Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Number 88 simply nodded and said nothing more.

"Aren't you going to stop me? You should know that I'm basically on the opposite side of the Empire."

Emiya Shirou was slightly surprised. He thought that Number 88 would stop him, since breaking into a prison is a serious crime in any country.

"No, we are no match for you, and whether you rescue that person or not will not affect the final outcome."

"why?"

“Esdeath’s current strength cannot be matched by the Revolutionary Army’s numbers. General Bud, who was once on par with Esdeath, has made it clear that he is no match for her.”

Number 88 shook his head. Only by truly facing her could one feel her current strength.

They did not have a high opinion of the Revolutionary Army. Whether it was their disregard for the suffering civilians within the Empire to wage war, or their alliance with foreign tribes to fight against the Empire, they could not develop any goodwill towards the Revolutionary Army.

Moreover, there is no one in the Revolutionary Army who can directly confront Esdeath. In fact, it would be quite difficult to deal with them even with just the few Imperial Arms users from Night Raid.

Oh, and what other Imperial Arms did Night Raid desperately try to obtain from the Empire, but it was all in vain.

Since the Empire appointed them as the guard, Akame, the most troublesome member of the Night Raid, has rarely gone out on missions.

Even when on missions, he basically doesn't take Murasame with him.

Night Raid had truly experienced how terrifying Emiya Shirou's projection magic was, and naturally they were very clear that if they were to analyze the Murasame in Akame's hands...

Then the battle will quickly turn into a one-sided affair.

No one dared to test whether the toxicity of the rain they projected would be fatal.

That's a poison that will kill you the moment you touch it; there's no antidote.

Now, almost half of the soldiers in the army that is going with Esdeath to fight the Revolutionary Army are equipped with the noble chariots that they project.

Although the increase in strength was much less than the original [Noble Chariot], it still raised the combat power of Esdeath's legion by a whole level.

"Thanks!"

Emiya Shirou nodded, waved goodbye to Number 88, and a short sword with a chain appeared in his hand. Almost instantly, he vanished into thin air.

He had inquired about the location of their imperial prison.

Although he had been imprisoned and had also escaped from prison.

However, the place where he was once imprisoned has been reduced to ruins by the explosion, and Shirou Emiya is unsure whether that place is still the location of the prison.

The empire might have built a new prison, who knows?

However, from their words, we know that the empire has indeed built a new prison, but its location is not far from the old prison.

Emiya Shirou quickly found the crater from the explosion where he had previously fought Seryu.

At this moment, he entered the prison with ease, as if he were a wisp of air.

The prison and the fashion doctor's laboratory were located very close to each other, so he could easily take the human body materials he needed from the prison.

However, unlike last time, the fashion expert did not build his laboratory directly inside the prison. Instead, there was a very solid-looking building next to the prison.

At this moment, several Emiya androids and some drowsy guards stood at the entrance of the prison.

The guards couldn't sense the magic, so naturally they couldn't detect Shirou Emiya's presence.

Meanwhile, the androids who could sense Shirou Emiya's presence pretended not to see him and practiced projection magic at the prison gate.

Emiya Shirou moved swiftly through the prison.

They arrived at the deepest part of the prison as quickly as possible, a place where incredibly wicked criminals were imprisoned.

He had received similar treatment before.

Emiya Shirou slowly walked towards the prison cell.

Behind those iron pillars, a crystal-clear statue stood in the cell.

It was an armor completely encased in ice, its head transformed into a dragon's. The armor was so heavily encased that its original shape was almost unrecognizable, and the hands and feet had even turned into claws.

"Possessed by evil spirits?"

Shirou Emiya looked at the being inside the ice sculpture with some confusion. Although it felt very different, Shirou Emiya could clearly feel that this was the prototype of the [Demon Possessed] he was currently wearing.

Chapter 351 Night Raid Prison Break Plan

"Four days have passed, aren't we going to take action now?"

Under the moonlight, several figures appeared on the treetops, far from the prison.

A pink-haired woman, holding a gun-like object as tall as herself, asked the white-haired woman with an eye patch beside her with great anxiety.

The others also looked anxious, staring at the location of the prison, looking for an opportunity to get closer.

Emiya's androids have such excellent eyesight that they can react to almost any slight movement.

Apart from Mine, almost everyone present had to endure the rain of swords from the androids to break through and launch an attack.

Number 88, who fought against Shirou Emiya, did not use his full power.

It's important to know that the Noble Phantasms they can project now are not limited to [Asura Avatar [Noble Chariot]].

The Imperial Arm of General Budo, another "strongest" person in the former Empire: [Thunder God's Wrath [Admirer]].

Among the hunters, Lan's "Mostima: Soaring Across the Land" is a masterpiece.

Leone's [Beast King Transformation [Lion King]] in Night Raid.

Mine's [Romantic Cannon "Pumpkin"].

The Emiya Homunculi, which belonged to the Empire, could naturally see and analyze the weapons.

As for the two who participated in the night raid, Leone always carried her Imperial Arms, so during battles, she was basically analyzed and projected by Emiya's androids as soon as she appeared.

Although Mine attacked from a distance, Emiya's homunculus strength was simply too outstanding, and he analyzed the situation very easily.

When Tatsumi's [Possessed by Evil] was first revealed to them, he was already in armored form, and projecting the armored form directly would consume too much magic power.

The Emiya androids unanimously agreed that using the [Noble Chariot] directly would suffice, and they would only consider projecting the [Demon Possession] short sword in Tatsumi's hands after witnessing its form.

Shirou Emiya was initially unable to project Leone's [Beast King Transformation [Lion King]] not because he couldn't analyze it, but because, with only one magic circuit at the time, the magical energy consumed by projecting non-sword weapons increased several times over.

He simply didn't have enough magic to project it.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to use two or more Imperial Arms at the same time. This is because using even one Imperial Arm already requires a great deal of energy, and using multiple Imperial Arms at the same time would double the physical and mental energy consumed.

In severe cases, it can even lead to physical breakdown or mental instability.

Imperial Arms are designed to choose their own users. Those whose temperament is incompatible with the Imperial Arm cannot unleash its power. If one forces its use, either the Imperial Arm's power will be rendered useless, or it will harm the user. The user's first impression of the Imperial Arm is extremely important.

However, Shirou Emiya's projection broke these limitations. The Imperial Arms he projected had no requirements for the user; basically, any living being could use them.

There is basically no mental pressure; the biggest limitation on users is the requirement for physical fitness.

The bodies of those androids were all modified by Dr. Fashion. With the addition of Leone's [Beast King Transformation [Lion King]] and enhancement magic, their physical abilities have grown to a terrifying level.

Although their projected weapons did not reach the level required for Emiya Shirou's projection magic, they still provided a significant boost to their physical abilities.

With the addition of [Noble Chariot], [Thor's Wrath], and [Flying High], Night Raid would find it difficult to deal with even a single Emiya android.

Akame's Murasame, aside from its poison, is just a relatively sharp samurai sword. It's similar to the full-body armor type like Demon's Embrace, which is a perfect counter to her, preventing her Imperial Arms from being used effectively.

But if they were taken out, they might be analyzed by those androids and projected onto the data.

Their primary means of dealing damage right now is Mine's [Romantic Turret].

This is a gun-shaped Imperial Arm that converts spiritual energy into shockwaves. The Emiya androids possess a mental network, allowing them to replenish and share spiritual energy.

This weapon was used to its fullest potential in their hands.

Unlike Mine, they don't lack melee combat abilities.

Furthermore, due to the mental network, the Emiya androids are able to provide the fastest support in the shortest amount of time.

Last time, when they were surrounded by Emiya's androids, if Najenda hadn't used her Teigu Lightning Bolt [Susanoo] to unleash the power of her soul calamity by sacrificing her life force, they would have had a very difficult time escaping unscathed.

Even now, the androids created by these fashion PhDs have cast a long shadow over Night Raid.

This shadow is even greater than when they fought the hunters.

After all, they were able to defeat the Hunters one by one by splitting them into two groups, but they couldn't do that when facing Emiya's androids.

Even if they did that, it wouldn't have any profound impact on them. They are artificial humans, and Dr. Fashion can keep producing them. Killing a few of them would be completely meaningless.

"Is this the only option?"

Najenda pondered to herself, firstly because Tatsumi was one of Night Raid's important partners, and she couldn't just abandon him like that.

Secondly, in the upcoming plan, Tatsumi is an irreplaceable and crucial element, someone who must be rescued.

Although Najendan didn't think they had much of a chance of winning.

The reason the Empire could confidently send the vast majority of its forces to Esdeath to fight the Revolutionary Army was precisely because of the existence of Emiya's android army.

Their individual strength far surpasses that of a normal Imperial Arms user, and there are hundreds of them, making them exceptionally troublesome.

If only Shirou Emiya were still alive.

Najenda thought to herself, "Apart from Esdeath, almost everyone believes that Shirou Emiya died in that battle with her."

After that, Shirou Emiya disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished into thin air.

"Get ready. Mine, provide remote support. Leone, rescue Tatsumi from the prison as quickly as possible. Lubbock, set up defenses around the area and do your best to prevent the Emiya homunculus from providing reinforcements. Susanoo and Akame, you two hold off the nearby Emiya homunculus."

"Chelsey, the injuries you sustained from forcibly using the Imperial Arm projected by Shirou Emiya to escape Kurome's pursuit haven't healed yet, so you've transformed into an eagle to constantly monitor the surrounding situation!"

Najendan calmly issued the order: there was no good opportunity left. If they continued to drag it out until the war in the distance ended, everything they had done would be in vain.

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly nodded in agreement and began to take action.
