The number of people transported here by the distorted chaos probably exceeds several hundred thousand!
Chapter 220 Live Broadcast! The entire Empire: We've become clowns!?
"Let's just use magic."
"magic……?"
Upon receiving Bai Li's orders, Levi and Mai set off together to find the four members of NIGHTRAID who were hiding in the forest stronghold.
Under Hill's questioning gaze, Ravelle constructed a golden, flowing platform.
As Mai stepped on it, she looked at Hill, who was standing there in a daze.
"Come on up, we'll go find your companions next."
"A flying platform..."
"Is there anything strange?"
"Or rather, they're all very strange."
After Hill couldn't help but complain, she could only smile wryly as she faced one unexpected situation after another, and had no choice but to accept it all.
And so, the three of them stood on the magic platform and began to fly toward their destination.
Midway through the journey, Mai started talking to Levi with some questions in her mind.
"Since Lord Baili knows the location of those people, he should have been able to teleport them directly to our location. Why didn't he do that?"
“That makes sense, Miss Mai. However, I think Lord Baili made this arrangement to give those people enough time to prepare.”
"Perhaps that's the case..."
Mai nodded, agreeing with this statement.
After hearing this conversation, Hill also chose to join in.
"To be honest, if it were anyone else, they would probably launch an attack immediately upon seeing you..."
As for the reason.
"Recently, the Empire has intensified its efforts to hunt down NIGHTRAID members, planting spies in many villages, cities and regions, forcing everyone to act cautiously to ensure that no accidents occur."
This is also why Hill and Chelsea didn't immediately take action to defeat the soldiers and protect the village.
If the existence of NIGHTRAID were exposed, and the information reached the capital, the entire forest would likely be burned down by the Empire's pursuers.
Is the empire really that bad?
Unfamiliar with this world, Raville asked another question.
This topic made Hill's expression darken.
She responded with a serious expression.
"The Empire is capable of committing every evil deed that the two of you can imagine."
"..."
"..."
Hill's words silenced Mai and Levi.
It seems that the darkness of this world is very similar to that of the world invaded by Gastrea.
"In the eyes of those in power in the empire, everyone except themselves and their allies is a tool to be sacrificed; some nobles, believing in heresies, will directly kill all the boys and girls in an entire village and use their blood to make food; there are also children of high-ranking officials who will specifically seek out lovers and make the lovers cut off each other's tongues, ears, noses, etc., until one of them dies before the game stops, and these are the mildest of the brutal acts..."
Hill recounted the information he knew.
These horrific and inhumane acts are simply the most common darkness in this plane of existence.
"Aren't there any dissidents within the empire?"
"Of course there are. The leader of NIGHTRAID, who is also my boss, used to serve in the Empire as a general. Later, he couldn't accept the Empire's brutality and chose to defect. The leader knew very well that he couldn't change everything from within the Empire by his own strength. Moreover, the Empire was basically controlled by a minister named Ernest, who manipulated the young emperor to carry out endless tyrannical politics. At the same time, he would have his assassination squad eliminate all resistance. Even if the Moon*Ripple-Shou*Fa had the slightest sign of resistance, it would be wiped out, so that there were no dissenting voices within the Empire."
Hill said a lot, but all he wanted to say was that the empire had no reason to exist.
If it weren't for its vast wealth accumulated over thousands of years, it would probably have been overthrown long ago.
"What a terrible world..."
Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but sigh.
The dimension she lived in also had darkness, but it wasn't as outrageous as the empire in this world.
"We're getting there."
At this point in the conversation, Rachel looked ahead.
Moving the gaze downwards, in a grove of trees, at the base of the intertwined branches of several large trees lies NIGHTRAID's newest stronghold.
After seeing this, Hill finally understood that Baili truly understood this world.
Everything seemed to be going according to his plan...
As the platform began to descend, Mai Sakurajima said to Hill beside her.
"You can rest assured from now on, Miss Hill. Baili Jun said he would solve the world's problems within an hour, and he will definitely be able to do it."
“I hope Mr. Baili isn’t joking, but the truth is no one can do it. The empire is incredibly brutal, but also exceptionally powerful. If anyone could easily destroy it, then… it would have to be a god.”
"I see. It seems that Baili Jun meets the requirements."
"what?"
As Hill looked on in confusion, the platform landed on the ground.
To avoid a conflict between the two sides, Hill did not continue the previous topic and instead walked out.
"Everyone, I'm back. The two ladies behind me are not enemies!"
After saying this, Hill raised his weapon.
"Look, I wasn't threatened."
"We're so happy you're back, but... where's Chelsea? Was she left behind as a hostage?"
An answer came from the woods.
Hill shook his head
"No, their goal is the same as ours: to destroy the Empire, and they have already defeated a group of Imperial soldiers."
"Defeated the Imperial soldiers?" (For thrilling novels, visit Feilu Novels!)
As we discussed this, a new commotion arose from the woods...
Levi was also sensing things at that moment.
“There was one person in front, behind, left, and right; they surrounded the scene.”
"It's okay, as long as they don't make a move, we can talk."
While Sakurajima Mai was on guard, she heard Hill continue speaking.
"Please come out, everyone. I can assure you that they have no hostility and can become allies against the Empire."
Before the words were finished, one person stepped out of the shadows first.
She is a short-haired woman with armor covering her right arm.
"leader……!"
Hill looked ahead and saw Najendan, the leader of NIGHTRAID.
Meanwhile, from other directions, Leone, Mine, and Akame also emerged one by one.
“Hill, let’s get to know your two guests.”
Before Najendan could finish speaking, a picture suddenly appeared in front of her.
what? !
As Najenda was puzzled, she discovered that Leone, Mine, Akame, and the others were in the same situation.
Levi and Mai looked at the screen and knew very well that it was Baili's masterpiece.
The scene shows an uncountable crowd!
"Those are... Imperial soldiers?"
Akame recognized her immediately.
“Not just soldiers, but also the nobles we’ve been eyeing.”
Mine also spotted some very conspicuous people dressed in fine clothes, all of whom were in the front row.
"This number must be at least two or three hundred thousand, right? And there are even high-ranking officials of the empire among them! Is this some kind of illusory portrait?!"
Leone, utterly astonished, reached out to touch it, but it passed right through the image.
It was clearly just a projection for them to watch.
"It's being broadcast live."
After Mai finished speaking, Hill looked at her.
"Miss 3.2, are you referring to these images when you say 'live broadcast'? Are they all real?"
"Of course, you're saying the people in the picture are all Imperial soldiers and high-ranking officials, right? That makes things easier..."
Mai Sakurajima, facing the Night Raid members, added a sentence.
"Next, let's see how they are punished by the gods."
After saying this, Mai Sakurajima heard the mournful cries of many soldiers on the screen through the projection.
Because they failed to protect their master, they were executed on the spot by the nobles on the grounds that the incompetent should be punished.
"These guys are clowns..."
Akame made her assessment with a look of disgust, then suddenly noticed something.
"That's... Black Eyes?!"
Not only the empire's soldiers and nobles, but all of the empire's elite appeared in the scene.
Hill couldn't believe it; only one thought occupied his mind.
