But at this moment, Lloyd's expression had already returned to normal.
"Radiation waves, Laksiata's specialty.」
[But…but, this…]
"I'm just saying that it's possible. Well, she's also a very difficult person to figure out ~"
Lloyd leisurely placed his hands behind his head.
At this moment, another voice sounded. [What happened?] Vermilion Bird poked his head out of Lancelot's cockpit and asked. It seemed that he had not opened the strategy dashboard.
Lloyd answered with a smile. "Ah ah, it's okay, it's okay. It has nothing to do with you. You can just wait.」
[Ha.] The Vermilion Bird tilted its head in confusion.
The sand was still sliding down.
" Tsk..." But she still regained her composure and quickly turned her head away.
Natural disaster, no, this was too much of a coincidence. It should be a man-made accident. If that was the case, what was he going to do next? There was no need to think. After losing the support of Alex's troops, the team was temporarily in a semi-isolated state. No, it was not just that. The team had also suffered quite a bit of damage, and the remaining soldiers and knights were greatly shaken.
If that was the case…
[New enemies have appeared at the top of the mountain!] The Carrius team had already advanced to meet them!」
[Humph, that's indeed the case.]
The other party wants to take advantage of the chaos to attack my team. In other words, is my ultimate target?
[Guilford!]
[Yes!]
" Retreat first. Infantry units will circle around from the side and rescue the wounded. Tanks, cover the infantry."
[Yes!] I'll execute it immediately."
"Team Knighthood is maintaining the front line while disrupting the enemy's offensive. There might be another landslide. Pay attention to your feet. Have you contacted Dalton yet?」
" I'm very sorry, I'm still..."
"Hurry up and confirm that he's not a man who will die so easily…No, I won't allow him to die.」Cornelia gritted her teeth.
At this moment, another contact was made. [Call from Team Carrius!] His tone was very urgent.
[What's wrong?]
[Enemies confirmed. The other party was not from the Japanese Liberation Front! It's very likely the Black Knights!"
[What? Then, this surprise attack…!"
[It's ZERO!!]
Was the man who suddenly activated the Knightmares shouting like that, Jeremy? Gotthbard.
He was once the ace pilot of the 11th District's ruling army, and after the death of the former governor, Clovis, he became the acting consul. His name was also known by the world, but now, he had become a man who had fallen because of ZERO and the Black Knights... It might be a bit too much to say that.
He had been humiliated by ZERO's scheme, and he was furious that he wanted to return it all to ZERO!
There was no doubt that his life was ruined by a theatre-type criminal named ZERO, turning him into a tragic clown.
Hence, his hatred towards ZERO was obvious.
"You came out just in time! ZERO!」
[Minister Jeremy! You can't leave without permission!" The other knights shouted to stop him, but he could no longer hear them.
[This is a very critical moment! If you want to make a name for yourself, follow me!」
He was standing in the center of a whirlpool of suspense, anger, and hatred.
Lelouch smiled and drove the Knight down the slope.
According to the news released after the war, about 5,200 Britani soldiers were injured in the war.
Whether this number was large or small depended entirely on the official explanation. However, judging from the facts, it was still too early to judge the defeat of the invincible Britania army.
It was better to say that neither side won this war.
Why?
Indeed, Lelouch's surprise attack had dealt a heavy blow to the Britanians who had always had an overwhelming advantage.
However, from the current situation, including the reserve army of the Britania Army, there were still about 90% of the troops left. Although Dalton's troops were directly hit by the landslide and had a damage rate of more than 80%, if the commander and the remaining troops who survived the disaster under the protection of the Knight armor were counted together, they could still be considered a relatively complete unit. Those troops that did not directly encounter the disaster were in a much better situation. (For personal reasons, he acted on his own? Gottebad and the others were wiped out by the Knightmares led by Lelouch, and as simple victims, they were not worth mentioning.）
Not to mention the Black Knights who participated in the battle midway, the Japanese Liberation Front, which was originally stationed in the Narita Mountains, had suffered a lot of losses in the battle with the Britanians. Through this battle, the strength of the Japanese Liberation Front rapidly declined, and people even worried about whether it would eventually collapse. Therefore, it was self-evident how heavy its losses were. In summary, the original intention of the Britania Army to " defeat the Japanese Liberation Front " was half achieved.
On the contrary, because of this, it was impossible to determine that the victor of the battle was the Britani Army. Although the news announced by Commander-in-Chief, Cornelia, and the others did not mention it, they all thought so in their hearts. Despite having an absolute advantage in terms of troops and weapons, the enemy had actually counterattacked so dramatically in the end. This so-called victory could not be acknowledged from the bottom of one's heart.
Then, comparing the strength of both sides, what about the Black Knights who had suffered the least losses?
Lelouch's plan had indeed dealt a heavy blow to the Britanians who thought highly of themselves.
However, the ultimate goal of Lelouch and the Black Knights was not to attack the Britani army, but to capture their commander, Cornelia.
Of course, this goal would soon be achieved---this was originally an easy task.
But when Lelouch reached out his hand, the 'enemy' blocked his way.
The mudslide that shook the earth finally stopped, but the battlefield became even more chaotic.
"Not good! If this continued, the governor's troops would be completely isolated!」
[Damn it, that big idiot, Jeremy! It was all because he had used the reserve team at the rear without permission, causing a gap to appear in the formation…!」
[Tell the troops on the opposite slope to quickly circle around! Go save the Governor!"
"What's up with the Knightmares that are pestering Guildford!？That was not the Black Knights! Where did the Japanese Liberation Front come from?」
As the staff officers continued to roar, Ufemia placed her hands on the dashboard, her shoulders trembling in anger.
He had to think of a way.
He had to think of a way. He had to think of a way.
If this went on, Sister would die…No, she couldn't think about this. No, he shouldn't be thinking about this now. He was the Deputy Commander and Deputy Governor, and he was responsible for all the officers and soldiers. This wasn't Royal Sister's responsibility alone. No, it wasn't like that. Royal Sister wasn't here anymore. Now, only he could think of a way for everyone and make a judgment!
[Deputy Governor Eufemia!]
One of the staff officers screamed.
" Get the entire G1 base to come forward as reinforcements and rescue the governor..."
[No!]
Ufemiya rejected him with a tone that was so emotional that she looked like she was about to cry.
" But, but if Lord Guildford and General Dalton are unable to move, then the governor's life..."
[No!] Yuffie emphasized again and kept shaking her head. Her long, bright-colored hair became messy and slapped her cheeks.
" There's also a field hospital here, and there are residents who have come from the surrounding areas to take refuge! "Moreover, G1 base itself is a symbol of the rear. No matter what happens…"
As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears.
He had to think for everyone!
However, this " everyone " did not include his sister, who was related to him by blood.
" No matter what happens, don't move. This is the governor's order..." She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. [So…So…]
At this moment.
The electronic sound vibrated the air.
Then, a small window appeared on the strategy dashboard. It reflected a bespectacled man in white, a woman in a sergeant uniform, and a young man in a pilot uniform.
[Ah?]
Ufemiya couldn't help but let out a soft cry. The man in front of her revealed a cheerful smile that didn't match the atmosphere at all, while the woman in the officer's uniform behind him had a troubled look on her face. Young man…
He was looking at her with an extremely serious gaze.
" Hello, everyone. This is the Special Delivery Guide Technology Department."
The man greeted him in a frivolous and even contemptuous tone, and all the staff officers present immediately cursed.
[Rude fellow!]
"Since you're joining the army, don't be so unruly.」
Hearing this, the woman's expression became even more troubled. However, it was obvious that they were not intimidated by the advisors.
" Ah, no, what you said does make sense..."
The man pulled the woman behind him and spoke first.
[I always have nothing to do.]
[Ah…]
At this moment, Ufemiya completely understood.
Then, the young man who had been silent until now opened his mouth.
" Deputy Governor Eufemia."
「……」
[Please give the order to the special agent!]
At this moment, the staff officers started to talk again.
[Hypocrite!]
"In the end, I still want to take credit for rescuing the governor.」
" If his machine could change the situation, it wouldn't take so much time. And it's just a mere Number…"
"No, no ~ So, why not let him try? It's like this anyway." And in the end, aren't you guys unable to do anything?」
[You…]
The man was still talking to the advisors, but Ufemia didn't care anymore.
[Ah? I'm listening ~"
[Enough is enough…]
The young girl only focused on the youth. No, it should be said that she was staring at the young man's glasses.
She recalled that time. Gentle, kind, but serious, with a sad look in his eyes.
Suddenly, the young man moved his lips. But he did not say anything. He only mouthed it.
(Ah…)
The girl understood.
(You…Faye?)
He felt more and more cowardly and cunning.
That was the third morning since he arrived at District 11. By the way, the former Deputy Governor had officially resigned the next day.
In other words, that day was his last rest day. Was it because he was Yuffie and not the Deputy Governor of District 11, Yufemiya? L? The last day of his Britania identity.
Therefore, some of them wanted to take risks.
He sneaked out of the Administrative Office and onto the street.
At that time, she met him for the first time.
Now that she thought about it, she still felt a little shy back then. Wasn't it? A princess who had snuck out of the city and was strolling on the streets with a girl she had met by chance? It was like a story in a movie.
However…
She was not as pure as the princess in the movies.
At that time, he had another purpose. To put it more clearly, he already knew the identity of the young man when he saw him. In other words, he was not a stranger. Because…he was quite famous in the 11th district.
At the height of the war between Japan and Britania, the last Prime Minister of Japan, Xuanwu Shuki, decided to surrender for the peace of the country and used suicide to warn those who clamored for complete resistance. He was the son of the Xuanwu, the Pinnacle Vermilion Bird.
He was very curious.
What was he thinking? What were their views on the current country, District 11?
Therefore, she did not reveal her identity as the princess and only called herself Yuffie.
This was not because he was afraid of being taken back if his identity was exposed. No, it was partly because of this, but in fact, it was because she wanted to see his true colors. If he knew that she was the princess of Britania, he would not have revealed his true feelings to her.
He was really cowardly and cunning.
However, thanks to this, he was able to see him clearly.
At that time, he was desperately trying to protect himself. Moreover, he was honest. He told her his thoughts.
Yuffie looked at the Vermilion Bird's eyes again. At that time, she might have been saved by his eyes.
Perhaps it was his gaze that helped him. In the end, he was so uneasy that he couldn't take it anymore. Deputy Governor of District 11. The heavy responsibility placed before him. It was a name that even made him want to escape.
Although he was different from him, he must be carrying a lot of things.
This was definitely true. Therefore, he encouraged himself to move forward.
Why did he come to District 11? Why was he standing here? Although it was only a little, she seemed to have begun to understand. She had not expressed her gratitude to him yet, but she was really grateful to him.
So, now…
[... I understand.] Ufemiya said quietly as if she had never wavered. At this moment, the chattering advisors around them immediately fell silent.
"Please, save the Governor, Warrant Officer Huoku.」
The young man's eyes lit up. [Yes!] I will definitely complete the mission." His expression was serious, but it still made people feel that he was still a child.
Glouchester waved his lightsaber, and Guilford barely blocked the enemy's sharp blade. With a clang, metal collided with metal, and sparks flew everywhere.
He used the counterforce of the blade to stab the other party's head, but the other party easily took a step back and easily avoided his attack.
He had some skills…but now was not the time to leisurely think about these things. He didn't want to admit it, but he was indeed at a disadvantage. Moreover, this Mech…
The enemy Guilford and his troops encountered did not seem to be the Black Knights. At the very least, the color of the Mech was different. He was not familiar with the Mech itself. The original model should be a rogue, and it should have been modified like Glass, but the appearance was different. Moreover, the speed and strength of the scoundrel and the Mech were vastly different. Judging from its basic performance, it should be comparable to Glouchester.
There were five enemy planes, and one of them was very eye-catching. It was the Knightmar that was currently fighting Guilford.
[Could it be!?] Gritting his teeth in anger, Guilford's previous thoughts kept echoing in his mind.
Was this guy the man called Teng Tang?!
Miracle Vine Hall. Seven years ago, he was the only Japanese samurai who was able to resist Britania's attack. He was also the leader of the Japanese Liberation Front…Katase's confidant.
But if this guy really was Teng Tang, then where had he been hiding all this time? Could it be that he had anticipated the Black Knights 'surprise attack from the beginning and found the right time to rush out? It was impossible.
[Lord Guilford!]
Suddenly, a message was sent through a secret code.
It was a female knight, and her name should be Veleta. She wasn't originally part of Governor Cornelia's direct troops, but a soldier under Prince Clovis, the former Governor of District 11.
Guilford's eyes widened as he listened to Villetta's report while fighting.
[You said ZERO's troops retreated?」
[Yes. "Next, I'll come and provide cover.」
Idiot!
Guilford endured the curse. Under such circumstances, how could ZERO retreat so easily? They couldn't even see through this and were still prepared to come here to support them. How ridiculous.
[What's important is ZERO's position! Send me the information!"
[Yes…Yes!]
The moment he saw the data, Guilford's face turned pale.
To be precise, Guilford was not dealing with Knightmares.
The knight Guilford's mission was to protect the governor, Cornelia, no matter how one looked at it. Although it was only temporary, he had indeed left Cornelia's side.
(The enemy is after me, Guilford.）
He recalled the conversation a few minutes ago.
(In that case, we'll beat him at his own game.) You will deal with them for a while, then retreat and gather at the ninth location.）
Of course, if they succeeded, they would be able to launch an ideal encirclement and annihilation battle in a local area. It was a valley with cliffs on both sides. If the enemy only cared about chasing after Cornelia, they could attack from both sides of the cliff and beat the enemy into a hornet's nest.
Of course, it was impossible to say that he was not afraid. It would be ideal if he could succeed, but it was a risky move that required bait. And that bait, whether it was for Guilford or the entire Britania army, was the symbol of victory for the Governor, Cornelia herself. He had wanted to stop her, but in the end, he could not say it. Because she had already experienced countless battles and survived. She had also brought countless victories.
However, the current situation was…
(ZERO saw through me!)
At the thought of this, Guilford shouted a name into the communicator.
[Her Highness, Cornelia!]
"... I can hear you, Guilford.」
said Cornelia in a self-deprecating tone. Her Glouchester was standing alone in the middle of the valley.
However, this place that was originally used to lure the enemy had already been taken by someone else.
There were two mechs, one was Rascal, and the other was a dark red mech, Knightmar, which she had never seen before.
(I'm getting old, and my judgment is not good enough... maybe I can say that in this situation.)）With this thought in mind, Cornelia clenched the control stick in her hand.
After the energy refill was installed, the huge white body suddenly came to life.
[Guide weapon Z-01, Lancelot, activate now.] Lancelot, activate now.」Cecil's voice sounded from inside the tractor. Then, the workers began to check the status one after another.
[Device Z-01 login confirmed. Confirm individual identification information. Complete mechanical connection confirmed." Walking into the giant's body, the cloth covering it slowly slid down.
[Yggdrasill resonance confirmed.] Rejection, weak. The pressure response of the device was weak. Everything is within the acceptable range."
[Self-assessment of the aircraft has ended. Status?] Good. Tactical reserve stored, status confirmed. Re-confirmation complete." He held the control stick and entered the relevant password on the control panel.
Poison Anchor. The ignition device was activated. Thruster, engine running well at low speed, connected to Sandborad. Armament assembly, system? Good. External weapon assembly, activate."
Following that, Cecil changed to transmitting the battle objective. "Guide Weapon Z-01, Lancelot, use the Sandboard and ascend the liquid slope at maximum speed to rescue the Governor.」
「Yes,mylord。」The Vermilion Bird replied quietly. At this moment, Lloyd interrupted.
[Vermilion Bird ~ I have a question.]
[Yes, please.]
"It's nothing ~ It's not a big deal.」Lloyd's tone was still as calm as ever.
" You are extremely unwilling to see anyone die, yet you joined the army. Why?"
This question might very well shake the young man's will, but... the Vermilion Bird's expression did not change at all. "Because I don't want them to die, I'm in the army.」
On the communication screen, Lloyd let out an exaggerated "Ohoho ~" sound.
Then, he said excitedly. [This conflict ~ I'll kill you one day…Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…!]」
In the end, Cecil seemed to be saying," Ignorant of the times, this idiotic scientist " as he grabbed the collar of Lloyd's shirt and dragged him along. Lloyd let out a sorrowful cry.
At this point, the communication screen was interrupted.
Vermilion Bird blinked. Then, although he felt that it might be the same whether he said it or not, he still spoke into the communicator. Lancelot, move out.」
To be honest…
He didn't know why Cecil was so angry. Was it wrong? Although what Lloyd said wasn't correct, it wasn't entirely wrong either.
Will conflict kill me…?
That was not right.
Of course, soldiers would die.
His life did not exist for himself, but for others, to protect others. This was not contradictory. That incident had already taken his life.
Therefore, he did not understand why she was angry. Death was a matter of course here.
The Vermilion Bird decided not to think about this confusing matter.
…He had been like this since a long time ago.
Lancelot flew out of the tractor like a cannonball and flew toward the slope where the mudslide had just stopped and was filled with dust.
Of course, people would die.
In the cockpit of the Scoundrel, ZERO mocked and muttered to herself. He had already destroyed countless Knightmares. Those people had no chance of escaping the cockpit.
Many Britani soldiers had died in this war. The soldiers of the Japanese Liberation Front were also dead. The members of the Black Knights were the same.
Tired of mourning death. But don't get me wrong, real mourning is to make good use of people's deaths. If the blood that flowed out could bring about a glorious result, then the people's deaths would not be in vain. This was the meaning of the existence of the so-called king, the ruler. Humans were born without permission and died without permission. The person who could integrate life and death into something meaningful was a well-deserved " king."
As long as anyone stood in his way, Lelouch would not hesitate to take away anyone's life.
He was not afraid of bleeding.
Yes, it was.
Even if it was the blood of his half-sister, the person he once loved the most, Cornelia... However, he had to let Cornelia live because it was necessary.
He had to get some answers from her, and he was even willing to use Geass for that. That was the information that Clovis had spat out before he died.
Lelouch. He wanted to find out where Shinezel was from Cornelia. That man knew the cause of her mother's death…
I'm afraid that Cornelia knows about this…
Lelouch opened up the communication channel and called out to Glouchester, who was facing off with Red Lotus II.
"Can you hear me, Cornelia? It's already been checked."
[ZERO!]
" Ahh!" He nodded in response.
"Meeting again after invading the palace is worth celebrating. But before that, surrender to us. Oh right, the reinforcements won't be able to come and save you in time.」
At this moment, Lelouch smiled.
[I won, Cornelia.]
In Glouchester, Cornelia laughed. [Stupid, ZERO.]
The red Knight standing in front of her said to the princess in disdain. " Your overconfidence has already caused you to suffer, yet you still don't know how to repent. I've really been underestimated."
[Oh?]
"You want to force me to a dead end. As long as I defeat you…!" In an instant, the hand holding the control stick moved.
In response, the propeller on Glouchester's foot let out a low hum. Knightmar flew high into the air and instantly shortened the distance between him and the enemy. The sword of light stabbed towards the other party.
But in an instant, the enemy's red figure suddenly disappeared from the screen.
So fast!
But she did not waver. She immediately changed her posture to avoid the enemy's outstretched arm. Retreating backward, he also shot out Poison Anchor from his chest. However, it was inconceivable that the enemy mecha had caught the attack with its hands and dragged itself along the metal wire.
[Humph! It's really good!"
However, this was a fatal mistake. Unable to resist the opponent's strength, Glouchester jumped up from the ground and slammed into the opponent, his lightsaber in front of him.
He had succeeded!
However, just as she was thinking this…
A sudden chill ran down her spine.
This was not an illusion. He had been on the battlefield for many years, and he had the intuition of a warrior.
These things gathered together to warn her.
[Wha…!]
The blade was caught by the red knight with his right hand. Its silver claws emitted an ominous aura like a hungry beast.
Suddenly, the monitor was covered by a flash of light.
Cornelia decisively raised the control stick, forcefully cut off Glouchester's right arm, and jumped backward again. This was undoubtedly the correct judgment. It wasn't just the light sword that was blocked, but the arm that was holding the sword as well. The arm that had been separated from her instantly exploded. If it was still connected, the Mech would definitely be blown up.
[What is that weapon…]
Could it be a directional mine? No, this explosion was too intense. It expanded and exploded from the inside, as if a violent heat was instantly generated inside the arm. Moreover, the enemy's claws did not hold anything like a landmine.
The wariness of the unknown weapon caused her to pause for a moment.
But this time, it turned out to be her fatal mistake.
Sensing the threat behind them, Glouchester's detector sounded an alarm. Then, the cannonball accurately hit Cornelia's Glouchester, leaving a hole in her left arm.
[Oh!]
Although she knew that it was meaningless, she could not help but reprimand him loudly. [Despicable! He used his own people as shields, and in the end, he sneakily attacked from behind!」
[Oh. So, have you never used any despicable tactics?」ZERO's loathsome and superior voice came from the communicator.
Cornelia bit her lip. The left arm that had been hit would occasionally produce sparks, and the main processor of the body instructed that it must be forcibly separated.
Slowly, she raised the control stick again. The situation continued to worsen.
Normally, Guilford would have found it very amusing. He was not the kind of person who would avoid fighting. He had a knight's heart that was very compatible with his duties. The enemy's strength was worthy of his respect. To be able to meet such an opponent, he should be grateful instead.
However, the current situation did not allow him to have the leisure to do so.
[Bastard, don't get in the way!] If it was just a retreat, he could do it at any time.
But that was meaningless. The master he was loyal to was currently in the middle of the enemy's formation. If he did not break through the enemy's defense line, he would not be able to reach there.
The five Knightmares that looked similar to the scoundrels continued to shuttle around the area. They attacked continuously in a group. Without a doubt, they were a group of well-trained warriors. Guilford could not escape from the encirclement no matter what.
"Sigh! If this continues, Your Highness will…"
At this moment.
The red mark on the communication dashboard lit up, indicating that there was a message.
It was the voice of the woman he was most worried about.
"... Guilford... my knight Guilford.」
[Your Highness!]
[Guilford…]
After uttering the name again, Cornelia sighed slightly in Glouchester, where she had lost both her arms.
His tone was very calm.
"By the oath of your sword, Cornelia? Li? Britania ordered. My knight Guilford, I hope you and Dalton will assist Yuffie.」
「! Your Highness!"
" I... won't allow you to surrender."
It wasn't like that.
A certain part of his body was saying this.
In his mind, the image of the young girl with a tender smile appeared. More important than anyone else…was his younger brother and sister who were still alive. Hey, Lelouch, I'm sorry. I still can't even see you for the last time.
She did not want to see her cry.
This was the first time she had such thoughts on the battlefield. Because of this, Cornelia shook her head gently, as if she wanted to wave away this longing.
Then, she looked at the almost unharmed Knight on the screen.
"As the princess…as the one who inherited the noble blood of Britania, I will fight to the end!」With his remaining legs, Glouchester rushed towards the red Knightmares.
She could hear Guilford's heart-wrenching voice from afar.
Lelouch, who was sitting among the scoundrels, sneered as he looked at Glouchester, who had launched a suicidal attack in despair.
he said unhappily.
" What a boring choice…" In fact, he did not like the current situation.
If it was Kallen and Red Lotus II, they should be able to suppress it, leaving only the cockpit with the pilot.
But if that was the case, once the Mech could not move, she would definitely shoot herself in the head.
Lelouch switched the communication mode to stealth mode and began to talk to Red Lotus II. [Kallen, show mercy.]
[Ah? But…"
" The goal is to capture Cornelia. If she gives up on herself and finally kills herself, it will be troublesome. I'll try to convince her."
[Yes…Yes!]
Instead, Red Lotus gently avoided Glouchester and pulled away from it.
That's right, he had to at least let her enter the range of his Geass ability.
Because he had to ask her about his mother.
However, this bond became Lelouch's greatest failure in this battle.
Suddenly, a loud boom resounded across the battlefield.
[What?]
Even Lelouch, no, even Cornelia, Kallen who was piloting the Red Lotus II, and Guilford who was far away exclaimed.
Then, the White Knight fired a powerful shot that pierced through the entire valley from the side. The scattered sand flew in the air, and the damaged earth opened up a path for the knights.
Like a shooting star, the figure held the gun that had just been fired and quickly approached the battlefield.
Of course, compared to the mudslide caused by the Black Knights, this was like the splash of a water gun. But even so, it was still effective. The White Knight used a tough and unexpected method to control the area.
[Wow…]
Cecil, who was observing the battle situation through the strategic dashboard on the special mission's leading tractor, helplessly sighed to himself. [It's still the same mess ~ I actually used Varis to mess around and clear the obstacles in front of me.]」
On the other hand, the slightly pale Lloyd laughed happily.
The white knight leaped high into the air and descended to the bottom of the valley. This series of actions. In the eyes of those who had nothing to do with this war, they would definitely think that it was very " beautiful." For example, the movement that seemed to grow wings in an instant: For example, when it landed on the ground, when it protected the broken Glouchester behind it like a knight protecting a noble lady, and when it landed on the ground like a knight protecting a noble lady. Another example was how he raised his right arm and blocked the enemy's bullet with his shield.
One of the most ideal knightmares was here. Don't send the guide technical department to try to produce the guide weapon Z-01, Lancelot!
"Governor! Are you alright? I'm here to rescue you.」
Inside Glouchester, Cornelia was stunned, but she immediately recovered.
"Special mission? But there was no doubt that he had saved his life. No matter who he was, he had to acknowledge him. In fact, there were many Britanian knights who thought the same.
However, to the other party, this was a troublemaker who had descended from the sky-and it was obviously a terrifying and troublesome enemy.
[Hey, that Knight…]
" Ah, ah, it has also appeared in Shinjuku and Haikou..." Lelouch gritted his teeth as he listened to his subordinates 'fearful exclamations through the radio.
[I didn't expect it to be this guy again...]
It was impossible for Lelouch to forget. The white knight had messed up his plans several times.
Initially, it was the Shinjuku Incident.
That was because they were only one step away from wiping out the Britani army, but if they were not careful, their own people would be wiped out.
It was the same with the incident at Haikou. Although they had achieved their goal that time, the entire battle had almost failed because of this guy's trouble underground.
With just one ride, he could completely overturn his meticulous battle plans and tactics. This sounded unbelievable.
Of course, regarding this battle, it wasn't that Lelouch didn't consider this white Knight. Strangely enough, the Knight Mare did not participate in the regular military operations of the Britani army. Such a powerful Knightmar, if it was him, he would definitely make use of it. But why didn't Cornelia and the former governor, Clovis, use it? Therefore, Lelouch treated it as an uncertain factor and did not pay too much attention to it.
But he was wrong.
Although he did not know who the pilot was, the pilot's ability was at least above that of Cornelia and Dalton. Moreover, the performance of its body was also very strong. At least, Rascal was not its match.
If that was the case…
[Red Lotus Second Style: Destroy White Helmet!] The breakthrough power of this thing was very troublesome! I'll go deal with Cornelia!"
They could only use the strongest weapons here to deal with the enemy's strongest weapons.
[Yes!] Kallen immediately replied and charged towards the white knight.
The Knight that was charging at him was unfamiliar. But now was not the time to care about this. The Vermilion Bird gripped the control stick tightly. In an instant, its entire body trembled violently.
In fact, this was the characteristic of the Knight. His body had been electrocuted-no, it seemed to be a burden on his nerves. However, it was said that the pilots of the other Britanians, such as Douglas and Sutherland, had never encountered such a phenomenon. When the Vermilion Bird went to ask, the main developer, Lloyd, answered with a strange smile, resonating with him. Unfortunately, he did not understand at all.
However, its performance was top-notch.
Very impressive.
Yes, if one had to say what was the most powerful about it…
That was, it reacted in sync with his own.
Before meeting Lancelot, Rosefinch was not the pilot of Knightmar, but he had learned how to operate it through imaginary training. That was the experience he had when he participated in the military experiment. That was the first time he controlled Knightmares, even though it was just a hypothesis.
He felt that…his reaction was slow.
He felt that it was nothing much.
Until then, the Knight that Vermilion Bird had drawn in her mind was practically a human clone, a machine that could perfectly reproduce the movements of a human body. However, contrary to his wishes, the Knight in the imaginary experiment could not move according to his wishes.
"How is it? This is the pride of our Britania army, the new Sutherland. You people from District 11 can't control it at all.」
Wait a minute, the Britania commander said in a half-boastful and half-contemptuous tone. However, in Vermilion Bird's eyes, it was all because of the machine. The reaction time to identify and aim at the target was too slow. It was clearly controlled with precision in millimeters, but the gears in the driving part could not keep up at all. The most important thing was that the movement performance of the posture control system was too poor. In the end, that thing did not move according to his intentions. In the end, the Vermilion Bird could only cooperate with the machine and pretend to be stupid.
Lancelot was completely different.
Of course, it wasn't perfect, but its reaction rate was quite good. It blended in with the Vermilion Bird's movements. This should be called a clone.
The red Knight rushed over.
Vermilion Bird controlled Lancelot's body to slide to the side and kicked him from the side. There was also a surfboard-shaped Sandboard on his feet.
Of course, he didn't think that the battle would end so easily, but he didn't expect that this attack would be perfectly blocked. It was a silver claw that was curved into a wonderful arc…and a ball of light surged out from its center.
" Ah..." At this time, the Vermilion Bird finally showed a nervous expression. However, the Sandboard had already been removed from his legs when they collided. Soon after.
The Sandboard in the opponent's claw began to expand from the inside and explode. What was that weapon?
The same question appeared in his mind. But unlike Cornelia, he did not stop there. Vermilion Bird's Reversed Impact Cannon, or Varis, was fired at the red Knightmares from behind. However, the energy had been reduced to the minimum, and it was in the convergence mode. It was different from the great power that pierced through the valley before, because there was no need.
After that…
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird was truly shocked.
He thought he would hit it.
Even from the timing, it should be foolproof.
However, the first shot from the muzzle of Varis was easily dodged. The second and third shots missed the enemy without exception. They could not hit the target that was moving left and right.
[How is this possible…!] He couldn't help but exclaim. [Speed comparable to Lancelot!]？」The red knight sped up and approached him.
"Ha ~ It's quite powerful, the enemy's new Mech.」The one who sighed was Lloyd, who was watching the video of Lancelot's death. However, the only person who would make such an exaggerated reaction was Lloyd.
Cecil, who was beside him, widened his eyes and said in disbelief. [Could it be…the enemy also has the YggdrasillSystem?」
" Well, about that…" Lloyd's expression remained unchanged.
"There are some differences in the analysis of the individual movements, but we can't be sure that the other party didn't. It could only be said that the direction of the design was a little different... Judging from the radiation waves on its arm, it should be Laksiata.」
[Now you actually have the time to analyze it!]」Cecil glared fiercely at Lloyd. [Open communication! Help the Vermillion Bird…"
Lloyd frowned. [I don't think it's necessary ~]
[But…!]
[It's fine, it's fine. You won't lose at this level, Vermilion Bird and my Lancelot.]」
These words finally made Cecil, who was about to operate the touch pad, stop what he was doing. She turned around in surprise. [You're very confident.]
"Is that so? But as I said before, he's the best part. Otherwise, the chances of using him to obtain battle data are very rare. Why would I choose him?」
[Ha…]
"However, to be precise, it should be a component that is close to the best component.」
As soon as he finished speaking, for some reason, Lloyd suddenly said regretfully. "If only there wasn't that... I wanted to improve it before, but you messed it up before the launch ~"
[What?] Under the strange resentful gaze, Cecil was stunned.
However, not far away, Lelouch was driving the Rascal and fighting with all his might with Corelia. Corelia's driving skills made Lelouch look at her with approval. However, he did not show mercy. Instead, his attacks became more and more fierce! Because one of his arms had just been shot by Lelouch, he had only fought with him for a few minutes before it was already crippled...
Lelouch switched the communication channel to the secret channel and sent an invitation to Cornelia. Seeing the call request pop up on the screen, Cornelia snorted coldly and accepted it.
"Cornelia, you'd better surrender.」Lelouch said with a smile.
[Impossible!]
[Do you want to see them die?」Lelouch threatened.
[If I catch you, then I'm not afraid that the Black Knights won't trade them for you, right?!」Cornelia sneered. Obviously, she was disdainful of ZERO's despicable behavior.
[Hmph, I knew you would say that. Since that's the case, don't blame me!」Lelouch began to play to his original level. Even though the Rogue Mech was far inferior to Corelia's Mech, he attacked and defended at the same time, leaving Corelia no chance to attack him at all.
(I didn't expect this man to be so powerful. He could beat me up with that second-hand Mech!) Such an opponent, if that's the case, then I'll enjoy this battle!）Cornelia's competitive spirit was completely aroused, and she enjoyed the fun of the battle.
Just as Cornelia was about to throw her fist, Lulu dodged to the side and was cut off by the scoundrel's weapon that looked like a hidden sword. Then, he kicked it away.
Just as she was about to stand up and fight again, the Mech ran out of energy and could not continue fighting. Cornelia looked at the energy meter, which was already at 0%, and then looked at Lancelot, who was being suppressed in the distance. She sighed helplessly and unwillingly…
[It seems that there isn't enough energy?] Lelouch chuckled.
There was the sound of gas leaking, and the cockpit of Cornelia's plane was opened. Cornelia walked out from inside. She was wearing a purple military uniform, with long purple curly hair, and her unyielding lilac eyes. To be honest, after so many years, I couldn't help but feel my heart throb when I saw her again. Compared to you, who was still a young girl, you are more mature and beautiful.
Rascal opened the cockpit as well, and Lelouch slowly walked out. Cornelia also walked to the middle, and the two of them met each other. " You lost, Cornelia." Lelouch said indifferently.
[Humph.] Cornelia turned her head disdainfully. However, he suddenly charged at Lelouch and engaged in close combat with him!
Lelouch used both his hands and feet to fight with Corelia."Still not admitting defeat? But forget it…I knew you wouldn't surrender so easily.」
[Surrender is not in my dictionary!」Cornelia raised her leg high and kicked up and down. Lelouch's arm was numb from the shock of blocking. Corelia took the opportunity to pull out the spear and sword, slashing horizontally at Lelouch's neck. A shadow of Lelouch appeared beside Corelia.
So fast! Such explosive power? Cornelia had never seen a human being able to move at such a speed!
Two hidden swords popped out from his hands. The hidden swords in his sleeves could pop out from the back of his hands and wrists. This was because he had asked an Israel weaponsmith to design these two hidden swords for the convenience of combat.
Lelouch dodged Cornelia's attacks and kept attacking her with his hidden blade, but it was only to scare her and not to kill her. Even Cornelia was puzzled as to why she would have been a dead man by now if he had wanted to kill her. But why didn't he? Did he want to let her know how big the gap between them was?
Taking advantage of the moment when Corelia was distracted, Lelouch knocked down her weapon. Cornelia stood at the end of the valley. There was a slope of about 60 degrees on the cliff face, and below it was a small stream. She did not know how deep it was.
[Surrender.] A cold voice came from the loudspeaker of the mask. Cornelia ignored him and looked at him indignantly, then at the stream below.
Lelouch saw that she did not speak and stepped forward. However, at this moment, Vermilion Bird's MVS cannon accidentally hit the soil under her feet, and the soil suddenly loosened! Because she did not have a good sense of stability, she rolled down the slope from the cliff!
Oh no!
Lelouch quickly ran towards Corelia and reached out his hand. However, when he was about to grab her hand, Corelia saw that it was ZERO who reached out to pull her hand.
Rather than letting him be captured, I would rather die!
She ignored him and retracted her hand! He fell backwards…
[Are you an idiot?!] Lelouch cursed angrily! He did not hesitate at all. That's right, he did not think at all. Lelouch and Cornelia rolled down the slope of the cliff together. Lelouch held onto Cornelia tightly and pressed her head into his arms, otherwise she would be hurt. But what about Lelouch himself? Because he was protecting Cornelia, he suffered most of the damage. He gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
Corelia wanted to struggle, but Lelouch held her down so tightly that she almost could not breathe. She had never been in close contact with a man other than Lelouch. Now, she was actually being hugged by such a man?!
The two of them rolled for about three minutes before they reached the flat ground. Both of them passed out. Two minutes later, the unharmed Cornelia woke up first. She propped herself up from Lelouch's chest and jumped away when she saw that she was actually pressing on the man.
Seeing that he was still unconscious, she took this opportunity to see what his true colors were!）Corelia walked to Lelouch's side and reached out to take off his mask. Realizing that someone seemed to be pushing him, Lelouch immediately opened his eyes. After a moment of dizziness, Lelouch saw that it was Cynthia who was trying to take off his mask!
He quickly pushed off Cornelia's hand and stood up. A piercing pain came from his back! He almost fainted again! He was swaying and could not stand steadily at all.
Seeing that he was injured, Corelia added another blow. She kicked Lelouch's head with a whip kick, sending his mask flying!
Lelouch's long bangs fluttered in the wind. He stood there and looked at Cornelia. His purple eyes looked at her calmly. On his forehead, red blood flowed down his nose. The mask fell to the side not far away.
However, after she steadied herself, she looked at the young man in front of her whose forehead was bleeding red. He was clutching his chest as if he was about to collapse! It was as if the air around her had been sucked dry, and she almost fainted! She took a deep breath…His face was completely overlapping with his childhood face. The more she looked at him, the more he resembled his beautiful mother. They were practically carved from the same mold! However, he was different from when he was young. He did not have a gentle, innocent, and cute smile. Instead, he was expressionless now, and his entire body was emitting an aura of hatred.
Corelia bit her lips hard. She finally could not hold back her tears, but she immediately covered her mouth to prevent the sound from reaching his ears. She tried her best to restrain herself. However, she couldn't control herself. Tears rolled down her face and her hands that were covering her mouth.
Lelouch looked at her with an extremely calm gaze. He covered the side of his chest that was injured when he rolled down the slope. It was very likely that he had broken his ribs. He adjusted his expression and tried to calm down. Blood dyed his face and eyes red. The cloak fell to the side…
She smiled coldly, trying hard not to have a trace of emotion. She smiled cruelly and said,"Dear and beautiful royal sister, I'm back." In order to take revenge on Britania, I crawled out of the endless abyss of hell.」
However, what about his heart? When I saw you crying like this, my heart felt as if it had been taken out of my chest!
