Ten kilometers north of the imperial capital, in the mountains, a ten-story house is built against the mountain, standing there very arrogantly.

This is the headquarters of the Night Raid organization, which the minister regards as a thorn in the side.

"You're all here, right?"

Sitting on the main seat was a silver-haired woman with her right eye covered by a black blindfold and her entire right hand made up of mechanical components. Qi'er's short hair shows her ability, quite majestic, just sitting there has a kind of domineering spirit, just like the legendary bandit leader.

A deep bass came out of her mouth, and the hall was silent.

"I have three pieces of bad news, please listen carefully."

"First, we lost contact with the local squad."

“？！” The people gathered in the hall still didn't make a sound, but everyone's expressions became solemn.

The empire is very large, and the night raid organization is only responsible for the tasks in the imperial capital, and there are other assassination organizations similar to the night raid in the local area. These local squads, including night raids, were all formed by the rebel army in order to rebel.

"Although the investigation is still ongoing, it may have been completely wiped out, please be prepared like this, in short, it is necessary to strengthen the vigilance of the hometown." Speaking of this, the silver-haired woman looked at the short-haired young man with the goggles on his head, "Ah, please expand the scope of the barrier a bit." ”

The green-haired boy didn't speak, because the silver-haired woman hadn't finished speaking, but nodded in agreement.

"In addition, the second one, Estes has completely suppressed the north and returned to the imperial capital."

"What?!"

If it had been calm before, it would have exploded all this time.

"It's a lot faster than expected."

The red-eyed girl with long black hair said expressionlessly. It's just hard to hide the shock in his tone.

"That guy is a source of trouble at all times!"

The green-haired boy rubbed his hair in annoyance.

"It's too early to predict what she'll do next. However, according to the information coming from the palace, it seems that a special unit has been formed specifically for us. In the future, we will strengthen our vigilance. ”

As long as there is oppression, there will be people who will resist, and the eyes of the rebels have been planted in the palace, and no important news can be hidden from their ears and eyes.

"Leonay, you go to the imperial capital and see if you can meet the subordinates summoned by Estes."

"Understood!"

The sexy beauty with blonde hair and huge ~ breasts nodded excitedly.

"I'd love to know what kind of people Estes was looking for, but you also have to be careful, Estes is a dangerous guy who keeps killing over and over again, so be careful when you encounter it!"

"Understood, understood!"

Leonay said this. In fact, he was thinking, "Estes, who is known as the strongest Shake S general in the empire, has the same value as the minister!" Maybe you can take this opportunity to make a big difference! ”

"In addition, last one, there have been serial killings of civil officials in the imperial capital recently. Among those killed were four civilian officials and 61 of their guards. The problem is that this kind of flyer with the words 'NightRaid' appeared on the scene. ”

"It's a forgery at a glance." The young strong man with the nose of the plane looked carefully at the leaflet taken out of the silver-haired woman's hand, and said casually with his hands on his chest: "Do you want to blame us?" But in general, it must be visible, right? ”

This sudden statement of crime is deliberately carried out by someone.

"I thought so in the first one or two incidents, and now it seems that we did it."

The silver-haired woman's words raised everyone's questions.

"Why?"

"Every incident happened under very high security, in the fourth incident. Nearly thirty of the former minister Joli's guards were killed, and his daughter was still the master of the true transmission of the Imperial Fist Temple. There is no one else who can do this kind of thing, and everyone else seems to think so. ”

The black-haired, red-eyed girl understood what the silver-haired woman meant.

"The prisoner has the same power as us, that is, the emperor's envoy!"

The silver-haired woman pulled a cigarette from her bosom and lit it for herself. Take a deep breath and then slowly exhale.

"Those who were killed were all conscience factions who did not belong to the minister's faction, but the minister did not like it. That is, the minister wiped them out. And then blame us. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a bait. Trying to lure us out and catch them all. But despite this, I still want to tell everyone. These civilian officials who were killed were not only capable and dared to rebel against the ministers, but they were also real people who worried about the country and the people who had never had contact with the revolutionary army! This kind of civil servant is indispensable for the establishment of a new state, and we cannot afford to lose such valuable talents! I think we should get rid of the imposters! ”

The silver-haired woman's face showed an unprecedented solemn expression, and she scanned everyone in the hall with a sharp gaze, "What do you think?!" ”

The man at the head of the plane smiled slightly, clenched his fists, and said loudly full of blood: "Then do you still need to ask?" Of course, the demons who use our name will kill them all! ”

None of the others objected.

The silver-haired woman smiled, her smile full of violence.

"Very well, then decide what the consequences of using our name casually, and we will teach them the rules of killers!"

Standing up, the silver-haired woman flicked her cloak behind her and began to give orders.

"There are a total of five civil servants targeted, and only two have recently left the palace. Red Pupil and Lubbo in a group; Brand and Hill are each teaming up to protect them! ”

One of the two civil servants was going to a nearby village to investigate, and the other was attending a large banquet on the outskirts of the imperial capital on the huge luxury passenger ship "Dragon Boat", which docked at the departure point of the Grand Canal.

Because they have to be present in public, people who are wanted during night raids are not allowed to show their faces. However, Brand's Emperor is haunted by demons and has the ability to transparency. As for the one named Hill, the bespectacled natural girl happens to be one of the people who is not wanted, and her personality is too harmless when she is not fighting, and basically will not suspect her.

Red Hitomi is a member of the wanted list, although Lubbock is not wanted, Lubbock's imperial ability is not suitable for frontal combat, so the two of them can only set up an enchantment near the village to hide and protect in the dark.

Leonay and the remaining pink-haired girl Maine also don't have Imperial Wanted Warrants, but Leonay is highly mobile and has a beastly instinct, making her best suited for intelligence. As for Mayne, she is a sniper in the team, and this kind of protection mission is not suitable for her at all, and everyone does not care about the arrangement of the "BOSS".

Because of the night star, the plot development of this world has accelerated a lot.

Tazmi did not join the night attack, the murderous maniac "Behead Zanke" had not yet come to the imperial capital, and the captain of the imperial capital garrison, Okka, who indirectly led the killing of the first member of the night attack, was not killed.

Although Night Raid is a killer organization, this organization also needs to live. Therefore, although they talk about the righteousness of eliminating harm for the people, in fact, if there is no mission from the headquarters of the rebel army or a reward from the civilians, they will not arbitrarily kill those corrupt officials who oppress the people and use their power to do whatever they want.

Every action means danger, and if the risk and gain are not proportional, they will never act rashly.

From this, it can be seen that no matter how good the rebels say, they are only rebelling against the empire for their own sake. The reason for avenging the people's grievances is also because they are now a member of the "people".

This is also the reason why Nightstar decisively chose to join the Imperial Army after Artoria expressed her dissatisfaction with the rebel army.

In this battle between the Imperial Army and the Rebel Army, there is no right or wrong at all, there is only a difference in position.

Indeed, the rebels knew that the minister was the main culprit in the difficulties of the people, so they wanted to overthrow the decaying empire and re-establish a new state. But who can guarantee that the new state established by the rebel army after the overthrow of the empire will not be a second empire?

Even if the original intention of serving the country and the people can be maintained at the beginning, who can guarantee that the new emperor, ministers, and aristocratic class will not oppress ordinary people?

It is impossible for a country where everyone is equal to exist, and oppression and exploitation have never disappeared.

It is precisely because of this that Night Sky Star does not care whether he joins the Imperial Army or the Rebel Army, anyway, his purpose has not changed from beginning to end - to earn points to raid beautiful women.

He didn't care which camp this beauty was in.

The Grand Canal is 2,500 kilometers long. For this project, the Empire mobilized more than a million people to complete it in just seven years. Because of this huge burden, the people became increasingly dissatisfied with the Empire, but in the long run, the canal could serve as the lifeblood of trade and transportation, so the conscience of the Empire also devoted all its efforts to its development.

The completion celebration of the "dragon boat" used by the emperor during his rounds was also part of the celebration.

The ship was full of nobles who were well-behaved and had a good conversation. In comparison, the mature woman wearing glasses and a cheongsam standing alone in the bow of the boat looks a little out of place.

"Hey, Ciel. Anyway, you are also the daughter of a nouveau riche from the countryside, and in the face of the prosperity of the imperial capital, how much do you have to be a little nervous! ”

There was no one behind the cheongsam woman who was staring blankly into the distance, but she could hear someone talking behind her.

If she really was the daughter of a nouveau riche in the countryside, she might be shocked, but alas

"How do you express nervousness?"

Ciel's question left Brand, who had been following her transparently, speechless.

This girl's natural stay is hopeless, no matter how many natural stays are treated, it's useless. Sure enough, in addition to some of the acquired characters, there are really more of them born! (To be continued......)
