Imperial Headquarters.
Inside the minister's residence.
Bright lights.
At the dining table, a giant man was tearing apart a piece of meat.
He was second only to the emperor in the entire empire; he was Minister Ernest.
For him, meat must be fresh.
At that moment, a figure appeared in front of him and bowed to him.
"My lord, I have something to report."
"It's Thorn. What's so important?"
The man before them was Thorn, one of Ernest's Four Rakshasa Demons.
Thorn respectfully replied, "General Esdeath's three beast warriors, as well as the hunter squad formed recently, are all no longer in the capital."
Minister Ernest stuffed everything in his hand into his mouth.
Then chew and swallow it thoroughly.
He looked at Thorn, pondering, "The three beastmen and the hunter squad are all gone?"
Given Esdeath's personality, she wouldn't bring everyone together.
"Are they all gone from the capital?"
"That's right, judging from the route, it's heading towards the northern border, it seems they're going to meet up with Esdeath."
As he listened to the report, Ernest seemed to be deep in thought.
Indeed, Esdeath hasn't sent any battle reports for a long time.
However, he was not worried about Esdeath betraying the country.
Of course, even if he betrays her, he can still disable Esdeath's Teigu.
Then they'll overwhelm her with people.
"My lord, should we send someone to investigate their specific purpose?" Thorn asked cautiously.
Ernest wiped his hands and then tapped the table.
The North definitely needs to be investigated.
He was also curious about why General Esdeath had transferred the Three Beasts and the Hunter squad away.
He looked at Ji Dao and said, "Keep a close eye on the movements on the northern border and report any news immediately."
In addition, be prepared for all kinds of situations.
If Esdeath has indeed betrayed us, send the message immediately.
"clear!"
As Thorn left, Ernest picked up another piece of meat and began to eat.
Now that the three beastmen and the hunter squad have left.
Then the safety of these people must be re-evaluated to protect them.
After all, those guys who raid at night are everywhere.
"Someone come here!"
"grown ups."
"Go and summon my unfilial son Sherah, and tell him that I have something important to give him."
"clear."
at the same time.
The headquarters of the night raid.
Inside the conference room, a woman with short white hair and light purple eyes was processing documents.
She is the former Imperial General, now the leader of the Night Raids—Najenda.
She looked at the documents in her hand, her brows furrowing slightly.
This is intelligence obtained by members of the revolutionary army.
The Empire's three beastmen and hunter squads all headed north to join Esdeath.
Najeta breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the news.
Now that the Three Beast Warriors and the Hunter squad have left the capital, the assassination attempt against the minister can proceed.
At that moment, an ordinary-looking girl with pink twin tails walked over holding a piece of information.
"BOSS".
"Oh, it's Mine. What's up?"
"BOSS, the king of the North has changed, and the princes of the North support the new king to ascend the throne."
All members of our revolutionary army in the north have lost contact.
The last contact person also disappeared after sending out the message.
Mine said quickly.
"What?!"
Najenda stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock and worry.
If it's just a few people who are out of contact, that's fine.
However, all communication with the north has been lost.
A new king was appointed in the north, Numa submitted, and all members of the northern revolutionary army went missing.
This means that the situation in the north has spiraled out of control.
The Empire's three beastmen and hunter squad headed north to meet up with Esdeath. Could it be that this new king is proving difficult even for Esdeath?
With this in mind, Najenda quickly calmed down and gave the order.
"Mine, immediately notify everyone to assemble."
"yes!"
With Mine gone, Najenda began to think of a solution.
The assassination plot against the minister must be reassessed; the situation in the north is clearly more urgent.
At this moment, members of the Night Raid arrived at the meeting hall one after another.
Najeta explained the situation to everyone, and their expressions turned serious.
We can't ignore what's happening in the north.
Moreover, the assassination plan targeting the minister cannot be easily abandoned.
Everyone turned their attention to Najenda.
She pondered for a moment and said, "I will take Akame and Leone to investigate the situation in the north."
"The assassination of the Imperial Minister is entrusted to you, Brand, with the others assisting you."
Brand crossed his arms and nodded.
No one else had any objections.
Everyone accepted the order and began their preparations.
Meanwhile, at the minister's residence.
Upon receiving her father's summons, Sheila kicked the door open and entered.
"Hey, old man, what do you want?"
Ernest was very lenient with his son.
Ernest asked him to sit down first.
"Sila, the three beastmen and the hunter squad have all left, so the Empire's defenses are inadequate."
Are you interested?
"Oh, I see. Of course I'm interested!"
Sheila agreed without hesitation.
I'm going to surpass my father, so I'll start from this point.
"good."
"But you need to choose the personnel yourself; I won't interfere with what kind of people you find."
"As long as you can protect the Empire's security and destroy the Night Raid organization."
"no problem."
After the night raid and his conversation with the ministers, during which he issued orders, two red dots appeared in the shadows and then disappeared.
The capital of the northern kingdom.
Ye Xiao sat on the throne, looking at the documents in his hands, and rubbed his forehead.
"Phew~ Finally done."
All arrangements for the people of the North have been made, and they can head south in a short time.
After the six kings were defeated, the world was united.
He could also destroy the Three Kingdoms and unify the world.
As this thought popped into his head, Ye Xiao was taken aback. Wasn't he into crossover anime?
It feels like I'm playing a Domination game.
Moreover, she could have easily supported Esdeath to become Empress, so what was she doing!
Who knows what will happen if I keep thinking about it?
"Um?"
Ye Xiao felt a pair of slender fingers massaging his head. He looked up and saw it was Esdeath.
"It's Esdeath."
"Yes, Master."
Neither of them spoke, and Esdeath gently massaged Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao enjoyed Esdeath's massage, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
At that moment, the Ghost Legion's personal guard emerged from the shadows.
The ghost knelt on one knee and then presented a letter.
Ye Xiao glanced at it, then laughed.
"Haha, interesting, I didn't expect to attract them here."
"What's wrong, Master?"
Ye Xiao handed the letter in his hand to Esdeath.
Esdeath started reading.
It turned out that her friend Najenda had taken Akame and Leone to the north to investigate the situation, while she left Brand behind to lead a group of members to prepare for the assassination of the Imperial Minister.
Minister Ernest allowed Sheila to choose his own men to protect the Empire and thwart the night raids.
"Do you have any thoughts, Esdeath?"
"How about I take care of Najenda and the others?"
(Wow, this is making my head spin. I shouldn't have used that approach before. It's so difficult to keep going.)
