"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."

Tsukushi, holding the still-smoking Prometheus gun, playfully stuck out her tongue.

“It’s alright, I also think this guy talks too much nonsense, let’s take them down!” Mahiro said.

"Yes, Lady Yotsuba!!!"

The response from the group was deafening.

A one-sided, overwhelming, and bloody massacre quietly unfolded on this land.

P.S.: It's the beginning of the month, could you please send me, a struggling writer, some free razor blades to help with household expenses?

Chapter 141 Pursuit of Najenda (5K)

"Commander, there's an emergency ahead!"

The large convoy of horse-drawn carriages that had come out of Dayuan Town suddenly stopped halfway.

The horses pulling the carriage seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying; they all neighed loudly, and suddenly their hooves reared up, almost throwing the people off the carriage.

After the horse's hooves landed, it dared not take another step forward!

"What's wrong?!"

The commander Sabatini got out of the carriage to check on the situation, but as soon as he lifted the curtain, a foul, nauseating stench hit him.

On the road ahead, blood stained the soil, and even the wind carried a strong stench of blood.

This stands in stark contrast to their side, like a dividing line between the human world and purgatory.

"...Commander, over there...."

Someone pointed shakily to the pile of roadblocks ahead.

Upon seeing this, Commander Sabatini's pupils constricted sharply, his whole body trembled, and he revealed a look of fear.

The roadblocks that blocked their way were made of piles of bloody human heads!

Many people vomited upon seeing this scene.

Who on earth could have killed so many people and left them here?!

"Captain, those heads look like those of bandits who have been entrenched in the Hillanam Mountains..."

"What?!!!"

Sabatini was alarmed and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He had heard of that band of mountain bandits. They were said to be all fierce and powerful people from the north, and the revolutionary army had tried to recruit them many times, but they were repeatedly rejected.

Unexpectedly, the band of over a hundred mountain bandits was killed and their bodies were found right here!

"Turn the carriage around and return to Dayuan Town!"

Commander Sabatini made a decisive order, but it was too late.

"Hmph, we've been waiting for you for a long time, you members of the Sabatini Wandering Performers' Troupe!"

Several figures emerged from the hillsides on both sides. They initially thought it was an army to wipe out the bandits, but unexpectedly, the people blocking their way were a group of children who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, with the oldest being only sixteen or seventeen.

Everyone felt relieved.

"Why are you stopping us? Sabatini's performance in Ohara Town is over." A pretty young woman in her early twenties stood in front of them and said with a smile.

However, Nahashu suddenly drew his Water Dragon Sword and charged forward first.

The speed was so fast that the girl didn't even see Nahashu's movements before she felt a chill on her neck, followed by a gush of blood. She died instantly as her carotid artery was severed.

Nahashu, standing to the side, casually flicked his wrist, wiping the blood off the blade. His expression remained calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Amulia!!!"

The troupe members screamed the name of the dead girl.

They never expected that these children would suddenly turn violent and kill people!

Wearing a top hat and resembling an English gentleman, the man with a cane asked timidly, "Who...who are you people? This should be the first time we've met!"

"The Sabatini Theatre Troupe, you use the Empire's parades and performances to gather intelligence for rebels and foreign tribes. You deserve to be executed."

The remaining Bonnie and his men immediately surrounded the carriages.

"You...you are an assassination squad sent by the Empire?"

Upon arriving at this conjecture, the entire Sabatini troupe turned pale with fright.

“You guessed right, the mission is to bury you,” Little Silver said coldly, staring at them.

"Commander...Commander, they're just teenagers, and there are more of us. If we all attack together, we definitely won't lose!"

One of the bald, burly men said menacingly.

"Commander, let's fight them!"

The thirty-odd people behind him were emboldened, believing he was right and that they couldn't just sit and wait to die!

"Alright, we haven't fulfilled our promise to change the country, how can we die here! My comrades, follow me and break out!"

Upon hearing the leader's declaration, the other members raised their weapons and shouted in unison—

"The empire is now utterly corrupt!"

"The people have not yet escaped the suffering of poverty!"

"The rule of those parasites who covet wealth and power has not yet been overthrown!"

"Damn empire! How can we fall here?!"

.....

"Lady Yotsuba was right after all... They looked just like ordinary people, but they really were spies for the rebels!"

Akame murmured softly, her crimson eyes suddenly turning cold. She slowly drew the Murasame sword from her waist and charged out.

"Target the Sabatini Theatre Company, and annihilate them all!!!"

"Go! As Lord Yotsuba instructed, leave only two alive, and kill all the rest of the rabble!"

Nahashu's calm expression instantly turned into extreme coldness. He twirled the Water Dragon Sword in his hand and with a sudden swing, two heads fell to the ground.

Although these people were spies gathering intelligence for the Revolutionary Army and their abilities were no less than those of ordinary soldiers, they were far inferior to the assassination squad trained by Mahiro.

Like wolves among sheep, screams rang out one after another.

"That despicable empire, actually made...made you children do...do such a thing!"

Sabatini gripped his cane tightly in anger, his heart filled with sorrow as he watched his companions die one by one.

"Further words are pointless, just die!!!"

Little Silver excitedly brandished the large sword he had obtained from the bandit leader and charged toward the rebel army.

The long, curved, and wide blade resembles Ichigo Kurosaki's Zangetsu.

Even without any weapon training, Xiao Yin could wield this rugged broadsword very well using only brute force. With the addition of the power of the Thousand Layers Robe to manipulate the soil, she could even rival the killing speed of Hei Tong.

Bonnie and Cornelia were at the biggest disadvantage. They specialized in hand-to-hand combat and could only take down one person at a time. Moreover, their prey was often stolen by bullets fired by Tsukushi.

Mahiro didn't lift a finger throughout the entire fight, his gaze fixed on the battle, his lips twitching incessantly.

He originally wanted to capture two people alive and try to use hypnosis to find out their identities, but he didn't expect that these people would take the initiative to introduce themselves.

Is it really that stupid?

If he had been a little more stubborn, he might not have died so quickly.

"Never mind, it's all the same. After all, there's other information we can use to extract more information."

Soon after, the battle was over, and the area around the carriage was littered with corpses. Of the more than thirty members of the troupe, only the troupe leader and a girl with pigtails at the back of her head survived.

"Why...why not just kill us outright?"

Seeing his comrades die before his eyes, Sabatini knelt on the ground in grief.

He had spent several years gathering like-minded companions, only to have them all wiped out by the Empire's spy forces...

"I'm not killing you because you don't deserve to die, but because you still have the information I want on you."

A voice, completely different from the previous one, rang out softly, causing Sabatini, who was immersed in grief, to slowly raise his head. The image of the young man who had not made a move until now was reflected in his glasses.

The assassins who had killed the troupe members huddled together around the young man.

It's obvious without even thinking that this young man is the one leading this assassination squad.

"You corrupt official, I'm going to kill you!!!"

The girl's face was contorted with rage as she charged towards Yotsuba Mahiro without regard for her own safety, as if she wanted to take him down with her!

Even with her hands bound, she used her teeth as weapons, trying to tear a piece of flesh from Yotsuba Mahiro's body.

But it's not that easy.

"--cough!"

With a single reach, Mahiro easily grabbed the girl's neck, slowly lifting her up until her feet left the ground, like a fish leaping onto the shore, struggling incessantly.

"Hmm, you're quite pretty. What's your name?"

Mahiro carefully examined the girl he was holding in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face.

But in this context, his smile looked like that of a villain.

When the other girls heard Mahiro ask that question, their hearts skipped a beat.

Could it be that Lord Yotsuba is interested in this woman?

We haven't won Yotsuba-sama's love yet!

Who on earth left behind such a scourge of a prisoner!

The girls kept glancing at their companions, and finally, under their watchful eyes, Green weakly raised his hand.

He did it.

As a result, he was subjected to a barrage of stares from the girls, almost to the point of killing him.

"Bah! Don't even think about getting anything out of me, you corrupt official! No matter what you do to me, I will never submit!"

"Tch, I'm not interested in secondhand goods like you."

Faced with the girl's declaration of never giving up, Mahiro couldn't help but scoff, and then exerted a little force in his palm.

With a snap, the girl's body went limp.

He casually tossed the remaining corpses aside, and before they even hit the ground, they decomposed into dust and dissipated with the breeze.

"Natalia!!!"

Commander Sabatini let out a mournful cry, his eyes turning ashen with death.

It's over, it's all over...

"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer. Do you understand?"

Mahiro crouched down in front of the last remaining Sabatini. Just as Sabatini was about to refuse, he looked up and met those dark eyes. The moment he looked up, he seemed to be captivated by the fleeting light in those eyes.

Whatever questions were asked, Sabatini answered them without reservation.

Although "Mystic Eyes" is just ordinary optical vibration-based hypnotic magic, its effects are still terrifying in the hands of the Yotsuba family, who are skilled in mental interference.

From Sabatini, he learned that the supporters of the revolutionary army in the northwest were the governor of Moonwave City, a guy named Lakiri.

He remembered that guy.

He can hardly be considered a person of conscience; rather, he's just like Minister Ernest.

It was only because of his own choice of sides that he could not gain a foothold in the Empire, so he turned to the Revolutionary Army.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that the conscience of the empire, even if they were to resign from their posts and return to their hometowns, or even if they were to be killed by their ministers, would not go and join the so-called revolutionary army.

Moreover, winning over the governor of Lelang City, Lakiri, was not the end of the matter. The revolutionary army also used them to cooperate with the foreign tribes on the western border to fight against the empire.

The price is that when the empire falls, the lands on the western border will be divided among these foreign tribes for their administration.
