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

82 No Comparison

Night attack on the base.

With the piercing sound of an alarm bell, Leone threw off the blanket while cursing.

After putting on a piece of clothing casually, she walked out of the room with a gloomy face.

The same scene was played out in other rooms one after another.

"Tell me, who are we going to assassinate tonight?!"

In the conference room, a group of people with dark circles under their eyes walked in one after another.

But the expression on his face is basically the same as Leone's.

I was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep, and this has been going on for nearly a week. Even people who don't have a bad temper when waking up can't feel good.

What's more, they had just experienced a very intense battle last night (for Tatsumi), so they naturally cherished this rare rest time.

But what they (Tatsumi) didn't expect was that they slept even less today than yesterday.

He couldn't help but yawn.

"ah----!!!"

However, just as he was halfway through the fight, Leona's terrifying gaze suddenly fell on him, scaring him so much that he quickly shut up.

"Esdeath, it's coming."

With a heavy face, Labock pushed the document in his hand to the center of the conference table and said something shocking.

"what?!"

Brand's face changed, and he quickly stood up, picked up the file that Lubbock pushed over, and quickly flipped through it.

"Is this true?!" Leone's expression changed. He stood up suddenly, walked behind Brand, leaned over, and started looking at the document together.

"Ace... Des?" Xier looked at Brand and Leone, whose faces changed drastically, with a confused look on her face, wondering why they were so nervous after hearing this name.

"Who is that?"

Tatsumi was also confused. Although he had completed many tasks with the night raiders these days, he still had only a vague understanding of the division of forces within the empire, not to mention Esdeath, who had been suppressed in the southern part of the empire for many years.

After all, the northern and western parts of the empire have been completely under Asuna's control, and without harassment from foreign races and western kingdoms, the empire has no good reason to continue sending troops there.

More importantly, that place has become an iron barrel built by Asuna, and with those masked legions that can inexplicably change a person's will, the Empire dares not send troops there to support Asuna.

They sent their own army over there in an attempt to fight for control of the North, but Asuna just sent her own masked army over there!

After a few weeks, most of the people originally sent by the empire "surrendered" inexplicably.

Not only did I not gain any profit from it, but I also lost some of my troops. What else can I do?

Since we can't fight, all we can do is to stop the loss as much as possible.

Therefore, with the northern and western parts of the empire stable, the rebels within the empire and the ethnic minorities in the southern part of the empire became their primary targets.

And Esdeath, under such circumstances, quickly rose to become the new representative of the military.

However, if she defeats the southern barbarians and the domestic rebels, then there may not be much fun left for her. So while Esdeath abuses and humiliates the enemies, she will also let go of a large number of their manpower, allowing them to find opportunities to regroup and seek revenge on her.

At that time, a new round of the game will begin for Esdeath.

There is no other way. The only wars in the empire now are within the country and in the southern part of the empire. If I don’t “play sparingly”, won’t I be very bored in the future?

However, although Esdeath is famous, she is only known to everyone in the southern region of the empire. In other regions, their impression of the new forces in the imperial military is still only Asuna.

After all, Asuna has been active on the battlefield too early, and even the legion under her command is well-known. Compared to Esdeath, who has been staying in the south to "play", Asuna is a nationally renowned figure.

It is normal for Tatsumi, a novice boy who just came out of his village, not to know Esdeath's situation.

On the side, Brand and Leone frowned as they looked at the documents in their hands. Seeing this, Chi Tong took the initiative to speak: "A great general of the empire."

After saying this, Akame closed her mouth and sat there quietly as usual, like a virtuous girl.

Tatsumi blinked and asked, "And then?"

Akahime thought about it, then added: "Very impressive!"

Tatsumi: “…”

Well, it turns out you didn’t know either.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to be so nervous. No matter how powerful she is, she is just one person!" Marin put her hands on her waist and said confidently, "As long as we all fight together, even that Esdeath will definitely be defeated by us!"

"Is that right?"

Tatsumi looked at his eldest brother and found that Brand's expression was still very solemn.

"We're in trouble."

Brand raised his head, put the documents in his hand on the table, and said this.

"Huh?" Maine looked at Brand in surprise.

"That person is definitely not someone we can handle alone. If you encounter her in the future, run away as soon as possible."

Leone sat down in his seat and said to Myne, "When that woman became the great general of the empire, she came to the empire once, and I also saw her from afar at that time..."

Thinking back to the original scene, Leone still felt a little scared.

Because the aura of Esdeath is not something that a simple general can achieve, but rather an invisible suppression that is formed unconsciously after experiencing countless killings.

You know, Najeshita was once a general of the empire, but even so, the murderous aura she possessed could not be compared with Esdeath.

and……

The reason why Najshita uses prosthetic limbs is also because of Esdeath.

It can be said that the boss and Esdeath are old rivals.

"So, how does it compare to that masked man?"

Tatsumi, who had never met Asuna before, asked curiously.

“This…” Leone shook his head, a trace of deep fear flashed in his eyes, “There is no comparison.”

"Oh?" This time, even Brand became curious.

"how to say……"

Lubbock scratched his head and said distressedly:

"The impression given to us by that masked general seems to be no different from that of an ordinary person..."

"But..."

"If that person hadn't shown up on his own initiative, we wouldn't even have noticed her presence."

83 I...

Everyone present was shocked when they heard what Lubbock said.

Oh, except for Tatsumi who has no deep understanding of Leone's strength and Seele who is a natural idiot.

You know, Leone's imperial weapon not only gave him powerful physical abilities, but also his perception was far superior to everyone present.

After all, that is the wild instinct of wild beasts.

When Leone glanced at Esdeath from a distance across the crowd, she was discovered by her, and the shock she brought to her was also extremely powerful!

That kind of fear lingered. Even now, several years later, when Leone learned that Esdeath was about to return to the imperial capital, she still felt deeply wary.

During these days, no matter when Asuna appeared in front of him, unless she showed up on her own initiative, Leone had not sensed any trace of Asuna's presence before that.

Sometimes, even though Leona knew that Asuna was sitting in front of her, when she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep and used all her senses, she still could not sense Asuna sitting in front of her at all.

In her perception, there were only herself and Lubbock in this small room, and there was no third person at all.

However, when she opened her eyes, Asuna's figure appeared in front of her, as if her previous perception was useless, like a dream.

Although Lubbock's imperial weapon cannot directly sense the existence of certain people like Leone, it uses the extremely tough and undetectable silk threads to set traps, warning devices, etc., which is very concealed.

He is like a spider weaving a giant web. He only needs to wait for the "prey" to take the bait, and he can easily find out where the other party fell into his trap, and thus know the other party's exact location.

Although his imperial weapon was just a ball of silk thread, he was not weak at all in battle. After all, he was an imperial weapon user, so how could he be weak?

How could a weakling be recognized by the emperor?

So don’t be fooled by Lubbock’s frail appearance. He is actually very strong in combat and can easily defeat the strong with the weak.

However, even the alarm he set up with his own silk threads was not triggered at all when Asuna passed by, so that he had no idea when Asuna appeared from the intersection of the alley and knocked on the door of their base.

However, habit is a very powerful force. Over time, they attributed it to Asuna's powerful strength.

The reason why I forgot to tell my companions about this...

Maybe... it was because I worked overtime too late every day and finally forgot to say it.

That’s right, it’s all that damn mask’s fault!

Leone unceremoniously put the blame on Asuna in her heart. With a serious expression on her face, she nodded: "Yes, I didn't sense her presence at all. That masked person is not on the same level as Esdeath!"

Leone said the above words with a serious face.

"..."

"..."

The scene fell into deep silence for a while.

And everyone's emotions also spread out.

Brand stroked his chin, his eyes vaguely trying to look in the direction of Chitong.

"If it's Akame... with her imperial weapon's power..."

Although Marin looked heavy on the surface, she was secretly happy in her heart.

"If that's the case, then isn't it not far from the complete liberation of the empire?"

Xier still looked confused.

"What are they... talking about? It seems so profound... Hmm..."

Chi Tong opened and clenched his slender white hands repeatedly. Those soft and boneless hands contained extremely terrifying power.

"Bury..."

Tatsumi: “…”

What should I do? The expressions on their faces are so heavy!

Isn't that mask one of our own? !

Wait, just because she exploits our labor force, she is not a good person!

But... forget it, I'll just pretend to be serious too!

After thinking about this, the most inexperienced member of the Night Raid frowned and pretended to think about what to make for dinner tonight.

"Anyway, let's pass this message to the Revolutionary Army first."

Brand looked up.

As a former imperial soldier, he decided to ask for help without hesitation.

After all, Esdeath is coming!

The number of people they have may not be enough to fight for a few rounds. What are they waiting for if they don't quickly ask their backers for help? !

"We have to notify the boss to come back quickly."

Leone added: "These days, everyone strives to adjust their conditions to the best condition."

"Besides, the masked man won't continue to give us new information these days, so everyone should have a good rest and try to be in the best condition to deal with Esdeath's attack!"

boom!

"Leone is right!"

Brand slammed the table, stood up, put his arm around Tatsumi's shoulders, and said excitedly:

"You can't spend your rare rest time in bed!"
