She subconsciously felt there was a big problem, but she never grasped the key point.
The ministers and their close associates were extremely secretive about the reason, and very few knew the truth.
Najendan could only vaguely guess what the other party was looking for, and even one of the four Rakshasa demons had died in battle on the northern border.
The minister then launched a campaign to suppress the revolutionary army, which seemed to be a sign of his anger and humiliation.
If we knew the key information, we might be able to find fault with the minister.
Unfortunately, the revolutionary army had been developing in the south and its work in the north had not been very successful.
The revolutionary army is currently attempting to capture the minister's close associates in order to uncover the truth.
Berkeley was one of them, but unfortunately he was killed by Yama.
What a bad start!
Najendan sighed.
As Leone brought over a ton of bighead carp, everyone excitedly began to cook it.
Work can be put aside, but meals are a must.
Akame's eyes never left the fish.
As Susanoo cooked it, the fish was quickly transformed into a large dish, which was then divided and eaten by the Night Raid members.
"The food Susan made is really delicious," Leone said with a burp.
"All the fatigue of the day has been swept away." Mine also praised it, this Imperial Arms is really convenient.
"Isn't this fish portion a bit small?" Akame asked, somewhat puzzled; she hadn't even had enough to eat.
Normally, 500 kilograms of fish would be enough for the entire night raid team to have a big meal.
Logically speaking, she should be able to eat until she's stuffed.
Akame couldn't figure out the root of the problem either, and could only remain puzzled.
However, this problem was quickly explained.
“Indeed, one cat is not enough to eat. My cat has become very thin from hunger.”
A startled Akame was startled when a disgruntled, unfamiliar voice sounded beside her.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Imperial Arms Demon Sword Murasame was drawn from its sheath at the waist and aimed at the visitor.
The others also realized what was happening and assumed fighting stances, surrounding the mysterious man with vigilance and suspicion.
The other person didn't seem to care about the tense atmosphere that was about to erupt, and instead fed a piece of fish to the cat in their arms with great interest.
Chelsea kept meowing, trying to resist Yalin's teasing, but still obediently stuck out her tongue and curled it up.
When Ya Yue. Yi "<+ Yi Yi 3 Wu Qi Cuan Lin arrived at the night raid camp, she wanted to remind her teammates.
Unfortunately, it's unclear what kind of sorcery Yalin used, but she was unable to speak.
I could only reluctantly agree to have dinner with Yalin.
Since Yalin hasn't shown any hostility so far, she can't be considered a traitor.
"May I ask who you are and what your purpose is in coming here?" Najenda frowned as she watched Yalin slowly feeding Chelsea.
This ability to conceal her presence terrified her.
If the other party hadn't spoken up, the Night Raid members probably wouldn't have noticed his presence at all.
If the enemy launches a surprise attack during this time, the night raid could suffer heavy losses.
Wait a minute, something that can be done to this extent, and even bears some resemblance to a portrait, could it be...?
"Haven't you been looking for me?" Yalin replied with a smile, his hands still moving.
"I'm here, and you're all unhappy. This kind of attitude is not good."
"So it really is Lord Yama?"
Najendan breathed a sigh of relief and carefully examined Yalin.
The more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, as if I had seen someone before, but I couldn't find any related impressions in my memory.
The other person's handsome appearance is truly astonishing; if one had actually seen him, it would be impossible to forget him.
"General, do you have a bad memory? Can't you remember?"
Yalin was speechless. He had met Najendan once at a court banquet hosted by the previous emperor.
Back then, he hadn't awakened his memories and was still young. He wasn't outstanding among the princes, a stark contrast to his current appearance, so it's understandable that he wasn't recognized.
As for the ministers secretly killing the other princes and allowing the young emperor to ascend the throne, that's another story.
Although Yalin narrowly escaped death, he was, in effect, a dead man.
He then went into hiding in various places, growing up amidst the repeated secret pursuits of ministers.
The information concerned the escaped prince was top secret and could not be made public.
The assassins could only briefly glance at the portraits and memorize their appearances when given a mission, in order to avoid causing trouble unnecessarily.
If the plan succeeds, unless it involves a direct descendant like the Four Demon Rakshasa, silencing them would be perfectly justified.
The ministers are very knowledgeable in this regard.
The revolutionary army only truly grew in strength during this period, and its intelligence capabilities were severely lacking.
It's normal that Najenda didn't recognize him under these circumstances.
"Excuse me, may I ask who you are?" Najenda asked directly.
"There is something more important than reuniting with old friends."
Yalin did not answer her question, but instead watched the entire Night Raid team with great interest.
Amidst the doubtful and wary gazes of the crowd, he extended an invitation directly.
"Gentlemen, the revolutionary army has no future. Why not switch sides and join my ranks?"
The entire camp fell silent instantly upon hearing this, and everyone stared at this madman, finding it utterly outrageous.
Najendan was the most shocked and distressed.
This guy actually poached people right in front of her; he's really shameless.
"Your Majesty, this joke is not funny."
“This is no joke,” Yalin said casually.
"Besides, what we're doing isn't that different. The revolutionary army is here to invite me to join them, isn't it? In that case, it's just a matter of reversing the priorities."
Holding back the restless crowd who were about to make a move, Najenda frowned and asked, "What is your purpose?"
"I will execute the ministers by a thousand cuts, force the emperor to abdicate, and burn the empire to ashes in my hands, so that it may be reborn from the ashes," Yalin said calmly.
Once he had enough strength, he always did whatever he wanted.
Even if we tell them the real purpose of the night raid, what then?
"You want to become the new emperor?" Najendan pondered for a moment, understanding the meaning behind his words, and thought that this person was probably still half asleep.
This is a thousand-year-old empire; even though it is gradually decaying, it is still an absolute behemoth.
It is not something that an individual can change; one must accumulate enough strength and risk everything to have even the slightest possibility.
Yalin's explanation was no different from hysteria in Night Raid's eyes.
Najenda smiled and, considering Yalin's strength, patiently continued to persuade him.
"It is absolutely impossible to destroy an empire single-handedly."
Or is it that you have secretly developed your own power and are poised to rise to power?
She acknowledged that Yalin was quite capable, but it was unrealistic for him to overthrow the empire single-handedly.
Even the revolutionary army had to develop stealthily for a while, uniting with many frustrated officials and secretly infiltrating the army before they had the confidence to overthrow the empire.
Even so, the chances of success are still not high, and it is necessary to continue to lie low.
"Developing on your own is too much trouble."
Yalin watched Najendan's smile and smiled back. "I prefer using what's readily available."
"So, I'll be starting a night raid organization."
Instead of going through all the trouble ourselves, since the revolutionary army has already formed the Night Raid team, wouldn't it be more convenient to just rob them and use them ourselves?
Najendan's smile vanished instantly, and she confirmed it one last time.
"Are you serious?"
“General, you are also a rare talent. Why don’t you join my ranks?” Yalin extended the same invitation to the former imperial general.
The cat in his arms gasped, and Chelsea was a little confused by the conversation.
This master... ugh, this Yama is far too delusional. He dares to spout such nonsense in front of so many Imperial Arms users.
Chelsea struggled to distance herself from Yalin Justice; she didn't want to be beaten along with him.
Najendan sighed upon hearing this, feeling exhausted, and waved for the other members to take good care of Yarin.
It is said that Yama is ruthless, but it is not mentioned that he is actually so insane.
It seems we need to wake him up first before we can discuss serious matters.
Seven to one, the advantage is mine.
Unless her opponent is a monster of Esdeath's caliber, she doesn't know how she could possibly lose.
Volume 1: Chapter 59: Crushing and Subduing (4k)
Facing the menacing Night Raid members, Yalin's expression remained unchanged.
He's not good at persuading others with words; ultimately, he has to rely on his abilities.
He temporarily set Chelsea aside, letting her run to Najendan's vicinity, while drawing his long sword with his right hand.
"Since everyone is so interested, let's get to know each other better. I'd also like to see the capabilities of my future subordinates."
