After that, the people of [Night Raid] also completed several tasks, although they have not yet recaptured the Emperor Gu [Destruction], but Ciel's injuries have been effectively alleviated, although he still can't do strenuous activities, and he needs to be taken care of by others in his usual life, but he has stabilized.

At the same time, from the process of carrying out the mission, several important news were also obtained.
One is because he was dissatisfied with the minister's behavior, and the former minister Qiao Li was ready to go out of the mountain again to confront the minister.
The other news is that one of the strongest men in the empire, Estes, who was sent to the north to fight, has defeated the enemy and returned to the imperial capital.
The final piece of bad news is that the Chancellor and the Emperor have decided to form a team of people who use the Emperor's tools, led by Estes, to hunt down the Night Raid.
[Night Raid] conference room, listening to a piece of information about [Night Raid], and finally hearing the news that Estes had returned to the imperial capital and started to deal with himself and others.
Except for Tazmi and Aino, who were indifferent, the others had solemn faces.
Even the red pupil is like a great enemy to the owner of this name.
"It's a lot faster than expected."
"That guy is a big problem at all times."
"The guys in the north have been suppressed so easily."
Looking at the people who were talking underground, Najieta had to clapp her palms and focus everyone's attention on herself again.
After successfully refocusing everyone's attention on herself, Najieta continued.
"Based on the above three points, I can guess Estes's next move."
"If the former minister comes back, the power of the general who is not on the right path with the minister will increase greatly, which the minister does not want to see, and Estes, who is in cahoots with the minister, also does not want to see it."
"And Estes, who doesn't know anything about us, can only force us to show up if he wants to deal with us."
"If Estes pretends to be us and kills the former minister and other people who are well-known among the common people of the Empire, it will be a great blow to our situation, but it will force us to show up and fight against the water."
"Therefore, our task now is to keep a close eye on the team of the former minister Qiao Lilai in the imperial capital."
"Moreover, the good news is that if Estes himself personally dispatches a large group of men to intercept the former minister Qiao Li, then the general will not sit idly by, and then the political situation of the empire will be chaotic."
"But if Estes takes action alone, we will give her all the staff to die."
"Even if Estes doesn't make a move, but just sends her men to attack, it's a good time to cut out her lackeys."
"So this mission! Secretly protect the former minister Qiao Li to enter the imperial capital! Deal with the Chancellor and the killers of Estes' faction at the same time. ”
"All of you understand?"
Looking at the people in front of her who had finished listening to the mission, Najieta asked again.
“BOSS!” Aino raised his hand next to him and asked.
"So Estes hasn't finished forming the organization that will deal with us?"
"According to the intelligence, it seems that the minister and the emperor have just given the order."
"So can we guess ahead of time the list of their members?"
"We used to collect information about the users of Tegu, and if we sifted through them, it was not difficult to find a partial list of their members."
"Oh? Aino, do you mean let's strike first? ”
"So! Leona, Tazmi, and Lubbock, you and I have gone to gather information and gather information, and we will try to defeat the enemies before they gather. ”
"Aino, Red Hitomi, Brand, Mayne."
"It's up to you to protect the former minister."
With Nadeka's final order, the meeting came to an end.
--------------------------
In the villages on the outskirts of the imperial capital, a group of people slowly advanced towards the imperial capital. Dozens of Imperial soldiers faintly surrounded the carriage in the middle, making it easy to see at a glance that there were big figures sitting in the carriage.
In the carriage of the carriage, the old man with a gray beard and his hair looked out of the window at the village, and the ruined houses and the unclothed people made him cry out with grief and indignation: "This village is so choked, it is obviously such a rich country." ”
Next to the old man sat a young and beautiful girl, who heard the old man's compassionate words, but exclaimed: "It's so great to worry about the people so much, and to return to the imperial capital that can be called the [Nest of Vipers]!" ”
"Now is not the time to live in seclusion to save your life."
The old man leaned on crutches and said with an excited and angry expression, "The country will not be a country, the empire has been corrupted and dark to this point, and the old man will be incompatible with that minister!" ”
"I'll protect my father!" The girl tightened the spear in her hand and said seriously.
Looking at his serious daughter, the old man's face didn't know what to think, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I really gave birth to a good daughter." ”
But after a change of tone, he continued: "But it's too heroic to even find a mother-in-law, which really makes me nerve-wracking." ”
The girl blushed with shame all of a sudden, and argued loudly: "That! That's nothing to do with it! ”
"I don't have any heroism or anything, but I just know a little bit of marksmanship, and if I find a good partner, I think I can ......get married right away," he muttered in a low mood.
"I'm sorry." Seeing the girl who was hit, the old man couldn't help but laugh.
--------------------------
Not far from the convoy, three figures dressed in the uniforms of the imperial capital soldiers were surrounded by three guys in strange costumes.
"It's really nerve-wracking, is it because the information has leaked?" Looking at the three guys standing in front of the three, Estes's subordinates, Liva, the head of the three orcs.
"Great! There were four of them! If I beat you, I'll get experience points that will definitely make me stronger! Daedas, who was carrying two axe-shaped weapons on his back, excitedly.
"That's great, I've got two more to add to my collection." Looking at the delicate faces of the two girls in front of her, the last Niwu was flushed with excitement.
"Red Hitomi, the guy with the axe on his back will be handed over to you."
"The one with the flute, Brand, it's up to you"
"No, Aino, let me do it with the oldest."
Aino's words were interrupted by Brand, and in the face of Brand, who was inexplicably sad in front of him, Aino opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, but agreed to his arrangement.
