Meanwhile In The Empire Pt.III
The astral body returned to the prison cell after a few hours with Cardinal Six. Upon its arrival, it met a shocking sight.
The Tatsumaki Clan head was on her knees, bowing down to the other Clan heads who only had flabbergasted expressions on their faces. The Sotomura Clan head was nowhere to be found and the guard managing them had removed his helmet, to reveal that he was from the Sotomura clan.
The Astral being couldn’t recognise this man, but the others seemed to know him. He dropped a pile of items before them, then bowed.
“I was unable to retrieve all your personal artifacts, but I did get your main weapons. We must flee the capital now. From what I’ve heard, they’ve already surrounded the borders of the empire and are wiping out all our forces.”
When he said this, the others went to the pile and picked up their weapons. Akihiko took his spear, Yoshitatsu took her sword and Mori took his gauntlets. They performed a quick inspection and were satisfied.
