There were only three people on Akahime's side, while there were ten people on Shenhe's side.
Accelerator brazenly inserted his bare palm into the sword light composed of two sure-kill imperial tools. Akahime slashed down without any hesitation, but at the moment of contact, the force was lost, not to mention the wound, not even a white mark appeared.
She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and just as she was about to pull back the imperial tools, she felt a huge force coming. The thin boy actually grabbed her "One-hit-kill·Murasame" and pulled it in the opposite direction.
What kind of imperial tool is this?
Akahime's mind only had time to flash this thought, and her body was directly thrown to the ground by Ryougi Shiki with a beautiful shoulder throw, and the long sword was inserted into the ground close to her neck.
Her snow-white skin was covered with goose bumps because of the breath of death.
This knife... The feeling brought by her imperial tools is the same.
At the same time, the other two were also dealt with.
Leona, who possessed great strength, was held by Hubie and Jeanne, each holding one arm. Lubbock, who was set by the silk thread trap of his subordinates, was also chopped by the two electric shockers.
The whole battle started in less than ten seconds.
Even the pursuers had not arrived yet.
Shen He looked at the fire that was getting closer and closer in the woods in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to alert the enemy for the time being.
"We will retreat with the prisoners. Jeanne, you and Hubie, one on the ground and one in the air, to scout the situation of the pursuers."
"Okay."
Without any extra words, everyone took action immediately.
Jeanne could transform into a spirit, and Hubie could scout silently in the sky.
The others took the three captured prisoners and evacuated quickly from another direction. With their foot strength, they left the pursuers far behind in just a short while.
The expressions of Chi Tong and the others were very calm throughout the whole process. As killers, being caught would be nothing more than torture and then being killed. They had already realized this.
"Master, I've been discovered."
At this time, Jeanne's voice suddenly came into Shen He's mind.
"What's going on?" Shen He stopped immediately.
The others also stopped one after another, gathered around Shen He in a circle, and Tony even turned the radar scanning power of the armor to the maximum.
"There are also Heroic Spirits among the enemies." Jeanne's voice was somewhat self-blaming, "There are two, they are both Saber class, and they have discovered me."
"Heroic Spirit..."
Shen He muttered subconsciously, and was a little absent-minded for a moment.
If there is a Holy Grail in this world, there is a possibility that Heroic Spirits will appear.
And since there are Heroic Spirits, it is natural that Jeanne's spiritual body will be discovered. After all, the only class that can conceal the breath is the Assassin.
"Tell me about the general appearance." Shen He quickly came back to his senses.
"I can't tell." Jeanne glanced behind her. "They are all hidden in the deep shadows, and their auras are a bit mixed, but they are much stronger than the shadow servants I have seen in the previous world - they are close to the level of orthodox Heroic Spirits."
"Is that so... try to see if the other party has his own consciousness." Shen He said.
If it is just the remnants of the power of the shadow servant, it is only a part of the power of the original owner, and there is no possibility of communication at all.
And if the other party is conscious, for the existence of the Heroic Spirit with a strong personality, a lot of information can often be seen from just a few words.
Jeanne on the other side of the communication was silent for a while, and then a voice came.
"They didn't reply."
"Then lead them away and respond to the call." Shen He said, and started moving again.
There are two possibilities for not replying. One is that they are not conscious and only have fighting instincts, and the other is that they are deliberately hiding their abilities. If it is the latter, then the problem is a little more serious than imagined.
The short conversation in his mind was not told to the others, and the others did not ask, but continued to follow him.
Until Tony suddenly stopped.
"River." Tony swallowed his saliva, "We may be surrounded."
Jarvis has already issued a sharp alarm to him, because on the radar detection interface, a large number of huge heat sources are approaching them.
This is a group of giant arthropods that are six or seven meters tall and have a hideous appearance.
Dangerous species.
Shen He almost forgot that the wilds of this world are not safe at all.
And at this moment, the figures of Jeanne d'Arc and Hubie appeared beside him.
"What are these?"
Jeanne d'Arc exclaimed.
Even the Saint Lady does not like this kind of animal with a twisted body and many legs.
"Have they been led away?" Shen He asked.
"Well, they chased us in the opposite direction for 30 kilometers, and they should not be able to find us." Jeanne d'Arc nodded.
"Then get rid of these dangerous species, and we will find a place to stop for the time being."
Shen He subconsciously wanted to take out the imperial weapon evil ghost, and then suddenly reacted, glanced at Chi Tong and others, and put the imperial weapon away again.
There were only three people on the other side. If they took out the imperial equipment that originally belonged to Brand at this time, the only possibility was that they killed Brand and robbed the imperial equipment. As for the system replica, it was impossible to explain clearly.
About forty or fifty huge monsters were cleaned up in less than five minutes.
The dangerous species in this world seem to be big guys, but except for a few, their strength is not very strong.
After avoiding the fishy smell for a while, everyone found a stream.
Tony took off his armor.
"This is definitely the most disgusting battle I have ever experienced." Looking at the green sticky blood on the armor, Tony looked disgusted, "Jarvis, go to the stream to wash yourself."
"Sir, I can't recognize the language you speak." Jarvis flashed a light.
Tony then realized that he had once again spoken the language of this alien world that the system had instilled in him.
So he could only say it again in English.
Although this method of indoctrination is very convenient, it will make people very uncomfortable.
The three people, Akagi, were tied together, and they had no expression on their faces until they saw Tony's armor close by itself and fly into the stream. Only then did they reveal a little surprise.
The battle with those dangerous species just now was also unheard of. The weapons, abilities, and fighting methods possessed by these people were unheard of.
"Now, you are our captives." Shen He walked in front of the three people and scanned their faces. "I hope you can recognize this fact. This is the premise of our next conversation. Do you understand?"
Although he knew everyone in front of him, and even felt sad for a while because of the death of Leona and Lubbock in the plot.
But he also did not forget the identities of these people.
Killers.
In this dark world, if you show closeness right away and offer to help, ninety-nine out of a hundred have bad intentions.
The remaining one is a fledgling fool, just like the original protagonist.
So Shen He had to suppress his love for the characters in the plot. He couldn't gain favorability by looking like a pig.
"I understand."
As the captain of the team, Chi Tong looked up at Shen He expressionlessly.
"But we won't say anything."
"I see." Shen He raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on Leona's forehead. His eyes approached the scarlet eyes staring at Chi Tong, but his voice was very gentle, "Even if it costs your companion's life, you won't say anything?"
"...No." The same reply.
"You are shaken." Shen He smiled.
He flipped his palm and a very ordinary fishing net appeared in an instant, and then he put it on Leona's body, saying:
"Do you know that there is a torture called lingchi in the world, which uses a fishing net to wrap a person and tighten it, so that you can use a knife to cut off pieces from the skin one by one. If you are skilled, you can cut more than a thousand times without dying. Before that, you always have the opportunity to save your companions."
Chi Tong's scarlet eyes suddenly became sharp.
She stared at Shen He with murderous eyes, as if she wanted to engrave him in her heart.
"Tsk, use whatever means you have." Leona looked nonchalant.
However, this sentence made Akame shake more and more violently. She felt panic and helplessness for a moment, and even found it difficult for her to keep a cold expression.
Every death of a companion made her heart break.
"He, are you crazy?" Tony grabbed Shen He and seemed to be unbelievable, "When did you torture and kill prisoners?"
"......" Shen He glared at him unhappily, "Don't you know that there is a kind of interrogation called intimidation."
"Uh."
Tony was dumbfounded.
Looking at Leona who was already wrapped in the fishing net, and then looking at the other servants who had no reaction, he finally realized that he had done something wrong.
"The Master is really full of evil taste sometimes." Jeanne seemed to be stroking her forehead in distress.
"He is just like this." Ryougi Shiki held a knife and joined the ranks of denunciation, "I like to see cute girls at a loss."
"Yes, yes." Misaka Mikoto also nodded, "Always likes to use the Guatai doll to seduce me."
For a moment, Shen He seemed to be the target of public criticism.
This made him a little embarrassed to take out the camera to take a picture of Leona in the fishing net.
And Akahime blinked.
It seemed that she didn't understand what was happening in front of her.
But she saw a familiar taste among these people, that is, the taste of "comrades".
They are also a close group like "Night Raid".
"Gugu."
At this time, a strange sound interrupted the girls' denunciation.
All eyes were focused on Akahime.
There was another thunderous gugu sound.
Although Akahime was still expressionless, Leona next to her felt a little distressed.
"Akahime, you haven't eaten dinner yet... Hey, you can kill or cut me up, if you don't want to kill me, bring some food."
She also roughly saw that the torture this person just mentioned was probably just to intimidate them.
"I, I have a few chocolates here."
Misaka Mikoto took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket.
It's normal for girls to hide some snacks.
But Shen He stopped her.
"This little bit is not enough for her to fill her teeth."
Shen He took out a large plate of barbecued beef from his backpack and shook it in front of Akahiko.
Akahiko, who was already extremely hungry, couldn't take her eyes away.
Not to mention her, a foodie, even Leona and Lubbock couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"I won't waste any more time." Shen He said in a deep voice, "I have roughly guessed your identities. The entire team of imperial artifact users being hunted by the army near the imperial capital can only attack at night. Since we all have the same goal, just cooperate and we won't make things difficult for you."
The same goal... There was still vigilance in Akahima's eyes, but she was still unwilling to give up her companion's life easily, so she asked slowly:
"What do you want to know?"
"The people who are hunting you." Shen He had already got the picture from Shubi, "They are not imperial artifact users, the two people shrouded in black fog."
"...No." Akahima bit her lip slightly, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, "They are very strong, and my imperial artifact is ineffective against them."
"One-shot kill·Murasame?" Shen He frowned slightly, "In other words, you don't know where those two people came from?"
"They suddenly appeared tonight." Chi Tong shook her head.
"What about the rest of your companions?" Shen He asked again. He had seen something in Chi Tong's eyes.
"After our hidden address was surrounded, we fled in two groups." This time it was Leona who answered, "Another companion was the last one to leave, and he may have..."
"He was captured." Chi Tong interrupted Leona, his voice lowered, "I saw Brand's limbs cut off, but the enemy had no intention of killing him."
"Is that so..." Shen He suddenly reached out to take the long sword of Ryougi Shiki.
Before the three of them could react, the sword light swept across, but it directly cut the chains that bound them.
"You all have good fighting power." Shen He stared at them, "If you want to leave, the imperial weapon will stay here, and you can leave now. If you want to fight, follow us. We are going to go to the imperial capital to investigate the situation. If we are sure that you can be trusted, we will return the imperial weapon during the battle."
Although this is an option, Shen He knows very well what they will do.
Without the imperial weapon, the killer can only live in disgrace.
"I'll stay." Akado said without hesitation.
"Of course I'm accompanying my best friend." Leona pulled the fishing net off her body.
"I..."
Just as Lubbock was about to speak, Akado interrupted him.
"Lubbock, go back, don't forget our mission."
"Mission?" Shen He thought about it for a while and understood, "You want to inform the Revolutionary Army, forgive me for being blunt, the Night Raid is already the most powerful force of the Revolutionary Army. If the Empire "" can easily defeat you, then they can do nothing but wait to die."
"As long as they can run..." Akado was silent for a while, "That's enough."
"..."
Shen He sighed in his heart.
I didn't understand it when I watched the animation before. Akado sacrificed so many companions and even killed his own sister in order to help the Revolutionary Army overthrow the Empire, but in the end he was hunted down by the new country.
Now he suddenly understood that in Akado's heart, the Revolutionary Army represented the "objects of protection", the people who made up the new country. Only when they control the country can they be considered to have changed the world.
"Let's eat something first." Shen He handed over the barbecue in his hand, "We brought a lot of meat, we can eat while walking."
The large amount of barbecue and delicacies in the backpack can be said to be specially prepared for Chi Tong. Shen He knew that he would be able to use it.
