Despite her doubts, the chocolate-skinned girl chased after him without hesitation.
Moreover, she was surprised to find that, because she had been thinking for a moment, the distance between her and Lu Ye had increased by about ten meters.
The alley's terrain was intricate and complex; ten meters was enough for Lu Ye to escape.
Did he realize he was being followed?
The thought flashed through the girl's mind, even though she was confident that she could walk silently and conceal her presence well.
But there's always a chance of something going wrong.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and caught up with him.
The mission is important and we cannot slack off. We must find out the location of the Imperial Arm "Five Visions: The Observer".
Its abilities are very strong, but it just didn't unleash its full potential in Zank's hands.
The girl got closer and closer to the corner.
However, the moment she turned the corner, a heavy punch rapidly magnified in her field of vision.
Chapter 211 Clash with Horse Head
On the other side, the Imperial Capital Bookstore.
The night raid team's hiding place.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass window, bringing a touch of warmth.
Lubbock, who was sitting next to the counter, went to the window and drew the curtains.
He then raised his arm, and the Imperial Arm on the back of his hand—Thousand Transformations: Cross Tail—made a slight sound.
Like the sound of gears meshing, Lubbock closed his eyes and listened intently to the sound.
He was simply following protocol, checking his surroundings.
Before each battle, he would conduct a thorough investigation.
The Ever-Changing Cross Tail is better suited for gathering intelligence and setting traps than for combat.
Lubbock had already set up a barrier around the bookstore and used it to probe the surrounding area. He could immediately detect and react to any signs of trouble.
After waiting quietly for thirty seconds, Lubbock opened his eyes.
"Nothing unusual, no one is monitoring us, it's safe as always."
After confirming it was safe, he locked the door, hung up the "Resting" sign, returned to the counter, and gently tapped the red book.
The bookshelf slid away along the metal rails on the floor, revealing a hidden passageway and a spacious lounge.
A pair of sharp eyes immediately fixed on the doorway, like startled snakes.
Inside the room was the entire night raid team.
"The sun is about to set. Get ready, it's time to move out." Lubbock took his coat from the doorway and put it on.
"Preparations have been made long ago!" Mine said confidently.
In her hand was a strangely shaped, enormous gun, which seemed somewhat out of place compared to her petite frame.
This is the Imperial Arm - Romantic Turret Pumpkin.
This is a gun-shaped Imperial Arm that can convert spiritual energy into shockwaves, and its power increases depending on the severity of the crisis the user faces. Its ultimate technique is to remove the restrictions to greatly increase the weapon's power, but it will be temporarily unusable afterward due to overheating.
Everyone was present for this operation, except for Najenda, who was weaker in combat and did not have a Teigu. This included Violet.
Except for Violet, everyone else had prepared their respective Imperial Arms.
“Let me confirm one more time,” Akame said, looking at the photo wall. “Our mission today is to bring these villains in the photos to their doom, create as much chaos as possible, and then withdraw via the designated route. Is that alright?”
"Of course, no problem!"
After transforming into a beast, Leone's lion paws cracked loudly.
"I wish I could tear those bastards apart right now!"
“But… we can’t act yet, can we?” Hill obediently raised her hand. “Because we haven’t gotten hold of the patrol routes yet, and we don’t have their shift schedules…”
“That is a problem.” Brad pondered. “Logically speaking, as the captain of the security team, he shouldn’t be on patrol or working overtime. He should be here by now. We’re waiting for him to deliver the intelligence!”
“Don’t worry,” Akame said. “He said before that if he doesn’t arrive on time, we can proceed as planned.”
“Really? But we haven’t gotten the most crucial intelligence yet,” Brad said.
"Exactly! With so many people to kill tonight, I don't want to be surrounded by soldiers from the capital!"
Lubbock agreed with this.
Although darkness was approaching, the night would provide cover for these assassins.
However, tonight's mission is arduous, and even though everyone chooses to trust Lu Ye, they will not easily risk their lives.
In the early days of the capital, in order to maintain public order, branches of the garrison were set up in various places.
In case of any incident, the garrison members and soldiers stationed in the city can reach the scene as quickly as possible.
After all, tonight's mission for Night Raid is not just to kill, but also to make a big enough commotion.
Once surrounded, even with the Imperial Arms, escape would be impossible.
After all... there are quite a few Imperial Arms users within the Imperial Capital's army.
Thinking of this, the name involuntarily came to mind for everyone in the Night Raid.
—Esdeath.
She has now returned from the battlefield.
If you run into her... you probably won't even be able to take a few more people down with you.
Brad was about to say something, but Violet, who had been sitting quietly the whole time, spoke up.
"There are 33 patrol teams tonight, with 6 people in each team. Thirteen of the teams will patrol around the outermost edges of the capital, namely Bruny Street in the east and Aix Avenue in the west, patrolling the civilian areas. The remaining patrol teams will be distributed in the city center, patrolling the surrounding area in concentric circles, and then taking turns until the shift changes. The shift change time is 4:00 a.m.."
The girl spoke clearly and without the slightest hesitation.
As everyone stared at her in surprise, Violet continued:
“There are two routes to retreat. Different escape routes will be chosen at different times. One is the one you already know, which is to go south from the city center through the slums and then evacuate the capital. But this is the best route before 2 a.m. Once it is past 2 a.m., we will have to retreat from the tree-lined avenue on the west side of the capital, because at that time the soldiers will be positioned to the east and they will approach the location of the incident from there.”
How do you know all this?
Lubbock looked very surprised.
Violet's performance was like that of a top student who had memorized a text perfectly.
“He told me this by his bedside last night.” Violet tilted her head, her clear eyes sweeping over everyone present. “He said that if he couldn’t arrive on time today, I would be the one to deliver the message.”
"Really? You remember it so clearly. You've really gone to a lot of trouble."
"Ok?"
Violet tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.
“It wasn’t hard work. He said it once, I just recited it silently, and then I remembered it.”
Mine's hand, which was rubbing Violet's head, suddenly paused, and then she was startled.
"What? So fast? Could it be... Violet, you're actually quite clever?"
Upon hearing this, Violet nodded firmly.
"Yes, he said that I'm very smart!"
Although Akame's face remained expressionless, a hint of envy flickered in her eyes.
Because until now, she has never been praised with the word "smart".
Leone saw through Akame's thoughts and smiled, telling her not to worry about it.
Ignoring the girls' antics, Brad thought for a moment and then realized what was going on.
Lu Ye is now the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, and he can change the garrison's patrol routes.
He must have already made the plan last night and told Violet about it.
As for why the Night Raid team wasn't told... the reason isn't complicated.
Lu Ye has finalized the patrol route last night, and can make changes during today's office hours.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances or last-minute route changes, Lu Ye was originally supposed to come and hand over the intelligence in person, but he was absent for some reason.
Lubbock understood the meaning at that moment.
But there was still one thing he didn't understand.
"But...why can't Lu Ye come? Could it be that he's in some kind of trouble?"
"I think the only reason, besides the fact that my identity was exposed, is probably the Imperial Arms," Bright analyzed.
"Teigu?" Akame was somewhat confused. "Lu Ye is a Teigu user, could it be that there's something wrong with his Teigu?"
“No, do you remember beheading Zank?” Bright said. “Luye killed Zank, but he handed the Teigu over to Najenda to deal with. Now that he’s the captain of the Imperial Capital Guard, he’ll definitely be questioned about the whereabouts of Zank’s Teigu, right?”
"I see. So that guy's been entangled with some high-ranking figures in the capital?" Lubbock frowned. "This is not good."
"I don't think so."
Brad laughed at that moment.
As a former soldier, he keenly sensed something at that moment.
"That guy Lu Ye probably anticipated that he might not be able to come, which is why he instructed Violet in advance. That's why we don't need to worry about him."
Lubbock thought about it and agreed.
Since they've already anticipated the future threats, Lu Ye should have made ample preparations, right?
"That guy really acts like he's in complete control!" Mine said stubbornly. "But now that we know the patrol route and arrangements, shouldn't we set off?"
“There are thirteen targets in total,” Akame said. “Make sure it’s done cleanly and efficiently.”
“Then let’s cheer up,” Brad said, instantly enveloped in pure white armor, “On a dark and stormy night…”
“A night of murder!” Leone laughed wildly.
