**Chapter 592: Good Kid, Really Good!**
Panic had already spread throughout the Imperial Territory, and the North was completely engulfed in War.
Leone and Bonny, the two young Female Vice Admirals of the Imperial Military, were currently leading four hundred thousand Army Unit, stationed in the Mount Famu area north of the Imperial Capital.
While receiving large numbers of Routed Soldiers fleeing back from Muur Fortress, they were also beginning to establish four Defense Line, each fifty kilometers long and spaced about one kilometer apart.
Thanks to the help of various Danger Beast and Ministerial Arms, the construction of facilities like Trench, Fortress, Underground Space, Command Center, and Field Hospital was highly efficient.
The Soldiers only needed to be responsible for laying out the Barbed Wire and Minefield, which was why everything was already taking shape after just over ten days.
However, Leone's mood grew increasingly irritable, and she needed to find someone for Sparring every day.
This tormented the Officers here, leaving them utterly miserable. Secretly, they wished for Admiral Bulat to return soon, as only this Big Shot could handle the 'violent woman'.
About a hundred kilometers away, Muur Fortress was occupied by the First Division of the First Main Combat Legion led by Onigumo.
This place was originally built to accommodate ten thousand people, so it was more than spacious enough for their twenty thousand or so men, providing a relatively warm Camp for the Officers and Soldiers in this freezing Snow Region.
At this moment, Onigumo was also waiting.
Waiting for what?
Waiting for the Main Combat Division of Vice Admiral Ghost Shark, Bullet, to arrive. This was because they knew the enemy had assembled a Large Army of over four hundred thousand, and it was highly likely that even more Military Strength would follow.
His own forces, even at full strength, numbered only around twenty thousand. Although their Individual Combat Strength was considerably stronger, it wasn't enough to Resist a Large Army of hundreds of thousands possessing various Supernatural Ability and Supernatural Creature.
In this situation, either the Army Headquarters needed to send more Main Battle Legion or Auxiliary Legion, or a High-Level Combatant needed to come and take control of the overall situation. Therefore, Bullet chose to come personally to confront the so-called hundreds of thousands of Supernatural troops.
At this moment, inside a temporarily cleaned Stone House within the Fortress, a medium-sized Heater Fan Electrical Appliance was placed in the corner. The orange-red Radiance it emitted brought a certain warmth to the entire room.
This room was divided into two Zone by an Iron Gate: the Cage inside and the Interrogation Room furnished with tables and chairs, with a small door leading out behind it.
The conditions were indeed quite basic, but none of the people present cared.
"Are these the so-called 'Imperial Arms' and 'Ministerial Arms'?"
Onigumo stood expressionlessly, examining a strange Mask and a somewhat ornate Long Sword on the table. Then, he cast a cold Gaze at the white-haired, golden-eyed youth inside the Cage.
To be a Vice Admiral of a country at less than twenty years old, and capable of leading a Large Army of one hundred thousand.
Just reading this description was enough to know he was a Genius.
A similar figure was Mima Amatori from the Kabaneri World. He was even more exaggerated, capable of leading a Large Army of four hundred thousand at the Age of twelve.
That's right, the youth inside was Army Lieutenant General Nahas of the Imperial Army.
In the Canon, he was a Member of the Imperial Assassination Unit Special Selection Group, just like Akame.
Furthermore, he was their Boss, No. 1. It was rumored that his Ability and Talent were comparable to Akame's, or even higher.
However, in this Parallel World, suspected by Im to be influenced by a Transmigrator 'Holy Emperor', his Fate, like that of many others, had changed.
To Onigumo's question, Nahas, whose hands and feet were bound by Seastone Handcuffs, merely lowered his head and remained silent.
"You don't think we'll have no way to deal with you just because you don't speak, do you? According to the Intelligence I possess, there seems to be an Imperial Arms that can see through people's thoughts. Coincidentally, we also have similar Means, even Memory Reading."
Onigumo looked at the other party expressionlessly.
"If you don't mind your past Experience, thoughts, and feelings being examined in great detail by others, then I suggest you correct your Attitude."
"Moreover, you really don't need to Resist us like this. Because once the World Government conquers this World, we might even become Colleague and comrades-in-arms, and then go on to conquer the next World together..."
Perhaps because he had followed Sakazuki for a period before, Onigumo, who appeared cold and strict on the surface, had a smooth and persuasive way of speaking.
Nahas slowly raised his head, his golden eyes filled with coldness and Anger.
"To speak so lightly of invading other innocent World, you Small Fry claim to be the Army of some Government, but essentially, how are you different from bandits!"
"Heh."
Onigumo's Expression was full of indifference towards Nahas's words. "A naive kid who hasn't even grasped Stance and Interests can serve as a Vice Admiral and lead a Large Army. No wonder you were completely defeated."
"You!"
Nahas was greatly angered, but just as he opened his mouth to continue cursing, Onigumo revealed a cold Smile and said,
"It's fine. As the victors, I grant you defeated the Authority to squat there and curse me. Anyway, in my opinion, it's just you venting your Rage over your incompetence in protecting your World."
"..."
Nahas's Expression turned ashen, and he could no longer speak.
Indeed.
As a Soldier, and a General leading a Large Army of one hundred thousand, not only did he fail to defeat the Invader and drive them out of his own territory, but he couldn't even defend the Defense Line that relied on a large Fortress.
What else could that be but incompetence?
"In ten minutes, they will ask you some things, such as the Intelligence about the Imperial Arms and Ministerial Arms on this table, and also Intelligence about your Empire's Military."
"If you still refuse to answer, we will call someone who can hear your inner thoughts and read your Memory."
After speaking, Onigumo ignored Nahas and turned to walk out of this temporary Interrogation Room.
"Damn it..."
Nahas glared angrily as the other party's figure disappeared from his Line of Sight, then lowered his head again, falling into a dilemma.
Knowing for certain that he couldn't keep the Secret, as a Normal Human, he naturally didn't want his Memory and feelings to be completely seen through by others. However, actively Leak Secrets was also unacceptable for a General.
"Take your Time to think. You still have eight minutes."
An Army Colonel who remained in the room looked at Nahas calmly and smiled. In truth, they didn't care how much useful Intelligence Nahas could provide.
Because the World Government already had a more senior insider who had defected. Their main purpose in using this Means was to achieve three objectives.
One, to understand the function of these two things on the table faster.
Two, perhaps obtain new Intelligence about the Imperial Military.
Three, suppress Nahas's morale. The World Government held the Attitude of trying to absorb such Otherworlder Talent as much as possible if they could, but it required the other party to completely surrender.
Making him actively Leak Secrets was actually a good Means. Guilt and remorse were often highly effective strong acids that corroded Loyalty and conscience.
Soon, Time was up.
"First, tell us about the Mask on this table. What is its Name and Ability?"
While asking, the Army Colonel picked up the Pen on the table, preparing to record. However, he saw Nahas inside raise his head and sneer, "No comment. I'm quite curious about what kind of Mind-Reading Method you have. Call the person over!"
In the end, he chose to refuse.
He was originally an Orphan who lived by stealing until the Empire sent people to find him that year and brought him to the Orphanage in the Imperial Capital.
There, he took a Hot Bath for the first time, ate steaming hot Food, slept in a warm bed, made various friends, and experienced the Feeling of being cared for.
There, he also learned basic cultural Knowledge, started Army Training and absorbing Tactical Knowledge at the Age of sixteen, and after becoming an adult, was even brought to the Imperial Palace to select an Imperial Arms suitable for himself. Within just a few years, he was already an Army Lieutenant General.
Therefore, Nahas was a person who had truly received Imperial Grace and National Grace. It was absolutely impossible for him to actively Leak Secrets Imperial Intelligence!
A few minutes later.
Onigumo received this News, which brought an ugly Smile to his terribly serious Expression.
"Good kid, really good. We must strive to win him over when the Time comes..."
