At this moment, everyone gathered around Najenda. Seeing Moli and Mine return, Brand quickly said:
"Lord Mo Li, you've arrived just in time. A new mission has come."
"A new mission? Who is the target this time?"
"Iocar, a distant relative of Minister Ernest, abducted and tortured women to death by abusing the minister's reputation. The five mercenaries who were responsible for his security and supported his actions are considered accomplices!"
“Interesting, Najenda. Have you considered what kind of retaliation you will face from the ministers after you kill him?”
Mo Li's lips curled up slightly. Although this Iokar was just a distant relative, taking action against him would be tantamount to slapping the minister in the face, and the subsequent retaliatory actions would definitely be numerous.
Najenda's expression remained unchanged, her eyes growing increasingly resolute as she addressed the crowd:
"This is an important task; everyone must take initiative!"
"learn!"
The desire within everyone had been ignited. If this mission was successfully completed, it might attract even more rebels to join the ranks of the revolutionary army.
Seeing the expectant look in Najenda's eyes, Mo Li nodded and agreed.
"Very good. Mo Li, you will lead this operation. Everyone else must obey Mo Li's orders."
"Understood, Lord Mo Li. Please give the order!"
"The plan is simple: Mine will be responsible for shooting Iocal, and the rest of you will take care of the five guards."
"So, Mo Li, are you just going to watch from the sidelines?"
Because of what happened during the day, Mine deliberately stood up to provoke her.

Mo Li walked up to Mine, stretched out his large hand, and vigorously rubbed her head before saying:
"Of course I'll take care of your safety. With your mediocre skills, you'd be a lamb to the slaughter if the enemy got into close combat with you."
"Who, who needs your protection? My romantic cannon is no joke!"
Although Mine said that, she had to admit in her heart that Mo Li was right.
And so, the group split into two groups. Mine and Moli occupied the high ground, finding good positions to shoot targets at any time.
Meanwhile, Akame, Leone, Hill, Brand, and Lubbock lay in ambush on either side of the woods, waiting to wipe out the five bodyguards as they passed by.
The forest outside the villa of Iocal in the capital city.
Mine stared at the mountaintop, panting heavily, with the Imperial Arms Romantic Cannon Pumpkin on her back.
"Hoo~ hoo, wait for me a minute, Mo Li, are we here yet?"
"It's still early. Mine, don't you exercise regularly? You're already exhausted after such a short walk."
"Don't joke around, this lady is not going to sweat it out with a bunch of men like you."
"Then you'd better hurry up, otherwise if you miss the opportunity, it won't be so easy next time."
Mo Li's words roused Mine to her spirits, and she quickened her pace. However, less than five minutes later, she was back to her old self, leaving Mo Li shaking her head in disbelief.
If this continues, even when the sun comes out, Mayn might not be able to climb up.
"Fine, I'll just be kind and help you out!"
"Eh, what—!? Wait, I can do it myself, ahhhhhhh!"
Mo Li ignored Mine's haughtiness, picked her up in a princess carry, and leaped into the air.
Mine quickly clung tightly to Mo Li's neck, closing her eyes and letting the wind blow across her face.
Before Mine could react, the two had already arrived at the designated location.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now, we've arrived."
"Hey you, next time you're going to do something dangerous, could you at least tell me first?"
"Yes, yes, it's urgent. You should adjust your gun first, so you don't miss."
"Hmph, who do you think you're talking to? Such a short distance is a piece of cake for a shooting genius like me. Now we're just waiting for him to come out."
Mine aimed the gun at the villa, calmed herself down a bit, took a deep breath, and then focused intently on the sight, her index finger on the trigger.
Seeing this, Mo Li stopped bothering Mine and activated his clairvoyance, just in time to see Iokar walking out of the main gate.
Behind him were dozens of men guarding him, all of whom appeared to be soldiers from the Imperial Army.
No wonder he's related to a high-ranking official; even his outings are so grand. It's just a pity that such ostentatious people usually only end up with one fate: death.
Chapter 240 Mine: My worldview has collapsed
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, and a yellow beam of light pierced through the entire forest, striking Iokar directly in the forehead.
White smoke billowed from the muzzle. Mine slowly stood up, brushing the dust off her clothes. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to shooting, Mine can be called a genius.
"Nice, good marksmanship. Those five guys are already charging this way."
"Leave the rest to Akame and the others. My mission is complete."
"How are you? Can you still walk? Do you need me to carry you a little further?"
"Hmm...no need, I can walk by myself!"
Upon hearing Mo Li mention what had just happened, a blush crept onto her confident face. She hurried towards the assembly point, not daring to look at Mo Li again.
Seeing this, Mo Li smiled and followed Mine's footsteps away.
Meanwhile, the five bodyguards who were originally protecting Iocar were rushing to the sniping position. Iocar being shot dead in front of them was tantamount to slapping them in the face.
Moreover, the people protecting them are relatives of the ministers, and if the murderer is not caught, their fate will be very tragic.
Having come from the Imperial Fist Temple, they knew all too well how terrifying the Minister was, but unfortunately for them, their opponent this time was Night Raid.
Leone, Akame, Hill, Brand, and Lubbock stood in their way.
"Here I come! This time I'm going to cause quite a ruckus!"
"Take care of them as soon as possible. Lord Moli and Mine are still waiting for us."
"Burial!"
After only a few moves, the members of the Imperial Fist Temple were unable to gain any advantage against Night Raid, whose members were all equipped with Imperial Arms.
Although the Imperial Fist Temple is the best fist fighting unit in the country, no matter how powerful the fists are, they cannot defeat the power of the Imperial Arms.
In no time, the raiding party killed all four men who came, leaving none alive.
"Seriously, they're really not enough to fight!"
"Strange, I remember there were five guards, why are there only four?"
"Well, there's no share for me, we don't have enough people!"
"That 893 Lubbock, your compensation of 964 is only half. 46 zero."
"Hey, hey, hey, how could you do this, big sister? This is outrageous!"
Everyone present had come from hell, so how could they not know where the other person had gone?
The reason we can still chat and laugh here is entirely because there's an even more powerful person over there.
Leone even clasped her hands together and prayed to heaven, hoping that the person wouldn't die too tragically.
After all, Mo Li was someone who could single-handedly take on the entire Night Raid. Leone really couldn't understand who could threaten him. Esdeath? Or General Budo?
Mo Li and Mine arrived at the meeting point, under a cherry blossom tree; it seemed they were the first to arrive.
"This is the rendezvous point. Mission accomplished."
"Don't make any promises you can keep, Mine. The mission isn't complete until you safely return to Night Raid."
"No way, humph, what danger could there be here..."
Before Mine could finish speaking, a cold wind swept behind her, and a burly man suddenly appeared behind her, his face contorted with malice.
At this moment, Mine had no time to dodge. Just as the man's fist was about to hit Mine, a hand suddenly blocked the man's fist. Mo Li blocked it with just one hand.
"The power is good, but it's a pity the speed is a bit slow!"
"What?! He blocked my full-force attack with just one hand, and he was so fast!"
"You're one of the smarter ones out of the five of you; you managed to find your way here without Leone and the others."
"Don't underestimate me. I was once the acting master of the Imperial Fist Temple, although it was ten years ago."
Mo Li yawned. It was hard to tell whether to call him smart or stupid. Couldn't he see the difference between the two?
Or is it that I have enough confidence in my skills? Hmm, am I being underestimated?
"You're just unlucky to have met me. I suggest you just kill yourself!"
"What a joke, that was just a coincidence."
"Seriously, how out of touch are you? You should know who I am just by looking at this face."
Mo Li sighed. His fame shouldn't be so low. Even ordinary people know him, yet this little bodyguard in front of him doesn't recognize him.
The man looked at Mo Li carefully, his fear growing more and more obvious, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"You, you are...the Demon King—!"
"Bingo, you got it right. As a reward, I can give you another chance. Just kill yourself. I really don't want to dirty my hands by killing you."
"Don't even think about it! I'm absolutely—uh ...
The bodyguard clutched his neck, unable to utter a single word for a long time, as blood continued to flow from his neck.
Mo Li gently blew away the white smoke from the muzzle of the gun, returning the Romantic Cannon to Mine.
Mine pointed at Mo Li with trembling hands, her eyes filled with disbelief, and asked in astonishment:
"You, you, how come you can use [Pumpkin]? Isn't it said that Imperial Arms can recognize a master?"
"That's only how you see it. In my opinion, all Imperial Arms in the world are just tools to increase strength. As long as it's a tool, there's no one I can't use."
Mo Li pretended to be profound and said that when he picked up the Romantic Cannon, he did feel resistance, but the moment he released the aura of the Demon King, it obediently obeyed and let Mo Li use it.
Unable to comprehend or imagine, Mine felt that her previous understanding had undergone a complete transformation.
The Imperial Arms will choose its own user. If it is used by someone else, there are only two possibilities: either the Imperial Arms will be unable to exert its power, or it will directly harm the host.
Furthermore, Teigu users cannot use two or more Teigu simultaneously, as it consumes a great deal of physical and mental energy.
These two regulations severely limited the number of people who could use Imperial Arms, so there were very few Imperial Arms users.
But for Mo Lilai 793, there are no restrictions at all. As long as he wants, he can use all forty-eight Imperial Arms, except for the kind like Esdeath's.
The Demonic Manifestation: Essence of the Demon, which Essence of the Demon had already consumed, had become part of her blood. Unless she was killed, it could not be used by a second person.
Not long after, Akame, Leone, and the other four returned and immediately saw the person lying on the ground.
Leone immediately recognized the hole in Mine's neck as a mark of the Romantic Cannon, and quickly stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder, saying with great satisfaction:
"Oh, well done, Mine, you took him down with a single shot."
Mine glanced at Mo Li discreetly; she wouldn't take credit for it, even though Mo Li didn't care at all.
"It wasn't me, eldest sister, Mo Li killed this person."
"No way, this is obviously a wound that only a Romantic Cannon could inflict. Could it be..."
Mine nodded helplessly. Ever since she met Mo Li, her worldview had almost collapsed.
Leone's expression was exactly the same as Mine's back then. If more people like Mo Li came, then the Teigu users would really be in danger.
Fortunately, Mo Li was on the Revolutionary Army's side, Leone could only convince himself of this.
"Mission accomplished, Lord Mo Li, shouldn't we head back?"
"That's true. Now we just have to wait for the ministers to make their move. I hope they don't bore me too much, otherwise I'll have no choice but to go to their doorstep myself."

The night passed, and Mo Li got up early and went to the training ground.
Brand held up his spear and looked at Mo Li with a smile, as if he had been waiting for his arrival for a long time.
These days it's been like this every day. They say that you can only improve your strength in battle, so Brand always pesters Mo Li to train with him.
