"Then what's the matter with this injury on your body?"

The other members of the Night Raid said in surprise.

Leone spread his hands, then scratched his hair in distress and said, "After I found out the new address of the masked man, I was ready to go investigate. As a result, I just ran to the roof of the church not far from the mansion, and I was attacked remotely."

"Long-range strike?"

Hearing this, Najeshitan couldn't help but look at a girl with pink twin ponytails who was also sitting in the conference room.

Can Maine's pumpkin make Leone miserable through long-range attacks?

As if she had sensed the doubt in Najeshitan's eyes, Maine became a little angry on the spot.

"Hey, hey, what's that look in your eyes! My pumpkin is the strongest!!!"

"Yes, yes, I know, Myne."

Najeshitan comforted her insincerely.

"What? Humph!" Marin snorted in dissatisfaction, and then asked Leone: "Leone, what weapon did the person who attacked you use! When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely help you get revenge!"

"Forehead……"

Looking at the confident Maine, Leone touched his nose and said, "Wooden spear..."

“???” Three question marks immediately appeared above Ma Yin’s head.

At the side, a muscular man with a crew cut and visibly muscular body suddenly brightened up his eyes after hearing what Leone said.

"Could it be... the same wooden spear I used during training?"

He looked at Leone expectantly.

"Yes, it's the same wooden spear you usually use for training, Brand."

Leone nodded and continued.

"Don't look at me like that. I was attacked before I even saw anyone."

Leone said that he didn't want to see Brand's eager eyes, and said, "The wooden spear flew out of the mansion that the little emperor rewarded to Mask, and directly blew up the roof of the church where I was standing."

Leone pointed at the clothes on her body that had turned into rags.

"This is what was left after the wooden spear collided with the roof. If it weren't for my strong recovery ability of the King of Beasts, I might still be lying somewhere in the imperial capital waiting for your rescue."

"However, because my recovery ability is too strong, there are still many wooden thorns and other things left in my body. Akame, I'll trouble you to help clean them up later."

The Red Eye that Leona mentioned is the elder sister of the two sisters that Asuna has been looking for for many years in vain, but there is only Red Eye here, and the Black Eye is nowhere to be seen.

"okay."

Akame nodded and agreed.

"An attack launched from such a long distance could actually cause such a degree of damage to you, Leona? It seems that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated."

Brand gently flicked his proud crew cut with his hand, with a hint of fighting spirit in his tone.

"If that's all, Leona, you wouldn't be so embarrassed, right?"

Najeshitan touched her chin, slowly sat down at the conference table, blew out a puff of smoke, and asked.

"I never said that I was only attacked from the air once."

Later, Leone told about the second aerial attack he encountered.

In particular, the fact that his instinct after transforming into a beast was giving him a crazy warning was highlighted.

"Can't defeat him?"

A trace of solemnity flashed across Najeshitan's eyes.

Everyone in the night raid knew exactly how strong Leone was.

However, today, Leone had just shown up when he was forced away by the enemy in this way, and even left hidden injuries in his body. This shows that the strength of the two people who attacked Leone was far beyond that of Leone and most of the people in the night raid.

Now it seems that the mission to assassinate the masked general needs to be temporarily postponed.

After all, based on the strength that the other party has revealed now, it is already far beyond the people who are currently attacking at night. If they rashly go to assassinate them, they might be left there.

45 Who said I was going to wipe you out?

It is better to wait until we have obtained detailed information before telling them the task conveyed by the higher-ups.

Najeshitan felt a headache when she thought of the mission to assassinate the Masked General requested by the Revolutionary Army's top brass.

Assassination?

According to the strength Leone described now, we'd be lucky not to be wiped out if we go up, let alone an assassination?

Take a shower and go to sleep!

Although she was distressed, Najeshitan's face did not show any expression. She still had a thoughtful look, as if she was thinking about the future tasks and policies of the night raid.

Leone: "Boss?"

Najeshitan came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "No... It's okay, let's stop here for today, Akahime, I'll leave Leona in your care."

"Yeah." Akahime nodded, then looked at Leona, and slowly unsheathed the knife in her arms.

"Hey, hey, don't scare me, put the knife back quickly." Leone held his forehead helplessly.

I only had some minor injuries. If I were really stabbed by Chi Tong, it would not be a matter of minor injuries, but a question of whether I could survive.

"Ok."

Akagi put the knife back into the scabbard with some disappointment.

"Then I'll go back first, boss." Brand supported the table with both hands and stood up.

As his body moved, the exaggerated crew cut on his head also shook a few times. In response, he just skillfully fiddled with it a few times with his hands and it calmed down.

"I really hope to fight those two unknown strong men as soon as possible..."

"In that case, I'll go back first." Marin also stood up. "However, if we have to fight those two guys in the future, my pumpkin and I will definitely defeat them!"

"Let's go, Xi'er."

"Eh? Is the meeting over? Oh... it's over..."

Next to Main, a girl who had been reading with her head down raised her head after hearing Main's words.

She pushed her glasses, nodded to Najeshitan, and then left with Main.

"Then I'll go back and continue to be on guard, boss." The person who spoke was a young man with green hair, green eyes, and goggles on his head.

"Well, thank you for your help, Lubbock."

Najeshita nodded. Although Leone escaped from the imperial capital successfully, there was no guarantee that the other party would not have subordinates who were good at tracking. If they were allowed to follow the clues and find their base, then they would have to fight.

Even if they are finally repelled, this base cannot be used anymore, and the difficulty of building another base in the imperial capital will increase dramatically.

The young man in front of him has an imperial weapon that can be used for reconnaissance, so for the safety of the base, he is destined to patrol everywhere tonight.

After all, if you only rely on imperial tools, there will inevitably be some omissions.

"No trouble, no trouble." Hearing Najeshitan's words "Sorry to trouble you", a lewd smile suddenly appeared on Labok's face. Combined with his green hair, it is easy for people to have dirty thoughts.

"Go quickly!"

"Yes, yes! I'll go right away!"

At this point, only Najeshitan, Leone and Akame were left in the meeting room.

"That guy is still the same, boss." Leone said to Najeshitan with a smile.

"It would be better if he could focus on other things..." Najeshitan said with a helpless sigh.

"That guy Lubbock is obsessed with you, Boss. It's not easy to change his mind."

"Eh? Does Lubbock like the boss?"

Akagi on the side said in surprise.

Leona: “…”

Najeshitan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Najeshitan waved her hand and spoke to Leone and Akahime.

"Forget it, you should go back and heal your wounds."

Leone grinned and stood up, "Well, see you tomorrow, boss."

"Wait for me, Leona." Akahime quickly stood up and followed with the sword in her arms. When she passed by Najeshita, she slowed down and whispered, "Good night, boss."

"Well, after you help Leone with his injuries, go back to sleep."

"Ah."

Akahime nodded slightly and followed.

At this moment, Najeshitan was the only one left in the huge conference room.

She jumped down from the conference table, extinguished the half-burned cigarette in her hand, and sat down in her chair.

She crossed her hands together, rested her smooth chin on them, and fell into deep thought again.

"Masked... huh... I really don't want to fight her..."

She murmured softly, recalling the news about Asuna when she was working in the Empire.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, she realized that she had not heard much about Asuna from the army.

Although she was also a general of the empire, she was active in the interior and south of the empire.

Moreover, by the time she became a general of the empire, the northern and western parts of the empire had already been pacified by Asuna, so naturally there was no need for support from the empire.

In contrast, the southern ethnic minorities who had been active in the southern part of the empire at that time were their main targets.

Although I have heard some rumors about Asuna, I only learned about her when chatting with other generals.

It was Esdeath who told her more news.

Because after she learned about Asuna's strength and achievements, she has always wanted to challenge Asuna.

However, due to various reasons, he was never able to do so and could only chat with them from time to time and express his desire to fight.

"There is almost no useful information. It is amazing that such a person can still hold the position of general. Now it seems that it was too reckless to let Leone to find out their information before."

What Najeshitan didn't know was that Asuna really wanted to find their base, but her purpose was not to destroy them as Najeshitan thought, but to hire them to assassinate the minister.

After all, compared to the rebels behind the night raid, in Asuna's eyes, the fat man Ernest is more troublesome to deal with.

After all, Asuna cannot deal with Ernest personally, otherwise it will easily cause turmoil in the empire.

But the night attack is different. As an assassination organization that is already famous in the imperial capital, if they assassinate Ernest, it will be accepted by everyone. In this way, even the old-fashioned guy Bud will not find a reason to attack them.

As for whether the night attack can successfully assassinate the minister?

Asuna said that she could provide them with military assistance to a certain extent.

46th Guard Squad: It turns out that all this is my fault!

"Lost it?"

In the mansion, Asuna looked at her guards who were kneeling on one knee in front of her with some surprise.

According to her estimation, after experiencing Xavius's physical attack and her own mental suppression, the opponent should not be able to escape the pursuit of her personal guards.

However, the final result was that her personal guards returned empty-handed. This rare failure made Asuna marvel at the strength of the peeper.

"Yes, the other party seems to be an imperial weapon user. During the pursuit, we found that the footprints left by the other party when he fled were not human footprints, but footprints of some large cats."

The leading guard lowered his head slightly and told others what they had discovered.

"A cat? Does the imperial weapon transform... into a beast?"

Asuna nodded thoughtfully, then said to her guards, "You guys go down. Although the other party probably won't come again tonight, as for other forces, it's hard to say. I'm sorry to bother you tonight."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in a deep voice.

In their opinion, not catching Leona was already a serious mistake. Although Asuna did not blame them, they were still angry.
