315. All-out war begins!

"I knew you would join forces with him."

In the wilderness outside the capital, countless figures suddenly appeared in the originally cloudless sky. In the center of these people, Collint's eyes were fixed on the beautiful girl in front of him, who was a stark contrast to his ugliness.

—Vegus!

"There's no other way. If I didn't do this, I'd probably become one of your corpse puppets by now, wouldn't I?"

Vigus shrugged helplessly. All the agents originally targeted Lin Yu, but because of Collint's existence, they were forced to join forces with Vigus, who was Lin Yu's mortal enemy in terms of their stance.

Her only goal was to fend off the increasingly aggressive Collint. So many of his agents had died that the fact that she was hostile to Lin Yu was no longer that important to Vigus. Rather than killing Lin Yu and getting the reward from the gods, she preferred to continue living.

"With Vigus around, your teleportation ability shouldn't be able to work, right?"

At this moment, it wasn't just Vigus, the proxy, who was opposing Corlint in the sky; Lin Yu and Esdeath were also present.

In truth, the existence of the empire is of little significance to either of them. Esdeath's pursuit has long since moved beyond an empire that can provide chaos and war. It is fighting against truly strong individuals that excites her. Bullying the weak is meaningless to her now.

"Tsk tsk, it seems you still left quite a few corpse puppets in the capital. We are, in fact, the same kind of people."

Collint glanced at his army of corpse puppets, and the obvious decrease in their numbers only made his expression more pleased.

"No, no, no, please don't say that. We are not as 'noble' as you."

Leaving some of the corpse puppets in the capital was something Lin Yu instructed Vigus to do. Before long, two of the most powerful agents among the agents would descend upon this world. Colint clearly wanted to eliminate Lin Yu before then. At this time, every bit of power was precious, so Lin Yu had no choice but to trick the Empire. After all, the Empire possessed extremely powerful strength and could still resist a portion of the corpse puppets.

As for the common people of the capital, there was nothing they could do. The number of corpse puppets was not large, but when they fought, it was absolutely comparable to a war, a war that could destroy the entire capital!

Of course, Lin Yu hadn't been just loafing around all these years. The intelligence system he had started building early on should have already begun to take effect by now. Those people were able to guide the civilians of the capital to the outskirts of the city in the shortest possible time, and there was a special army to escort them away. In a battle of this level, the role of the army could be ignored, but it was enough to protect the civilians from leaving.

"It's been too long; it's time to reap the rewards."

Collint licked his lips. His ultimate goal was not actually Lin Yu, but Lin Yu was an important part of it because he wanted to transform Lin Yu and Esdeath into his strongest corpse puppets!

"It's still uncertain who will reap the rewards!"

Lin Yu gently clenched his fist beside him, and the greatsword vampire that Tina had transformed into appeared in his hand.

"Then let's fight."

Without wasting any more words, Collint didn't bother to say more. This was his last chance. If he seized it, he would have a chance to achieve his true goal and completely break free from control. If he failed…

So what if I die?

Collint is proud. No matter how cowardly, sleazy, or ugly he may appear, none of this can deny that he has an extremely proud heart.

While other agents were focused solely on killing Lin Yu to complete their mission, he had already begun planning how to truly control his own destiny. Such a person is actually the most terrifying.

And that is indeed the case; he wiped out almost all the agents, all to achieve his own goal!

"Seale heaven and earth!"

A short staff engraved with dense runes appeared in his hand. Collint tapped the staff downwards in the air, and golden ripples spread outwards. In an instant, a golden runic shield enveloped everyone.

"Since you've made preparations to prevent my escape, then you won't be leaving either!"

Putting everything else aside, Collint's wisdom is truly genius-level. He had long anticipated that Lin Yu would do anything to prevent him from escaping, so he simply cut off the escape route from the very beginning. If he couldn't leave, then nobody else could either!

Lin Yu frowned and tried to ignite a golden flame. This was the Flame of Indolence, which allowed Lin Yu to traverse space and achieve instantaneous teleportation!

However, the space that used to be like the surface of water has now become as solid as a diamond, and is completely unshakeable.

"I see."

The golden flames ignited for only a moment before extinguishing. Since it was clear that he couldn't escape the golden shield, there was no need to dwell on it any longer; all he needed to do was win!

"Then let's fight!"

Lin Yu repeated the words that Collint had once spoken, raised his greatsword, and the battle was about to begin!

……

"How could so many powerful individuals suddenly appear!"

In the capital, the wedding site of Lin Yu and Esdeath has been reduced to ruins, with a large number of corpse puppets slaughtering the soldiers of the Royal Guard.

These soldiers, trained by General Bud, did indeed possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers, but they were utterly helpless against Corinth's corpse puppets.

Collint's corpse puppets were all top-tier powerhouses in life. After their corpses were modified and enhanced with runes, their strength even increased significantly, making them far beyond the capabilities of the Royal Guard soldiers.

Fortunately, no matter how corrupt this empire was, it still possessed immense power, and with many generals present at the wedding, some of the corpse puppets were managed to be blocked.

After Corinth and his group were teleported away by Vigus, these corpse puppets were determined to leave. However, Bud, as the leader of the generals, obviously would not sit idly by. Although his strength was much weaker than Lin Yu and Esdeath, he was still the strongest in the empire. Even among the agents, few could match him, thus creating a relatively balanced situation.

"Boss, should we make a move?"

In a corner of the capital, the Night Raid team, who had been looking for an opportunity during the wedding, gathered together and frowned as they looked at the chaotic situation outside.

They were all professional assassins whose original goal was to stir up trouble in the capital, but things got complicated once ordinary people got involved.

"Let's wait and see for now; it seems someone is guiding civilians to evacuate."

Najenda was a former general of the Empire, and a general who was on par with Esdeath, so her perspective on issues was naturally different.

"Now is the best opportunity. Bud is busy dealing with those suddenly appearing enemies, so the guards around the young emperor and his ministers must be weak. If we can seize this opportunity now..."

There's no need for that.

A calm voice suddenly rang out, and the entire Night Raid team almost immediately prepared for battle.

"It's been a long time, sister."

Dressed in black, with black hair and black eyes, the girl who seemed so naive when they parted ways back then has changed completely. The only thing that hasn't changed is her still perfectly flat figure...

I know everyone has been working very hard lately, and I'm truly sorry. It's not that I don't want to write, but I simply can't. Every time I sit in front of the computer, my mind goes completely blank; I have absolutely no idea what to write. Writing a book requires passion, but for me right now, it's become a burden. Every day, all I think about is how to complete the update tasks, not how to write a good book. Writing is tiring, and it's even more tiring for everyone following along. I hope I can adjust.

316. Let's fight!

"Black eyes?!"

The familiar voice, the familiar appearance, and outwardly seemingly unchanged, Akame felt no reliance from her beloved younger sister, only naked hostility!

Akame's eyes widened, her emotions somewhat out of control, but she calmed down in an instant and placed her hand on the hilt of Murasame's sword. Clearly, she was well aware of the true position between the two of them at this moment.

"Black eyes?"

Najenda frowned deeply, feeling a slight headache. The intelligence work for Night Raid was handled by Revolutionary Army intelligence agents, and she knew very well how troublesome Kurohime's abilities were. Don't be fooled by the fact that Kurohime was standing alone now; once her Teigu was activated, even if the entire Night Raid attacked at the same time, it would be difficult to take her down in a short time.

There are only a few people in this world with the strength of Mela. Moreover, Mela was able to easily subdue the sisters Kurome and Akame only because her special ability sealed Kurome's biggest trump card. The members of Night Raid do not have the ability to control insects. If a war breaks out, they can only face the enemy head-on!

As for the relationship between the black eyes and the red eyes, Najenda believed that the red eyes had already thought it through when the red eyes betrayed the empire.

Are you the only one who came?

Akame lowered her head slightly, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Murasame's hand, slowly drawing the ominous demon sword from its sheath.

"Yes, it's just me. My brothers have other things to do."

Compared to the tense Akame, Kurome, though making no attempt to hide her hostility, had her hands behind her back. To ordinary people, she seemed like a harmless little sister next door, even giving off a rather innocent vibe. Judging from appearances alone, no one could imagine that such a girl could be a killer who could ruthlessly wield a butcher's knife!

"I see."

Akame raised her head, revealing a scrutinizing gaze.

"Boss, this is a matter between my sister and me. I hope you can let me be willful this once."

Akame took a deep breath and looked at Najenda with pleading eyes. Her meaning was clear: even if her beloved sister died, she could only die by her own hand!

"..."

Najenda fell silent. Logically speaking, the right choice would be to send out all her Teigu users, given Kurome's special abilities. She didn't want to see the two sisters locked in a love-hate relationship. But if she did that, Akame would definitely have a grudge. Najenda was caught in a dilemma.

"I said..."

When Akame asked Najenda for her opinion, Kurome suddenly laughed.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"

The bewildered crowd looked at Kurome with confusion. Apart from Tatsumi, who was still confused about the relationship between Akame and Kurome, it seemed to everyone else that Kurome's presence here was for no other purpose than to fight them.

"I never said I came here to fight, sister!"

When Kurome said those words with a smile, Akame felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. No matter how determined she was, how could Akame not feel heartbroken at the thought of fighting to the death with her beloved sister?

"Then why did you come?"

Compared to Akame, who was burdened with too many distractions, Najenda was now only concerned with Kurome's purpose in coming here. At this moment, the capital had fallen into chaos. The purpose of Night Raid was originally for the people. If the people were dying in the turmoil, what meaning would their existence have?

"I came here because my brother wanted me to."

Akame, who was initially delighted, immediately felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. In this world, the person she couldn't understand the most was the one she called her brother.

Akame and Lin Yu's paths crossed entirely because Kurome was adopted by him. However, Lin Yu's stance is truly unpredictable. He claims to be on the Empire's side, yet he repeatedly helps the Revolutionary Army and even lets her leave.

But if Lin Yu is on the Revolutionary Army's side, then it's even more complicated. He directly rejected both Akame's and Najenda's invitations, and this ambiguous feeling really made Akame and Najenda very uneasy.

"Lin Yu, what exactly does he want to do?"

Upon hearing that it was Lin Yu's instruction, Najenda immediately became excited. There are many strong people in this world, and sometimes the existence of a strong person can even influence a war. Lin Yu and Esdeath, who are at the pinnacle of all the strong people, have the ability to influence the fate of this country!

Najenda had personally experienced how terrifying Lin Yu and Esdeath were more than once. She knew very well that even General Bud, who was on par with Esdeath on the surface, was far from being a match for the two of them. If one of these two could join the Revolutionary Army, the success rate of this revolution would greatly increase!

"Do you see those people in the sky?"

Black Eyes didn't give a direct explanation, but pointed to the sky. A large number of corpse puppets were rampaging through this ancient capital. The Imperial Guard had been almost completely slaughtered, and even Bud had become covered in wounds during the time they were talking.

In terms of individual strength, there aren't many of these corpse puppets stronger than Bud. However, the problem is that there are simply too many corpse puppets, and there are even proxy-level corpse puppets among them. It's no surprise that Bud would fall into decline so quickly.

“My brother and I will use our power to take action. These are the people my brother truly fears. He said that as long as we eliminate these enemies, he will carry out the revolution in the empire!”

Kuroko's expression was solemn, without the slightest hint of joking. Her words sounded like a fantasy. A person promising to complete the revolution of an empire seemed like a pipe dream to ordinary people. But if the person who said this was either Lin Yu or Esdeath, then it would definitely not be a boast!

"Destroy these enemies?" Najenda took a deep breath. "I understand!"

"Boss?"

Seeing that Najenda was actually planning to agree, Lubbock became a little anxious. He had never seen Lin Yu's true strength, so he didn't believe Black Eye's words at all.

"Listen to her!"

At this moment, Najenda's authority as the Night Raid boss was evident. The others who wanted to say something swallowed their words after she spoke.

"These people should have been our enemies from the start. Regardless of whether Lin Yu has the ability or not, we must fight them. There is no doubt about that!"

Najenda's words were resolute.

"Since we share the same goal, why can't we trust each other just this once?"
