"I didn't expect this set of Thousand Rock armor to have such unexpectedly good results."
Most of the army had already set out, while Hysilens, as the leader of the army, stood in the rear with a small group of soldiers, observing the battle situation of the soldiers in front.
If it were just an ordinary siege, there would naturally be no need to send out Hysilens, a Daughter of the Sea. After all, she was the number one powerhouse under Caesar.
But this attack on the city had a special significance: it was to test the Northern Territory Empire's latest equipped armor!
The raw material was the scales of a Super Danger Beast hunted in the snowy mountains a while ago. Because the material was hard, it was specially made into the form of armor.
Similar to the "Oni Possession" and "Grand Chariot" native to akame ga kill, it was an all-encompassing armor. From external observation, it was impossible to judge who the personnel inside were.
At the same time, to enhance the combat effectiveness of the users, Cerydra specially equipped each set of armor with different forms of weapons.
Swords, bows, spears.
In this way, the equipped personnel could form effective combat power and adapt to different types of battlefields.
Because 9,999 scales were removed, there were 9,999 sets of armor, hence it was named "Millelith."
The equipment was also named accordingly: Thousand Rock Armor, Thousand Rock Spear, Thousand Rock Longbow, Thousand Rock Sword.
However, Cerydra had also considered the issue of Teigu's existence, which was that most Teigu could be used by anyone, regardless of friend or foe.
So, to ensure that this weapon would not be abused, Cerydra specially set a restriction for these armors...
Only those with justice in their hearts could use them!
This restriction was indeed quite significant, leading to the fact that although there were over 9,000 sets within the Northern Territory Empire, currently only 500 people could equip them.
Of course, this set of Thousand Rock armor was mostly used by ordinary people. Most Golden Descendantss already possessed special powers, so there was no need to equip it.
"In this way, our army can possess combat power not inferior to the Golden Descendantss!"
Watching the siege battle about to be decided, Hysilens nodded slightly, expressing her approval of this set of armor.
But just at this moment, the feeling of being watched suddenly entered her mind, and soon made Hysilens alert.
Was it an Assassin sent by the Empire?
No, that's not right... There didn't seem to be any hostility in the gaze, and there were no concealment techniques. Maybe they were civilians?
Following the direction from which the gaze came, Hysilens turned her head to look at those who were watching her.
It didn't matter if she didn't look, but once she looked, an accident happened.
"Two little black fish? And why do they look so familiar?"
After a brief thought, combined with the color of the two little girls' pupils, Hysilens immediately judged their identities.
Aren't these the female lead and her sister?
Akame, Kurome!
Hysilens, who had watched akame ga kill, immediately recalled the information from the original work. Akame and Kurome seemed to have lived a life of begging for a period of time when they were young, then were captured by the Empire, sent to an institution that trained Assassins, and simultaneously became Assassins within the Empire. Later on, they rebelled and became members of Night Raid...
Looking at the two sisters' current appearance, they didn't seem to have joined the Empire?
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but..."
Do I really want to let such children walk the bloody fate from the original work?
"Forget it, this is not something I should consider. First, send them to the Golden Welfare Institute, and let them decide what they want to do in the future..."
"But then again, my luck has been pretty good lately, actually finding three little ones with potential in a row? It seems that using the 'Golden Welfare Institute' to accommodate those wandering children is indeed a good method."
And looking at the appearance of those two little ones, it was obvious that they had discovered that she had noticed them, so she simply didn't hide it.
"You guys also join the battlefield, end the battle as quickly as possible, I'll be right back."
After giving instructions to the people around her, Hysilens looked at the location where Akame and Kurome were before. I don't know if it was because of fear or some other reason, but their figures had actually disappeared?
"Since your tracks have been discovered by the whale, you can't escape, two cute little black fish~"
As the last words fell, Hysilens's figure leaped high and flew straight towards the direction where the two little girls had disappeared.
—
"The Northern Country... seems a bit different from the rumors!"
Akame's expression was a bit panicked. Clearly, a while ago on the road, she had also collected information about the Northern Country. Except for those nobles, most people also had a good impression of the Northern Country, which was why Akame had been firm in her determination to head north.
But she had just arrived here, and she saw the Northern Country's army besieging a city... What was this?
American dream shattered?
"Must escape quickly, if we fall into their hands..."
"If you fall into our hands, what will happen?"
A strange voice suddenly came from her ear, and Akame's little expression immediately froze. The young girl didn't dare to look to the side, fearing that she would see some unexpected terrifying creature, but the voice beside her didn't stop at all.
"What's wrong, little one? Are you worried that I will lay a hand on you?"
"For this point, please rest assured, Caesar's army will not bully children. I just want to take you to a safer place."
As the welcome fell, Akame only felt a whirlwind, and then she and her sister landed in a warm embrace, and could even feel a bit of softness...
"Let go of me and my sister quickly! You... who are you?"
"I am the big whale that catches little black fish!"
Akame struggled, wanting to get out of the embrace, but when that bad guy who hugged her revealed her true face, Akame was stunned.
What a beautiful big sister!
And the expression on her face was so warm, completely devoid of the filth of those nobles!
The reason why Akame could survive in the slums for so long without being caught by others was, in the end, because she had her own skills.
Perhaps her strength was not strong enough, and she had no way to face the Empire's soldiers and Assassins, but she did have some ability to read people.
The nobles of the Empire, and the soldiers... were all filthy guys. As long as she stayed away from them, she could ensure the safety of herself and her sister.
But this big sister in front of her... how should she put it?
Pure?
Sorry, Akame couldn't think of a better word for the time being, but this was indeed the most suitable thing she felt from the other party.
As pure as seawater, and as profound as seawater...
Such a beautiful person, and that pleasant voice, absolutely could not be the same as those scum of the Empire!
So, in this warm embrace, the black-haired, red-eyed girl gradually gave up struggling and chose to lean into her embrace.
"You've become well-behaved, two little black fish..."
"Rest assured and sleep, after you wake up, you will get rid of your current life, and you will have more good friends!"
"...And have the right to decide your own future!"
