Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 139

Night raid base.

“I’m back, does everyone miss me?” Lin Yu joyfully pushed open the meeting room door, announcing his arrival.

But everyone just looked up at him for a moment and then ignored him, as if they were used to it.

Only Sheele smiled gently: “You’re back.”

“Wuwu, only Sheele cares about me.” Lin Yu was deeply moved and tried to fly forward to embrace her.

But two dark figures flashed past, and then with a “bang!” they collided with Lin Yu’s abdomen.

“Ugh!”

Lin Yu’s eyes bulged, he spat out white foam, then fell heavily to the ground, rolling his eyes.

“Sister, were we too forceful?” Kurome stared blankly at the motionless Lin Yu, “He seems to have fainted?”

Akame raised her hand to stroke her chin in thought: “It looks like it, but we can’t rule out that he’s faking it. Why don’t you go over and kick him a couple of times, Kurome?”

“Good point.”

Kurome smiled sweetly and raised her small black leather shoe, about to step down.

Hearing this, Lin Yu immediately stopped faking it: “Hey hey, why has everyone become so bad? Shouldn’t you be picking me up and asking if I’m hurt at a time like this?”

Pfft~

Chelsea, who was watching the show in the meeting room, laughed: “You weren’t this fragile when you fought Tatsumi in the arena~ How did your body get hollowed out by the General, so weak you’re practically transparent? Old Man Lin~”

“Huh? How did you know? No, I’m accusing you of slandering me, my body is super good.” Lin Yu straightened his body, showing off his physique.

Pfft~

Chelsea laughed even louder.

Lin Yu’s face darkened, and he prepared to let her taste the power of theft. This thing was incredibly good at stealing objects with a triangular probability.

But at this moment, Najenda walked out wearing a black vest, with a white long towel draped around her neck, and a faint warmth emanating from her body, as if she had just come out of the shower.

“Yo, you’re back so soon.” Najenda raised her mechanical arm to greet him.

“Yeah, thanks to Blue-Eyes White Dragon, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it back. The enemy was really hateful.” Lin Yu was indignant. Throwing him so far, anyone else probably wouldn’t have made it back. “Speaking of which, boss, how old are you?” He changed the subject.

“Me? I’m in my twenties, a little older than Esdeath.” Najenda replied.

“Huh? Twenties? Boss, you’re not joking?” Lin Yu was greatly surprised. He was also in his twenties, but he was clearly younger than the boss.

“…”

The air was silent, and the next second, “bang bang” sounds rang out.

This time, Lin Yu was successfully picked up by Akame.

“D-damn it, I don’t think I said anything wrong, did I?” Lin Yu touched his handsome face, wuwu, it was beaten into a pig’s head.

“It’s rude to discuss a woman’s age, Lin Yu.” Akame explained.

“B-but didn’t you and Leone also discuss weight?”

“Ah? Did we? Lin Yu, what are you talking about~” Akame smiled sweetly, but it sent a chill down Lin Yu’s spine.

“After dinner, come back for a meeting.” At this moment, the boss ordered.

Thud!

Akame quickly put Lin Yu down and ran towards the kitchen, leaving Lin Yu, whose back of the head hit the ground, bewildered. What happened? Why did she suddenly drop him?

…

After dinner.

Excluding Tatsumi and Bulat, everyone else was here.

Lin Yu looked around, sighing in his heart, it seemed Tatsumi and Big Brother had gone on another sweet duo queue.

“This case involves the Path of Peace cult, which is trusted by a large number of people.” Najenda’s voice was low and powerful.

“That’s the cult that claims doing good deeds will lead to a long and happy life, right?” Chelsea asked, leaning against the wall.

“Hmm? I remember that spreading to our village.” Ieyasu also recalled this cult. To be honest, it was quite impressive that they could reach their village.

“The reason Tatsumi survived last time was also because of a talisman from this cult.” Sayo looked at Akame. She had witnessed Murasame’s power; Tatsumi’s survival was truly good luck.

“That’s right.” Najenda nodded. “That cult developed rapidly on the east side of the Imperial Capital in just ten years, gaining many followers. Recently, the Path of Peace launched an armed uprising… a rebellion…”

“Revolutionary Army headquarters is considering using it.”

“Wait a minute!” Ieyasu abruptly interrupted Najenda, his voice urgent, “If such an uprising is launched, how many civilians will be injured or killed? Shouldn’t we stop the rebellion?”

But no one present responded. If Tatsumi were here, he would definitely say similar things to him.

Lin Yu also did not speak. He was a captain in the guard and also had memories of Blue Star. In the current situation of the Empire, the people only had a way out through resistance. Otherwise, under the general environment, more and more walking dead would emerge.

Over time, people would adapt to the idea of being enslaved and obedient. By then, even if the young emperor was thrown in front of them, they would only kneel and beg for mercy, not resist.

Once the idea of lowly obedience was formed, even if happiness was right in front of them, they would still ask their master if they could take it.

At this moment, Najenda slowly began to explain: “The corrupt Empire has already made the people suffer. Even if the Path of Peace rebellion is stopped, there will be other rebellions elsewhere.”

She tightly gripped her mechanical right hand and stated firmly: “This country, it’s time for it to end!”

“Is that so… Sacrifice, is it unavoidable…” Ieyasu murmured to himself, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

“I think we should let boss finish speaking.” Chelsea said.

Lubbock also explained: “Do you still remember what we talked about before, about the tribal rebellion and the Northern Warriors?”

“Of course I remember, they were all suppressed by Esdeath.” Ieyasu said.

“It’s good that you remember. The reason they failed was because they were fighting alone. The current Empire is still very strong. The Path of Peace rebellion is also a matter of time and will soon be suppressed. And it will cause a lot of casualties.” Lubbock said.

Lin Yu also nodded from the side. The Empire’s nearly thousand years of foundation was no joke. Even without Esdeath, it wasn’t something a few nobodies could defeat. Fighting alone would undoubtedly be suicidal.

“This is where the Revolutionary Army comes in.” A glint flashed in Najenda’s eyes as she slapped her right hand on the sand table map. “While the Path of Peace is launching its armed uprising, the Western foreign tribes, who are our allies, will also begin their attack.”

“This way, the Imperial Capital will face enemies both internally and externally. But even then, the Empire can cope. At this point, the Revolutionary Army will launch a decisive uprising in the south, marching towards the Imperial Capital… and overthrowing the Empire.”

“So it’s the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it…” Ieyasu realized.

Lin Yu also thought the plan was excellent. Attacking from the southeast and west would tie down the Empire’s local forces and some armies, such as Esdeath’s army. This would prevent these vital forces from providing support, and then the Revolutionary Army would thrust like a sharp knife directly into the heart.

Najenda spoke again at this moment: “Currently, the Empire has not taken the Revolutionary Army seriously, only considering us a motley crew.”

“Our base is on the border of the Empire. From the base to the Imperial Capital, there are several checkpoints and cities. But we have convinced and defected most of the city lords, allowing us to advance quickly towards the Imperial Capital with almost no losses.”

“At this time, the Empire’s ace, Budo, will go to meet us with his Imperial Guard. This will greatly reduce the defensive strength within the palace. And at that time… that will be the best time for us to assassinate the Minister.”

“We will break into the palace and bury the Minister!” Akame revealed Murasame, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. One strike would be enough to kill the Minister, but they had to be wary of the Minister’s Imperial Arm. If the Imperial Arm was destroyed, many factors would arise, ultimately leading to the Minister’s escape.

“Well said, I must personally crush this culprit.” Leone said grimly, baring her fangs and claws.

“However…” Najenda added, “As a price for helping us, the Western foreign tribes demand that we return their former territories.”

“Return?!” Lin Yu was a little surprised. Land never belonged to anyone; it only belonged to the strong. If one had to say, its owner belonged to all things, not humans.

It wasn’t about staying for a long time; this thing was yours; you had to speak with your fists. He didn’t reject the actions of the Western foreign tribes. From a moral standpoint, this land was theirs.

But many things couldn’t be obtained simply by relying on morality. In this world where might made right, fists were the hard truth. So-called morality and rules were just a ridiculous fig leaf that any strong person could tear off and trample on.

If Blue Star could cultivate immortals, probably more than half of the people would be demon cultivators challenging the rules.

Lin Yu smiled and shook his head. Fellow Daoist, entering my Grandmist Purple Qi Human Emperor Banner is not just talk.

“Yes, part of the Empire’s land was indeed encroached upon from the Western foreign tribes.” Mine sat on the chair, head bowed, appearing heartbroken. “Just like fate…”

“Mine…” Lin Yu looked at Mine. Despite never enjoying the benefits of the Western foreign tribes, because of her mixed blood, she still felt a sense of belonging. Even though her childhood was tragic, she still wanted to create a fair country.

Then Najenda continued: “As long as the Empire is quickly overthrown, it can alleviate the inner flames of the people. The faster we act, the less bloodshed there will be. Ieyasu, do you understand now?” Najenda’s gaze fell on Ieyasu.

“I understand. I apologize for interrupting you.” Ieyasu lowered his head, his tone sincere.

Susanoo raised a question: “Since everything has already been planned, then whether it can be achieved depends on this task, right?”

Najenda couldn’t help but praise: “Susanoo is right, truly worthy of being my Imperial Arm!”

This made Lubbock very jealous.

“But now, the Path of Peace, which holds the key to everything, is wavering internally…”
