Chapter 222

Esdeath may have received the news that the imperial capital was occupied by the revolutionary army, and is now heading in their direction.

Because according to the informant there, Esdeath went down in person and killed more than 100,000 people by herself, ending the war in the shortest possible time.

Najeshitan is now unable to estimate Esdeath's strength, and even an army of 200,000 can hardly hold her back.

And it is precisely because of Esdeath's strong strength that Najeshitan, who knows her, made this unspeakable decision after constant consultation with the top leaders of the revolutionary army.

Use 200,000 troops as abandoned pawns.

Esdeath has no interest in the weak. Instead of killing the weak, she prefers to challenge those who are stronger, but there is no one stronger than her in this world.

Najeshitan concluded that as long as the information from the imperial capital is not passed to Esdeath, the battle line there will continue for a long time.

Leading the army in battle is also one of Esdeath's few hobbies.

An army of 200,000 will not be killed so easily, and the location they chose is also a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If Esdeath does not take action personally, the battle there will last at least a month.

So they did not choose to attack immediately after Esdeath left the imperial capital, but kept formulating and optimizing plans.

It was not until half a month after Esdeath left the imperial capital that Shirou Emiya killed the biggest threat to the revolutionary army.

They decided to capture the imperial capital before Esdeath learned that the imperial capital had lost its defense.

But even if they have most of the imperial tools in the entire empire, their chances of defeating Esdeath are still slim.

This time, Najeshitan came here to negotiate with Shirou Emiya.

You know, now Shirou Emiya is the strongest combat force they know.

The only chance of winning is probably really on a non-imperial person.

In fact, after the revolutionary army successfully occupied the imperial capital, Shirou Emiya was ready to set off to the front line where Esdeath fought.

However, he was not familiar with the route of the Empire, nor did he know where Esdeath was fighting, so he went to ask Najeshitan.

Najeshitan naturally stopped Shirou Emiya at the first time and did not tell him the information about Esdeath.

One aspect is that the information has not yet been passed to Esdeath, and the Revolutionary Army in the Imperial Capital does not want to give up this hard-earned breathing time.

If Shirou Emiya went to fight Esdeath immediately, the fact that the Imperial Capital was captured would soon be exposed.

Because of the Emiya android, the Revolutionary Army did not trust Shirou Emiya. Even if he provided the Revolutionary Army with the weapons he projected, the Revolutionary Army still did not trust Shirou Emiya.

Of course, the most important reason is that Shirou Emiya is not from the Empire.

You must know that with such strength, the Revolutionary Army could not have not collected information about Shirou Emiya.

Shirou Emiya first appeared on the battlefield in the north, and there was no information about Shirou Emiya in any village in the Empire.

He couldn't have appeared out of thin air. The only inference is that Shirou Emiya is not from the Empire, and the attitude of the Revolutionary Army or the Empire towards foreigners can be said to be very bad.

If it weren't for Shirou Emiya's extremely strong strength, the Revolutionary Army would probably order Night Raid to capture Shirou Emiya and let him provide weapons to the Revolutionary Army continuously.

The Night Raid members are not hostile to Shirou Emiya, but they have not accumulated a deep friendship with Shirou Emiya. If it is for the people of the Empire, I am afraid that Night Raid will carry out the tasks of the Revolutionary Army.

As long as the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army do not reveal their true thoughts to Night Raid.

If the Night Raid members understand that the Revolutionary Army wants to capture Shirou Emiya as a coolie, they will probably choose to communicate with Shirou Emiya secretly and finally report to the Revolutionary Army that Shirou Emiya has been killed by them.

"Esdeath, I'm afraid we will arrive in the imperial capital soon."

Walking into the house, Najeshitan slowly sat down beside the wooden table and stated slightly weakly.

Anyone who has not slept for days and nights, and is constantly working and discussing, will not be in a good mental state.

Moreover, because she had opened [Evil Spirit Appearance] twice before, her physical condition was not as good as before.

"How long will it take?"

"According to the army's pace, Esdeath will probably take three days to reach the imperial capital."

{If Esdeath chooses to let the army attack}

Najesita thought so in her heart.

All this is based on the premise that Esdeath is still not interested in them.

If Esdeath abandons his army in anger and kills directly to the imperial capital, then they have no way to stop him.

Although Esdeath is a person who cares about his subordinates and is loved by his subordinates, no one can guarantee that her mood will not suddenly change and make people overwhelmed.

"We can't let the war spread here again."

Shirou Emiya responded in a deep voice. The residents of the imperial capital have suffered the disaster of war once, and Shirou Emiya does not want them to suffer this disaster that should have been avoided again.

What's more, if he really fought with Esdeath, he might not have the energy to rescue them again.

"I think the same thing. We can't just stay where we are. We must take the initiative to attack."

Najesita nodded, agreeing with Shirou Emiya's idea. The imperial capital has already endured too much. Under the little emperor's [National Guardian Mecha "Supreme Throne"], more than half of the buildings in the imperial capital were completely destroyed.

It is still under repair. Moreover, in terms of military strength alone, Esdeath's army is not only equipped with the projection imperial equipment provided by the Emiya androids, but also far exceeds the number of the revolutionary army left in the imperial capital.

After that battle, the revolutionary army, except for the top leaders and imperial equipment users, only had dozens of soldiers left. It was impossible to stop the attack of those soldiers.

Although each imperial equipment user can fight against a hundred or even a thousand, their physical strength is limited after all. No one can control the [National Guardian Mecha "Supreme Throne"] that only the emperor's blood can control.

Their imperial equipment users almost do not have the skills like Esdeath, who can deal with thousands of people in an instant.

Chapter 367: Plans cannot keep up with changes

Forty or fifty figures kept shuttling through the woods, following the pink kitten in front, which was running fast on the branches.

Emiya Shirou still held the opposite opinion to Najeshitan. He did not know how powerful Esdeath was now.

But with Najeshitan's words and the explanations of those Emiya androids, it is certain that Esdeath's strength must be more than a little stronger than the time when Emiya Shirou defeated her.

At that time, Esdeath needed at least 50,000 elite soldiers and more than 10 imperial utilities including Akame to have a chance to win.

Now Najeshitan even asserted that the number of troops was meaningless in front of Esdeath now, and hundreds of thousands of troops could not even consume Esdeath's physical strength.

Even imperial utilities were no different from ordinary soldiers in front of Esdeath.

Those fifty Emiya androids actually had the combat power of imperial utilities, and to some extent they were even more difficult to deal with than imperial utilities.

Not only because of the several imperial tools they wore, and the mental network, their combat coordination was even better than that of the night raid members.

It can be said that the power of the Emiya androids is definitely greater than 1+1.

But even so, they could not analyze any way to defeat Esdeath.

Not to mention defeating Esdeath, even getting her injured was impossible.

Najeshitan believed that all hope now rested on Shirou Emiya. If Shirou Emiya went to fight and died at the hands of Esdeath, then the Revolutionary Army really had no chance of winning.

In order to increase Shirou Emiya's chances of winning, Najeshitan believed that all the imperial tools needed to be sent to deal with Esdeath. Even if they could not provide support to Shirou Emiya, being able to consume Esdeath's physical strength was already a huge success.

Shirou Emiya believed that this was an act of suicide, which had no meaning and would only make the Revolutionary Army weaker.

In short, after a period of discussion, the final decision was that all the imperial weapons users would go to deal with Esdeath.

Even such a powerful Esdeath could not withstand the Murasame in Akahime's hand. If there was a chance, as long as Esdeath was scratched by Murasame, then everything would be over.

Although the final decision was still in line with Najeshitan, the overall policy had changed.

The original plan was to cover Shirou Emiya and help Shirou Emiya kill Esdeath at all costs.

After being reminded by Shirou Emiya, Najeshitan realized that she seemed to have deified Esdeath a little too much. No matter how powerful she was at this stage, she was still a mortal.

Even if she was touched by Murasame, Esdeath would still lose her life.

The plan once again returned to saving Akahime and letting Akahime find an opportunity to kill her with one blow.

But now, the Revolutionary Army does not have more than 50,000 elite soldiers to pull Esdeath's energy and consume her physical strength.

The focus of the battle is still on Shirou Emiya.

If Akame hadn't found an opportunity to kill Shirou Emiya before he was defeated, then everything would be over.

They didn't have too much hope in Shirou Emiya. It's better to say that they didn't have any hope of defeating Esdeath.

The gap in strength is too big.

Esdeath's strength is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has been felt by everyone.

Although Shirou Emiya had confronted Esdeath head-on, no one knew the result of that battle. They only knew that Shirou Emiya had not appeared in the imperial capital for three months after that battle.

And in those three months, Esdeath became stronger and stronger, so strong that people could not see the end, and people could not feel any emotion except despair in their hearts.

"We're here!"

As Chelsea, who turned into a kitten in the front, said, everyone present slowed down their pace and stepped lightly on the soft soil.

Although it was impossible for Esdeath's army to find them on the hill where they were, these imperial weapon users still walked lightly.

Sweat continued to flow from their foreheads.

The revolutionary army's imperial weapon user team did not go directly from the main road to Esdeath's direction.

People who can control the imperial equipment or the ministerial equipment basically have good physical fitness.

And they need to get rid of Esdeath before the army flattens the imperial capital they just controlled.

So they chose to take a closer and more dangerous road.

There are countless dangerous species in the forest, but these dangerous species are not threatening in front of Shirou Emiya's sword arrows that are almost automatically locked.

He also wanted to stop Esdeath as quickly as possible, so he took the initiative to eliminate all the dangerous species around who wanted to attack them.

The current revolutionary army has no power to stop such a legion.

Although the legion under Esdeath is extremely powerful, it also has obvious weaknesses.

That is extreme worship of her.

No one in the entire army has the influence ability to reach the level of Esdeath. Almost everyone is highly worshipping and believing in Esdeath.

If Esdeath wants to overthrow the empire, most of her subordinates will unconditionally support her to overthrow the empire.

Such an army has extremely high cohesion, but at the same time, it also has fatal weaknesses.

That is, if Esdeath dies, then this army will lose its combat effectiveness in an instant.

The only way to prevent the imperial capital from being breached is to kill Esdeath before she reaches the imperial capital.

"How is this possible? The intelligence is wrong!"

Chelsey, the first to come out of the forest, looked at the deserted wilderness at the bottom of the mountain, and her pupils shrank.

According to the reports of the intelligence personnel on the front line, Esdeath's army should pass here today.

"Tatsumi!"

Tatsumi, who was in the imperial weapon team, quickly spread his wings behind him, grabbed Chelsea and flew down the mountain.

"These footprints show that Esdeath's army has completely passed here, and it has been a day."

Chelsey's expression became unusually bad. The reason why the imperial weapon users were led by her was because of her excellent intelligence collection ability. At least her role was very large before finding Esdeath.

This shortcut was also provided by Chelsea.

"Where would Esdeath be now?"

Tatsumi asked hurriedly.

Chelsea touched the footprints of the yellow sand under her feet and kneaded them in her hands.

"I'm afraid Esdeath will arrive in the imperial capital soon!"

Those intelligence personnel did not expect that the revolutionary army did not expect that, and Najeshitan did not expect that Esdeath would choose to travel at night and force the army to arrive near the imperial capital a day in advance.

According to normal logic, it is undoubtedly an unwise choice to let the army stationed around the city with fatigue.

Originally, the army's mental and physical state was not very good after a long journey, and now they are constantly rushing on the road without rest.

It is difficult for the soldiers in the army to have enough spirit to defend or attack, and it can almost be said that they will be easily found by the enemy for a gap to attack.

However, as long as Esdeath is still in the army, all conspiracies and tricks against the army will be useless.
