[Far away...]
The rest of the Jaegers followed the trail that would theoretically lead them to Najenda. Esdeath, Run, Wave and Seryu rode on horseback to find their enemies.

Esdeath looks at Seryu as the team continued on.
Esdeath: Seryu. Don't use too much force until we face the enemy. - She warns.
Seryu: Huh? Y-Yes. - The redhead stammers, confused.
The ex-soldier was confused by the treatment her captain was giving her.
Seryu: Huh... Captain? What's wrong? - She asks, curious - Recently, you've been paying special attention to me. You also divided the teams so we could stay together... Is there something wrong with me?
Esdeath: I received a report from Wave, saying that your heart was dangerous. I'm trying to get you to act alongside me whenever you can. - The general responds, looking at the youngest over her shoulder.
Surprised by the information, Seryu looks at Wave with perplexity and indignation, who closes his eyes confidently in response.
Wave: It was for your own good, Seryu. -The sailor says, convinced.
Koro's owner looked like she felt stabbed in the back.
Seeing this, Esdeath smiles calmly at her subordinate.
Esdeath: Why that face? Anyway, I said I would take care of you. Don't forget that, Seryu.
Seryu: Ah! Thank you very much, Captain!- She thanks, quickly becoming radiant.
Run looks at his leader.
Run: Should I search the sky, using my Arm?
Esdeath: You can't fly now. We should save our energy for when we confront the enemy.
Wave seemed unsure about something.
Wave: Even so, shouldn't we have caught up with them by now?
Esdeath: Indeed. This is a bit strange.
The Demon's Extract holder tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
Esdeath: As I imagined... a trap. Night Raid must have gone the other way... and their target is Kurome. - She deciphers the trap, narrowing her eyes.
Spotting something in front of her, Esdeath orders her horse to brake abruptly.
Esdeath: And now we meet a bunch of idiots. It can't be a coincidence.
In front of the Jaegers, there was a flood of scarred criminals, weird hairstyles, ugly clothes, dangerous weapons and dirty faces.
The guys made a lot of comments about Esdeath that I'd rather not write here. The blue-haired woman looked at them boredly, with her hand on her hip.
Esdeath: I recognize these men. They come from the Eastern territory of the Empire.
Seryu: If they're associated with Night Raid, then they're of the same ilk. - The redhead growls, turning her right arm into a blade while Koro climbs onto her shoulder.
