Good morning, afternoon or night, the truth for this chapter I come somewhat inspired because the next chapter will finally be the meeting of Angelica and the society of souls, as I already said this chapter will not be one fo action but I hope to be able to make it interesting.
Let's go.
Is it really not yet clear that I have no rights to Bleach?
Psi
Come from the sea
Preparing the meeting.
With Ichigo
Outskirts of Shamballa.
A hollow sound was heard and then a young man growling at the blow to his head - Damn! - and the orange-haired young man launches himself into a charge against the old woman.
She with her sword stops the possible cut and says - Your anger will cloud your vision, something you can not allow against any enemy - and she with her right hand manages to put aside Ichigo's arm, leaving the woman's rapier to inches from Ichigo's chest.
The voice of the hollow was heard in Ichigo's mind "Of course, in those cases, you can leave everything to me, king"
Ichigo grimaced, he would use his hollow power once he is sure he will be able to control it, right now he can't risk that.
Sighing the hybrid question - But how will I do that ?, she killed almost the entire 11th squad, they put the soul society in danger, how can I not feel angry? -
To this the woman with crow feathers responds - It is not being angry, it is not letting that anger dominate you, you know well what the battle will be like, here it is not enough to have more reiatsu if you lose strategic thinking there will be no chance to win -
- The previous imperator died for that - Hearing that Ichigo stared at her - In his revenge against the Maledicti he let himself be carried away by rage and although he managed to kill Krash Ketch he left an opening so that during his death the previous leader of the Maledicti will cut his throat -
- Galen is not affected as much by anger, but my sadness and concern for his men, if you die in combat you will affect many more people than yourself, your family and friends -
After hearing that he only thought, he thought for a good couple of minutes where his teacher and he were alone in appreciative silence.
- ... You're right - He admitted - Let's continue training and teach me -
The woman smiled and moved into position.
- Although a question - Ichigo raised a hand - Did Galen's father die like that? - Ichigo asked him
The woman laughed - No, do you know who the prince-electors are? -
The orange-haired boy shook his head.
- They are politicians and military elected by the people of the different regions that the empire controls, and one of them can be chosen to lead all of Angelica, that is the emperor, imperator, rex, king, dux, as they refer to him depends In which region you were born, in this region emperor is usually used, I am from Luzia and in that place we usually say, imperator -
- I see - and after that, he was on guard when he saw that the old woman rushed him.
Maledicti landing
On the west coasts of the soul society mostly nothing happened, it was a place without much importance, the waters did not have much fish, the area was swampy and muddy, the terrain uneven, although there were quite a few trees.
But this day was different because if there was someone who saw the sea, they could see an enormous number of large ships, black smoke came out of them and the "people" prepared for the landing.
A few meters from the beach they anchored their anchors, positioned themselves so that the side of the ship faced the beach, and began to lay planks by which the Maledicti descended.
They first sent about 6 explorers on horseback to collect information from the surroundings, seeing that beyond the beach it was a swampy area they got off the horse and continued exploring on foot.
The others started to lower everything necessary, in a short time they started cutting down trees to build a small outpost, some built bonfires to start cooking, some even started to practice a little.
The plan was simple enough, to create an outpost here to wait for Rhayla, also to create a small watchtower later, where scouts reported that the sludge was running out to mar the formations and maneuvers. Since in case of arriving here first the spirits of the east the Maledicti could maneuver.
By the time the sun finished caressing this part of the world with its warmth and left space to appreciate the stars, the Maledicti finished making a fence, in addition to a few stakes, some guards were assigned who changed by turns to warn of something strange happening while they slept and that was the first day.
…
On the second day, more things were done, the explorers were equipped with a camouflage cape to advance further without risk of being detected, they were also given a small scarecrow that they could on a road if they find one, it is a sign that they usually to indicate to his allies that there is a base nearby.
Pickers were also sent to find where to get food, they continued with the collection of wood and some even had time to train.
Before night the explorers arrived, 4 found paths and put up the scarecrows, one found a city a couple of kilometers from his position and another a bush with berries.
The gatherers found a place where there were fruit trees and deer, so it was a good day.
With the wood, they increased the size and thickness of the fence, as well as making a small warehouse to prevent the powder containers from getting wet.
…
Third day.
Throughout the morning nothing relevant happened, in fact, the captain in command Kurt was tempted to communicate by radio with the leader, but decided to wait one more day, since the soul society had communication equipment and did not want them to find out of his presence.
But, haha, but luckily for them, they did not have to wait any longer, since in the afternoon one of the explorers returned very excited screaming - The leader Rhayla is here -
And behind him came the army of cams that the leader had gathered, along with her veterans, the Maledicti were pleased with their return and celebrated for about 3 hours -
Of course, after the festivities, the plan began to be drawn, since the soul society is looking for it and the place where the Maledicti will win has already been chosen.
So after that, they went to the nearby city, they plundered it although they did not do a great massacre either rather kidnappings and they took what was necessary. They left a small garrison near their escape point if everything goes wrong.
With Angelica.
There were differences compared to the landing of the Maledicti, Galen was able to freely contact Soi fon, she gave them a landing location where it would not take many days to reach the soul society army.
According to Soi fon, the soul society assembled a smaller army than they had, this because the eleventh division was almost destroyed, and they could not afford to neglect the seireitei.
The divisions carried more or less half of their strength, these divisions were:
The second.
The fifth.
The thirteenth
The sixth
The tenth
The other 7 (because the 11 is not in a position to help), are in command of the protection of the Seireitei and other important cities because due to a large amount of looting that the Maledicti did, they did not want more cities to be affected.
The captain of the punishment forces gave them the coordinates of a landing place where they would not attract attention, and they could meet them quickly.
The place was quite flat, there were no trees, although there were white and yellow flowers, in addition to many animals
The boats would stay here in case they needed to retreat, by means of boats the army gathered by Angelica headed for the plain, it took some time since it was an army of 4,680 men.
According to Soi fon, that of the society of souls is 2,957.
The best situation is that the Maledicti are retreating to return with a larger army, but there is also the possibility that they are not.
Right now his army is forming for the march and Galen is waiting for a certain orange-haired boy, although part of his concern is that he said he will bring help.
Galen already had his shiny armor on, the difference with the other times is that he wears a necklace with a snake wrapped in a cross, that same symbol was carved on the back of his armor, just as the banner bearers on his flags had the symbols of their respective region.
When suddenly something orange appears from the deck of the ship, the black-haired man knows that he has arrived.
Ichigo, in his black clothes, appears before Galen and says - I hope I have not been late - and offers his hand to Galen.
With a smile, the imperator replies - Don't worry, but I need you to put on the armor too, so Soi fon told us, they are using stamps to remove the reiatsu - Before I can say anything else, the man from Mocha skin sees several people.
A fairly large young man, he is dark in both skin and hair, his hair covers his eyes, he wears a white sleeveless shirt, a necklace with a cross and jeans.
Another boy, but this one wasn't as big, his bone-white and sapphire robes reminded him of a doctor.
And finally a girl with the same hair color as Ichigo, maybe her sister? She was also quite blessed on the chest, her shirt was golden with white details, her pants were the color of snow, as well as having an ornament in her hair.
With a big sigh, Galen asked Ichigo - Who are they? And why did you bring them? -
- I brought them because I know they can help - The hybrid spoke with confidence - The big man we know as Chad - And suddenly Chad shows the transformation of his arm to something similar to a shield.
- The one with the glasses, Uryu - The Quincy shows his reiatsu bow.
- She is Orihime, a friend with the ability to heal - And Orihime, well, just say hello.
Raising his eyebrow the black-haired man asks - Is her level of healing kido good? -
Hearing that, Orihime replies - It's not really kido - She raised her hands to her head and from that colorful accessory came out some little beings - These are my fairies, they allow me to heal people, as well as make shields -
- None of you are Shinigami, or am I wrong? -
All of them denied and Uryu added - Ha if all you have seen are Shinigami you will be surprised by the Quincys -
The emperor murmured - No los conocen ni en su casa - and after scratching his head he told them - Look if you really believe that you can help against the Maledicti, start by putting on protection -
- Why do we need it? - Asked Uryu
- I do not blame Ichigo for not knowing it, but they manage Alchemy, art created in our world, the human -
- But the truth is that it is not of much use in the human world, at least its fantastic part, here, on the other hand, it does work and one of its possibilities is to cancel reiatsu, we cannot risk being exposed. -
After a few more minutes of talking, Galen managed to convince them, now Chad had a steel bib, a helmet, a left armband, as well as leg protection along with chain mail.
Uryu only had chain mail protections, only that he had them under his elegant suit.
Orihime had received the same as Uryu but was also awarded a medical kit, as well as head and armbands with a mint green cross to indicate that she was a doctor.
Ichigo received somewhat different equipment, reinforced steel scale armor, this was a single piece that started from the neck until shortly after the knees, although after the leather belt it looked like a steel skirt, his legs only had the common protections.
(For a clearer view search for "Byzantine Scale Armor")
After this everyone was assigned to a different cohort, Orihime with the medics in the middle, Uryu with the crossbows on the left-wing, Chad left together with Ichigo who was reunited with his training partners, apparently, they also received the scale armor, they would go in the vanguard.
And so Angelica's march began, the society of souls was heading to the last looting site of the Maledicti, they prepared the ground to obtain an advantage with which they would crush the Shinigami, Angelica's army seeks to quickly reunite the Shinigamis to lend your help.
To
Be
Continued.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, don't worry the next 2 will have enough action to make up for the lack of this one.
The next one will take a little longer because I want to think well about what the battle will be like, and I also believe that there is a historical battle from which I can draw inspiration.
Without further ado, see you in the next chapter.
