Chapter 28
Esdeath put aside his messy thoughts.
"The minister seems to want to transfer you to the assassination unit."
At this time, Esdeath said to Bai Ye.
"What is that place? Responsible for assassination work?"
Bai Ye asked.
"It's about the same. It mainly deals with those rebels, such as the "night raid" that has been popular recently. I don't know more details. The spy agency is responsible for the assassination unit."
Esdeath roughly explained: "Anyway, it can be regarded as a promotion. Your promotion speed is quite fast. It is estimated that you will be able to replace Najeshitan's general position in a short time."
"So are you going there in the next two days?"
Bai Ye asked.
He is still interested in this new job. There is a chance to contact those rebels, in other words, the revolutionary army.
Bai Ye wants to find out his position as soon as possible,
whether to be promoted all the way to the top of the military officer, the general.
Or to help the revolutionary army overthrow the empire and establish a new empire.
Or he could be a royalist, protecting the current young emperor and eradicating the minister who was the culprit.
As for the minister at the top of the civil service, or becoming the emperor himself, he had no interest in it. He was neither good at politics nor interested in it. He would not be so arrogant as to think about managing such a large empire.
Since he had traveled to this world, he must do something. He couldn't just go out and hunt dangerous species every day. That would be too boring.
But now Bai Ye couldn't determine his position. He didn't know the specific military strength of the empire, the revolutionary army, and the foreign ethnic groups. He certainly couldn't help the revolutionary army overthrow the empire all at once.
What if the empire and the revolutionary army were both defeated, and the foreign ethnic groups took advantage of the chaos to enter, wouldn't that be the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty?
"It's probably these few days. Something happened to the assassination unit, and it's in a state of chaos now."
Esdeath said.
"What happened?"
Bai Ye asked with a little curiosity.
"The seven elite members of the assassination team died or fled. Even the manager of the seven elite members was killed and the imperial weapon 'Murasame' was taken away. The one who killed the manager seemed to be a girl named Akame. It is said that she has defected to 'Night Raid'."
Esdeath said lightly.
She did not feel any regret for the death of those people.
She was a little interested in "Night Raid". She heard that all the "members" in it were imperial weapon users. She liked to fight against powerful opponents and enjoy the feeling of killing.
She even let Najeshitan go on purpose, otherwise she could have killed Najeshitan before the revolutionary army arrived.
She was waiting for Najeshitan to come back so that she could enjoy the battle more.
This was Esdeath's bad taste.
Murasame...
Bai Ye had just seen this imperial weapon in the picture book.
"So, the elite members of the assassination team are almost gone? No wonder they want me and Sailu to go."
Bai Ye said in a deep voice.
"Probably. I heard that there is also a black-eyed person in the assassination team who is also an imperial weapon user. She did not defect, but the strength of the others is not that good."
Esdeath said bluntly: "And this is also a good opportunity. The assassination team is now empty and shaky. If you can do something, it will be easier to get promoted."
"That's right..."
Bai Ye's eyes then looked at Sailu, "Then what is your wish, Sailu?"
"...My wish?"
Sailu was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect the master to ask about her wish.
In her cognition, she must absolutely obey the orders of the empire, so she has never considered the issue of will.
"I am definitely willing, and I also want to enforce justice with the master, don't you think so, Xiaobi?"
Sailu said immediately.
"Chi~!"
Xiaobi jumped up and responded.
"That's it, I should return to the front line soon."
After saying that, Esdeath left.
She definitely still prioritized enjoying the war, after all, she didn't know what her feelings for Bai Ye were.
As for the fact that Seryu would act with Bai Ye in the assassination team, Esdeath didn't care too much.
As long as she didn't see Bai Ye having close contact with other women, she wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
She wasn't so overbearing as to completely prevent Bai Ye from having contact with women.
When Esdeath left, Seryu looked at Esdeath's departing figure with admiration, "You're worthy of being General Esdeath, rushing to exorcise evil so soon."
"By the way, Master and General Esdeath seem to be very familiar, did they know each other a long time ago?"
Seryu asked a little curiously.
"No, actually we just met not long ago."
Bai Ye replied.
"Huh? Really?"
Seryu was surprised and said, "It seems that the relationship between Master and General Esdeath is very special. "
In fact, she knew nothing about that, so she couldn't tell what was so unusual about it.
............
The next day.
Bai Ye received a message.
Someone will be sent to replace him and Sai Liu, and he and Sai Liu can go directly to the assassination unit to serve.
Since the two original managers of the Empire Assassination Unit died at the hands of Akame, Bai Ye's next position in the assassination unit is the new manager, and Sai Liu will serve as his assistant.
And their duty is to train the remaining members of the assassination unit, who are said to be children under 20 years old, about the same age as Bai Ye and Sai Liu.
At this time, Bai Ye has obtained the personnel list of the Empire Assassination Unit and is on the way to the assassination unit base.
The list not only has names, but also weapons, strengths and weaknesses, and origins.
Bai Ye glanced at it and found that these people's origins actually have one thing in common, that is, orphans.
"Specially select orphans to train them into killers...?" "
Bai Ye thought to himself, and suddenly felt that this behavior was quite classic.
In the list, he saw a Teigu user, and several other servant users, and the rest used ordinary weapons.
The Teigu user was Kuroi, Akani's sister, and the Teigu she possessed was "March of the Dead·Eight Houses". The ability of the Teigu was to control the creatures killed by this Teigu through curses, and up to eight corpses could be controlled, and all of them had the strength they had when they were alive.
The disadvantage is that the more corpses this Teigu controls at the same time, the Teigu user's own strength will be reduced. The more it weakens.
In general, this is a very powerful imperial tool.
"Red pupil and black pupil..."
Bai Ye muttered to himself, thinking about something.
