Survive with the beautiful girl

Everyone who attacked at night... betrayed the Empire... I..."

Kurohita, who was struggling both mentally and physically, covered her head in pain, while Akohita quickly stood in front of her sister.

"Hei Tong, back off!

Leave this to me!"

Kaguya Shinomiya arrived in time, knocked Kuronetō unconscious, and led her to retreat to the rear. It would be better to get rid of a teammate whose mental state was unstable and who was like a time bomb.

She planned to distance herself from Esdeath and suppress Esdeath from a distance together with Hayasaka Ai.

Akahime drew out the spare weapon "Kirii Ichimonji" from her waist and held two long swords in both hands.

The damage caused by "Kiri Ichimonji" cannot be recovered, and the "cursed poison" on the "Murasame" sword can greatly threaten Esdeath's life.

With Murasame in hand, Esdeath's attention will definitely be focused on "Murasame" first.

Without special inquiries, even Esdeath might not be aware of the special abilities of the servant "Kirii Ichimonji", and this is exactly Akame's opportunity.

Hayasaka Ai took the lead in firing bullets to suppress Esdeath from a distance. Now it was difficult for Esdeath to create a thick ice wall to block her sniper attack like she did at the beginning.

Esdeath's gaze lingered on Yukinoshita Yukino, a smile of battle enthusiasm revealed on her face. When facing a joint attack by enemies, she would naturally prioritize breaking through their weaknesses. Even if her ability to control ice was weakened at this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino would not be her opponent.

Yukino Yukinoshita used the "paper painting" technique to try to dodge Esdeath's kick, but Esdeath predicted the direction of the dodge in advance.

"I've already figured out your technique. Why don't you try dodging it again?

Little sheep~"

Esdeath kicked Yukino Yukinoshita fiercely in the side, causing her lumbar vertebrae to deform. Her breathing, which had been in a fighting rhythm, stagnated, and a taste of rust appeared in her mouth. In the end, she couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood with ice chips.

Esdeath turned around and used the long and narrow sword in her right hand to swing away "Murasame", and used her left hand to barely create an ice shield to block in front of her.

The sharp blade of "Kiri Ichimonji" cut through the ice that Esdeath hastily made, leaving a deep scar on the palm of her left hand where the bone was visible.

Esdeath, risking her life despite her injuries, ignored the arrows and bullets behind her, and pierced Akame's thigh with the long and narrow sword with her backhand.

Akame's speed is the fastest among everyone, no slower than Esdeath in her prime. Esdeath will definitely prioritize using up Akame's advantage.

The bullets and arrows penetrated into Esdeath's body and were about to explode, but Esdeath froze them with her ice control ability, reducing further damage.

Esdeath calmly assessed the situation. There were still two enemies left. The energy she had accumulated could be used to force freeze one enemy. The support of the "night raid" might appear at any time, so she had to fight quickly and decisively!

So the next person who needs to be dealt with is the female archer with difficult tracking ability.

Chapter 185: Mixed News

"Why is he injured so badly?"

Yotsuya Miko quickly jumped off Najeshita's mount and ran straight to Shinomiya Kaguya, who was unconscious, her body covered with frost, and her beautiful face was covered in blood.

Susanoo, who hurried back from the Revolutionary Army following Najeshita, quickly searched for survivors on the battlefield that seemed to have been hit by a natural disaster.

Hayasaka Ai dragged her right leg that was broken by Esdeath's kick, and used a sniper rifle to support her body as she struggled to come to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"In order to keep Esdeath, Ms. Kaguya projected the spiral sword at close range and let it explode between herself and Esdeath...

I...I was kicked away by her before this."

Hayasaka Ai said this bitterly while casting healing magic on Shinomiya Kaguya.

If Esdeath's target was not Kaguya Shinomiya, then if she stood in front of her, she would have lost more than just her right leg.

Akame, who was also limping and holding Murasame's right arm that was cut off by Esdeath, came to Yotsuya Miko miserably carrying the paralyzed Yukinoshita Yukino on her back.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep her."

Najeshita stared at the part of Esdeath's left hand that was cut off by Akame with a serious expression, "You were able to seriously injure her, but still let her keep one hand and still be alive. You are already very remarkable.

When I received the news predicted by the divination tool in the Revolutionary Army, I immediately rushed here with Susanoo.

Unfortunately, it’s still a step too late! ”

Najeshitan punched the remaining thick tree trunk beside her in self-blame, and wood chips flew and the tree trunk exploded where she hit.

After a while, Susanoo, who was tracking the traces left by Esdeath, returned helplessly holding the unconscious Kuroneko.

"Esdeath's traces have disappeared. She is experienced in anti-tracking and is much more careful than any enemy I have ever encountered."

Najeshita's fists suddenly clenched, her nails digging deeply into her palms. She knew that the best chance to kill Esdeath had been missed.

Damn it! If she had received the news earlier, if Almonda had flown faster!

"Everyone gather now and move to another location.

You...are not...it's us who need training and cultivation!

If Liu Cheng who was taken away is not dead...we will take him back from Esdeath, and the Revolutionary Army's spies in the imperial capital will help us keep an eye on her movements.

Once Esdeath appears, we will all go out and bury her!"

-------------------------------------

A week later, in the southeast direction, at the Magu Plateau, 800 kilometers away from the imperial capital.

In a secret place among dozens of flat-topped mountains rising from the ground, the gathered "Night Raid" members are performing their respective duties, carrying out their respective training and work.

This place is sparsely populated, and the level of dangerous species nearby is so high that even if it is a "night raid", one has to be on high alert at all times to guard against possible threats at any time.

After suffering a deus ex machina-like attack from Esdeath, Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others suppressed the complacency in their hearts caused by their improved strength.

"Is it convenient for you to come in?"

Najeshita knocked on Yuzu Aihara's door.

Yuzu, who was practicing sword Zen with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes. The dark environment cast a shadow on her face.

"Please come in."

Yuzu picked up the "Shallow Fighter" across her knees and stood up to greet the arrival of the BOSS. The moment she stood up, her legs, which were numb from sitting for a long time, shook and she almost fell forward.

"Esdeath has returned to the Imperial Capital, accompanied by the three beast warriors who returned from the North."

Yuzu's eyes lit up, and Najeshita continued speaking while looking at her beautiful eyes that seemed to have suddenly come alive.

“She did have a man encased in ice with her.

Chelsi, you come and tell her what you saw."

Najeshitan moved herself aside to block Chelsea's body, leaning against Yuzu's door frame for the first time in a long time, with a cigarette in her mouth, ready to smoke.

As if remembering that the two girls were still here, she asked for their opinions, "Do you mind?"

Yuzu looked straight at Chelsea. She knew Chelsea's imperial weapon ability, "Gaia Foundation", which allowed Chelsea to transform into anything according to her own wishes, and was most suitable for gathering intelligence.

Chelsea frowned, and Najeshitan turned around knowingly and squatted outside the door with her back to the two girls.

"Sister-chan, long time no see.

Well... for you it should be said that it is our first meeting.

My name is Chelsea. In order to guard against those assassination team members who defected here, I have been disguising myself as a cat and moving around with you.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help during Esdeath's sudden attack.

I had planned to use the power of my imperial weapon to sneak into her mansion ahead of time, disguise myself as a servant, and wait for an opportunity to poison and assassinate her.

But unexpectedly, Esdeath had recovered most of her body outside the imperial capital, and finally returned to the imperial capital with the three beast warriors who returned from the north.

Riva, one of the three beast warriors, was very alert and returned to Esdeath's mansion.

Not only did he strengthen the security inside the mansion, he even had to let people taste the water and food before he was satisfied, always on guard against potential enemies like me poisoning him."

As a wise and brave former general of the empire, Riva is naturally aware of the hidden darkness within the empire. Esdeath's strength is unquestionable, and her beauty is also known to everyone.

But now that she was seriously injured, naturally some ignorant people would reveal their dark desires. In addition, he himself was also a master of poison, and many enemies died at his hands.

Talking about the failure of her assassination plan, Chelsea's originally bright smile became a little helpless. She took out a lollipop from somewhere, tore open the wrapper, and handed it to Yuzu in a friendly manner.

"What I can confirm at the moment is that, based on my observations while lurking in Esdeath's mansion, your brother is not in any danger of death for the time being."

Chelsea patted the girl in front of her in a friendly manner. When she turned into a cat and lurked around everyone to observe, Yuzu's innocence and cuteness were very much to her liking.

In Orange's words, teasing Pomelo is a very fun thing.

It is precisely because of her affection that Chelsea teases the person she likes. In some ways, she is actually very similar to Orange.

"Can you tell me a little more about this?"

Yuzu took Chelsea's hand and invited her to sit on the edge of her bed, with a hint of pleading in her tone.

"I suggest you don't get too close to it. Esdeath has a bad temper and likes to torture her enemies..."

Najeshita subconsciously used her right hand that had been destroyed by Esdeath to touch the eye that she had also blinded. If it weren't for Yotsuya Miko's special ability, she would now be considered half disabled.

Esdeath's character is so bad that she would even let her enemies go just to enjoy the battle. After they get up and challenge her again, she would trample them underfoot again and completely crush their dignity...

In order not to affect Yuzu's mood, Najeshitan reminded Chelsea to be careful with her words.

Chapter 186: Esdeath's Training

“You are so tenacious!

It’s the third day.”

Daidas, a man of huge stature and ferocious appearance, with messy yellow hair and a devil's horn-shaped hair ornament, looked back at the torture chamber with its closed door, from which hoarse wails could be heard occasionally.

That room was the private training room of the Imperial General Esdeath, and it was currently holding a "prey" that she had hunted.

"There are only a few people who can withstand the general's flogging, especially the subsequent kneeling on the stone, water torture, and boiling cauldron torture...

I remember the northern hero before, he surrendered before he could even withstand the water torture.

Now we should use wax oil to pour on the body, right?"

The gray-haired Liva closed his eyes and shook his head slowly and gracefully. "It's rare to see a general admire someone so much..."

Daidas looked strange, "Appreciation? Are you sure you don't enjoy torturing him? This kid is really stubborn. He hasn't said anything for three days.

If this continues, sooner or later, the adults will play with you to death...

It's a pity for that pretty face and the body that has the strength of at least a general.
