Headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.

At the signal of the guard at the door, Najeta walked into the study where the leader of the revolutionary army was. It wasn't her first time here, but her mood had changed dramatically compared to before.

A few months ago, she might have felt a little uplifted, but now, the only thing she could do in her heart was heaviness.

It wasn't long before Najeta was behind a long mahogany table in the center of her study when she saw Ulysses Ignacio, the leader, who was intently reviewing a thick stack of papers on the table.

He was still the same blond brocade robe, with a silver-white mask on his face, and Najeta had never seen his true face behind the mask, and he had heard that no one in the Revolutionary Army knew this secret except the black knight who was responsible for protecting him.

Many people have speculated about the real reason why Ulysses hid his appearance, and many theories have been derived.

Some say that Ulysses was wounded and disfigured in a great battle, so he wore a mask to cover it; It is also said that Ulysses used this way to increase the sense of mystery and majesty because his face was too tender and he was afraid of being looked down upon; It is even said that Ulysses's real body is a woman, and the mask on her face is actually a magical imperial tool that can help her hide her identity as a woman......

There are many speculations, but most of them are pure nonsense, and there is no point in learning from them at all.

Najeta didn't care about that, and in her opinion, the person who qualified to be the leader of the revolutionary army should be one who has a strong mind, raises the banner of battle for the people, and can guide them to hope and victory.

Whether the gender is male or female, or whether it is not on either side, these are trivial issues and do not matter at all.

Najeta had thought that Ulysses would be such an ideal hero as she expected, but a series of recent events have changed her opinion of the leader - from the bad side.

Upon hearing the news of Chancellor Ornest's downfall, Najeta was shocked and excited, she did not expect that Javier had actually fulfilled his promise to turn things around within the Empire, and that her efforts so far had been like a fool's in vain.

In addition to laughing at herself, Najeta also waited for the Empire's order as expected, originally thinking that it was time for this to come to an end, but it was at this time that Ulysses finally tore off his disguise as a hero who revolted for the people, completely exposing his ambitions.

In retrospect, what happened after that was a nightmare, under the orders of Ulysses, most of the loyal men who opposed the war with the Empire were slaughtered, and those who survived were either still useful and chose to give in to intimidation and threats, or they were good at protecting themselves and stayed away from the storm from the beginning.

Najeta belongs to the latter group, she used to be in the imperial capital with Minister Earnest and had a basic political sense, so she didn't participate in those joint protests and other activities.

However, when she watched her companions die one after another, just because someone was motivated by selfish desires, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

The reason why she was summoned here this time, Najeta is actually secretly guessing, it may be just an ordinary mission deployment, it may also be a test of her attitude, and there is even a possibility - there is no need for a temptation, Ulysses is already planning to do it to herself.

Judging from Ulysses' recent series of thunderous tactics, even if things do get to that point, Najeta will not be the slightest surprise.

This conclusion filled her heart with anger, but beyond that, there was more of a strong sense of powerlessness - even if she knew this, what could she do now?

"Coming?"

As if he had just noticed Najeta's arrival, Ulysses put down his pen and paper, folded his hands on the table, straightened his back, and a smile on the corners of his lips under the silver-white mask, this gentle attitude did not change from the previous meetings, and made Najeta's tense heart relax a little.

But Najeta knew that this was just an illusion, and although the man was smiling, she could see through the eyes of the mask that his dark blue eyes were all indifferent and deep.

And the elusive Black Knight must be hiding nearby, and as long as Ulysses showed the slightest hint of intent to kill her, Najeta would have no chance of getting out of the room.

As the leader of the revolutionary army, Ulysses's strength is still unknown, after all, no one has actually seen him make a move.

But the Black Knight is different, his record is a bloody battle, and the remains of countless defeated people at his feet have laid the foundation for his prowess.

Najeta had a brief encounter with the Black Knight, which was only a glimpse, but the oppression and danger she felt in it even reminded her of the horror she faced when she was almost killed by Javier, and the Black Knight's strength can be imagined.

"Yes." Najeta gave a standard military salute before asking, "Lord Ulysses hastily summoned his subordinates, but what is the matter?" ”

"Well, that's true." Ulysses nodded, "It's a bit of a problem, but I think you can handle it." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"That's right...... I'm going to send a 'night raider' to Anning Road and carry out an important mission. Ulysses said.

"An Ning Dao?" Najeta frowned.

"That's right." Ulysses said, "According to the news from the Imperial Capital's secret agents, Javier Salmondo has led an army to the east to suppress the armed uprising in Anningdao, and Estes has been sent to the fortress of Changge, where the desert alien people are waiting for her...... Now that the Empire's most threatening trio has been dispersed, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity. ”

Ulysses paused for a few seconds, giving Najeta time to digest the information, and continued: "Your task is to support An Ningdao, who has reached an alliance with the revolutionary army, and now that the revolutionary army's troops are ready to attack the imperial capital in the near future, you can't let them fall now...... Also, I want you to assassinate the Imperial Army's Imperial Envoy as much as possible, and of course, if Javier Salmondo is buried in the land of Jerlock, that would be the best outcome. ”

"My subordinates understood." Najeta nodded silently, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "But...... With the current combat power of the 'Night Raid', I'm afraid he can't take down Javier, he ...... It's too strong. ”

Ulysses naturally understood Najeta's concerns, about half a year ago, the "Night Raid" suffered a crushing defeat during their mission in the imperial capital, and the person who thwarted them was Javier Salmondo.

In that battle, almost half of Najeta's Imperial Envoys were lost, and even Brand, who was quite famous in the revolutionary army, was also lost there.

It would be difficult for Najeta to fight Javier again without replenishment, and from a realistic point of view, it would not be feasible.

However, Ulysses has already thought about this problem and has formulated corresponding countermeasures.

"Don't worry, I will let two members of the 'Death Thorn' temporarily join the 'Night Attack', listen to your dispatch, with them as helpers, your operation this time should be much smoother." Ulysses said.

"In that case...... Then no problem. ”

Najeta is aware of "Deaththorn", which is an organization of the same nature as "Night Raid", with a total of seven members, except for the Black Knight who is the leader, everyone else is scattered around the world to carry out classified missions all year round, and just recently, because of the imminent war with the Empire, all members were called back to the headquarters.

Speaking of which, one thing has to be mentioned.

A few years earlier, Najeta had heard from Brand that he was one of the reserve members of Deaththorn, but because Ulysses limited the number to seven, he was unfortunately eliminated and joined the Night Raid instead.

Brand, who was also the strongest in the "Night Raid" in the past, couldn't even rank last compared to the monsters of "Deaththorn", and from this alone, you can judge what a terrible guy it is to be able to join this organization.

"Now that you know what to do, go down and get ready to go." Ulysses issued an eviction order.

"Yes."

Najeta took two steps back, then turned and left the study, her steps slightly hurried, as if there was some kind of flood beast behind her.
