Tazmi is a young man from a border village. In order to save the village from its predicament, he made an agreement with his friends Sayu and Iyeas to go to the imperial capital to make a name for himself, and then return home in glory.
However, on the way to the Imperial Capital, he was attacked by bandits and separated from his friends. Therefore, Tazmi, who arrived at the Imperial Capital one step behind, couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when entering the bustling Imperial Capital.
But fortunately, Tazmi, who was visiting the Imperial Capital for the first time, was very lucky and soon met two "good people" on the streets of the Imperial Capital.
The other parties were a eldest sister with blond hair and a stunning figure, and a black-haired boy about the same age as herself and very handsome.
Their names were Leonai and Wood respectively. When they met them for the first time on the street, they recognized that they were from other places and enthusiastically helped them.
"Tazmi, are you really not going to have some? Although many things in the Empire are disgusting, this wine is still quite good."
"That's right, that's right. You can't drink this wine in the countryside. It's a rare trip to the imperial capital. It would be a pity not to try it."
Looking at Leonai and Wood who looked like drunkards in front of them, Tazmi smiled and declined their kindness.
It's not that Tazmi doesn't give them face, it's that he doesn't know how to drink and has never drank before.
Wine is made from grain, and their village is too poor to open the pot, so the remaining grain can be used to make wine.
"Mr. Wood, Sister Leonai, forget about drinking or anything like that, you said you know people in the army, can you really recommend me to join the Imperial Army directly?"
Although it cost a lot of money to treat the two people in front of him to drink, Tazmi thought it was worth it as long as he could find a way to join the Imperial Army.
Even Tazmi didn't expect that she was so lucky that she could meet such friendly people just after arriving in the imperial capital.
Maybe when Sayu, Iyeas and the others arrive in the imperial capital, he may have already made a splash and make them look at him with admiration.
What the old village chief said is indeed true. Although the outside world is dangerous, there are still mostly good people.
"Just rest assured, I used to be a member of the Hun Emperor Corps, and I was also the general's bodyguard.
It's just that there are too many rules in the army, so I resigned. With your strength, you can join the Imperial Army and you will be a squad leader at the right start."
It's not that Tazmi is too trusting, it's that Wood in front of him talks about the army in a very clear and logical manner, and he doesn't look like he's lying at all.
"Really? You started out as squad leader? Thank you so much, Mr. Wood."
Hearing what Wood said, the cute young boy Tazmi suddenly showed a look of excitement. He even imagined in his mind that he had become the squad leader, and his fellow villagers Sayu and Iyeas called him "sir."
picture.
"Of course, you can kill intermediate dangerous species on your own, and it's more than enough to be an empire squad leader.
But you also know that because I left the Imperial Army a long time ago, although I still have some connections, but sometimes when I need help from someone, if I go there empty-handed, it’s always like..."
As Wood spoke, he showed a rather embarrassed expression, and the tip of his right thumb and index finger continued to rub back and forth, as if to hint something to Tazmi.
After hearing what Wood said and the movements of his hands, Tazmi quickly rummaged through her pockets to find her bag, and quickly piled all the bounties she had earned from killing dangerous species on Wood's table.
In front of Leonai.
The young man had never seen the world, but he was not a fool. He knew quite well what Wood meant.
And he also believed that what Wood did did was not wrong. After all, if you don't benefit from asking for help, how can you try your best?
"It's a lot more than I thought. Maybe I can look forward to it. Maybe I can be more than just a squad leader."
After weighing the bag of gold coins handed over by Tazmi, Wood and Leonai both smiled happily and promised that the matter would be left to them. Then they took the bag and looked at Tazmi's expectant eyes.
I left the tavern.
"That boy seems to have a good nature. I can't bear to deceive such a country boy."
Wood and Leonai had just walked out of the tavern. The blonde and busty sister obviously had a good impression of the brown-haired boy just now, and she said this with a somewhat guilty expression.
"We are teaching him how to behave. The imperial capital is a big dyeing vat. If you believe others' words so casually, how can you live here in the future?
Moreover, that young man's strength is indeed good, enough to protect himself in the imperial capital. With his ability, he should not starve to death. This time, he should spend money to buy a lesson.
If you feel guilty, there is no need to share the money, I will help you bear your troubles."
Hearing what Wood said, the remaining guilt on Leonai's face disappeared in an instant. Wood was not wrong, they just taught the innocent country boy a lesson, but the tuition fee
It's just a little more expensive.
Wood and Leonai, who had received a large amount of money for no reason, originally wanted to find a new tavern to have a big fight. However, when passing by the tavern, they unexpectedly saw the mark left by the "Night Raid" on the wall.
.
When they saw this mark, Wood and Leonai knew that the wine would probably not be finished because there was a mission coming.
The stronghold of ngtrad is located in the mountains ten kilometers north of the imperial capital. It usually accepts the entrustment of the residents of the imperial capital to eliminate corrupt bureaucrats, villains, etc., with the ultimate goal of assassinating Minister Ernest, the source of corruption in the empire.
The reason why ngtrad is called Night Raid is because the information about the team members is confidential and will not be recorded. Because they are good at killing at night, they have the codename Night Raid.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Leonai and Wood arrived at the stronghold, everyone else seemed to have been waiting for a long time, or in other words, except for Wood and Leonai, they
Apart from that, few other people go to the Imperial Capital during the day for activities.
"You two guys, are you sneaking away to drink again? Your job is obviously to collect intelligence about the imperial capital. Is it really okay to spend a day without doing your job?
b, please talk about them too, if this continues, they will become drunkards sooner or later."
As soon as Leonai and Wood entered the door, a girl with two ponytails frowned and covered her nose because the smell of alcohol on their bodies was too strong.
"Wood, I have already said that if there are no special circumstances, you should try not to go to the imperial capital for activities. Leonai will be responsible for the intelligence work.
You, Brand, Chitong and the others have long been on the empire's wanted list, and it will be very troublesome if you are recognized."
Regarding Leonai and Wood's habit of hanging out in taverns all year round, Najexitan did not criticize them too much, because she also likes to drink.
At the same time, she also knew that Leonai would hang out in various taverns in the empire, not just because he liked drinking, but because a place like a tavern, where good and bad people were mixed, was indeed the best place to collect intelligence.
Seeing that Najiexitan did not accuse the two of them too much, Ma Yin originally wanted to say more, but Wood on the side quickly pulled her aside and took out the exquisite small cake that had been prepared long ago.
"This is the hottest selling cake in the Imperial Capital recently. I bought it specially for you to eat. B has summoned us back this time. Obviously there is a task for us to complete. We can talk about other things later, okay?"
Looking at the exquisite cake in front of her, the arrogant girl with twin ponytails snorted and snatched what was in Wood's hand, and then stood aside as expected, no longer dragging Wood and the others to drink.
"B, what kind of difficult target is this time that needs to worry so many of us?"
Without Ma Yin's interference, the topic was back on track again. Leonai was also quite surprised when Najiexitan summoned all of them for a night attack.
It is estimated that since the establishment of "Night Raid", all of them have acted together only a handful of times. Unless it is an extremely difficult target, they rarely act in groups, but in groups of two.
"Yeah, b, let's forget about the others. Even Wood, Chitong and Brand have to participate in this mission. Is the enemy really that strong?"
It has been some time since everyone has been together in the "Night Raid". As companions who watch and help each other, Wood and the others have already known each other's personalities and strengths, just like Wood would buy cakes in advance to coax Ma Yin.
Everyone who was involved in the night attack also knew that although Najiexitan was the leader of their assassination team, she was not the strongest.
If there were three major forces involved in the night attack, then it should be Wood, Chitong and Brand.
Generally speaking, if the three of them are sent out together, it will be a really big task. It may even be to assassinate a certain general of the empire or to attack the minister directly.
"No, you are too worried. The reason why all of you are sent out this time is just because there are a lot of assassination targets. I am worried that if there are two people, someone will be able to escape and the information will be exposed, so I asked you to come together.
dispatched.
This is the goal of this mission. Take a look for yourselves and start taking action in the evening."
Najiexitan held a cigarette in her mouth and threw out some information, which was their assassination target this time.
"It turns out they are a family, and I have indeed heard about their evil deeds for a long time.
This wealthy businessman's family is not a good person, especially the daughter of the family, who is obviously the youngest, but has the most vicious personality. This mission is exactly what I want."
The information Najexitan threw out was that of a wealthy businessman in the empire. On the surface, this wealthy businessman and his family were sanctimonious, but secretly they were even more devilish than the devil.
The family likes to take in beggars or strangers wandering the streets of the imperial capital, and then bring these people home with hypocritical faces. In order to satisfy their perverted hobbies, they brutally and inhumanely kill these wanderers.
The target of this "night attack" is not just one or two, but the entire family of this wealthy businessman!
The rich businessman family of three who are the masterminds are not good people, but the guards who help him deserve their death.
As night fell, Tazmi, who was about to fall asleep, heard a noise coming from the mansion and immediately walked out of the room with her sword in hand.
And when he came to the corridor outside the room, he saw an absolutely unforgettable moment.
A beautiful girl with long black hair and wearing a black sailor suit actually held a long knife under the moonlight and was carrying out a bloody massacre on the people in the mansion!
As the benefactor who took her in, the girl Arya, who was even regarded as an angel in the world by Tazmi, although she was constantly running away under the protection of the guards, the black-haired girl as the killer was like the god of death, constantly harvesting the guards.
s life.
Seeing Arya's life hanging by a thread, Tazmi, who had a strong sense of justice, naturally would not turn a blind eye. She rushed in front of her and helped her block Chitong's fatal knife.
"You are not the target of death, but if you hinder me, I will kill you too!"
Before Chitong carried out the mission, he had read the list of all the targets to be killed, and Tazmi was obviously not on the list.
But Chitong's idea is also very simple. Arya's family are all devils in human skin, and they would choose to protect such people, so Tazmi is probably not a good person.
Facing the decisive and powerful Chitong, Tazmi was also full of doubts at this moment. Why would a good person like Arya be assassinated by a killer? Could it be that in the imperial capital,
Are good people the vulnerable group?
Seeing Arya, one of the most important mission targets, gradually running away, Chitong became a little anxious. Even if Tazmi was not the mission target, she began to choose not to show mercy.
Tazmi, who was already under great pressure, naturally had no choice but to fight when Chitong became serious. After only a few rounds, she fell to the ground.
When she saw the blade slashing towards her, Tazmi even instinctively closed her eyes.
I never thought that my journey to the imperial capital would end like this before it officially started...
However, Tazmi felt that it was worth it to protect such a kind person like Arya with her own life.
"Ding------!"
Under the moonlight, two long knives collided in the air, and a large number of sparks flew out. When hearing the sound of gold and iron clashing so close at hand, Tazmi also opened her eyes in confusion.
"Young man, never close your eyes in battle, because that means accepting death.
There is nothing to be anxious or afraid of, as long as a person is still alive, there is a possibility of a comeback!"
Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Tazmi opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
And just as surprised as him was the beautiful black-haired girl who was the killer. In other words, rather than surprise, the emotion shown by the beautiful black-haired girl in front of them was more of confusion.
"Chitong, this boy is not the bad guy you imagined. He should also be one of the deceived. Leonai and I know him.
You can continue to chase the assassination target, and just leave this young man to me."
