"Hello everyone, I'm Chelsea, who's training as an apprentice of that old lady over there!"
This sound immediately relieved the oppressive atmosphere created by Barbara and Myoko.
"Chelsie, you called me 'old lady' again!"
It was only at this moment that the captain noticed this girl who was most easily overlooked.
Despite her seemingly carefree demeanor, which contrasts sharply with the sharp and assertive Barbara and Taeko, this girl exudes no murderous aura whatsoever, appearing just like an ordinary person.
But the captain understood that this was precisely what made the girl even more terrifying!
After Barbara and the others finished introducing themselves, the captain with the scar on his face cleared his throat and began to introduce himself.
“We are your helpers, we are…”
"Judging from their clothes and attire, they should be the Tengu Party, a mercenary group, right?"
Barbara interrupted the man.
"Yes, even the legendary Obelk was invited... It seems our enemies are really unlucky this time."
"Bad luck... I don't think so... Don't let your guard down."
Looking up at the clear sky, Barbara spoke meaningfully.
The minister of the Imperial Assassination Force also serves as the minister of the Imperial Capital Garrison, holding two positions in one person, and is said to be the youngest bureaucrat in history.
Not only that, but it is rumored that he is also very powerful. He was able to defeat General Esdeath, who was feared by the alien races, and he also killed nearly a thousand cavalrymen with a single blow.
Such an important person is definitely not simple...
-------------------------------------
"Lord Yotsuba, the White Wave River is just ahead."
Nahashu, who was riding in front as a sentry, turned to Yotsuba Mahiro and reported the situation.
As a river flowing from the west to the north of the empire, it spans hundreds of kilometers. Rebels heading to the northwest to seek cooperation with foreign tribes would inevitably pass through the Bailang River!
The intelligence Yotsuba Mahiro received stated that they needed to intercept the "cooperative trade with foreign tribes" that served as the rebels' financial source.
Although he couldn't remember all the plot details, this kind of information was obviously problematic at first glance.
Since it is a source of funding, it must be of paramount importance within the revolutionary army. How could it be exposed to the outside world so easily?
Makoto felt that this was most likely a trap, and probably set up specifically for them, just waiting for them to fall into it.
But that’s fine too.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
It's still uncertain who the prey is and who the hunter is.
Thinking of this, a strange smile slowly crept onto Mahiro's lips.
The others, upon hearing Nahash's report, were greatly invigorated.
Especially Xiao Yin, who stretched out her snow-white neck and gazed at the wide river hundreds of meters ahead, as if she could hear the continuous gurgling of the water.
“According to intelligence, the target will begin crossing the river around six or seven o’clock tonight. Lady Yotsuba, we have plenty of time to make arrangements,” Cornelia said happily.
"Hmm, that's a good suggestion. Let's rest here for a bit then."
"Great!"
The crowd cheered, and Nahashu, as always, found a quiet shady spot under a tree and picked up a book to read.
Aside from training and killing, Nahash's only interest seemed to be reading.
Bonnie, however, cheered excitedly.
"Oh, Yotsuba-sama, can we go to the river to catch fish?!"
Just as she was asking, Akame had already changed into the swimsuit she would wear to the hot springs after crossing the river and jumped straight into the river.
The cool river water brought a touch of coolness to the girl, and her long, black hair was wet with the clear water.
As she stood up from the river, water droplets left winding trails on Akame's body.
The girl's skin wasn't particularly fair, but long-term exercise gave it a healthy, rosy hue. Her body, honed through years of training, looked incredibly elastic, concealing an astonishing explosive power.
Water droplets rolled down Akame's chest. Akame's figure was full and well-proportioned, with a smooth curve in her silhouette that was both soft and sexy.
While Akame's development wasn't top-tier among the many girls, it was still remarkably firm and full, like a perfect semicircle clasped in front of her chest. Her waist was slender yet strong, with a slightly visible V-line extending downwards from her waist.
Her perky, round buttocks were incredibly elastic, and her long, slender, and firm legs were slightly parted to support her entire body.
With the passage of time, not only is her face exquisite, but her entire body is also very beautiful, with a touch of girlish innocence and healthy vitality. Long-term exercise has not only increased her fighting power, but also brought her a healthy and energetic figure.
At least in Makoto's opinion, it was very pleasing to the eye.
"Ah, Akame! Damn it, you ran away! Wait for me!"
Bonnie followed closely behind.
"I want to come too!"
"Me too!"
Black Eyes and Little Silver followed.
Only Cornelia and Tsukushi remained by his side.
It's no wonder they were so excited. Ever since they finished the training on concealing their auras, Mahiro had never taken them to the river to catch fish again.
For Mahiro, this might be a trivial matter, but for them, it is indeed their most precious memory.
In no time, the girls each caught a large number of fish and dragged them back to the shore.
"Hmph, Red Eyes and Black Eyes, which one of you will lend me your sword? I'll show you the unparalleled swordsmanship I honed in the kitchen of Lelang City!"
Bonnie stood with her hands on her hips, looking extremely proud.
"No."
"No loan."
Red Eyes and Black Eyes both gave each other dead fish eyes and directly rejected Bonnie's request.
This immediately deflated Bonnie's spirits.
“W-Why?!”
“Because it will smell fishy and be hard to clean off,” Akame said, and Kurome nodded in agreement. “Yes, sister is right. Kiriichimonji was a graduation gift from Yotsuba-sama, so it can’t be used for something like this.”
"What the hell? How could this be...?"
Bonnie stared wide-eyed, but unfortunately no one spoke up for her, leaving her puffing out her cheeks in a pitiful manner, hoping to get help from Mahiro.
Unfortunately, Mahiro only returned her a faint smile.
Well, the plan to showcase unparalleled swordsmanship has completely fallen through...
After everyone finished dinner in a cheerful atmosphere, Cornelia, Bonnie, and the others began sparring to warm up.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhenxun bought a large boat from a nearby village or town.
"Hey~ Everyone gather, get ready to go!"
Upon hearing Makoto's call, everyone rushed to the riverbank, but upon seeing the large ship moored there, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Wow, it's huge..."
It is 100 meters long, and the deck is about two stories high.
He bought it from a kind nobleman in a nearby village; it was said to be a boat that the nobleman used for river travel.
"Hey, Yotsuba-sama, are we going to cross the river on this boat? Aren't we going to wait for the rebels?" Cornelia couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's already past seven o'clock. Do you think those people will still show up?"
"Huh? So you mean...."
"It's simple. The intelligence coming from the capital is wrong. I guess these people are just waiting for us to get impatient and cross the river, so they can launch a surprise attack. So why don't we just fish them out with a straight hook?"
When the others heard him say that, they were a little confused, especially the stupid Bonnie, whose mind was completely stuck.
However, Mahiro didn't expect them to understand, and simply took them onto the large ship.
Ultimately, it's just a game of strategy, and it all comes down to who has the better move.
To be honest, it's quite interesting; he's curious to see how the other party will appear.
However, shortly after they boarded the large ship and began drifting on the river, night fell.
The crimson sunset, reflecting the blood-red twilight, is gradually fading.
In the dim light of the night, on the other side of the Bailang River, a fleet of ships consisting of two large cargo ships and several smaller vessels appeared!
"As expected, Yotsuba-sama was right..."
Cornelia stared intently at the large ships. They all seemed to have ill intentions, and they were heading straight for them!
However, not all the ships were heading towards them; at the rear of the fleet, a small boat was moving slowly forward.
The passengers on board were two young girls and an old woman—Barbara and her two apprentices from the Oberg assassination society!
"Chelsey, scout ahead."
"OK!"
Several makeup props emerged from her slender fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, Chelsea transformed from a human into an eagle, soaring through the night sky!
【Transformation Freedom Gaia Foundation】, the most unique cosmetic Teigu among all Teigu. It has no direct combat ability, but it allows the user to transform into anything according to their own will.
It was this special Imperial Arm that allowed Chelsea to successfully join the Oberg Assassination Society and become an assassin.
The reason the three of them followed at the back in this small boat was mainly to let the members of the Tengu Party test the waters and see what kind of strength this young man from the legendary Imperial Assassination Division really had.
Meanwhile, the vanguard of the Tengu Party had already made direct contact with Yotsuba Mahiro's ship.
"Haha, Imperial assassins, you've been tricked!" A man with a red bandage wrapped around his forehead laughed loudly at the people on the opposite ship.
At this moment, their ships had completely surrounded Zhenxun's ship.
The rebels were all gathered on the deck, roughly estimated to be over a hundred people, and each of them was holding a firearm!
"Hey, there are a few pretty girls here. Looks like I'm in for a good time tonight."
The second-in-command beside him squinted at the six women with red eyes.
“What a disgusting bunch,” Cornelia said with disgust, and the other girls nodded in agreement.
"They're just a bunch of small fry, we should just take them down."
Nahash spoke expressionlessly.
The next second, under the gaze of the other side, Nahashu's figure vanished!
"Varied....."
As a fierce gust of wind swept in, the captain, who had just uttered that one word, hadn't even had time to turn around when he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then his consciousness was swallowed up by endless darkness.
After the captain fell, Nahash stood up from the deck.
He casually flicked the blood from his sword, his long trench coat billowing in the river breeze. He slowly turned to look at the six-lived girl on the boat and said coldly:
"Keep up with them, take them down."
P.S.: I'm begging for some razor blades (a metaphor for criticism/punchable content)~ Thank you all for your support, dear readers~
Chapter 145 Just Because I Gave You One More Glance in the Crowd (5K)
Swah——
The cold longsword was wielded, and one person fell after another, just like the Grim Reaper's scythe reaping the Tengu Party members on the deck.
"shoot....."
The two Tengu Party members behind their leader had just reacted and were about to raise their guns to fire, but before they could even utter a word, a loud shout suddenly came from above.
"Haha!"
The sturdy boots moved swiftly like the wind, heading straight for their faces!
That was Bonnie. His long, powerful legs whistled through the air like whips, and he kicked their heads off on the spot.
