With the death of Gremmy, this highland imagined by him easily collapsed and disappeared without a trace.
Zheng Shui created a large-scale Auspicious Cloud, lifting Kenma and others in mid-air.
Kenma looked at the completely destroyed city below, his expression turned gloomy.
From the mouth of Gremmy, I learned some not-so-good news.
Haschwalth is still alive, and the body of Yhwach was also taken away.
Kenma's joy after winning was immediately washed away.
When he thought about his plan and was deceived by Haschwalth, Kenma felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
As for Gremmy, Kenma is not sure yet, but I believe it with 70% confidence.
But judging from his previous attitude towards Yhwach and others, it was obvious that he was resentful.
What he confided before his death did not seem like a lie.
After a war, so many people were killed and injured. Although Shadow Empire was captured, the most basic strategic goal was achieved.
But Yhwach's current situation is unclear, which ultimately leaves a trace of haze in Kenma's heart.
He looked at Sengoku beside him, frowned and said, "Onmitsukidō came in with the army, just to set up a barrier here to prevent the enemy from escaping."
"Even if it takes time to set up after entering, Quincy may not be able to react in such a short time--"
"Even if Haschwalth really breaks through the barrier and escapes, Onmitsukidō will definitely be alerted."
He looked at Shisui again and asked, "Has there been any information from Onmitsukidō's barrier?"
Shisui shook his head. "The barrier has not been revoked yet, everything is normal."
Sengoku Understand.
"Great King means - King of the Quincy and others are not here now, they are just hiding somewhere in the shadows, waiting for us to lift the barrier before they have a chance to escape?"
"Then don't cancel the barrier yet. Let the army cooperate with Onmitsukidō and conduct a careful search. Maybe we can still find traces of them!"
Kenma became suspicious and his tone became ambiguous.
"These Quincy are masters of manipulating Reishi. Maybe there is a way to bypass the barrier or escape secretly without triggering the alarm!"
This is also a guess.
He looked at Sengoku and ordered, "Then do as you say first, dig deep into this shadow for me, don't let go of any place!"
"As you command!"
Sengoku was about to take out Den Den Mushi and give orders to the army when he was stopped by Kenma.
"You have the prisoners brought over and they assemble in that clearing."
He looked down and pointed.
Sengoku looked at it, and it was an area in front of Silbern.
The streets and buildings there were not destroyed by the magma that Akainu fell from the sky, but they were also affected by the battle and were razed to the ground.
Now only a ruin is left.
Sengoku nodded, and before jumping off the cloud, he looked at Akainu.
"Akainu, you also come with me."
"There may be some Quincys hiding down below who are taking advantage of the chaos. Find them."
Akainu responded with a serious expression and jumped down together with Sengoku.
Kenma waved to Shisui beside him and said, "Let's go down and take a look at the prisoners."
Regarding Haschwalth's plan, he might be able to get some accurate information from the mouths of those captured Sternritter.
Maybe we can also confirm the information of Yhwach.
Compared with Kenma's dissatisfaction, Mayuri Kurotsuchi on the side looked quite happy.
Holding the head left behind by Gremmy tightly in my arms was like holding a rare treasure.
This is a valuable sample he took the opportunity to collect when he collapsed in the highlands.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's weird face was baring its big yellow teeth at the moment, and there was an unstoppable smile on his face.
His appearance made Kenma very unhappy.
Turning his head to look over, there was a faint hint of discomfort on his serious face.
"Mayuri Kurotsuchi, you look very happy!"
Upon noticing Kenma's unkind gaze, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's heart skipped a beat, and the excitement on his face instantly disappeared.
"No, no!"
Hearing Kenma call him by his name, Mayuri Kurotsuchi waved his hands repeatedly.
Everyone can tell that Kenma is in a bad mood right now, and he doesn't want to get into trouble at this time.
He thought for a moment and immediately changed his target.
"Although we won the previous battle with that guy who was playing with poison, the guy finally released a Poison Ball, which implicated his own body, and his whole body was completely dissolved by the poison."
"At the time, I thought he was involved in his own attack because of his carelessness. Now it seems that he deliberately destroyed his body to cover up the matter for the Visionary and mislead us!"
Kenma said in a bad tone, "The brain in your arms mentioned this kind of thing before you died, so there is no need for you to repeat it here."
"I want to ask you, is there any other way to identify whether what this guy said before his death is true? If true, can we find the location of Yhwach!"
"This, this--"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was speechless for a moment, I couldn't speak.
He admitted that he was a genius, but geniuses are not omnipotent. How could they do such a thing so easily?
Isn't this forcing someone to do something difficult?
However, it seems that Kenma is in a bad mood right now. If he directly denies it, he might be angered and punished.
His heart moved and he whispered, "Then - how about I go down and look for it?"
"Go quickly!"
Kenma stared.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was so excited that before Auspicious Cloud landed, he immediately jumped down holding the brain in his arms.
He was afraid that if he moved too slowly, even the baby's head in his arms would be taken away by Kenma's words.
Shisui's Auspicious Cloud quickly landed on the ground and came to the open space pointed out before.
Sengoku took advantage of the moment Kenma landed to arrange for soldiers to escort the prisoners over.
Those Quincys were all disgraced, their spiritual power was restrained by Kido Binding Vow, their hands were tied up with ropes, and they were connected in rows.
In this open space, only a small part of Quincy from the nearest area was escorted, and most of the rest are still on the way.
And those five Sternritter were sent over early.
The five people had their hands and feet tied and were forced to kneel on the ground. At the front were Shimazu Toyohisa and Nasu Yoichi, who were leading the team to guard them.
Seeing Kenma coming over, Shimazu Toyohisa was quite excited and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Kenma, this way."
"This time, we won a big victory!"
Behind him, Yoichi's eyebrows are curved, and his delicate face reveals a bright smile.
These two people are in the military, and Sengoku has not told them about Yhwach.
Kenma suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to force a smile from his face, but he couldn't smile at this moment.
He could only nod his head expressionlessly.
"Grandfather, Yoichi, just be fine."
"Of course, I am Onishimantzu!"
Shimazu Toyohisa folded his arms across his chest, showing pride.
"In this battle, I beheaded a lot of people, at least hundreds of them!"
Yoichi came over and joked, "How can there be so many? There are many people, but you can only cut off their heads after they have been hit by my arrow."
"That's what I chopped down, it's my contribution!" Shimazu Toyohisa retorted subconsciously, thought about it, and then said in a low voice, "Let's count you as a contributor."
Kenma looked at the rows of prisoners kneeling in the open ground like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and his eyes swept over these people's faces one by one.
These Quincy are either dejected, angry, or ferocious--
When they saw Kenma approaching, the many soldiers in front were still so respectful. They knew without even thinking that they were important generals of the enemy invading their homeland this time.
Suddenly there was a burst of noise, full of obscene words, used to vent anger!
After being slapped or beaten by the soldiers around him, his voice gradually fell away after a lesson.
Kenma's eyes finally fell on the five Sternritter at the front.
"Are these the five captured members of the Knights?"
"Not bad!"
Shimazu Toyohisa nodded and looked at these five people with a solemn expression on his face.
"Kenma, what are you going to do with them?"
"They served as generals in the Shadow Empire. Now that they are defeated and captured, they should have to commit seppuku and apologize!"
A man with a rough face suddenly raised his head and glared at Kenma.
"You bastards, it turns out to be Shinigami!"
Through the Shinigami uniform on Kenma, he recognized Kenma's identity as Shinigami at a glance.
"You have invaded our homeland and killed so many of our compatriots - I don't know how many old people and children have died in your hands - it was like that nine hundred years ago, and it is like this now. How can you have the face to say this to us from above!"
"Bah!"
After that, he spat and spat at Kenma people.
But the distance was too far, and it couldn't be reached at all, so it could only fall to the ground without strength.
Shimazu Toyohisa walked over and threw the ribs around his waist in front of this man.
"In the final analysis, you lost!"
"For the sake of fighting with us, if you still have the honor of being a warrior, then go ahead and commit seppuku. Let me correct your mistake!"
After saying that, he pulled out the nodachi from his waist and tied it in front of his body with both hands.
After repeated battles, the blade of this sword was full of gaps and curls, and it was unclear whether it could still cut off a person's head.
Kenma spoke up to stop it.
"Grandfather, wait, I have something else to ask them."
"Oh."
Shimazu Toyohisa put down the sword and walked to one side.
Kenma asked this person, "What is your name? What is Schrift given by Yhwach?"
The man kept silent and glared at Kenma.
Yoichi introduced, "This southern barbarian's name is Driscoll Berci·Belxi, Schrift[0], and his ability is the Overkill."
"The Overkill? Doesn't sound like a good person."
Kenma looked at this person, his voice was low.
"Driscoll Berci, answer me, Haschwalth, as the deputy of Yhwach and the deputy king of this empire, did he give you any orders when he directed your counterattack?"
"Hmph!"
The man snorted coldly and still did not speak.
"He's quite a tough guy.
Seeing this, Kenma nodded slightly.
He just likes tough guys.
"Loyalty is the most important thing. Since you are so loyal to Yhwach, I will satisfy you."
He waved his hand to this person crisply.
"Solution!"
Countless slashes appeared through the air, and they all fell on this man.
Boo hoo hoo hoo!
Accompanied by dense slashes, the man was unable to even utter a cry and was cut into a puddle of minced meat, with blood splattering.
The air was suddenly filled with blood.
Blood splashed onto the girl next to him, dyeing half of her body red, and the ground where she was kneeling below was soaked in blood.
"Ah!"
The girl was startled by the sight in front of her, her eyes shrank, full of horror, and she let out repeated exclamations.
She raised her head and looked at Kenma, who was walking over, with a look full of fear.
It's like a weak lamb looking at a demon that can take his life at any time.
Kenma killed one person, and the anger in his heart was vented, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
He looked down at her.
"What about you?"
This girl, Kenma, is quite impressed.
She should be a member of the Quincy girl group. The girl Quincy has the ability the Thunder.
The ability attributes are the same as Yoruichi, both are the Thunder."
The girl looked frightened, obviously frightened by the killing of Kenma.
It seems that what I just did to kill the chicken and act like a monkey has worked.
Kenma stretched out his hand and pointed at the girl.
"I hope you won't make me angry."
"I, I, I----"
The girl opened her mouth in panic, but due to the timidity in her heart, she couldn't even say a complete sentence for a while.
Shimazu Toyohisa on the side frowned and said, "Kenma, killing surrendered enemies is not an honor, but a shame for a warrior."
Kenma's action just now was so sudden that he had no chance to speak.
Immediately discouraged.
"Not to mention, the other party is still a girl."
"Grandfather, I'm not a samurai."
Kenma's words immediately left Shimazu Toyohisa speechless.
"Yes."
He reacted suddenly, held the sword in his hand, and tapped the palm of his hand with the handle.
"But even so, killing prisoners is ultimately unlucky."
"Same."
Kenma thought for a while and slowly put away his hand.
The girl had just closed the door and walked away, and her clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
At that moment, she felt an unprecedented crisis, the threat of death was extremely strong, and she was afraid that she would die in the next second.
At this moment, I managed to survive, but my whole body was no longer able to support myself, and my body collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
A pair of clogs appeared in front of her, and the white footbags were even more conspicuous.
She raised her head with difficulty and saw that it was the brutal Shinigami!
"I--"
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Shinigami lift one foot, then her back sank, and she was lying on the ground, with her face buried in the soil.
Kenma stepped her into the dust and asked in a cold voice, "I'm in a bad mood now, you'd better pay more attention."
"I said it, I said it! I'm going to say it right now!"
The girl turned her head and said hurriedly, "My name is Candice·Cartnip, Your Majesty--Yhwach gave me the Schrift [T], the Thunder."
Seeing that the girl was so sensible, Kenma pulled back her feet.
"Continue."
"Yes, yes." Candice said, "After you invaded - no, entered the empire, Haschwalth did not give us any orders."
"Those actions that commanded Quincys to resist were not orders from Haschwalth, but were made by everyone at Sternritter."
Seeing that Kenma was listening without saying anything, Candice breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, the lives of people like myself have been saved for the time being.
"Even when everyone at Sternritter sent people to ask for Haschwalth's next order, they didn't receive any contact, as if they had disappeared from the world."
After hearing this, Kenma already understood.
It seems that as early as the beginning of the invasion, Haschwalth prepared for the worst and prepared to take people away.
No wonder the escape was so quick.
And these members of Sternritter were treated as pawns by Haschwalth and thrown directly into the war.
The Visionary was also released to confuse them and delay time.
Thinking of this, Kenma also had to admit that Haschwalth's decisive action was just surprising.
"Oh, it's pitiful that you have such a leader.
Looking at these prisoners, Kenma sneered.
Yhwach has a violent and ruthless temper, and Haschwalth is so decisive, which really makes these Quincys suffer.
"Since you are so knowledgeable, I will give you a chance."
He pulled out Zanpakuto from his waist and silently recited Zanpakuto's name in his heart.
A clear light shone on the blade.
Connect, Kiritsugu!"
