Looking at the shadows and Undead soldiers that had suddenly appeared, Lubbock couldn't help but gulp. Although he knew these were allies, he didn't know why, but he just felt a sense of evil.
Soon, all exits of the Imperial Capital were blocked.
Abel turned to Esdeath, Leone, and the sisters beside him and said, "Then everyone, let's begin."
"Yes!"
With that, the four rushed towards the Imperial Capital.
The Three Beasts led by Liver and the Jaegers led by Run followed behind the four.
Seeing his old superior also rush in, Bulat burst out laughing. "Hahaha, Genereal, let's fight side by side."
With that, Bulat also followed.
Now there were only five people left on the scene.
Mine and the others were slightly stunned.
They just rushed in like that?
Mine asked, "Is this a night raid on the Imperial Capital?"
It was called a night raid, but what was the difference between this and a direct assault?
Regarding Mine's words, Abel said, "That's right, eliminate everyone who sees us. This is a perfect night raid."
Listening to Abel's words, everyone fell silent and thought it made sense.
Similarly, this also showed Mine and the others the shameless side of this Northern King.
"Alright, don't worry about so much, let's go."
With that, Abel walked towards the Imperial Palace.
"Let's go, Sheele, Chelsea."
"Mm, let's go."
"Okay."
The three of them caught up with Abel's steps.
Lubbock watched the departing group, squatting in place, and complained, "This... this unorganized action..."
With that, he stood up, intending to leave. But on second thought, his original departing steps quickly turned, and he ran in the direction they had left.
"I won't let Najenda look down on me!"
The moment everyone stepped into the Imperial Capital, Syura opened his eyes.
"We have guests. But a mere dozen people dare to trespass into the Imperial Capital."
He got up and went to the door, speaking to a soldier, "Go tell Minister Honest that someone has trespassed into the Imperial Capital, and they are rushing towards the Imperial Palace."
"Oh, and while you're at it, inform General Budo."
"Okay, Syura-sama."
With that, the soldier went to deliver the order.
Syura used his Teigu, Dimensional Formation: Shambhala, to move to Wild Hunt's base.
Inside the base, the team members were not resting. Everyone was somewhat excited. After all, they had transformed from a ragtag army into a formally organized team.
The members of the Wild Hunt were:
The swordsman with superb swordsmanship—Izo.
The alchemist whose body had undergone countless modifications—Dorothea.
The singer who enjoyed toying with men—Cosmina.
And finally, the pirate who dominated the southern islands—Enshin.
Izou was currently wiping his beloved sword "Kōsetsu", while Dorothea was tinkering with alchemy, and Cosmina sat on the sofa, contemplating how to toy with men tomorrow.
As for Enshin, he was thinking about where he and Syura would go to have fun tomorrow, as they shared the same hobbies.
At this moment, Syura suddenly appeared. "Everyone, you haven't rested yet."
"Syura-sama!"
The moment they saw Syura, they quickly knelt on one knee and saluted.
"Alright, get up. Little mice have entered the Imperial Capital. It's time for you all to get moving."
"Understood!"
Without Syura needing to say more, the members of the Wild Hunt quickly left the room to find their prey.
—
Minister's Residence.
The meat in Honest's hand seemed to never stop. He tore at the strips of meat in his hand, listening to the soldier's report.
"Minister Honest, the message has been delivered. I will now leave to inform General Budo."
"Mm." Honest didn't care, waving his hand to indicate he could leave.
"Interesting, but how can I refuse something that delivers itself to my doorstep?"
"Suzuka, Sten, Mez."
The three quickly arrived before Honest.
"Greetings, Minister Honest."
"Mm, little mice have entered the Imperial Capital. Go and help Wild Hunt deal with them."
"Yes, Minister Honest."
With that, the three disappeared from where they stood.
Honest changed his clothes and left his residence, walking towards the Imperial Palace. After all, with this incident, he definitely had to report it. And the young Emperor was his last trump card.
...
At the same time, General Budo's residence.
"Night Raid invading the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes, General Budo."
"Thank you for your trouble. Please make another trip and have the remaining soldiers quickly gather." Budo said, handing the token in his hand to the soldier.
"Understood."
As the soldier left, Budo went to his armor and put on each piece.
...
Abel stood in the sky. Looking at the bustling Empire below, he couldn't help but sigh, "Wouldn't it have been better this way from the start?"
He clearly had absolute power, so why bother with these guys playing management games?
Look at other transmigrators, didn't they all just sweep through everything?
Below, Akame and Kurome were running wildly on the street. This action was discovered by the patrolling soldiers.
"Stop! Who are you!"
"One of them seems to be on the wanted list, and the other seems to be Kurome-sama."
"But how did Kurome-sama get mixed up with the girl on the wanted list?"
"Who cares, it's our time to earn merit!"
A group of patrolling Imperial Guard members looked at Akame and Kurome, already excited.
Akame and Kurome were very calm watching all of this.
"Nee-san, let's go together."
"No problem, Kurome."
A moment later, the two made their move.
Clang!
Murasame and Yatsufusa were simultaneously drawn from their sheaths.
Akame and Kurome's eyes lit up slightly. This was their first battle after becoming devils.
Amidst the flashes of light, the Imperial Guards fell one after another, blood splattering.
The patrolling soldiers didn't expect these two to be so formidable. They shouted in terror, but they were utterly powerless against the attacks of the sisters.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Someone has trespassed into the Imperial Capital!"
"It's Night Raid!"
"No! Not only Night Raid, but also Esdeath and her subordinates! Why?!"
"Kill them! Protect the Imperial Capital!"
From all directions, shouts echoed through the sky.
As the most important place in the entire Empire, the soldiers stationed in this city were the elite of the elite. Their reaction speed was second to none.
Soon, the soldiers had already formed ranks and began to fight on their own.
Watching all of this unfold, Akame and Kurome exchanged glances and charged towards the soldiers.
Clang!
Izou, with a blade of grass in his mouth, stood with his sword blocking Akame's path.
Seeing this, Kurome couldn't help but exclaim, "Nee-san!?"
Akame said, "It's fine, go deal with the surrounding enemies."
Kurome nodded and charged into the midst of the soldiers.
Izou said, "This is my beloved sword, Kōsetsu. Today, your blood will be its sacrifice."
