On the plains outside the imperial capital, the torches of the camp were connected. There are no mountains and hills around, and almost all the camps of the revolutionary army can be seen on the walls of the imperial capital. There used to be a dead silence at night outside the city, and no one dared to roam outside except for some dangerous species, but now, the dangerous species in the forest outside the city have either escaped or been cleared, and neither side will want to be attacked by dangerous species when they confront the enemy

Along with the dangerous species, there were many villagers from villages outside the imperial capital. It is impossible to enter the imperial capital after the gate of the imperial capital is closed, not to mention whether there will be people willing to go to the besieged city when the battle situation is uncertain, and the imperial capital city defense army will not let unidentified people enter at will under such special circumstances. In order to escape the war, the villages near the imperial capital were almost empty, and most of the people fled to their relatives in other villages and towns or to the northern regions. After Estes had completely cleared the north of the threat of alien peoples, the northern part of the empire became a relatively safe place

Withered vines, old trees, faint crows

Dragging her tired body, Najeta walked into the deserted village. There was no light in the wooden huts on both sides of the road, and the silence was chilling. Split firewood was piled up in the courtyard, and the villagers here were in a hurry, and many of the doors were not locked. Some of the doors of the houses fell inside as if they had been kicked open from the outside, and there were even obvious signs of looting in some houses, and it is impossible to know who did it

Finding a sheltered house, Najeta let out a long sigh and closed the door with her broken mechanical arm. Her face was pale, and her black dress was covered with deep bloodstains, and the makeshift bandages bound her abdomen, but the thick bandages could not stop the oozing blood. Fighting the pain of the event, Najeta pulled a cigarette out of her pocket, lit it, and took a hard puff

You must get back to the Night Raid Headquarters as soon as possible!

I thought it was just a simple request for help, but then it happened far more than she expected. Once everything was very simple, the empire was the enemy, the revolutionary army was a friendly army, and all you had to do was to help the allies defeat the enemy, and the country could only really get better after the empire was overthrown. Ever since she saw the Empire's atrocities in southern Xinjiang, and was ambushed by Estes when she and her subordinates fled to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, and lost an eye and arm, she had almost set this standard in her mind

The burning tobacco leaves eased Najeta's tense nerves slightly. It was her last few cigarettes, and she had left headquarters in a hurry before she had time to take many things with her, except for a horse, which had long since died on the way. If she was in the Night Raid HQ right now, it is estimated that Lubbo would be able to bring her some good tobacco in the imperial capital the next day...... It's a pity that she's the only one now, if you say it hard, the emperor she met at the headquarters of the revolutionary army. Flashing Flame - Susanoo should have also returned from defeating the pursuing enemy......

Wait here for a while, meet up with Susanoo and set off

Thanks to the Teigu she had received when she first arrived at the headquarters, and without Susanoo's support along the way, Najeta thought to herself that without the help of the Turret Pumpkin, it would be impossible for her to escape here with her current strength, let alone defeat those pursuers. The strength of the humanoid emperor is very strong, and she is very confident that Susanoo will be able to defeat the enemy, otherwise she would have been a corpse a long time ago

Click----

Suddenly, the sound of a dead branch being trampled off sounded at the door, and Najeta was stunned. The next moment, she snuffed out the cigarette butt, bent down and walked to the door in a whisper, and sat on the ground against the wall listening to the sounds outside. With the movement, the wound on her waist tended to crack again, but compared to the pain, the people outside attracted her attention more

"Commander, the goal is to come here, right" Through the wooden plank, a hearty male young man's voice came into Najeta's ears, but his words were not worthy of his voice at all, "I didn't expect that move to fail to kill her, it seems that the vitality is very strong, I guess I can try more new weapons before killing her"

"We've lost a lot this time" The voice of the man known as the head of the regiment sounded like a robot, and there was no emotion in the empty mechanical voice "In order to stop that combat tool, I hired Aveline, she squeezed a lot of exchange points from the regiment, according to the intelligence, the team and individuals who have a good relationship with her did not enter this world, next time, find a way to kill her and get the things back"

"Boss, that pistol bitch can't beat the guards, the regeneration ability that can be recovered even if you hit the head is simply perverted, and we don't need to do it at all" The third person's voice sounded, "I'll go back and take a look later, maybe I can see her corpse touching something down from above, I have long taken a fancy to her pistol"

"It's impossible for her to use all her strength to fight the natives," the mechanical voice stumbled "just for hire, no, put her life in, she can't delay it for too long, find her target as soon as possible...... It smells of blood, look for it, it's nearby"

Hearing this, Najeta gasped, the laceration on her abdomen was slowly oozing blood, for ordinary people, this bit of blood may not smell good, but to a few people outside, the smell of blood is no less than a freshly cut meat steak thrown into clear water

Footsteps outside the door drew closer, and Najeta held her breath. The mechanical arm has been damaged a lot, and it has lost its arm and imperial equipment, and it is almost impossible to use physical skills to deal with the enemy when the physical strength is insufficient. In her heyday, Najeta was not always able to defeat any of her enemies, let alone lose her strength

Najeta pulled out a close-fitting dagger from her body, and her eyes quickly swept over every corner of the room, but it was just an ordinary house, with no secret doors or anything like that, let alone a place to hide. She clenched the dagger in her hand, listening to the footsteps outside as she approached her, and eventually, her footsteps stopped

Najeta gritted her teeth, but then, no one opened the door and walked into the house

Without making a sound, Najeta continued to listen to the movement outside, but no matter how she listened, she couldn't hear any sound outside, as if the three people who had just spoken to had left, but Najeta didn't dare to act rashly, no matter what the situation was, the enemy in her state was not an opponent

After about a minute, the sound outside the door was heard again

"Boy, is it so difficult to get you to open a lock, I solved three enemies and you haven't picked the lock yet" A slightly vicissitudes but not old voice stood outside the window next to the door and said, "What's the use of these flashy lockpicking skills, remember, your purpose is to open this door, not some house owner invited you to be a locksmith"

"Shut up, old man, you can open it slowly" Another impatient voice responded impatiently, "You don't even have a lock-picking tool to unlock the lock, give me another thirty seconds and I'll unlock the ......"

Touch!

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud bang, and the door panel was kicked open, and the lock on the handle was still in place, but the doorpost was broken in two when the door was kicked open

"There is no lock that cannot be kicked open, if there is, then two" The man who kicked the door open said triumphantly "The people inside, put down your weapons, we have been commissioned to find you, if I am not mistaken, there should be a group of people who claim to be night raiders are your subordinates, we are going to take you to meet them"

Najeta slowly got up, covering the wound in her abdomen, and turned to stand in the doorway. Outside the door, two men dressed in what looked like secret organization uniforms were standing, both wearing hoods, and Najeta couldn't see their faces clearly. The person in the back threw the lock-picking tool in his hand on the ground, and it looked like he had just picked the door

"Who are you?"

"Coming for you" The person in front of him looked Najeta up and down and nodded, "That's right, it's you"

As he spoke, he held out his hand, "Edward. Kenway, come on, we'll take you to a safe place, someone wants to see you. Connor, tell the news to Autumn, we've found Najeta he said."
