"Oh, these idiots are such a headache."

Running on the roof, looking at the roar and fighting sounds ahead, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly and sighed. This was another reason why he didn't contact Night Raid.

These guys are so unprofessional.

To put it bluntly, in Fang Zheng's opinion, the night raid is like a novice Assassin's Creed player who enters the game and says, "I want to go invincible, there's no point in hiding, just kill everyone"... and then is chased by soldiers and runs away in panic.

Without unparalleled abilities or unparalleled skills, all that’s left is just recklessness.

In Fang Zheng's opinion, the reason why Ye Xi was still alive today was simply because of their strong strength and good luck. If someone with similar abilities came across them, this group of people would be helpless.

Just like now.

For the girls, this scene was beyond their expectations.

Originally, Hill had successfully repelled Seleu with his imperial weapon and cut off her hands. But what Hill and Myne didn't expect was that at the same time, the originally huge dog seemed to have sensed the danger of its master, and suddenly went crazy and grabbed Myne.

"Crush her!!!"

Looking at Maine who was held tightly in his hand, Seryu roared loudly.

"Crush her into a pulp!!"

"roar--!!!"

Hearing the master's order, the huge dog clenched its right hand again. Soon, Myne's petite body began to twist and deform.

“Wu…Wuuuuuuuuu!!”

Feeling this heart-wrenching pain, Marin couldn't help but scream. At this moment, the knife flashed.

“Swish!!”

The giant dog was holding onto Myne's right hand, which was cut off at the root. Hill jumped down with a pair of scissors in her hand and cut the dog's arm completely. However, just as she landed and looked at Myne before she could say anything, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

"Bang!!"

The hot bullet pierced Hill's chest, and blood splattered.

“Hill!!”

Seeing her companion injured and lying on the ground, Maine screamed immediately. She turned her head and found that the woman whose arms were cut off by Hill had opened her mouth, and from her mouth, a black muzzle was emitting smoke. Then, Seleu suddenly bit the barrel of the gun, his eyes red!

"Xiaobi, justice is enforced--"

Following Seryu's order, the giant dog that had transformed into a demon opened its mouth and bit the purple-haired girl in front of it—!

However, at the same time, a figure quietly appeared behind Seleu.

“Puff.”

The sharp hidden blade pierced through the girl's body and pierced her heart. Selyu opened his eyes wide at the sudden attack.

This is it! This is it!

This is the murderer who killed the captain!!

I will kill him! Kill him! Execute justice! Eliminate evil!!

"Small--!"

Thinking of this, Selyu used up her last bit of strength and tried to call for her imperial weapon. However, just as she opened her mouth to try to shout, a hand stretched out from behind and covered her mouth. Then a cold light flashed, and the next moment, blood flew from the girl's neck, and Selyu's wide-open eyes also became completely dim at this moment.

“……!!?”

The giant dog also stopped moving at this moment, as if it sensed the danger of its master. However, when the giant dog turned its head, all it saw was Seleu slowly falling to the ground, and the figure in a white robe standing behind Seleu.

“——!!!”

At this moment, the imperial weapon also exploded with its remaining strength. It leaped high, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the white figure. Facing the attack of the giant dog, Fang Zheng just stood there, motionless. He opened his eyes, stared at the giant dog in front of him, and then raised his hands.

Just a moment.

Even Marin, who was lying on the ground, held her breath and watched the battle in front of her. She only saw the giant dog rushing towards the mysterious figure on the opposite side. Then Marin felt a flash in front of her eyes, and then the figure suddenly appeared behind the giant dog. The giant dog still kept the posture of attacking and leaped down, but when it landed on the ground, countless blood marks suddenly appeared on the body of the giant dog. Then Marin saw that the giant dog seemed to be cut into pieces and turned into blood and flesh on the ground.

Liar!

Seeing this, Myne's eyes widened in surprise, not knowing what to say. She had fought with the giant dog for so long before, and of course she knew how difficult it was to deal with. Unless the core of a biological imperial weapon was destroyed, it would never be destroyed. Myne had used her own imperial weapon to cause damage to the giant dog several times before, but the opponent's recovery ability was also outstanding.

Even if Myne blew off half of its head, the dog would return to normal after a moment.

But now, it was cut into pieces? !

No, this imperial weapon was completely destroyed?

At this moment, Fang Zheng had already walked over to the two of them. The girl with the pink ponytail was in relatively good condition, so Fang Zheng squatted down, turned over the purple-haired girl, and examined her carefully.

"It didn't hit the heart."

"call……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Marin breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know who the other party was, she already had some guesses in her heart.

"You, are you the Grim Reaper?"

“…”

Fang Zheng did not answer Maine's question. He first picked up Hill and then looked at Maine.

"Can you stand up?"

"……Can."

"Come with me."

After looking at Mayin who had barely stood up, Fang Zheng silently turned around and walked to the other side. Looking at Fang Zheng's receding back, Mayin hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the imperial weapon, followed Fang Zheng, and left this place of trouble.

At the same time, in the woods on the other side, a fateful battle was taking place.

"Why, are you here? Iyeas?"

Tatsumi gripped the sword tightly, staring at the figure in front of him. In front of him, Iyeas, who was wearing a gray robe, held a sword in his hand and looked at him.

Tatsumi never thought that he would meet his lost companions here. He was originally here to be in charge of the siege according to Seleu's order. If the thieves wanted to retreat, he would rush out from here to block them.

But the situation was worse than Tatsumi had imagined. At the beginning, he was somewhat hesitant when he saw that the two girls were fighting with Seleu. But when Seleu's arms were cut off by one of the purple-haired girls, Tatsumi finally couldn't hold back and wanted to attack. But at this moment, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

That was his best friend, his childhood sweetheart - Iyeas.

"I never thought you would join the guard team, Tatsumi."

Iyeas looked at Tatsumi's guard uniform with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment. He still remembered that when the three of them left the village, they had vowed to make a name for themselves in the imperial capital. Now it seemed that Tatsumi had achieved this ideal.

But myself and Shayou...

Thinking of this, Iyeas took a deep breath and looked at Tatsumi in front of him again.

"What's going on? Iyeas? Are you also a member of the Night Raid? Have you joined the Revolutionary Army?"

Tatsumi looked at his friend in surprise, not knowing what to say.

"No, I'm not a member of Night Raid, and I'm not in the Revolutionary Army."

"So why are you standing in front of me?"

“Because this is my mission.”

Iyeas swung the sword in his hand.

"My mentor ordered me to assist in rescuing Night Raid, so I am here. But I didn't expect to see you here, Tatsumi."

“…”

Hearing Iyeas's answer, Tatsumi was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something.

“…Is that you?”

“…”

"Iyeas, are you... the God of Death?"

Facing his friend's question, Iyeas hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slowly. Seeing this, Tatsumi tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

"So... you killed Captain Ouka too?"

"Guard Captain Oka is indeed our target."

Iyeas's tone turned cold again.

"Why are you doing this? Iyeas! Captain Ouka, Captain Ouka is not a bad guy!"

"What do you know!"

Hearing Tatsumi's rebuttal, Iyeas also suddenly roared in anger.

"I don't know what kind of person Ouka is in your eyes, but he is a villain who kills innocent people and colludes with profiteers!"

"Captain Ouka is not that kind of person!"

Tatsumi also shouted loudly.

"Captain Ouka may look fierce, but he is actually a very generous and straightforward good man. He was the one who brought me into the security team and guided me. How could he be that kind of person!"

“But that’s actually who he is.”

Iyeas's expression also turned gloomy.

"Tatsumi, you were just deceived, you know? The same thing happened to Sau and I. When we came to this city, we were also deceived by a noble. They seemed to want to take care of us, but in fact, they just wanted to abuse us for fun! In fact, if no one had saved us, Sau and I would have died long ago! Listen, Tatsumi, this country, these nobles and officials are rotten to the core, and only death is their destination!"

"It's wrong for you to do this! Don't you see what the imperial capital has become now? Iyeas? Everyone is terrified and panic-stricken. Is this what you want?"

“…Everything is false, and everything is permitted.”

Facing Tatsumi's roar, Iyeas just responded silently, then he took a step back.

"Tatsumi, leave the guard team, leave the imperial capital. I won't say it a second time. Next time, you won't be so lucky."

"etc……!!"

Watching Iyeas leave, Tatsumi hurriedly chased after him, but in just a blink of an eye, Iyeas' figure disappeared into the dark shadows, and only Tatsumi stood there with his fists clenched.

"Why……!"

Tatsumi roared and punched the tree next to him.

"Why did it become like this? Iyeas!"
