Chapter 568 A Bold Idea

Although the captains present were not as proficient in assassination as Soi-Fong, they were also used to the storm and naturally understood the meaning of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's words.

Yamamoto, who was sitting in the upper seat, suddenly asked: "Are you sure that Hiroe Chouzuka has fallen into the Invisible Empire?"

Kutsuchi Mayuri really didn't like the word "sure", but he didn't have the time to dwell on the details at the moment, so he nodded as an answer to Yamamoto's words.

"The other party is the remnant of the Quincy that fought against us a thousand years ago. Since they have committed crimes in the Soul Society, they should be regarded as a declaration of war against us."

Yamamoto stood up and did not continue to talk about the things that happened a thousand years ago. Instead, he ordered: "Until Hiroe Chouzuka returns, the Gotei 13 will enter a state of combat readiness."

"The Technology Development Bureau will establish contact with Hiroe Chouzuka as soon as possible, and the decision on Hiroe Chouzuka will be discussed later."

What this means is that whether to save Hiroe depends on whether he is dead or alive in the end, and even if Mayuri Kurotsuchi can contact Hiroe in the end, the Gotei 13 will have to discuss whether to rescue him, and the possibility of abandoning Hiroe cannot be ruled out.

Although such an order was cold, the willful and stubborn rescue like Ichigo and others was a bit childish. Therefore, even Ukitake, who was the kindest, could only pray for Hongjiang and others in his heart while leaving the captain's meeting to prepare for the disaster that would come at an unknown time.

…

Like a blooming five-petal snowflake, it means the stars in the night sky that never go out. Its name is the Star Cross Badge, which represents the top combat power of the Quincy.

The Stern Cross Knights was founded by the King of the Quincy, Youhabach, a thousand years ago to declare war on the God of Death. The noble Stern Cross Badge is the symbol of honor given to it.

Although the result of the war was a failure and the Stern Cross Knights were also damaged, its main force was retained. After a thousand years of recuperation, they and the sleeping King of the Quincy waited for the war to come again.

At this moment, this elite division gathered together. This is the square closest to the magnificent Ice Palace in the center of the city. Nearly thirty people are scattered in all directions of the square. They are dressed in different clothes, but they are all white, with star-cross patterns on the silver buttons on their chests. There is almost no communication between them.

"How long will we wait here? And now you should tell us why we are gathered together, right?"

An impatient voice broke the silence of the square. From what the speaker said, it seems that it is not common to gather the entire Star-Cross Knights like this.

"There are enemies who intend to harm your majesty and have been introduced into the empire." The man in the center of the square said lightly. I think he is the person who was just called Hugo.

He has long golden hair, and his slim white windbreaker seems to have no wrinkles. There is no extra expression on his handsome face, as if no matter how serious the matter is, it will become insignificant after he speaks.

The most attractive thing about the man is his blood-red eyes, which exude endless power like a crater, but the strange thing is that his eyes have the ability to tear people apart, but they seem to be sealed by a layer of ice crystals. The contradictory twins of tyranny and peace can coexist in these eyes, achieving a delicate balance.

Even if he himself does not have an unattainable temperament, he is the most dazzling person in the Stern Cross Knights, the leader of the Stern Cross Knights-Huglan Hasward.

"Oh, is it the god of death?" It was still the impatient voice, but this time the man's tone was a little teasing, "So, where did the prey go?"

"It seems that there was some accident. It seems that the enemy is not simple. Being too complacent will lose balance."

Hasward said, and suddenly turned his head to the left. At the end of the field of vision was a bell tower. The bronze bell was more rustic against the pure white background.

"What's wrong, Haschwald?"

"Is there anything over there?"

Hastwood shook his head, "Maybe I saw it wrong."

"There are nine enemies, two Arrancars, two humans, and the rest are Shinigami. Although they were not brought directly to us as expected, they should be distributed throughout the Silver Frame City now."

Hastwood briefly introduced the situation, and a slightly boyish female voice sounded: "Arrancar, is it something made by Aizen Sosuke? Shinigami are really getting more and more corrupt, and they are actually associated with that kind of garbage!"

"Whether Arrancar or human, they are not our enemies in one blow, but if we encounter those five Shinigami, we still have to be careful." Haschwald said, his eyes drifted towards the direction of the clock tower again: "There are characters that His Majesty cares about in there, and there may be a monster hiding."

At this moment, the clock tower was facing the square with its back, and Hongjiang was leaning against the wall with a bitter smile on his face. He just saw the situation in the square from a distance with Kidō, but he didn't expect to be noticed by Haschwald.

Of course, this does not mean that the other party must have discovered him. He might have looked in this direction because of some inexplicable sixth sense, just like Kenpachi and Yachiryu are more alert to danger than ordinary people. It is not ruled out that Haschwald is also such a person.

Another possibility is that Haschwald sensed the spiritual pressure of his release of the Kidō. Such a subtle spiritual pressure at such a long distance should be difficult to sense. If this is true, it can only show how difficult Haschwald is.

Of course, even if it was the first time for Hongjiang to see Haschwald in person, he would not think that the other party was a simple character. Even if this person was not as difficult as Aizen, he would not be much less difficult.

Hongjiang did not explore the situation in the square again. He was on guard against the changes around him while sorting out the existing information.

First of all, his current location was undoubtedly the Invisible Empire. Although there were certain changes, it was better to take this step than to say "failure".

Moreover, according to the situation in the square, although Hongjiang did not confirm the members of the Stern Cross one by one, it seemed that all of them should be there.

It was almost certain that the Invisible Empire had interfered with the unexpected arrangement of Kurotsuchi Mayuri. I just don't know whether the other party relied on the ability of Yhwach or its excellent intelligence system.

However, looking at the fact that the other party ran in vain, the possibility of the latter would undoubtedly be higher. Of course, the factor of Yhwach's ability cannot be ruled out. But if this is the case, Hongjiang will only be happier, which means that Yhwach is indeed at a level that can be broken.

Hongjiang's thoughts became active. The palace in the center of the city was so eye-catching. He knew it must be the place where Yhwach sacrificed himself.

Although the most important thing at the moment should be to gather companions, collect intelligence and then try to escape, Hongjiang still had a bold idea in his mind.

Is this the best time to end the war?
