I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

"Let's change the subject, Najendan. I have a question for you."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

Najenda nodded, a sense of relief creeping into her heart. She was genuinely afraid that Bai Ye would continue down this topic.

She herself didn't know how to continue the conversation with Bai Ye.

Secondly, she came here to cooperate with Byakuya. If Byakuya didn't cooperate, their Revolutionary Army might really not be able to hold on.

Although everyone used to pretend to be confused even when they knew the truth.

But now that you've brought it up, how can we continue this conversation?

I was starting to feel embarrassed.

"As an assassination organization, have you ever considered that one day you might die not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of your own people?"

The outcome of the night raid was predetermined from the start.

An organization that hides its secrets, an organization whose primary purpose is assassination.

This is destined to be rejected by the Revolutionary Army. The Revolutionary Army represents the light. If they admit their connection with the Night Raid, how will other people view the Revolutionary Army?

So the revolutionary army is the light, and the night raid is the darkness. When the light grows up, it will no longer need the darkness.

Those who operate in the shadows will also be abandoned by the revolutionary army.

Just like in the anime, Akame became a target of the Revolutionary Army after that.

Even the deaths of other members during night raids go largely unnoticed; sacrifices are always made in silence.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit inappropriate to be so direct?"

Enki, standing to the side, said with some surprise, "Can you just say something like that directly?"

Or is Bai Ye trying to turn this woman against him?

If that's the case, then it seems that Bai Ye's statement isn't too problematic.

"We are prepared to make sacrifices; the Empire needs to change!"

Najenda was prepared to sacrifice herself, and even now, she still didn't believe they could defeat Esdeath.

But she couldn't bear to just stand by and watch the empire be ruined by those people simply because she couldn't defeat them!

During her time in the Empire, she witnessed too much darkness, so she chose to leave the Empire and join the revolutionary army, determined to change the country.

"But the Revolutionary Army won't tolerate your night raids. Besides, has the Revolutionary Army really been so clean all these years? A lot of the lists we gave you in the past have been embezzled by your high-ranking guys. How much of it actually reached the people who needed it?"

Bai Ye said with a smile, his plan hadn't been going so smoothly to begin with.

But after seeing Najenda arrive, Byakuya realized that his opportunity seemed to have come.

"Why does Your Majesty intend to sow discord between us and the revolutionary army?"

"The people of the empire are suffering because they have no other choice. Look at the territories your revolutionary army has occupied. Aren't those ordinary people living in dire straits? Forced by the need to make a living, many still have to go to the capital. In the end, how much of what you are given is for the sake of the revolution?"

Bai Ye said with a smile, "I have to say the Revolutionary Army and the Empire are pretty much the same."

"You joined the revolutionary army only because you disliked the darkness of the empire, so for whom are you fighting? The revolutionary army or the civilians of the empire?"

Bai Ye was very curious about Najendan's stance.

Faced with Bai Ye's series of questions, Najendan felt a little strange, but after all, he was her 'patron,' so of course she had to give him a satisfactory answer.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally gave my answer.

"I do this for the people of the Empire!"

If the revolutionary army also falls into darkness, she will leave the revolutionary army just the same way!

Therefore, her stance is to protect ordinary people!

Like the children in Night Raid, apart from Lubbock, the others all had tragic experiences.

Therefore, she wanted to change all of this.

"Good! That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear. If we can bring a better life to the people of the empire, then why not consider cooperating with us?"

Bai Ye had been waiting for Najenda to say those words; since she had said them, it was for the sake of the people of the Empire.

So she doesn't necessarily need to cooperate with the revolutionary army; she can cooperate with them.

After hearing what Bai Ye said, Najendan was stunned. She had obviously thought about it a lot, but she didn't expect Bai Ye to come from this angle. She couldn't even refute it.

"We've pretty much purged our internal forces. I want to create a world where the differences aren't so great, at least not a world where it's so obvious that people are cannibalistic. And the Empire and we will have a war sooner or later."

Your fate will not be good, whether the Empire wins or loses; you will simply die. If you win, you may survive, but what about the others?

Have you ever considered other people's feelings?

They might die at the hands of the enemy, but could they bear to be betrayed?

Bai Ye spoke calmly, but these words made Najenda somewhat unsettled.

She knew very well that some of the people in the night raid had joined the revolutionary army after experiencing betrayal and discrimination.

But what would they think if they knew that they would also be abandoned in the end?

Najendan didn't know.

"Then how can we be sure you won't betray us?"

"You can only trust us. Of course, if you don't care about Night Raid's life, then you can choose not to choose us and go see the internal situation of your revolutionary army. Go ask the people of Night Raid if they are willing to die at the hands of their own people."

Najenda can only trust White Night now.

As can be seen from the anime, Najenda probably knew all along, but she herself didn't realize that they could defeat Esdeath, Bud, and the others.

"Your empire's problems are complex and require more than just revolution. The high command of the revolutionary army is not much different from the empire's high command, which might be better, since they lack talents like ministers. However, even after they come to power, the empire will still not be at peace. Only when we conquer the empire and rewrite the order, overthrowing everything that was before, can we achieve our goal."

The Hailan Empire was actually a mess when Bai Ye took over the throne.

Fortunately, after taking power, the Neptune Crusaders listened to him, and it was only through White Night's relentless killing spree that the problem was resolved.

"Najenda, I will deliver the supplies to your Revolutionary Army as previously agreed. But after that, go and ask your Night Raid members what kind of ending they want."

Bai Ye believed that Najendan would know the answer once she returned.

"I understand."

Najendan was both giving herself supplies and trying to win her over; she couldn't figure out what Bai Ye was thinking.

Is he really that confident in himself?

Was he so certain that he would choose to betray the country after returning?

With these questions in mind, Najendan left the palace.

"Your Majesty, if you want the other side to compromise, wouldn't it be better to simply not give them any supplies?"

Enki asked curiously.

If Bai Ye wants the other party to compromise, this seems to be the best approach.

"No, you're wrong. This won't make them compromise. I told the old man back then that we should corrupt the Revolutionary Army's high command, and it turned out just as I expected. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Now they'll make Night Raid see clearly who is truly worthy of their loyalty and who can change everything!"

When the old emperor was formulating this plan, Bai Ye seized the opportunity to offer this suggestion, which was eventually adopted by the old emperor.

This matter has been carried out in secret, and the results have been very encouraging.

It must be said that the worst aspects of human nature are fully manifested in them, and some are even more perverse than the nobles.

After all, most of the revolutionaries chose to rebel because they couldn't survive, a small number were minor nobles with some power, and as for the top nobles, why would they need to rebel with them?

Next, Bai Ye will leave here for the capital, leaving a shadow clone here to manage the government affairs, while he will infiltrate the empire to see if he can win Esdeath over.

So once Esdeath is won over, the Empire will be easy to deal with.

"Your Majesty is right."

Enki didn't say much. In Bai Ye, he saw the shadow of a hegemon. It seemed that this time, their Hailan Empire really had a chance to unify the entire continent.

Once, the first king of their Hailan Empire had tried, but ultimately failed because the empire's first emperor created an Imperial Arms, which was blocked by a man named Yoriichi Tsugikuni from another country.

Ultimately, the Hailan Empire was severely weakened in this war and subsequently went into hiding, waiting for an opportunity.

After all these years, they have finally waited for it. They waited for the empire to self-destruct and fall into weakness, and they waited for the wise ruler of their Hailan Empire!

"Alright, you can leave Beth here. Anyway, the Empire won't exist anymore!"

"I'll do it right away, Your Majesty!"

Enki nodded in agreement, and then approached Beth, relaying Bai Ye's meaning in a more embellished way.

Although somewhat surprised that Bai Ye was so confident in saying that the empire would cease to exist after a while.

But since Bai Ye has already said it.

Then he would obey.

"Lord Beth, His Majesty has instructed you to rest in the palace for a while until he has finished dealing with matters on His Majesty's end, at which point you can come to see him again!"

Should I stay?

A hint of surprise flashed in Beth's eyes, clearly not understanding why Bai Ye would do this, trying to forcibly keep her here.

It seems like I have no value whatsoever, right?

What was the point of him forcing himself to stay?

"I understand!"

Although Beth didn't know what Bai Ye's purpose was in doing this, he also realized that it was obviously impossible for him to leave at this time.

But since he has stayed behind, does that mean Bai Ye is hesitant about whether to help him?

This inevitably stirred a glimmer of hope in Beth's heart, hoping that Bai Ye would step in, even though she knew that inviting Bai Ye was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

empire.

Looking at this place that appears peaceful on the surface but is actually like a living hell on earth, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

When his army conquers this place, he will surely make all the demons and monsters here disappear!
