I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Asuna sighed.

Asuna had seen all the names in this file to some extent.

These people occupied more than two-thirds of the imperial court. It was not easy for those ministers who were wholeheartedly concerned about the empire to hold out for so long under their siege.

"I have sent people to secretly contact those ministers, but the final results are not so ideal."

On the side, Kayaba Jingyan said lightly.

Unlike those ministers who were squeezed out of the court by the ministers, the ministers here are still trying hard to fight against the ministers, and have not yet suffered the painful experience of being dismissed from office and finally persecuted by the ministers.

They always believed that General Budd, the pillar of the empire, would protect them, so they all rejected Asuna's recruitment.

After all, those who have not suffered from the beatings of society will not regret the opportunities they missed.

Look, haven’t you seen those officials who were driven out of the court by the ministers and almost died, now they are serving Asuna obediently.

"It's alright. We just need to protect those ministers who are truly talented. As for those mediocre ministers or those who are foolishly loyal... let them be saved by General Budd, whom they trust so much."

Asuna raised her head and easily decided the future fate of those ministers.

"I see."

Kayaba Akihabara nodded.

"Well, how about I compile a list of officials who need our protection?"

"sorry to bother you."

Kayaba Jingyan: "..."

Okay, okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well kill time.

Kayaba Jingyan flexed her wrists. She had been writing furiously all night long to sort out these documents.

And this morning, just because of this casual remark, I added a lot of tasks to myself.

"Forget it. I've gotten used to it over the years anyway."

Kayaba Jingyan shook her head and said helplessly.

"Okay, then I'll go out first."

"I'll trouble you with the information."

Asuna smiled and nodded, then picked up the information belonging to Demon Ouka, stood up and said.

"Ah."

Kayaba Akihabara responded and followed Asuna. After sending her out of the mansion, she returned to her room and began to sort out the officials who were worthy of their recruitment.

……

……

"This is……"

In the bookstore at the night raid base, Leona took the information handed over by Asuna.

"Oka..."

She softly read out the name of the person in the information.

"You want us to take action against him?"

She asked as she handed the information to Lubbock.

"After all, compared to the forces under the other ministers, Ouka's role, strength, and ability to resist are the weakest. And if we get rid of him, we might be able to get some information that we don't know."

"Although that information may not be of much use to me, it may still be of some use to your night raid."

Asuna nodded and explained.

"Ouka the Devil is indeed our assassination target."

On the side, Lubbock said to Leone.

"I see. Can I take this information back with me?"

Leone nodded and asked Asuna.

"can."

Asuna agreed very generously, without any consideration that this information was the work of Kayaba Akihiko who stayed up all night.

"Don't you have anyone else available in the imperial capital? The way we pass on information is... a bit slow."

"Yes, there is, but the mansion where I live now is always under the surveillance of the ministers. If my people show up rashly, they will only be exposed in vain."

Asuna shook her head. "If you have any plans, just go for it. As long as it doesn't affect our plan to assassinate the minister, then there's no problem."

For Asuna, the night raid was nothing more than a timely assassination of some corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen, and had no impact on herself or anyone else.

"okay, I get it."

Leone nodded.

In that case, let's take that young man to experience the darkness of the imperial capital in advance.

Wouldn't it be fine to have one serving a day?

That night, Najeshitan confirmed the assassination target for tonight based on the information they collected during the night raid and the information provided by Asuna.

The captain of the Imperial Capital Guard—Ouka the Devil.

And the oil merchant named Mailer who colluded with him to make illegal profits.

As for Ouka's information, they already have a lot of criminal records in their database.

However, because he was not of great use to the ministers, Najeshitan and the others did not take him seriously and focused on assassinating the ministers' "capable men".

Moreover, although this guy did many dirty things in secret, he always maintained a good personality in public.

He likes children, cares for his subordinates, has a sense of justice, hates evil, and the smiling face he always has on his face really confuses many people.

Even most of the people in the security team thought that their captain was a good person.

Although he had not been dealt with in the beginning because "he was not important to the minister", when Asuna put his information in front of everyone in the night raid, the good days of the captain of the Imperial Capital Guard were finally over.

With the "verdict" of Oka being issued, the oil merchant Mailer, who had been in cahoots with Oka, naturally could not escape.

The people responsible for assassinating them were Akame, Brand, Leone and Tatsumi.

The oil merchant Mailer was the first person they needed to assassinate.

The purpose is to let Tatsumi see the darkness of this imperial capital and let him know that ordinary people in this huge and prosperous imperial capital are just objects of exploitation.

And after they assassinate (use Musou) the merchant, he will follow Akame and the others to assassinate Demon Ouka.

Although Ouka's strength is not weak, he is far from being a match for Akame and the others. As for Tatsumi...

Since Brand has always said that you are very capable, then you can prove yourself here.

After all, Night Raid is not a safe organization, and every member of the organization may die while performing the mission.

If he didn't have that much strength, even if Tatsumi wanted to join the night raid, he would not be sent to carry out assassination missions. He would have to wait until his strength was recognized by everyone before he could team up with others to carry out several assassinations of low difficulty, so as to gradually become familiar with their assassination life.

……

……

Late that night, two huge fires broke out in a brothel on Slum Street and the Imperial Capital Guard’s base.

The raging fire tore through the sky. Even though she was in the mansion, Asuna could clearly see the two hideous tongues of fire.

However, as an imperial capital that has existed for thousands of years, its various protective measures have long been very complete.

Although these measures had not been maintained for a long time due to the minister's reasons in the past two years, at this moment, they also performed the fire-fighting task very well.

This is probably due to the careful care of the previous king, or the king before that.

In any case, in this era when the power of the young emperor was sidelined and ministers held all the power, the various functional measures in the imperial capital had not been restored for a long time.

And, fortunately, those responsible for firefighting, drainage and other facilities work and management did not resell all the tools.

Otherwise, even if the water source there was not blocked and there were no tools to transport the water, the two fires would still be difficult to extinguish.

There is even the possibility that the fire will spread to other places, causing the largest fire in the history of the imperial capital.

"By the way, does General Bud's imperial weapon have the ability to bring rain?"

In a tower of the mansion, Asuna and Kayaba Akihiko sat facing each other.

Between the two of them, there was a picnic blanket covered with various foods, fruits, and snacks. No one knew how long they had been waiting there.

"How about you go and spar with him tomorrow?"

Realizing Asuna's thoughts, or rather her bad taste, Kayaba Akihiko looked at her helplessly.

"His imperial weapon can inflict lightning damage. If it rains again..."

“That should feel pretty tingling.”

Asuna picked up a grape and put it into her mouth while speaking.

Kayaba Akihiko: "..."

"You can go and try."

"Didn't I hunt a thunderbird a few years ago? It felt pretty good." Asuna nodded thoughtfully.

"However, if it is an imperial weapon, its power should be much greater."

There are countless super dangerous species hidden in the northern borders and alien territories.

There are few people there, making it a perfect home for the dangerous species that live there.

In such an environment, those super-dangerous species that are almost extinct and are hunted in the empire can be encountered as long as you are willing.

If a weak person encounters them, they will just give them a snack, but if a strong person encounters them, it depends on how strong that person is.

Those who are slightly stronger can at most escape from the mouths of super dangerous species.

Those who are a little stronger can only fight those super dangerous species on equal terms, but even so, their physical strength is far from comparable to those super dangerous species, and in the end they can only evacuate in a panic and make other plans.

As for people like Asuna and Bud, there is no suspense at all.

Go in and fight, then carry out the corpse of a super dangerous species and contribute to the development of the North.

Moreover, these imperial gadgets that have been passed down for thousands of years are all made from materials from the bodies of super-dangerous species. Although their current technology is not enough to create a brand new imperial gadget, its value is still immeasurable.

The "Thunderbird" that Asuna mentioned is a super dangerous species in the Northern Mountains.

At that time, that guy suddenly flew out from the Northern Mountains for some unknown reason, causing great panic. For the safety of the people in the North, Asuna knew to send him to a research institute in the North.

Even now, the muscle tissue, certain special organs and materials of the "Thunderbird" are still kept intact in the underground vault of the Northern Research Institute.

“After all, it is a special weapon made from materials from extremely dangerous species.

Moreover, with General Bud's strength, even if he doesn't use the imperial tool, his strength cannot be underestimated... Well, it's no different for you though."

"What are you going to do next?"

Kayaba Akihabara asked.

"You have compiled a lot of information, so just give them one copy a day."

Asuna said with a smile.

80 Ruthless Task Dispatcher

Kayaba Akihiko: "..."

Why does what you said sound so similar to the NPCs in my game who issue quests to players?

One copy a day. The information I have compiled for you includes more than twenty important officials, not to mention those minor officials.

And what about their night raids?

They come out late at night to fight with others every day, and when the mission is completed and they return to their base, they don’t know what time it is.

Stay up late every day to "work", and then get up during the day to exercise to maintain the operation of the base. In addition, it is said that there are only two or three people in the crowdfunding group No. 5 No. 6 No. 7 No. 8 No. 9 No. 0 for the night raid...

You're doing this one a day, maybe you want to overwork them to death.
