"Brother Bolai?"

Tatsumi nodded and said, "The three of us promise to complete the mission!"

"Ok!"

Sayu and Iyeas also nodded.

"This is a solo operation for the three of you after you enter the Night Raid. No one will lead you... because I believe you have the capital to complete this mission. However, I must remind you that no matter what the circumstances, you must not take it lightly, otherwise you will die... Especially Tatsumi, your personality is what I am most worried about. Therefore, Sayu will be the captain of the team this time."

Najeshitan glanced at Tatsumi. He had great potential, but his personality wasn't up to par. He didn't know how to be patient. If he were to be captain, he might cause trouble. It would be better to let the attentive Sayu lead the team.

Ah!

All three of them are good. If there is a chance, we will find suitable imperial weapons for them. This way, their strength will be even stronger, which will only benefit the night raid, not harm it.

"understand!"

Since entering Night Raid, under the guidance of the girls of Najeshitan, Shayu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and her personality has also changed from being weak and kind. At least she has become more thoughtful and knows how to read people's expressions.

"Go down!"

Najeshitan waved her hand and said, "I wish you complete your mission and return safely!"

The three responded and left the night raid base. Following the mission target's information, they arrived outside the Bolai brothers' residence. Since they had only recently joined the night raid, their faces were unfamiliar, and they weren't wanted. Therefore, Tatsumi and the other two easily approached the residence. Working together, they eliminated the bodyguards inside and infiltrated the residence of the civil servant Bolai brothers, where they each searched for the Bolai brothers' whereabouts.

Tatsumi walked down the stairs to the second floor and spotted the target in a hall. The two targets were currently drinking and hadn't noticed Tatsumi had entered the room. One of the men said, "The collection seems to be a little low this month. The minister is very unhappy."

"It's not our fault. He just reached out and took what we got. He ate all the meat and we could only eat the remaining bones. He didn't even give us a sip of soup."

Another man complained, "The minister has been asking for... well, lately."

"what happened to you?"

One of the brothers suddenly noticed his brother had stopped talking. Looking up, he discovered a longsword lodged in his brother's chest, blood pouring from the wound all over the table. He paled with fear, sobering up a bit, and tried to yell, "There's an assassin!" But before he could finish his words, Tatsumi grabbed his throat and slashed his neck to drain the blood.

"Target person solved!"

After several missions, Tatsumi also became somewhat cold-blooded, especially when dealing with those evil people who were corrupt and exploited the civilians. He had no mercy at all... After drawing his sword, he heard a panicked cry from behind him: "Dad... Who are you and why did you kill my dad!"

The source of the voice was a young child, who stared at Tatsumi with wide eyes.

Discovered, should I kill him? Or not?

Tatsumi gritted his teeth, finally broke out of the window, found Sau and Iyeas, and left.

He would never show mercy to the villains who deserved their punishment, but he couldn't kill innocent lives! Maybe to that little kid, his father was a good father, but to Tatsumi, they were unforgivable villains!

Esdeath's Mansion.

In a study, Esdeath stared absentmindedly at the portrait of Zhu Moye on the table. Below, three beast warriors knelt and saluted Esdeath, saying, "Your Excellency Esdeath, we have intelligence to report!"

"explain."

Esdeath's eyes never left Zhu Moye's portrait. This portrait was based on her memory of Zhu Moye. Although there were some differences, it was still about 70% similar.

"A branch of the Heavenly Fate Cult appeared on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital!"

Niu looked up and answered.

"The branch of the Tianming Cult!"

Ever since being defeated by Zhu Moye in the Ice Country, Esdeath had been thinking about him day and night since returning to the Imperial Capital, without a break. Now, upon hearing the news about the Tianming Cult branch, she looked up and hurriedly asked, "Any news on the Human Emperor Zhu Moye?"

"I'm not sure, but according to intelligence, the missionary of the Tianming Sect branch is a young man, about the same age as the Human Emperor Zhu Moye."

Liva replied.

"Let's go to the Tianming Sect branch!"

A glint flashed in Esdeath's eyes. She stood up and led the three beast warriors out of the mansion, heading for the Tianming Cult branch outside the imperial capital. When the four of them arrived at the Tianming Cult branch, they were met by a surging crowd, a black mass of no less than several thousand people.

Using the privileges of an imperial general, Esdeath entered the branch of the Tianming Cult. He searched the entire branch but could not find Zhu Moye. He captured a missionary, but he turned out to be a civilian born and raised in the imperial capital.

"Zhu Moye!"

Esdeath frowned, her joy gone, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back first!"

Chapter 287 Assassination List

three days later.

The imperial capital, the imperial palace.

The young emperor sat on the dragon throne, and next to him stood a man as strong as a bear. He was Minister Ernest. He held a large basin in his hand, which was filled with pieces of meat and was chewing constantly.

"I wonder why His Majesty summoned Esdeath?"

Super S Queen Esdeath knelt on one knee on the ground, raised her head and asked.

"Recently, rebels from the Revolutionary Army's Night Raid Squad have been causing trouble frequently, and several officials have been assassinated. However, the Imperial Capital Guard has been unable to find any trace of the Night Raid, let alone apprehend them. This is why His Majesty summoned General Esdeath for this very purpose. I wonder what General Esdeath's opinion is?"

Minister Ernest took over the topic from Super S Queen Esdeath and answered her questions. He briefly explained the whole story, and his purpose was obvious.

"Yes!"

The young emperor nodded and said, "General Esdeath, please tell me your opinion. I would like to hear it."

"The Night Raid Organization? From what I understand, the members of the Night Raid Organization are all quite powerful, and their whereabouts are mysterious. It won't be easy to take them out. But it's not a difficult task either."

Esdeath's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, and she said confidently, "Leave this matter to me. I've been a bit idle in the capital lately anyway, so it's time to move around a bit. But I have a request!"

"What does General Esdeath want?"

Upon hearing this, the young emperor waved his hand, signaling the other party to speak directly.

"I need six Teigu users!"

Esdeath didn't waste any time and directly stated her request. However, she requested six Imperial Artifact Users at once, which was quite a large request. However, for the Empire, it was still quite affordable.

"no problem!"

Minister Ernest nodded and smiled at the young emperor. "Your Majesty, as long as General Esdeath takes action, you can rest assured. The demise of the Night Raid Assassination Organization is imminent."

"Yes, Minister, you are right. General Esdeath, I agree to your request. Minister, I will leave this matter to you. Please transfer six Imperial Artifact Users from various positions in the Empire to General Esdeath as soon as possible."

The young emperor nodded and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Minister Ernest smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll see General Esdeath off!"

"Ok!"

The young emperor nodded.

"General Esdeath please!"

Minister Ernest and Esdeath left the hall together. The latter glanced at Minister Ernest and thought, "If someone is being too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." She was afraid that the minister had something to ask of her again.

"Speak, Minister!"

Esdeath raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said jokingly.

"General Esdeath is truly clever... Three days ago, my civil servant, Brother Bolai, was assassinated by the Night Raid Organization... Since then, many of my own civil servants and generals have been killed... Well, recently, former Minister Joly and his daughter are returning to the Imperial Capital. I believe the two events are related, so I'd like to ask General Esdeath to resolve a few issues..."

Minister Ernest's face turned grim, and he said with a strange laugh, "I wonder if General Esdeath..."

"Yes! However, you must transfer six imperial artifact users to me as soon as possible. After that, I will set up a department and I will be fully responsible. No one can interfere. I wonder what the minister means?"

Esdeath glanced at Minister Ernest, and the corners of her mouth lifted up slightly, revealing a beautiful curved smile.

"no problem!"

Minister Ernest smiled and said, "I will convey General Esdeath's request to His Majesty."

Convey my request?

Who doesn't know that the politics of the entire empire are in the hands of you, Minister Ernest, and that your will is the will of His Majesty?

Esdeath glanced at Minister Ernest and said nothing. She left the palace and returned to her own residence. She summoned the three beast warriors under her command to gather in the study.

"I wonder what orders Lady Esdeath has?"

The three beastmen knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"Former Minister Qiao Li and her daughter are returning to the Imperial Capital recently... The three of you will pretend to be members of the Night Raid Organization. Intercept them outside the Imperial Capital, kill them in a high-profile manner, and promote the Night Raid."

Esdeath's fingers drummed on the table, making a "dong dong dong" sound. "I've got accurate intelligence. They'll pass through a village outside the imperial capital tomorrow morning. You'll strike there then. Be clean and don't leave anybody alive. Got it? And before that, kill everyone on this list, in the name of the Night Raid Organization."

After saying that, Esdeath threw the list in her hand over.

"Leave no one behind!"

"I understand. I will complete the task you've commanded perfectly. No one on this list will be spared. They will disappear from this world forever and cease to exist. They will only exist in hell!"

The three beastmen received the list, responded respectfully, and left the study. Following Esdeath's orders, they began assassinating the individuals on the list... These individuals were high-ranking officials within the empire. However, they were not members of Minister Ernest's faction, but rather officials with close ties to former Minister Joly. Most of these officials held high positions within the empire.

Minister Ernest had long wanted to deal with them, but had no excuse. Now, the night raid was just what he wanted. He could take the opportunity to eliminate these stubborn elements one by one, eliminate the trouble forever, and consolidate his position.

This is Minister Ernest's plan. He intends to kill two birds with one stone!

Although Esdeath knew that this was a conspiracy by Ernest, she was only a female general and would never interfere in politics, otherwise she would never help the evildoers. However, even if Esdeath interfered in politics, she would do everything according to her own ideas and no one could tell her what to do.

She is the strongest super S general in the empire, she has the qualifications!

Chapter 288 Former Minister Qiao Li

Suburbs of the imperial capital.

In the impoverished village, many people were homeless and had to sleep on the streets, covered with a thin blanket that only half covered their bodies. Everyone in the village was dejected, their faces as pale as death, and their bones were emaciated, like the walking corpse.

The cold wind blew and the villagers began to shiver.

Snow began to fall, and the temperature dropped several degrees again. Villagers with homes fled inside to avoid the cold, while those without homes were left on the streets, enduring the biting wind and suffering from frostbite.

A large, dangerous boar-like beast was pulling the vehicle, flanked by numerous guards. The vehicle was moving very slowly. The wheels were sunk into the snow, making the 200-meter stretch difficult to navigate. It took several minutes to advance just a dozen meters, moving at a snail's pace.

If you were on the flat streets of the imperial capital where people often clear the snow, you could almost run two hundred meters in less than ten seconds.

In the car sat a father and daughter, both of whom were of extremely noble status. One of them was the former minister of the empire, Joly, and his daughter, Sibia. They took in the tragic scene outside through the car window.

"This village is still so poor. I remember when I passed by here a few years ago... No, it's even poorer than a few years ago. It's obviously a wealthy country, why has it become like this!"

Jolly shook his head and sighed, "Has this country become so rotten? Do ordinary people no longer have the ability to live and work in peace?"

"Father still worries about the people."

Sibia glanced at her elderly father and sighed. At her father's age, he should have been enjoying his retirement and the rest of his life. However, Qiao Li could not bear to see the empire continue to decay, and could not bear to see the civilians displaced and living in dire straits. He decided to leave his post and return to the empire.

"It's truly great to return to my father, the capital of the Serpent's Nest."

Sibia admired her father, Jolly, very much. She said admiringly, "Father!"

"Now is not the time to retreat into seclusion for the sake of my own life. Looking at these civilians, I simply cannot bear to abandon them. I cannot bear to let them continue to be oppressed by the corrupt empire... Alas, a country cannot be ruled!"

Qiao Li frowned, worried. "If this situation really develops, I will be irreconcilable with that minister... Before leaving for the imperial capital, I contacted my former subordinates and prepared to return to the empire and take control of politics again... We can't let that guy continue to act recklessly."

"Don't worry, father. I will protect your safety."

Sibia nodded firmly.

"I truly have a wonderful daughter. It's a pity you're not a man, otherwise I would have let you take charge of the imperial army... Controlling the military would make things easier. Alas, I'm really worried about how you, being so brave, will find a good husband in the future."

Qiao Li glanced at Sibia and smiled kindly. "Sibia, you've grown up, and your father is very relieved. But as a girl, you must not be too heroic. That would make you no different from a boy. No man likes such a girl."

"Father, this... this has nothing to do with this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Sibia's face flushed red as he retorted, "Don't worry, father. I will definitely be able to get married... Besides, I'm not a brave warrior, I just know a little bit of martial arts... If I meet someone I like, I will definitely be able to get married."

"Feel sorry!"

Hearing this, Qiao Li couldn't help but laugh: "Sibia, don't be angry! Don't worry, even if you can't get married, your father will find a good family for you. With your looks, it won't be difficult to find a husband."

"Father!"

Sibia's face was utterly embarrassed, and she turned her head away from her father. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed three dark figures blocking the road, looking as if they were about to rob people. "Father," she said, "it looks like some unsightly fellows are trying to rob people."

"Bandits again? How did the security in this empire become so bad?!"

Qiao Li frowned and said angrily, "Come here, drive them away. If they resist, kill them..."

"Yes, Master Jolly!"

The guards drew their swords and surrounded the car to protect Jolly and Sibia inside. Sibia glanced at the guards with some concern and warned, "Be careful! Don't be careless!"
