[Why are Iaias and Sayo wanted!] Night Raid? Sayo and Iyeas join the Night Raid? No...... Impossible]

[General Bude, two of the three most recently wanted wanted criminals are my hometown companions, and from what I know about them, they will never join the notorious killer organization of Night Raids.] They must have been forced by the Night Raid, who used some means to keep Sayo and Iaias under control.]

[General Bude, the recent night raids have been particularly rampant, ignoring the order of the imperial capital, and has been carrying out assassination operations. I want to join the patrol at night, I want to rescue Iyeas and Sayu]

[Tazmi, you can now control the power of the vow, you can't become a strong person by keeping your head down and training, only the tempering of blood and fire can become a real strong man. I'll allow you to join the patrol, but remember that the world is not as simple as you think. In this dangerous world, everyone wields weapons for the sake of their ideals. Sometimes, even if you don't want to, you will be carried by the tide of the times and continue to move in the unknown direction. 】

[Tell me, Tazmi, what would happen if your childhood friend volunteered to join the Night Raid?] If they really become killers and betray the Empire, how will you deal with them? 】

[I...... I]

[Don't answer me now, or say that this answer is not for me, but for you. Use your practical actions to give yourself an answer]

[Yes, General Bud.] 】

Looking at the two unusually familiar figures in front of him, pictures and memories came to his heart, and at the same time, an indescribable emotion made him extremely uncomfortable.

On the other side, Iyeas and Sayo saw their long-sought companion, Tazmi. His face was first happy, and then he felt the murderous aura emanating from Tazmi's body, and he was very puzzled.

"Tazmi is so good! Where the hell have you been all this time? We have been looking for you for more than a month and have not heard any news, were you not in the imperial capital some time ago. Iaias said.

"That's right, Sister Leonay and Mr. Lubbo have tried a lot of things to find you." Seeing that Tazmi was safe, Sayo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Lubbock comforted them that Tazmi probably did not come to the imperial capital, there was no news of Tazmi, which made the two of them a little uneasy.

Just when the two wanted to cross Brand and walk towards their childhood sweetheart, Brand reached out again to stop the two.

"Huh?"

Iyeas looked up at the tall Brand and wondered, "Big Brother Brand? ”

Brand tensed all over his body, and looked at the young man in silver armor in front of him warily. His sense of crisis constantly signaled to him that the person in front of him was very dangerous.

"Shayo, Iyeas pay attention to your childhood sweetheart, the armor you wear, that is the armor that only the commander of the Praetorian Guard can wear." Brand Road.

Hearing this, Iyeas and Sayo turned their heads to look at Tazmi.

At this moment, a breeze blew, Tazmi's brown hair moved with the wind, and the soft moonlight shone on his set of silver armor engraved with various gorgeous patterns, and said, "The third commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, Tazmi." ”

The scene fell silent for a moment, and the expressions of Iyeas and Sayu froze.

Sayo and Iyeas looked incredulous, and then Iyeas smiled very reluctantly and asked, "Tazmi, ...... you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tazmi roared, "Why? Shayo, Iyeas, didn't we say that we would come to the imperial capital together to get ahead and solve the poverty in our hometown? Why did you betray the Empire?! ”

"Now that I have joined the Praetorian Guard and become the commander of the third unit, I have risen to prominence, and I have solved the poverty in my hometown!"

"But what are you doing now?! You've joined the infamous Night Raid and become a killer, tell me why! Why! ”

Before they could reply, Tazmi's face turned from anger to pain, and his tone was full of pleading: "Sayo, Iyeas beg you, tell me that you are all forced, and that you did not voluntarily join the Night Raid to betray the Empire. ”

"Now go and turn yourself in with me, I plead with the general, I can let you join the Praetorian Guard as well, and we will continue the ideal before departure, okay?"

Tazmi thought he was ready, ready to wield the blade of his sword against his childhood sweetheart. But when it really came to this time, he hesitated. He was eager to hear that Iyeas and Sayo were forced, rather than voluntarily joining the Night Raid and betraying the Empire.

Even if you can smell the blood on the two people now, and the blood stains on the weapons and clothes on their bodies, all of them prove that they have carried out the assassination just now. However, Tazmi still harbored a trace of unrealistic illusions, and the preparations he had made before departure were lost at this moment, and his plea blurted out unconsciously.

Tazmi's questioning and pleading were like a blade of a sword inserted into the hearts of the two of them.

They never imagined that Tazmi had actually joined the Empire, and that he was the Janissary with the highest status in the Empire. Even from his dress, it can be seen that their childhood sweetheart has become a commander. A true official, Tazmi has fulfilled his ideal when he set off, and he has already made a name for himself in the imperial capital. Instead of following their original ideals, they joined the night raid and betrayed the Empire.

After seeing the darkness of the imperial capital, and seeing these officials, nobles, and merchants who were inferior to the beasts, Shayo and Iyea did not regret joining the night raid. Although they don't regret it, but in the face of the questioning of their childhood sweethearts who came to the imperial capital with the same dream, the two didn't know how to answer.

Although they became killers in order to punish the darkness, overthrow the empire, and build a beautiful ideal society. But that doesn't change the oath they made together before they set off with their childhood friend.

Iyeas and Sayo looked away one after another, not daring to make eye contact with Tazmi.

"Sayo, Iyas......" Tazmi saw the two of them look away, he knew that all this was true, his two childhood sweethearts had voluntarily joined the Night Raid, voluntarily betrayed the Empire, and betrayed their ideals before they set off.

Iyeas hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind to look up into Tazmi's eyes and said, "Tazmi, I don't know if you have seen the darkness of the imperial capital, but Sayo and I have seen it. ”

"When we first arrived in the Imperial Capital, we met a noble lady who seemed to have a very kind heart............ "Iaias recounted the events of their arrival in the Imperial Capital and the evil and darkness hidden beneath the gorgeous surface of the nobles of the Imperial Capital.

"I never imagined that Arya, who seemed very kind and friendly, would be a person who constantly tricked outsiders into coming home through rhetoric and then stunted them. They were sent to their so-called diary room, where they were brutally tortured, and the process of suffering and dying of these strangers was written into a diary, which was turned out every day to enjoy! ”

"If it weren't for a group of mysterious people in armor, Sayo and I would probably have died in that warehouse. It became a corpse there, a diary for them. ”

"I thought I had seen the darkness of the Imperial Capital, but I was wrong that it was only part of the darkness. It was only after joining the Night Raid that I realized how ugly, dark, and rotten this empire was. The upper classes of the empire exploited the people in various ways, killing people, forcing women, trafficking in human beings, torture and killing, forcing prostitutes, and eating ...... They do almost nothing evil. ”

As soon as he spoke of the nobles, officials, and merchants, Iyeas's voice began to grow low and his expression became angry.

"Why does such a twisted empire still exist in this world? Tazmi, we don't want to be an umbrella for these evils, we don't want to be accomplices to them. So leave the Empire and join the Night Raid and join us in overthrowing this rotten and dark country. Create a new kingdom, a kingdom where everyone can live happily! ”

Iyeas looked at Tazmi with hope, he wanted to pull Tazmi into the night attack, even if the hope was very slim or even impossible. Iyeas couldn't accept a head-to-head confrontation with his childhood friend he had grown up with.

Sayo looked at Tazmi expectantly.

Looking at the expectant gazes of the two, Tazmi replied, "Iyas, I know the darkness of the imperial capital very well. After joining the Praetorian Guard, the general and other companions told me about the current state of the Empire. The ministers and nobles of Earnest deceived His Majesty, plunging the entire empire into an abyss of chaos and corruption. ”

Hearing this, the hope in the eyes of Iyeas and Sayo was even greater. They thought they would be able to convince Tazmi, but their position was not so easy to change.

"But......" Tazmi said, "I don't think the night raid is the right thing to do, killing alone can't change the darkness of society. Even if the night attack kills all the nobles, officials, and merchants, and pulls out all the people who carry out the darkness, it will not be able to change the darkness of this society. ”

"Even the most powerful revolutionary army seems to me to be a group of bandits who started as bandits. Under the banner of glamorous, burning, killing and looting. ”

"Iyeas, do you know what the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army used to look like?" Tazmi didn't wait for him to answer, and continued to answer himself.

"The headquarters of the revolutionary army, formerly known as Wanghai City, was located on the edge of the empire's territory, a small corner of the empire, surrounded only by the sea and barren land. Due to the poor soil, the people of Wanghai City did not grow much of the crops due to their poor soil, so the people there made a living from fishing and were not wealthy. It is precisely for these reasons that Minister Earnest does not look down on it at all, which also saves Wanghai City from the darkness of imperial politics. The people in Wanghai City are not wealthy, but with the concerted efforts of the city lord and the people of Wanghai City, all the people there live very stable and happy. ”

"Wanghai City, which is not wealthy, is also poor in military strength, because they do not have so much food to feed their soldiers. It is precisely because this place is far from the ground and its strength is not strong that the revolutionary army has set its sights on this place. The defenders of Wanghai City, which had only about 100 people, were no match for the revolutionary army at all, and it took the revolutionary army only an hour to capture this small city. Subsequently, the revolutionary army burned all the boats and fishing tools that the people in Wanghai City relied on for their survival, and collected the grain in the entire city. ”

"Beauty is as good as its name suggests, contributing to the revolution. And the people, who had no fishing tools and food, had to accept recruitment from the revolutionary army in order to survive. Hehe, the grain that the revolutionary army gave to those people turned out to be their original grain. It's great to use the looted food to recruit the robbed! ”

"The people of Wanghai City could have relied on their fishing skills to continue to live in peace, but they were held hostage by the revolutionary army and forced to revolt with them by various means. It seems to me that the revolutionary army is nothing more than a bunch of bandits in bright cloaks, and your night raids are just a bunch of reckless men who can only wield swords. You have indeed punished the darkness, but have you considered how many families will be shattered by the chaos caused by the darkness? ”

After joining the Praetorian Guard, Tazmi not only received intensive training from General Bude, but at the suggestion of the general, he used his spare time to read various books in the palace. There is a deeper understanding of the darkness of the empire, of the current state of society, of the current situation.

After learning more about how the revolutionary army was founded, Tazmi no longer had any good feelings about the bandit group, which shouted this slogan so loudly. Now he believes that the only thing that can change this corrupt and dark society is through internal change within the empire.

It would be as naïve and foolish to expect the revolutionary army to be discovered by the nobles suddenly on their conscience, let alone that the revolutionary army would unite with foreign peoples and Western kingdoms to attack the empire and help them encroach on the empire's territory. Where the Western kingdoms and alien peoples had taken over, all the people of the empire were slaughtered.

There are many people who die because of the aristocracy, but there are thousands of people who die because of the revolutionary army.

At this moment, Tazmi is no longer the stupid boy who was fooled by the night attack in the original plot, and joined the night attack without asking for anything in return, fighting for the revolutionary army.

"Iyeas, Sayo, you and I are going to turn yourself in now, you two just joined the night attack, and the crime is not serious. I can intercede with the general and let you enter the Praetorian Guard to atone for your sins. Tazmi still didn't give up trying to persuade Sayo and Iyeas.

He didn't want to see the two of them being used as swords by others, and he knew the power of the empire very well as he was inside the empire. Now the revolutionary army seems to be powerful, but because the night raid has dragged down the high-end combat power of the empire.

And now that the special security forces have been established, the night attack is almost unbearable, and Tazmi can't watch his two childhood sweethearts go to their deaths.

The scene fell silent again, and Tazmi and Iyeas silently stared into each other's eyes, both recognizing the other's determination.

"Tazmi," Iyeas shook his head, "I'm sorry, I think I'm doing the right thing right now. ”

Tazmi turned his gaze to Sayo, who had not spoken, hoping that at least Sayo would believe him.

Sayo's expression was very tangled, and there were tears in her eyes. After struggling for a few seconds, he shook his head: "I'm sorry Tazmi, I'm the same. ”

At this moment, everyone knew that the matter had collapsed, but there was nothing wrong with either side, it was just that their positions were different.

After joining the Empire, Tazmi clearly recognized the disparity between the power of the Empire and the power of the Revolutionary Army and the Night Raid. Unless a miracle happens, they will never be able to overthrow the Empire. Not only did Tazmi not hate the assassination of the night raid, but he also hoped that they would kill more and kill this group of nobles who were inferior to their animals. But that doesn't mean he agrees with the night raid, the empire is dark now, but it at least maintains order. If after the overthrow of the empire, there is not a strong and powerful state. Then the people will no longer be worse than dead, but will be exterminated by foreign nations and Western countries, and at the same time, in return for the favor of General Bude.

Iyeas and Sayo had their first experience at Arya's house and the time they were on a mission, and they no longer expected the country to change for the better.

Life is like this, all childhood friends who were with us at the beginning will drift away because of something, or something. In many cases, it is not that you and I have changed, but that we have taken different paths and stood on different positions.

People's thoughts and behaviors always have a certain position, whether it is a conscious position or an unconscious spontaneous position. At the same time, people's views on a certain thing will be affected by their own position to a certain extent.

"In that case," Tazmi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, adjusting to the complex and painful emotions in his heart.

By the time Tazmi reopened his eyes, the confusion and pain in his eyes had disappeared, and all that remained was firmness, and he said, "The members of the Night Raid, Brand, Iyeas, and Sayo will be captured immediately, and the death penalty can be waived." ”

Since he couldn't persuade Iaias and Sayo to come back with his mouth, he woke them up with his hands. Tazmi is now going to arrest his two childhood sweethearts, and then slowly persuade him.

"That's what I mean." Iyeas slowly drew the sword from his waist. "Tazmi, after a month, I don't know if your strength has become stronger."

"Alas," Brand sighed, who had been silent, and then pulled out the Emperor's Tool: the demon-haunted secondary weapon, the "Redback Shrike", a red spear.

The reason why he didn't say anything was mainly because he hoped that Iyeas and the others could draw this strong man into the night attack, but it seemed impossible from the current situation.

In his position, seek his position. No matter who is doing it here, there is nothing wrong with it, but there are different positions, conflicts of interest, and the battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the figures of Tazmi and Brand turned into an afterimage, shooting out like cannonballs. At the same time, cracks were being stepped on the floor beneath their feet.

While!

The next moment, a crisp metal crash sounded, and the long sword [Vow] and the red spear [Redback Shrike] collided together. The strength was so great that it rolled up a gust of wind.

It's heavy. Brand was shocked in his heart, he was now wearing the Imperial Tool: Demonic Plague, and his whole body strength had been greatly strengthened, but he didn't expect that the strength of the young man in front of him could overpower him.

At this time, the killing intent in Brand's heart began to rise uncontrollably. This familiar feeling made him immediately realize that the young man in front of him was also an imperial envoy.

Tazmi took a sudden step forward, waving the oath in his hand, and the silver-white blade turned into afterimages.

Not to be outdone, Brand swung wildly with the spear in his hand and slammed into the blade of the sword that was coming at him.

Dangdangdang!

A crisp crash sounded, and the weapons of both sides kept clashing together, and a wave of wind and waves visible to the naked eye erupted from between the two of them.

Swish!

A silver light flashed from the sides of the two, and Iyeas appeared next to them, his sword swinging at Tazmi.

Brand also saw the right moment to grab the handle of the gun, aimed at Tazmi's longsword, and swung it with all his might.

While!

A loud thud rang out, and Tazmi's sword was flicked away with great force, and his arm leaned back, opening wide open.

At this time, Iyeas's blade also approached Tazmi, and it was about to pierce him in the shoulder, incapacitating his right hand.

Nation!

Tazmi's silver armor withstood the attack, but the blade left a groove in the armor.

And the armor's momentary resistance gave Tazmi a chance to fight back. As soon as his mind moved, the vow in his hand began to glow faintly white.

"Vow."

Whew!

With the blessing of the vow, Tazmi's strength and speed increased several times, and his entire body turned into afterimages, swinging dozens of swords in an instant.

Dangdang, dangdang!

The blade slammed into Brand and Iyeas, and the next moment the two of them flew upside down with great force, landed on the ground 5 meters away, and then rolled a few times before stopping.

Because of Tazmi's hand, Iyeas didn't suffer any damage, but the long sword in his hand cracked one after another, and his arm was a little numb from the force of the retraction.

Brand didn't have this kind of special care, and Brand was attacked no less than 20 times in that moment just now. Fortunately, the Emperor's Spirit-haunted Hardness was high enough to keep him from dying from the attack just now. But the same Imperial Tool: haunted by demons, the hard shell has been cut out of the sword marks, and some of the deepest ones can even see Brand's flesh.

Shout!

Hearing the sound of the air breaking in his ears, Tazmi raised his hand and swung it to the right, and an arrow was split in half by him.

Tazmi turned his head to see Sayo holding a bow and arrow, shook his head and said, "Sayo, don't make senseless struggles and confess your sins with me, I can save you." ”

Sayo didn't answer, but drew a few more arrows and bolts on the bowstring, aimed and drew the bow to shoot.

Woohoo!

Three arrows flew in, and Tazmi's arm moved and swung three swords in an instant, knocking down the arrows flying in the air one by one.

Strong, with the blessing of Emperor Gu [Vow], Tazmi has directly become a top third-class powerhouse from the original second class. That's why everyone is crazy about the emperor. Because as long as he is recognized by the emperor, even if he is an ordinary person, he can become the second class.

Woohoo!

Still refusing to give up, Sayu continued to shoot arrows, and Tazmi ran towards Sayo as she waved the vows in her hand to knock out the vows that came at him.

"Roar! Tazmi! Iyeas struggled to get up from the ground and roared as he rushed towards Tazmi.

However, he is not the main character, and no matter how much he roars, it will not change anything.

Tazmi stopped and jumped backwards, dodging the impact of Iyas, and at the same time turned his left hand into his palm and slashed at Iyas's neck.

Boom!

"Tower ......" Iyeas just highlighted a word, and then his whole body softened and fell to the ground, but it can be seen from his undulating back that he is only unconscious.

It is also a strong man like Tazmi, whose strength has reached the third level, who can accurately control the force and make the victim unconscious. If an ordinary person is aiming at someone else's neck like this, they will either knock the person into a disability or knock the person to death.

Just as Tazmi wanted to continue to move forward and grab Sayu, he suddenly felt a strong wind behind him. Tazmi quickly turned around and raised the oath in his hand in a defensive gesture.

While!

Vow to collide with the red spear again.

This guy is too strong to fight, so retreat first.

Brand sank his right leg, lifted his left foot, and kicked at Tazmi's waist.

Swish!

Tazmi's eyes moved slightly, and he lifted the strength of his whole body. This time, he plans to use the rift created by the attack just now to kill Brand who is hiding in the Emperor's Tool: Demonic Body.

However, the mutation protruded, and the white light on the blade of the vow suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, a strong sense of weakness caused Tazmi's body to stagnate.

Boom!

Brand kicked Tazmi away, and then had no intention of taking advantage of the victory. Turning his head, he scooped up Iyeas, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and rushed to Sayo, who was standing in the distance.

When he came to Sha You, he didn't say anything, stretched out his left hand and carried it on his shoulder, rushed all the way into the forest, and ran towards the outside of the manor.

"Ahem," Tazmi, clutching her waist and looking up at their distant backs with difficulty, "Iaias, Shayo. ”

Tazmi didn't expect that the consumption of the vow would be so large, and the full blessing did allow him to gain great strength. But at the same time, his physical strength was greatly consumed, and in just one minute, he felt fatigued.

"Sayo, Iyeas, why is this happening?"

Tazmi struggled to get up from the ground, gasping for air with every step he took due to his exhaustion. Step by step, Tazmi walked down the avenue towards the gate of the manor, his eyes becoming more determined, and the blade of the sword that hung his vow at his waist became sharper and sharper.

"I'm going to arrest you, and then everything will be the way it used to be."

…………

Goblin Slayer World, Base 0, Atlas Research Institute, White House.

In a laboratory numbered 117, six researchers in hazmat suits look at several cages in front of them.

The cages are one meter high and half a meter wide, and each cage has a goblin in it. These goblins looked around in horror, the eerie atmosphere and smell of this white room made them creepy.

"Ahhh

Some of the goblins let out a frightened cry, and the instincts of the creatures told them that it was dangerous.

However, they didn't have long to scream when the anesthetic injected in front of them began to take effect, and all the goblins began to fall one after another.

"Start injecting the Goblin Killer 1 virus." With the words of one researcher.

The next moment, the square container next to the researcher slowly opened, and white gas emerged from it. The researchers then pulled out finger-sized glass containers containing red liquid.

The researchers inserted the syringe into the container, extracted the liquid from it, and then went to the cage, grabbed the goblin's arm, and inserted the needle into their vein.
