"It's not that easy. If we suddenly appeared in front of Akame and the others, I'd be lucky if Murasame didn't stab me."

Gabriel complained.

"I'll try to be as quick as possible, but if I want to persuade them in a short time, I'll have to use some force."

"Does that mean we need to fight the Night Raid?"

"Frilian asked."

"That's for sure. After all, if we were just doing our job as assassins, and suddenly we appeared out of nowhere claiming to be aliens sent by a chat group to protect you, no one would believe us, right?"

Gabriel shrugged helplessly.

"So we have to suppress them first before we can get them to listen to what we have to say."

"So, do you two have any confidence?!"

"If it's a surprise attack, the three of us might be able to subdue them in the shortest amount of time."

Fubuki pondered.

"I'll use my superpowers to control the storm and distract them first. If everything goes smoothly, I can handle it by myself. If not, then the two of you will have to step in."

Upon hearing this, Gabriel and Frillie nodded slightly.

"Marshiel and Saeko Busujima will stay with Rosen, and then go to the Imperial Capital (AHDJ) with Esdeath to kill the Minister and Budo. Everything is clear now, so let's do it!"

Gabriel rubbed her hands together, simultaneously conjuring wings, a halo, and the Holy Lance.

Seeing this, Esdeath raised an eyebrow.

What is this winged humanoid creature?

A new type of monster?

Are there dangerous species in another world?

“Gabriel’s profession is angel. To put it in terms you can understand, angels are the gods worshipped by the followers of the Path of Peace. Angels are the subordinates of a god called ‘God’.”

Rosen explained.

"Gods? If there are gods in this world, they would have shown themselves long ago."

Esdeath has absolutely no belief in myths, ghosts, or other such legends.

However, if it were the worlds where the group members lived, perhaps the "god" she didn't believe in truly existed.

[Bad Woman: "Pushing two lines forward simultaneously? It seems group missions are quite difficult to complete if there aren't enough participants."]

[The wicked woman: "And I've also thought of an important issue, which is that the foundation for a country's stability lies in its national policies. Esdeath probably lacks political talent, right? If she becomes empress but doesn't know how to govern the country, it won't last long."]

[The shepherd: "It doesn't matter if I can't govern a country; after all, a modern nation can't be maintained by one person alone."]

[The shepherd: "Our primary objective now is to pave the road."]

After speaking in the group chat, Rosen looked at Esdeath again.

"How long would it take to reach the capital if we marched at full speed?"

"If we go at full speed, it will take about a week. If we only bring a few days' worth of food, it can be shortened to five days."

Esdeath answered truthfully.

"It's too late. In that case, you should come with us directly to the capital. That way, we can catch them off guard."

Rosen said after a moment's thought.

"If it's just a few of us, and we can catch a particularly dangerous manta ray, we can reach the capital within a day."

Esdeath said.

Rosen did not answer, but instead looked at a map hanging in the military tent.

The straight-line distance between the capital's border and the capital is several hundred kilometers. As long as the landing point is calculated correctly, there is no need to worry too much.

"Oh, great minds think alike! Rosen, you're thinking the same thing as me, aren't you?"

Gabriel suddenly punched Rosen.

"If you use the Divine Speed ​​Step, you can arrive at the capital instantly."

"Swift Steps?"

Esdeath was puzzled when she heard a name she didn't understand.

"It's a divine spell that can instantly teleport you to any place you want to go. Only angels like me... and the guild next to me."

After saying that, Gabriel, perhaps wanting to prove her title as the "top graduate of the Celestial Realm," took the initiative to take on the task of bringing everyone to the capital.

And before that.

Esdeath then relayed to her adjutant that she would go to the capital first to deal with Ernest, and that the army should continue its forced march.

Everything is ready.

Gabriel spreads her wings, and the halo above her head emits a soft and warm light.

The power of the angels slowly spread.

A force, like a lick, swept over everyone's bodies.

"found it!"

A glint flashed in Gabriel's eyes, and the power of the angel pulled the girl's body slightly upward.

Om-!

The atmosphere vibrated, creating a small but significant wave.

But after the angel's power dissipated, nothing changed in the surroundings.

Everyone except Lawson was completely baffled.

After a brief moment of surprise, Gabriel quickly realized what was happening.

My feet feel cold.

Looking down, beyond the flat plain of the moonlit chest, one could see two delicate, white feet standing alone on the ground.

Gabriel's expression changed slightly.

Where are my shoes?!

Before Gabriel could react, Frilian immediately jumped out and said, "Gabriel, you, the top graduate of the Celestial Realm, have failed again."

"What do you mean 'again'? What do you know?! This was just a strategic mistake on my part! It also helped to lighten the mood!"

But the facts are undeniable, making Gabriel's explanations seem utterly weak.

next second.

Everyone felt the scenery changing rapidly before their eyes, and a peculiar sense of dizziness surged into the women's brains. When they opened their eyes again, what they saw was no longer a snowy landscape, but crisscrossing farmland.

This is the outskirts of the capital.

Chapter 135 Even a Centipede Dies, It Doesn't Fall Apart

The water was gurgling.

Interspersed with the sounds of farmers chatting and laughing.

Esdeath opened her eyes, momentarily dazed and slightly bewildered.

The sun was blazing, birds were chirping, and frogs and insects were croaking in the fields.

The ripples shimmered like fireflies in the sunlight.

A small river meandered past everyone's legs.

Although it's hard to imagine, she still traveled from the northern border to hell on the outskirts of the capital in an instant.

Not far away, the capital city is filled with skyscrapers, especially the castle where the royal family lives, which is the most prominent landmark in the capital.

"Let's split up here. Esdeath and I will head straight to the Imperial Capital, while you and Gabriel will search for Night Raid in the deep mountains outside the Imperial Capital."

Rosen didn't give Gabriel a chance to feel awkward and quickly assigned tasks.

"Okay, but Esdeath, where is that mountain where the night raid took place in the anime?"

Fubuki nodded and then asked.

The capital city is surrounded by mountains. Although the anime shows the base of the night raid, it only gives a general location.

"If I remember correctly, it should be on the east side, where there are few people and even hunters rarely venture there."

As a member of a tribe on the border, Esdeath remembered the terrain and other information very clearly, so she quickly gave an answer.

"Let's go then. We don't need to use the Swift Step technique for such a short distance."

After Fubuki finished speaking, the eerie green superpower dragged his body up into the air.

Frillian nodded to the group members and used her staff to cast a flight spell.

"Let's see who finishes first!"

Gabriel flapped her wings barefoot, her eyes full of defiance.

After the three left...

Rosen also followed Esdeath to the Imperial Capital.

Maruhiel and Saeko Busujima stayed close to Rosen, so that he could intervene in time if any unexpected situation arose.

This worry only eased slightly when the group arrived at the gates of the capital.

After all, no matter where you are, the bustling and noisy atmosphere will greatly reduce your negative emotions.

Marushir looked at the crowd around her.

Ordinary people, merchants, laborers, the poor, and prostitutes—even before entering the city, the flow of people was far more bustling than on the small island where the maze was located.

There were many vendors selling their wares in the open space near the city gate, and the atmosphere of daily life was completely overflowing.

"It looks even more lively than my hometown. I can't tell any of the plot from the animation at all."

Marushal was amazed.

To avoid suspicion, before taking action, Marushir disguised herself simply by wearing a hat to cover her signature pointed ears.

"It's even more bustling than the city center of Bedmaster City before the apocalypse, and it's already comparable to some international metropolises."

Saeko Busujima nodded in agreement.

"After all, it's an empire that has stood for a thousand years. Its foundation is still intact, so no matter how it declines, it won't happen in an instant."

Rosen explained.

But let alone them, even Rosen himself was surprised by the bustling scene in the capital.

In fact, before the start of the Akatsuki anime storyline, in the few months following the ascension of Minister Ernest and the young emperor, the already declining empire had already begun its path to destruction.

Even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily; those people who have not yet been crushed still need to live.

However, behind the glamorous facade often lies nothing but a mirage.

Otherwise, the revolutionary army would never have appeared.

"You are... Lady Esdeath?!"

"It really is Lady Esdeath!"

"How did you get here!"

"Lady Esdeath, do you...do you remember me? The last time you returned in triumph, you even made eye contact with me!"

The soldiers guarding the city gates were originally eyeing some merchants who wanted to enter the capital, trying to see if they could skim some money off them.

But Esdeath's figure truly stood out from the crowd.

His iconic pure white military uniform and long silver-blue hair made him stand out like gold in the sand among the people.

After they recognized Esdeath, the nearby crowd erupted in cheers.

They excitedly surrounded Esdeath.
