And there's no need for Koizumi to bring it up himself; Ushiwakamaru would probably take the initiative to make this request, just like Shizumi did before.

Koizumi, Ushiwakamaru, and Qin Xin boarded the Elmonda and had to admit that the flying danger was very fast, at least much faster than Koizumi's current flying speed, which saved them a lot of effort.

Along the way, Ushiwakamaru asked Koizumi many questions, such as "Why is Koizumi here when there is no other Master in this singularity?" and "The news from Night Raid said that a shrine maiden joined, probably together with Koizumi, so is that shrine maiden also a Servant?"

However, Koizumi didn't just answer whatever she asked. After all, Koizumi knew what to say and what not to say.

It is better not to tell others about your own mission before they join.

After all, the Revolutionary Army isn't the kind of organization that can be trusted completely, so Koizumi must be wary.

Even to Jingyi who had joined him, Koizumi didn't tell her about his mission.

I just asked Jingmi to help when needed. It’s not that I don’t trust Jingmi, but there is no need to say it out loud.

For Jingmi, as long as she could help herself, she didn't want to know too much else.

Koizumi saw this, so he didn't plan to tell Jingmi about it.

As for when to tell it, that depends on the timing. By the time Koizumi figures out the problem with this singularity, it will be almost time for a decisive battle between him and the other side.

Elmonda was very fast. Before long, Gu Quan and the other three had already arrived in Longxi.

The Revolutionary Army member in charge of the response passed the information to Koizumi, Ushiwakamaru, and Qin Xin.

It seemed that the other party had seen Ushiwakamaru before, so he showed great respect to Ushiwakamaru.

"The Imperial Assassination Force is currently operating over a wide area, and they've been searching for us lately. Because of this, our area of ​​activity has been shrinking, and some of our spies have even been killed. If you, General, hadn't arrived, we would have been wiped out by the Imperial Assassination Force..."

At this point, the person who was supposed to pick him up couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he also felt hatred for the imperial assassination force in his heart.

Ushiwakamaru nodded, a hint of thought appearing in his eyes.

She seemed to be thinking about how to lure out the Imperial assassination squad, while Koizumi's lips curled up slightly.

"Hey, Rider, why don't we use them as bait to lure those guys out."

Chapter 124: Longxi News

Gu Quan's idea was a good one. After all, the Imperial Assassination Corps was targeting these guys. If he used the information they had, he might be able to lure them out.

There weren't many strong men in the Imperial Assassination Corps, and at least none of them could be a match for Koizumi and his two companions.

If a real fight breaks out, even if Koizumi only has three people, there will be no problem at all.

These spies of the Revolutionary Army are not suitable for combat, so Koizumi did not expect them to participate in such matters.

And regardless of what Koizumi said, these guys were also saying that they were short of manpower and that they could help lure the enemy, but if they wanted to participate in the battle, it might not work. After all, they themselves were not good at fighting.

In response, Ushiwakamaru waved his hands and said, "I don't need your help, so don't think too much about it."

Ushiwakamaru is very confident in her own strength, and she also has a relatively full understanding of the combat effectiveness of Qin Xin and Koizumi. Although she has never seen Koizumi take action, Koizumi was able to rescue Qin Xin from her attack, and the opponent's speed is even slightly faster than hers, which means that Koizumi's strength is not weak either.

It can even be said that once Gu Quan's strength is unleashed, he might even surpass himself.

Ushiwakamaru has always been very confident, but she also has a very clear understanding of her own strength, so her observation of other people's strength is not weak either, so she knows that Gu Quan and Qin Xin's combat power is not inferior to her.

At first glance, Qin Xin was at a disadvantage against him, but he was unable to defeat her for the time being.

And judging from the fact that the opponent's attack affected me, the opponent's strength is definitely not inferior to mine.

There are two servants and a master who is not inferior to the servants here, so Ushiwakamaru is so confident.

But she was confident, and the revolutionary soldier who was there to pick her up was a little speechless.

"Sir, could you please not be so blunt? I know my people are weak, but it's really hurtful to say it so directly." Koizumi watched the scene with a mixture of laughter and tears. He really was such a pitiful fellow.

However, Koizumi could also see that this guy had great respect for Ushiwakamaru and didn't care about what he said.

After all, what Ushiwakamaru said was the truth, but it was too hurtful on some levels.

Qin Xin followed Gu Quan silently without saying a word. She knew exactly what she should and shouldn't do.

Now Qin Xin can be said to have truly placed himself in the role of Gu Quan's servant.

When she first arrived at this singularity, Qin Xin tended to follow her own will, but after spending time with Koizumi, she began to act as Koizumi's servant.

Since they needed to prepare for the lure, Koizumi and the others had nothing else to do for the time being.

Moreover, Koizumi and the others did not sleep the entire night. After completing their mission, they immediately started a new one without saying a word.

Although he's somewhat used to it, Koizumi doesn't pay too much attention to it.

However, they hadn't even had breakfast yet, so Koizumi decided to go to a restaurant near Longxi with Ushiwakamaru.

However, since Longxi is adjacent to foreign ethnic groups and has experienced many invasions by foreign ethnic groups, it appears very desolate.

However, it is precisely because of this that this area is the easiest to provoke. After all, they are deeply disappointed with the empire. Foreign races invade every day. Although General Esdeath is sent to suppress them, the harsher the suppression, the deeper the hatred of the foreign races towards the empire. If this continues, the next attack will be more fierce and the people will suffer more.

Moreover, there are more foreign ethnic groups than just in Longxi, and Esdeath is too busy to handle them all.

Walking on the land of Longxi, Gu Quan glanced at the pale and skinny people on the roadside, and from time to time there were children begging on the roadside.

And there are quite a few people of mixed ethnicity in Longxi... Come to think of it, if I remember correctly, Mayin is also of mixed ethnicity. I heard from Sister Leona that Mayin was often bullied by people on the border when she was a child. It was only because Mayin had the blood of a foreign ethnicity that she suffered that kind of experience...

Ushiwakamaru felt uncomfortable when she saw this scene. She didn't have any special feelings towards other ethnic groups. After all, she was not from this singularity, so she was very unhappy with what these guys did.

So what if I'm of mixed ethnicity? Why should I be treated differently? I look no different from you.

Gu Quan turned his head away, not intending to watch any further. Gu Quan was not a saint. Even if he saved one person today, there would be a second, third, and fourth person in the future... If we want to eradicate this kind of thing, we need to change people's mentality.

That’s why we need so-called reforms now, that’s why we need the current revolution…

Feeling the depressing atmosphere among himself and the others, Koizumi glanced at Ushiwakamaru and decided that he needed to say something. If he didn't, Ushiwakamaru would probably beat up these people.

Koizumi curled his lips and focused his gaze on Ushiwakamaru.

"Hey! Rider! You're a general of the Revolutionary Army, so why did you suddenly come here from the front lines? You're more needed on the front lines, right? Otherwise, how are we going to deal with the Empire's troops? The Empire's generals aren't that easy to deal with, are they?"

This is also what Gu Quan is confused about. He is obviously a general, why is he here instead of going to the front line?

Ushiwakamaru was slightly startled, then slowly began to explain.

"With the exception of Esdeath and her subordinate, Riva, the Empire's generals are easy to deal with. With the Advisor at the helm, there's no need to worry about the Revolutionary Army falling into danger. Although the Advisor hasn't revealed his true name, I've witnessed his command and the strategies he implemented with my own eyes. These alone are enough to manipulate the Empire's generals."

From Ushiwakamaru's words, it is not difficult to hear her admiration for the military advisor, but that guy did not reveal his real name. Could it be that he still has a certain degree of vigilance towards other servants?

But it's also true that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Compared to that person, who has thought of his own retreat while serving the revolutionary army... Of course, he will also remain vigilant towards other servants.

It seems that there is really nothing very important happening on the Revolutionary Army side, so they sent Ushiwakamaru here.

And Koizumi can almost guess... there really aren't any powerful guys on the Revolutionary Army side.

"And actually, there's another reason why I came here... It's because of the order the military advisor gave me as a servant."

Saying this, Ushiwakamaru looked deeply at Koizumi.

Chapter 125 Reason

"And actually, there's another reason why I came here... It's because of the order the military advisor gave me as a servant."

As he said this, Ushiwakamaru looked at Koizumi deeply. It was obvious that this matter was related to Koizumi.

Koizumi was also slightly startled. Could it be that the military advisor asked Ushiwakamaru to come and contact him and then go back to report?

No, if Ushiwakamaru knew about my situation, he would definitely not fight with me right from the start.

After all, Ushiwakamaru himself said that they only knew about the shrine maiden, and knew basically nothing about Koizumi and Qin Xin. Since they said they knew basically nothing, then why did they come here to carry out the mission and have it something to do with him?

Thinking of this, Koizumi looked at Ushiwakamaru in front of him with a puzzled look. If this had nothing to do with him, then why was he looking at him like that? It was obvious that the look Ushiwakamaru gave him was questionable.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Koizumi stared at Ushiwakamaru, waiting for his answer.

Ushiwakamaru smiled faintly and slowly explained, "I think the military advisor knows about your situation, but he asked me to find the miko of Night Raid, hoping to inquire about something about this world."

It was obvious that Ushiwakamaru and the military advisor servant had already noticed the strangeness of this place.

Not to mention that no one in this empire has ever heard of it, and nothing like the Holy Grail War has ever happened in this world.

Therefore, Ushiwakamaru and the military advisor servants should have all guessed that this is not the world they are familiar with.

It should be said that this is a parallel world with a completely different historical background, so this kind of thing happened.

Although he didn't know why his servants were summoned, one thing he could be sure of was that something must have happened in this world to trigger the world's protection mechanism and initiate the summoning of servants.

They had never heard of Reimu's name. The military advisor servant knew that Reimu was a servant, but had never heard of a shrine maiden named Hakurei Reimu. So he thought that this shrine maiden might be related to this world, and even knew what was happening in this world, so she needed to summon these neutral servants.

Hearing this, Koizumi could almost guess that he would be sent by Najeshitan. Not only did his own situation necessitate this choice, but also... the request of the strategist servant. After all, as long as the Master went, the Servants who had signed contracts with the Master would definitely follow. However, he probably didn't expect that Koizumi actually planned to act alone.

As long as they ask this Master, Ushiwakamaru and the Revolutionary Army's military advisor should be able to clearly understand what is happening in this world. At that time, they can decide what to do next based on Koizumi's words.

This really aligns with the way a wise man thinks... Koizumi couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

Now it was Ushiwakamaru's eyes that were fixed on Koizumi, causing Koizumi to feel both amused and helpless.

It seems that if I don’t say it, people will always feel that I want to cover up something, but if I say it, it would be too careless.

Koizumi is still unsure whether there are Imperial troops on the side of the Revolutionary Army, or whether the Revolutionary Army is the source of the chaos. At the very least, Koizumi needs to be careful. If he is not careful, he will easily get into trouble. He cannot say it out loud as soon as Ushiwakamaru asks him.

This would make me seem like a big mouth. I couldn't just casually tell everyone the reason for coming to this singularity just because I had a slight crush on them. However...

Koizumi glanced at Ushiwakamaru and sighed inwardly, thinking that there should be no problem in saying something.

Anyway, just say that this world is distorted and I am responsible for resolving the distortion, so that's all I need to do...

I'd better not tell anyone about what I've found out so far, like the Budd issue and...

Hmm? What else? Koizumi was slightly startled. Why did he feel like he had forgotten something?

"Mr. Koizumi?" Ushiwakamaru noticed that Koizumi seemed a little dazed, and couldn't help but patted Koizumi's shoulder.

Although I don't know why Koizumi is absent-minded, I think he must be thinking about something and suddenly became like this.

"!" Koizumi was slightly startled, and quickly glanced at Ushiwakamaru beside him. Seeing the concerned look on his face, Koizumi finally realized what had happened to him. It seemed that he had been distracted...but what exactly had he forgotten?

Koizumi shook his head, trying to throw all these random things aside.

Now is not the time to think about these things. I still have a mission to complete, and Ushiwakamaru is watching me.

"Sorry... I was distracted just now... Rider, I can't say too much about the problems in this world you mentioned just now. I can only tell you that a distorted existence has appeared in this world. It must be something that has disrupted the original direction of this world's world line. There may even be a crisis that will destroy the entire world. That's why the Servants' help is needed."

There was a hint of caution in Koizumi's tone, which Ushiwakamaru noticed.

However, Ushiwakamaru didn't take it to heart. If what Koizumi said was true, then Koizumi should be responsible for solving this distortion problem. It is normal for the other party to be wary of unfamiliar servants. After all, this is the most important thing to do when you come to an unfamiliar place. You cannot trust others easily, nor can you doubt others casually.

Therefore, the best attitude right now is to be half-believing and half-doubting. Koizumi must have found some special information, but he just didn't tell it all. Now he has only revealed part of the situation.

But it's enough to get these, then at least myself and the military advisor will know what we should do.

"I understand Mr. Koizumi's concerns, so don't worry. Just getting this information is enough. I know exactly what to do next. Once the military advisor gets the information, I'll probably start gathering intelligence on a large scale..."

Ushiwakamaru smiled faintly, not paying too much attention to Koizumi's slight vigilance towards him.

Qin Xin followed Koizumi silently, and she was also a little wary of Ushiwakamaru.

Qin Xin, who had always been indifferent to other things, began to care about Koizumi very much, so she could not allow anyone to hurt Koizumi. However, she knew very well that she could not defeat Ushiwakamaru, so she could only be wary of him.

Koizumi took Qin Xin's vigilance towards Ushiwakamaru to heart. In fact, it was a good thing. One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should also be on guard against others. Although Ushiwakamaru, as a general of the Genji clan, should not plot against him, Koizumi still cannot trust her too much before he gets to know her well.

She wasn't as easy to understand as Jingmi. As long as there was someone who could survive by touching her, Jingmi would surrender without a second thought. But Minamoto no Yoshitsune in front of her...it was better for her to get to know him first...

Chapter 126 Koizumi's Decision

Back to the mission, we must admit that these guys from the Revolutionary Army are quite capable. They lured out all the guys from the Imperial Assassination Force in one go. After Koizumi, Ushiwakamaru and Qin Xin surveyed the terrain at the lured location, they simply waited for the other party to come to them.

Whether as a killer or a general, terrain detection is essential knowledge.

As a killer, this is one of the assassination skills that must be learned and mastered. When facing multiple enemies, it is especially important to understand the layout of all the surrounding terrain, consider how to escape and where to fight, what places can be used, etc.

As a general, one must grasp the right time, place and people, because these are factors that can affect the victory or defeat of a war.

Ushiwakamaru was full of praise for Koizumi's ability to survey the surrounding terrain beforehand.

Ushiwakamaru, also known as Minamoto no Yoshitsune, was a great admirer of tactics. At the end of the Heian period, people had no concept of tactics, believing that victory or defeat in battles was determined by the fighting abilities of individual samurai. However, Yoshitsune's philosophy of war transcended the limitations of the time. He believed that an army was a collective, not just a collection of individuals, and that battle plans must be considered from a collective perspective. He was the first person of his time to view battles from this perspective.

Therefore, for Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who was particular about tactics, it was not essential to survey the terrain for the battle in advance.

If any unexpected situation occurs, what should we do and whether we should evacuate.

She takes all these factors related to combat into consideration, and only then can she be called a general.

However, before the battle, Koizumi believes there is something he must discuss with Ushiwakamaru.

"Black pupil?" Ushiwakamaru was slightly startled, his eyes fixed on Koizumi, with doubt flickering in his eyes.

What happened to Hei Tong? Although she had heard of him, he seemed to be a member of the Imperial Assassination Force.

He has assassinated many high-ranking officials of the Revolutionary Army, and he is also an imperial weapon user, so his strength should not be too bad.
