**Chapter 1188: The Advancing Lightning Minister!**
Hill of Alnus.
Here, the troops of the Auxiliary Legion's Army Second Army Group, First Division, Second Brigade, First Regiment, are still responsible for guarding the camp.
Inside the Regimental Commander's Office.
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley was carefully observing the map on the table.
This map was based on the one drawn by the Japan Advance Team, with a larger scope added from their own detection.
As the conquest phase in the 'Nuclear World' was nearing its end, officials from the Government Faction would enter to clean up the aftermath in a few days.
Therefore, the Command Department began transporting modern equipment such as helicopters, transport planes, and drones.
This greatly improved their detection efficiency on the Falmart Continent.
Now, the area within a thousand kilometers centered around the Imperial Capital was completely under their watch.
If everything went smoothly, they should be able to figure out the outline of the entire continent in another month and extend their reach to overseas zones.
At this time, news came back.
Colonel Eisenhower's First Brigade had already completed the occupation of the Imperial Capital.
Colonel Schröner, who had returned, led his Second Brigade to advance west.
Once the Admirals dealt with the so-called gods, their Auxiliary Legion could dispatch more troops to fully occupy all regions of this world.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley looked at the map, his heart swelling with pride.
Although he was only a mid-level military officer in the Auxiliary Legion, the sense of pride brought by conquering a world made his heart surge and his blood boiling.
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley now, no, it should be said that many military officers from the Demon Slayer World, had already completely accepted the rule of the World Government and were genuinely proud of it.
Every time they heard that the World Government was going to invade a new world, they always held strong expectations: anticipation for the new world itself, and hope that they would be chosen to participate in the battle.
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley sat down.
He casually picked up the cup on the table and sniffed the fragrance of the coffee.
Regarding the occupation of the Imperial Capital, he suddenly thought of an interesting story Colonel Eisenhower mentioned on the phone.
He said they encountered a woman there who claimed to be the clan leader of the 'Headhunter Rabbit Tribe'.
She suddenly ran out and knelt, begging them to kill all the Imperial Royal Family.
Her reason was that the Imperial First Prince Sozal had committed a crime deserving death by slaughtering their entire race three years ago!
As for her, to protect the remaining clansmen, she became his slave and had suffered endless torment day and night for several years.
She also swore that as long as the World Government could take revenge for their race and provide them with an environment for procreation and development, the Headhunter Rabbit Tribe would fight for the World Government for generations upon generations, lifetime after lifetime!
And when this clan leader named Tyuule finished speaking, it was said that the Elf Race, Winged People Tribe, Medusa Race, and many beast-type demi-humans suddenly appeared around them.
They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Colonel Eisenhower, requesting the execution of the entire Imperial Family and Nobility.
This showed how much the Imperial High Command was resented by the various races.
However, having already occupied the Imperial Capital, Colonel Eisenhower felt that he should not arbitrarily execute the Imperial Family and Nobility.
After all, there were also many royalty and nobility in the world.
So he called him to ask him to report the situation to the Command Department.
Then they would just follow the order of the World Government.
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley strongly agreed with Colonel Eisenhower's idea.
In this world, the World Government must act more cautiously.
[Dong dong dong!]
Suddenly, the door was knocked urgently from the outside.
This made Lieutenant Colonel Bradley's heart tighten. He thought to himself, "Could it be a gods attack?"
Ever since Admiral Aokiji left the camp, he had been feeling uneasy.
Immediately after, he saw his adjutant push the door open and enter, his face full of panic.
"Lieutenant Colonel! The Gate of Ginza has disappeared!!!"
"What?!"
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley stood up abruptly, somewhat doubting if he had heard wrong.
"The gate is gone! Lieutenant Colonel!" the adjutant shouted again.
Hearing clearly this time, he didn't bother speaking and quickly ran out of the office, with the adjutant following closely behind.
Soon, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley arrived at the center of the camp.
Many military officers and soldiers were already gathered here.
And various uneasy discussions filled the air.
"It's over..."
Looking at the place where a stone temple gate should have originally existed, which was now empty, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley was also stunned, his mouth agape, not knowing what to say.
Although he had always had this worry before, when it actually became reality, it was still hard to accept.
Because this meant they might not be able to go back, and would never see their relatives and friends again...
At the same time.
To the north of the Hill of Alnus, there was a city named 'Italica'.
It was the junction of the Thessalia Avenue and Appia Avenue designated by the Empire.
Coupled with the large amount of farmland cultivated around it, it was both one of the Empire's granaries and a very prosperous trade city.
The lord here before was Count Formar.
However, he had died under the cannon fire of the Japan Advance Team along with the United Army of Kings.
The current lord is Count Formar's third daughter, Yui Formar.
A very young and beautiful blonde little girl.
But this place no longer belonged to her, nor to anyone else.
Inside the city at this moment, there were flames from explosions everywhere, scattered corpses, various afterimages flying through the air, and a strong scent of gore.
This place had become the battlefield where the Ninja Faction and the Mage Faction were fighting!
Mages riding magic wands in the sky released colorful magic bullets downwards.
Ninjas standing on houses spat fireballs or gales into the air.
Figures engaged in fierce battle could be seen in every one of the streets and alleys inside the city.
Every moment, scenes of houses being blown up by ninjutsu or magic could be seen.
Even in the farmland burning fiercely outside the city, the screams of mages or ninjas suffering casualties could be heard...
After Rondel Magic City was attacked by ninjas before, they began mobilizing mages to conduct detection outwards.
At the same time, they organized teams to patrol day and night, vigilant against further ninja attacks, and began researching various information about ninjas.
So when Ay led a thousand ninjas to attack Rondel, Rondel quickly detected it.
They immediately dispatched troops composed of mages who were relatively good at combat to intercept them.
They were determined not to allow Rondel to become a battlefield again.
And this 'Italica' happened to be right between the two sides!
Calamity naturally descended upon this city.
Whether it was the nobility of Formar or the tens of thousands of residents inside the city, they were instantly caught up in the combat between mages and ninjas.
The surging war swept through the entire city at an extremely fast speed, devouring the lives of countless people.
Ay's ninjas, needless to say, did not need to care about the civilians of this world.
As for the mages of Rondel, they couldn't bear to affect these civilians.
However, the ninja side's advance speed was simply too fast.
They seemed to be running on two legs, but their speed was no less than that of flying on magic wands!
So there was no time to evacuate the residents inside the city first.
The ninjas also launched their offensive first, so they could only engage in battle.
As the fighting continued, casualties began to appear.
The mages' eyes also turned bloodshot from killing, and they no longer cared about any civilians, using powerful magic one after another.
"Cato, Cato, this old man wants to see how long you can endure."
'Lightning Minister' Ay stood on the mountain slope outside the city with five teams of ninjas, watching the chaotic battlefield ahead with cold eyes.
He had already discovered that those mages severely lacked combat experience compared to the ninjas on his side.
And their fighting will was also very weak.
Once their defensive magic was broken, they would fall into panic, shouting and screaming.
If they were injured, in pain, they couldn't even use magic.
They were clearly a group of guys who were used to peace, and couldn't be called warriors at all!
The combat they had experienced before was probably sparring with each other, or facing magic beasts in the wilderness or something.
In this situation, even though the ninja side had fewer numbers, they still managed to suppress the mage side.
One must know that the ninjas who could join the Sea Ninja Village were all senior ninjas from the major ninja villages!
Suddenly, a large amount of dark clouds began to gather in the sky.
At the same time, an exceptionally magnificent silver magic array appeared.
"Finally making a move!"
Ay narrowed his eyes, a cold light shooting out.
[Boom!]
The next moment, a large amount of blue lightning and surging aura erupted from his body.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
Activate!
Instantly, under the gaze of the ninjas behind him, Ay, filled with rage, instantly broke through the obstruction of the sound barrier in front of him, cracking the ground beneath his feet.
He transformed into a thick electric flash and shot out.
Directly pointing towards the Sage Cato above the silver magic array...
Hill of Alnus.
Here, the troops of the Auxiliary Legion's Army Second Army Group, First Division, Second Brigade, First Regiment, are still responsible for guarding the camp.
