“I’ve seen through everything. You always said that you were following tradition and that warriors shouldn’t get involved in politics, so you haven’t done anything all this time. That’s how Ernest, that parasite, got into control of the core of the empire.”

"It may sound like Ernest's fault, but what about you? You just watched Ernest drain the entire empire, isn't that the greatest support you could give Ernest?"

At this moment, Najendan raised her head and looked down at Bud.

"Listen up, Bud!"

"An empire that lasted for a thousand years on the continent was destroyed by Ernest and you, Bud!"

Najenda's words struck Bud like a bolt of lightning, causing the powder keg that had been holding back for so long to finally explode.

"Najenda—!"

"I'm going to kill you today!!!"

A massive surge of thunder and killing intent erupted from Bud's body at this moment, and even the clear sky that had been there just moments before was completely covered by dark clouds and lightning.

"Ha, did I hit a nerve?"

"But I must remind you, even if you kill me, you cannot save the empire, and besides... you may not even make it back alive!"

Najenda picked up the "pumpkin" that she hadn't used in a long time, her eyes sweeping over the soldiers and colleagues around her whose attitudes had completely changed, her expression solemn.

"Gentlemen, the time has come for us to demonstrate our 'loyalty'!"

"For the people of the North..."

"For Her Majesty the Empress..."

"war!"

Kerritt & Hazel: Akame ga Kill! Chapter 54 "Weakness Detected"

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, thunder erupted from the dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning struck the ground, its target General Bude himself, outside the capital of the Northern Kingdom.

The lightning was not a natural phenomenon, but rather something that General Budo deliberately created, with the purpose of obtaining the Imperial Treasure, the Imperial Arms!

Thor's Wrath - Admiral Miller.

The armor-like Imperial Arms worn on the body has powerful iron stakes on both arms, and can even summon powerful lightning to attack.

The strange phenomenon in the sky was summoned by Admiral in order to subdue his own attacks…

In order to destroy the capital city walls in one strike!

"Thunder Cannon!"

By drawing upon lightning from nature to launch powerful attacks, this method can significantly reduce the consumption of one's mental and physical strength, and it is a method that has been passed down from the ancestors of General Bude.

Not only can it enhance the power of Imperial Arms, it can also greatly increase the endurance, making it perfectly capable of fighting a protracted battle with the opponent.

The lightning cannon, tens of meters in diameter, started from Bud and aimed directly at Najendan above the royal capital. It seems that what the benevolent lord said earlier really hit Bud's sore spot.

Facing the Empire's strongest general, General Bud, Najenda naturally dared not relax in the slightest. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and aimed the pumpkin cannon in her hand at the incoming lightning.

"Everyone, please follow our previous arrangements and do not act on your own."

"Don't worry, we won't do anything unnecessary."

“Since Her Majesty the Empress has entrusted you with full authority to make arrangements, there must be a reason for it. We will not let personal grudges interfere with official business.”

The other Golden Blood members around them were in much better spirits after hearing Najenda's words, and even their hostility towards her had diminished considerably. The reason for this was...

As long as you remain loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, we will be friends forever!

“Then I’d be very grateful.” Najendan smiled slightly, then her tone became serious. “Please rest assured that you will leave General Bud to me. I will absolutely not lose!”

The thunderous rush was about to arrive, but Najenda remained motionless, holding her gun, her eyes fixed on the super thunder cannon that had spread out to a range of over a hundred meters.

In a fleeting moment, Najenda seemed to see something, and a golden light flashed in her pupils.

"I see!"

Pumpkin immediately turned its gun around and fired a powerful laser.

However, compared to General Bud's lightning cannon, Pumpkin's laser beam seemed exceptionally small, like a huge contrast between a house cat and a tiger.

Generally speaking, with such a large gap in skill, the outcome of the attack is practically a foregone conclusion. However, Najenda's upturned lips seemed to suggest that the outcome was still uncertain.

The two attacks clashed instantly, and a jaw-dropping scene unfolded before everyone's eyes. General Bud's massive thunder cannon was actually shattered by Najenda's tiny laser beam!

"This is impossible!"

The Empire was naturally extremely surprised. Given that there was only one Grand General at the moment, Bud was undoubtedly the strongest in the Empire.

However, the empire's strongest and most powerful attack was actually defeated by an unknown young general, which was a huge embarrassment.

Even Bud himself gradually changed from anger to confusion, and he himself did not understand what had happened.

Not only the Empire's soldiers, but also the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom and the Golden Descendants were shocked, but after the shock came joyful cheers.

"Truly worthy of being called the Benevolent Lord, his strength is so formidable!"

"No wonder Her Majesty the Queen told us to listen to her. I had some objections before, but now I have none at all!"

"We will definitely win!"

Although the soldiers of the North cheered, they had no idea what Lord Goodheart had done; it was probably only Najenda herself who knew…

"Indeed, this ability is amazing!"

Najendan wore an extremely unreal expression, even she herself found it hard to believe.

As the first Goldborn after Esdeath, Najenda, despite being a surrendered general, also possessed special abilities. However, these abilities were almost never used in actual combat.

"See through weaknesses".

This ability not only enhances Najenda's eyesight, but also allows her to find enemy weaknesses at the fastest speed, and all attacks are amplified when attacking weaknesses.

Because Najenda was an Imperial general, she rarely fought against powerful enemies after surrendering, mostly just testing the waters in training.

For example, when Najenda was sparring with Lubbock, she could clearly see a small red dot suddenly appear on Lubbock's body as he swung his sword.

Once this little red dot is attacked, Lubbock's stance will be broken instantly, making it impossible for him to launch any further attacks.

It sounds very powerful, but in actual combat, weaknesses can change frequently, often shifting several times in a second, making it difficult for the opponent to have a chance to aim.

Moreover, once they encounter a strong opponent, their ability to change tactics will be faster, which will also cause their weaknesses to change rapidly.

Fortunately, Najenda found a solution: overwhelming firepower! As long as the area-of-effect laser from the pumpkin is used, it can hit the weak point directly in most cases, and even if the weak point has shifted, it will still be within the range of the attack!

"Looking at it this way, you, Bud, aren't so strong after all!"

Najenda held the smoking pumpkin cannon, her smile even wider than before.

"Stop with such low-level provocations, you traitor!"

Despite his burning anger at the enemy's taunts, Bud was not about to fall for their trap.

"What I did just now was casual. I thought I could take care of you all, but to my surprise... you've actually become stronger?"

"I was originally thinking of our past relationship and planned to give you a quick death, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore..."

"Admiral—!"

With Bud's roar, lightning dozens of times stronger than before gathered in the sky once more, and Bud himself was enveloped by a huge bolt of lightning, turning him into "Lightning Man".

"The Pumpkin Cannon can only fire one attack at a time. You can certainly protect yourself, but what about your army? Can they withstand my lightning?"

In the next instant, dozens of bolts of lightning were aimed at the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom. If these attacks hit, the Northern Kingdom's army would certainly suffer an unprecedented blow.

But Najenda wasn't going to tolerate Bud. The moment she narrowed her eyes, golden light flashed once more, and countless weaknesses were imprinted in Najenda's eyes.

"Indeed, the pumpkin turret is not convenient for continuous attacks, but the duration of its attack is enough for me to defeat you!"

Pumpkin Turret - Sweep!

PS:

Chapter 51 has been revised.

Kerritt & Hazel / Scarlet Eyes: Chapter 55 The Blazing Rock of Fire and Earth

The Pumpkin Cannon isn't convenient for continuous firing, but its duration is incredibly long, so much so that this gun-shaped Imperial Arm often resembles a gun...

That's right, shoot him, sharpshooter!

This is the kind of gun!

Najenda only needs to wave her Imperial Arm, which is just over a meter long, and the white laser can destroy mountains hundreds of meters away.

Although moving the Imperial Arm by even one centimeter could shift the attack range by tens of meters, this is not a difficult task for Najenda, the current Goldenborn.

And those weaknesses she had spotted were naturally and unsurprisingly wiped out, causing the oncoming lightning to dissipate into the air once again.

At this moment, Najenda proved herself to everyone, demonstrating that even though she was not yet twenty years old, she could fight on equal terms with the Empire's strongest general, Bud, all by herself.

"I didn't expect you to actually have such strength. Then I'll leave Bud to you!"

Seeing this, her comrades unsurprisingly left the stage to Najenda, after all, Najenda was a Golden Blood who possessed a Teigu.

Having already blocked Bud's attacks several times, the Golden Blood have come to believe that Najenda has the ability to protect her companions.

"Okay, don't worry about leaving it to me!"

With the arrival of Bude, the siege of the northern capital officially began, with countless cannon shots and lasers intertwining in the air, clearly audible even from ten thousand meters away.

Despite the vast scope of the conflict, the battle between the two sides did not turn into a one-sided affair, but rather remained deadlocked.

But both leaders understood that this was just a test, and they hadn't really gotten serious yet!

—

Another battlefield.

Ceryl, Heather, and Esdeath, along with over eight hundred Golden Bloods, had firmly pinned this super dangerous creature, which was several thousand meters tall, to the ground, even imprisoning its joints with solid ice.

With Heather's voice, which contains the power of nothingness, taking down this dragon shouldn't be a problem.

However, the reason why super dangerous species are super dangerous is precisely because of their exaggeratedly powerful strength!

Boom boom boom—!

The dragon, subdued on the ground, did not move its life force, but crimson patterns emerged from its entire body, and even white steam rose from it.

Krydella, who was facing the dragon head-on, immediately noticed the anomaly and transmitted what she had seen to everyone's minds.

"All troops retreat! Cold Shadow Lord, do everything in your power to control the enemy's movements! Sword Banner Lord, can you stop them?"

"I'm afraid it can't be done in a short time... I need time."

"Then let's keep singing!"

The Golden Bloods, who were still attacking, immediately retreated after receiving the correct instructions.

It was at this moment that they witnessed the true terror of the super dangerous species!

The dragon's body had developed countless cracks, and crimson magma, or perhaps blood, was wrapped around its entire body.

Boom boom boom—!

Then, the volcano erupted.

The dragon's body was like a giant moving volcano, not only spewing out "magma" that burned everything, but also sending red "rubble" flying into the air, which formed a huge crater upon landing.

"Truly worthy of being called a super dangerous species..."

Judging by the Pokémon's type, this Super Dangerous Pokémon is at least a top-tier Pokémon with both Fire and Earth types!

The fiery boulders formed from fire and earth instantly flowed over the dragon's entire body. Fortunately, Krydella managed to get the Golden Blood to retreat in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Esdeath seemed to still be controlling the ice, trying to suppress the dragon in place, but she encountered an elemental disadvantage and could only watch helplessly as her ice melted...

Cerudela, however, narrowed her eyes slightly and did not make any unnecessary movements. Instead, she swung her scepter again, and after finding a certain spot, she struck the rocks with lightning, just like hitting a baseball.

However, these fiery rocks were ultimately products of the dragon and couldn't effectively harm it, but at least Crydella's goal was achieved...

"Roar--!"
