Chapter 153: Will

Luo Feng fell heavily to the ground. The long-term sword riding made it difficult for his True Qi at the Qi Condensation fifth layer to sustain, but it was good as long as he could save Brand.

“Luo Feng…”

At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, Luo Feng heard Akame’s concerned shout, and then felt himself fall into a soft embrace.

The sunset was descending, and the lingering sunlight of dusk dyed the entire heaven and earth crimson. In a border town far from the Imperial Capital, dozens of corpses were piled into a small mountain, and the glaring fresh blood almost dyed the entire town red.

A petite girl wearing a black sailor suit sat on the mountain of corpses, as if she could not smell the fishy stench of blood at all. She placed a package of cookies on her legs and constantly took small bites to eat.

The girl had black hair and black eyes, with two tiny braids tied behind her head. Her expression was dumb cute and adorable when she ate.

Most importantly, the girl’s appearance was almost exactly the same as Akame’s. If not for the different hairstyle and body size, it would be almost difficult to distinguish the difference between the two.

Of course, there were also those black eyes that sparkled like starlight.

Below the small mountain of corpses, a man and a woman were earnestly checking if there were any survivors.

“Hei Tong, the Imperial Capital has issued an order to summon you back.”

“Oh?” Hei Tong threw the remaining half of the cookie in her hand into her mouth, chewed carefully, and asked: “Just me alone?”

“Yes, it seems you were selected as one of the six people to form some kind of group.”

Hei Tong slowly stood up, looked at the sunset that had almost completely disappeared in the distance, patted the dust off her skirt with her small hands, and revealed a cute and obedient smile on her face. “The Imperial Capital? That’s fine. Maybe… I can see you there, sister…”

At the Night Raid Base, Luo Feng’s body already had no discomfort at all. The injuries of Mine and Sheele had also completely recovered. Regarding the Teigu obtained from the Three Beasts, Luo Feng tried them, but Xiao Meng did not activate the Plunder ability again.

However, these three Teigu were not of much use to Luo Feng. Luo Feng possessed the ability endowed by Zhen Ji, so he could manipulate water flow himself, though it was not as heaven-defying as the Teigu.

As for the flute sound that controlled emotions, Luo Feng simply did not understand music theory and was not interested in this ability.

The final pair of axes went without saying; they were just weapons that enhanced attack power, considered the most mediocre among Teigu.

Early in the morning, the air was fresh and cool. Everyone was actively training, but Boss Najecshitan walked out carrying a package that was almost bigger than a person.

Luo Feng looked at Najecshitan’s slender and curvy figure, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It was really impressive that the Boss could carry such a huge burden!

“Next, I prepare to hand over the Teigu collected from the Three Beasts to Headquarters. Akame, while I am not here, I leave Night Raid to you.”

“Oh… I roughly understand.” A dumb cute expression appeared on Akame’s face, which really made it hard for people to feel at ease.

Najecshitan put down the burden, lit a cigarette, and said: “My trip to Headquarters this time also has the purpose of replenishing new members. After all, once someone in Night Raid is injured, we face the problem of insufficient manpower!”

Najecshitan pinched out the cigarette butt, picked up the huge package again, and walked away step by step. “Luo Feng, you must continue to work hard next, strive to live…”

A brilliant smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face, which was exceptionally bright in the sunlight, making people’s mood couldn’t help but become happy. “Don’t worry, Boss, I won’t die, and everyone won’t die either.”

The corners of Najecshitan’s mouth curled up into a smile. She did not turn around but just waved her arm to say goodbye to everyone.

Stepping on the green grass, Najecshitan raised her head to look into the distance. According to the message Leone investigated, Esdeath seemed to be preparing to form a special unit composed entirely of Teigu users. The challenge for Night Raid was becoming more and more difficult…

In the Imperial Capital cemetery, Esdeath wore blue general’s clothes, looking valiant and heroic. Her ice blue long hair dragged to her calves, as if she possessed a layer of sparkling frost behind her.

Esdeath placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the Three Beasts’ grave, her eyes slightly lowered. “You lost just because you were too weak. The weak being eliminated is a matter of course.”

Esdeath touched the tombstone of the Three Beasts, and then sighed. “Truly a group of helpless subordinates. Your revenge will have to be reported by me.”

Esdeath slowly walked away. “Today, the new Teigu user should have arrived…”

In front of the Imperial Capital city gate, a man wearing blue clothes raised his head to look up at the huge city gate, with astonishment in his eyes.

The man had a head of purple-black short hair, a handsome face, and his skin glowed with a healthy wheat-colored light.

Luo Feng arrived behind the man and looked at the white cloth bag on his back. Several fish heads stuck out from the damaged cloth bag, their mouths opening and closing. It was really unknown how the man kept these fish alive.

He gently patted the man’s shoulder. The man jumped up neurotically and shouted: “Who, who is ambushing me?”

Luo Feng’s face was slightly astonished, but he quickly adjusted and put on a brilliant smile. “I am not ambushing you. I only saw you standing here for a long time and wanted to ask if you needed help.”

“Uh…” The man touched his head in embarrassment, and then gave a dry laugh: “No need, thanks.”

“Do not have to.” Luo Feng looked with a smile at Will. The corner of his eye landed on the long sword at Will’s waist. That was an Armor-type Teigu of the same type as Demon Possession.

Luo Feng knew the plot in advance, so he naturally knew that during this time, Esdeath would form a team composed of Teigu users, so he waited here early.

Will’s heart was innocent and kind. He only joined the army because a Navy soldier had shown him kindness. This time, he responded to the summons to come to the Imperial Capital.

Will did not know about the corruption of the Imperial Capital, so he would guard the Imperial Capital and crusade against Night Raid.

Luo Feng was not thinking about making Will change sides immediately. After all, thoughts instilled since childhood were hard to change. Only by seeing the true scene of the Imperial Capital with his own eyes would Will find his way back.

Of course, the most important thing was that after Will joined the team composed of Teigu users, he almost played no role. This was the reason Luo Feng was not in a hurry to win him over.

This time, Luo Feng came to meet Will just to leave a good impression.

Seeing that Will was about to turn around and leave, Luo Feng suddenly asked: “Do you sell the fish in your bag?”

“Uh…” Will was stunned for a moment, and then said blankly: “This is not for sale. My mom asked me to bring this to eat together with the colleagues I will live with in the future.”

“Oh, okay.”

“However, there are quite a lot of fish. I can give you one, but no more.”

A smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face again. “Thanks.”

Will really had a straightforward personality. With just two sentences, he had already generously given the fish to Luo Feng.

So, wanting to make friends with Will was really not difficult.

“You gave me a fish, so I cannot be stingy.” Luo Feng took out a lollipop. “If there are girls among your colleagues, you can give this to her. I heard girls all like this.”

“Really? Thank you so much.” Will happily took the lollipop. After saying goodbye to Luo Feng, he turned around and walked into the Imperial Capital…
