Chapter 188 Decision
The next day, in the office.
At Ye Xiao's original workstation, the Shadow Guard and Lan were working diligently.
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, lay leisurely on the recliner next to him.
Why aren't you working?
They've already said this world belongs to them.
Besides, what's wrong with enjoying myself after working for so long?
Just as Ye Xiao was enjoying himself...
As Lan worked, she looked at the policy answers Ye Xiao had given her and admired him even more.
If all these policies are implemented, I can hardly believe how much better people's lives will be.
Especially since there was a shadowy figure present.
Not doing your job properly?
Impossible. If he's summoned for questioning the very next day and still doesn't change, Ye Xiao will arrange for Esdeath to give him one-on-one "tutoring."
After all, she was very interested in the ten cruel tortures that Ye Xiao had mentioned, and she was just short of trying them out herself.
At that moment, a dark figure emerged from the ground and respectfully handed over a piece of intelligence.
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, then sat up, took the intelligence report, and looked at it.
Looking at the report above, Ye Xiao's lips curled up.
"I didn't go looking for trouble with the young emperor, but he's come looking for trouble with me first. In that case, don't blame me."
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"Take a look for yourself."
Lan took the intelligence report from Ye Xiao and began to read it.
The intelligence report indicated that the young emperor had followed Minister Ernest's advice and ordered General Bud to lead troops to attack the North three days later.
After reading it, Lan's expression turned serious: "Your Majesty, we need to prepare and assemble the army."
Ye Xiao waved his hand at Lan's concerns.
"Relax, reforms should be carried out where necessary, there's no need to make a big fuss about this little thing."
"But they came here to destroy the nation."
"Heh, they don't have that kind of strength."
Ye Xiao held the empire's army in utter contempt, believing that he could single-handedly build an army and, of course, destroy a nation by himself.
Esdeath was the same; in the manga, she was overwhelmed and killed by tens of thousands of people and a dozen or so Teigu users.
The current empire doesn't have that many conditions.
Therefore, a mere empire can be destroyed with a snap of the fingers.
Having made up his mind, Ye Xiao called out to the soldiers at the door, "Someone, notify Leone, Esdeath, the Akame sisters, the Three Beast Warriors, and the Hunter squad to go to the conference room."
"Yes, ma'am."
After a while, people arrived one after another in the conference room. Leone sat down casually.
Esdeath's eyes gleamed with excitement; she couldn't wait to make a big splash.
The Red-Eyed Sisters, the Three Beast Warriors, and the Hunter Squad were all on high alert.
Ye Xiao glanced at everyone and slowly said, "Everyone, three days from now, General Bude will lead the troops from the capital to attack the northern lands."
Everyone reacted differently upon hearing this news.
Looking at everyone, Ye Xiao smiled and continued, "Since they want to attack us, then let's strike first. Tonight, we'll infiltrate the capital and wipe out their stronghold."
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's plan, everyone's eyes sharpened, and their fighting spirit ignited.
Leone whistled excitedly, "Just what I wanted! I've been wanting to teach those guys a lesson for ages!"
Esdeath rubbed her hands together, her eyes gleaming with bloodlust: "Finally, I have a chance to fight properly. I'm going to make the Imperial Capital a river of blood."
The Akame sisters nodded silently, fully aware of the importance of this battle.
The three orc warriors and the hunter squad all expressed their determination to do their best.
Ye Xiao nodded as he looked at the group of people who were full of fighting spirit.
"Everyone, get ready. We'll go sit at the Night Raid location for a bit later."
... ... ... ...
The imperial capital.
Because General Bude gave the soldiers a few days off, the entire capital was quite lively.
A book rental shop on a bustling street.
As the bookstore doors opened, a green-haired boy stretched and walked out of the bookstore. He was Lubbock, a member of Night Raid known as the "Lone Testicle Warrior".
Looking at the bustling scene on the street, Lubbock stood at the door with curiosity on his face and couldn't help but sigh, "It's unusually lively today."
Such a lively scene only seems to occur during the Lunar New Year.
"Yo~ Rabbo, good morning."
At that moment, the uncle from the shop next door greeted Lubbock.
Because Lubbock got along well with everyone around him, the local residents liked the boy very much.
Good morning, uncle.
Lubbock gave a brief greeting and then asked curiously, "Uncle, what day is it today? It's so lively."
The uncle explained with a smile, "General Bud gave the soldiers a holiday, and everyone is out shopping with their families."
I heard they're going to attack the North in a few days; I guess they want the soldiers to relax before the battle.
After all, nobody knows if they'll ever come back.
Hearing the uncle's words, Lubbock was quite surprised.
To attack the North?
Wasn't this matter taken over by that crazy woman Esdeath?
They even want to send troops to the north.
What happened in the North?
They actually sent two imperial generals.
At this moment, in the entire capital, apart from a few people who knew that Esdeath had betrayed the country, everyone else was completely unaware.
Lubbock felt he needed to report this to Najeta.
With that in mind, Lubbock decided to return to the base first.
"Thanks, sir."
With that, Lubbock closed the door of the rental bookstore and headed out of the city toward the base for the night raid.
The base was attacked at night.
It has been some time since Najenda returned to Night Raid Base.
She is currently discussing matters in the North with Brand, Mine, Hill, and Chelsea, and also having a short meeting.
"These are all about the changes in the North. Akame, Leone, and I have already joined the Northern Kingdom. I wonder if you would like to join us?"
As Najeta finished speaking...
Everyone present fell silent.
Join the Northern Kingdom?
Although Najenda described the current situation in the North as peaceful and prosperous, everyone found it hard to believe.
After all, hearing the BOSS describe the northern lands made it feel like living in a fairy tale world.
There were no nobles.
The king of the North Kingdom promulgated policies and distributed welfare to the common people; it all felt like a dream.
Brand and Chelsea joined Night Raid because of the corruption in the Empire and its officials, while Mine joined Night Raid to prevent her mixed-race children from being discriminated against.
Apart from Hill, who joined Night Raid because of her talent, the others joined more or less because of the corruption of the Empire.
Brand crossed his arms and began to think.
Because he learned from Najenda that his former boss, Liva, had also joined the Northern Kingdom.
Perhaps joining the Northern Kingdom would be a good choice, so that the two of them could fight side by side again.
Just then, the base door was pushed open, and Lubbock hurriedly walked in.
"Boss... Boss, we have new information!"
