching us, since we left the city."

The hunters set out on horseback.

But Lan doesn't need to ride a horse. He uses the imperial weapon to fly in the sky to detect the surrounding situation.

But at a certain moment, Ran realized something, so he lowered his altitude and moved closer to Sero to talk.

"It's okay, just let them follow and don't disturb them, otherwise it will not be a good thing for us."

Sailu whispered.

Lan just glanced into the distance and then muttered unconsciously in his heart.

At first he did not approve of Sailu's behavior, he just thought it was too hasty.

But no one expected that the night raiders would really come, so Lan had to re-examine the captain promoted by Esdeath.

She has a strong grasp of human nature, and it seems that no matter what happens, it will always develop in the direction she wants.

But when we arrived at the location mentioned in the combat report, it was more desolate than we had imagined.

The land here is barren and overgrown with weeds.

The other hunters dismounted. They thought that the night attackers might be ambushed around them, so they began a patient and careful survey.

He wanted to find the target of the night attack through all the clues.

But there was one person who did not dismount, and that person was Sellou. She just looked ahead.

"Captain, not found."

Will had searched the surroundings but found no trace of the Night Raid.

"did not find."

Hei Tong also spoke at this time.

Kuroyon, who came from an assassination unit, is better than others in terms of investigation and collection.

If she said this, it means that the night raid really won't take place in such a place.

"Captain, the sight that was following us seems to have disappeared."

Lan said softly.

It seemed as if the situation had taken a turn quietly.

Night Raid had no intention of accepting their challenge.

"How weak."

Sailu suddenly said.

This sentence sounded mysterious, and the other hunters did not understand its meaning.

"They accepted it, but they were unwilling to do it here, in the place we chose."

"They are afraid that we will set an ambush here. They hope to have sufficient initiative."

"So we have to move forward and continue to move deeper to where they are willing to take action."

Sailu understood Yexiu's thoughts.

"But Captain, can we..."

Lan actually disagreed with the proposal to move on.

If you have to fight under unknown conditions with disadvantages, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.

“We can’t lose.”

Sailu just said.

The first person to get back on the horse was Hei Tong.

She didn't say anything, she just followed Seleu's orders.

What's more, Hei Tong doesn't necessarily really care about his own life.

She came here just to fulfill her mission.

She wanted to confront her sister with swords.

And now, a night raid might be just ahead, and she had to wonder if this might be her only chance in her lifetime.

Hei Tong responded to others and inspired others with his actions.

So the hunter continued on his way.

After walking about two kilometers, Lan turned back suddenly because the gaze staring at them appeared again.

Lan wanted to warn Sailu, but a gunshot rang out and the bullet was aimed at Lan because he was too conspicuous as a target in the sky and the observation range was too large.

The threat is high enough.

The shot was originally intended for his heart, but fortunately Lan reacted in time and used her wings to block the vital parts, and the bullet penetrated the wings, causing the trajectory to deviate.

But the shot left Lan seriously injured, his body fell down in disorder and finally hit the ground.

The silk threads blocked by the sunlight suddenly rose up and gathered.

These threads were laid out around the place from the beginning, hidden in the ground and in the trees.

They are waiting for the hunters to arrive. These silk threads are very tough, even as sharp as blades.

The thread was recycled and cut off all the horse's legs.

The hunters were forced to dismount.

Several figures approached quickly. They were all people who were going to attack at night. They acted decisively and without mercy.

They cooperated with each other perfectly, and the most conspicuous among these people was a red figure.

It was clearly a girl, with a thin and slender body, but the way she held the knife was quite beautiful.

She kept moving through the crowd, trying to hit the most vital points with each strike.

The dust flew up when the horse fell, but it still couldn't stop her from swinging the knife deadly. It seemed that nothing could stop her fierce attack.

Her eyes were calm, and the blood spurting on her face added a touch of evil.

"The boss said he wanted to live. Is it over now, Akagi?"

Tatsumi called out to Akame.

The flying dust settled down, and those who were in the night raid could hear the occasional gunshot, which was Maine firing the final shots.

The battle was very short, starting with the first gunshot, reaching its climax with the silk thread breaking the horse's legs, and ending with the same gunshot.

The total duration is no more than five minutes, and in order to minimize casualties, flying dust will be used as camouflage, just like diffuse smoke.

And Ye Xiu will seize this opportunity. Akagi is experienced enough that she can even judge the damage she has caused based on the timing, distance and feedback of her attack.

"ended."

Akahima said softly.

When the dust and smoke cleared, there were almost no targets standing at the scene.

The only one in a better condition is Hei Tong.

She tried her best to stand up. There were no wounds on her body, but the hand holding the knife was shaking slightly.

The moment she fell off her horse, she was faced with Akagi's fierce attack, but Heitong defended herself with her super strong reaction.

But the continuous impact caused her knuckles to bleed.

The people who were attacking at night quickly gathered together. They slowly gathered together, and their eyes all looked at Hei Tong at the same time.

"Long time no see, sister."

A chill smile appeared on Hei Tong's face.

It seemed that she had no fear of death, but was instead excited about reuniting with her loved ones.

Hei Tong had waited long enough for this day.

Although this was not the ending she wanted, judging from the current situation, she was already satisfied that Kuroneko could see Akaneko.

Rab was collecting the silk threads. The other hunters were not dead, but their necks were entangled by the threads.

As long as these hunters made any movement, Rab only needed to tighten the silk thread and their heads would be cut off.

But what should we do with Hei Tong who is still standing?

The rest of the people's eyes were on Chi Tong.

Before this operation began, or before Night Raid received information about the hunters.

They had investigated the members of the Hunters, and Akahime did not shy away from the fact that Kurohime among the Hunters was her sister.

The eyes of Akato and Heitou met, and everyone else was waiting for Akato to speak. It was time for Akato to make a choice.

Nadezhda did not force her, she would rather respect Akahima's ideas.

If Akame is willing to break up with Kurome, although Najetta doesn't want this to happen, she will still create an environment for them.

At this point, the night raid has achieved their strategic goals and all the hunters have been controlled.

But Chi Tong just shook her head gently and said nothing.

She had never joined the Night Raid just to solve Kuroyon's problem.

"Boss, the number of people is wrong. One is missing."

After counting the number of people, Rab suddenly spoke.

Nadezhda searched quickly and soon discovered that there was indeed one person missing among these people.

And the biggest target is the captain of the hunters, Sailu.

No one knew where she went. It seemed that she had disappeared when the smoke and dust filled the air and the night raid occurred.

"Sister, even though you are weak, I have no choice."

Hei Tong lowered his head, his eyes sharp.

She held a long knife, the blade shining slightly.

Various puppets awakened from the ground, including humans, dangerous species, and even Akame's acquaintances.

If we calculate based on the number of people, it relies on the eight imperial rooms.

The reversal was completed in an instant.

"Why should you work for the Empire? That country is so sinful that it cannot be considered a qualified ruler."

"We didn't have to come to this. You still have one last chance."

Nadezhda said softly.

"I said, I have no choice."

Hei Tong took out a cookie from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

She had no intention of saying any nonsense to Ye Xi. She raised her hand gently, and then dropped it heavily.

With the support of the Eighth House's capabilities, a new round of battle is about to begin.

"boom--"

The loud bang of a gunshot surprised everyone.

All the people who were involved in the night attack turned their heads suddenly, because from the gunshot, they could naturally think that something might have happened to Main.

Because from the very beginning, Main was hiding in the commanding heights and conducting sniping.

She will have Hill by her side to protect her and ensure Myne's safety.

When the battle just started, Marin's sniping was a great help.

But there was obviously a problem over there, otherwise there would be no reason for Main to shoot at this time.

What's more, this shot had no target at all. To be precise, it was more like it was fired into the sky.

"Main!"

Tatsumi yelled.

A huge figure appeared in front of the sight, and as the figure appeared, the ground seemed to begin to tremble.

The monster was almost as big as the trees, and was pure white in color, with features on its skin and a ferocious expression.

When the monster appeared, everyone present thought it was some dangerous species, but the monster was carrying two people on its shoulders.

Myne and Hill.

If it were dangerous species, Maine and Hill would not have intact bodies, as dangerous species would only treat humans as food and eat them.

"A biological imperial weapon?"

Nadezhda was the first to react, and she saw through the other party's background at a glance.

And behind the monster.

It was a woman who was also walking slowly. She didn't need to hide herself, or even take any defensive measures. She showed herself completely.

Expose yourself to everyone.

Sailu, the captain of the hunters, went to the rear of the night raid at some point.

The moment the dust started to fly when the battle began, she realized something was wrong.

Instead, he took the risk and went around to deal with the sniper, Marin.

Hei Tong controls the imperial tools, and these puppets created by the Eight Rooms are about to take action.

"Hei Tong, wait a moment."

But Sailu suddenly spoke.

So Hei Tong retracted his action.

Nadezhda watched this scene and thought to herself that Hei Tong believed this woman so much, and it seemed that Celia was far more complicated than she seemed.

But in fact, according to Night Raid's investigation of Hunter, it was found that this Sailu had nothing outstanding in his previous life.

Perhaps as a member of the security team or as a user of imperial weapons, she possesses talents beyond those of ordinary people.

But that's about it.

Among the people Night Raid dealt with, many were worth far more than that.

But in a very short time, Sailu went from being an ordinary member of the guard team to becoming the captain of the hunters.

This was their first contact on the battlefield, and at this moment Nadezhda had to admit that this woman really left a deep impression on her.

"At first I couldn't understand why Esdeath gave up the position of captain. In my memory, she has always been a strong person."

Nadezhda said softly. (End of this chapter)
