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

Actually, when Bai Ye invited her, Najendan had considered it, but at that time she hoped to change the world herself rather than place her hopes on him.

Because no one knows whether he will change his mind in the end, or whether he will become a tyrant.

But after returning, she also thought of what Bai Ye had said before. According to her own investigation, she also discovered that the Revolutionary Army was not as clean as she had imagined.

So at this point, Najenda was also confused.

It seems that even he has no way of guaranteeing whether the leaders and high-ranking members of the revolutionary army will change their minds after defeating the empire and establishing a new empire.

Don't forget that in order to persuade the foreign tribes to help them, the revolutionary army promised to hand over a portion of their territory to the northern tribes, while also giving up a lot of benefits.

"So, according to you, Chief, our current battle is meaningless, right?"

Akame asked.

Najenda's words also lead to the conclusion that if they are ultimately defeated by the Hylan Empire, then everything they are doing now seems to be in vain.

"That's right, we will lose in the end. The Revolutionary Army is not as perfect as I thought. In fact, they are already corrupt. Perhaps in the future, there will be parasites like the minister. Anyway, what will you do?"

Najenda wanted to leave, but before she did, she wanted to take her best friend with her.

Since staying with the revolutionary army would only lead to their demise, take everything you can with you before you leave.

"I don't want to be killed by my own people."

Mine's tone was somewhat somber. After saying those words, she knew that everyone probably already knew she wanted to quit, but that was her thought.

She didn't want to die at the hands of her own people. Even if she didn't die, did she have to be hunted down for the rest of her life?

"Well, the Revolutionary Army really is ruthless."

Although Brand didn't express his opinion, he was actually a little uncomfortable inside.

"What are you planning to do, Chief? If you want to leave, we'll follow!"

Compared to Najenda, Leone had never even met her.

If Najendan chooses to leave, she can go with her.

"Me too!"

Lubbock joined Night Raid because of Najenda. He is the only member of Night Raid whose fate was not difficult. His father was a big merchant and he lived a wealthy life from childhood.

If Najendan chooses to leave, he will follow her without hesitation.

"It seems that nobody really wants to be betrayed. That guy was right after all."

Najendan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Bai Ye was right about everything.

"he?"

Who is he?

Akame asked curiously.

"The emperor of the Hailan Empire told me everything, and then asked me to ask you if you were willing to sacrifice yourselves for the revolutionary army. The result is obvious; it seems he was right!"

Najendan could already imagine how embarrassed she would be when she saw Bai Ye.

To my complete surprise, Bai Ye guessed everything correctly.

Can he do it?

Hill asked.

"If he can't do it, then we'll just continue doing our night raids!"

Najendan had a clear idea: if they stayed with the Revolutionary Army, all Night Raid members would die, but if they chose to leave and join the Hylan Empire, then White Night had no reason to kill them.

He accepted even Esdeath, so naturally they would too.

"Alright, let's go there then. I don't want to be stabbed in the back by my own people one day!"

Upon hearing this, Leone immediately made a decision!

"Before I leave, let me take some people with me."

War was inevitable, and besides, she couldn't stop it; the revolutionary army simply wouldn't listen to her.

Her original plan was to stop the Revolutionary Army from fighting to the death with Byakuya, since most of the Revolutionary Army had no reason to sacrifice their lives for such matters.

But she suddenly realized that she couldn't give orders at all, as if she had been guarded against from the very beginning.

Was it because of his past relationship with the Empire, or because of the night raids he led?

She feared that having night raids under her control, coupled with the fact that she could control soldiers, would impact them. But regardless of the reason, Najendan knew deep down that it all stemmed from the other side's distrust of her.

She hadn't cared about all this before, attributing it all to dealing with the Empire's army, but now she couldn't stop herself from overthinking.

"I will have a clear talk with the Emperor of the Hailan Empire before that. Let's not discuss this matter again until everything is completely confirmed!"

"What about our night raid mission? Weren't we supposed to assassinate Arya's family? But they were all wiped out, and the bodies of the three young men I saw earlier are nowhere to be found. I wonder if they were the ones who did it!"

Leone remembered that they had another mission before. She had already thoroughly investigated that family, but before she could take action, the family was wiped out.

"If we get killed, then so be it."

"But that family also has a strange point. They died at the hands of lightning. As far as I know, the only person in the Empire who can use lightning is General Bud, right?"

Leone had infiltrated the area to investigate beforehand, and this ability is lightning, but did Bud really need to kill Arya's family?

She was filled with doubts about this, and the reason she came back today was actually to report on this matter.

“Bud?” Najendan shook her head, then continued, “Don’t worry about it. The Empire is probably more panicked than we are right now.”

Without Esdeath, they probably wouldn't know what to do anymore.

For some reason, Najendan suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude.

Should we just ignore it?

Leone paused for a moment after hearing Najenda's words, then said nothing more.

It shouldn't be that guy, right?

She originally wanted to analyze the three people she saw that day.

After all, those three people looked no different from idiots. In the capital, a place where people devour each other, they actually believed others so easily and left with Arya.

Perhaps the reason they weren't found in the warehouse or by Arya's family is because those three people ran away quickly that day.

Revolutionary Army.

The higher-ups are discussing Esdeath leaving the Empire and joining Hylan.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. You all know what that guy's ambitions are, right?"

The leader was a middle-aged man who was originally a fallen nobleman. Because his family was persecuted by a higher noble family, he chose to rebel and gathered a group of people from the lower or middle classes to rebel against the empire.

They were originally going to be wiped out, but because the old emperor of the Hailan Empire saw their ability to stir up trouble within the empire and weaken its national strength, they received help from the Hailan Empire.

After that, he took over Najenda, obtained some intelligence about the Empire, and then allied with the alien races in the north of the Empire, giving them benefits so that they could better deal with the Empire.

Over the years, they have been collecting Imperial Arms to arm Night Raid, sending Night Raid to kill nobles, while they have been harassing the Empire on a small scale.

They were waiting for an opportunity to defeat Esdeath, but they never expected that Esdeath would leave like this.

But the place they went to was the Hailan Empire, which was not what they wanted to see.

"What good would it do to know? The Hylan Empire has already resolved its internal problems, and with Esdeath around, they can cut off our supplies and then watch the Empire and us fight a civil war before making their move. Isn't this a perfect opportunity?"

No matter how you look at it, this is probably the most likely thing the other party would do, right?

"Then what are we going to do?"

"I don't know. How about we get Night Raid to act quickly? The Empire no longer has Esdeath. Let's defeat the Empire first, and then rally the people within the Empire to fight against Hylan's people. What do you think?"

“I think it’s possible. I’ve heard that the Empire seems to possess the Supreme Imperial Arms. If we can get our hands on it, let alone Esdeath, we could probably even defeat the Emperor of the Hylan Empire, who defeated Esdeath.”

They talked back and forth, and soon made a decision.

"Is Najenda here?"

"Let Najenda come here!"

Now that they've made their decision, they should tell Najendan.

After summoning Najenda, the higher-ups told her about their previous discussions.

"If we were to launch a full-scale attack on the Empire now, I would take Chelsea and Susanoo with me."

Najendan was still thinking about how to bring this up with them.

it's good now.

Since they need me to deal with the Empire, it shouldn't be a problem for me to ask for two people, right?

"can!"

The higher-ups were somewhat surprised, but they agreed.

This was originally intended as a reserve for night raids, and Susanoo was assigned to Najenda by headquarters, so it could naturally be given to her as well.

"Then you should get ready when you get back!"

"kindness."

There's no point in arguing; both sides need time right now.

As Najenda walked away, everyone started discussing the matter.

"So how should we arrange the night raids afterwards?"

"We can't just give up like this, can we? If we give up now, how are we supposed to deal with the Hailan Empire?"

Without the intervention of the Hylan Empire, the Night Raid would definitely have been abandoned after the Revolutionary Army successfully defeated the Empire.

But doesn't the current situation already demonstrate the importance of the revolutionary army?

Are we really going to give up?

"No! Let's keep Night Raid for now and let them deal with the Hylan Empire. Besides, wasn't Night Raid's very existence meant to deal with Esdeath? Let them go after Esdeath, and we'll get the Supreme Imperial Arms and then deal with Byakuya!"

"can!"

"Then let's continue with the night raid as planned. After we've dealt with everything, let's completely abandon them. After all, we are beings of light, and we cannot be tainted by darkness!"
