Time flew by, and a few more days passed.
Abel's empire was now operating perfectly, and the Northern Region was completely unified.
At the same time.
Clang!
A gourd fell to the ground, and clear liquid flowed out of it.
"This... This is really the Northern Region!?"
A blonde beast-eared girl stared in shock at everything before her, not even noticing her wine gourd had dropped to the ground.
This beast-eared girl was Leone.
She gazed in disbelief at the Northern Region, which was once covered in ice and snow, but was now vibrant with the breath of spring.
It bore no resemblance to its former appearance.
Najenda, standing beside her, also looked at the Northern Region in disbelief.
Even Akame's expression changed.
Upon entering the Northern Region, the inside and outside were completely two different worlds.
"Akame, Leone, let's go.
Let's check out the nearby town; I hope this New King can bring us a surprise."
"Mm."
"Alright, Boss."
The three walked towards the nearby village.
At the same time, the same situation was happening elsewhere.
A chubby clown and a slender, very revealing grotesque figure stood on the ground.
These two were Seryu Ubiquitous and Shamp from the Wild Hunt.
Yes, it was the one who killed student Run.
The two looked at the scene before them.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this doesn't look like a place where a battle took place at all. This isn't General Esdeath's style; shouldn't there be rivers of blood?"
"Lord Seryu, do you think Lord Esdeath might have betrayed us?"
At Shamp's words, Seryu Ubiquitous stroked his chin in thought.
Esdeath's loyalty was obvious to all; Seryu Ubiquitous would not believe she would commit treason now.
"Hmph, who cares? Let's go to the Imperial Capital first to check the situation. Maybe we can find something interesting."
"Lord Seryu, why don't we wait? I just want to find some children to play with right now. Those adorable little angels are simply too cute! So let me keep them as they are when they are young."
"Alright, but the adults are mine."
"No problem, Lord Seryu, I'm not interested in adults anyway."
As the two spoke, they walked towards the nearest village.
As the two left, a shadow moved towards the kingdom, and the same was true for Najenda's side.
Northern Region Imperial Palace.
"I didn't expect Night Raid's Boss to come personally, and also the Four Rakshasa Demons and the Wild Hunt members."
Abel collected the information, tapping his hand on the table.
He looked at the data above.
He had no good feelings for the Four Rakshasa Demons and the Wild Hunt members.
One gained pleasure from killing, while the other enjoyed killing children.
Both were scum among scum.
"Since they've come, then let them stay."
"Shadow, send one copy of both pieces of information to Esdeath."
As he spoke, a member of the Shadow Guard appeared.
He respectfully took the documents and then vanished into the ground, moving towards Esdeath's location.
Next was Run.
However, Run alone could handle at most two people.
In that case...
"Numa."
"New King!"
Numa appeared before Abel.
Abel continued, "Later, you and Run will go on a mission together. Give him this information."
"Understood."
Numa, having received his orders, vanished from his spot and headed towards Run's location.
Abel looked at the map, a smile playing on his lips.
"Since they've come, then let me have a proper reason to act."
"In a few days, I'll head south to capture the dragon!"
...
Meanwhile, in a village in the Northern Region, Leone was immediately captivated by the lively scene upon entering the village.
The villagers' faces were filled with happy smiles, and the shops lining both sides of the street were dazzling; the smiles on their faces were simply incredible.
Najenda and Akame carefully observed everything around them.
Upon seeing the strangers arrive, the villagers greeted them.
"Welcome to Beiling Village. I am the village chief here."
At this moment, an old man walked over; he was the chief of this village.
The chief continued, "Ladies, you must be from outside the Northern Region, right?"
"Yes, Village Chief."
Najenda took over the conversation, then asked, "I remember the Northern Region wasn't like this before."
Facing Najenda's question, the chief smiled proudly.
"The Northern Region used to be extremely cold, and the nobles were tyrannical and overbearing. Everyone suffered immensely."
"But since the New King ascended, life has gotten better. He solved the snowy weather and confiscated the properties of all the nobles and landlords.
Now the land has become fertile, and he has also taught us many methods for planting and raising livestock. Now everyone has work to do, food to eat, and life is getting better and better."
Listening to the old man's words, his eyes shining with hope, Najenda suddenly wanted to meet this New King.
She also knew the situation of the Revolutionary Army.
It was nothing more than replacing one group of nobles, replacing the original wicked nobles with themselves.
But it only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.
Who knew if they would turn into the same kind of ministers?
At this moment, a child ran over, pulling the chief's hand and saying, "Grandpa, I'm going to the school to study."
The chief stroked the child's head and smiled, explaining to them, "Lord Abel also set up schools so that all children can learn knowledge."
Najenda and Leone exchanged glances, their eyes full of surprise.
The few chatted for a while and then bid farewell to the old village chief.
"Alright, old sir, then we'll just wander around here directly."
Najenda and the others began to stroll.
After a while, whether it was an illusion or not, Najenda felt someone watching her.
She quickly turned her head.
Then she saw someone she shouldn't have seen.
"Esdeath!"
"Najenda, long time no see."
Akame and Leone instantly appeared in front of Najenda, blocking Esdeath.
Akame drew her sword. At this moment, a familiar voice came to her.
"Long time no see, big sister."
"Ku... Kurome!"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Run!"
"Take the children and run!!!"
In a village, a raging fire burned.
It turned out that those two scoundrels, Seryu Ubiquitous and Shamp, had already started their attack.
But they were held back by the Undead Soldiers.
The cries of children and the voices of villagers intertwined.
After dealing with the Undead before him,
Shamp excitedly chased the children, a twisted smile on his face, while Seryu Ubiquitous watched from the side, occasionally letting out strange laughter.
"Children, Lord Shamp loves you the most."
"Be good, don't cry. Shamp won't let you have the troubles of growing up."
Seryu Ubiquitous, on the other hand, was fighting the Undead Soldiers alone.
"Hahaha, interesting! So interesting!!!"
"Fighting, exhilarating!!!"
At this moment, a winged figure swiftly charged towards Shamp.
"Stop right there!!!"
Saying that, he punched Shamp in the face.
Shamp stumbled back repeatedly, then looked at Run flying in the air.
Run had a pair of pure white wings on his back; this was the Imperial Arm given to him by his lover—"Mastema: The Soaring Heavens."
After seeing who it was, Shamp looked at Run with dissatisfaction.
This guy actually interfered with his business; he had a death wish.
