At this moment, Bard stepped forward.

"Commander, I believe Longyue wasn't exaggerating. I've fought those two Shinigami, and their strength is indeed completely different from the Shinigami we've encountered before—there's a dimensional gap between them. Please strengthen the palace's defenses, in case anything goes wrong, His Majesty..."

The blond-haired handsome man raised an eyebrow. He knew that Bard had feelings for Longyue, and that Bard was a key Sternritter. With a major battle looming, it was best not to break ties with him for the time being.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. As for how to deal with this woman, we'll decide after His Majesty wakes up," the commander said calmly.

I was incredibly clever to leave the task that would offend people to His Majesty.

In fact, everyone present knew that Ishida Oboro would definitely be executed, but because of Bard, they could only turn a blind eye.

Bard also knew that it would be difficult to reverse this situation on his own.

He sighed helplessly and bowed slightly to the leader of the Sternritter.

At least during this relatively deep sleep, Ishida Oboro can live for a few more days.

Before Yhwach fell into slumber, he had entrusted all affairs of the Wandenreich to the blond-haired beauty. It could be said that he now held the power of life and death over the entire Wandenreich. If he were to execute Ishida Oboro now, no one else could say anything.

They had already given their lives to His Majesty when they joined the Wandenreich, but now this woman had leaked important information simply because she was tortured. Even in Bard's eyes, this was a serious crime. However, he would accompany Ishida Oboro through the last part of her life, hoping that she would not have any regrets.

Chapter 175: Saito, why did you take your clothes off?

At the order of the blond, handsome man, the Sternritter dispersed to various parts of the palace to stand guard.

Although they didn't believe those two grim reapers would dare to break into His Majesty's palace, it was, after all, the commander's order.

In the corridor of the side hall, two Quincy were patrolling, complaining as they went.

"Honestly, those Grim Reapers are clearly weak, why bother with all this vigilance? Why not just charge straight in?"

"Why so much talk? If the commander tells you to patrol, just patrol obediently. If those higher-ups hear you, you're in big trouble. But... I don't believe those Grim Reapers would dare come to our headquarters. By the way, how about we go for a drink after patrol?"

"Great! But the wine here is too weak, and the food is terrible. I miss the fine wine from my hometown."

Me too.

The two people walked past each other down the corridor, chatting and laughing.

After their voices were completely inaudible, a hand suddenly appeared on the wall of the corridor. With a gentle swipe, an invisible light screen was torn down, revealing Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu beneath it.

"These guys are way too unprepared. If we launch a surprise attack, we can definitely inflict heavy casualties on them," Saitō Fubōfu muttered.

Yamabuki Chidori also lowered her voice. "Don't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that some of these Quincy can awaken some strange abilities. We still don't know who ambushed us. If we attack rashly, it could cause a lot of casualties, which would be a loss."

Furthermore, the intelligence obtained by Yamabuki Chidori indicated that Yhwach had entered a state of slumber. As for how he fell into slumber and whether he had awakened All-Knowing All-Powerful, it is still unknown. Those previous thoughts were just Yamabuki Chidori's own speculation.

"Shh, someone's coming!" Yamabuki Chidori grabbed Saitō Fubōfu single ponytail and pressed him against the wall again. With a gentle wave of her arm, Light-Bending Light enveloped the two of them.

Just then, a Quincy entirely in white robes walked over. It was clear at a glance that this person was no ordinary soldier; his demeanor was completely different from that of the common soldiers.

"Why do I hear a sound over here? Am I hallucinating?" The Quincy stared at the empty corridor with a strange expression, and after a long while, slowly said, "Honestly, the captain is too cautious. How could those Grim Reapers possibly dare to attack our headquarters?"

Saitō Fubōfu, reached out and gently touched his Light-Bending Light, gesturing to Yamabuki Chidori, "Should we talk to each other and kill him?"

Yamabuki Chidori shook her head slightly. Their target was Yhwach, and it was best not to make any rash moves before seeing the sleeping Yhwach.

They were now in the enemy's stronghold, where there were more than twenty powerful Sternritter members. If they were surrounded, even Yamabuki Chidori wouldn't be confident of breaking through.

After all, many people's abilities have already touched upon the rules. For example, Momo's the Chain, theoretically, cannot be broken by any the Chain. Fortunately, Yamabuki Chidori's Zanpakuto is Spatial-type, which, in terms of the rules, should be above the opponent's ability, thus allowing it to easily break the Chain.

And who knows how many people still possess this ability?

Saitō Fubōfu, said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "This is too passive. I'll go get a couple of their clothes to change into later."

"OK."

Soon the Quincy left, and Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu, quietly jumped onto the roof.

Just as the two of them were wondering where to get a couple of new clothes, the two Quincy had been on patrol returned.

He patrolled while constantly complaining.

It seems that the lower classes on both sides are dissatisfied with the decisions made by the upper classes, especially the Yhwach.

He inscribed Schrift on his subordinates simply to better absorb the power of souls.

Wherever these Quincy inscribed with Schrift destroy an enemy, the enemy's soul will be devoured by Yhwach through the Schrift.

Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu, hid above, watching the two Quincy. Yamabuki Chidori took out a rope and silently lowered it. The Quincy on the left was still complaining about why it wasn't time for the shift change yet. He turned his head and found that his companion was gone.

"Huh? Stop playing around and come out now!"

Little did he know that his companion had already been dragged into the air with a noose around his neck, Yamabuki Chidori strangled him to death with her bare hands to avoid leaving any bloodstains.

Another Quincy was wondering where his companion had gone when, in a moment of crisis, he looked up and discovered that there were actually two people on the roof beam!

The Quincy gaped in terror, but before he could even scream, a rope wrapped around his neck, the powerful Reiatsu destroying his vocal cords and then hurling him into the air.

Before he could react, a hand grabbed his neck and crushed his cervical vertebrae.

The two of them then stripped the clothes off the two corpses.

Yamabuki Chidori was quite open about changing, not afraid of being seen by others despite being a grown man. He had originally thought that Saitō Fubōfu, this young girl, would be shy and bashful, but to his surprise, she was also very open, taking off her outer garment to change.

Keep in mind that in those days, there were no bras in Japan, so once you took them off, basically everything was visible!

"Hmm... I felt so skinny when I was dressed, but I didn't expect you to be so well-endowed when you took your clothes off!" Yamabuki Chidori said, thinking that she might as well take a look.

Saitō Fubōfu, threw his original clothes at Yamabuki Chidori's head.

"As expected, that's what men think about." Saitō Fubōfu, said with an arrogant expression, "Have you and Unohana already... cough cough, already done it? How did it feel?"

"Don't make us sound so dirty. We're just a very innocent boyfriend and girlfriend, we just live together." Yamabuki Chidori's eyes darted around. He wanted to take their relationship to the next level, but he just couldn't find the right moment to speak.

"Trash! If I were a man living with her, I could win her over in three days!" Saitō Fubōfu said smugly.

"You talk like you know everything? Can I show my eyes now?" Yamabuki Chidori ripped the clothes that Saitō Fubōfu had thrown at her off her head and found that Saitō Fubōfu had already changed.

The pure white uniform accentuated the tomboy's sophisticated, professional aura.

Then, the two quietly landed on the ground, pretending to be Quincy on patrol.

Judging from this palace, there must be quite a few Quincy. It's impossible that all of them knew each other; they were just trying to take advantage of the chaos.

Chapter 176: These Quincy really playing tricks!

To test whether the disguise would be successful, Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu swaggered forward.

They hadn't walked far when they encountered two people.

The two people walking towards them were clearly unsuspecting, and they passed each other by. Yamabuki Chidori gave a thumbs up, indicating that her statement was correct.

Saitō Fubōfu, makes an OK sign. I'm such a clever little devil.

Just then, the two men suddenly turned around and asked, "I've never seen you before. Whose men are you?"

Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu froze in their tracks. Yamabuki Chidori gave Saitō Fubōfu a look. "Should we just kill them here?"

Saitō Fubōfu, gave him a look. "Don't panic, let me test them."

Saitō Fubōfu, coughed lightly, then turned and flashed a very youthful smile, "We're here to change shifts."

The two Quincy discovered that the person who came was a cute girl, and they relaxed their guard slightly. However, they still noticed something suspicious, because the two looked completely different.

The Grim Reaper lineup consists of people with standard Eastern faces, while most of the Quincy are from the West and have Western appearances.

Of course, this is not absolute. For example Ishida Oboro, whose parents are of mixed Eastern and Western descent, looks more like an Easterner.

"Shift change? What's the password?"

Do we need a command to switch shifts?

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was finding the situation troublesome, she suddenly saw Saitō Fubōfu, looking at the two Quincy behind her with a terrified expression, and then giving a very neat salute. "Your Majesty!"

"Huh? His Majesty is here?" The two Quincy hurriedly turned around and prepared to kneel down, only to be knocked unconscious by these two villains.

"If you ask me, we might as well just take them both down; it's a waste of time," Yamabuki Chidori complained.

"It's rare to have a chance to play a semi-spy game, so of course we should have some fun. Besides, we can't just wander around aimlessly; we have to find out their emperor's address." Saitō Fubōfu, slapped one of the Quincy twice hard to wake him up.

The Quincy was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened. It was as if he had heard someone say that His Majesty had arrived, only to be knocked unconscious.

Wait... could these two be enemies?

Saitō Fubōfu, held a sword tightly against the Quincy's throat. "I'll ask you a question, you answer it. If you dare shout or give an irrelevant answer, I'll chop off your head. Understand?"

The Quincy nodded hastily.

It seems that not every Quincy is fearless; most are just ordinary people.

"Where does Yhwach live?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"You... you dare to address His Majesty by his name... who exactly are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the tip of Saitō Fubōfu Zanpakuto already pierced the Quincy's skin.

"Try uttering another word of nonsense!" Saitō Fubōfu said with an unfriendly expression.

"His Majesty resides in the central palace, but that palace is guarded by His Majesty's Sternritter, and ordinary people cannot enter at all," the Quincy said, trembling all over.

"The Sternritter???" Yamabuki Chidori had a bad feeling as soon as she heard the name.

The Sternritter Guard, a thousand years later, is incredibly powerful.

All sorts of bizarre abilities are flying around.

An indestructible the Miracle, Compulsory Execution that dominates all things, All-Seeing All-Killing defenses, and a lethal the Compulsory Quantity kills on first sight.

If the Sternritter of this era possessed the same level of strength...

Yamabuki Chidori felt a headache coming on.

However, the fighting power of the Wandenreich a thousand years ago was probably not as strong as it is now.

After all, the Perfect Sanctification was developed a thousand years later, which can maximize the power of the Quincy.

"How do I get to the palace in the very center?" Yamabuki Chidori asked again.

"Follow this path straight ahead, and at the end you'll see a golden gate. That's where His Majesty sleeps." The Quincy said in a trembling voice, "I'm just a lowly soldier, I don't know anything else. Please spare me."

Releasing them is out of the question; taking them back for experiments is already the greatest mercy we can show.

After saying that, he knocked them unconscious and piled them to one side.

If I succeed in assassinating Yhwach, I won't need these test subjects; if I fail...

There's a high probability they won't leave here alive, and they also won't be able to take these experimental subjects with them.

After hiding the unconscious people, Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu continued forward.

They then encountered three more sentry posts along the way, but no one suspected their identities.

However, just when they thought they had succeeded, a powerful aura appeared from ahead.

Yamabuki Chidori raised an eyebrow slightly, then lowered her hat.

The officer who had passed by them earlier came into view; he appeared to be a member of the Sternritter as well.

This was a middle-aged man, around thirty years old, with a head shaped like a bitter gourd, oval in shape, with a small tuft of hair combed on top. He wore glasses, had fair skin, and gave off a comical and bizarre impression.

Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu suppressed their Reiatsu, so ordinary people could not sense the changes in their Reiatsu.

The officer clearly didn't notice anything unusual about the two people in front of him; he simply brushed past them.

Yamabuki Chidori thought it would all end easily, but unexpectedly, the officer suddenly turned around and pointed at Saitō Fubōfu.

"I've never seen you before?" the officer suddenly asked.

Saitō Fubōfu, forced a smile and turned to say, "I'm new here."

"A newcomer???" The officer strode up to Saitō Fubōfu, and said with a suspicious tone, "I've seen all the newcomers before. If there's a girl as cute as you, I'll definitely remember her. Hmm, not bad. Come with me and spend the night with me."

"Huh???" Saitō Fubōfu looked completely bewildered.

What's going on?

"It seems you don't understand our rules, do you? Subordinates must unconditionally obey their superiors' orders. I am the top superior in this area, so my orders are absolute. Moreover, serving your superiors is one of your duties. Come with me!" The officer reached out to grab Saitō Fubōfu wrist.

Saitō Fubōfu, twitched wildly. "I can't hold back anymore, I want to punch him!"

Yamabuki Chidori didn't expect these Quincy to be so sophisticated.

However, considering the Wandenreich a thousand years later, Bambietta seems to have similar habits, or even more excessive ones.
