Shirou's clones number 30 million

The moment Chelsea realized the problem, she involuntarily took a step back, feeling a chill run down her spine at the thought.

That's Najenda, the former Imperial General; the people behind her all seem to be Imperial Arms users.

How could such a strong combination be controlled? They're probably just tired from the journey and lack energy... right?

Although she kept reassuring herself, the ominous premonition lingered, leaving her in a constant state of fear and anxiety.

"General Najendan must be tired from your journey. We have all witnessed your work in the capital. Thank you for your hard work."

Finding she didn't respond, the man frowned slightly, lowered his head, and said with a smile:

"General Najendan rushed back from the capital; she must have brought us some good news, right?"

"Summon all forces immediately; it's time to march on the capital," Najenda replied without hesitation.

"Is General Najendan serious? The capital is heavily guarded... wait... have you brought some news that guarantees victory?"

“That’s right, the news I’ve brought is enough for us to take over the capital, but I must say it in front of all the soldiers.”

"Oh...? What kind of news could be so valuable? Could it be that the young emperor has suddenly passed away? Or is it that the strongest on earth is leading a rebellion? Hmm... Could it be that General Najenda has successfully persuaded that strongest on earth?"

"I must deliver this message in front of all the soldiers to make it have the greatest impact."

“Oh... General Najendan is definitely not one to make empty promises. I will go and gather the army immediately.”

Just as the man was about to leave, Chelsea quickly moved closer to him and reminded him:

"Chief, General Najendan doesn't seem right."

"Don't worry, General Najendan and the others must be exhausted from their journey, which is why they are not in good spirits."

In fact, the man also noticed that something was wrong with Najendan, but he thought it was a very good opportunity that he couldn't miss.

Moreover, it would be more advantageous to mobilize the army.

Even if General Najendan betrays her, as long as she gathers all her troops, she will be powerless against her.

After all, no matter how powerful a Teigu user is, they can't possibly be a match for an army of hundreds of thousands.

Of course, in such an emergency, it would be impossible to muster hundreds of thousands of troops; at most, one or two thousand could be assembled.

However, it's more than enough to deal with Najenda and the other Imperial Arms users.

Instead, if they do nothing and just stay here, they'll be doomed if Najenda suddenly makes a move.

It was afternoon, on a wasteland outside the town.

The army of 20,000 men stood in neat rows, fully equipped with wallets, uniforms, and weapons, looking ready to go to war.

These 20,000 men were the elite troops hastily assembled by the revolutionary army, and they were also the core force of the revolutionary army.

Outside the army compound, there were many townspeople who had come to watch the spectacle.

It's almost fair to say that everyone in the town has arrived.

On the high platform, the revolutionary leader looked around at his subordinates and then his gaze fell on Najendan.

"General Najendan, please—"

“What I’m about to say is very important and could secure the Revolutionary Army’s victory. Is everyone here?” Najendan asked again.

“No problem. Apart from those who are active outside, I have gathered the core forces of the Revolutionary Army who are staying at headquarters. Please begin, General Najendan.”

"it is good."

Najenda turned to look at Mine and nodded in acknowledgment:

"start."

"Yes!"

Mine raised the pumpkin cannon, aimed it at the sky, took a deep breath, and fired with all her might.

Instantly, the laser shot straight into the sky!

'What's going on here? Some kind of ritual?'

Everyone who saw this was completely bewildered, not understanding what Najendan was doing.

Lost in thought, the sky suddenly darkened.

Looking up, hundreds of flying-type dangerous species were hovering in the sky.

On the back of each dangerous species stood more than a dozen Imperial soldiers.

On the back of the dangerous creature at the very front stood a young man and woman with blue hair.

The moment they saw the two, a chilling sense of unease rose in everyone present.

The Empire is the Strongest!

"Najendan! You betrayed us?"

"Traitor! You shameless bastard, I knew you traitors from the Imperial Army were unreliable."

"You bastard Najenda! You despicable wretch who deserves to go to hell."

Amidst the jeers and insults, Najendan remained silent, expressionless, her eyes lifeless, like a broken doll.

The dangerous species descended from the sky, and Imperial soldiers stepped down to the ground, lining up neatly in front of it.

Shirou led Esdeath forward slowly, glanced at Najenda on the high platform, and laughed loudly:

"General Najendan! Congratulations on your great achievement. The Empire will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"Next, together with the Night Raid team, arrest everyone around you!"

"Any resistance will be met with death!"

"Yes," Najenda replied expressionlessly.

Chapter 81 Kill them!!

Chapter 81, Section 82: Kill them!

"You bastard! Najenda!! Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go."

"Najendan! You wait, those of us in the revolutionary army who are out there will definitely avenge us."

"You scoundrel!! Najenda, I have never seen such a shameless person as you, how could you do such a despicable thing? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Amidst countless insults, Najendan and the other members of the Night Raid remained unmoved and showed no mercy in their attacks.

On the high platform, some of the revolutionary army members had their arms cut off and lay on the ground groaning; others had already lost their heads and died with their eyes wide open, still staring intently at Najendan and the night raid squad even after they had stopped breathing.

The 20,000 soldiers on the wasteland were frozen into ice sculptures by Shirou, with only their heads sticking out.

Some people begged for mercy, claiming they were forced; others cursed wildly, spewing all sorts of profanities; and still others couldn't withstand the low temperatures and froze to death on the spot.

The townspeople who were watching knelt down and begged, saying that they were just there to watch the excitement and had nothing to do with the revolutionary army.

Among the townspeople, Chelsea, transformed into a black kitten, watched all this in terror, backing away as she tried to escape.

'That bastard Najenda! She betrayed us!'

'I used to admire her, but I never imagined she was such a scumbag.'

'The revolutionary army is finished; is there any hope for the empire now?'

At this moment, Chelsea had completely forgotten the possibility that Najenda had been hypnotized, and simply assumed that her listless expression was due to guilt.

'Now it's all up to me! The fact that the strongest person on earth had Najenda and the others capture everyone instead of killing them outright means he intends to take them all to the capital.'

'There are only a little over a hundred dangerous species, which is far from enough, so they will definitely return to the capital by land.'

'The road to the capital is so long; even the strongest empire can't possibly concentrate the entire way. If we can catch him resting, we might be able to rescue everyone.'

While she was deep in thought, she discovered that all the revolutionary soldiers on the high platform had been arrested.

Of course, many people have already turned into corpses.

"Calm down, calm down... We need a long-term plan to save them. I can't win a direct confrontation."

far away.

Shirou lightly leaped onto the high platform, activated his Sharingan, and exchanged a glance with all the captured Revolutionary Army soldiers before retreating to Najenda's side.

Immediately afterwards, the revolutionary leader suddenly knelt down, and said with a pained expression:

"I'm sorry, everyone! I'm guilty. I dragged you all into this because of my own selfishness. It's all my fault."

"Initially, I was a small merchant. Unable to bear the exploitation by the nobles, I took the opportunity to form a rebel army. I never expected that more and more people would join later."

...

...

"After the revolutionary army grew stronger, I brought ruin upon the nobleman who had once exploited me, and took his daughter and wife into my household..."

After him, another person knelt down and recounted his mistakes and how he had used the revolutionary army for his own benefit.

"...The day before yesterday, I took a fancy to a girl and ordered someone to secretly tie her up, but I didn't expect her to be so strong-willed that she chose to commit suicide afterwards. So I threw her into the river to cover my tracks."

Shirou glanced at the crowd without showing any emotion, and seeing that they were already in a frenzy, he secretly chuckled.

No one is perfect, especially in a country with imperfect laws. Who hasn't done something wrong?

Those who suddenly gain power and can still restrain their desires, just like before, are always a minority.

In that case, the revolutionary army was truly finished.

As the revolutionary soldiers knelt down and confessed one by one, the onlookers gradually became agitated.

"That bastard! He always seemed like a good person, but he actually did something so disgusting."

"Liar! You said you wanted everyone to live a good life, but it turns out you were just after your own selfish desires."

"So it was you, you bastard, who killed my daughter! I thought she really fell into the water by accident! You bastard!! Give me back my daughter's life!"

"Kill them! Kill these hypocritical bastards!"

Countless voices converged, eventually forming a torrent:

"Kill them!"

Amidst the continuous roars, even the 20,000 soldiers joined in the shouting:
