"I want to personally see what the high-ranking officials of the Revolutionary Army are truly like in secret." Najenda squeezed her hands as she looked at the familiar Revolutionary Army Headquarters.
"God's Protection: Obscure."
Najenda used the Divine Blessing she had obtained, which allowed her to obscure herself and a ten-meter radius around her.
Whether it was scent, sight, sound, or any other perception, nothing could detect them. As long as the level of the Divine Blessing was not higher than hers, it could not be seen through.
The Revolutionary Army Headquarters had multiple Teigu Users, and there was even a Teigu that was a "Territory-Type Teigu."
The reason the Revolutionary Army was able to swiftly occupy the Southern Province in just over a decade was due to this Teigu.
In addition, there were two Teigu Users who, in her opinion, were second only to the Empire's two Great Generals: one could summon multiple large land Dangerous Species, and another could use a hammer-type Teigu that could alter terrain in a small area.
They were all responsible for protecting the safety of the Revolutionary Army's high-ranking officials.
But no matter how strong a Teigu User was, without their Teigu, they were still ordinary people and could not possibly detect the power of God's Protection.
"This is my first time at the Revolutionary Army Headquarters. I never thought it would be built like a fortress city," Leone said. Even the Empire didn't have such a massive military fortress, and how much manpower and resources would it take to build something so large?
Mine said with a complicated expression, "The Revolutionary Army Headquarters was originally a military fortress. Later, as more and more people joined the Revolutionary Army, it was continuously expanded, and then it became what it is now."
"Let's hurry inside and see," Brand urged.
"Let's go."
If there were high-level God's Grace here, they would be able to see a hemispherical barrier covering them, as if this hemispherical barrier existed in another world.
The soldiers guarding the entrance to the fortress did not notice them at all.
After entering the heavily guarded fortress, the soldiers who were constantly training and shouting also treated the Night Raid members as air. The Night Raid members moved very quickly, and in just a few minutes, they arrived at the central and largest fortress. At the entrance of the fortress, two men were drinking.
"These two are among the three Teigu Users stationed in the Revolutionary Army. In terms of strength, they are stronger than you were before you obtained your Divine Blessing."
"Not only that, there is also a humanoid Teigu, Susanoo, inside, who is the strongest among all humanoid Teigu.
Most of the soldiers are trained by him, and he can easily destroy an entire city block."
The Night Raid members were quickly drawn in by the conversation of the two Teigu Users.
"Tsk, the higher-ups are really something. All those good slaves were sold to the Western Kingdom, especially the beautiful women. I haven't even enjoyed two of them yet."
"You're right, haha. Those women thought we were sending them to a good life. How naive. But it's a pity that the village girl I fancied earlier died after only playing with her for a bit."
"What's there to regret? There are plenty of those women."
"Come, come, this is the good wine that Earl What's-his-name sent. Even the nobles in the Imperial Capital would have to save up for a month to afford a single cup."
"Cheers! We never had this kind of life before, hahaha. Even the Imperial nobles have to flatter us."
"To remain nobles even after overthrowing the Empire, those guys are really going all out, even sending their daughters to the Leader to play with, pu hahaha."
The Night Raid members watched with grim faces as the two ugly men laughed unrestrainedly, their faces contorted.
"Is this still the Revolutionary Army? How is this any different from the nobles we assassinated?" Mine's last bit of idealization for the Revolutionary Army shattered.
"So, the Revolutionary Army and the Empire are just fighting over interests. The so-called revolution is nothing more than deceiving the common people," Lubbock sighed and spread his hands. He had expected this all along, after all, he was the son of a wealthy merchant.
"Can we kill them?" Brand clenched his fists, and red aura condensed around them.
In his eyes, these two Teigu Users seemed to emit black smoke. This was the power to see good and evil that came with the Divine Blessing. Black smoke represented sin, and white smoke represented good deeds.
Ordinary people had a mix of black and white, and the colors were very faint and indistinct.
The more concentrated the color, the deeper the degree.
Whoosh!
Before Brand could act, a red arc sliced across the necks of the two Teigu Users.
"Funeral!"
Puff!
In the shadows cast by the sunlight, two fountains of blood appeared, and two heads, still bearing arrogant and ugly expressions, fell to the ground.
"Let's go in and kill the Leader, the Chief of Staff, and all the high-ranking officials," Leone said with a sinister grin, her wrists making cracking sounds.
In the spacious and luxurious hall, adorned with red and gold hues, a dozen middle-aged men sat solemnly at a long table.
The Revolutionary Army Leader, sitting at the head of the table, squinted his eyes, which were filled with coldness, completely devoid of the usual warmth he displayed when interacting with soldiers and civilians.
"Everyone, let's discuss what we should do."
"According to intelligence, The Way of Peace has completely taken control of the Eastern Province, and the number of people who can use special powers comparable to Teigu Users is estimated to exceed one thousand."
"At this rate, they will soon unify the entire Empire."
"Not only that, The Way of Peace is constantly killing those who oppose them, calling them 'sinful people' as a euphemism."
"Our Revolutionary Army will soon clash with them, and there is absolutely no possibility of mutual compromise."
"Their religion will absolutely not allow the Revolutionary Army to integrate."
The Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know how those religious fanatics obtained such power. If our Revolutionary Army had the ability to mass-produce Teigu Users, we would have overthrown the Empire long ago."
A Revolutionary Army cadre said, "It's useless to talk about that now. The most terrifying thing about those fanatics from The Way of Peace is that they actually gave land and food to the common people, and they truly lived up to their doctrines."
"This is the most fatal blow to our Revolutionary Army."
"It won't be long before our Revolutionary Army's soldiers mutiny."
The Revolutionary Army's Military Commander said grimly, "Then the only thing we can do is to quickly sell the captured slaves to the Western Kingdom, then violently seize all the wealth we can, and then escape to the Western Kingdom."
The Revolutionary Army Leader laughed, "Hehe, I thought so too. If the revolution is gone, it's gone, but a luxurious life must not be lost."
The Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff also laughed, "The wealth we've plundered from the common people over the years is enough for us to spend for generations."
A Revolutionary Army cadre: "Before we leave, we still need to plunder the women among the common people. It's good whether we enjoy them ourselves or sell them off."
The other cadres also laughed together, "Hahaha, exactly, exactly."
Just then, the laughter of one of the cadres abruptly stopped, and a red fountain of blood appeared, instantly spraying the high-ranking Revolutionary Army officials at the table.
"Huh?" The Revolutionary Army members froze and looked over.
"Ah ah ah ah ah——···—"
The nearby cadre screamed in terror.
