I Have the Responsibility to Bring Them Back

Ten minutes later, after Mine explained everything to Akame, Bullat, and the others, Akame nodded, and Mine ran back to Lin Ye, saying, "I've explained everything. You can now begin initial communication with us. For the details, we'll wait until the BOSS returns. You can use the house over there for now."

After pointing to an empty house not far away, Mine didn't immediately leave but seemed to wait for Lin Ye to go with her.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lin, I'll take the people there first. You and Lieutenant Cheng, please stay safe."

After Lin Ye gave a brief explanation, Yang Anli took charge of the command, escorting seven other soldiers to the empty house.

As for Xu Chao and Yu Jian, they followed Lin Ye. Their mission was to ensure Lin Ye's safety and attend to any immediate injuries he might have.

Observing the surroundings, Yang Anli frowned slightly, planning the next steps.

A simple investigation had to be conducted in this area, along with alerts and arrangements. Although the other side's hostility had disappeared, the discussions between the two sides had not yet reached a formal result.

After adjusting their clothes, Lin Ye and Cheng Chen followed Mine.

Upon entering the house, as Lin Ye had expected, except for Bullat and Akame, the other members of Night Raid were not there.

"Since what happened yesterday was a misunderstanding, we wouldn't have known each other without the fight." Unexpectedly, Bullat laughed, patted the table, and showed his goodwill.

"Bullat, a member of Night Raid."

Facing the hand extended by this uncle-like man, Lin Ye shook it, but the faint strength from the other side made the corners of his mouth twitch.

Comparing strength with him, Lin Ye had no hope of winning. But he couldn't retreat now, and he couldn't lose face as a Chinese soldier no matter what.

Lin Ye stood firm, his face unchanged.

"Lin Ye."

Although Ye Tianping had instructed that communication in this world should be in the name of the country, Lin Ye now decided to reveal his and others' identities depending on the situation.

"Good!"

Bullat released his hand. Honestly, he felt the opponent's strength wasn't on par with his own, but the other party didn't change his expression, which was somewhat admirable.

Although the opponent's physical quality was only slightly better than an ordinary citizen's and far worse than theirs, his momentum was indeed not weak.

"Can you tell me information about your identity? Since yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding, I think this information is also acceptable!"

From their clothes and temperament, Bullat concluded that the other party must be organized.

"A member of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. This is my ID."

Lin Ye took a red book from his pocket and handed it to Bullat.

"A soldier? A Lieutenant Colonel?"

Upon hearing this, Bullat, who was initially an imperial soldier, was stunned and became a bit nostalgic. Although he had defected from the army, he always longed for military life. However, he couldn't find the army he hoped for.

After seeing the portrait and steel seal on it, as well as the national emblem on the outside, although he didn't understand the words on it, Bullat understood that what the other party said was true. Because the Empire currently didn't have such technology.

However, the restoration of this avatar was still remarkable, almost 100%. If all their wanted posters were like this, the chances of recognition would be significantly increased.

"Yes, we come from a country across the sea. When we came here, we wanted to see the situation on the mainland."

These words had been prepared for a long time—across the sea in this world? Lin Ye ensured that the people here didn't know, so there was no problem using this.

Across the sea?

Bullat's first reaction was disbelief, but when he thought about the other party having spatial Teigu, he understood. Even if it was thousands of miles away, having such a Teigu only lasted a moment.

"Then what are your objectives after that?"

This was Bullat's biggest concern. Since the other party was a nation, there must be needs here.

"I came here to seek cooperation in economic, cultural, and other aspects, with the desire to live in peaceful coexistence, but the situation in this country isn't very good. There's war everywhere, and no atmosphere of peace at all!"

They didn't know the actual situation and only chose this statement based on the anime background.

Moreover, frankly speaking, a war-torn country couldn't decide the attitude it would take later.

Apart from the population and biological resources brought by the dangerous species, there was no problem feeding hundreds of millions of people just with the land.

Even Lin Ye was excited. However, there were still no specific countermeasures.

In this world, they had to be very cautious with every step they took. Facing the black technology in this world, any negligence would be fatal. Or for a country, the sacrifice of a few people wasn't a big deal, but for Lin Ye, it was a sin to let these comrades die in a foreign country and let their families never see them alive.

After bringing them here, he had to have the responsibility to bring them back safely. This was one of the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders.

Bullat was a bit embarrassed by this. Although he was a Revolutionary Army soldier fighting against the Empire's tyranny for the happiness of the country and the people, from a foreigner's point of view, he was indeed at war.

Moreover, the other party represented a nation. Even if the specific location wasn't known, coming here, he also knew that if two nations met, it was either cooperation or war.

As for the current situation of the Empire, normal people would know what to do, but he couldn't determine the other party's true stance based on guesses.

"Well... as long as the Revolutionary Army overthrows the Empire's tyranny, I think this country will surely usher in a new life."

Bullat changed the topic and spoke to Lin Ye with a serious face, "So I hope you can join us and fight together to free this country and its people. By then, I'm sure there will be good cooperative relations with your country."

However, the best way was to strive for economic and cultural cooperation as stated. The Empire was already in chaos. If another country invaded, only ordinary people would suffer.
