In the final battle of the dragon boat, four of the three forces died, one was knocked away, and two survived. The target minister of this assassination was "lucky" to survive, but the explanation to the outside world was a bit vague, and Le Yuan's existence was hidden by Li Wa. Li Wa, who was seriously injured and returned during the entire Dragon Boat Battle, submitted Gave it to Esdeath.
"Is this the strength of Night Raid? Just one Teigu user almost wiped out all three of you beast warriors. It is indeed a prey worth hunting."
After listening to the entire report, there was no sadness on Esdeath's face, as if the death of his subordinates was no different from the death of ordinary people. He just looked at the tombstones of Daidas and Niu.
Esdeath looked at Levi who was kneeling in front of him. His leather boots made a crisp sound on the ground. He walked to him step by step. He put a hand on Levi's shoulder and said, "Daida The graveyards of Si and Niu have been chosen, you don’t have to feel sad for them. They will die, all because they are too weak, and you can survive precisely because you are strong enough, be grateful for your strength."
"Lord Esdeath, I..." Levi hesitated, just wanting to say something about this incident.
But he saw Esdeath's emotionless eyes looking at Liva, as if the cold air of the twelfth lunar month in winter hit his face. When Levi came back to his senses, Esdeath had already turned around and was about to leave, and her voice reached Levi's ears: "You need to rest for a while. I want to reassess the power of Night Raid and Night Scythe." The strength of the organization. It is enough for you to bring back the Teigu of Daidas and Niu. Although I don’t know if the night raiders took away the corpses of the dead and their Teigu, but I will let them You paid the price for killing my subordinates!”
Due to the casualties of Esdeath's men, in order to supplement Esdeath's combat power, the imperial minister immediately summoned the known Teigu users in the imperial army from all over the country. In the end, a total of six people were summoned and notified. This is the empire. Special Security Force - Hunters.
On the other side, in the secret base belonging to Ye Shang, Chelsea looked at the [Evil Haunted] placed as a decoration in the conference hall and marveled: "Boss, this is the famous Teigu. You I actually brought it back, the night attack would be so painful! This Imperial Equipment ranks very high among the 48 Imperial Equipment."
"No matter how good the Imperial Equipment is, someone must be able to use it. This guy rejects me, and you are not physically capable enough to wear it." Le Yuan glanced at everyone present and sighed, before getting this piece He tried the Teigu the first time. Although it could not be said to be completely exclusive, it could not coexist with the [Leifeng Boots]. The combined load of the two was too great, and the gain outweighed the loss.
Looking at Chelsea's group of people gathered around and chatting about this trophy, Le Yuan suddenly noticed Sai Liu who was sitting in a daze unsocially, and slapped her on the shoulder, making Sai Liu Lyu was so shocked that he stood up and put on a fighting stance and said blankly: "Who? Who attacked me?"
"Se Liu, something is wrong with you. What happened? Why did you become so obsessed?" Le Yuan asked, and Sai Liu lowered his head even lower.
Finally, when everyone asked, Sai Liu embarrassedly told the reason.
"Master, the notice sent from the minister requires me, as a Teigu envoy, to join a special guard unit. My immediate boss is Esdeath. Everyone knows that our biggest opponent now is Esdeath. All of us I just wondered if I was going to refuse, I really didn’t mean to hide it from everyone.”
"Special guard team? You join it, Sai Liu." When Le Yuan heard this, how could he not understand that a super team composed of Teigu users was about to be born, which would be stronger than the current Night Raid and Night Scythe alone? A team of people.
"Eh? Are you serious? Master!" Sai Liu didn't expect Le Yuan to say that.
Chelsea on the side raised her eyebrows and said: "Boss, do you want Chelsea to be an undercover agent? It's impossible. With her character, she will be taken over by that master Esdeath in a short time. If a top-level torture expert sees the flaw, wouldn't this send her to death?"
She has been responsible for monitoring Esdeath's actions in the imperial capital. Chelsea was almost caught by Esdeath's beast-like intuition several times. Coupled with the records of her torture techniques in past intelligence, Chelsea is A hundred people who were unwilling to send Ye Shang undercover.
"Yes, boss. Sister Sailiu is not suitable for the undercover job. It would be about the same if it were a shady girl like Chelsea! Hiccup—" Leonai, who had just been drinking, couldn't help but participate in this. in the topic.
"I am very interested in the Esdeath team that is about to be formed, and Selyu is a very suitable person. As for the problems that will be exposed, leave it to me. Just set a small limit on your consciousness. , you will never reveal your true identity, but you will not forget any of us, you will only be indifferent to the fact that you are a member of the Night Scythe."
Sai Liu, who had never performed outstandingly, gritted his teeth and decided to accept Le Yuan's offer and go to work as an undercover agent among the hunters.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, almost a week has passed since all the hunters gathered. During this period, the capital was calm. Although assassinations continued, no major battle broke out among the three parties.
"Boss, come and take a look at this!"
Le Yuan, who was returning from hunting dangerous species, heard Leonai's voice as soon as he stepped into the store. She was so excited that she hurriedly came to Le Yuan with a notice in her hand and said: "Boss, we How about participating in this? With our ability, we can win first, second, and third place. That’s no problem at all.”
"What are you participating in?" Le Yuan took the notice from Leonai's hand in confusion, glanced at it, and said with an astonished expression on his face: "Citizen Martial Arts Conference? The organizer is... Esdeath! "
Just as Le Yuan was staring at this notice, Leonai on the side said: "What's wrong? Isn't it possible? Our identities are pure 'citizens', but the guys who attack at night are not so good." If you do this, you’ll probably regret it!”
Leonai is full of interest in this martial arts competition. Winning money from his opponents is the best form of revenge for Ye Kama, who has been forced to keep a low profile. And if you get such a large bonus, it will be like a windfall for Leonai, who has been short of money for drinking.
"There is no limit to the number of applicants, as long as they are citizens of the empire. There are no restrictions on the battle. You can use bare hands or weapons. Killing is prohibited in this martial arts competition. Those who kill will lose their qualifications. In addition to the bonus, the champion of the competition may also receive a gift from Ai A special gift from General Stedes."
"Little boss, is this a scam? Would someone like Esdeath hold such a martial arts competition without killing people?" Hill stopped reading and asked.
"It would be great if Seliu was here at this time. Just ask her about this undercover agent and you will know if there is a so-called trap and whether you want to participate in it or not?" Leonai was worried about giving up the bonus that was almost a free gift. Reluctantly, he looked at Le Yuan eagerly, waiting for him to make a decision.
"You guys will be the audience for this competition. I want to take this opportunity to observe Esdeath up close, and this conference may attract many people who are desperate for their lives!" Le Yuan looked at this martial arts. When announcing the conference, I couldn't help but think of the other two players who were involved in the night attack. This announcement was like a bait to attract wolves like a trap, full of temptation.
C+ level side mission—unparalleled martial arts
Mission description: In order to select candidates suitable to inherit the ownerless imperial gear, Esdeath held this martial arts competition
Mission requirements: Defeat everyone else in the martial arts competition and get first place
Mission reward: camp change opportunity*1, 150 experience points, lottery draw*1, stay time*20 days. Mission penalty: reduced stay time *50 days
When Le Yuan came into contact with the notice, he heard the system prompt. Le Yuan, who had no chance to extend his stay, naturally chose to accept the task. Although I don’t know if the rewards of the other two people are the same as my own, it is definitely a task that can be triggered by everyone. Of course, only one person can get the reward in the end.
In fact, a heated discussion was breaking out in the base where the night attack took place. Since the death of high-level combatant Brad, the entire night raid has been filled with a different kind of mourning, and everyone's morale has been very low.
As the BOSS, Najiexitan looked at the people who lowered their heads and clapped her hands, encouraging morale and saying: "Everyone, don't let Brad's sacrifice go to waste. He is a very brave warrior. He killed two Ai alone." The Teigu user of Stedes died of exhaustion in the fight with the third person. He died gloriously as a warrior! Do you want to make his death meaningless?"
"BOSS, I am going to participate in the martial arts competition organized by Esdeath. I think this is a good opportunity to break into the enemy." Knight Lier said solemnly.
"BOSS, I also want to give it a try. If it's a martial arts competition, I'm confident I'll come out on top!" Tazmi glanced at Lille and said to Najexitan.
"You two? I won't ask about your reasons for now, but didn't you, Tazmi, have your face seen by the three beast warriors last time? Although I don't know why they didn't issue a wanted order for you, you still can't let down your guard. , let’s leave this task to Lille!” Najexitan said as she was determined to protect Tazmi, a good seedling with full potential.
"laugh-"
Tazmi suddenly pulled out the sword and stuck it on the ground. She knelt on one knee and said to Najexitan: "BOSS, please let me be willful. I can't fight with my eldest brother when he dies, but now I hope to contribute my own strength to the night attack, and I am absolutely responsible for this mission!" Looking at Tazmi who was inexplicably insistent, Najiesitan waved to Susano'o behind her.
"Snapped-"
Susano'o appeared behind Tazmi as if teleporting, and struck Tazmi on the back of the neck with a hand knife. But facing the sudden attack, Tazmi blocked it with the sword in her hand.
"Mr. Xu, please don't stop me. I must participate in this mission!"
The two people who were in a stalemate suddenly heard Najiexitan's voice: "Okay, I can let you be willful this time, but once you are exposed and caught, we will kill you before you are caught to prevent our secrets from being exposed." , do you still want to go?"
"I want to go, BOSS!" Tazmi's eyes flashed with passion, as if she wanted to see the faith in her heart.
