jokingly,.

The people who participate in the Black Knights are nothing more than three categories.

Someone who really wants to rebel against the rule of Bonetania. A speculator who is depressed and wants to ascend to the throne with the help of the Black Knights. The last category is those who have joined the resistance but do not have a firm stance on their own, but simply conform to the herd.

War between human beings is more of a continuation of politics and one of the means to achieve an end. Although they may not be able to see this clearly, or they may be deliberately not informed, this does not prevent them from understanding.

Although it is only a special administrative area of Japan, it is not a re-** of Japan in their minds.

But in essence, to restore and recognize the identity of the Japanese, to give the Japanese autonomy within the SAR. Although they were not allowed to have an army, they were allowed to have police composed of the Japanese themselves. Because it was an autonomous region that Yuphimia had obtained in exchange for the right to inherit the throne, she did not have to pay taxes to the empire and enjoyed the right to fair trade.

Freedom and equality.

Regardless of the size of the SAR site, everything they expect will be achieved.

In fact, in the entire Black Knights, with no air force, no heavy weapons, only light weapons and a pitiful old Knightmare, they are fighting in the face of a super empire that occupies more than a third of the world, almost with a blank view of the future.

The forced battle is hopeless, and the most terrible thing is that there is no end in sight. Even though there is Zero now, there is still skepticism in everyone's minds.

And now that this endless darkness has finally seen a glimmer of light, the wavering in everyone's hearts can be imagined. Therefore, no one wants to continue the war except for those who are hard-hearted and the empire is undying. Not to mention the fact that there is a princess of the imperial royal family to make a guarantee. And compare it to that. Zero, who has been hiding his identity with a disguise, has always made ordinary members suspicious.

This is true of the ordinary members of the Black Knights, even the upper echelons.

"Can't you follow Euphemia's proposal and join the Black Knights?" As a fan who is a representative of the herd and genre, he must speak first.

"But are Bunitania's assurances credible?"

This issue can be said to be of greatest concern to everyone.

It's okay for ordinary people to say, but Zero is the one who killed the Imperial Family, the Empire's number one public enemy. And Zero's happy companions, the Black Knights, are naturally also the executioners who have killed countless emperors.

With such a deep hatred, can it really be written off like this?

"If you join the special administrative zone, you will be disarmed." Chiba Nagisa, the only woman in the Four Holy Swords of the former Japanese Liberation Front, said in a mocking tone.

The Black Knights, who have lost their force, are lambs to the slaughter, and they are delivered to the door.

"But if you don't participate, you will become an enemy against freedom and equality...."Diethardt is also quite troubled by this situation, because the reality is that there are already people among the members of the Black Knights who have decided to join the Special Zone, although only individually, but this already means that the foundation of the organization is beginning to be unstable.

"It seems that Kyoto has made a very unfavorable choice for you!" The sudden sound at the door startled everyone in the room.

"Are you!? I think you're supposed to be a guard next to Kagura-sama! ”

Fan Yao, who had been in contact with the head of Kyoto with Zero, recognized the person at a glance.

"Ito Yakumo." The cold-faced man introduced himself.

"What's the disadvantage?"

"Kyoto has decided to accept an invitation to join the Special Administrative Region."

"How so!?"

"These mercenary bastards!"

Intermittent scolding rang out in the room.

Kyoto, the largest supporter of the organization and the provider of the Black Knights' network resources and funds, can also be said to be the largest opportunist. Although the opportunists were disgusting, the Black Knights could not live without the support of this group of opportunists.

Scanning the room, Ito Yakumo, who found that Zero was not there, groaned slightly before speaking.

"Actually, when Yufemia's special administrative zone bill was passed, Kyoto had already been notified by the Imperial side. Because of their close ties to the Sakuraishi mining industry, the old men were guaranteed the status they could..."

"So, what do you mean?" Yagami Yagami, who had not spoken in the room, suddenly raised his head and stared at Ito Yakumo with a deep gaze.

"Do you want the Black Knights to fight the Empire in order to satisfy your selfish desires?"

"Do you still have a choice?" Ito Yakumo sneered.

"What do you mean!?"

Everyone reflexively makes vigilant movements.

"Don't you get it yet?" Opening the door, Ito Yakumo, who turned around and wanted to leave, stopped his steps slightly.

"The Black Knights have been abandoned..... By Kyoto.... If you don't do something, the next thing will be the people..."

'Click'

The sound of the door closing made everyone in the room tremble at the same time.

"What the hell is Zero doing now?" Fujido Kagamishiro couldn't help but ask.

"Say let's wait," Fan replied.

"Wait?"

"Well, it's because the people seem eager, but most of them are still waiting."

"Wait and see..."Fujido Kagamiro touched his chin and pondered.

"I see!"

In this 11th district, where resistance was fierce, the empire suddenly proposed to establish a special administrative zone in Japan, and the people certainly did not believe it immediately.

The establishment of the SAR does not mean that it will be established immediately, and the preparatory work will take considerable time. Wait-and-see is the most natural choice for the people, and if there is any suspicion of deliberate delay in the Empire's actions, it will be seen as a sign of insincerity.

The slower the Empire is built, the better it will be for the Black Knights.

"It's ironic."

Lelouche, who was sitting on the side of Nevar's motorcycle, sneered as he watched the news about the special administrative zone played by the huge LED on the side of the road.

"Sarcasm what?" Neval glanced at Lelouch for some reason.

"Of course, it is the establishment of Japan's special administrative districts." Lelouch propped his chin in one hand and tried to make his expression look normal.

"Why?"

"Nevar, what do you think is the reason for the establishment of the Japanese Special Administrative Region by the Empire?"

Instead of answering directly, he asked Nevar.

"Why? Of course, it's the grace of His Royal Highness Yuphimia, and the sympathy for the people of District 11, of course, there is also the relationship of Suzaku! At the end of the sentence, Nevar smiled in the understanding of any man.

"Heh....." Lu Luxiu echoed with a shallow laugh.

"That's the general Bunitanean opinion! But what will people in other colonies think about this? ”

Before Nevar could speak, Lelouch gave the answer himself.

"The Empire has retreated to the Resistance in Area 11...."

"How so?" As a Bunitanian, Nevar certainly wouldn't believe that.

"Everyone is in a different position and environment, and they look at things from a different perspective. The other colonial resistance groups far from Area 11 are unaware of what is happening here and do not want to know what is actually happening here. In their opinion, this is the result of Zero leading the Black Knights to severely damage the empire several times, and even the imperial family of the empire was killed. With this argument in place, it will make them even more frantic in launching terrorist attacks, because the example of Area 11 is in front of them. ”

"Therefore, all the countries of the world are bound by the norm of never giving in to terrorists. No matter how extenuating the other party's behavior is, no matter how sympathetic it is, it is not allowed. ”

"Listening to you say this, it seems that the construction of this special zone is not a good thing~" Newar was furious when he heard this.

"Haha.... It's impossible that the adults above haven't thought about this, and it's not your turn to think about it. ”

[That's right, it is impossible for them not to anticipate these problems. With that, Lelouch fell silent, and a reluctant smile on his face was replaced by a gloomy one.

[Can you just wait like this? What should I do if the SAR is established? Japan will have no soil for the Black Knights to survive. Do you want to start over in other colonies? No, such words will never bring down the Empire. 】

Glancing at the silent Lelouch, Newar had long been surprised, and he was usually like this anyway.

At the same time, the capital of the Chinese Federation - Luoyang.

"Xingke, don't be rude later, especially if you do superfluous things."

The speaker's voice was high-pitched, his face was sickly, and his contrived gestures revealed an indescribable disgust.

Those who have this kind of characteristic, looking for the whole world, there is only the group of eunuchs of the Chinese Federation-the Great Eunuchs.

"Acknowledgment."

The long-haired black man who was questioned did not change his face, and his tone was as cold as a machine.

"Hmm..."The chief eunuch nodded noncommittally.

In sight, the ship's hatch slowly opened, and the red carpet was rolled out along the hatch.
