The news coming from the west of the Empire was quite expected, after Esdeath arrived on the western front, the rebel army began to die very quickly, in a month Esdeath will probably crush the rebellion in the west, but in about a month the southern rebel army will be at the gates of the capital.

During this month we should eliminate Syura and take away his spatial Teigu so that he cannot evacuate his father the Prime Minister. It is also desirable to execute the ministers supporting Honest during this time, they can be caught outside the palace. These ministers are guarded by elite guards personally trained by Supreme General Budo, but we should be able to deal with them easily now. Budo will also have to be eliminated, most likely he will go to defend the southern fortress of Shishikan, which will be the last line of defence before the capital itself.

In order to have a better chance at successfully fulfilling our goals and objectives, we trained. The girls were learning to use their artefacts better, while I, on the contrary, took off my armour and began to train my body, swordfighting with my two sisters. I will improve my armour a little more, but it already fulfils its functions, Esdeath can't hurt me in it, and I can fight in it on a par with that ice woman, if I improve my skills, I will be able to surpass that maniac.

- I was a little disappointed when Kurome cut off my arm with her sword, 'Wait a second, ladies, let me grow a limb. - I lifted my arm off the ground while dodging Akame's katana.

- Maybe you should put on some protection, because this isn't the first time we've cut you off. - Akame suggested.

- It's a good motivator to avoid getting hit. And I have to say, I'm mostly getting hit because I'm distracted by your beautiful bodies. - I took a look at Kurome. Her breasts are small, but the garment tightens her bust and lifts her up so that it's impossible to take my eyes off those hills, which is why I'm missing a limb right now.

- Gin, let me and my sister help you, because your big things prevent you from fighting properly, you can feed us. - Kurome, who liked my milk as much as her sister, came over to me.

- Yes, we could use some nourishment. - Akame came over to me, and she and her sister were making milk from my cock, the two girls often taking a snack break during our training sessions.

Sometimes I would train with other girls and have sex with them too, we enjoyed it a lot.

Chelsea and Seriu were our regular scouts in the capital, and they were the ones who had tracked down Sura's whereabouts. He had mostly lived in the palace, but after his failure with the Wild Hunt, he had disappointed his father, and was trying his best to rehabilitate himself. He wanted to find a Night Raid base to attack us when we weren't expecting it. His plan was to use his Teygu to move a bomb to our base and blow us all up. The bomb was created for him by Dorothea, she was an alchemist from the Western Empire, and for Honest, this Dorothea replaced Stileish. The Prime Minister even set up a laboratory for her.

Sura was searching for revolutionaries and interrogating them, and Chelsea and Seria caught the interrogation while Sura was raping a girl who was our spy. Chelsea kidnapped Teiga Shambala while Sura was busy raping the girl. After making sure that the Prime Minister's son would not escape now, Chelsea, along with Seru, fought Syura and won. Even without Teigu, Syura was a very strong fighter, having been trained at the Kouken Temple, and travelling the world, he had perfected his fighting style by adding elements from other fighting styles.

But Chelsea and Seru became incredibly fast and strong while synchronising, plus, the Fox Armour completely protected Chelsea from the blows of Seru's fists.

Naked Syura was beaten, and stripped of his Teigu, soon Chelsea arrived and so did we.

After interrogating Syura, we decided to execute the Prime Minister's son in a showy manner, and we did so in the same manner as the Empire itself. In the main square, opposite the Imperial Palace, we set up a cross on which Syura, who was still alive, was fastened. The cross was a torture device that kept the victim alive and unconscious, and every ten minutes it would cut off a piece of Sura's flesh with a laser, causing him to scream in pain.

The cross itself generated a strong protective field that prevented any interference with the execution process. After three days, the victim was left with only a torso, which was injected with a poison that destroyed the soul, so that the person could not be resurrected. Such was the fate that awaited Syura, next to his cross, I left the marks of Shambala, to which I soon moved several more such crosses, where the captured ministers were fixed.

During the execution they all screamed with pain, and the guards could not release them, the ordinary citizens of the capital liked such a massacre very much, and all the remaining ministers hid behind the walls of the Imperial Palace, afraid to come out of there. Esdeath had also been urgently recalled from the west to the capital so that she too could be in the palace and, along with Supreme General Budo, could protect their lousy hides from the Night Raid's punishment. Esdeath was just about done with the rebels in the west there, and arrived in the capital even earlier than we had anticipated.

The place of execution, where the crosses with the corpses of the ministers hanging on them stood, was in an open square, the guards tried to remove them or cover them up, but the crosses emitted energy waves that destroyed any barriers that were used to cover them up. When the crosses were destroyed by Supreme General Budo himself, the crosses simply disappeared, and reappeared when the Generalissimo left. In general, I played on the nerves of the Imperials.

Having received Shambala in my hands, I examined it, and as a result I extracted from it a blue luminous core, passing through it Ki, I received spatial energy suitable for teleportation. Such spatial energy was accumulated in a separate part of my pocket world. Shambhala originally had limitations on the number of teleportations, I have such a limitation is a stock of spatial energy, but it is enough for several hundred continuous spatial jumps, a distance of hundreds of kilometres. I also put spatial energy reserves into the girls' bracelets, so they can teleport to me over great distances.

When Esdeath returned to the capital, she immediately went to the Imperial Palace, and on the way she saw these crosses. Just yesterday, we had caught another minister who had just decided to escape from the capital, but had failed, and now he was fastened to the cross, screaming in pain as pieces of flesh were cut off. Esdeath watched the execution with a smile, and even lingered in the square, causing the Prime Minister to send his last surviving bodyguard from the Four Demon Rakshasa to her.

- Miss Esdeath, the Prime Minister has been waiting for you. - Esdeath was called out by a dark-skinned blonde woman.

- Oh Mez, long time no see, how are you? I see that while I was away from the capital, you came up with a new entertainment. - Esdeath greeted the girl she had recently escaped from the Night Raid with a smile.

- You know it's the Night Raid's doing, the Prime Minister's son is hanging over there, they were the first to execute him that way. - Mez pointed to Sura's corpse.

- I know, and I even know who made those crosses. And how did the Prime Minister react to the death of his son? - Esdeath asked.

- He let out one tear, and said that he would make a new son, this weakling disappointed him by dying so shamefully. - answered Mez, and took a pill from the white box.

- What, have you started taking stimulants too? - Esdeath asked, pointing to the box of pills.

- Close enough. After the failure of the last mission, the Prime Minister ordered me to be executed and skinned alive, where I have lighter skin now, that's where I was skinned. - When Sura brought the alchemist Dorothea to the capital, they gave me to her for experiments, she healed me and improved me with alchemy, now I have to swallow these pills all the time. If I don't take them every hour, I'll die a mummy, but I'm ten times stronger than my old self.

- How long can you live after this improvement? - Esdeath asked.

- A couple of years, but it's better than I would have been executed. - replied Mez.

- Honestly, Honest is overreacting to you, Mez. Even I was powerless in that situation, the fact that you survived is not a bad result. - Esdeath said, and took out her rapier and tried to break the barrier of the cross, 'Well done.

- I'm glad you like it. I made one for you, too. - I teleported next to Esdeath.

- Oh, Gin, you have become bolder lately, are you really sure of your victory? - Esdeath smiled.

- Definitely, yes. - The Revolutionary Army is a week away from the capital, you only have one southern fortress Shishukan left, if Budo doesn't come to defend it, it will fall tomorrow, if he does... it will fall tomorrow anyway.

- Do you think the Empire has no trump cards left to turn the tide of the battle to their side? - Esdeath asked.

- And you think I don't have any trumps capable of destroying your trumps? I know about the forty-ninth Teigu, I interrogated that armless and legless guy over there, he told me everything, and as you can see, I am still confident of my victory. The strongest will win, and that's not you. - I smiled, before moving into the domain where Schizophrenia had set up a couple of rooms for the captives. One room was for entertainment with the slave girls and the other room was a prison with cells.

- Master, have you come to play with Cosmina? - A purple-haired girl with purple animal ears, always ready to play with her master, asked.

When Cosmina's mother was pregnant, she was attacked by a wolf, her mother was only bitten, but the saliva of the monster wolf affected Cosmina and she was born not quite human. Cosmina was stronger than normal children, her wounds healed very quickly, and her voice hypnotised people. Because of these oddities, the townspeople decided to execute Cosmina as a witch, but because Cosmina was beautiful, before burning her, they raped the girl, raped her mother and sisters, and then burned them all in the house. But Cosmina because of her nature still managed to survive, however, cuckoo she went.

Because of the experience the girl became a crazy maniac who does not care about people's lives, she also became a nymphomaniac and masochist, but if someone showed her warm feelings and care, she reciprocated. Cosmina really liked to be treated gently, but life had made her used to pain and humiliation. I felt sorry for Cosmina, so I made her my concubine that lives in my domain. Time can go seven times faster here, or seven times slower than in the normal world, so for Cosmina I disappear for a couple of hours before I come back and play with her.

- I will definitely play with Cosmina, but I came to introduce you to a new friend with whom we will play together. - I replied, but Cosmina laid down on the bed and with a pleading look at me to play with her right now.

- Master... - the girl said quietly and I still started kissing this cutie and when I started sucking her nipples, Cosmina was moaning very nicely at that time.

I guess it was Cosmina who convinced me that Esdeath inside could also be a vulnerable girl who was forced by circumstances to be the way she was. So I decided not to kill Esdeath, but to enslave her, as my schizophrenia wanted, but before that, she still had to be defeated in battle.

Chelsea and Seriu told me that Esdeath had entered the city, and I decided to follow her for a while, but soon I noticed Mez with Esdeath, whose story I had overheard, and I felt sorry for her too, and I liked that mulatto girl the first time I saw her. So I decided to enslave her too, and of course, to help her so she wouldn't die soon.

After playing with Cosmina, I went to check on Mez, who was sitting in an isolated room that she couldn't get out of.

- Hi there, Mez, you and I have met a few times, but we never really got to know each other properly, all the time we were hampered by the fact that we wanted to kill each other... or rather, you wanted to with your friends working for the Prime Minister. - I said, and walked into the cell, 'Here we go again. - I said as Mez came at me again. She must have just taken her pills, because she was so fast and strong that I had to put on my armour to neutralise her.

- What do you want? - asked the immobile girl whose hands I held behind her back.

- Well, what does a man want from a girl as beautiful as you? I'll make you a deal, you become my concubine, and in return I'll heal you so you don't die without your pills, and I'll give you back the ability to live for more than two years. How long do you have enough pills? Anyway, I'll come for an answer in three days. - I was still holding Mez's hands behind her back, she was still trying to attack me with her hair that turned into sharp spikes, but it was useless against the armour's protection.

- The pills are enough for two days, in that time I will get out of here. - replied Mez.

- Okay, I'll come back in two days, you try to get out, I'll wonder if it's possible to get out of this prison. - I let go of the mulatto and moved to the normal world.

Soon we have a battle planned for the southern fortress of Shishukan, as we expected, the Prime Minister sent it to defend the Supreme General Budo. Esdeath was completely loyal to the Prime Minister, for she loved battles and wars, and by supporting Honest, she could be sure that there would always be wars and conflicts in the Empire. Budo, although he was a generalissimo, his main task was to ensure peace in the Empire, and because of Honest and his policies, the Empire would always be torn apart by conflict, so Budo wanted to eliminate the Prime Minister as soon as he eliminated the revolutionaries. The revolutionaries also want to eliminate the Prime Minister, but Budo thought that the rebels should be punished, because whatever the reasons, they went against the Emperor's power, and it is absolute. We tried to negotiate with that stubborn old man, but he was a stubborn bastard, and all the officials who knew Budo called him that.

- General Najenda, for betraying the Empire, I will punish you personally. - said Budo, standing on the wall of Shishukan Fortress. Budo was a tall, muscular man clad in armour, his Teigu Adramelech looked like piston-armour on his forearms. As Budo extended his arms forward, the pistons extended backwards, and then instantly returned to their original position, with a ball of lightning shooting out of Budo's arms and flying straight at Najenda.

- No way, Stubborn Bastard. - Najenda replied, and intercepted the ball of lightning with her hand, which was covered in a purple energy armour that completely neutralised Adramelech's attack, 'Come down here and I'll personally kick your ass, Stubborn Bastard! - Najenda threatened the Generalissimo of the Empire, and thrust her sword into the ground, causing a shockwave that damaged the wall of the fortress, a couple more blows like that and the wall will collapse, or you can strike directly on the wall, then it will be destroyed with one blow.... but if we take the fortress, we'll have to repair it later, so we don't want any unnecessary destruction.

- Supreme General Budo, you should take pity on your guards and surrender, or you'll all die. - said Akame.

- Akame, another traitor to the Empire, I will execute you too. - Budo jumped off the wall of the fortress, causing an explosion accompanied by thunder and lightning where he fell.

- You will not lay a finger on your sister. - Kurome said, wanting to eliminate whoever had attempted to harm her adored sister.

- Enemies of the Empire will die! You are the cause of chaos in the Empire, and I will turn you into dust and ashes! - Budo shouted, raising his hands to the sky, the pistons on his wristbands began to move quickly, shooting lightning into the sky, and moments later, thick columns of electrical discharges rained down on the ground towards the revolutionary army.

- The old man put on quite a show. - I shot a rocket into the sky, which sprayed a special aerosol dielectric that prevented the air from ionising, making all the lightning disappear, - But from now on, the show's over.

- ... - Budo tried to create a ball of lightning near his hands and shoot a plasma beam out of it, and it even succeeded, but the beam only travelled a couple of metres before disappearing, - Then I'll beat you to death. - Budo lunged at us in hand-to-hand combat. Adramelech was still intensifying his strikes, but all the lightning bolts disappeared a metre away from the general, however, Budo was one of the strongest warriors in the Empire, in hand-to-hand combat he was simply the strongest in the Empire.

The stubborn bastard was fought by Najenda, and thanks to her blade Onimaru was able to cut off Budo's hands, depriving him of his Teiga cuffs, but even so, the Generalissimo continued to fight with his legs until he lost them as well. I took the still living body of the supreme general to hang on a cross in front of the imperial palace later.

The guards defending the fortress were morally shattered by General Budo's defeat, while the revolutionaries were encouraged by our general's victory. To the soldiers, Budo was the strongest warrior of the Empire, and since we were able to defeat him, the Guards themselves had no chance. Only a fraction of the Guards decided to fight us, most of them just surrendered. We destroyed the gates of the fortress, and quickly got inside, where we quickly eliminated the resisting defenders of the fortress, then it's up to the revolutionary army, let them completely occupy the fortress and capture the guardsmen.
