Upon hearing Gabriel's declaration, none of the Night Raid members showed any sign of trust.
Instead, his expression became increasingly suspicious.
If these three hadn't displayed abilities so different from those of the Teigu users, they would have thought they were three lunatics.
After all, if it were really that easy, would the Revolutionary Army and the Night Raid have gone through so much trouble?
They also lied and claimed that Esdeath had become their companion.
Knowing that woman as Najenda did, how could she possibly agree to join this group in rebelling against the Empire?
"It'll definitely be easy. My buddy Rosen is over there. He can tell what's good for him as soon as he makes a move. What are Bud and the Guardian Machine God? They wouldn't stand a chance against him even if they were put together."
Hearing Gabriel's boasting, the Night Raid members felt more and more that this strangely dressed girl was just daydreaming.
"Boss, let's find a doctor to check their brains first. They're very capable, but they have mental illnesses. What a pity."
The girl with pink twin ponytails, and even her clothes were pink, Mine, said while holding her forehead.
"He's even more mentally unstable than some of the refugees in my hometown slums. Luckily, he has some strength, otherwise he wouldn't even know if he was sold out."
The blonde girl, Leone, sighed.
"Can Hill take care of them?"
A girl with black hair and red eyes, named Akame, looked at a purple-haired girl with glasses wearing a cheongsam beside her and asked.
"Then leave it to me."
Hill patted his two big thunderbolts and said.
"You must believe me! How could I, an angel, possibly lie to mortals? Otherwise, I would be struck by lightning!"
Gabriel looked at their disbelieving faces and showed a troubled expression.
But the words just fell.
Several claps of thunder echoed from the distant sky.
This made the situation even more awkward.
“Gabriel, don’t explain so much yet. After all, I wouldn’t believe it either if I were in your shoes.”
Fubuki sighed.
"They're really stubborn. Otherwise, we should just ignore them."
Frillie said calmly.
"As long as they're alive, that's all that matters. Trying to persuade them is too much trouble."
"But what if they fight Esdeath if we don't explain things clearly?"
Gabriel said helplessly.
The voice just fell.
A man and three women appeared out of thin air beside the group.
In addition, there were three other people who were tied up.
The identities of the one man and three women are self-evident: the man is Lawson, and the women are Saeko Busujima, Marshiel, and Esdeath.
As for the other three, they were the young emperor, Ernest, and Bud, who were brought along by Rosen.
"Huh? What brings you all here?"
Fubuki asked in surprise.
"Because I thought these people from the night raid might be more stubborn than (Zhao), I brought the spoils of war to show them what I was capable of."
Speaking of it.
Rosen's gaze swept over the Night Raid members.
After deliberately ignoring the two men, Rosen's Tree of Life began to react to the black-haired girl among them.
With her beautiful long black hair, crimson eyes, and defiant gaze, she possessed a striking face that was quite pretty even without makeup.
The upper body was covered by a black off-shoulder bodysuit, which, perhaps because it was so form-fitting, accentuated the girl's beautiful figure.
Akame was staring at Rosen. Even though she was usually rather taciturn, the way Rosen appeared and what he brought were so shocking that her crimson eyes were filled with astonishment.
Then Rosen looked at the others.
Mine, Leone, Hill, and Najendan.
The Tree of Life didn't react for the time being, but Rosen paused for half a second on Leone's thunderous aura.
Chapter 139 No Room for Negotiation
Rosen quickly looked away.
But at the same time, Najenda suddenly took a few steps back: "Esdeath, you..."
Upon hearing this name, which instilled fear in both the Revolutionary Army and Night Raid, Akame and Mine instantly drew their weapons.
Although they had never met Esdeath, they had heard many things about her.
Furthermore, we often hear the boss say that only by gathering 50,000 of the most elite soldiers and five Imperial Arms users can Esdeath be defeated.
Although the number of Imperial Arms users in the night raid exceeded the limit, there weren't 50,000 soldiers here.
"Don't be so wary, I mean you no harm."
However, it was clear that Najenda, who was traumatized, was not listening to these words for the time being.
Rosen vanished from his spot, then snatched all of their Imperial Arms. Amid their shocked gazes, he continued, "Actually, if we truly harbored any ill will towards you, you wouldn't be able to resist me at all."
After saying that, he kicked Ernest, who was standing next to him.
"Just like them."
After the Imperial Arms were removed from their hands, they became much more sober.
And at this point in 107, I also noticed Ernest, the young emperor, and Bud lying on the ground.
The night raiders, who had originally planned to fight to the death, also stopped.
Seeing that they had lost their will to fight, Fubuki and Frillie, who were nearby, also stopped charging up their superpowers and magic.
"Sure enough, it's much easier to explain things when there's a power imbalance."
Frillie put away her staff, figuring the frightened Night Raid members wouldn't have any other ideas anyway.
"Rosen, can I borrow those Imperial Arms to study them?"
"You'll have to ask them for their opinion."
Rosen chuckled as he answered, then returned Akame and the others' Imperial Arms to them.
"Oh, so you agree?"
Frillie turned to look at them.
"No...it's okay, but how long will it take to study it?"
Leone gave an awkward smile.
Just now, Rosen demonstrated the power to take away all of their Imperial Arms in an instant without them having any reaction. He could also snap all of their necks in an instant.
So it's just like what this long-eared girl said.
Given the vast difference in their strength, the only option they could have was to sit down and talk.
"About ten years."
"Frilian replied."
"?"
Leone's eyes widened.
ten years?
Ten years have passed, and her child must be old enough to run errands by now!
"She was just joking; it usually only takes a few days to get better."
Saeko Busujima tried to smooth things over.
He then looked at Frillie with a hint of helplessness.
"Won't that take so long and cause inconvenience to others?"
"Is it a long time? I feel like ten years will pass very quickly."
"That's for you elves, right? Humans only live for eight or nine decades."
"All right..."
Frillie's mouth turned wavy again, though she clearly didn't think so in her heart.
"Who...who are you people?"
With her companions' comforting words, Najenda, having regained her composure, asked in a deep voice.
At the same time, she couldn't help but glance at Esdeath out of the corner of her eye.
And his former colleagues were watching him with smiles.
My left hand and right eye, which I had lost long ago, have started to experience phantom pain again.
"I never expected you to be the leader of the Night Raid. It seems that letting you escape was a mistake."
Esdeath said with a smile.
"I am doing this for the greater good; the empire has reached a point where reform is necessary."
Although Najenda still felt some fear, her will was stronger than before.
"Those who oppress the people need to be purged! Only then can the people enjoy freedom and stability!"
"Hehe, you (ahdj) are as naive as ever, but... in terms of position, I'm no different from you now."
Esdeath gave Najenda a deep look.
"?"
...
A night raid was launched on the headquarters' conference hall.
It was a little later in the day.
The entire Night Raid team sat together and listened to the background and purpose of Rosen and his group.
Protect them, kill Minister Ernest, and overthrow the empire.
Although they didn't feel they needed protection, their main objective was the same as the night raid, and they had already taken action, not only turning Minister Ernest into a human skeleton but also kidnapping the young emperor and Bud here.
In an instant, the three most powerful people in the capital were all dealt with, giving them the feeling of being in a dream.
However, upon hearing that they intended to support Esdeath as the new emperor of the empire, they all displayed extremely interesting expressions.
"Why make Esdeath the empress? What about the revolutionary army? Why not let the revolutionary army overthrow the empire?"
Najendan asked three questions in a single second, revealing the three most pressing issues at the moment.
"Because she is the best choice. The Revolutionary Army can either disband on the spot or join Esdeath's ranks. As for the third option, my assessment is that it is unnecessary."
The rise and fall of dynasties throughout history has been due to government corruption, widespread poverty, and foreign invasion.
Each new ruler would change the country's name to distinguish it.
But there's absolutely no need for that on the Empire's side.
Ultimately, the fundamental reason is not because it is called an empire, but because the ruling class is rotten from top to bottom.
As long as it can be changed, the country's name doesn't matter.
"Isn't there room for negotiation? We can definitely work together."
Najendan wanted to try.
