Their commission was suspicious.

Therefore, almost everyone who saw the proclamation believed that Night Raid was actually a special intelligence organization under the Empire, a special intelligence organization used to fight against Ernest.

If the young emperor really wanted to deal with the night raid, simply sending a large army to the border would definitely solve the problem.

In terms of raw power, the Revolutionary Army currently lacks the strength to fight the Empire, let alone in a small-team format like a night raid.

We could overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

In the world of Akame ga Kill!, apart from Esdeath, none of the others are strong enough to form an army on their own.

The person with the most complicated feelings is naturally Akame, who was originally an imperial assassination organization, then joined the revolutionary army, and now suddenly finds herself in an imperial intelligence organization.

“Calm down first. Things may be different from what you think. The corrupt officials we killed before were indeed assassination targets of the Revolutionary Army. In fact, I did meet with the young emperor and talk to him in the past two days, but I did not mention joining the Empire…” Najendan slowly began.

Najenda didn't expect the young emperor to pull this stunt.

Without Najenda's permission, the young emperor directly attempted to cook the rice into a cooked meal... cutting off the fuel supply.

The moment the young emperor issued this proclamation, it meant that Night Raid was almost about to break with the Revolutionary Army.

The revolutionary army is currently fighting in the rear, while the night raid squad is deep inside enemy territory to carry out a decapitation strike.

When separated by a great distance, it is easy for the situation to arise where "a general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders." Now that the young emperor has directly issued the proclamation, it is impossible for the revolutionary army not to be suspicious.

In addition, Najenda herself was a former general of the Empire...

The most likely scenario is that the Revolutionary Army will send people to retrieve all the Imperial Arms of the Night Raid Squad and then imprison them.

It sounds outrageous, but this is probably the best treatment Night Raid and others could receive in the Revolutionary Army.

Night Raid and his group would most likely find this situation unbearable.

"...That's how it is. I only told the young emperor that if he could truly revitalize the empire and give it a new lease on life, I might join them," Najenda said.

Najendan didn't present any evidence, because those who believe will ultimately believe, and those who don't won't believe no matter what evidence they have.

"Oh, I see. Oh, that scared me to death! I almost thought I'd really become one of the Empire's... subordinates. Come to think of it, joining the Empire now doesn't seem like a bad idea. The condition is that the organization's name can't be changed to 'Eastern Depot'! Absolutely not!" Mine strongly objected.

It seems that Mine truly loathes that name.

As for surrendering to the Empire... it's not entirely out of the question.

After all, such an important event had occurred in the Empire, and Night Raid and the others naturally knew about it and had verified its authenticity. A miracle had indeed occurred in the Empire, and Minister Ernest had indeed been hung up and burned.

The young emperor did indeed send men to ransack Ernest's house, and at the same time imprisoned a large number of corrupt officials and nobles who had committed numerous evil deeds.

The number of criminals the young emperor arrested and imprisoned in a single day was more than the workload of Night Raid and his team in a year.

Moreover, a number of high-ranking nobles and officials who had committed numerous evil deeds had already been beheaded, right in front of the imperial public execution platform.

The winds of change in the empire have truly shifted...

"So in your opinion, has the empire been reborn?" Chelsea slowly walked to the window.

Seeing Chelsea's actions, Akame's position also subtly changed, blocking Chelsea's possible escape routes and ensuring that Akame could subdue or even kill Chelsea the moment she jumped out of the window to escape.

Unlike Chelsea, Night Raid and the others trusted Najendan enough, but Chelsea didn't.

Therefore, Chelsea is the most likely candidate to "betray".

“Not yet, at least not now… The future of the Empire cannot be determined based on its current performance alone. We need to wait at least two more days, and if it really comes to that, I will consult your opinions on how to proceed, and I will also ask the Revolutionary Army Headquarters for their advice,” Najendan said.

"But if the empire is truly reborn, it's hard to say whether the revolutionary army will still have any value."

Chelsea's heart, which had just settled down, was jolted awake again by Najendan's words.

Akame, who had just lowered her hand, gripped the knife again because of those words.

Chelsea's hair stood on end!

Chelsea's direct combat ability is extremely weak. Not to mention Akame, she can't even beat Sayo, who is an archer.

“Akame, put down your sword. There’s no need to be on guard. Chelsea is still our ally. It’s still unknown how this matter will be resolved. Whether to choose to join the newly formed Empire or to insist on overthrowing the Empire with the Revolutionary Army is still a question.”

“I will personally go to the Revolutionary Army headquarters to discuss this matter,” Najendan said in a deep voice.

"Go in person?" Mine's voice involuntarily rose.

In this situation, do you dare to go to the Revolutionary Army headquarters in person? Aren't you afraid they'll put you under house arrest or even kill you to boost morale and fighting spirit?

“This is very unsafe…” Even Chelsea couldn’t help but offer this opinion.

After all, for Najenda to dare to personally go to the Revolutionary Army headquarters for discussions under these circumstances, she must be either a tiger or a fool.

"I will take responsibility for protecting the boss," a voice suddenly rang out.

"Wow!" Chelsea, who had been leaning against the window, was startled and dropped her lollipop.

Because the sound just now came from right next to my ear.

For an assassin to be so close without even noticing someone getting this close, he's truly not far from death.

"Oh, that scared me to death! Xiao Bai, can you please stop appearing out of nowhere? People with heart conditions can really be scared to death." Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who had approached her, and was no longer surprised.

Loli Hassan's unparalleled stealth skills, combined with her S-class presence control, allow her to stand right in front of someone without being noticed.

“Xiao Bai will come with me. I’m going to discuss things, not to die. Don’t worry about my safety,” Najendan said.

Hassan, a loli capable of spiritification and possessing unparalleled stealth and presence manipulation skills, is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Akame ga Kill!, a game of overwhelming power against everyone else.

Furthermore, Loli Hassan possesses the ultimate wide-range attack Imperial Arm – Star of Eden.

Therefore, in the established setting, Loli Hassan is someone that no one in the Revolutionary Army wants to mess with.

Because of her ability to disappear at any time, no one can catch her, and no one can defend against her.

Identification is a good thing.

"But boss... can't you really change the name of this organization? The name 'Eastern Depot' just feels... weird," Mine muttered.

"Oh, we've discussed this before. They said there were two options, one was the Eastern Depot, and the other..."

"What's the other one called?"

"The other one is called the Western Depot."

"..."

"Let's put the name issue aside for now. I'm curious, boss, when did you meet the little emperor?" Lubbock quickly changed the subject.

Lubbock is undoubtedly a die-hard fan of Najenda, the kind of fan who's as devoted as can be.

Therefore, Lubbock naturally sided with Najenda and wanted to address the change in team atmosphere caused by the issue of recruiting her.

"Hmm, when did you meet? Weren't you seeing the little emperor the past few days?" Najendan countered.

"How could that be? How could we possibly see the little emperor? We haven't gone out to take on any missions these past two days, have we?" Mine shook her head.

"That little mute girl, wasn't that nickname given to her by you, Mine?"

"A little... a little mute? He... he's the little emperor? How is that possible?!" Mine's pupils constricted as she took a step back in fright.

The others in the night raid were also greatly surprised.

"Damn it, if I work under the little emperor in the future, will I be punished? ... Wait, here's the question: if the little mute is the little emperor, then who is Lolo who brought the little mute to Night Raid? How did he bring the little emperor out of the palace?" Mine suddenly realized a very important question.

"According to Lolo, the little emperor was snatched directly from the palace, and then someone was hired to impersonate him for a day."

"..."

"If he has such abilities, why doesn't he assassinate the ministers?" Mine complained.

Putting aside how difficult it would be to bring the young emperor out, the idea of ​​having someone impersonate the young emperor for a day without being discovered is already absurd.

Moreover, isn't the palace's defense force stronger than that of the ministers?

If you're so capable, why don't you assassinate the minister?

"Are you really sure... Lolo didn't assassinate the minister?" Najendan squinted.

"Sigh, have you ever been assassinated?"

"Hmph, do you think there are many coincidences in the world?" Najendan said indifferently.

If Najenda remembers correctly, the timing of Chen Luo's appearance seems to coincide with the sudden changes in the empire.

Chen Luo had only been in the capital for two days when the young emperor was kidnapped from the palace. For two days, there was no news of anything happening in the palace, and no one even noticed the young emperor's disappearance.

Another day passed, and bizarre events such as the East Sea Dragon, the Blood Moon Night, and black feathers falling from the sky continued to occur one after another...

Najendan could not deny the possibility that Chen Luo might be involved in one or more of these matters.

If Najenda remembers correctly, Chen Luo seems to have some connection with a mysterious Eastern group called Gensokyo.

Especially the sage Yakumo Yukari, whom Chen Luo feared and called the most ruthless, most vicious, most terrifying, most cunning, and most sharp-tongued demon.

But Najenda couldn't figure out why Chen Luo was involved in this series of imperial events.

After everyone had left, Najenda suddenly called out to Baima Hassan.

"Xiao Bai, wait a moment, I want to give you a task."

"What mission?" Bai Mao Hassan paused for a moment, then turned and asked.

You know what a loli is, right?

"Hmm." Loli Hassan nodded, but her mind was already on high alert.

Why did Najenda ask that question?

Could it be that Najenda has already realized her master-servant relationship with Chen Luo?

That doesn't make sense, though. Loli Hassan thinks her disguise these past few days has been quite perfect. And the effectiveness of the identification document hasn't been revealed yet.

Things like identification documents are something that people will never realize is problematic unless the facts are told to them directly.

This has nothing to do with IQ, but rather with changes in cognition.

Besides, Najenda's intelligence wasn't so high as to be almost supernatural; she was simply rational and kind enough.

So logically speaking, Najendan shouldn't be able to guess the relationship between herself and Chen Luo, right?

"Now I have a very important task to entrust to you," Najenda said solemnly.

"What mission?" Loli Hassan narrowed her eyes.

Lori Hassan is considering whether to urgently request that Chen Luo come over.

“Help me monitor Lolo, keep an eye on his every move, and then report back to me. He should be staying at the Esdeath family's residence right now,” Najenda said.

"???"

"Is it possible?"

“If I were to do it, I definitely could…” Loli Hassan hesitated, then stopped herself.

"Is there any difficulty? Tell me, and I can help you solve it."

You might not believe it, but the biggest challenge in the task you proposed is yourself...

"...You might as well just let me infiltrate his house as a spy." After being speechless for a while, Loli Hassan could only make a casual remark.

"Great idea! Let's do it this way!" Najendan's eyes lit up.

Loli Hassan's ability to diminish her presence can indeed be used as an alternative disguise skill.

Najendan believed that Loli Hassan would not let her down.

Loli Hassan will also become Najendan's trump card in uncovering Chen Luo's true nature!

"???"

"The wind is so strong, it's blowing all my voices back!" Abby flew through the air, enjoying the feeling of the strong wind.

"Abi, be careful not to fall," Chen Luo said with some concern.

Even if Chen Luo could catch Abby in time no matter what angle Abby fell from, preventing Abby from getting hurt.

However, no parent would feel comfortable letting their child do something unsafe.

Even if Abby is an SS-level talent user.

"Okay!" Abby nodded excitedly.
