"That's right."
"Are you sure?"
"No," Yamabuki told the truth.
Once you enter the Quincy Palace, you will not only have to face the Quincy King Yhwach but also the Sternritter and endless enemies.
They have already seen the capabilities of the Sternritter. Any one of them alone is a formidable opponent. It would be painful to think about being besieged by more than 20 members of the Knights.
But why did Yhwach fall into a deep sleep?
Yamabuki has a very bold idea in his mind, that is, Yhwach may not have fully mastered the power of The Almighty, and he wants to use sleep to awaken his own abilities.
Yamabuki knew the level of strength of Yhwach before he awakened to The Almighty.
He is definitely not as good as the current Captain-Commander. If he plays all his cards, he might be able to give it a fight.
What's more, the other party is still in a sleeping state. How can we let go of this opportunity to give him a beating?
Saitō was originally a lawless person. After hearing Yamabuki's bold idea, he slapped the attic hard and said, "Then let's do him a favor!"
As a result, knocking on the attic attracted the attention of those below. Since someone really came up to check, ordinary people couldn't see the shinigami and thought it was a rat.
"You should have a good rest tonight, and we will set out tomorrow morning. Success or failure depends on this. If we can defeat the enemy leader in advance, we will be able to undermine the Quincy's will to fight and avoid a massive destruction of lives." Yamabuki said with some excitement in his heart. Although the Quincy and the shinigami have the same origin, they take two different paths.
The true ability of the shinigami's zanpakutō is to transform Hollows.
But the Quincy wants to destroy all the Hollows in this world.
The void is the soul of an ordinary person. If things go on like this, there will be fewer and fewer souls, and the balance of the three realms will be greatly affected.
In addition, Yhwach's determination to destroy the three realms, return the world to chaos, and create a world without life and death was opposed by everyone. Even many Quincies opposed their Majesty's plan.
It's just that most people don't dare to speak out because of Yhwach's invincible power.
It would be great if Yhwach died early, and Yamabuki would be able to live a peaceful life for at least a few hundred years.
Saitō had just recovered from a serious injury and stayed here to have a good rest. Yamabuki took on the task of patrolling to ensure that no one came to disturb the two of them.
Nothing happened that night until the next morning.
A distance of 150 miles might take several days for ancient people to walk, but for the shinigami it would not take long.
The two of them walked for a day and a night and finally saw the Quincy's palace at dusk the next day.
It has to be said that this palace was built more beautifully than any imperial palace of this era, and it covers a huge area, almost equivalent to an ancient Japanese city.
This wave of Quincy really knows how to play.
At this time, the members of the Sternritter who were injured in Kyoto also returned to the palace.
Front hall.
This is where the Sternritter usually handle their affairs. Because they cannot disturb His Majesty's sleep, they usually work and hold meetings here. At this moment, a woman was kneeling in the center of the front hall. It was Ishida Oborozuki.
"You actually told the Majesty's secret because you couldn't bear the torture! Do you know how serious a crime this is?" At the very top of the front hall stood a handsome blond man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with blond hair draped over his shoulders, handsome and tall, and a white robe made him look even more handsome.
That kind of temperament and heroic demeanor can only be seen in certain BL novels.
The clothes on Ishida Oborozuki had changed from the original expensive twelve-piece kimono to ordinary linen clothes worn by prisoners. He had shackles on his hands and feet, and his expression was gloomy.
She also knew that she had made a big mistake. She could not endure the physical torture and told the enemy the information. There was nothing to say even if she were executed now.
"Ishida Oborozuki, do you have anything else to defend yourself?" The handsome blond man looked at Ishida Oborozuki below with arrogance.
A mere half-blood is actually valued so highly by His Majesty. This has long caused dissatisfaction among many pure-blood Quincies.
Ishida Oborozuki also knew that he had made a big mistake, so he did not make excuses. He said in a hoarse voice, "The enemy now knows the location of the palace. Please be prepared, Captain. The enemy may attack at any time!"
Hearing Ishida Oborozuki's words, the other members of the Sternritter burst into laughter.
"Are you confused? This is the base camp of the Quincy. All the high-end combat forces are gathered here. No matter how powerful the Shinigami you mentioned is, he doesn't have the courage to attack here. What's more, one of the two Shinigami was seriously injured. Now they should have returned to Soul Society like stray dogs, right?" said a member of the Sternritter with disdain.
At this time, Bard stood up.
"Captain, I don't think Oborozuki is exaggerating. I have fought against those two Shinigami before. Their strength is indeed completely different from the Shinigami we encountered before. There is a dimensional gap. Captain, please strengthen the defense of the palace. In case something goes wrong, His Majesty..."
The handsome blond man raised his eyebrows. He also knew that Bard had a crush on Oborozuki. Moreover, Bard was the backbone of the Sternritter. Now that the war was approaching, it would be better not to tear his face with him for the time being.
"Okay, let's do as you say. As for how to deal with this woman, let's wait until His Majesty wakes up." The captain said lightly.
I was really smart to leave the offending task to Your Majesty.
In fact, everyone present knew that Ishida Oborozuki would definitely be sentenced to death, but because of Bard, they could only turn a blind eye.
Bard also knew that it would be difficult to reverse the current situation with his own abilities.
He sighed helplessly and bowed slightly to the leader of the Sternritter.
At least during this period of deep sleep, Ishida Oborozuki can live a few more days.
Before he fell asleep, Yhwach had handed over all affairs of the Wandenreich to the handsome blond man. It can be said that he now controls the power of life and death over the entire Wandenreich. If he simply executes Ishida Oborozuki now, no one else can say anything.
They had already dedicated their lives to His Majesty when they joined the Wandenreich, but now this woman leaked important information simply because of torture. Even in Bard's opinion, this is a serious crime. However, he will accompany Ishida Oborozuki through the last moments of her life and hopes that she will not have any regrets.
