Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

Mayne had no objection to this.

"Think it over quickly. Your presence here can't be kept secret for long. The Empire will take action soon, and we will respond accordingly."

He left with those last words and then departed with the two sisters.

Najendan was pondering.

……

The shrine's reception area.

Several people sat down around the table, and the two sisters continued eating.

Seven Nights looked at them.

Then he opened his mouth.

"In short, the establishment of the assassination squad should be put on the agenda. The personnel have been selected, and now it's up to you two sisters."

"Ah."

Akame nodded.

Black Eyes didn't react much, continuing to eat spicy snacks.

Qi Ye didn't pay any attention and continued speaking.

"So, this is an assassination unit within the intelligence system, yet with a relatively independent operation. It needs a name... How about D (Night Raid)?"

"There is."

"Ok?"

"When I was in the assassination squad, I came across a lot of information. The Revolutionary Army already had an assassination squad with this name."

Akame explained.

Qiye couldn't help but grin at this.

It seems we can't just copy this approach.

I didn't expect those people to be so fast. I just wonder if they will still shine without Akame and D.

Perhaps we could poach other people as well?

Well, in any case, Chelsea and Mine's plan is to eventually annex the Revolutionary Army and strengthen themselves, so recruiting them is just a way of taking action ahead of time.

But let's leave that aside for now.

"In that case, let's call it... Akatsuki."

"dawn?"

"Yes, dawn is coming, and light will eventually shine upon the world!"

Qiye nodded firmly.

So I'm just too lazy to think about it, I'll just copy it.

But if that's the case, shouldn't we create some robots and name them Pain, Itachi, or something like that?

It seems like that's a possibility.

Chapter 308: Thank you, senior.

Najenda still wanted to find the Revolutionary Army.

After all, compared to the unknown Seven Nights, the Revolutionary Army is more attractive, and the Revolutionary Army is already in the midst of battle.

But there's a comical hero here.

After seeing the army trained by Mine, Najenda decided to stay.

The army is very powerful.

When they went out to suppress bandits, they simply set up cannons and bombarded the area several times, and those so-called mountain strongholds were almost completely destroyed.

Najendan keenly sensed the power of these weapons.

Of course, there were indeed people in the empire researching these things, but because they were weak, they were not taken seriously; and because they were not taken seriously, there was not enough funding for research and development, so progress stagnated.

The technology here in Jinrui City is mature and has already been used in actual combat.

So she stayed.

Furthermore, he wrote letters to some trusted subordinates still serving in the Imperial Army, explaining the situation and persuading them to leave the Empire and join Jinrui City.

The imperial military was also somewhat shaken at this time.

Originally, the Imperial military was represented by General Bud and Najenda, one with formidable martial prowess and the other with unparalleled strategic acumen; one guarded the capital and the other fought on the frontier.

This is a flag.

However, now, one of the flags has been broken.

Najendan's defection served as a wake-up call to the Imperial soldiers, who were still basking in a series of victories.

Why flee when you've clearly won the battle?

The empire's military strength is still formidable. Rebel armies, revolutionary armies, and foreign armies are being suppressed one after another. The imperial soldiers, who have been training and fighting for years, are unaware of the empire's darkness.

Therefore, many people do not understand.

Only the officers knew the real reason for Najendan's defection.

Because I can't stand it.

He couldn't stand the behavior of most soldiers, nor could he tolerate the darkness within the imperial high command. He was unwilling to compromise his principles or pretend he knew nothing.

So I left.

It's not just about leaving; it's about rebelling, or rather, resisting the rule of the empire.

Few people know the reason for this.

The higher-ups also deliberately blocked the news to prevent the soldiers from knowing too much, only spreading the story that Najenda's position was threatened by Esdeath, so she did this and that, and finally failed and defected, etc.

However, the truth will eventually come out.

Moreover, Najenda now has Shichiya behind her.

And so the war of public opinion began.

In the propaganda war surrounding the army and soldiers, Jinrui City was trying to split the relationship between the Imperial Army and the Imperial ruling class, while the Empire hoped to keep the army firmly under its control.

Overall, the empire held the advantage.

But the darkness of the empire was not unknown to the soldiers and officers at the bottom, and many of them had their own plans.

That's one aspect.

On the other hand, Imperial intelligence agents and assassination squads are also searching for Najenda and the comical hero.

They eventually found Jin Ruicheng.

However, due to various interferences, by the time they finally found Jin Ruicheng, more than half a year had passed.

Akame and Kurome led their assassination squads in several battles against them, with both sides suffering losses. Overall, the Empire's losses were more severe, as both Akame and Kurome were highly skilled fighters trained by Shichiya.

With the help of the medicinal herbs from the Seven Nights, their physical abilities far surpassed those of most people. In close-quarters combat, they completely overwhelmed the Empire's assassins.

But the empire had nothing in abundance except for its large population and abundant resources.

Jinrui City lacks nothing except people and resources.

Therefore, behind the tactical victory lies a strategic passivity, because the Empire has learned of the stronghold of Jinrui City and has begun to mobilize troops.

Of course, before that, they first sent an envoy intending to try their luck with persuasion.

The person they met was none other than Prefect Qiye.

I saw it at the shrine.

Then, Qi Ye chuckled and ordered his men to arrest him and keep him as a sacrifice for the flag.

shrine.

In the living room.

Mine, Najendan, and Chelsea are all here.

Akame and Kurome are not here; they are still outside, fighting against the Empire's assassins.

"Now that the Empire knows about this place, it's time."

"That's what Nanaya said, holding Febri in his arms."

Upon hearing this, Mine and Chelsea were both excited; they had been waiting for this day for far too long.

Although it didn't actually last long.

Unlike their excitement, Najendan was somewhat worried.

"Now? We're not ready yet. Although our forces have increased significantly, we only have a little over 50,000 men in total. How can we face the empire's hundreds of thousands, even millions, of troops?"

She said that.

As a general of the empire, she was well aware of the empire's war potential.

"The empire's rule has not yet been shaken. Many people still support the empire, as do the soldiers of the imperial army. The number of regular troops and city defense troops currently maintained is in the millions. If we really need to mobilize, we can quickly arm even more troops."

This is indeed a troublesome matter.

But Qiye simply smiled.

"Who said we were going to rebel?"

"Not rebelling?"

"Of course, we can use that as a reason..."

"That's what Qiye said."

He picked up the cup that was placed to the side, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote a few words on the table.
