"I'm back."
Esdeath returned to Hunter's office, and there was a subtle look of unhappiness on her face.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
Ryuga looked at Esders and asked. She was keenly aware of the abnormality on her face.
"Yes, His Majesty ordered all the Hunters to go to the east to protect the spies who infiltrated the headquarters of the Serenity Road."
Esders sighed. "Protecting people is not my style at all."
Destroying the enemy's will and body from the front was Esders's style of fighting the most. It was also her favorite style of doing things. She could get the most pleasure from this style of fighting.
Protecting people was not to her liking at all. When the time came, she might be immersed in the joy of fighting and completely forget about protecting people.
"The Serenity Road."
Ryuga nodded thoughtfully.
Did the Empire notice that the Serenity Road had become the center of the storm? The little Emperor did not have that kind of insight. This should be the work of the ministers.
On one hand, the Hunters could protect Bolick from the assassination at night. On the other hand, they could send Ryuga to the Imperial Capital to complete the refining of the Philosopher's Stone in peace. This could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, Earnest is not the only one waiting for the Philosopher's Stone to be refined."
Ryuga pushed up her glasses and hid her thoughts under the light of the glasses.
"Captain."
Selle's figure walked in from the door. Her face was serious and pleasantly surprised. "According to the report, in the Roman Town in the east, suspected figures of Nagata and Akame were found!"
"What?"
Esdeath's eyes suddenly brightened, and a look of expectation for the upcoming hunting appeared on her face. "Interesting, it actually appears in the eastern town at this time … Hum, Liangyi, give the order immediately, all the Hunters are ready to set off!"
"Captain, it's not impossible that this is a trap, right?"
Ryuga looked at Esders in a timely manner and said in a serious tone, "The night raid that has not exposed any traces for a long time was exposed in the Eastern Town of the Empire. Although it is undeniable that the night raid is not well-known outside the Imperial Capital, I think this is the other party deliberately exposing their whereabouts to lure us over. The possibility of them catching us in one fell swoop is higher."
"I understand your concern, Yin-yang."
Esdeath patted Liuxia on the shoulder, but the fighting spirit on her face did not reduce at all. "Najata is indeed a very calm person. Like you, I think that the possibility of this is a trap is relatively high, but we can't let go of the opportunity. It's rare that they are so 'kind' to give us a chance this time. How can we not fight?"
It was as Nagata's prediction.
Esdeath recognized that this was a trap, but she still chose to step into the trap. She was a person who liked to destroy the enemy from the front and never did those unnecessary twists and turns.
"I understand. I will immediately summon all the Hunters."
Ryuga felt helpless and nodded, then she left the office and recalled the team members who were patrolling outside.
Among the Hunters, many things similar to this kind of secretarial work were all done by Ryuga. On the one hand, it was because she had the position of vice-captain. On the other hand, she was one of the few Hunters who had been alone with Esders, so their relationship was slightly closer.
After all the members were summoned, the Hunters were ready to leave from the Eastern Gate of the Imperial Capital and rushed to the Eastern Town of the Empire.
The next morning.
The Hunters came to the street of the town called Rome.
"What? They split into two? "
Everyone got further information from the mouth of the town's guards.
"Yes, Nagata left to the east of the town, and Akame went to the south." The guard replied to several people.
"The possibility of a trap is getting higher and higher."
Not only Ryuga, but even Roland sighed and made such a judgment.
However, none of the people present showed a timid look. Before becoming a special police, everyone here had more or less experienced a bloody storm. They all knew that the Night Raid was not the kind of opponent that could be easily taken down without paying any price. If they wanted to go against the Night Raid, they must be prepared to make sacrifices.
"Let's also split into two."
Esders pondered and then said, "I will go to the East to chase Nagata, and Yin-yang will take people to the South to hunt down Akame. As for the personnel —"
This was also the same as Nagata's prediction.
Because Nagata had the experience of escaping from Esders in the past, compared to Akame, Esders wanted to hunt Nagata more.
She had almost figured out Esdeath's character thoroughly. In this action, this undoubtedly came in the most crucial use.
"Black Pupil, stay with me."
Ryuga proposed to Esders, "With the power of her Teigu, she can deal with it even in the face of a large-scale ambush. Other people, Bols and Will will also follow me. Bols' Teigu is very suitable for many people to fight. Will, like me, is suitable to protect Kurome and form a stable output ability."
"You and I have the same idea."
Esders looked at Ryuga with slight approval, "You may have the talent to lead the army to fight. Then the rest of Cyrus and Roland will go to the east with me. That's the allocation. Time is precious, act immediately!"
"Yes, captain!"
Everyone heard the words and agreed.
… …
On the south side of the town, there was a long canyon.
The canyon was winding and stretched out for more than ten kilometers. The whole place was grayish-red, as if fertilizers were added to the healthy soil, showing the nature of the wilderness.
"Speaking of it, our opponent this time should be Akame of the Night Raid."
Will seemed to have something on his mind all the way. In the end, he couldn't help but look at Kurome, "Kurome, how about I help you deal with Akame?"
After all, he couldn't sit by and watch the sisters kill each other.
"Will … thank you, but you still have to find a way to take care of yourself."
Kurome smiled slightly as if she was moved, and then ridiculed him mercilessly, "Among us, Will, you are the most unreliable. You just do your best to protect yourself."
"What!?"
Will suddenly felt unconvinced and argued with Kurome, "Then you tell me, how am I unreliable?"
"Boom — —!"
When the two were arguing about this, a strong wind suddenly swept out from the canyon in the distance, followed by a bullet that seemed to be composed of pure light, with the precision comparable to a sniper rifle, was fired in the direction of everyone.
The target was Kurome.
At this moment, let alone Kurome and Will, even Ryuga could not help but look at the sniper. The accuracy and power were not bad at all.
