With a loud shout, Brand swung his spear, creating a gust of wind.
The spear crashed to the ground like a cannonball, leaving a large crater.
So strong!
Hao Yun licked his lips, suddenly feeling a longing for the Imperial Arms. If he used Demon Possession, he would probably be even stronger than Brand.
Distraction during battle is a major taboo, and Brand seized this opportunity to launch a swift attack.
As the spear swept across, Hao Yun raised his arms to block.
Bang!
After the muffled thud, Hao Yun's legs left two furrows in the ground.
"That's enough, stop now."
Upon returning to the base, the BOSS saw that the battle between the two sides was becoming increasingly intense and came out to stop them from continuing to fight.
Najendan glanced at Hao Yun, recalling what Brand had told her yesterday.
It seems I'll have to take Hao Yun to the Revolutionary Army camp to see if I can find him a suitable Imperial Arm.
"BOSS".
Brand released the Teigu demon from its possession and nodded with a smile.
The others also gathered around, and Najenda glanced at them and spoke.
"I'm going back to the Revolutionary Army camp. During my absence, Akame will handle all matters related to the base."
Akame nodded after listening, indicating that she understood.
"The capital is under martial law recently, so you should all keep a low profile and use your free time to hone your skills."
As she said this, Najenda glanced at Hao Yun.
The people present felt somewhat awkward, as they had rarely trained since obtaining the Imperial Arms.
"Hao Yun, you're coming with me. As for you..."
Najenda glanced at Tatsumi and decided to hand him over to Akame.
"Akame, he's in your hands. If he's not suitable to stay, send him to the Revolutionary Army base in the rear."
"yes."
Akame responded.
"Everyone, disperse. Hao Yun, come with me."
Najendan walked toward the open space, where a carriage had been waiting for a long time.
Upon returning to the Revolutionary Army camp, Najendan had many matters to attend to. First, she needed to report on the recent night raids, and second, she needed to request assistance.
The Night Raid Squad still has too few members; they are barely managing to establish themselves in the capital.
"Boss, shall we set off now?"
Following behind Najendan, Hao Yun still couldn't figure out why she was being taken along. Was it because she was attracted to his good looks?
"Yes, time is of the essence. Brand came to me yesterday and wanted me to find you an Imperial Arm."
Najendan pushed Hao Yun into the carriage and then followed.
The person in charge of driving the carriage was a member of the revolutionary army. He drove away expressionlessly, appearing quite silent.
"Teigu?"
Hao Yun felt a warmth in his heart, never expecting that his older brother would actually tell the BOSS about this.
"That's right. There are still a few Imperial Arms that no one is using in the Revolutionary Army. I'll take you back to try them out. If you can get one, your strength will increase significantly."
Najendan's expression was serious; she was well aware of the Revolutionary Army's current predicament.
The revolutionary army lacked top-tier fighters, so they suffered crushing defeats every time they clashed with the imperial army.
The reason for the crushing defeat was that the imperial high command possessed a number of Imperial Arms users.
The Imperial Arms users can play a significant role in war.
Firstly, the soldiers on the side without Imperial Arms users will be intimidated, while the side with Imperial Arms users can basically defeat the enemy with a single charge.
An army with low morale is bound to be defeated.
"Does the Revolutionary Army have many Imperial Arms behind their lines?"
Hao Yun couldn't help but ask, "When I watched the anime, there were only about a dozen Imperial Arms that actually appeared."
There are 48 Imperial Arms, but Hao Yun has no idea what the remaining Imperial Arms are.
"You're dreaming. Most Imperial Arms are in the hands of the Empire; very few actually end up in the hands of ordinary people."
Najenda rolled her eyes. Imperial Arms aren't like cabbages; the Revolutionary Army only got seven or eight of them.
"Once we get to the Revolutionary Army camp, keep your mouth shut and don't say anything out of line. I'll take you to choose your Teigu. Whether you get chosen depends on your luck."
Silence fell over the carriage. Najendan leaned against the carriage wall with her eyes closed, seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing this, Hao Yun didn't want to disturb him, so he could only sit cross-legged and cultivate. As for the Imperial Arms, he would deal with that when he saw them.
During the journey, they changed carriages several times and it took eight days to finally reach the revolutionary army camp.
If Najendan hadn't said it was a revolutionary army camp, Hao Yun would have suspected it was a refugee camp.
The revolutionary army consisted mostly of civilians carrying kitchen knives and wooden sticks, and their ages varied.
The campsite was in a mess, and the camping was chaotic.
"This is the revolutionary army?"
Hao Yun was very surprised. This kind of army, which couldn't even be considered a ragtag army, wanted to overthrow the empire. Had the high command of the revolutionary army lost their minds?
Najendan glanced at Hao Yun and sighed helplessly.
This is what the revolutionary army looked like when she left. I never imagined that after so much time, it would still be the same.
In truth, Najenda also had doubts in her heart, namely whether joining the Revolutionary Army was the right decision.
Since the revolutionary army accepted the nobility's allegiance, its internal management has been in chaos.
"Silence. Follow me in a moment and don't say a word."
Hao Yun nodded and shut up.
"General Najendan, we meet again."
A kind-looking old man greeted us with a smile.
"I am no longer a general; I am now just a minor commander in the revolutionary army."
Najendan smiled and followed the old man toward the deepest part of the camp.
Chapter 353 Night Raid on the Revolutionary Army Camp
After some observation, Hao Yun discovered that Najendan didn't seem to be very popular in the revolutionary army.
Even during high-level meetings, some people wanted to remove Najendan's control over the Night Raid squad.
However, such remarks were quickly suppressed by other high-ranking members of the revolutionary army.
After the meeting ended and she returned to the rest area, Najendan sighed.
Hao Yun, who was following behind her, said in a low voice.
"Boss, I think we should start planning our escape route as soon as possible. I don't think the Revolutionary Army's high command cares about the life or death of Night Raid."
"Shut up!"
Najendan snorted coldly, stopped in her tracks, and turned to stare at Hao Yun.
"Night Raid is a member of the Revolutionary Army. I can pretend I didn't hear what you said this time, but if there's a next time, you won't be staying with Night Raid."
Hao Yun nodded, but he still didn't take it seriously.
The Night Raid Squad is an assassination squad. Once the Revolutionary Army truly overthrows the Empire, it will be time for the Night Raid Squad to be eliminated.
The revolutionary army's high command would certainly not want to leave a stain on their record; a night raid would mean certain death.
This attitude was evident at today's meeting; Najendan, the Imperial General who defected to the Revolutionary Army, is now being disregarded entirely.
However, even though it was not taken seriously, the Revolutionary Army's high command still provided some assistance to the night raid.
Upon entering the accommodation area, Najendan arranged for Hao Yun to stay in the room next door.
Since Najendan was considered a semi-high-ranking official, the two of them lived in a fairly decent place.
The house was made of adobe, and there was a stove inside.
Although the house wasn't very big, it was infinitely better than the revolutionary army living in tents outside.
Lifting the bedding, Hao Yun frowned slightly. These sheets and blankets hadn't been changed in a while, had they?
With a gentle pat, dust scatters and flies everywhere.
Squeak
The door was pushed open, and a revolutionary soldier walked in.
"This is dinner, please enjoy your meal."
The soldiers kept a very humble attitude, afraid of offending Hao Yun.
"Okay, put it there."
Hao Yun glanced at him and waved for him to leave.
The sun was about to set, and the room was very dark, with only an oil lamp providing light.
Hao Yun was very suspicious of this. Was the revolutionary army really too poor, or were they deliberately making things difficult for him and Najendan?
As for the food the soldier brought, it was just a bowl of stew with oil floating on top, plus a piece of black bread.
Hao Yun stood there for a moment, thought for a moment, then turned and left the room.
