"Don't chase her, let her go. Now that the base has been discovered, let's lure the hunters here and set up an ambush."
Lubbock pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat hesitant.
But then I thought, letting her go back wouldn't have much of an impact. Even if the BOSS didn't agree with Hao Yun's plan, Night Raid would still have to move.
They changed bases, but the other side still couldn't find them.
The two returned to the base, where the cyborg army had been dealt with by Susanoo, and everyone had been settled.
After taking the antidote, everyone quickly recovered.
“BOSS, the intruder is Dr. Fashion, a member of the Hunters, but strangely, he didn’t bring any other people with him.”
"Dr. Fashion has been killed by Hao Yun, but Hao Yun released one cyborg."
With Lubbock's explanation, everyone's attention focused on Hao Yun.
“Don’t look at me. I’m just too lazy to move. Anyway, we’re going to have a big battle with the hunters sooner or later. In that case, we might as well lure them here and wipe them out in one fell swoop.”
Chapter 383 Operation Begins
Najendan obtained some information from Lan, but this information was of no use to the night raid plan.
At the Imperial Capital Hunter Base, Esdeath looked at the three remaining members with a somewhat grim expression.
"Where's Lan? Hasn't she come back yet?"
Will, the wielder of the Imperial Arms Noble Chariot, showed a trace of sorrow on his face.
"No, I'm afraid he's already in danger."
"Set off to quell the night raid!"
Esdeath exuded a chill as she abruptly stood up and walked towards the door.
"If we go there rashly, we might encounter an ambush."
Will wanted to say something more, but he was quickly intimidated by Esdeath's murderous aura.
"Set off!"
The hunter squad was dispatched, accompanied by Esdeath's three beast warriors.
As for ordinary soldiers, Esdeath didn't bring any of them, because bringing them along would only cause trouble and serve no other purpose.
The night raid team's base is located in a primeval forest inhabited by dangerous species; ordinary soldiers entering would only slow down their march.
News of Esdeath's departure from the capital with her hunter squad quickly reached Minister Ernest's ears.
"It's unbelievable that even Esdeath suffered a loss."
Soon, a young man standing next to the minister spoke up, "Father, I think it would be better to let me go. I've also formed a squad of Imperial Arms users."
This person was none other than the minister's son, Shira, who had just returned to the capital two days ago, accompanied by a squad of Imperial Arms users.
The team consists of five members, all of whom are infamous Imperial Arms users.
"No rush. Let Esdeath test the waters first. If she can't handle Night Raid, then you can make your move."
"All right."
Sheila was slightly displeased, but didn't say anything more.
By this time, the hunter team had already entered the primeval jungle.
"Everyone be careful to avoid being ambushed at night."
Will, the wielder of the Imperial Arms of the Noble Chariot, couldn't help but remind his team members, who were behaving carelessly, after entering the forest.
"Don't worry, we've only just entered the forest. Even if a night raid were to set up an ambush, they wouldn't do it here."
The petite of the three beastmen, Little Cat, casually replied that he thought Will was too timid.
"Are you scared?"
Will took a deep breath, ignored the kitten, and strode forward to clear the way.
Esdeath, who was walking in the middle of the group, suddenly stopped and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"interesting."
"Sir, have you discovered something?"
When Riva, the leader of the Three Beast Warriors, saw Esdeath stop, he couldn't help but ask her a question.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
A dense rain of arrows was fired from the dense forest.
After the rain of arrows, neither the hunter squad nor the three beastmen suffered any damage.
We're all Teigu users, how could we possibly be hurt by a volley of arrows?
"Three hundred meters to the northeast, should we go and bring it back?"
Kurohime, a member of the hunter squad, looked expressionlessly into the dense forest and turned to ask.
"Go."
Esdeath nodded and continued walking forward.
"My lord, it's not a good idea to send Kurohime to track them down. It's very likely that the enemy is intentionally trying to divide our forces so that we can defeat them one by one."
Will finally couldn't hold back any longer. The other party's intentions were so obvious, why would Esdeath still fall for it?
"Hey! Kid, the lady has her reasons for doing this. Get to the back!"
Daidas, one of the three beastmen wielding a giant axe, grabbed Will by the collar and casually tossed him to the back of the group.
"Sir, I'll go clear the way!"
The battle maniac Daidas couldn't resist the urge to fight when he saw the enemy appear.
Esdeath nodded slightly, and Daidas excitedly rushed out, wielding his giant axe to clear a path.
The column had not moved forward for long when a rumbling sound came from afar.
Kurome, who went out to track down Akame, is currently fighting her.
"Sister, it's been a long time."
"Join me in the night raid."
The two expressionless sisters exchanged a glance, then drew their knives and began to fight.
The two men were ruthless, each one capable of killing the other.
"My dear sister, I never expected that you, a top student, would join the rebels. After all these years, don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Kurohime took a step back, and the Imperial Arms Hachifusa in her hand flashed. A girl wielding dual pistols appeared beside her.
A young man also appeared with the girl.
Upon seeing this young man, Akame's expression changed.
"Natara!"
"I didn't expect you to still remember his name."
Black Eyes revealed a sweet smile and commanded the young man to attack Red Eyes.
"Why?"
Red eyes flickered, revealing a hint of emotional fluctuation.
"Why? Of course it's because he's too weak, isn't it? If I weren't too weak, I wouldn't have been separated from you, my elder sister."
Their conversation reached the ears of Hao Yun and Tatsumi in the forest.
"Are they really sisters?"
Tatsumi was confused and couldn't understand why the two sisters were fighting so desperately.
"That's right, they are sisters."
Hao Yun sighed. This world is really chaotic; it's full of troubled teenagers and troubled girls.
"Since you're sisters, there's no need to fight to the death, is there?"
After Tatsumi finished speaking, he rushed out, but Hao Yun reached out to stop him.
Do you think you can stop them?
"We can't just watch them all die together!"
Tatsumi became somewhat agitated, shook off Hao Yun's hand, and entered the battlefield.
"I didn't expect there to be an ambush."
Kuroko glanced at Tatsumi, and there were three more people beside her, plus a dangerous frog.
One of the puppets summoned by Teigu Hachifusa, dressed as a bodyguard, quickly protected Kurome.
The remaining two, one of whom was draped in rags and whose face was obscured, and whose movements were erratic, intercepted Tatsumi.
"Stop hiding, I've already seen you."
The puppet wielding a long whip was an imperial general in life, belonging to the conscience faction, and a colleague of Najendan.
Najendan defected, and the conscience faction in the army was purged; it was during this time that he lost his life.
"Actually, I'm just here to watch the show. Why bother with fighting and killing? Let's sit down and have a good chat instead."
With their hiding place exposed, Hao Yun walked out confidently, carrying a sickle.
The puppet glanced at Hao Yun, then brandished a long whip covered in thorns, aiming directly at Hao Yun's neck.
"This is really troublesome."
Hao Yun gripped the sickle with one hand, swung it around in front of him, and pushed away the long whip.
"Are they your new teammates? They don't seem to be very strong."
Kuroko glanced at Tatsumi and Hao Yun, but didn't seem to care much.
