Najendan muttered something and turned to look at Hao Yun.
"Why don't you give it a try and see if there's any Imperial Arm that can rival yours?"
The old man glanced at Hao Yun and then ignored him. Gaining the approval of the Imperial Arms was no easy task.
Of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Revolutionary Army, only three have actually activated their Imperial Arms.
No, there are four now, plus Najenda.
“Najendan, you can actually leave the assassination squad now and go back to the rear. There are very few people in the Revolutionary Army with military experience like you. We need a general who can fight and win.”
Najendan shook her head with a wry smile, because her own experiences made her unwilling to lead an army into battle.
If it weren't for this reason, she wouldn't have gone inside the Empire to form a night raid squad.
During their conversation, Hao Yun began selecting Imperial Arms.
There were very few Imperial Arms in the warehouse, only five.
These five Imperial Arms come in all sorts of bizarre shapes: an eye patch, a mask, nunchucks, a hammer, and a scythe.
After a brief observation, Hao Yun did not sense the summoning of the Imperial Arms.
"Don't they all match?"
Muttering to himself, Hao Yun casually picked up the mask on the table. Hmm... it was ugly, and it didn't react.
After putting down his mask, Hao Yun casually picked up the nearest sickle.
Why?
The moment I picked up the sickle, a feeling of blood connection washed over me, as if the sickle were an extension of my own arm.
Does this mean that the Imperial Arms has recognized this?
This scythe has a cool design, just like the Grim Reaper's scythe. The handle is about 1.6 meters long, and the huge blade is longer than a normal curved sword.
With a casual flick of his wrist, a crimson ripple emanated from the blade.
The ripples fell on the wall, silently creating a crack in it.
The two people who were talking nearby immediately stopped talking.
"It has gained the approval of the Imperial Arms, which is very good."
Najenda was in a good mood. She felt that her trip to the rear had paid off, as the Night Raid Squad had suddenly gained two more Teigu users.
The old man beside him squinted, his mind filled with thoughts. The Night Raid Squad originally had five Imperial Arms users, and now there were two more.
There are only three Teigu users in the Revolutionary Army's rear. If Najenda develops other ideas or is recruited by the Empire, the Revolutionary Army will be in danger.
Regardless of his true feelings, the old man still smiled and congratulated him.
"It's almost time. I need to return to the front lines. Once I get back, I will do my best to assassinate the Imperial General and his ministers."
Najenda wasn't stupid; she knew that the power she currently wielded was too great, so she extended her goodwill.
"Haha, then I wish you every success."
The old man smiled and saw the two off.
Upon arriving at the open space where the flying dangerous species were parked, the supplies had already been placed on the back of the dangerous species.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Najendan took Hao Yun and departed in a dangerous flying vehicle.
"Boss, don't you think that old man's smile looks a bit fake?"
Hao Yun fiddled with the Imperial Arm he had just acquired, preparing to subtly probe the matter.
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I used to be a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Army, and now I'm in charge of the Night Raid Squad. It's normal to be suspected."
Najenda sat cross-legged on the back of the flying dangerous creature, gazing into the distance. In truth, she had long known about the sordid affairs within the Revolutionary Army, but she had no way of speaking about them.
Hao Yun glanced at her, too lazy to meddle, and then lowered his head to observe the dangerous creature.
The flying dangerous creature the two were riding was like a stingray in the water—large in size, capable of carrying heavy loads, and with a stable flight speed.
As for strength, it's terrible. If he were to fight someone, he could easily kill a second-rate expert.
"I never expected that the Revolutionary Army would give us flying mounts."
Hao Yun muttered something to himself, then looked at Najenda's Teigu, Susanoo.
This humanoid Imperial Arm is very powerful, both in terms of strength and practicality.
Susanoo is an all-rounder in housework and also has strong combat abilities. His only drawback is that in order to unleash his full power, the user must contribute enough of his life force.
Hao Yun shook his head, looking at his Imperial Arms, the scythe, which seemed rather strange.
After obtaining the Imperial Arm, its name appeared in my mind. The ability of this Imperial Arm is to emit red ripples, which are very lethal. As for whether it has any hidden abilities, it is not yet certain.
Chapter 355 Beheading Zank
During the time that BOSS Najenda and Hao Yun were away from the Night Raid Squad's base, Night Raid continued to do what it always did.
Tatsumi has now joined Night Raid and is training with his older brother.
The battle between Hao Yun and his older brother some time ago made Tatsumi realize that his strength was still very weak, which was why his friend died.
If one is strong enough, one will not be separated from the group during a bandit attack after setting out.
If they hadn't been separated, they wouldn't have been tormented to death by the nobles.
With this motivation in mind, Tatsumi trained exceptionally hard.
"Go Tatsumi! Swing with all your might! Don't stop!"
Big Brother Brand earnestly pointed out the mistakes in Tatsumi's sword-wielding movements.
Lubbock leaned against the railing and yawned boredly.
"I really admire you guys. One cultivation fanatic left, and now another one has arrived."
Lubbock, who was usually lazy, had no desire to train at all, because he preferred to stay in the rear during battles.
He is a very cautious person and never puts himself in danger. He doesn't want to be like his older brother, who builds up muscles and goes up to fight people hand-to-hand. It's much safer to stay in the back.
"A mission has arrived. Assemble in the lobby."
Akame went to the backyard and informed everyone.
Soon, the squad members gathered in the base's meeting room during the night raid.
"Leone, tell them the information."
Akame, the acting leader of the Night Raid Squad, turned to look at Leone.
Unlike usual, Leone was unusually serious today, and she spoke solemnly to everyone.
"Recently, there have been many murders in the capital, and the victims have all been beheaded. According to the investigation, the murderer is very likely to be the rumored beheading Zank."
"Beheading Zank?"
Tatsumi, who had just joined Night Raid, looked at the others with a puzzled expression.
"Zank to be beheaded? I didn't expect him to come to the capital as well."
Lubbock frowned slightly; he knew a little about this person.
"Yes, that's him. Rumor has it that he's the executioner in the northern prison, specializing in beheadings."
"Because of the minister, many people were imprisoned. Zank, who was an executioner, was chopping people up every day. It is said that he suffered a mental breakdown because of this, which led him to kill the warden, steal the Imperial Arms Five Visions, and kill people everywhere."
Leone gave a detailed account of the information regarding the beheading of Zank, then looked at the others.
“This person is dangerous; I think we should get rid of him.”
Inside the meeting room, the members of the Night Raid team were silent, each with their own thoughts.
The battles between Imperial Arms users are all-out wars, and if a conflict were to occur with Decapitation Zank, one of them would inevitably die.
"The boss is not here, so I am the acting leader. Therefore, I will decide this matter by vote. Everyone, please vote now."
Akame remained calm, knowing that killing and beheading Zank wouldn't do the Night Raid team much good.
In the silence of the crowd, Tatsumi stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted.
“I vote in favor! The beheading of Zank was so brutal; if we don’t catch him soon, more people will be killed.”
The eldest brother, Brand, gave a thumbs up and then voted in favor.
Akame has chosen to abstain, leaving four people who have not yet expressed their opinions.
Under Tazmi's watchful eye, Lubbock raised his hand.
“I don’t care, but killing the head of Zank is not an easy task. His whereabouts are very secretive, and even the Imperial Capital Guard has not found any clues.”
"I also vote in favor."
Leone remained resolute, declaring that the man who beheaded Zank was a madman. In his eyes, whether noble or commoner, anyone he encountered meant only one word: death!
If no one takes care of him, it won't be long before the number of deaths only increases.
"Since you all agree, then kill him."
Mine yawned, not very confident about the event.
The capital city is so big, finding someone who is determined to hide is extremely difficult.
“Since everyone agrees, Leone, you and Lubbock will be in charge of gathering intelligence. Tonight, Brand and I will infiltrate the capital and work with you to find the decapitated Zank.”
Akame made the final decision, and everyone dispersed to go about their own business.
"Akame, I want to participate in tonight's event too."
Tatsumi stood before Akame, his gaze unwavering.
"You're not strong enough."
Akame looked at Tatsumi and replied coldly.
"Even if I can't beat him, I can stall for time until you get here."
Tatsumi was resolute; he didn't want to see innocent people killed, so he wanted to do his part.
