"Hmm? What's going on?"
Hysilens, leading the Millelith, had originally intended to continue pushing south, but she instantly received news from Cerydra... A Golden Descendants was confirmed dead!
This news immediately attracted Cerydra's attention. After all, these were the Golden Descendantss created by Cerydra; how could she not know what abilities they possessed?
It was not an easy thing to kill a Golden Descendants; after all, their physical constitution far exceeded that of ordinary people, and ordinary weapons could not break their defenses at all.
Therefore, the death of a Golden Descendants could only be due to the following situations...
Poisoning.
A Teigu with a special ability.
Powerful creatures similar to a Super Danger Beast.
So, after receiving this news, Hysilens immediately rushed toward the direction of that Golden Descendants at top speed. Although this might be an enemy trap, Hysilens still had to go and ascertain the facts.
If this problem was not solved, more Golden Descendantss would die in the future!
Even if it was dangerous, Hysilens had to go. Besides, with her strength, it wouldn't be easy for others to deal with her.
"From now on, please stay and guard this city."
"I will handle the matter over there alone!"
For Hysilens, who possessed extreme individual strength, whoever she brought along would be a burden. They would not only fail to help but might even cause her to become distracted, so she simply left the entire Millelith in a city to prevent the people who killed the Golden Descendants from luring the tiger away from the mountain.
Soon, Hysilens arrived at her destination.
But after seeing the city where the Golden Descendants had been attacked, her expression worsened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"A massacre... is it?"
Doing something like this, even without thinking, one knew who it was; it must be that trash from the Imperial Army!
"Are you trying to stir up my emotions so you can find an opportunity to ambush me in the subsequent battle?"
Hysilens had long known that even if Cerydra shared her Golden Blood, it was impossible to take care of everyone; eventually, some people would still lose their lives because of it.
But even so, she still strived to minimize casualties, all to build her Northern Territory Empire better.
The subjugation of the Super Danger Beast was proof; Cerydra and Hysilens had protected almost all the Golden Descendantss, and not a single one died during the subjugation battle.
But now, the bloody reality was laid out before her eyes; even Golden Descendantss could die!
"Sigh, is it truly worthy of being the akame ga kill world? People die just like that..."
"But rest assured, I will avenge you!"
After a sigh of regret, Hysilens's eyes had become completely sharp.
"No matter who the person is who massacred the city here, I will make you pay the price. I swear it in the name of the Daughter of the Sea!"
Ding—!
The Siren's ultrasonic waves probed forward at this moment, and Hysilens used the sound waves directly as a radar to probe the dead city before her.
On the main street, there was no one.
In the residential area, there was no one.
There was only one place with people, and that was the city's central square!
Was the trap there?
Although she was unclear about the situation there, the enemy must have captured quite a few hostages to prevent themselves from being taken away by her in a large-scale attack, right?
Hysilens could feel from the movements in the distance that some people were very afraid, which was completely different from the coldness of another group of people.
She had to save them!
However, before Hysilens could make a move, a voice came from the distance, immediately causing the situation to rapidly spiral in a worse direction.
"Walk to the central square step by step. If you dare to play any tricks, I will immediately behead them!"
This was the voice of a middle-aged man, clearly the leader of this operation for the Imperial Army, or at the very least, a person at the level of a squad captain.
And... he definitely had a Teigu!
The abilities of Teigu were strange and varied. Even Hysilens could not memorize them all; she only knew the ones used by the protagonist team and the villains.
Clearly, the other party had prepared a Hongmen Banquet and was just waiting for Hysilens to come to them!
"I understand. Please do not harm those innocent people. I will do as you say."
The reputation of the Northern Country had always been very good internationally. Although Cerydra was somewhat autocratic, she was indeed genuinely good to the people of the Northern Country. The other party was using the residents to threaten her precisely because they knew this...
In order not to let this hard-earned reputation be trampled, Hysilens had to do her best to ensure the safety of the hostages. But this also meant that she would have to be led by the nose by others.
The distance to travel was not long. At Hysilens's speed, she quickly arrived at the square in the center of the town and saw the Imperial Army that had threatened her.
This is... Liva and Brand?
As one of the main characters in the original work, Hysilens quickly recognized their identities, but she didn't expect that it was actually them executing this operation?
"Water Dragon Possession" and "Oni Possession"... Did they actually obtain their Teigu ahead of time? It seems that because of my arrival, this world has indeed undergone huge changes.
However, even with these two Teigu, it was still somewhat difficult to kill a Golden Descendants... It seems there are people around that I don't know about!
"Was the massacre of the city done by you?"
Although they were characters from the original work, such behavior indeed made Hysilens very unhappy, and she experienced intense emotional fluctuations.
Within Amphoreus, the Siren's kingdom was completely destroyed by the black tide, and the sight of this massacre immediately reminded Hysilens of her former homeland...
Furthermore, looking around, she quickly locked onto a few directions. In those buildings that appeared empty, there were definitely Imperial assassins hiding!
"Of course!" Liva stepped forward, his expression unchanged, "When dealing with enemies, one must naturally use the most cruel methods!"
"We are soldiers of the Empire. Even if we have to use despicable methods, we must bring victory to the Empire!"
"The strength of the Northern Country is very strong; even General Budo fell at your hands. We are not as good as General Budo, so if we want to win, we can only use such methods. I trust you won't mind, right?"
The current Liva clearly had not yet understood the darkness of Imperial politics, nor had he been framed as he would be in the future, so he was still loyal to the Empire.
Although Brand did not speak, the long spear he held tightly was already gripped firmly, and he was alert to Hysilens's movements at all times.
"Of course I won't. People who pin their hopes on 'whether the enemy will make a mistake' are all idiots!"
"The Northern Country can tolerate mistakes, but it will never allow such idiots to hold high positions!"
"However, your act of massacring the city really makes me unhappy... As expected, the Empire is as trashy as the rumors say, even worse than the black tide!"
Directly insulting the Empire in front of an Imperial general was very likely to attract the other party's hatred, but Liva did not show any emotion; instead, his expression became even more serious.
Such people generally have a resilient spirit and will not be affected by external interference in their judgment.
"You are using words to provoke me; are you trying to take the opportunity to save these hostages? Give up. Your only future is to die here!"
"Water Dragon Possession" exerted its power at this moment, and translucent water currents swirled around Liva, ready to launch an attack at any time.
"No!"
Hysilens's eyes narrowed slightly, and blue seawater likewise surged around her, as if surrounding an empress.
"The ones who will sink into the silent deep sea are you!"
Hysilens was truly angry. So what if they were main characters from the original work? Although they stood on the opposite side of me at this moment and had done such unforgivable things...
Then don't blame Hysilens for getting serious!
