“You belong to NIGHTRAID and want to rebel against the Empire, don’t you? Currently, besides the two of you… Hill and Miss Chelsea, there are four others waiting at the distant base: Najenda, Akame, Leone, and Mine.”
"..."
Chelsea was shocked.
Even though she knew beforehand that the maids' master, Baili, possessed intelligence, she never imagined he knew so much...
What is NIGHTRAID?
Asia asked curiously.
Chunji, standing to one side, also turned her gaze to Baili.
"Simply put, NIGHTRAID is a revolutionary army in this world that rebels against the tyrannical rule of the Empire, so let's consider these two young ladies as..."
Let's be on the side of justice.
"We're not that powerful..."
Hill quickly denied it.
Standing to the side, Chelsea sighed and whispered, "I'm just thinking about it."
"By saying that, aren't you admitting that what he just said was correct?"
"It seems...that's the case."
"There's nothing I can do."
Chelsea decided to give up.
If you can't escape and you can't win a fight, what's left but to seek cooperation?
Of course, seeking a blessing would be a more appropriate term.
After all, Chelsea didn't have the leverage to engage in equal dialogue.
This made her lower her head and bow to Baili.
"We heard from the two maids on the way that your name is Baili. So, Lord Baili, what is it you wish to ask us after bringing us here?"
"I just wanted to practice my skills in this world; you guys were just incidental."
"I don't quite understand...this world? Just practicing? And incidentally?"
"Now comes the main event, let's get ready."
“…………?”
Chelsea was still puzzled by Baili's words and had no idea what Baili was trying to do.
at the same time--
The little girls led several villagers out of the village.
There were also two injured children inside.
Seeing this, Asia quickly went over.
As Asia was healing the child's wounds, an old man emerged from the center of the village.
Leaning on her cane, she looked at the imperial soldiers who were tied up and sitting on the ground.
"Really, thank you so much... thank you all, but please leave quickly, or just run away with us..."
"why?"
Aihara Enju looked at the old man with gray hair.
The latter raised his cane and pointed to the road leading to the village. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
“If the soldiers are captured here, the Empire will definitely send a more powerful force to sweep through the village. If they stay here, they will definitely be surrounded again.”
"That's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause..."
Qian Shouxia understood what the old man meant.
Wearing a hat, Fuse Midori looked towards the forest path not far away.
"How long will it take for the next wave of Imperial troops to arrive?"
"No matter how many come, just take them all out."
As she said this, Lena swung her fist.
In the eyes of the little girls, things are that simple: however many bad guys come, they'll deal with them.
After completing her treatment, Asia returned to Baili's side and glanced at the Imperial soldiers who had been beaten up and tied up.
"Whether we let them go or not, the result will be the same, so we have no choice but to evacuate from here. What do you think is the best course of action, Mr. Baili?"
"Grayfia."
Baili, who was being questioned by Asia, turned to the silver-haired maid.
"You can arrange for these soldiers to be sent away to a quiet place."
"I understand."
Griffia, who was known as the Silver-Haired Annihilator, nodded and walked toward the soldiers who had been tied up by Katagiri Yuzuki.
She slowly raised her right hand, and the light flowing from her fingertips began to flicker.
A surge of magical power was released, creating a magic circle that surrounded all the soldiers on the ground.
"I'll be right back, Lord Baili."
After saying this, Griffithia led her soldiers to complete the teleportation and disappeared from the scene.
I believe those soldiers will soon have a new life.
The premise is that they can be reincarnated after death...
With that in mind, Baili refocused her attention on the present moment.
"What's your next plan, NIGHTRAID?"
"All the plans have only one purpose: to overthrow the rule of the empire."
Chelsea did not hide anything about this.
This caused the girls to gather around Hill.
Hill, who was initially wary, immediately put away the Imperial Arms she was holding when she saw the little girls approaching her.
"Does big sister know what an empire is?"
"Is that empire so terrible, big sister?"
how to say……
Hill briefly discussed the setting of the Empire.
The Empire—it is an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, the most powerful country in the world. The only thing that can rival it is the kingdoms in the west, while the southern islands and the northern tundra are relatively backward, and the eastern island nations are uncivilized lands.
As time passed, a thousand years after the empire's founding, politics became increasingly corrupt.
This corruption reached new heights, especially after Lord Ernest took office.
To maintain its oppressive rule, the empire established an assassination squad; forces that resisted the empire also formed a revolutionary army.
This is the simplified version of history.
"The empire's assassination squads are under the command of princes and nobles, and their soldiers are also arson, murder, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities. That's why we want to end the empire's rule."
"So the empire is full of villains."
After listening, Aihara Enju understood the current state of the world.
The air seemed to stir with agitation.
Griffith returned to the scene alone at this point.
"They've all been sent away, Lord Baili."
"Very good, next..."
Baili shifted his gaze from Griffia to Chelsea and Hill.
"There's a large plain nearby. Call the NIGHTRAID members there first, and we'll give you a mission later."
"........."
Neither Hill nor Chelsea responded to Baili's direct commands.
"Didn't you hear me?"
Levi stepped forward and asked the two of them.
Although she knew that Baili and the others were enemies of the Empire, Chelsea still did not consider bringing her companions here.
Baili wasted no time on this.
"Levier, you and Mai go check out the base where their companions are. I'll tell you the location."
"You know the location?"
Upon hearing this, Chelsea couldn't sit still any longer.
Hill stepped forward at this moment.
"To avoid any accidents, please let me accompany you."
She certainly didn't want her companions to clash with Baili's maid and others.
Baili nodded and agreed to Hill's request.
"Let's get started here too."
After saying this, Baili mobilized his forces.
As previously arranged, the chaos released through his power spread outwards from him.
The next instant, a crack that stretched across the sky suddenly tore through the heavens, as if the curtain between heaven and earth had been forcibly pulled open.
Within the cracks, countless stars could be faintly seen flowing, as if the entire Milky Way had been drawn into it.
Deep within the rift, an indescribable chaotic power poured forth.
