Chapter 184: Return of Esdeath (two in one)
Northern Territory.
The sky is full of wind and snow.
The tall, blue-haired Jun Ji, dressed in military uniform, sat in front of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In front of her was the foreign prince from the north, who was being led by a dog leash and kneeling on the ground like a wolf dog.
"Oh, is the so-called 'Hero of the North' just this kind of thing?"
"Boring."
boom--!
Jun Ji seemed to be tired of it, and casually ended the life of the northern prince with one kick. Then she held her chin with one hand and looked at the messenger who had just been brought over by the three beast warriors.
"What, does that guy Ernest have any new orders?"
a few days ago.
A messenger sent by Ernest had already arrived in the north and gave her an order to suspend the offensive and lead the army back to the North immediately. But at that time, she was in the middle of a battle with the Northern Prince, so she simply ignored the order.
Anyway, the complete annihilation of the foreign races in the north will only take a few days.
It makes no difference to her whether she goes back a few days earlier or a few days later.
Unexpectedly...
"...Oh? Did something like this happen in the imperial capital? Not only the ministers, but also the old stubborn General Bude was killed?"
"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, they are too weak. In this world, the weak are not qualified to decide their own life and death..."
While talking.
Esdeath stood up from the chair and looked in the direction of the imperial capital with a pair of blue eyes: "But, as a strong man, I am very much looking forward to fighting with you now... The one with black hair and red eyes girl."
As the last sentence falls.
The snow and wind in the sky suddenly intensified, forming a white cyclone surrounding the figure of the blue-haired military queen. The temperature within a kilometer radius seemed to have dropped several degrees in just a short moment, causing all the generals, including the three beast warriors, to shrink their necks unconsciously, feeling like a knife cutting their faces.
The pool of blood on the ground quickly solidified into ice, like a rose blooming in the snow.
"Pass my order, rest where you are for three days, and then return to the court!"
…
The distance between the imperial capital and the northern border is thousands of kilometers.
In the absence of "Shangri-La" or "Mostema", even the elite troops of the empire under Esdeath can only travel slightly faster than ordinary strong men.
On the contrary, it was the Revolutionary Army, which had been developing in a low-key manner in the south for more than ten years. Even if it temporarily assembled its troops due to changes in plans, it still managed to gather more than 100,000 troops and attack the imperial capital with overwhelming force, fighting against the Imperial Army stationed near the imperial capital. A fierce battle ensued.
how to say……
This scene is quite spectacular.
Except for Zhanchi World and the Dragon World in ancient times, it is rare to see hundreds of thousands of people fighting on a battlefield.
Uchiha Hikari sat on the somersault cloud and watched it all day long, during which he also started a group live broadcast, which opened the eyes of Bulma and others.
[Bulma: Wow, is this the revolutionary army that Mr. Brand belongs to, fighting that decadent imperial army? I didn't expect it to look so grand... Even in the movie, it's hard to compare. 】
[Buma @无名: By the way, Xiaoguang, Miss Kikyo and I have already met Inuyasha and the others. Now the four soul jade fragments collected by both of us are almost complete, and only Baoguixian is left. The piece in your hand. But the black pearls in Inuyasha's eyes have expired and can no longer take us into the underworld... Do you have any clues? 】
[Anonymous: ...No. You might have to ask Sesshomaru. 】
[Bulma: Okay... Then can Miss Kikyo and I go to your place to have a look? 】
[Eriyi: Eriyi wants to go too! 】
[Anonymous: You have to ask Mr. Brand. 】
[Brand: Well, there is currently a war in my world, and even I can’t guarantee that I will survive... If everything ends smoothly, I will invite you over again. 】
[Bulma: Is that so...]
mid-air.
Uchiha Hikaru was suddenly curious about a question——
If she stays in a group member's world and that group member is killed by someone else, then... what will happen to her? If you are forcibly kicked back to your original world, you can still stay there normally, but once you go back you can't come back?
The answer to this question is actually important.
but……
No way to try.
Even, Uchiha Hikari had to try her best to ensure the survival of the group members to ensure that she could stay in the other party's world a few more times. If there is a group member in the future who she hates and has a lot of evil deeds, maybe she can explore this aspect...
By the way.
Uchiha Hikaru was also concerned about Tanjiro's situation in the group.
[Tietouwa: ...Thank you very much, Miss Guang, for helping me find Mr. Cat Immortal as my teacher. Mr. Cat Immortal is really awesome! I can already feel the "qi" it refers to, which is a bit similar to the breathing method taught by Master Lintaki, but more refined and pure. 】
[Anonymous: Well...Has the Cat Immortal ever discussed the disadvantages of the breathing method with you? 】
[Tietouwa: It seems that there has been...]
The biggest drawback of the "breathing method" is the "spots" caused by overload use. Although the latter can greatly enhance the user's strength, it will also burn life and shorten lifespan. Just like when a Teigu user overuses the Teigu, it will cause side effects such as physical failure.
Uchiha Hikaru himself has not encountered this problem.
But as long as Tanjiro continues to practice the "breathing method", he will inevitably face the problem of markings.
I wonder if the cat fairy has a way to erase the side effects of this ability...
...
Although the death of General Bud has left the Imperial Guards leaderless.
But with the solid fortifications of the thousand-year-old imperial capital and the unique advantages of being the defender, they still resisted the first few waves of attacks by the Revolutionary Army, causing the battle to be stalemate for a while.
During this period of time.
Uchiha Hikaru sneaked into the palace again and met with the little emperor.
Then, with the secret order signed by the little emperor, he found Dr. Fashion in a secret base in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital.
Speaking of which...
This guy is actually a bit like Orochimaru's alternate world isotope.
Both are scientific research geniuses in the field of biological sciences, and both have moral values that are obviously lower than ordinary people. More importantly, they are both perverted...
However, compared to the weak Orochimaru, Dr. Fashion's scientific research team is obviously larger. As early as the reign of the previous emperor, he was already quite famous, and was therefore recruited by the previous emperor to become a senior research talent authorized by the empire, responsible for the research and production of new weapons and dangerous species, as well as the "Super Soldier Transformation" plan.
For example, Seryu in the original plot once asked him to do mechanical transformation on himself, and obtained the weapon system "Judgment of the Ten Kings" named after the Ten Kings of Hell, which once put Mayne, who had the "Pumpkin Turret", into a difficult battle.
And there are actually quite a few such soldiers in the imperial army.
At this time.
Dr. Fashion seemed to think that Uchiha Guang was not fashionable enough, and was a little indifferent to her.
But...
When Uchiha Guang showed a little shock of the Mangekyō Sharingan, and used the "Eight Thousand Spears" to give him a stamp of thought that he regarded himself as the emperor, Dr. Fashion's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he began to nod and bow attentively, taking her to inspect the base.
"...Are these the materials you use for body transformation experiments?"
Deep in the base.
Uchiha Hikaru looked at the row of jars filled with green nutrient solution and soaked with various human bodies and dangerous organs in front of him, and frowned unconsciously.
"Yes."
Dr. Fashion nodded, looking a little complacent: "The Empire will regularly send some people who have committed crimes to me for experiments, and these are taken from them... My dream is to create equipment like the imperial equipment and perfectly combine it with the human body, but it has not been done yet."
"..."
Got it.
It seems that Dr. Fashion wants to create "Dragonized Tatsumi".
Uchiha Hikaru doesn't care much about this guy's "dream".
After all, there are many bad people in the Zanchi World Empire of this era. It can be said that pulling all the dignitaries of the current dynasty and throwing them into the laboratory may hurt innocent people, but if one out of every two people is thrown in, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. As long as Dr. Fashion does a good job of quality control on the experimental materials and does not casually capture ordinary people for synthesis and transformation, it will not be a big problem.
After all...
The Frankenstein next door is always craving her body, but Dr. Fashion is at least not that extreme...
"During this period, you should stay here honestly and don't go out casually."
"Pack up the things that need to be packed in advance. The rule of the empire is about to end, and the owner of the imperial capital will also change... At that time, you only need to be loyal to me and find another place to continue your research."
Uchiha Guang said to Dr. Fashion.
"Eight Thousand Spears" can make Dr. Fashion recognize her as the master, but it can't change this guy's character.
In the original timeline, he could have lived to the end and was recruited by the Revolutionary Army as a special talent, but because of greed, he wanted to swallow up all the members of "Night Raid" by himself - plus his own transformation corps, and was killed in return. If he still commits suicide like that this time, Uchiha Guang may not be able to keep his life.
"...Yes, Lord Guang."
At that moment.
Uchiha Guang left Dotya and Cosmia with Dr. Fashion.
Dotya is also an academic talent who is very good at body modification. It is a good opportunity for her to communicate with Dr. Fashion... She is not afraid that the two of them will get together and cause any unexpected trouble. Anyway, the imprint has been placed. Whether it is to explore their memories or drain their power, it will only take a few minutes.
After a few words, Uchiha Guang left the base first, flew to the sky with the dance technique, and overlooked the battle outside the city.
At this time...
A cold wind blew from the side, making Uchiha Guang shiver subconsciously, squinting slightly and looking to the north.
As far as the line of sight can reach.
It is a vague mountain range and an endless plain.
"Is the wind blowing?"
...
"Grenda, Lady Najeshitan, something happened!"
In the revolutionary army barracks.
The leader of the revolutionary army named Glen, together with several senior cadres such as Najeshitan, heard the news from the scout.
"...Early this morning, we found a large number of cavalry on the plains hundreds of miles north of the imperial capital. There are at least nearly 10,000 cavalrymen, who are rushing to the imperial capital at a rapid pace... They may arrive near the imperial capital by tonight at the latest! If we can't prepare fortifications in advance, the current siege team may be severely impacted."
"North..."
"Is that woman back?"
Although the name was not mentioned directly.
But several revolutionary army cadres obviously knew who "that woman" was, and their expressions were different for a while.
"No, according to the intelligence we previously discovered, wasn't Esdeath sent to fight against the northern foreign race? There is a very powerful leader over there. Normally, it will take at least a year to end this war. How could it be so fast..."
"That's Esdeath."
Najesita sighed: "For her, all common sense is to be broken."
"...If it is really her, I am afraid it will be a bit troublesome."
Glenn raised his head and looked at the white-haired woman beside him: "Najesita, can you invite Miss Uchiha Guang to come and meet? I want to talk to her in person..."
Najesita hesitated: "I'll try."
...
Evening.
On the plain a hundred miles away from the imperial capital.
The cavalry unit returning from the north confronted several detachments of the revolutionary army stationed here.
Cavalry has absolute suppression power over infantry. In just the first round of attack, the revolutionary army's position was torn open, with heavy casualties.
Especially...
In addition to the ordinary heavy cavalry, these cavalry units also have a very special ice knight, who not only has extremely strong physical strength, but also is not afraid of swords and guns. Even if his arm is cut off by a knife, he can quickly recover and charge into battle again, which has brought a great shock to the revolutionary army.
"...It's her!"
"This ability to control ice and snow...It's Esdeath!"
In a horrified look.
The military princess in military uniform rode a tall horse and walked out of a road that was cleared in the middle of the cavalry. Just by waving her hand casually, a large number of ice blades formed in the air, and then ruthlessly swept the revolutionary army's position, causing a huge number of casualties in the blink of an eye.
Blood splattered.
But Esdeath seemed to have little interest in this.
"I'm not here to look for you... Go and call that girl with black hair and red eyes out!"
"...Who is that?"
The general of the Revolutionary Army who commanded this small army was a little confused.
With his identity and status, he was not qualified to know about Uchiha Hikaru.
Esdeath didn't know that the person she was looking for was not a cadre of the Revolutionary Army. Just when she was about to use some special means to torture and extract a confession, she seemed to suddenly feel something, and suddenly looked up and looked at the sky above her head.
There.
The figure of the black-haired girl slowly fell from the sky. After landing in front of the two armies, she slowly raised her head and opened a pair of gorgeous eyes like fire:
"Are you looking for me?"
