The only thing to be thankful for was that Esdeath did not know that the revolutionary army in the imperial capital had no means to resist the attack of her legion. Based on Najeshita's understanding of Esdeath, she would not take action at the first moment, but would choose to see what kind of strength the Revolutionary Army's hidden troops that could directly attack the imperial capital have. If the soldiers under his command have no way to deal with the enemy and will be slaughtered one-sidedly, Esdeath will go into battle to eliminate that person. Esdeath doesn't want her interest in leading the army in the final battle to be wiped out just because of her own powerful strength. Her strength is not just in terms of physical strength, otherwise she would not be able to become the only second great general in the empire. "Emiya-senpai, we shouldn't be discovered if we sneak in like this." After discovering that Esdeath's troops were at the gates of the city, Najenda didn't hesitate at all and had Chelsea turn around immediately and head towards the direction of the imperial capital which they had just left not long ago. Now we can't delay even for a moment. You know, although the army will feel tired, the physical fitness and mental strength of the soldiers in this world are far superior to Shirou Emiya who has not learned the breathing method. Najshita was not sure whether Esdeath would choose to attack immediately, because for the people of the empire, even if they were tired, it would not affect their combat ability too much. You should know that Akagi once didn't sleep for several days in order to assassinate a target, just to find that slight chance to kill instantly.
Such fatigue will not significantly affect Esdeath's combat effectiveness. Now, Esdeath's army of hundreds of thousands is neatly lined up several kilometers away from the imperial capital. It seems that they have just arrived here and are getting ready and organizing various weapons, equipment, and food. I'm afraid it won't be long before a full-scale attack begins. Shirou Emiya and Tatsumi activated their invisibility mode of [Devil Haunted] and sneaked into the army, looking for Esdeath's location. The ones who were most skilled in using [Devil's Haunting] were probably Shirou Emiya and Tatsumi. The others were afraid that Esdeath would be aware of their murderous intentions towards her, so they did not follow in stealthily. It seemed that war was unavoidable, and most of the imperial weapon users returned to the imperial capital cursing and began to prepare for a head-on battle with hundreds of thousands of troops. Only a small number of Teigu users like Akame and Mine, who are specialized in a single Teigu, stay behind and wait for orders. The Revolutionary Army does not want the Imperial Capital to fall before defeating Esdeath. In fact, they can only be regarded as struggling now. Ever since they could not find a way to defeat Esdeath in the Empire's arsenal, the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army have already begun their last struggle. The top leaders of the revolutionary army were unwilling to give up everything they had worked so hard to obtain. What's more, the residents of the imperial capital no longer wanted to live a life worse than pigs and dogs as before. After seeing the self-sacrificing resistance of the revolutionary army soldiers and Shirou Emiya who risked everything to save others, the flames of resistance in their hearts slowly rose. Fortunately, in the days after occupying the imperial capital, Shirou Emiya projected many imperial instruments and ministerial instruments, and many people with lofty ideals joined the revolutionary army. However, his strength was naturally not comparable to that of a true imperial weapon user, so he did not follow Esdeath's expeditionary force. As for other more powerful weapons, most of them required magic power to activate, so Shirou Emiya did not project them out and give them to them. In their hands, those weapons were just weapons that were harder and sharper than normal weapons. At this moment, the entire army was silent. The soldiers stood in the wilderness in a very standard standing posture, as if they were waiting for something, waiting for someone to appear. Tatsumi was also in such an indescribable atmosphere. He dared not make any sound and only dared to move his body with the smallest amount of strength. At this time, the only sound that could be heard in the entire army was the whistling wind. Tatsumi was afraid that if he accidentally changed and made a noise, he would be surrounded by the entire army.
As for Shirou Emiya, he had practiced his steps specifically, so at least in terms of footsteps, he was able to do it without making any sound. "tread--!" "tread--!" "tread--!" "tread--!" The sound of crisp footsteps came from the front of the entire army. She was an extremely charming woman wearing an open-chested military uniform, a hat, and long aqua-blue hair. She felt an oppressive feeling that could not be expressed in words. Esdeath just stood there, and Tatsumi felt his heart skip a beat. Even though he had already reached the final evolutionary form he could reach, Tatsumi still felt extremely weak in front of Esdeath. He could feel a deep fear of Esdeath coming from the armor on his body. “Gentlemen——” A mature voice filled with absolute confidence came out of Esdeath's mouth to the army. Although the voice was not loud, for some reason, even at the rear of the army, Emiya Shirou and Tatsumi could hear Esdeath's words clearly. Shirou Emiya felt the fluctuations of magical power coming from Esdeath's words. These are words spread out through magic power and can be heard by everyone in the area. He backed away slowly. Now Shirou Emiya is still hundreds of meters away from Esdeath. He does not want to be discovered by Esdeath because of the fluctuations of his magic power. It’s not a big problem if I’m discovered, the key is not to drag Tatsumi down. Now, it seemed that Esdeath did not notice him. Shirou Emiya stared at the blue figure in the distance and retreated. "I love war!" Emiya Shirou's footsteps slowly paused. He clearly felt that the emotions of the soldiers around him began to rise with Esdeath's words. "Gentlemen, I love war!" "Gentlemen, I love war the most!" The soldier's eyes began to shine at this moment, and he looked at Esdeath with a chilling smile on his lips. "I like to chop off the enemy's heads!" "Like digging out the hearts of my enemies!"
"I like to crush the enemy's body!" "I like to destroy the dignity of my enemies!" "I love tearing out the souls of my enemies!" "Plains, grasslands, forests, streets, tundra, deserts, wetlands." "I love all the battlefields in this world!" Tatsumi was so shocked by the words before him that he was speechless and could only stand there in a daze. A wolf-like aura burst out from the surrounding soldiers. "I like the spearmen to hold their spears tightly and pierce the enemies!" "Seeing that person who can only spit blood and is unable to resist is a physical and mental pleasure!" "I like the swordsman swinging his sword to cut off the enemy!" "I feel extremely happy when I see the enemy with only half of his body left crawling on the ground in humiliation!" "I like archers to pierce the enemy like a rain of arrows!" "I was deeply moved by the despair in the eyes of those enemies who were pierced through the ground!" "I can't sleep when I see the enemies trying to escape but being mercilessly torn apart!" "Cover the crying and begging captives alive under the ice and snow!" "Listening to their heart-wrenching wails, my blood keeps surging!" "Seeing those heroes who carry the people's faith being trampled upon in front of the people!" "The civilians looked devastated. I was really overjoyed!" "I like to fight with strong people and get covered with wounds!" "I like to constantly live in the moment of life and death, and I can die in the next second because of the strong!" "Gentlemen! Please me! I look forward to the war! I look forward to defeating my opponent!" “Looking forward to it, that hell belongs to us!!!!!!” The frozen throne appeared beneath Esdeath. The moment she slowly sat down, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers roared so loudly that even the sky began to tremble. Chapter 369 It’s Time to Take Action "Tell Najeshitan that Esdeath is ready to attack. Let the revolutionary army in the imperial capital be prepared to respond. At least at this stage, she will not take action personally." Shirou Emiya and Tatsumi quickly broke away from the army and came to a higher cliff, watching the aggressive army in front from afar. In such a regiment with strict military discipline, Shirou Emiya and Tatsumi had to be careful even with their breathing.
If they were discovered, what awaited them would not only be the absolute suppression from Esdeath, but also the encirclement and suppression by hundreds of thousands of troops. They didn't think they could destroy an army of tens of thousands with just a wave of their hands like Esdeath. No, Emiya Shirou thought about it carefully and decided that he should now have the ability to confront an army of tens of thousands head-on. Whether it is the Noble Phantasm that he projected, or the special powers possessed by the students in the academy, they are enough to allow Shirou Emiya to not be at a disadvantage when facing tens of thousands of troops. Before his physical strength and magic power are exhausted, it is difficult for a mere army to harm Emiya Shirou. However, Shirou Emiya had never really fought against an army, and he didn't know how far he could really go. The only reference was that he had defeated nearly a thousand people in the Tanlang Academy. Although everyone in Tanlang Academy has various special abilities, Shirou Emiya is not directly confronting nearly a thousand people. It's just that he defeated nearly a thousand people in total in Tanlang Academy. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" That was the sound of the army stomping on the ground. If they continue to advance at this speed, they will probably reach the gates of the imperial capital within a few hours and begin their attack. Now, regardless of whether the Revolutionary Army is ready to confront these hundreds of thousands of troops, they must stand up and resist Esdeath's attack. "it is good--!" Tatsumi nodded, a pair of wings grew out of his back, and he suddenly flew up. When in stealth mode, Tatsumi doesn't have to worry about being discovered by the enemy while flying in the sky. However, the current situation can be said to be even more serious than when they decided to directly attack the imperial capital. If we are not careful, everything the revolutionary army has done will be in vain. In fact, it cannot be said that if Esdeath wins, everything the Revolutionary Army has done will be in vain. It’s just that the top leaders of the revolutionary army cannot sit on the throne. All the most deeply rooted cancers in the imperial capital have been cleared away, and it can be said that the empire is now almost brand new. Even if the revolutionary army is defeated, it is impossible for the people to return to the previous situation of misery. It is true that Esdeath is a battle maniac, but she is also very cruel to her enemies and prisoners of war, and she buried 400,000 people alive. While defeating his enemies physically, he also enjoys destroying their minds, and often lets his opponents go on purpose just to enjoy the fight to the fullest. This is also why Shirou Emiya was able to survive so many times at the hands of Esdeath, because she saw it, saw the potential of Shirou Emiya to fight with her to his heart's content. But Esdeath has a very good reputation among the people of the empire. She was also very kind to her subordinates and the people. Even the nobles did not dare to bully the people in front of Esdeath. But Esdeath focused all her attention on fighting and war, and didn't care at all about what the situation would be like within the empire.
If she really harbored rebellious intentions, no one in the empire could stop her. The two great generals of the empire were not as bad as other ministers in the eyes of the people. It was just that one of them was blindly loyal, and the other was just a simple battle maniac. Rights could not arouse any interest in Esdeath. "Emiya-senpai, won't you come back to the imperial capital with me?"
