Shirou's clones number 30 million

Page 72

"Kill them! Kill them!!"

Shirou waved his hand, releasing all the soldiers from their icy restraints, and led Najenda and the others down from the platform to the side.

The surging crowd rushed forward and began punching and kicking the revolutionaries.

In just a few seconds, all the revolutionary soldiers on the platform perished.

In the crowd, Chelsea, who looked like a kitten, gritted her teeth, seething with hatred.

She knew from the beginning that the revolutionary army was a mixed bag, but she never expected that they would do so many despicable things, making them almost no different from the scum of the empire.

However, what she hated even more was that many of the revolutionaries, who hadn't done much wrong, were still beaten to death by the angry townspeople.

And all of this is thanks to that so-called strongest on earth.

Now, the revolutionary army is completely wiped out.

All the rescue plans we had come up with were scrapped.

After all, no one was actually arrested.

Looking at the surging crowd of townspeople and former revolutionary soldiers in the distance, Chelsea, who was actually a black cat, lay silently on the ground, her heart filled with confusion, completely unsure of what to do next.

At this moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the townspeople, who had been hot-headed, gradually calmed down, looking indifferently at the revolutionary soldiers lying in pools of blood.

Looking back on every day I spent with those people, a question involuntarily arose in my mind: why did I rush over like a madman just now?

Ultimately, however, it could only be interpreted as: that they had been deceived by the revolutionary army, which led to their anger and humiliation, resulting in such a heavy-handed act.

Where is the town mayor?

"Yes...yes, I am the local town mayor."

Upon hearing Shirou's voice, a man in his fifties quickly walked up to Shirou.

"You're also a revolutionary?"

"No! Absolutely not. I was the first one to rush over there, and my hands are covered in the blood of the revolutionary army."

"Haha...that's true."

Shirou laughed for a while, then looked around at the bewildered townspeople and Revolutionary Army soldiers, thinking to himself:

It went so smoothly, all thanks to Najenda.

Just now, when Shirou used illusion magic to make the Revolutionary Army repent, he also used a group suggestion magic.

That's why those people roared and charged forward, killing all the revolutionary soldiers.

"Mayor, what do you think should be done with those revolutionary soldiers?"

"Sir, they have betrayed the revolutionary army and are no longer soldiers of the revolutionary army. Please arrange how to deal with them."

"Then let them stay here and be responsible for hunting down the remaining revolutionaries."

Shirou shifted his gaze to Riva, Esdeath's adjutant, and said seriously:

"Liwa, these 20,000 men are yours to hunt down the remaining revolutionary forces in the south. You have one year. Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

"You can discuss all the necessary military equipment with the town mayor. I will grant you the corresponding autonomy."

"Yes! I will definitely eliminate the revolutionary army as soon as possible."

Those who personally killed the leaders and pillars of the revolutionary army are no longer part of the revolutionary army.

However, they would not become part of the Imperial Army; they would only be a group of unclaimed, wandering soldiers who lacked an honest and shrewd superior.

And Liva is exactly that kind of person.

Chapter 82 Look! What did I find?

Section 83, Chapter 82: Look! What did I find?

On the way back, Esdeath noticed that Shirou had picked up a black cat from somewhere and was holding it in his arms, stroking it constantly. She couldn't help but ask:

"Adris, where did you pick up this black cat? I've never seen you keep any pets before."

"This black cat is quite something. Don't you think its eyes are very intelligent?"

"Really? I can't tell at all. You want to adopt it?"

"That's right, it will be my pet from now on."

Shirou held the black cat and stroked it for a while, then placed it on his shoulder and said:

"Esdeath, after we return to the capital, come with me to a place."

"Oh...? Aren't you going to report back first?"

"There's no need for that."

Esdeath glanced at Shirou with surprise, thought for a moment, and said:

"You seem to be increasingly ignoring your superiors lately, is that alright?"

"Superior? Where? A minister? Or the young emperor?"

"No matter what, he is still the emperor, and he should still be treated with respect."

"An emperor? He's just a child who hasn't grown up yet. It won't be long before he's no longer an emperor."

In that instant, Esdeath seemed to realize something, and after a few seconds of silence, she slowly spoke:

"Are you plotting a rebellion?"

"This is not a rebellion, but a restoration of order. You should be prepared."

"Let me think about it. Suddenly saying you want to rebel, with your position, it's impossible for you to succeed, right? Unless you kill all the civil and military officials."

"It's not that complicated. What if... I said that I've already got the minister under my control?"

"Like Najenda?"

"Yes."

"I see. I thought you just acted on impulse. It seems you've thought it through carefully."

At that moment, Chelsea, the black cat on Shirou's shoulder, felt an intense sense of fear.

So Najenda and the others were being controlled by this guy! No wonder their expressions and behavior looked so strange.

The revolutionary army, is that all? And it wasn't even a real battle; they were defeated by this guy using such despicable methods.

Damn it! We must avenge everyone.

Chelsea, who was silently swearing an oath, suddenly found herself being held in his arms again, his head being stroked by cat fur.

"Naughty pets can get cooked, you know. I've heard cat meat is sour, but I don't know if that's true or not?"

Chelsea, who resembled a black cat, trembled involuntarily.

This guy even preys on cute kittens, he's such a jerk!

Wait a minute! Could he have already discovered my identity?

No, probably not.

If he had truly discovered his identity, he would have already snapped his own head off.

"When did you develop an interest in scaring small animals?" Esdeath asked speechlessly.

"Haha... Just now."

Amidst laughter, Shirou picked up the kitten again and examined it from all angles.

It really is just like a normal kitten.

……

Upon returning to the capital, Shirou dismissed his soldiers and, along with Esdeath and the Night Raid members, headed straight for the Minister's residence.

Upon seeing the minister-like figure in his clone, Shirou immediately asked:

"How about it?"

"Everything is ready. Also, I have a surprise for you."

The minister held two syringes in his hands, looking Shirou and Esdeath up and down, emanating an eerie aura.

Who wants to go first?

"Edris?" Esdeath paused, her expression slightly complicated.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Shirou smiled and offered a word of comfort, then turned to the minister and asked again:

How confident are you?

"hundred percent!"

"In that case, let's start with me."

Shirou stretched out his arm and let him give him an injection.
