Najehitan was a general of the empire.

Unlike those nobles who came out to be gilded, Najexitan was always on the front line during the war. Not only did she have great courage, but she also had excellent resourcefulness. Even for a woman, her appearance was first-class.

In this way, when she was young, she came to the palace to meet the emperor.

She is also the only one among the Night Raid group currently in the main hall who has been to the palace.

The last time she was here, she was entrusted with an important task together with Esdeath.

And this time besides her, Esdeath was also there.

It's just that compared to her who is still standing under the high platform and still needs to look up at the throne, Esdeath has gone up!

There were two people sitting on the seat at the top of the high platform.

The man holding his head with one hand and looking down at everything calmly, and... Sitting in his arms, although he was still wearing the military uniform, he took off his hat and neatly wore his long ice-blue hair. of tied up.

The legs are combined and tilted to the side, and the hands are naturally placed on the legs.

Elegant, noble, and even a bit gentle because of the smile on her face.

Esdeath!

Is this really the madman?

Could it be that the other party has a twin sister or something?

Or have you been brainwashed? Amnesia? Having a mental problem?

Najexitan couldn't believe that this person was the Esdeath she knew. She thought about various possibilities in her mind, but none of them could alleviate her horror.

Until she met Esdeath's eyes.

Even though Esdeath was already looking down at her, she still raised her head slightly. Although the smile on her face remained unchanged, the indifference in her eyes, as if she were looking down at ants, was immediately noticed by Najiesi. Found out.

This made Najiexitan breathe a sigh of relief, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

It seems that this is Esdeath himself!

"Your Majesty Wu Su, I am waiting for all the night raiders to arrive. Do you have any orders?"

Najiexitan, who came back to her senses, pressed her shoulder with one hand and saluted briefly. The

Night Raid members behind her also imitated her and completed the movements roughly.

"Well...no need to be polite"

"I'm not looking for you to do anything great, but to give you a choice."

"choose?"

"Yes, Najexitan, you don’t have to be nervous. The choice I’m talking about is not the kind of life and death, but something freer."

"But before that, I have to ask you something."

Having said this, Wu Su let go of Esdeath, stood up directly, and slowly walked to the front of the high platform.

His eyes were still calm, calm enough to suppress all doubts.

He said this:

"You are killers. Even if your actions can be regarded as eradicating evil and promoting good, from my perspective, I still cannot define you as justice."

"But this is just looking at the problem from a work perspective - apart from actions like killing, what are you fighting for?"

Ask us why we took up arms...

Najiexitan was slightly stunned when she heard this question, but she raised her head again, looked at Wu Su, and gave her answer without hesitation.

"There is no reason for what I said. I simply didn’t want to be swallowed up by the darkness of the empire, so I took up arms in order to protect myself."

She started, and then the Night Raid members behind her also spoke one by one.

"In order to allow the poor to fill their stomachs, in order to prevent children from being killed by the nobles at will."

This is Leonai who grew up in the slums.

"In order to get fair treatment and not let other children experience the same treatment as I was when I was a child."

This is Ma Yin, who is of mixed ethnic minority origin and has been discriminated against since she was a child.

Both of them came from very poor backgrounds, so they both had clear enough reasons. At this moment, just like Najiexitan, she gave the answer immediately.

And the rest It was different for the people below.

Hill raised his hand weakly at this time, like a curled up and trembling purple plush ball.

"Well, um, I'm sorry... I couldn't do anything well, so I did it after I discovered my talent. Is this an okay reason?……"

Hill opened his mouth, and then Lubbock, who was once the son of a businessman, scratched his face and followed with a smile.

"Ah, if you think about it, I joined here because I admire the captain."

"I, I, I..."

Chelsea, who had once become an official in the empire, had excellent grades, and might even be in the upper echelons of the empire, simply followed.

"…Although later I wanted to correct this wrong world, at first it was because I saw my boss was unhappy, so I took action when I found an opportunity~"

After the three of them finished speaking, only those who still didn't know how to speak were left. Chitong and Brand.

Seeing the two of them, Najiexi sighed and took the initiative to speak for them.

"Chitong was raised as a killer since she was a child, so for her, the reason is probably the same as Brand who was framed - it's all to survive, nothing more."

Sure enough, the reasons are similar to those in the comics. At most, they are sublimated and a little more real because of the difference in the actual situation.

For example, Lubbock came here saying that he admired Najiexitan, but in fact he came here The real reason for following Najehitan was that he was timid after encountering the dark side of the empire, so he longed for Najehittan's courage to resist decisively and never admit defeat.

He believed in that flag, not a person.

As for what the original work said about giving up everything for the sake of love, persevering in the face of danger, and never flinching or regretting until death... it can't happen in reality, right? 0..

Without firm belief or obsession, a love brain cannot do the things he has done.

Wu Su nodded while thinking.

"The things I want you to choose are actually simpler for you like this"

"I have heard the reasons for your resistance, and you should have seen the reforms that are now spreading in all directions with the imperial capital as the core."

"So in the next empire, Leonai, Mayne, your two goals will be gradually realized."

"Najexitan, Brand, Chitong, I will give you justice in the name of the emperor."

"Chelsea, it's up to you to judge whether today's empire is on the right track."

Wu Su's eyes were on Lubbock, and then he glanced over after nodding to him.

He had nothing to say.

In the end, only Hill was left.

She was actually very similar to him.

They were all. After discovering her talent, she found an opportunity and got to where she is now.

So Wu Su naturally wouldn't deny her.

"Even if the empire enters peace, things like killings are unavoidable at least in the short term - reform cannot be achieved overnight, and we may need one or even two generations to implement it."

"So you don't need to worry about unemployment, Hill."

Wu Su admitted all their reasons, then looked around for a week, and finally he told them the choice he gave them.

"Then you have no reason to continue swinging the knife, so choose - do you want to put the knife down, or continue to hold on to it?"

"If it's the former, I can forgive you for all your previous crimes, and then please enjoy your life."

"If it's the latter... That's a pity 4.8. Although I will let you go today, if I find you on the battlefield with the revolutionary army, I will kill you!"

Hearing this choice, many members of Night Raid fell into thinking.

Najiexitan was stunned for a moment, and then frowned

"Your Majesty...you mean the battlefield with the revolutionary army?"

"Since you can forgive us, why can't you forgive the revolutionary army?"

In Najiexitan's view, the war is no longer necessary.

Everything Wu Su accomplished in the imperial capital is the ideal of the revolutionary army, so the next step should be the disbandment of the revolutionary army, everyone disarms and returns to their fields, and the ending is right!

She Now she was confused.

Then as she asked, the other members of Night Raid also looked at Wu Su.

At this moment, Wu Su told them the most intuitive answer.

"The reason why I cannot forgive the Revolutionary Army is simple - because I showed the future and gave them a choice just like you today."

"Then they chose to be my enemy"
