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

If we keep talking like this, we'll probably all die.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Bud was aware of the situation and did not continue arguing with the minister.

He wanted to see what Ernest's purpose was in seeking him out.

"To deal with the Revolutionary Army, we should first eliminate them. Then I will negotiate with the Emperor of the Hailan Empire to see if we can offer him some conditions so that he will not start a war with us. We can deal with the Revolutionary Army internally first, and then consider the Hailan Empire."

There's no need to worry about Esdeath anymore. I can use my Teigu to nullify her Teigu, and we can take this opportunity to get rid of Esdeath. Of course, we can first see if we can persuade Esdeath to come back.

But no matter what we do, the most important thing right now is to eliminate the revolutionary army!

Although ministers are usually incompetent, they can still offer advice when it comes to solving problems.

"I can't fight the revolutionary army alone, and I can't leave here!"

Bud refused.

He knew this was the optimal solution, but he couldn't leave at this point.

His responsibility was to protect the palace and the young emperor.

“I know, but I hope you can use your name to form a team, a squad composed of Teigu users and various elites, to deal with Night Raid. We still have elite soldiers to deal with the Revolutionary Army, but we have no one to deal with Night Raid!”

Although it's hard to admit, this matter became very difficult to handle after Esdeath left.

Therefore, he could only let Bud organize it; if he were to organize it himself, no one would be willing to join.

The existence of the Night Raid is not only affecting them personally, but also causing widespread anxiety among many nobles.

Originally, Ernest had planned for Esdeath to form the team when she returned.

After all, he was also afraid of being assassinated in a night raid one day.

"I will be in direct command of this group, and I will also be responsible for selecting the rest!"

If it were such an elite force, he would naturally not allow it to fall into the hands of a minister.

The minister readily agreed to Bud's request, having no reason to refuse, as he hadn't intended to either.

Even if Bud gets this power, he won't do anything to himself. He has committed so many evil deeds, yet Bud still hasn't done anything. Doesn't that say everything?

"Sure, I'll send someone to collect it for you."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go now."

Bud nodded. Although Esdeath had betrayed them, the empire would not collapse.

Just as the minister said, he has an Imperial Arm that can disable Imperial Arms, and the young emperor also has a Supreme Imperial Arm. It seems that we must arrange for the young emperor to try using the Supreme Imperial Arm.

With the existence of the Supreme Imperial Arms, no other Imperial Arms can compare to it.

"Then I'll leave the task of building an elite force to you. I'll go and gather information on the Revolutionary Army and Night Raids later!"

Ernest didn't have much to say about Bud's attitude. Although he was somewhat unhappy, he knew very well that he had no choice but to rely on the other party.

Let's deal with the night raid first!

The other end.

The Night Raid members were gathered at headquarters. They were all very surprised after learning of Esdeath's betrayal. They never expected that Esdeath would choose to leave the Empire.

"Chief, if Esdeath doesn't exist in the Imperial City now, doesn't that mean we can take action?"

Mine felt that all of this was actually beneficial to them.

Esdeath is no longer in the capital, and there is no one left who can stop them.

If we don't act now, when will we?

"Esdeath actually betrayed us, and even went to the Hylan Empire."

Compared to Mine, Najendan had more to think about.

The main reason is that she went to the Hailan Empire to negotiate terms with Bai Ye earlier.

However, things didn't go as planned afterward.

Now, Esdeath's departure seems to be a boon to their Revolutionary Army, but Najenda also knows that it has created a real problem for them.

"Esdeath went to the Hylan Empire. What if the Hylan Empire launches a full-scale attack on this place after that?"

Brand had once served in the Empire, so he naturally knew the intricacies of the situation.

The emperor of the Hylan Empire personally led a large army to intercept Esdeath and took her away.

The person who can make Esdeath submit must be someone much stronger than her.

The ambitions of the Hailan Empire are now obvious.

“I went to the Hailan Empire before to negotiate with them.”

Najendan took a deep breath and then decided to confess everything.

He recounted his previous trip to the Hailan Empire to negotiate terms with Baiye on behalf of the Revolutionary Army.

"Chief, you've been there?"

"Yes, it's been recently. Didn't headquarters call me back before? They wanted me to negotiate with the Hailan Empire. Our Revolutionary Army has always had their support!"

Najenda nodded and said, and upon hearing her, Lubbock's face flashed with joy as he asked, "Does that mean we're guaranteed to win?"

OK!

They were allies!

Then there doesn't seem to be much to worry about.

However, after he finished speaking, everyone else looked at him with strange eyes.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

They even took Esdeath away; aren't they just creating an opportunity for the Revolutionary Army?

"No, in fact, the other side has always harbored ambitions to unify the continent. Their support for us is merely a ploy to weaken the empire, so that they can benefit from the conflict between the two sides."

Najendan shook her head, a bitter smile flashing across her face.

Although some may be reluctant to admit it, their purpose was actually to deplete the empire.

She had been hesitant about whether to agree to Bai Ye's request, just as she had said before, whether Ye Xi was willing to accept this betrayal.

are you willing?

In reality, no one wants to be betrayed.

However, she was unwilling to agree to Bai Ye's request so easily, so after returning, Najenda kept quiet about what had happened before.

"Boss, are you hiding something from us?"

Akame looked at Najenda; she knew Najenda.

Najendan's current state suggests that she's keeping something to herself.

"Red Eyes, actually he recruited me back then... no, to be precise, he recruited us, Night Raid, wanting us to join their side and overthrow the Empire together!"

Najendan hesitated for a moment, then sighed and decided to tell them the truth.

Perhaps the choice shouldn't be in our own hands, but rather given to a few of them.

Perhaps they did not want their fate to be decided by themselves or by the revolutionary army.

"They recruited us for night raids?!"

Mine was stunned. So, does that mean the Hailan Empire also harbors ambitions to annex them?

"So, Boss, you didn't agree, did you?"

An unnatural smile flashed across Lubbock's face.

Their night raids are the backbone of the revolutionary army; surely they wouldn't actually agree to betray us?

"I didn't agree."

Upon hearing Najendan's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what do we do now? They're offering us resources, if they have ambitions."

Leone frowned. She had never imagined that her resources had always been provided by the Hailan Empire.

If we follow this logic, then if they disagree or the other side prepares to attack the Empire, then the other side will definitely not provide supplies.

So, their fate probably won't be too good then?

"Before that, I have a question I'd like to ask you all!!"

Najenda did not answer Leone's question directly, but looked at the group with a serious expression. What she was about to say would determine their fate.

This was also the first step in her decision to be less selfish and entrust their respective fates to them.

She wanted to see how the raiders would ultimately choose to proceed!

Chapter 229 White Night: Wherever the sword points, all sides submit; no one can stop its sweeping influence across the world! I am ordained by Heaven!

"Boss, is it necessary to be so serious?"

Lubbock chuckled, it was the first time he had ever seen Najendan look at them so seriously.

In his view, it was just a problem, why make it so serious?

“That’s right, let’s just say what the problem is. If they’re not giving us supplies, then we can rob those nobles.”

Brand thought for a moment, and he felt that Najendan might be referring to the lack of supplies in the future.

After Brand finished speaking, the others in Night Raid remained silent, as they had already assumed that the issue of supplies Brand mentioned was what Najenda would discuss next.

This is indeed a serious issue. Whether it's the revolutionary army or the night raid, they all need material support. People need to eat, right?

"No, it's not about that. The supplies are a minor matter."

After looking them over, Najenda's face showed a hint of melancholy.

I have a feeling that once I tell them about this, they'll probably explode.
