Ignoring the rice bowl that had fallen to the ground, Minister Ernest stared in disbelief at the intelligence officer in front of him.

"Say what you just said again?"

"A message came from General Esdeath that the northern alien race has been successfully eliminated."

As requested by Ernest, the intelligence officers quickly repeated the statement.

"In addition, General Esdeath said she has important business to discuss with you and will return to the capital tomorrow."

Ernest: "..."

Hearing the almost surreal news, Ernest fell into a rare silence...

There were just too many problems, so many that he didn't know which one to start thinking about.

If he doesn't have Alzheimer's, he remembers Esdeath leading her army northwards only half a month ago.

Acting alone is different from leading an army; traveling alone takes a lot of time.

Excluding travel time, Esdeath has only been at most a week since she started fighting the northern alien races.

In less than a week, they slaughtered all the northern barbarians?

Although we know Esdeath is very strong, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

Esdeath probably just sent him a random message to amuse him because she was worried he was bored.

"Where are our people? Has the news been confirmed?"

"Not yet. General Esdeath's message was sent back urgently via a Special Class Dangerous Species."

"Although there are our people in Esdeath's army, it will take them a while to get the message back."

"Where's the time?"

"It should arrive the day after tomorrow."

"It's a bit slow."

Ernest narrowed his eyes: "Esdeath is coming back tomorrow."

In just half a month, he annihilated the northern barbarians, and then sent word that he had urgent business to attend to and would return to the capital to see him the next day.

If there wasn't something fishy going on, Ernest definitely wouldn't believe it.

We need to prepare a backup plan.

After pondering silently for a few seconds, Ernest seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.

"I remember a few days ago, Shira seemed to send a message saying that her trip had ended and she had returned to the Empire and was wandering around.

"Yes, Lord Sheila is currently leading several subordinates he met while traveling abroad, operating in the western part of the empire."

Ernest's face showed satisfaction: "That's good."

Sheila possesses the spatial Imperial Arms [Shangri-La].

If the other person were present, even Esdeath wouldn't be able to get close to him easily.

"Send a message to call Sheila back."

Ernest commanded, "If I don't see him by tomorrow, you don't need to show your face in front of me either."

"Yes!"

.......

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Extra Sounds ( )

A day later, a night raid was launched on the headquarters.

Sitting in the conference room chair, Najendan looked at the message that had just arrived in her hand, her face showing an expression of incomprehension.

After an unknown amount of time, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and Leone, with her beautiful blonde hair, walked in from outside.

"Boss, I'm here."

Leone glanced at Akame, who was sitting silently around the conference room like Najenda, and her expression instantly turned serious.

"Why is the atmosphere so heavy? Has something happened?"

"Yes, there is indeed a problem."

With a silent sigh, Najenda slammed the letter in her hand on the table and got straight to the point.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point."

"Our plan to infiltrate the capital and clean up the pests while we are fighting on the front lines, in order to help relieve the pressure on the front lines, may have to be scrapped."

"Including night raids, everyone will be dispersed and reorganized, and assigned to other areas for combat."

"what?"

Leone paused, a look of confusion on her face.

19

As one of the earliest members of Night Raid, I am well aware of the immense effort Najenda put into establishing Night Raid.

They were only just formed after much difficulty, and recently they started assassination activities.

It's only been a little over half a month, and they're already disbanding?

"In the end what happened?"

"Esdeath is coming back."

Najendan replied, "This morning, news came from the Revolutionary Army's spies in the north that the northern barbarians have suffered a complete defeat."

"Including that brave warrior from the northern tribe, the members of the northern tribe were almost completely wiped out."

"How can this be?!"

Leone exclaimed in disbelief, "Didn't Esdeath just go to war with the northern aliens a little over a week ago?!"

"That's right, it was just over a week ago."

Najenda's expression grew increasingly conflicted: "That's why I'm preparing to disband Night Raid to prevent Esdeath from making direct contact with them after returning to the Imperial Capital."

"But......"

Leone opened her mouth, still unable to understand: "How did they do that? Is Esdeath really that strong?"

Najendan shook her head: "All the people planted within the northern alien races have gone missing, and the specific situation is still under investigation."

"But according to the messenger, the area near the northern alien tribes shook violently for a moment that day."

"If nothing unexpected happens, that is the reason for the complete annihilation of the northern alien races."

The exact cause is still under investigation.

It might be the Empire's secret trump card, the legendary Supreme Imperial Arm.

It's also possible that Esdeath's power has increased again, and these are newly developed techniques.

The specific reasons cannot be determined in the short term, but the only certainty is that the Empire's situation has become more complicated.

Before figuring out the specific reasons, keeping the night raid near the capital would only needlessly increase the risk of total annihilation.

It would be better to break up the group into smaller units, disperse them to other areas to support the front-line troops, and then regroup them later to carry out assassinations.

“I agree with this idea.”

"As for me, I just need to follow Najenda."

After Najendan finished speaking, Brand and Lubbock both expressed their opinions.

Seeing this, the remaining people also responded.

Mine: "I don't care, as long as I can achieve my goal."

Akame: "It would definitely be better to temporarily leave the capital and wait for the intelligence personnel to investigate."

Hill: "Um... I'll follow your instructions."

Leone: "Wouldn't it be bad if we all retreated? How about I stay and help gather intelligence?"

"I can also help with intelligence gathering."

Seeing that Leone intended to stay, Akame also spoke up.

"Two people can cooperate with each other, which is more convenient."

"so be it."

Najendam slammed her hand on the table and made a decision: "Akame and Leone will stay and gather intelligence, while Lubbock and I will go to the Revolutionary Army headquarters."

"Mine, Hill, and Brand, the three of you will go to the southeast, west, and north battlefields respectively to help relieve the pressure on the front lines."

"what about me?"

Suddenly, a hand reached out from beside Najendan's body and waved twice in front of her.

"Chief Najendan, where should I go?"

Najendan: "?"
