" The Night Raid has been broken... the Night Raid..."
Minister Honest, like a poor young man who had just won the lottery, had a face full of delight, while General Budo and his ministers were utterly astonished.
They were astonished by Lin Feng's strength and utterly puzzled as to how Lin Feng could accomplish such terrifying feats in such a short time.
It was as if, after Esdeath, another rising star was shining brightly above them, making all their previous efforts seem meaningless. The boy's figure quickly became unattainable.
"Just you wait, one day you'll all go to hell!"
Mine was bound and could only vent her anger through verbal abuse, but Honest saw her as nothing more than a stubborn mule.
"Hahahaha!! What a laughable sight! Night Raid, you've finally met your match!"
Honest burst into laughter, his facial muscles contorting in a grimace. This must have been one of the most exhilarating and ecstatic moments of his life.
Looking at the old man's twitching face, Lin Feng felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
'I'll deal with you after this operation is over.'
With this in mind, Lin Feng began delivering a prepared speech in front of the assembled officials.
"I, Lin Feng, have brought these four ' Night Raid ' thieves to this hall today not because I don't want to kill them on the spot for my own pleasure, but because I want you all to witness the death of a member of ' Night Raid '."
"As the newly appointed Grand General, many people doubt my abilities because of my youth. But today, once you see me kill the Night Raid members, your doubts will probably vanish."
"This is of course just my personal desire, but after thinking it over, killing the members of ' Night Raid ' here is the best way to put everyone's minds at ease. It has already been confirmed that they have no intention of returning to the Imperial Capital Palace to become our forces, so please allow me to make my move."
At this point, Lin Feng suddenly rushed forward, startling General Budo with his speed.
Even Mine and Leone were taken aback.
Is this an act? What kind of speed is that?
The two men's reactions were incredibly genuine, which was exactly the effect Lin Feng wanted.
[ Alucard Template ]
[Skill: Bloodsucking - Activated]
Lin Feng activated the skill granted to him by the Alucard Template within his body; his fangs instantly lengthened, transforming into sharp fangs like those of bats and Bloodsucking.
The ministers saw it clearly: legend has it that in the Western Regions there is an Teigu called " Rapid Absorption," which can quickly absorb the blood of enemies, turning them into dried corpses, thereby gaining the enemy's power.
This was originally Dotya's Teigu, and Lin Feng had never possessed Teigu. However, the ministers now unanimously believed that Lin Feng was the owner of this Teigu.
"Laugh--!!"
Lin Feng's sharp fangs pierced Mine's nape with swift and precise movements, leaving almost no excessive wound.
Leone and Najenda, standing behind them, turned to look at the scene, a sense of unknown dread spreading through their hearts.
A large amount of blood gushed out, splashing onto Lin Feng's black robe. Soon, Mine lost consciousness; her face turned deathly pale, and she could no longer breathe.
Clearly, when the fangs pierced the carotid artery, anyone would know that death was inevitable.
After Mine came Leone, a woman with the instincts of a wild beast, struggling desperately to break free of the chains, but her hands and feet, handcuffed in reverse, had no leverage at all.
Soon, the fangs pierced through again with swift speed, spurting out a large amount of blood once more. This time, the blood even splattered onto Lin Feng's face, but Lin Feng's expression remained cold.
Najenda didn't want to watch her companion have his artery pierced by Lin Feng, but shortly after closing her eyes, she felt warmth on her neck.
It was blood, her own warm blood gushing out from that spot. Although it would normally be considered a matter of life and death, and Najenda felt that her life was nearing its end, for some reason, she felt a strange sense of peace.
Lin Feng stabbed himself in the neck with such precision, as if he were a skilled craftsman adept at this, and with Lin Feng's protection, it was as if he no longer needed to worry about anything.
'If I die, I will repay you with this body...'
Najenda closed her eyes and then lost consciousness.
Lin Feng pulled the fangs out of Akame's neck; his entire body was stained a terrifying scarlet by the blood spurted out by the men.
Although Minister Honest was very reluctant along the way—he had intended to hang the bodies of these men on the city gates to show the public the consequences of disobeying the empire's will— Lin Feng's attitude was unusually firm.
"I intend to take these corpses back and preserve them, sealing them away to better serve as a warning to others in the future. What do you think, Minister?"
"From a young age, I learned a special sealing technique that can ensure these corpses remain intact, preventing them from rotting and stinking. After processing, they can be hung for months on end. As long as no birds peck at them, they will continue to deter the people, and new thieves will not dare to commit evil deeds."
"Great, that's wonderful! Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. I'm extremely satisfied!"
Minister Honest stood up excitedly.
"I need to ensure they don't have too many wounds, otherwise the sealed solution will corrode their bodies. I ask for your understanding, Minister."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, General Budo stepped forward and looked at the people who were tightly bound. Their faces were as white as wax paper, their eyes were completely lifeless, and they had no pulse or heartbeat. They looked like completely dead people.
Since Lin Feng said not to hurt them easily, he dared not act rashly, lest he disturb Honest's plans.
"Minister Honest, the members of ' Night Raid ' have indeed been completely wiped out. In their current state, even a miracle couldn't save them."
"Good!! Lin Feng, you really didn't disappoint me. Those ' Wild Hunt ' and my good-for-nothing son are all useless! Only you are the greatest contributor to the Imperial Capital!"
Honest laughed excitedly, still lost in the euphoria of wiping out the entire enemy force during the Night Raid.
"Now that they are dead, I must take them back now; the sealing procedures cannot be delayed any longer."
"After I complete the body disposal procedures, I will return soon to discuss the next steps with you, Minister."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he put the bodies of the four female members of the " Night Raid " back into the bag, carried it out of the council hall.
