"In less than an hour, the sun will set. At that time, it will be easy for us to set out." Kyoraku slightly calculated the time and said.
Lin Nan shook his head. "It's too late, it's been too long. The battlefield is changing rapidly. If you wait for an hour, it may be too late to save many things. Kyoraku, to what extent can your Kageoni affect the shadows?"
Kyoraku blinked in surprise. "How did you know? My Kageoni has a distance limit, and I have never told anyone about it."
"Guess." Lin Nan replied casually.
After Rei-Power reached the sixth level, his feeling of spiritual pressure also rose to a higher level. Based on the research on the enemy Soul Art in "Spirit Particle Mechanics Laboratory", he truly realized the importance of combat radius for the first time.
Any skill of any person has its most cost-effective combat radius. Within this range, the best ratio can be achieved between the effect of the skill and the consumption of spiritual pressure.
Beyond this range, there may be situations where a large amount of spiritual pressure is consumed but only slight damage can be caused. The difference in combat radius also affects everyone's fighting style.
Generally speaking, the larger the combat radius, the weaker the relative attack power. For auxiliary skills, the area of the combat radius is usually larger than that of offensive skills.
Just like Bankai, Four Great Noble Houses's first enemy Byakuya Kuchiki, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's combat radius is much larger than White Emperor Sword, but its attack power is far inferior to White Emperor Sword.
Kyoraku's Kageoni is strictly an offensive skill, and hiding in the shadows is just a side function of it.
Therefore, it is almost inevitable that Kageoni has its specific scope of influence.
"If your Kageoni is used to move between shadows, how far can we move at the longest each time?" Lin Nan looked at Kyoraku seriously,
"I need to understand this before I can formulate a battle plan for us. After all, your Kageoni is our only means of escape now."
Hearing this, Ukitake looked at Amamiya Keiji beside him with some hesitation.
Amemiya immediately understood what he meant when he saw this. "Don't worry, even if I know Kyoraku's ability, I can't beat him. Besides, I still stand with everyone."
Kyoraku chuckled, turned sideways and said to Amemiya, "Amemiya, don't take it seriously. Although I don't have a good impression of you, I still have to explain it to Ukitake. He is not targeting you, but he has always had this cautious character."
Lin Nan only discovered at this moment that Kyoraku and Amemiya were prejudiced against Amemiya, and immediately came to the rescue and said:
"Don't be hostile to Amemiya. He is our friend. In fact, he has been secretly helping us since Zanpakuto was stolen. It's just that I didn't tell everyone in order for his lurking in the Noble Rights Protection Association to go smoothly."
Ukitake looked at Lin Nan with some surprise. "You actually planted our people in the Noble Rights Protection Association?"
"Oh, it was just an accident. I happened to meet him after I was attacked by the Noble Rights Protection Association..." Lin Nan briefly explained the cause and effect, finally solving the long-standing misunderstanding about Amemiya.
"The range that my Kageoni can reach now is a fifty-meter range with me as the center. I can use all the shadows within this range."
Kyoraku Seeing that the misunderstanding had been resolved, he no longer worried and directly stated the scope of his abilities.
Lin Nan nodded slightly. "Okay, fifty meters is enough for sneak attacks on lone enemies. If you just run away, it may be a bit slow."
At Lin Nan's suggestion, several people immediately set off and left Spirit Arts Academy. Fortunately, it was already afternoon, and the sun was setting in the west, lengthening all the shadows. Invisibly, it created certain convenience for the escape route of several people.
Spirit Arts Academy There are still a large number of rebel warriors staying outside, either waiting to attack or on guard duty.
Lin Nan and the others were led along by Kyoraku. Under the eyes of the rebels, they kept jumping in the shadows along the corners and trees, and finally left Spirit Arts Academy without any danger.
"Where are we going?" Kyoraku turned around and asked in the shadow. Seeing that Lin Nan was a little confused, he explained again, "You forgot, I don't know the road very well..."
Lin Nan pondered for a moment, and found that there are now three acquaintances in Seireitei: Shihoin Yota, Kirinji Tenjiro and Shutara Senjumaru.
In terms of positions, Shihoin Yota, who is responsible for commanding 2nd Division and guarding Seireitei, and Shutara Senjumaru, who is responsible for Stealth Force, must face greater dangers than Kirinji who is in the Shino Medical Academy.
As for the deputy captain Sasakibe Chojiro who leads 1st Division, Lin Nan is really not very familiar with him. Furthermore, if the situation is really critical, he still has Bankai who can be used.
"Let's go to the vicinity of 2nd Division first to see the situation of Shihoin Yota. If the situation permits, we can assist him first."
"I heard the movements reported by the rebels on the road just now. Noble Street seems to be one of their targets. Is Kyoraku House also at Noble Street? How about we go check the safety of his home first?" Ukitake suggested from the side.
Kyoraku and Lin Nan looked at each other, smiled and said, "Thanks to the various obstructions from other nobles after the death of our parents, we left Noble Street's residence. My home is now in the first district of South Rukongai·Danzhao. It will definitely be fine."
Several people turned around and headed in the direction of 2nd Division. As time went by, the shadows on the road became longer and longer. Their traveling method also gradually changed from jumping in the shadows to sliding between the shadows, and their speed increased a lot.
The sun sets in the west.
Shihoin Yota, currently leading the 2nd Division team members, is resisting the attack of the rebel warriors in the Noble Street area.
This wave of rebel attacks began to gradually focus on a few fixed areas from the guerrilla warfare that blossomed everywhere.
Central Council Tower, Seijoto Kyorin and, Noble Street.
Central Council Tower and Seijoto Kyorin are guarded by the elite 1st Division. The task of guarding Noble Street naturally falls on 2nd Division and Stealth Force.
The enemy's combat power is very strong, especially their spiritual pressure, which is much stronger than that of the team members.
But fortunately, Shihoin Sennichi had the foresight to integrate the training model of 2nd Division with Stealth Force to a certain extent, focusing on the training of Hakuda and Shunpo.
For the team members who have not yet obtained Shikai, this is a real improvement in their abilities. With the assistance of Stealth Force members, the situation in the two-on-one situation turned into a temporary stalemate.
"Really. As the most handsome Four Great Noble Houses, he actually came to guard these emerging nobles. I don't want to lose face?" Yota faced the stalemate battle. He didn't panic at all. Instead, he complained while observing the battlefield situation.
"I think you are a bit shameless."
A familiar voice suddenly appeared from the side, causing him to jump up from where he was.
Yota took a closer look, and in the shadow beside him, four figures gradually emerged. The black color faded from the figures like a tide, and the original color was restored. The first thing that caught the eye was Lin Nan's teasing smile.
"Why are you here?" Yota touched his heart that was still beating wildly, and glanced at Lin Nan angrily, "It's okay to scare me when you suddenly appear, but you dare to belittle my appearance?"
"... If you can give birth to a fair-skinned girl, I will take back what I said." Lin Nan said bluntly and directly said, "I originally went to 2nd Division to look for you. But the guard at the gate said you guys are here Noble Street. So I came too."
Yota's mouth twitched, he had nothing to say, he could only talk about it:
"Then where did you come from? Spirit Arts Academy?
It seems that these rebels passed by the Spirit Arts Academy when they attacked. We lost some men near the Spirit Arts Academy, and many people in Seireitei's garrison also died. What's the situation there now?"
"They control Spirit Arts Academy, but I don't recommend that you attack there, because you may not be able to defeat it. Also, if you are here, I suggest that you don't defend it..." Lin Nan said to him seriously.
"Don't be too nervous! Although the thief army is not weak in combat effectiveness, our team members are also very powerful. Although it may take two against one, they still can't attack. When other teams return after defeating, these thief armies will naturally be wiped out in one fell swoop."
Yota pointed to the battlefield not far away and confidently interrupted Lin Nan's words.
Before he finished speaking, the nearest rebel warriors suddenly experienced a surge of spiritual pressure, and a faint glow of spiritual pressure immediately bloomed from the blade of the sword. The 2nd Division and Punishment Force members who engaged with them fell instantly into a pool of blood before they could react.
Fortunately, other team members took up positions in time and were able to hold the line of defense without creating any gaps.
Yota's shocked eyes instantly turned to the battlefield. "What, what is going on?!"
Lin Nan and Yota stood side by side, looking at the team members who were still fighting hard and Punishment Force sighed helplessly:
"As I suggested, you shouldn't stick around here. It's probably not realistic to wait for other squads to return. Time is not on our side now."
