Chapter 228: This battle will end before the rain falls

Fang Yi collected his thoughts and looked at the [Minister] in front of him. He was ready to get some words out of him.

If nothing unexpected happens, since you have already gained the other party's trust, you can try to complete some intelligence collection work for the [Death in the Mist] encirclement and suppression campaign before the battle.

For example, how many [Imperial Equipment Users] will the other side send out in this battle? In addition to Zhu Tian and Goziqi, are there any warriors who have mastered the "momentum"?

He wanted to maximize the advantage of his status as a member of the [Minister Camp], add another weight to the battle, and completely tilt the balance of victory towards his side.

During his conversation with the [Minister], he captured some interesting information.

[Dr. Fashion] sent out the cyborg army created by the opponent's [Imperial Equipment], with extremely sensitive hearing "ears" and extraordinary sense of smell "nose" to assist in this roundup.

The [Imperial Gear] [God's Hand: Perfector] in the hands of this mad scientist-type [Imperial Gear] can increase the user's hand operation accuracy countless times, completing many incredible transformation surgeries and developing various drugs with quite miraculous effects.

The creation of reconnaissance-specialized cyborgs with 'ears' and 'noses' was one of his scientific research achievements.

The [Imperial Weapon] in the other party's hand was also the equipment that Fang Yi had reserved for his follower, Shinobu Kocho.

Considering his status as precious as a panda in the other side's [Minister Camp], it is highly likely that the other side will not go to the front line in this encirclement and suppression campaign.

Therefore, Fang Yi does not need to consider how to deal with the huge and dangerous opponent who is dozens of stories tall after transformation. He only needs to consider how to use the two modified humans "Nose" and "Ears" under the opponent's command who are specialized in reconnaissance.

His extraordinary hearing and sense of smell would make the thick fog he created lose its ability to conceal his whereabouts.

But he can also use this to his advantage, dividing the enemy and defeating them one by one.

He calmly switched identities and killed the "pig" Arya while letting Chelsea use the [Teigu] to impersonate herself and get injured.

Let [Imperial Youth Fang Yi] and [Death in the Mist] appear at the same time to separate the two.
-
Fang Yi drank the water in the teacup and asked the Minister in a somewhat anxious tone.

"[Dr. Fashion], I've heard you mention this name before, and Silla also mentioned him this morning.

“He is said to be our camp’s chief scientist, skilled in drug development and human body modification. I’m sure he can develop an antidote for the poison I took.

"But wouldn't it be too dangerous for him to join the mission to encircle and suppress the Shinsengumi and the Death God in the Mist?"

Fang Yi pretended to be still frightened and said to the [Minister].

"I also fought against members of the Shinsengumi in thick fog, and the battle was quite thrilling.

"I'm deeply concerned about Dr. Fashion dedicating such a valuable talent to such a dangerous mission. I'm also concerned about my 'antidote'."

The [Minister] smiled at first when he heard Fang Yi's speech, but laughed again after hearing Fang Yi's words "He was also worried about my 'antidote'."

“You are quite honest, openly stating that you are worried about your own antidote.

“I admire that about you.

"Don't worry, Dr. Fashion will leave the front lines after teaching Gozizi how to use those two cyborgs with exceptional reconnaissance abilities.

"This time, we have Zhu Tian and Goziqi, two warriors who have mastered 'momentum', three [Imperial Equipment Users], and one warrior who is both an [Imperial Equipment User] and has mastered 'momentum'. This means we are absolutely safe."

[Minister] stood up, took the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Fang Yi, and spoke slowly.

"Zhu Tian's 'momentum' has reached the level of [familiarity], and his body is quite strong. As long as the level of 'momentum' cannot keep up with his, it is only a matter of time before even the most numerous enemies are reduced to corpses.

"The 'power' wielded by Gozizi and that Imperial Weapon User named Daidas can be considered a glimpse into the realm of power.

"Although the former was injured, he can still crush those who haven't mastered 'momentum'. Although the latter's [Imperial Gear] is not strong, with the blessing of 'momentum', his combat power is not low."

"It seems that your understanding of 'potential' is not deep enough. Then I will teach you some knowledge related to 'potential' through demonstration."

As he spoke, the [Minister] pulled out a pistol inlaid with several gems and pointed it at Fang Yi.

At the same time, he gestured to the other person to hold an apple in the palm of his hand, open his arms, and began this wonderful teaching.
-
"Expand your momentum. After I fire, carefully observe the changes to this bullet."

After seeing Fang Yi nod to indicate that he was ready and release his "momentum", the [Minister] slowly pulled the trigger.

After the [Minister] failed to release his "momentum" to confront Fang Yi, the [Minister]'s fingers moved extremely slowly.

But as the trigger was pulled, a slight gunshot was heard, and the bullet was unaffected and shot out of the barrel at high speed, heading straight for the apple held in Fang Yi's outstretched arm.

After the bullet shattered the good-looking fruit, Fang Yi suddenly realized the other party's subtext to the Minister.

"A warrior's 'momentum' can only affect the enemy at this stage, amplifying their own martial arts and preventing their opponent from exerting their full strength. However, it cannot significantly affect the movement of other objects.

"Therefore, once the [Imperial Weapon User] successfully unleashes a threatening attack, the opponent must dodge.

"Deploy several [Imperial Weapon Users] with long-range attack capabilities, deploy several soldiers armed with firearms to set traps, and use cyborgs to locate the enemy's position in the fog.

"Exploit the information gap between the enemy and us, as they don't know we can pinpoint their position. We'll catch them by surprise. Even if [Death in the Mist] doesn't die, he'll suffer a heavy loss!"

The [Minister] put down his pistol, smiled slightly, and said approvingly.

"Yes, I was right about you. You are both powerful and intelligent, and there is no one else like you in the entire empire.

“That’s Gozizi’s general plan.

"Those three [Imperial Tool Users] possess the ability to fly and attack from the air, the ability to attack from long range with sonic waves, and the ability to control emotions to assist allies and amplify their own.

"The fog surrounding the [Mist Death God], which has repeatedly obscured his movements, will have little effect on our [Teigu User] with the help of the Cyborgs. Instead, it will become a curtain that will destroy him."

As soon as the [Minister] made this confident statement that revealed intelligence about the battle, the information in Fang Yi's mind that only he knew emerged, and he instantly analyzed the identities of the three [Imperial Equipment Users].

[They should be [Lan] from the original Hunter Organization, [Cosmia] from the [Wild Hounds], and [Neo] from the original [Three Beast Warriors].]

Fang Yi, who had collected the intelligence, gradually calmed down and took advantage of the situation to play the role of a supporting actor and began to flatter the [Minister].

"These [Imperial Weapon Users] are very skilled against the dangerous flying creature of the [Mist Death God]. Once the opponent appears, there is no escape.

"And Dr. Fashion's 'ears' and 'nose' can easily track down enemies on the ground.

"With such a huge advantage, there's naturally nothing to worry about."

Seeing Fang Yi's expression gradually calm down and start to open the champagne, the [Minister] smiled in his heart.

[As expected, as long as I control Fang Yi's 'antidote', I can control him. It's safe to use on someone like him.]

But the [Minister] immediately promised Fang Yi to develop an 'antidote'.

“I will send some spies to your residence to protect you.

“As soon as they hear that Dr. Fashion is free, they’ll notify you to come meet him.

"Are you relieved now?"

Fang Yi instantly acted as if he was relieved, indicating that he had let go of a heavy burden, and began to chat with the [Minister].

After obtaining intelligence about the enemy from the [Minister], Fang Yi drank a few more cups of tea and then made an excuse to leave.

He had to go back to discuss the next battle with his teammates and experiment with some abilities.

He wanted to see if he could use the skill of "momentum" to temporarily "borrow" it from others using [Diligent Learning].

He had a hunch that the powerful derivative skill of 'momentum' might not be as convenient as the judgment ability and sword skills he 'lent' to Rengoku Chijuro in the previous world.
-
On the fourth day of entering the mission world, in the afternoon, at a training ground.

Gozizi looked at the different expressions of the [Imperial Tool User] in front of him, as well as the two cyborgs whose ears and noses had been adjusted by [Dr. Fashion].

Although my body is still here, my thoughts have drifted to how to recommend a talented person to the [Minister] after the war.

The intelligence he had showed that Natasha was seeking treatment for Brand at the headquarters in the south of the empire, and was also trying to obtain drugs to restore mental strength in an attempt to speed up Main's recovery.

This piece of information also indirectly verified what the man named [Yuan Qi] said to himself, that "Brand Hualong was defeated with one punch, and the sniper was knocked unconscious."

Although it is a bit unbelievable, the opponent's record should be true.

The enemy has already made the snipers Maine and Brand from the [Night Raid] organization, who have not yet appeared, lose their combat effectiveness.

As long as Brand and Main are still in bed, the other party's strength will be easy to verify.

If these two were alive and well, then people like Yuan Qi would be swindlers.

Gozizi felt that after this battle, he should be able to try to contact Yuan Qi, who had been keeping a low profile, and bring this strong man into the [Minister Camp].

Of course, in order to ensure that he could take all the credit, Goziqi had kept Yuan Qi's information secret in a place known only to himself, to prevent others from taking the credit.

Now he is the only one who knows Yuan Qi's true strength.

*
Gozizi picked up a piece of paper and began to analyze the possible combat power of the enemy in this battle.

With Brand and Marin incapacitated, the remaining "cards" in the opponent's hand were only the three [Imperial Weapon Users] Hill, Akame, and Lubbock.

At most, we can count the [Death God in the Mist] whose true appearance has not yet been revealed and a man whose identity is questionable.

Hill and Akame's [Imperial Tool] abilities have been revealed before. One is a pair of heavy and sharp scissors, and the other is the [Murasame] that he is very familiar with.

He had already analyzed the combat capabilities of Chi Tong and the [Death God in the Mist] from the horse head's corpse. Neither of them had mastered the "momentum" to the level of [initial glimpse of the technique], otherwise the fight would not have been so difficult.

In addition, after the life-and-death battle with Akame a few days ago, he managed to survive and gained control of the "momentum".

Having understood the power of "momentum", Gozizi is not afraid of Chitong. Now, as long as he sees Chitong, he has full confidence in killing the other party.

He also has to kill Akame.

He had a vague premonition that there would be a life-and-death battle between him and Akagi.

*
Hill, who has even worse physical fitness, can be killed by anyone who masters the "momentum". [Daidas] can quickly deal with her.

As for Lubbock's [Imperial Gear] ability, according to Fang Yi, it is the ability to manipulate water vapor to protect teammates, which is related to [creating and manipulating fog].

He had already asked Dr. Fashion for the two modified humans, 'Ears' and 'Nose', so the mist created by the other party would hardly become an obstacle to his side.

As for the [Death God in the Mist], after analyzing his opponent's combat power, Goziqi also paired Zhu Tian with three [Imperial Weapon Users]. He was confident that his friend would definitely defeat the opponent, and even if he couldn't, he would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

At the same time, the gentle and elegant, golden-haired [Imperial Weapon User] Ran beside him can accurately lock onto the enemy with his [Thousand Miles Flying Mostima] at high altitude.

He also combined some of the [Ministers'] equipment with alchemy-made firearms for his private soldiers, and devised a set of 'superior firepower' tactics for these three [Imperial Equipment Users].

It can be said that today, once the [Death in the Mist] appears, there will be absolutely no escape.

Goziqi looked at the training ground and began to give orders.

“Now, we will conduct another simulated battle of [Death in the Mist], rehearsing the decisive battle.

"Niu, Daidas, and Kosmia, step out. I will fight Master Zhu Tian together with you.

"Before the final battle, we need to practice again how to use our respective Imperial Guards in a coordinated manner."

As Goziqi issued the order, several [Imperial Equipment Users] stepped out and looked at Zhu Tian, ​​who was smiling and had a warm face in front of them, with a hint of awe in their eyes.

In the last fight, the three of them, along with Gozizi, were all knocked down before they could last half a minute at Zhu Tian's hands.
-
Goziqi stretched his muscles and added to his friend.

"Don't go all out this time, hold back a bit.

"The mission will be carried out in less than two hours, don't hurt them.

"I'm going to have Niu and Lan practice tactics with the soldiers later."

Zhu Tian stroked his beard, stretched his body, and spoke calmly.

"These [Imperial Tool Users] are too weak, and the enemy won't hold back during battle.

“You guys go first.

"Otherwise the battle will be over too quickly."

As soon as Zhu Tian finished speaking, the "momentum" of Daidas, a muscular man beside him, instantly appeared and launched an attack on Zhu Tian.

He was already quite muscular, and his figure looked even more terrifying when his arm muscles were exerted.

He flexed his arm muscles, roared, and threw the [Imperial Weapons] [Two Great Axes - Belwak] in his hands with all his strength.

The axe-shaped [Imperial Weapon] of average performance in the [Minister's] mouth split into two on the way to Zhu Tian, ​​turning into two streams of light, appearing to be sandwiched on both sides and attacking Zhu Tian.

This [Imperial Weapon] will continue to track the enemy once thrown, as long as the power is not exhausted.

Cosmia, who was dressed as a bunny girl with revealing clothes that half exposed her breasts, saw her companions taking action and was not willing to be outdone.

This 'witch' who delights in toying with and killing men raised her microphone-shaped [Imperial Gear] [Earthquake: Heavy Pressure] and began assisting the attack.

She uttered only simple syllables from her throat, and then produced extremely destructive ultrasonic waves in front of her.

As soon as this ultrasonic wave appeared, the bricks and stones on the ground cracked, and then it brought a terrifying evil wind towards Zhu Tian's side.

Looking at Niu and Gozizi who had not taken any action yet, Zhu Tian crossed his arms and remained calm in the face of three terrifying attacks.

It was not until the split-into-two [Belwak] was approaching him that this Rakshasa Four Ghosts launched their attack.

The "momentum" of both real and virtual on his body instantly appeared, and his aura instantly reached its highest point.

Facing the Belvak troops that were divided into two groups, Zhu Tian simply spread out his hands and used his bare palms to confront the iron axe without knowing his own limitations.

The two fleshy palms collided with the high-speed flying axe, making a dull thud. Then, this axe-shaped [Imperial Weapon] crashed like an airplane that lost power in the air and suddenly fell.

Then he put his hands together and formed fists, and two [Fist King Temple Hundred Rift Fists] with astonishing power and strong energy were used.

Under the amplification of the real and virtual "momentum" in his body, his fists swung out and brought about an astonishing shock force.

The strong energy mixed with the air in front of him turned into a terrifying sound wave, crashing into the ultrasonic wave emitted by Cosmia.

After several terrifying metallic collision sounds and the bricks and stones on the ground where the two sound waves collided being turned into powder, no sound waves remained in the field.

*
Although they had already experienced Zhu Tian's strength, seeing this scene, Daidas and Cosmia lost all their fighting spirit, broke out in cold sweat, and just wanted to retreat behind their teammates.

Seeing this, Niu tremblingly blew the flute-shaped [Imperial Instrument] [Military Music Dream·Scream] in her hand, choosing a piece of music to encourage her teammates.

Allow the two men, whose spirits had been swallowed by the other party's "momentum", to recover a little and then regroup.

Then he played another irritating piece of music, attacking Zhu Tian, ​​trying to weaken him.

Before Zhu Tian could even catch his breath after throwing two punches, Goziqi had already used the cover of three people to force his way to his friend.

Two sinister and vicious sword auras were released from the tip of the knife, and then the silver-white blade pierced into the friend's chest like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

The corners of Gozizi's mouth moved slightly, trying to use words to interfere with his friend's judgment.

“No matter how strong your body is, it can’t strengthen your heart.

"If this [Ministerial Tool] is thrust into your heart, you will surely die!"

Zhu Tian's "momentum" reappeared in an attempt to delay Goziqi's attack, and Goziqi's relatively weak "momentum" also appeared instantly.

Although it only lasted for a few seconds, the "momentum" in Goziqi's body was crushed, and the activity of cells in his body instantly slowed down.

But the blade he stabbed out and his accelerated body had gained enough speed to rush towards Zhu Tian.

Zhu Tian looked at his friend's approaching face, smiled slightly, and changed his fists into palms, and clasped them together simply.

The palm of his hand was filled with internal energy, and with incredible pressure, it clamped the long sword-like [Servant's Tool] in Gozqi's hand, performing the feat of catching the sword with his bare hands, stopping his friend's attack, and taking the opponent's sword energy with his body, then he started to tease.

“No matter how powerful the attack is, it is only effective if it can hit the target.

“Gozizi, you’ve lost.

"Although you have mastered 'momentum', your strength has indeed declined after being injured."

Looking at the flushed face of Gozizi, and Daidas and Cosmia who had lost their fighting spirit again, Zhu Tian was about to say something to comfort them.

Unexpectedly, Ran, who was flying in the air using the angel-wing-shaped [Imperial Tool] [Thousand Miles Flying Mastema], immediately took over the conversation.

With high emotional intelligence, he immediately gave Gozhizi a way out.

“Lord Gozizi, the condemned prisoners are ready and the soldiers are in position.

"Should we start the fog shooting simulation exercise for [Death in the Fog]?

"There's still an hour until the trap is scheduled to be set."

Seeing the blond man in white interrupt the drill, Gozizi immediately took over the conversation.

"Practice now! Niu, 'Ears', 'Nose', Lan, get in position!
"The remaining [Imperial Equipment Users] will rest on their own!"

After saying that, Goziqi naturally took back the [Ministerial Tool] from Zhu Tian's hand, glanced at his friend and left in disappointment.

Only Zhu Tian was left standing in the training ground, touching his head and grinning foolishly.
-
A few minutes later, Gozizi looked at the blindfolded cyborgs 'Ear' and 'Nose', as well as Lan who was also blindfolded in mid-air.

He looked at the soldiers who had arranged their alchemical weapons in the venue and gave the order to begin the drill.

"Release the condemned prisoners and begin the simulated search for enemies in the fog!"

Following Gozizi's command, several entrances to this gymnasium-like training ground opened simultaneously, and several criminals poured in.

The modified human 'ears' and 'nose' each held the clothes of the death row prisoner in one hand and began to use their keen sense of smell to determine the enemy's whereabouts.

One person put his transformed, gigantic ear to the ground and began to determine the location of the death row prisoner based on the sound.

After the two accurately reported the enemy's position, Niu beside them immediately blew the [Imperial Instrument] [Military Music Dream·Scream].

His emotions changed several times in an instant as he quickly transmitted the location of the death row prisoner to Lan in mid-air.

Then, Lan, with his eyes blindfolded in mid-air, fired several bullets emitting red smoke from the starting gun in his hand according to the position instructions.

The soldiers in the field, upon seeing the instructions to fire, immediately activated their alchemical firearms, turning the training ground into a hail of bullets.

Looking at the several criminals who were accurately shot dead in just a few seconds, Gozizi smiled with satisfaction.

“This command system is obviously not afraid of the enemy’s fog.

"In the ensuing battle, the fog will not serve as a barrier to the enemy, but as a curtain to their demise."

He delivered an assassination request to the revolutionary army's base, which required a strong force that could only be accomplished by [Night Raid].

He had already learned from the Revolutionary Army's insider that the "Night Raid" order had been accepted, and now he was just waiting for the enemy to take the bait.

The target of this assassination commission will appear in half an hour, and that will be his time to reap the rewards.

Goziqi looked at the sky, which was so gloomy that visibility was extremely low, and laughed.

The dense dark clouds in the sky seemed to indicate that an unimaginable rainstorm was about to come.

But he was sure of one thing.

This battle will be over before the rain falls.

At this moment, there are still fifty-nine minutes before the heavy rain falls.
-
However, a few minutes later, Lan, who he had arranged to observe the fog with a telescope in the air, brought a piece of news that made Gozqi shudder.

"The fog appeared ahead of time, but it's not near the area where we deployed our soldiers. Instead, it's approaching Lord Fang Yi's residence!"

Gozizi instantly realized that the enemy had bypassed the trap he had carefully laid.
