The massacre in Kyoto City lasted five days, and during these five days, the city was almost shrouded in a mist of blood.

Related news began circulating online very early, after all, in modern times everyone has a smartphone, and with a quick snap it can be uploaded to the web. It is almost impossible to block all channels and conceal such a large-scale massacre.

The international community naturally condemned the massacre in Kyoto City unanimously. On this point, everyone is in agreement, even the Jieke Group themselves stepped out to denounce the Imperial Army's reckless actions, lightly defining the events in Kyoto City as an Imperial Army riot, unrelated to the law-abiding Jieke Group itself.

Five days later, war correspondents from all over the world, who had been kept out, were finally allowed into Kyoto City.

Here, they witnessed a scene unforgettable for a lifetime.

Corpses piled up like mountains in the city were pushed into dug-out pits, doused in gasoline, and set ablaze. The stench of burning corpses was detectable even ten miles away.

The ruins were almost everywhere in the city, along with a large number of bodies that had yet to be burned or buried. With no one to handle them, flies buzzed around, and maggots crawled across the decomposing flesh.

Some inexperienced war journalists vomited up their previous night's meal upon witnessing this scene.

Even those who had been to many battlefields and had witnessed numerous wars with rich experience felt their scalps tingle and stomachs churn as the scene before them was too bloody and tragic.

Nobody had ever seen so many bodies; this massacre was a completely inhumane act. Walking here felt like walking in Hell; what they saw and heard made their hearts clench and race.

Upon seeing the Imperial Army with expressions either indifferent, ferocious, or cruel on their faces, their hearts were filled with terror, fearing being mistaken for lambs by these brutal soldiers and killed like the civilians in Kyoto City.

Fortunately, their fears were unfounded. Although these Imperial Army soldiers were brutal, they were not without restraint. With the management of the Jieke Group, they did not dare point their guns at the war correspondents dispatched by various countries because the Jieke Group was even more ruthless than they were.

The Imperial Army soldiers who did not adhere to the rules of the Jieke Group had already been singled out and shot by the Jieke Group. In times of war, the Jieke Group even bombed them along with their Imperial Army and Self-defense Team, not treating them as humans.

Therefore, these Imperial Army soldiers understood clearly whom they could mess with and whom they had to obediently obey.

Under the stern orders of the Jieke Group, the war journalists could capture the horrific state within Kyoto City.

In the lens of these journalists, the city was filled with looted shops and building complexes that had been set on fire.

This cultural ancient capital, illustrious in Japan's history, was now nearly deserted, with incomplete statistics suggesting civilian deaths reaching into the millions.

But when this news reached the outside world, there was an uproar across the globe.

The world knew there was a massacre in Kyoto City, but they never imagined it was this severe, exceeding many people's expectations. Just seeing the numbers defining the dead and missing was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Involuntarily, the evil reputation of the Imperial Army spread across Japan, with Araki Kenichi, who commanded them, becoming a Great Demon who made children stop crying, with fearful infamy.

However, although Araki Kenichi's reputation in Japan became detestable, he gained favor with the Jieke Group due to his exceptional performance in Kyoto City. His status was elevated from an advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army.

Not disappointing expectations, having been granted authority by the Jieke Group, Araki Kenichi seemed to completely forget his origins, becoming the most vicious dog under the Jieke Group's rule, showing no mercy while massacring his compatriots, using the corpses of Japanese individuals as steps to climb higher.

After the occupation of Kyoto City, the massacre spread throughout the world, with other cities terrified of the Imperial Army's lack of humanity.

In the time following, cities such as Nara, Kobe, Hyogo, Kagawa, and Tokushima fell one by one under the military might of the Jieke Group.

The Jieke Group practically only needed to participate in simple sieges, and although Japan had frantically recruited soldiers, increasing their Army numbers to nearly a million during this period, their actual combat capability was predictable.

Facing the Jieke Group's Tiger and Wolf Army that had swept through Southeast Asia, even the Beautiful Country dared not directly confront them, let alone the hastily recruited Japanese conscripts grabbed from the streets.

The Jieke Group soldiers didn't even need to take action; the Imperial Army fought fiercely in the cities, and many of these soldiers were actually conscripts forcibly drafted from Japan. When faced with the Jieke Group's Tiger and Wolf Army, they utterly collapsed.

However, once their status changed to the Imperial Army under the Jieke Group and began serving the Jieke Group's Imperial Army, each of them immediately became spirited and aggressive, showcasing two different faces when fighting, slaughtering their compatriots without hesitation.

Perhaps their innermost nature was unleashed, they behaved like Japan's army during the Shōwa Era, like beasts let loose from cages. The mentality of casually dictating life and death, plundering wealth for overnight riches gradually turned them into the purest evil demon army, falling in love with the feeling of conquering cities and plundering freely.
