Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

Let's leave that aside for now.

There was no time for catching up; I just asked about the situation.

"all the best."

Najendan replied.

"Currently, our army has mobilized approximately 400,000 troops to surround the capital from all sides. We can launch a general offensive tomorrow, with our forces divided into four routes to break into the city from four directions."

This is the general battle plan.

The capital city is so large that it can easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they were to pour in and fight against another hundreds of thousands of troops.

Of course, not all of the hundreds of thousands were deployed to urban warfare.

Only about half of the troops were actually engaged in street fighting. The rest were responsible for defending the outer perimeter, firstly to prevent the Imperial Army in the other fortresses from recklessly reinforcing them, and secondly to prevent the Imperial Army in the capital from breaking out and escaping.

"Where are Akame and the others?"

After a brief introduction, Najendan asked a question.

Akame and the others will also assist in this operation, working together from the inside to capture the city gate, allowing the Workers' and Peasants' Army to advance rapidly.

Moreover, Esdeath has not been killed yet.

"They are already prepared inside. Tomorrow they will launch an attack on the guards at the city gate and open the gate for you to enter."

Seven Nights explains one sentence.

"As for Esdeath, I assure you she will pose no threat whatsoever tomorrow, so don't worry."

"Ah."

Najendan nodded.

Qi Ye's promises are still trustworthy; at least she hasn't found Qi Ye to have broken his word yet.

Then Qiye looked at Chelsea.

"We're about to overthrow the empire; we have enough talent reserves, right?"

This question mainly concerns the reserves of officials.

Conquering the world is easy, but governing it is not so simple. If local officials do not perform their duties well, it will cause dissatisfaction and anger, and eventually lead to rebellion.

"The education we've received in the last few years, along with the contributions of some conscientious officials from the former empire, has been largely sufficient."

Chelsea replied.

She knows these things best, after all, she handles all the political affairs, is responsible for the appointment of officials, and even the logistics of the army. In a sense, she is the one who holds the real power.

Perhaps she could become an empress.

However, that's a matter for later, and it's hard to say how things will be arranged afterward.

Anyway, Qiye won't care.

Mine wasn't interested in those things; she just wanted to overthrow the empire and ensure that orphans like her would no longer be bullied and could live a good life until they grew up.

Moreover, she is capable of leading an army into battle, after all, Qi Ye taught her a lot.

However, Qiye never taught her anything about politics.

"It seems everything is almost ready, so I won't say anything more. In short, you guys handle it yourselves."

Qi Ye waved his hand.

Then he looked at Mine and asked her a question.

"Mine, where's your tent? We'll stay with you tonight."

"I'll take you there."

Mine nodded toward Najendan and Chelsea.

Then, taking Qiye and Feibuli with her, she left the main tent that served as the command post and headed towards the tent where she was resting.

……

night.

Everything was peaceful tonight.

However, everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm, and that after dawn, bloodshed was inevitable.

This is inevitable.

Unless the emperor and his ministers are willing to surrender and the imperial army lays down its arms, or the workers' and peasants' army abandons its offensive.

But this is not possible.

Nanaya knew, Najenda knew, Chelsea knew, and Mine knew.

Akame, Kurome, and Leone all know this.

The emperor knew, the ministers knew, the empire's top brass knew, and Esdeath knew too.

Soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Army, soldiers of the Imperial Army, and ordinary people in the capital all knew about it.

This decisive battle will either result in the fall of the capital and the overthrow of the empire, leading to the establishment of a new nation; or it will result in the defeat of the Workers' and Peasants' Army, allowing the empire to continue its rule and mobilize troops to exterminate the Workers' and Peasants' Army.

We have to win!

Outside the tent, Najendan looked at the moon hanging high in the sky and sighed softly.

Too many people sacrificed their lives for this day.

It was not only the sacrifices of the Workers' and Peasants' Army, but also the sacrifices of the Empire, the Revolutionary Army, the remaining rebels, and ordinary people.

Too many sacrifices have been made; it's time for all of this to end.

"What do you want to do after you win?"

Chelsea came out from inside, carrying two glasses of water. She handed one to Najendan and asked her a question.

This question suddenly came to mind.

She is also a person with ideals, unlike some lazy bum.

At first, she wanted to be a noblewoman and live a good life; then, after realizing the darkness of the empire, her ideal changed to overthrowing the empire and establishing a new country.

The first point is no longer relevant, and there is a good chance that the second point can be achieved.

But what happens after it's achieved?

I hadn't thought about it.

Perhaps we should continue to strive for the new nation?

No.

She didn't like a life that was too tiring; she still wanted a good life, a peaceful life without too many worries.

Najendan, however, was different.

"Me? I can't think of anything else I can do besides dedicating the rest of my life to the new country."

"Hmm... there will always be things I want to do. If I don't have them now, maybe I will tomorrow."

"that's true."

Najendan nodded.

His gaze shifted, looking towards the capital city.

Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle.

Chapter 330: The Day of the Decisive Battle

early morning.

A military review of troops.

Tens of thousands of troops are ready to go.

Bathed in the morning light, swords stood tall and banners fluttered in the breeze.

The parade ground was completely silent, filled with a chilling atmosphere that made it difficult to muster any will to resist.

These are all elite soldiers.

Since the uprising in Jinrui City, many people have fallen, and many are still alive.

After countless battles, those who could participate in the capital city campaign were all battle-hardened elites, the true gold refined from the ashes.

"Gentlemen."

As the commander-in-chief of the Workers' and Peasants' Army, Nadeshitan is giving a final pep talk.

She had done this many times, both when she was an Imperial General and after joining the Workers' and Peasants' Army; the number of times was too many to remember.

But she hopes this is the last time.

Although unlikely, because after conquering the capital and overthrowing the empire, it would still be necessary to pacify the surrounding areas.

Besides the capital, there are still many regions under the control of the empire, where the empire's regular army and city defense forces are stationed.

Especially in border regions that border other ethnic groups.

The border regions still harbor over a million elite Imperial troops, primarily to defend against attacks from foreign tribes.

Other cities also have a considerable number of imperial garrison troops and even regular soldiers, as well as governors, generals, and so on who are loyal to the empire. They probably won't surrender easily.

The Imperial Army stationed on the border is relatively easy to deal with; it's estimated that most of them would be willing to serve the new regime. However, the situation is different for those in the various cities.

Those who were willing to revolt have already done so; the rest are loyal followers of the empire.

So we'll still have to fight when the time comes.

But let's put that aside for now. The most important thing right now is to take down the capital.

"Today is the day of the decisive battle."

Standing on the reviewing stand, Najendan surveyed the soldiers below.
