After hearing what Koizumi said, Akame and Tatsumi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. So that's how it is... This world is actually a dream world... And there are actually servants who have usurped the power of Doremi Suit, the ruler of dreams, and are planning to use dreams to replace reality to allow the Empire to complete the great cause of unifying the world!
Furthermore… the people in the dream are so enthusiastic about the empire. If reality were replaced, then there's no doubt the entire empire would unify the world in an instant… If it weren't for the fact that dreams replacing reality would lead to the collapse of world order and destruction, thus attracting the attention of the restraining forces, then the boss behind the scenes would have truly achieved his goal… This is truly terrifying…
So, even Akame and Tatsumi couldn't help but feel a little shocked when they heard about this.
After all, even they couldn't imagine such a thing. The subjects of the entire empire looked fanatical.
"But who could do such a thing? Could it be a minister of the empire? Akagi?"
Tatsumi looked at Akame in front of him with a puzzled look. Perhaps Akame was more clear about these things.
And Akagi couldn't help but frown slightly. To be honest, if the minister were to become a heroic spirit... she found it a little hard to accept.
The heroic spirits are the incarnations of the souls of heroes with great achievements after their death, but some ministers are absolutely infamous.
How on earth could such a minister become a so-called heroic spirit and even be summoned out... It's really frustrating, and it's very likely that something like this will happen this time... But... was this really caused by the other party?
Chi Tong frowned slightly, feeling very confused... She always felt that this didn't seem like something the minister had done.
After all, the Minister wasn't actually that keen on world domination. Logically, the thing he cared about was his own power... Why would he use the Holy Grail to do something like this...
And according to Tatsumi, the people of the imperial capital lived and worked in peace and contentment, and even the nobles' ways had completely changed...
If it's just to consolidate one's power, then there's no need to change these things...
This simply feels like a waste of time, it's really strange... Akagi said in his heart.
"Although it's possible...but if it's a minister, some things seem a bit unnecessary..."
Koizumi couldn't help but nod slightly at Akame's words. Although he didn't know what kind of guy the minister was, if he thought about it based on his impression of the extreme corrupt officials, some things did seem unnecessary.
After all, if he were a minister, there was really no need for him to change the style of the nobles within the imperial capital.
Although I don't know what kind of girl Alia is in the real world, I can tell from the Reas family in the real world that the style of those nobles is really not good. Bullying civilians is already a small matter. What is even more excessive now is targeting those ignorant people who have just arrived in the imperial capital.
From what the Reas family did to those outsiders, Gu Quan could guess the character of these nobles. Although he could not rule out the possibility that there might be some who were untainted by the mud, as the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." How clean could someone who crawled out of such a pile of mud be?
So, there's really no need for the Minister to change these guys' ways, because there's no benefit...
And even if the minister wanted to fulfill his wish, it would surely be to allow him to enjoy himself more fully or to consolidate his power... Koizumi pondered silently, so, this really wasn't like the minister's style.
"I've never met that minister, and I've only just joined Night Raid, so I don't know much about him. But if you think about it from the perspective of a corrupt official, what Akame says makes sense... He does have some un-corrupt official-like behavior..." Koizumi quickly expressed his opinion.
"If that's the case... then who could it be..." Tatsumi frowned slightly, feeling confused.
"No matter who it is... at least the intelligence is now clear. The enemy is inside the imperial capital... As long as we gather the necessary forces, we can go straight to the enemy, right?" Koizumi looked at Akame and Tatsumi with a smile on his face.
The two of them couldn't help but be slightly startled. It seemed that this was the explanation...
"But before that, I still have to deal with some things in the real world. Right now, the Servants haven't all gathered together. There are two at the Revolutionary Army headquarters, and three more have contracts with me. The remaining one is at the Night Raid headquarters... It's best to wait until I gather all of them together."
Of course, Koizumi didn't include Doremi, because Doremi can't actually be considered a combat force...
Besides... who knows if there are other Servants in the real world...
Chapter 156 Return
Koizumi opened his eyes slightly, but the memory still lingered in his mind.
Subconsciously, Koizumi heaved a sigh of relief... According to the time calculation, it was still morning in the real world.
Don't think it seems like such a long time has passed. In fact, after Koizumi had a fight with Bud at night, he was rescued by Doremi. After talking to Doremi, Doremi directly transferred Koizumi to the outskirts of the imperial capital, and then he met Akame and Tatsumi. The whole time was not even as long as one night, but it was still quite a long time.
As for why he knew... it was because when Koizumi woke up, Kurono was already awake. At that moment, Kurono was looking at Koizumi with disdain, as if to say, "How dare you sleep in?"
Well, Koizumi was speechless about this. After all, it was his fault for having such a great time in the imperial capital last night.
However, it seems that because of Kurone's inexplicable familiarity with Koizumi, she doesn't feel unfamiliar with Koizumi at all.
Of course, Hei Tong wouldn't take the initiative to say that he felt that Koizumi was very familiar, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Seeing that Koizumi hadn't gotten up yet, Ushiwakamaru didn't bother waking him up. After all, since he had already captured Kurome, he could rest for a while. It was nothing. Koizumi was the Master after all, and it was rare for a Master to fight on the front lines. So, he had to let Koizumi rest.
Qin Xin naturally wouldn't wake up Gu Quan just because she had nothing to do after eating. She had already started to think about Gu Quan.
At this moment, Qin Xin and Ushiwakamaru were watching Hei Tong in front of them very seriously to prevent him from escaping.
As for [March of the Dead: Eighth Chamber], it is currently in Koizumi's arms, so it's not that easy to take it away.
Koizumi kept a close eye on this weapon. Last night, he made sure that Kuroito was truly asleep before he went to sleep himself.
There are also people on guard at night. As for the people on guard, they are of course Ushiwakamaru and Qin Xin. After all, servants don’t need to sleep. Even if they need to sleep, it is only to save the magic power provided by the Master.
Besides, the magic power in Koizumi's body is still very huge, this is Koizumi's own personal experience.
After all, while providing magic power to multiple servants, he can still fight for a long time.
During his training with Esdeath, Koizumi didn't have any time to rest at all, because he had an amazing recovery ability.
Therefore, Koizumi maintained the battle with Esdeath for a long time without even a moment of rest.
What surprised Koizumi was that Esdeath had been in combat mode for the entire day. Doesn't her magic have any limit?
Forget it, after all, he has the Holy Grail as his backing, so how could there be a so-called limit to his magic power?
The Holy Grail itself possesses a high concentration of magic power, and of course it can provide the Servant with almost unlimited magic power.
So Koizumi felt a lot more balanced... In comparison, he seemed quite strong.
"Rider, Qin Xin, have you been on guard all night?"
Koizumi always calls Ushiwakamaru "Rider", not for any other reason, just because it comes to mind.
Ushiwakamaru or something... This childhood name always feels weird, and if I just call him Minamoto no Yoshitsune...
Koizumi thought it was better to forget it. Although the man's name was Minamoto no Yoshitsune, he wasn't that familiar with him. Calling him that directly would feel too intimate. It would be better to wait until their relationship improved.
"Hmm..." Qin Xin nodded silently. Okay, this kid is an honest man.
Ushiwakamaru also nodded lightly. There was nothing to hide. He had long been accustomed to this kind of life.
When I was on the battlefield before, I often didn’t sleep for a whole night. Besides, servants don’t need sleep.
What's more, although the task has been completed now, what if something goes wrong in the middle?
Aren’t there many cases like this where people complete a task and then become inexplicably complacent and end up failing?
"You guys really didn't sleep all night... Never mind, it seems like it's no use saying anything..."
He originally wanted to tell them off, but thinking he might get lectured, Koizumi decided to give up the idea.
He didn't want to be lectured by Ushiwakamaru. Of course, Qin Xin was not a chatterbox, so Koizumi was not willing to be lectured by Qin Xin.
"Lord Koizumi should get some rest... It's not normal for a Master to lead the troops. If the Master is too powerful, we Servants will appear too weak..."
Although Ushiwakamaru had no problem with Koizumi leading the charge, he also didn't want Koizumi to steal Qin Xin's role as a Servant and his own. He wasn't dissatisfied with this little thing, but was very worried.
After all, as a servant, one should protect the Master. However, if the Master is so powerful that one no longer needs oneself, then what is the point of one's existence by the Master's side? Moreover, as a subordinate, no matter how powerful the Master is, one must help the Master eliminate all enemies before the Master stands up... Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty as a subordinate. Ushiwakamaru has always believed this.
Of course, Koizumi was also well aware of this. After all, Ushiwakamaru had always viewed him as a subordinate from the very beginning.
Therefore, Ushiwakamaru, who was already very conscientious as a subordinate, became even more conscientious.
While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's a shame that Koizumi isn't suited to leading his subordinates.
However, Koizumi didn't intend to say anything more about Ushiwakamaru's words. After all, Ushiwakamaru has always been like this.
Koizumi glanced at Heitong slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that in the dream world, he had to call the other party Mr. Koizumi Mr. Koizumi, but in the real world, he had to be the enemy of the other party. It really made him feel helpless.
Hei Tong couldn't help but feel puzzled after sensing the message in Gu Quan's eyes.
What's wrong with this man? He was so lukewarm towards me yesterday, but after a night like this, I feel like his attitude is a little off. Could it be that this man didn't sleep well last night and accidentally hit his head?
Really unable to understand Koizumi's attitude, Hei Tong couldn't help but shook his head. Forget it, it's better not to think too much.
Now that I have been caught by the other party, what I should think about is how to escape from here, instead of thinking about this kind of thing.
Chapter 157 Contract (Part 1)
"...Are you going back to Night Raid with us, Rider?"
Koizumi looked at Ushiwakamaru in front of him with a puzzled look. Doesn't this guy need to go back to the front line to fight?
After all, aside from Ushiwakamaru, the Revolutionary Army is basically made up of nothing but garbage. Besides the Advisor Servant, Ushiwakamaru should be the only one left capable of resisting the Imperial Army. Why doesn't Ushiwakamaru plan to go back?
Moreover, with Ushiwakamaru and the Advisor Servant joining forces, Esdeath and Bud should be the only ones in the Empire who can compete with them except the Three Beast Warriors. Moreover, facing the Advisor Servant, even the Three Beast Warriors might be defeated. After all, the Heroic Spirits of the Caster class are not that weak. This point has been perfectly demonstrated in Fuyuki's Caster.
It's not a good idea to underestimate an opponent because of their class. After all, Koizumi has also been defeated by Assassin, right? Class isn't the reason for weakness. If you're inherently strong, class isn't the factor that affects your strength.
Koizumi dares to say that someone like Yakumo Yukari is very powerful even with the weak Assassin class.
Therefore, we cannot judge the strength of a servant by something like his job description.
It might not be impossible for Ushiwakamaru and the military advisor's servants to join forces and hold back the three beast warriors, but this can only be done outside the imperial capital. If they run inside the imperial capital, it may not be possible to do this.
The reinforcements within the imperial capital were so exaggerated that even Koizumi found them quite daunting.
You have to know that Guquan himself has an extremely strong recovery ability. Basically, as long as the magic power in his body is not exhausted, Guquan can be resurrected continuously, and can even heal any wound on his body instantly.
So, for Gu Quan, endurance is something he has plenty of. After all, it's rare to find guys who can compare with [vampires] in terms of endurance. But if you run to the imperial capital, you'll find a lot of such guys. So, whoever wants to provoke this kind of snake skin can do so. These dogs in the imperial capital are more exaggerated than each other.
Koizumi had deeply experienced the terrifying power of Esdeath and General Bud.
If they really fought with them... Honestly, Koizumi didn't think he had much chance of winning, not to mention that Esdeath and General Bud, who possessed extraordinary strength, could be strengthened in the Imperial Capital. If the Revolutionary Army really reached the Imperial Capital, they would probably be doomed. Fighting in such a place, unless a Servant also possessed extraordinary strength, it would be difficult to withstand two strengthened extraordinary Servants.
If Reimu unleashes all her strength, she can stop General Bud, so who will take on the remaining one?
Is it true that we can only join forces to deal with that guy? After all, that battle maniac is indeed too powerful.
But Koizumi was genuinely curious. How could such a powerful being die? Could someone who could defeat him in single combat really exist? Koizumi kept asking himself this question.
Getting back to the topic, Ushiwakamaru nodded calmly. He wasn't really needed on the front line anyway.
"Don't worry, the war on the front line isn't as serious as you might think. Even if I'm gone, we still have the military advisor. Although I'm not sure of his real name, his abilities are undeniable..."
It was obvious that Ushiwakamaru had great trust in the revolutionary army's military advisor. Although he didn't know the other party's real name, he knew the other party's abilities very well. And since they were in the same camp, there was no need to be too vigilant about him.
Of course, there is no way to be sure that the other party is not your enemy, but at least he is not your enemy now.
"Besides, Koizumi-dono needs to take Kuroneko with him to the Night Raid. It would be disastrous if they encountered something along the way. I have great faith in Koizumi-dono's abilities, but what if the Empire has Servants? Not all Servants are easy to get along with, so let me go too... Koizumi-dono."
Ushiwakamaru's expression was extremely serious, which left Koizumi speechless.
Big sis, you're taking this too seriously... Is this really necessary? I feel like you're watching me.
Koizumi couldn't help but feel helpless... Could this woman be planning to sign a contract with me like Jingmi did?
Of course, Koizumi had no objection, because Ushiwakamaru was a very qualified subordinate.
Having such a subordinate by his side, Koizumi felt very relieved. Such a strong and loyal subordinate was really hard to find... So Koizumi actually felt very strange, why would Minamoto no Yoritomo be afraid of such a loyal subordinate.
Well, everyone is afraid of something that makes one more powerful than their master. Minamoto no Yoritomo would have been scared to death upon hearing this news.
"Since you've said so, let's go back together... If you join Night Raid, I'm sure Najeshitan will be happy too. After all, Night Raid's strength will also increase. But... is this really okay with you? It seems like you haven't reported this to the higher-ups at all..."
Koizumi looked at Ushiwakamaru with a worried look on his face. Is it really okay for her to change jobs like this?
And obviously her specialty wasn't assassination, but fighting on the battlefield as a general...
Should I say that I am willful... if I just change jobs so casually?
Koizumi was silent for a moment, not intending to comment on the other party's behavior.
Because there is no need to do so. After all, this is something they want to do, and it is not nice to just interrupt them.
Furthermore, Koizumi's expression was more of a concern for the other party's presumptuous behavior.
After all, if I don’t report it to my superiors, it would be bad if the other party misunderstood me.
Those guys above are not necessarily much better than your brother Minamoto no Yoritomo... Even if there is a military advisor on their side, it may not be of much use. Sometimes when a leader decides to do something, the people below cannot stop him. After all, the leader still plays a dominant role in the entire organization.
If the other party insisted on doing something to Ushiwakamaru, I'm afraid that even the military advisor servant would not be able to stop him.
In response, Ushiwakamaru simply smiled fearlessly and looked at Koizumi in front of him.
"Don't worry. I've already made this preparation since I heard that Night Raid has a Servant. Although at that time I had no idea there was a Master in Night Raid. But since you are the Master, then I will sign a contract with you. After all, our enemies are the same, right? They are all threats to this world..."
Chapter 158 Contract (Part 2)
Ushiwakamaru and Koizumi signed a contract. She had no ill feelings towards Koizumi. At the beginning, Koizumi's heroic behavior made her change her mind about him. In addition, Koizumi's own powerful strength, if having such a powerful Master is considered shameful, then two-thirds of the Masters in this world would have to jump off the building and commit suicide.
Moreover, Ushiwakamaru himself is not a servant who is ready to destroy the world. Since he has such a pleasing Master, he might as well obey him... ahem... it would be better for him to stay by his side. After all, Ushiwakamaru is a servant after all.
No matter what, servants have to think about themselves. Even if they have such a Master, they cannot stay in this world forever. After all, they do not belong to this world, so it is better for them to complete the important tasks they should complete as soon as possible. Ushiwakamaru also realized this problem after seeing Koizumi.
After all, I can't stay in this world for too long, so it's better for me to complete the task as soon as possible.
Although I am very powerful at this moment, if I have a powerful being as my Master, then my strength will definitely be further improved. In this way, I can play a greater role in the upcoming battles... In fact, the more important point is that I still like Koizumi.
