Following the order from the handsome blond man, the members of the Sternritter were dispersed throughout the palace to stand guard.
Although they didn't believe that the two shinigami dared to break into His Majesty's palace, this was the captain's order after all.
In the corridor of the side hall, two Quincys were patrolling, complaining as they moved.
"Really? Those shinigami are obviously weak, so why do we have to put so much effort on guard? Can't we just kill them directly?"
"Why are you talking so much? Just do it when the captain tells you to patrol. If those adults hear you, you'll have a hard time. But... I don't believe those shinigami have the guts to come to our base camp. By the way, after the patrol, shall we go have a drink?"
"Okay! But the wine here is too bland, and the food is terrible. I kind of miss the good wine from my hometown."
"Me too."
Two people walked past in the corridor, talking and laughing.
After their voices could no longer be heard, a hand suddenly appeared on the wall of the corridor. With a light stroke of the hand, an invisible light curtain was torn off, and Yamabuki and Saitō appeared under the light curtain.
"The vigilance of these people is too low, isn't it? If we launch a direct surprise attack, they will surely suffer heavy casualties." Saitō said in a low voice.
Yamabuki also lowered his voice: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that some of these Quincy will awaken some strange Schrift abilities. We still don't know who attacked us. If we attack rashly, it is likely to cause a large number of casualties, which will not be worth the loss."
Moreover, the information obtained by Yamabuki indicated that Yhwach had entered a dormant state. As to how he fell asleep and whether he had awakened to the Almighty, it is still unknown. The previous ideas were just Yamabuki's own guesses.
"Shh, someone is coming!" Yamabuki grabbed Saitō Furōfushi's ponytail and pressed against the wall again. He waved his arm lightly, and curved light enveloped the bodies of the two people.
Just then, a Quincy in a white robe came over. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a soldier, and his demeanor was different from those soldiers.
"Why do I hear noises over here? Am I hallucinating?" The Quincy stared at the empty corridor with a strange look on his face. After a while, he slowly said, "Really? The captain is too cautious. How could those shinigami have the guts to attack our base camp?"
Saitō almost lost control. He reached out and gently touched his neck, signaling to Yamabuki, asking if they wanted to talk to each other and kill him.
Yamabuki shook his head slightly. Their target was Yhwach, and it would be best not to act rashly before seeing the sleeping Yhwach.
Now the two of them are in the enemy's base camp. There are more than twenty of those powerful members of the Sternritter here. If they are surrounded by these people, even Yamabuki will not be sure to break out.
After all, many people's Schrift have already involved the rules, such as Momo's chains. Theoretically, no attack can cut through the chains. Fortunately, Yamabuki's zanpakutō is a space-based one, which should be above the opponent's ability according to the rules, so the chains can be easily cut through.
And who knows how many people possess this ability?
Saitō said in a mosquito-like voice, "This is too passive. I'll go get two of their clothes and change into them later."
"OK."
Soon the Quincy also left, and Yamabuki and Saitō quietly jumped onto the roof.
Just when the two of them were worrying about where to get two sets of clothes, the two Quincys who were on patrol just now came back.
He kept complaining while patrolling.
It seems that the lower classes on both sides are dissatisfied with the decisions of the upper class, especially the tyrant Yhwach.
He carved Schrift on his men only so that they could better absorb the power of souls.
No matter where these Quincy with Schrift engraved on them destroy their enemies, the enemy's souls will be devoured by Yhwach through the Schrift.
Yamabuki and Saitō were hiding above, staring at the two Quincy. Yamabuki took out a rope and lowered it down silently. The Quincy on the left was still complaining about why it was not time for the shift change yet, but when he turned his head, he found that his companion was gone.
"Hmm? Stop playing around and come out!"
Little did he know that his companion had been put around the neck and dragged into the air. In order to avoid leaving any blood, Yamabuki strangled him to death with his bare hands.
Another Quincy was still curious about where his companions had gone, but when he looked up, he found that there were two people on the beam!
Quincy opened his mouth in fear, but before he could scream, a flying rope wrapped around his neck. The powerful spiritual pressure directly destroyed his vocal cords and then pulled him into the air.
Before he could react, a hand grabbed his neck and crushed the cervical vertebra.
Then the two of them stripped the clothes off the two bodies.
Yamabuki was very generous in changing. As a grown man, he was not afraid of being seen. He originally thought that the little girl Saitō would be shy and timid, but he didn't expect that she was also very generous and took off her shihakushō directly to change clothes.
You have to know that there was no underwear in Japan in that era, so once you take it off, you can see almost everything!
"Well... I felt so dry when I was wearing clothes. I didn't expect that I would be so sexy after taking off my clothes!" Yamabuki said with the mentality that it would be a waste not to see.
Saitō threw his original clothes on Yamabuki's head.
"As expected, these are the things that men think about." Saitō said proudly, "Have you and Unohana, ahem, done it? How does it feel?"
"Don't make us sound so dirty. We are just a simple boyfriend and girlfriend, and we just live together." Yamabuki looked around. He also wanted to take the relationship between the two to the next level, but he could never find the right time to speak.
"Scrap! If I were a man and lived with her, I could take her down in three days!" Saitō said smugly.
"You talk as if you understand a lot? Can I show my eyes, please?" Yamabuki pulled the clothes that Saitō threw at him off his head and found that Saitō had already changed.
The pure white uniform made the wild girl look more like a career beauty.
Then, the two men quietly landed on the ground, pretending to be Quincy on patrol.
Judging from this palace, there should be quite a few Quincy people. It is impossible for all of them to know each other and just take advantage of the situation.
