Chapitre 20: Mission Begins
Two days later, the boss of Night Raid, Najenda, returned. Upon seeing Lin Ye and the others, her first reaction was to flee.
(This base is currently the base originally used in the anime.)
The first thought that came to Najenda's mind was an enemy ambush.
However, after Bullat, Akame, and the others explained and welcomed Lin Ye, Najenda expressed her hope to do their part to overthrow the Empire. Lin Ye, however, could only decline since he had not yet made a decision.
The appearance of an unknown country naturally first aroused Najenda's vigilance. No matter how beautiful the other party's words were, it couldn't change the essence of pursuing their own interests.
Nevertheless, it was highly inappropriate to directly confront and order her subordinates to eliminate this vanguard force. Once the other side retaliated, as Akame said, with a population of 1.3 billion and two million active soldiers, it would be a disaster for the Empire, the Revolutionary Army, and even the surrounding countries.
At least, facing so many enemies, Najenda couldn't imagine how many people could stand against them.
Maybe Esdeath could, but the others, even General Budo and Najenda herself, dared not make that conclusion.
"I hope they truly seek cooperation!"
In the conference room with Akame, Bullat, and other Night Raid members finishing their meeting, Najenda clasped her fingers and elbows on the table, moving her lips slightly as if reminding herself.
Late at night.
Without informing Night Raid and the others, Lin Ye prepared to start the rescue operation according to the assigned task.
According to information sent by the intelligence personnel, Sayo and Ieyasu, childhood friends of this world's protagonist, were taken away last night. Although it was already a bit late, there was still a great hope that the two could be saved or even kept intact.
No matter what, Lin Ye wasn't prepared to have a bad relationship with the protagonist. After all, in any world, the consequences of going against the protagonist would not be good, even if the male protagonist of this world died at the end of the story.
However, because they didn't have the advantage of advanced combat capabilities, they could only choose this method. Although very frustrating, it was the only option.
After all, they were clearly weak now. Perhaps there would be breakthroughs in Teigu research or biological research in the future, and they would have a leap in individual combat power, enabling them to ignore the powerful people in this world.
But that wasn't feasible now.
"Number 1 has arrived and found three guards at the main gate."
"Number 2 is in position, and there are two guards at the side door."
The microphone conveyed the information that everyone had arrived at the designated location. Just looking at Akame beside him, Lin Ye felt tense. We're on a mission here, why are you coming with us?
In this operation, to avoid drawing Night Raid's attention, even the pre-battle speech was omitted.
It was fine if Lin Ye didn't hide it from Najenda. After all, the other party was a general of the Empire. Abnormal personnel changes would always reveal something, but Akame... Just thinking that the other party had undergone assassin training since childhood, Lin Ye felt relieved.
The number of people had now increased more than tenfold. At least currently, there were hundreds of people at the Night Raid base, and various monitoring equipment had also been installed.
They still trusted their vigilance abilities compared to Lubbock's threads.
In the plot, such threads didn't warn of Dr. Stylish's arrival in time. In other words, once Lubbock lost consciousness, this guard was completely ineffective.
Night Raid held occasional parties, but everyone got very drunk. Lin Ye doubted whether Night Raid's ability to survive this long was due to the world's attention.
"Operation begins." After seeing Lin Ye nod, Yang Anli issued the combat order.
"Akame, follow me and don't do anything unnecessary without my orders."
At this moment, even though the target was Akame, Lin Ye used a commanding tone.
When performing such tasks, everyone must be able to strictly follow orders. Making decisions on one's own often resulted in unnecessary damage and could even lead to mission failure.
Everyone in Night Raid might be stronger than each of the soldiers, Lin Ye acknowledged this. But in terms of discipline, they were quite lacking.
A group of assassins was actually more accurate to describe them.
A group that only followed orders and adhered to discipline was the kind of group Lin Ye expected.
Night Raid was very strong, but if Lin Ye had to choose, it would definitely be his soldiers.
However, no matter how correct his idea was, he didn't have the power to convince Night Raid, so it was all in vain.
Therefore, Lin Ye didn't provide unnecessary instruction. Instead, he used real actions to wake them up or educate them when their power exceeded Night Raid's.
Only that day, he didn't know when it would come.
Lin Ye stared into Akame's eyes with a serious expression. After seeing Akame nod, he placed his hand on her shoulder and then entered the yard.
The main goal this time was to rescue people, and to prevent too many deviations in the plot, the plan didn't intend to take the lives of this family.
Without this deception, the protagonist wouldn't grow. At least for now, that line couldn't be moved.
It might be a pity not to deal with this family, but compared to the potential future benefits, Lin Ye could only do this.
Anyway, the sins the other party had to pay wouldn't decrease.
Military dogs were more suitable for search tasks than humans. Even though the intelligence personnel had informed them of which house, unless the description in the text was very clear, it would be impossible to find it correctly in a short time.
Therefore, Lin Ye brought a trained military dog sensitive to the smell of blood in the air. After stating his intention, the military dog sniffed the air, then ran toward Lin Ye. Under the guidance of the military dog, Lin Ye and the other five headed to the appropriate place. The special forces soldiers quickly subdued the guards they encountered on the way and slit their throats with daggers.
Such clean and neat actions made Akame suspect that the other party was also an assassin.
However, the military uniforms on the other party still made Akame regard them as soldiers. But honestly, there was no difference between what an assassin and a soldier were doing at this moment.
Of course, this also drew her attention. It was amazing that this military dog could be trained to this extent.
Training each dangerous species required a lot of time and effort.
