With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Crazy Tank (Temporary Team 'Milk Tea Flavor', VIP): You bastard!! Don't let me find you, or I'll make you wish you were dead!!

Salty Fish (a solo player without a team): Watching the big shots on both sides fight... Speaking of which, that guy called 'Fengzi' should be one of the 'Milk Tea Flavor' people, right? How dare he provoke a small elite team before reaching Tier 3? This 'Evil Blade' is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Dream Eater (No Team, VIP): Watching the fate of the 'Evil Blade' master.

Mikasa Ackerman (unaffiliated player): ...

……

Nothing of value was found, but it seems that a lone wolf contractor has offended an elite team.

However, this evil swordsman is not to be trifled with. He is a well-known master among the second-tier, and his skills and abilities are said to be very strong. Even if he is not as good as Esdeath, he is not much worse than Bud.

However, none of this matters to Yang Li right now. What she needs to do now is follow the plot for a while, and then wait for the right moment to slip away unnoticed...

Now that Hei Tong has joined Night Raid, Yang Li doesn't need to worry about her safety given Night Raid's strength. He just doesn't know if they'll have a chance to meet again after the plan is implemented...

A bitter smile flashed across Yang Li's face as she sensed someone approaching from behind. Although she didn't turn around, she had already figured out who it was.

"Boss, is there something you need?"

"The food supplies prepared in advance for the night raid might not be enough."

The brief exchange left Yang Li speechless and stunned. The food supplies that filled an entire basement were not enough.

What Najendan said next left Yang Li speechless; those two girls really knew how to cause trouble.

"After Akame and Kurome finished their dinner, they started another eating contest, and now Leone, who knows some barbecue skills, is cooking the dishes."

"Although I feel a little bad, I still hope you can go out and buy some ingredients tomorrow. After all, it's not sustainable to rely on hunting dangerous species all the time."

Najendan silently gave Yang Li a thumbs up, then turned and left with a flourish. The meaning behind her earlier glance left Yang Li feeling quite helpless.

That clearly meant, 'You got yourself into this mess, so you're in charge of these two sisters...'

Yang Li was actually a little unsure whether she could support two big foodies, but the issue of ingredients had to be resolved.

He casually pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, covered with densely written words. It contained the timeline of Akagi and countless turning points in the story.

Thinking about the psychopathic killer in the original novel, Yang Li took a deep breath. There had been some similar news circulating recently, so he could try his luck.

P.S.: This is the second chapter today. I'll try my best to finish the third chapter before midnight! ヾ(?°?°?)ノ?

Chapter 256, Section 262: The Imperial Army's Ambush

Chapter 256: The Imperial Army's Ambush

Walking on the official road near the northern city, the days of daily life intertwined with the end of evil in the capital quietly arrived, but for the time being, none of this had anything to do with Yang Li.

Because the targets were generally not very good, the Teigu users who launched the night raid were able to deal with them easily. Even Tatsumi, who had been steadily getting stronger under Bulang's training, had gained the ability to judge evil.

The carriage traveled forward rather unevenly, with Fenrir lying on the haystack at the back, wagging its tail contentedly and sucking on a straw.

Wearing a coat, Yang Li was going to disguise himself as a grain merchant and go to the capital to buy and sell food. This whole cart of grain and the ore at the bottom was the funding for this mission.

After paying the gold coins to enter the city and bribing the guards at the city gate, Yang Li easily slipped into a town of moderate size.

The primary objective was to find the revolutionary army members who would come to meet them, and then hand over a cartload of food and the ore at the bottom, in exchange for enough food to satisfy the food-loving sisters during the night raid for at least a month.

Following the coded messages and clues given to him by Najendan before he left the base, Yang Li drove the carriage through the streets.

The road became increasingly remote. After all, it was the eastern granary of the revolutionary army and an intelligence relay base, so it was normal for the location to be somewhat hidden.

Long ago, Najendan had an agreement with the local rulers: Night Raid would store a certain amount of food for them, and in return, they would regularly provide Night Raid with funds and ingredients.

The grain on Yang Li's wagon was enough for one quarter, while the ore was to be handed over to the local commander, who would then send people to transport it to the rear of the revolutionary army to be manufactured into weapons for the final war.

As they approached their destination, Yang Li slowed down the carriage's pace, because she suddenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

After finding a secluded corner to hide the carriage, Yang Li chose to display his equipment and then walked towards his destination.

What comes into view is a complex of buildings, consisting of various shops such as grain stores and taverns, but in reality, these are all part of the transit station here.

Most of the shops were open, and people were going in and out, so it seemed like there was nothing wrong. Therefore, Yang Li headed straight for the grain store mentioned in the information.

Hello, is there anything I can help you with?

There was only one middle-aged man in the small shop, probably the shop manager or something similar. He was completely ordinary and there was nothing unusual about him.

The store manager, who was just an ordinary person, went straight up to Yang Li and asked her what she needed, since people who come to the grain store are usually there to buy grain.

"I'm here to sell grain. My boss has been cooperating with your store for a long time... The situation in the world isn't very good lately."

"It's not doing very well. After all, the empire has been corrupt for a long time, and a thousand years of inheritance has only made it more rotten."

While spouting meaningless remarks, Yang Li strolled leisurely around the store, just like any other customer browsing and selecting merchandise.

Just as Yang Li passed by the shop manager, her seemingly unguarded back was exposed, causing the shop manager to narrow his eyes slightly.

Clang! Pfft—

The sharp steel dagger was deflected with a single strike, then transformed into a grappling hook, pinning the suddenly enraged shopkeeper to the wall.

The barbs on the hook spearhead are undoubtedly extremely sharp, and due to its inhuman design, once they pierce the flesh, they will tear off a large piece of flesh when they are pulled out.

Because once it pierces through, the barbs on the hook spear lock together with the flesh.

The grain store manager, who looked like an ordinary person, was caught off guard by Yang Li's sudden counterattack and easily pierced through, his ferocious expression completely frozen...

"When...when did you find out? Ugh, ahhhhhh!!!"

Before the shopkeeper could finish asking, Yang Li suddenly pulled the hook spear back, transformed it back into a longsword, and swung it forcefully, the blood on it shooting out as a jet of blood.

The massive blood loss caused the store manager to collapse to the ground, his life force rapidly fading. In no more than three minutes, he would be gone from this world.

"No malice whatsoever, my intuition is very sharp... And the smell of blood is too strong, the real manager must have just been killed by you, right?"

With no known identity or purpose, Yang Li had no idea who the person who had just ambushed her was, and now that person was dead.

The reason no one was left alive for questioning was that Yang Li had already sensed many human presences in the compound, and she seemed to be surrounded.

Taking advantage of the fact that these people were still quite a distance away, Yang Li immediately rushed into the back of the grain store. Going through the front now would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

Although she felt like she was trapped, Yang Li was still relatively relaxed. After all, with her current strength, she was fine as long as Esdeath didn't come in person.

The key point is that Esdeath is still suppressing the rebels in the north, so how could she possibly have the time to come here and personally handle the Revolutionary Army's transit station?

There was no one in the courtyard; it was filled with warehouse-like buildings, which, unsurprisingly, contained stockpiled grain and various metal ores.

After scanning the area roughly, it seemed that the enemy was not lying in ambush here, since we were already surrounded on all sides.

Perhaps they're worried that people who come here have too strong an intuition and will sense it in advance and escape, so there aren't many people here?

The members of the revolutionary army had already been dealt with as expected, leaving little time for reflection. Yang Li rushed into one of the warehouses and jumped into a haystack.

Just like hiding in the haystacks in the Assassin's Creed game to evade the pursuit of NPCs, Yang Li suppressed his aura and presence as much as possible, ready to activate those two abilities at any time.

As essential abilities for Yang Li's assassinations and infiltrations, the compatibility between those two skills was incredibly high, and they had brought Yang Li countless conveniences.

This time will be no exception. At least if the haystack isn't safe enough, Yang Li can escape by hiding in the darkness.

There will absolutely be no problem. Yang Li is very confident in this regard, after all, the opponent will not be Esdeath no matter what.

If that crazy woman with beast-like intuition really comes here, Yang Li will have no choice but to fight her. Her ability to hide might not be able to fool Esdeath.

His breathing gradually slowed down, and his breath was completely suppressed to the point of being barely perceptible. Suddenly, sounds similar to breaking down doors came from several buildings.

A large number of soldiers filed in, all of whom must have been the Empire's elite troops, their imposing presence at least 300 percent stronger than that of the Imperial Guard.

Watching a woman walk from the crowd to the front, her overwhelming aura made Yang Li's breath catch in his throat, and his pupils involuntarily contracted violently...

PS: 1. This is the third update today. By the way, it's already the next day... Luckily, it was before 6 or 5 o'clock. Updates are counted as the previous day.

2. Successfully completed the third update, I'm dying, (|3[▓▓] Goodnight everyone.

Chapter 257, Section 263: A Beast-like Astonishing Intuition

Chapter 257: A Beast-like Astonishing Instinct

Immediately activating 'Ultimate Skill: Dark Slaughter' and [Word of Power: Netherworld Illumination], Yang Li looked outside through the pile of grass covering him.

Upon closer inspection, several figures with a strong presence came into view, each of them extraordinary, with one in particular causing Yang Li's pupils to shrink instantly.

Countless soldiers began to surround the area. The tall, blue-haired woman at the head of the group adjusted the brim of her hat and looked at the layout of the entire transit station with great interest.

Although she had previously sent people to clear out the area, this was her first time here.

She now sincerely feels that issuing the order to execute everyone except the highest-ranking officer without leaving any survivors was the right thing to do. There was no possibility of the message being transmitted, and she even managed to wait for the Imperial Arms user from the Revolutionary Army side.

As for why they knew the Revolutionary Army's communication code and the news that the Night Raid Teigu users might come, it's because the leaders left behind here had extremely weak willpower.

Esdeath hadn't even been subjected to any torture yet, just things like severing her Achilles tendons and bleeding her out—just constant physical and mental abuse. She never expected that the incompetent leader wouldn't even last the first day, blurting out everything he knew.

That's right, the tall, blue-haired beauty leading the group is none other than Esdeath, the world's strongest woman and a madwoman, whom Yang Li has always been wary of.

He is undoubtedly a perfect all-rounder, with his strength, speed, combat awareness, personal martial arts skills, the strength of his Imperial Arms, and the level of development of his Imperial Arms all being world-class.

When these six factors are combined, along with the two secret techniques of the Imperial Arms that Esdeath developed herself, her strength approaches that of a third-tier rank, or perhaps she is indeed a third-tier rank.

Judging from the plot development, Esdeath should not have mastered the 'Makabotomo' that can freeze time and space yet. It was an idea she originally had, but she developed it later in order to keep Tatsumi by her side.

There was no possibility of witnessing this move until the later stages of the story, which made Yang Li breathe a slight sigh of relief.

If it were a one-on-one fight with Esdeath, even if the opponent was the perfect queen in the late game, she would be confident of escaping unscathed, after all, the ability to stop time is no joke.

Even if the other party has also been exposed to time and can track Yang Li's whereabouts, it is still unrealistic to catch up with Yang Li riding Fenrir.

But it's clearly not a one-on-one situation now, or rather, even if it were a one-on-one situation, Yang Li would be being attacked by a group of people on the other side.

Upon closer inspection, several familiar figures appeared: Esdeath's three Beast Masters. Although none of them were particularly strong, they were all Imperial Arms users.

The Great Axe-type Imperial Arm, 【Two Great Axes Belvark】, was owned by Daidas, one of the martial arts fanatics of Zanakari. It is a standard, purely brute-force type Imperial Arm.

The Imperial Arms itself certainly has considerable attack power, but its weight is also not to be underestimated. It requires tremendous arm strength to swing, and it has the ability to separate and throw the two axe blades, which then fly back and merge back together.

The flute-type Imperial Arms [Military Music Dream - Scream], owned by the perverted cross-dressing boy Neu, is an Imperial Arms that plays a vital role on the battlefield, a true war Imperial Arms.
