Regardless of what Fubuki would encounter upon her return.
Rosen was discussing the division of labor with the group members.
And it was finally decided that they would split into two groups upon returning to the Imperial Capital.
One team, led by Gabriel, would search for Night Raid members.
The other team, led by Esdeath, would take Rosen and a few others to the Imperial Court for an audience with the emperor.
As a Grand General, she should be rewarded by the emperor upon her return to the Imperial Capital.
And every time the little emperor held court, Minister Honest would stand by his side, "gesticulating."
Basically, the little emperor would ask the Minister what he should do, then Minister Honest would answer, and the little emperor would repeat it verbatim.
In just a few years, the little emperor and the Empire had already become Minister Honest's puppets.
Of course.
Even if it were a triangle, it wouldn't matter.
Anyway, wherever the little emperor appeared, Minister Honest would inevitably be by his side.
The reason for doing this was not because he cared much about the little emperor, but purely because he didn't want the little emperor to be influenced by anyone other than himself.
"Gabriel, Frieren, and Fubuki, the three of you can bring Night Raid to the Imperial Capital after you find them."
Rosen said.
"How could it be that easy? If we suddenly appeared in front of Akame and the others, not getting a single cut from Murasame would be considered lucky," Gabriel grumbled.
"I'll try to be quick, but to convince them in a short amount of time, we'll have to use a bit of violence."
"So you mean we need to fight Night Raid?" Frieren asked.
"That's for sure. After all, they're assassins, and if we suddenly descended from the sky and told them we were aliens sent by a chat group to protect them, who would believe us?" Gabriel spread her hands helplessly.
"So we can only suppress them first before they'll listen to what we have to say."
"So, do the two of you have confidence?!"
"If it's a surprise attack, with the strength of the three of us, we might be able to subdue them in the shortest amount of time," Fubuki mused.
"At that time, I'll first use my psychic powers to control a storm and interfere with them. If all goes well, I can handle it alone. If not, then the two of you will have to step in."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel and Frieren nodded slightly.
"Marcille and Saeko Busujima are with Rosen, and then they'll go with Esdeath to the Imperial Capital to take out Minister Honest and Budo. It's all clear now, so let's do it!" Gabriel rubbed her hands together, while also conjuring her wings, halo, and Holy Lance.
Seeing this, Esdeath raised an eyebrow.
What is this winged humanoid creature?
A new type of danger beast?
Are there danger beasts in other worlds?
"Gabriel's profession is an angel. To explain it in terms you can understand, she is the god worshipped by those cultists of the Path of Peace, and angels are subordinates of a god named 'God,'" Rosen explained.
"A god? If there were gods in this world, they should have appeared by now." Esdeath completely disbelieved legends of myths and ghosts.
However, if it were the worlds where the group members resided, perhaps the "gods" she didn't believe in truly existed.
[Bad Woman: "Two fronts advancing simultaneously? As expected, every group mission is quite difficult to complete if there aren't enough people."]
[Bad Woman: "And I've also thought of an important issue: the foundation for a country to maintain stability is its national policy. Esdeath probably doesn't have political talent, right? If she becomes emperor but doesn't know how to govern the country, it won't last long."]
[Shepherd: "It doesn't matter if one can't govern the country oneself. After all, modern societies can no longer be maintained by a single person."]
[Shepherd: "The primary goal now is to pave the way first."]
After speaking in the group, Rosen looked at Esdeath again.
"How long will it take to reach the Imperial Capital by forced march?"
"At full speed, it will take about a week. If we only carry a few days' worth of food, the time can be shortened to five days," Esdeath answered truthfully.
"Too slow. In that case, you'll come directly to the Imperial Capital with us. It'll catch them completely off guard," Rosen said thoughtfully.
"If it's just a few of us, and we can capture a Teigu-class danger beast, a Manta Ray, we can reach the Imperial Capital within a day," Esdeath said.
Rosen didn't answer, instead turning to look at a map hanging in the military tent.
The straight-line distance between the Imperial Capital border and the Imperial Capital was several hundred kilometers. As long as the landing point was calculated well, there wasn't much to worry about.
"Oh, great minds think alike! Rosen, you thought of the same thing as me, didn't you?" Gabriel suddenly punched Rosen.
"With Godspeed, we can instantly reach the Imperial Capital."
"Godspeed?" Hearing the unfamiliar name, Esdeath was a little confused.
"It's a divine art that allows one to instantly teleport to a desired location. Only angels like me... and this colleague next to me can do it." After saying this, perhaps wanting to prove her title as "Heaven's Top Graduate," Gabriel volunteered to take on the task of bringing everyone to the Imperial Capital.
Before that, Esdeath relayed to her deputy the order that she would proceed to the Imperial Capital first to deal with Minister Honest, and the army was to continue its forced march.
Everything was ready.
Gabriel spread her wings, and the halo above her head emitted a soft and warm light.
The power of the angel slowly spread.
A licking-like force swept over everyone's bodies.
"Found it!" A sharp glint flashed in Gabriel's eyes, and the angel's power gently lifted the girl's body upwards.
Buzz—!
The atmosphere vibrated, stirring up a small breeze.
But when the angel's power dissipated, there was no change around them.
Everyone except Rosen was bewildered.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Gabriel immediately reacted.
Her feet felt cold.
She looked down, and past her flat chest, she saw two fair, tender little feet standing alone on the ground.
Gabriel's expression changed slightly.
Where are my shoes?!
Before Gabriel could react, Frieren immediately jumped out and said, "Gabriel, you, the Heaven's Top Graduate, failed again."
"What do you mean 'again'? What do you know?! This was just a strategic error! And it can liven up the atmosphere too!"
But the facts were laid bare, making Gabriel's defense seem very weak.
The next second.
Everyone felt the scenery in front of them change rapidly, and a peculiar sense of dizziness surged into their brains. When they opened their eyes again, what greeted them was no longer a world of ice and snow, but crisscrossing farmland.
This was the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
