Arriving at the next room, Hao Yun knocked on the door.
"Boss, may I come in?"
"Come in."
Najendan's voice came from inside the house, and Hao Yun pushed open the door and went in.
After looking around, he found that the furnishings inside were exactly the same as his own, both equally poor and shabby.
"Boss, is the Revolutionary Army really that poor?"
Hao Yun glanced at the food on the table; it was also just plain water.
"Otherwise, as you saw when you came in, there are still hundreds of thousands of people to feed, and the natural conditions are much worse than those at the base."
After listening to Najendan's words, Hao Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This isn't just a little different, it's worlds apart."
However, Hao Yun only thought about these things and did not say them aloud.
"If there's nothing else, go back and rest. Tomorrow morning I'll take you to choose your Imperial Arms, and then at noon we'll escort the supplies back to Night Raid."
What happened at today's meeting made Najendan feel somewhat uncomfortable, so she didn't plan to stay here any longer.
"Okay, then I'll head back."
After leaving Najendan's residence, Hao Yun did not return to his room, but instead wandered around the camp.
After looking around, Hao Yun became increasingly puzzled.
The soldiers brought him and Najendan dinner, which was the same food they ate. Hao Yun didn't believe that the high-ranking officers would eat such things.
With a quick glance around, Hao Yun bypassed the guards and quietly sneaked into the high-rise residential area.
Because it was just getting dark and the moon hadn't risen yet, the campsite was pitch black.
The torches used for lighting don't provide much illumination at all.
After climbing over a low wall, Hao Yun slipped into a rather luxurious-looking residence.
Lurking in the darkness, Hao Yun reached the window.
"Najendan has come back asking for supplies. How much should we give her?"
“Give her one-tenth of the items on the list, and if she complains, tell her that the revolutionary army is also having a hard time right now.”
"Your Excellency is truly brilliant!"
Hao Yun, who was peeking out the window, glanced at the person speaking and sneered. Sure enough, the revolutionary army couldn't be relied on either.
There were three people sitting inside. All three were high-ranking members of the revolutionary army, whom Hao Yun had met at today's meeting.
One of them was the person who proposed removing Najendan from her position.
As for the other two, they were no good either. One was the old man who had warmly received him and Najendan today.
The other is the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, who openly expresses support for Najendan.
Looking at the table for the three of them, it was full of big fish and meat dishes, and they were accompanied by beautiful concubines.
In this situation, Hao Yun really wanted to bring Najenda over to take a look.
Who are you?!
A cold, sinister voice came from behind Hao Yun.
Hao Yun turned his head and saw a man dressed like an Indian standing not far away, staring at him.
"And who are you?"
Hao Yun's question made the man laugh.
"You dare to sneak into the camp at night when you don't even know me?"
The noise outside alerted the people inside, who got up and came out to check.
Hao Yun felt he should leave; if he remained stuck here, it would likely affect Najendan.
Without saying a word, Hao Yun stepped back and turned to leave the courtyard.
"Trying to run? Grab him!"
Indian A-San shouted, and the patrolling soldiers gathered around, ready to arrest Hao Yun.
"Is it an assassin?"
The Revolutionary Army's second-in-command looked at Dophaine, the Teigu user, in the courtyard.
"I don't know, but even if he's not an assassin, he's a spy. Once we catch him, we'll know everything."
Dove gave a sinister smile and followed the soldiers out.
The pursuing force continued to grow, causing Hao Yun, who was on the run, a lot of trouble.
"Ugh, this is so annoying. I should have killed that Indian guy first."
With more and more pursuers, Hao Yun sneaked into the camp, causing chaos within.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Hao Yun took off his coat and casually threw it into the campfire.
"People are running that way!"
The pursuing soldiers ran around in a chaotic mess, and the ragtag troops, unaware of what was happening, also came out to watch the spectacle.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Hao Yun returned to his residence and peered out the window at the people running around outside.
They soon realized they had lost track of the unidentified person, who had disappeared into the camp.
"What a bunch of useless trash."
Dofen, the user of the Imperial Arms, stood in the center of the guard, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
"If you can't even handle this small matter, and there's a next time, you'll all be dead!"
As they were talking, Dove grabbed a soldier by the neck.
With a sharp crack, the soldier fell silent, and the others were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
"Go back to patrolling, increase the intensity of patrols, and get out of here."
The riots came and went quickly; seeing there was no excitement to be had, the ragtag troops returned to their tents to rest early.
Dove stood in the camp and muttered to himself.
"You're lucky this time. If there's a next time, I'll tear you to pieces."
Chapter 354 Strange Things
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Najenda brought Hao Yun to the warehouse to select Imperial Arms.
"General Najendan, you need supplies, but I can only provide a portion. You've seen the current situation of the Revolutionary Army, and I'm willing but unable to help."
The speaker was the old man who had received the two yesterday. He walked beside Najendan with a smile and explained in detail the difficulties within the Revolutionary Army.
Najendan sighed helplessly; it was common knowledge that the Revolutionary Army was poor.
"Okay, I'll figure out the rest myself."
The old man chuckled, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"I'm so glad you understand. Although the supplies are a bit limited, we've decided to compensate you with a domesticated flying dangerous species."
"real!"
Najendan was shocked, knowing that taming dangerous species was no simple task; it required a great deal of financial and human resources.
"Of course, you can use it to transport supplies when you leave."
A hint of pain appeared on the old man's face. In fact, he didn't want to give it to the horse at all, but he had no choice. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it.
Currently, within the Revolutionary Army, there is a Teigu user whose Teigu is capable of feeding and taming Dangerous Species. Therefore, a tamed Flying Dangerous Species is not too valuable.
Even so, the old man had to pretend to be in pain to show his attitude and let Najendan know that the Revolutionary Army thought highly of her.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Najendan nodded solemnly, indicating that she would carry out the tasks assigned to her by the Revolutionary Army in the future.
Hao Yun, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, couldn't help but sneer inwardly. These high-ranking members of the revolutionary army were truly masters of political maneuvering.
Led by the old man, the two passed through layers of guards and arrived at the most heavily guarded room in the warehouse.
"The Imperial Arms are inside. You can try to find a matching Imperial Arms."
The Revolutionary Army's high command didn't value Imperial Arms too much, since not just anyone could use them.
There's no harm in giving it a try. If you can activate it and bribe it a little, it will become a powerful henchman.
After verifying their identities, the room door was opened by soldiers.
As soon as she entered, Najenda was taken aback, because she sensed an invisible force beckoning her.
Could it be that any of the Imperial Arms here are comparable to mine?
Looking in the direction that called out to him, he saw a humanoid Imperial Arm standing in the corner of the warehouse.
Click, click-click.
Suddenly, the humanoid Teigu opened its eyes, moved its limbs, and turned to look at Najenda.
"Owner."
The humanoid Imperial Arms instantly appeared in front of Najenda, kneeling on one knee.
Hao Yun, standing to the side, was speechless. This Imperial Arm was too shameless; it had already recognized a master.
Congratulations!
The old man beside him smiled and offered his congratulations, while pondering how to win over Najendan.
The revolutionary army was not a monolithic entity; it was divided into several factions.
Someone like Najenda, who was once a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Army, has now activated her Imperial Arms and controls a highly powerful assassination squad, is someone everyone wants to recruit to their side.
"Susanoo, huh? He looks pretty good."
