Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Chapter 29 - The Ambush

Esdeath led her team and Garou as they headed out for the hunt, their prey was Nighraid group. At the same time, Nightraid were preparing for the incoming battle, and they wanted to be the hunters instead of the prey.

Meanwhile, in the capital, the prime minister was shoving food in his thought madly as if he didn't eat for weeks, inside the dining hall.

" Slow down!!! You are eating like a beggar " A man clad in a black coat entered the dining hall and spoke to the minister.

The prime minister stopped eating and said " If you weren't my son, I would have ordered the guards to execute you "

" You look frustrated; what happened while I was away?" The man spoke

" Ooh, Syura!! You have no idea how your father was depressed lately. And all because of that bastard !!!" The prime minister replied angrily

"Mmmm..... Start from the beginning " Syura was interested, whatever caused his father to be this angry, surely must be something interesting.

The prime minister started explaining the reason of his anger, he spoke about Garou and how he started losing control, how Garou changed Esdeath and scared Bodou followed by how the little emperor started acting out of his control. The prime minister didn't forget to curse Garou and everyone while at the same time eating.

If any other person saw the prime minister now, he would feel disgusted. He resembled more of a mad pig than a man. The combination of eating, cursing and talking with grief was not something people would want to see. Luckily, his son was not bothered by it; probably, he was already used to it.

Once the prime minister done talking, Syura replied " Interesting!! I didn't expect I would hear something like this upon my return. Where can I find Garou ?? "

" Why do you want to find him ??" The prime minister asked

" In my last letter, I wrote to you about the team I was forming. You remember, right ?" Syura said

The prime minister nodded as he said " You wanted to call it Wildhunt, didn't you? "

Syura grinned and replied " Correct!!! I want to invite Garou to join my team."

The prime minister blinked then replied in a sarcastic tone " Did you become deaf in your last trip? I believe I told you a moment ago about that freak."

" I didn't, but think about it. You said Garou is wild and freakishly strong with no fear or respect. He is suitable to join my team. I need cold-blooded monsters like him hehe." Syura replied

The prime minister frowned " Esdeath couldn't convince him to join nor force him. I doubt you will be able to do it."

" Esdeath is only a war maniac; she is not as persuasive as me. No man can refuse riches, fame and women " Syura replied confidently.

" I don't think it will work. he is more like Esdeath, a battle maniac." The prime minister shook his head

" We will see about that. But I will admit it; I'm jealous of him, To make Esdeath fall for him!! If not for that woman absurd strength, I would have f.u.c.k.e.d her to death years ago. She is one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen." Syura licked his lips thinking about Esdeath body.

Hearing his son words, the prime minister stopped bothering with him. He said, " Be careful, I might not be able to help you if you mess this up."

The prime minister then continued eating while his son left the dining hall.

Hours later, in one of the small cities in the north, Esdeath was listening to the reports her team gathered from soldiers and the spies in this city.

" So Nightraid members were seen splitting into two groups, one led by Najenda and they head toward the east while the other group led by Akame and headed toward the west. " Esdeath said, confirming everything she heard.

" That's Right, it seems suspicious for me " Rin answered.

" They shouldn't have been spotted that easily, let alone being seen splitting into two groups, that's too good to be true. So either they let their guard down too much, or they are baiting us. " Esdeath said

" Toward the east, the religious cult headquarter, while toward the west, cities friendly to the rebels. As I see it, it is more likely to be a trap. " Bols added

" Do they want to divide us so that they could ambush and defeat us? " Seryu asked

"probably" Wave answered, making Seryu growl and call them evil.

" What do you think, Garou? " Esdeath asked Garou, who remained silent the whole time.

" It is a trap. I'm betting Nightraid want us to split into two teams as well while their group will at some point gather outside the city and set ambush somewhere in the east or the west. On the other hand, one of our two teams will walk into the trap While the other will walk away and maybe even encounter some force to busy them and make sure they think that they are in the right direction." Garou answered.

If Najenda were present, she would have cursed Garou's entire family. The plan they made weeks ago and prepared for was anticipated casually by Garou.

Esdeath nodded to Garou and said, " That's like Najenda."

" What will we do? " Rin asked

" We will split like they wanted us to and hunt the. Me, Garou, Seryu and Rin will head after Najenda, while the rest of you will go after Akame." Esdeath said

" What if they outnumbered us? " Dr stylish asked.

"If you were outnumbered or thought you can't win. You are allowed to retreat, preserving your lives come first " Esdeath asked.

" Today, we will hunt down these assassins once and for all. I hope everyone will be safe so that we can celebrate tonight our victory." Esdeath said raising the morales of her team.

____________________________________________________________

Two hours later, The second team, led by dr stylish, were still moving forward. For kilometre after kilometre, they didn't see anything or any trap.

" Could the trap prepared for the other team? " Wave asked

" We can't be sure. They need to keep us away from each other, as far as possible. For now, keep your guard up." dr Stylish answered.

" I see something ahead," Kurome said

Far in the distance, a shadow of what seemed to be a person standing in the middle of nowhere.

" Prepare for combat and keep moving, " dr Stylish said.

The group kept moving toward the shadow when they reached it. They relaxed a little.

" It turned out to be a scarecrow!!!" Wave sighed

" Probably one of the tribes in the near mountains. They are known to create similar dolls and stands for their imaginary gods " dr stylish added.

" Let's keep moving." dr Stylish said when suddenly the scarecrow burst. A huge man with blue hair appeared from the inside. The man had an enormous weapon. He was aiming for the unsuspecting Kurome.

Before the man could hit Kuromo, Wave intercepted the blow. He was already wearing his imperial arm. Thanks to his training with Garou, he learned to activate his imperial arm instantly and to react immediately upon feeling danger.

If not for that, he might have received quite the damage from the blow or even worse. He might not have been able to protect kurome at all.

The attacker retreated upon seeing his attack fail. He took stance preparing for the battle, behind him a group of people gathered with their weapons readied for battle.

The four Jaegers did the same; they knew this is going to be a hard battle. The enemy had eight assassins out in the open and probably more hiding in the shadows waiting the right time to make a move.

At the same time, the first team led by Esdeath were staring at the army of bandits around them. Esdeath frowned at them and looked at Garou who said, " It means all the fun on the other side."

Esdeath nodded and said " Let's clear this place first, then we will head back "

Garou dismounted from the horse and said, " You do the cleaning, I'm going after Wave and the rest."

" Garou, wait ....." Esdeath wanted to stop Garou, but it was too late. Garou already left.

" He is going there without a horse? " Rin asked.

" I believe he is faster than a horse," Seryu said.

" Tsk... Let's kill these fools fast. I don't want to miss all the fun " Esdeath said with an annoyed tone.

" I think we won't make it regardless," Rin said before joining the other two.

The bandits were going to have a bloody end.
