Chapter 377: [375] Night Raid!
Where darkness exists, light inevitably follows.
In the imperial capital, a bastion of power and depravity where shadows thrive, there are whispers of rebellion. Among these whispers is Night Raid—a feared assassin group renowned across the capital. In truth, they are a secret division of the Revolutionary Army, established to dismantle the Empire's corrupt reign through covert operations.
Their missions typically involve eliminating corrupt officials and tyrants at the behest of oppressed citizens. However, their ultimate goal is to assassinate the root of the Empire's corruption—the Prime Minister himself.
At the helm of Night Raid is Najenda, once the youngest general of the Empire.
Years ago, Najenda fought alongside Esdeath, her former colleague and one-time friend, during campaigns in the southwestern territories. Witnessing Esdeath's merciless slaughter of indigenous tribes and her army's monstrous brutality, Najenda could no longer stomach the Empire's atrocities. Disillusioned and driven by a sense of justice, she defected.
She changed her identity, becoming the woman known today as Najenda, and joined the Revolutionary Army. As the leader of Night Raid, she returned to the imperial capital, transforming into a blade aimed directly at the heart of the Empire's darkness.
Tonight, Najenda's face was marked by a rare severity.
Gathered around her were the elite members of Night Raid, all of whom were notorious fugitives on the Empire's most-wanted list. Each one was a Teigu wielder—individuals equipped with ancient weapons of extraordinary power.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Mine, the sniper with the pumpkin-like Teigus, asked curiously.
"She's back," Najenda replied, her tone heavy.
"She?" Mine's brow furrowed.
