Chapter 34: Countermeasures for Night Raids
Recently, the imperial capital has become lively, and after the public execution notice was posted, people in the streets and alleys talked about it.
Because the Shogun is extremely popular among the people, most of the discussion is to vigorously appeal for the "night attack", although there are some people who are supporters of the "night attack", but under the high-pressure policy of the empire, no one dares to speak out blatantly.
The flow of information in this era was very slow, and the most convenient means of transmission was to transmit information through the domesticated Magu falcon, which was very inefficient and easy to lose.
But the power of the masses of the people is really huge, and in this wave of discussions, in just one day, the matter of public executions has spread in the imperial capital and even the surrounding areas of the imperial capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows about it, and there is a great tendency to spread to the entire empire.
The "night attack" at the center of the people's discussion naturally did not know about this matter, in fact, they had already been overwhelmed by this sudden change.
……
The air in the conference room was heavy, and everyone frowned and remained silent, as if an indissoluble dark cloud was hovering over them, blocking all the sunlight and bringing a gloomy mood.
Najeta looked at the conference room that seemed to suddenly become empty, and her heart was bitter, and she was reduced by four people at once, which was definitely a heavy blow to the "night attack", and no one was in a good mood.
Just came back from the headquarters, but what awaits you is such a mess? Yours is yours, Javier.
Najeta smiled bitterly, she had never underestimated Javier, on the contrary, she was very jealous of her cousin.
But even so, she never took advantage of the two in the confrontation between the two openly and secretly.
As the top of the younger generation, she is actually quite conceited and has never been afraid of anyone.
However, for the first time in her life, she had a mood called decadence, and Javier was like a mountain pressing on her shoulders, making her breathless.
“…… Boss, I'm sorry, it's all my dereliction of duty. ”
Red Hitomi hung her head down, not daring to look into Najeta's eyes, her hands on her knees clenched unconsciously, and she could even hear the wailing of the knuckles.
She believes that the arrest of the four Leonai is because of her carelessness, so she has been trapped in deep self-blame since she got the news.
"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much."
Najeta shook her head and enlightened the red pupils: "No one can expect that there will be problems in the peripheral organizations, Javier's concealment work is really good, he must have discovered the clues a long time ago, but he has endured until now to do it, in order to give us a heavy blow, even if I don't leave, I'm afraid the ending will not change anything." ”
At this moment, a lively and cheerful female voice suddenly sounded.
"Now is not the time to discuss this kind of problem, this time I was beaten by the other party, have you considered future countermeasures?"
She was a delicate girl with long orange hair, wearing a black and white shirt and vest jacket, a short red plaid skirt underneath, a headset, and a lollipop in her mouth, which tasted like a fashionable girl.
The girl's name is Chelsea, and she is a new member brought back from the Revolutionary Army headquarters by Najeta, and is said to be a powerful killer with an assassination record comparable to that of Red Hitomi.
"Public executions must be prevented, otherwise it will be a great blow to the morale of the revolutionary army, but the Imperial Plaza must be heavily guarded that day, and it is better to consider the possibility of robbing the prison than to do something uncertain like robbing the law field." Brand makes a pertinent suggestion.
"The question is whether we can rescue Sister Leonai and them under the guard of the two forces of the 'Falcon' and the Imperial Capital Garrison, it's not that I am discouraged, even if I add Mr. Su and Chelsea, I don't think I can defeat Javier, that guy is a monster that can't be described by common sense!"
Lubbo sat next to Najeta, and his solemn expression showed that he was not very optimistic about this operation.
The Mr. Sue in Lubbock's mouth is the new emperor tool that Najeta got from the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Denki Shihuo Susanoo.
As a bio-humanoid emperor, Susanoo not only has strong recovery power, but also has excellent combat ability, and his overall strength is almost above Brand, but even with such a powerful boost, Lubbo still feels that the odds of victory are not great.
"No, if Susanoo uses a secret technique, there may be a chance of winning."
Najeta pondered, thinking of the terrifying killer that would consume a third of her life force with a single use, and a little more confidence in her heart.
Everyone didn't know much about Susanoo's secret skills, but when they saw Najeta's expression, they knew that it must be a big killer move, and maybe it could be a trump card against Javier.
Thinking of this, their expressions relaxed slightly.
"Why do you have to go toe-to-toe with that Javier?"
Chelsea dragged her cheeks with her arms and said something different.
"From the information I have, even if we defeat him in the end, it will be a terrible victory. In that case, we might as well find a way to lure him away, anyway, our ultimate goal is just to save people, isn't it? ”
"Even if you say so," said Lubbon...... scratching his hair, smiling wryly, "if we could think of a way, we wouldn't have to be so distressed." ”
"Don't even think about it, isn't there a great opportunity in front of you?" Chelsea said inscrutablely.
Everyone's eyes suddenly gathered, and they looked at Chelsea with surprise on their faces, but they didn't expect that this new member was actually an intellectual figure with a good brain.
But think about this girl's emperor is not a combat type, if her brain is not good, she will not be able to achieve assassination results comparable to red pupils.
"What do you think, tell me about it." Najeta asked expectantly.
Chelsea took the lollipop out of her mouth and licked it with her tongue, looking unfrightening in the face of everyone's gaze, she looked up at Najeta.
"Boss, do you know Nagarkid and Hermi?"
Najeta nodded: "It's my former colleague, both of them are brave and good generals, what's wrong with them?" ”
"In fact, these two people have been secretly rebelled by the revolutionary army, and now they are secretly transferred in the name of crusading against the bandits, in fact, they want to go to the southeast to complete the merger with the revolutionary army." Chelsea smiled weirdly, "If the higher-ups of the Imperial Capital knew the news, what do you think they would do?" They will surely send their most elite forces to hunt down the traitors in order to deter those with bad intentions. ”
"Who in the entire imperial capital is 100% sure that they will be able to accomplish this task? Do not think of anyone other than the 'Spear of Judgment'. ”
Chelsea spread her hands, a bright smile on her beautiful face.
"Look, isn't that the problem solved? Javier will be ordered to hunt down the rebels, and we can take this opportunity to rescue our comrades, a very feasible plan, right? ”
The crowd was silent, not because they didn't understand, but because they understood, they didn't know what to say.
Eventually, it was Najeta who spoke: "It's a plan that works, but it's ...... to do it."
She frowned, obviously with some scruples.
“…… Isn't that the same as choosing to sacrifice our fellow human beings in order to achieve our own goals? ”
"Sacrificing fellow soldiers? What are you talking about, Boss? Chelsea chuckled, "Those two are not companions, at best they can only be described as opportunists, and the comrades who are truly determined to the revolution are already fighting on the front lines of the revolution like you, Boss." ”
"The people who have remained in the empire until now are either die-hard members of the empire, or careerists who stand on the shore and watch the wind, and want to make the most of it, can such a person be considered a companion?"
"I have investigated these two people, they have been severely suppressed by the ministers over the years, and they are not very popular with the generals, and they have been forced to have no choice, so they reluctantly agreed to the recruitment of the revolutionary army, do you think they are really good people?" Chelsea sneered, "The headquarters of the Revolutionary Army is now mixed, so don't put this kind of person in it anymore to cause trouble, and honestly die on the road and help us divert Javier's attention by the way is the value they should show." ”
Everyone exchanged glances, and they all saw the color of intention in the eyes of their companions, even Najeta did not appear so determined.
Chelsea said very reasonably, in order to expand its power as soon as possible over the years, the revolutionary army has lowered the threshold to recruit people from all sides, although the force is now roughly formed, but different voices have begun to appear within it, and it is no longer the original monolith.
The leader of the revolutionary army is very talented, and Najeta believes that he will be able to solve these problems sooner or later, but the fewer people who cause chaos, the better, right?
In that respect, the value of Nagakidd and Hemi is not so important.
At least with Najeta's status in the revolutionary army, even if these two people are killed, the leader of the revolutionary army will silently help her deal with the aftermath.
"How, Boss? What are you going to do? ”
Chelsea looked Najeta in the eye, after all, she was just helping to give an opinion, and it was Najeta who really made the decision.
Everyone else was waiting for Najeta to speak, and although they felt that the plan was extremely feasible, if Najeta said "no", they would agree with it without any opinion, and then think of another way, and Najeta had such prestige.
After a moment of silence, Najeta thought about the gains and losses in her heart, thinking about what might happen over and over again, and after feeling that there were no loopholes, she nodded.
"Well, just go with your plan."
"Yay—"
Chelsea grinned and made a triumphant gesture, and she looked genuinely happy, probably with the joy of having her plan recognized and the satisfaction of being able to make a difference in the team.
