[Today, there are 3.1 million Britanans living in the Tokyo Concession. The current concession has no power to fight back・・・・・・]

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Hearing the masked man on TV say this, Rival shuddered, couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up from the student council table.

"ZERO isn't serious, is it?!"

"Who knows?" Mi Lei was rarely stern up. "HER ROYAL HIGHNESS CONELIA IS IN CENTRAL JAPAN, AND ALL THE MILITARY FORCES IN THE CONCESSION HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE FOOT OF MT. FUJI, IF THOSE ELEVENS ARE ・・・・・・ NOW! I'm sorry! ”

Seeing Nina Einstein huddled in the corner of the student union, Mirrey hurriedly stopped talking and went over to hold her shoulders

Seeing that the president made a look, Rival took the remote control and changed several stations in a row, but without exception, all of them were ZERO's war mobilization, and all the TV stations were invaded without exception. Remar turned off the TV in desperation, but it still didn't help. The concession's public address system, and even the wartime warning system, were sparing no effort to serve the terrorists with all their might. The high-decibel horns of the air raid sirens pierced through the glass, and the man's muffled voice echoed over the city.

This is the scene in the whole of Japan today.

"It won't be long before the power is going to be cut off, right?" Charlie looked worriedly at the lights on the roof, as if it might go off at any moment. "I don't know where to go, Lulu is like this, it's really ・・・・・・"

Lelouch, Ilan, Suzaku, Karen. With half of the student council absent, and no one of them getting through, it's no wonder that Xia Li is worried.

"No, a power outage at this time will only create a greater panic, and the Governor wouldn't do that."

After all, Mi Lei was born in a military industrial family and has a lot of experience.

This kind of thing is like a death sentence, and ignorance is the most terrible.

If you tell the other party that it will be a week after death, the other party will cry for a while at most and then wait quietly for death. If you tell the other party that we "might" kill you, the time is uncertain, no one can endure this torment, and the whole city will fall into complete madness.

[Those who live there are not your enemies. The people who live there are the same as you, the elderly, children, women, students, ordinary office workers. 】

"Huh?"

Rival didn't react.

[If we attack these unarmed civilians at this time, then everything we have done before will be meaningless.] This only proves that we are nothing more than a raccoon dog with Britannia! We are no more noble than each other! Japan, which will only raise a butcher's knife against the weak, such a country, has no point in saving zài! 】

"Uh・・・・・・"

Rival was stunned for a moment, and a strange expression gradually appeared on his face, and everyone looked the same way at this time.

"It may be strange to say that, but ZERO is really handsome."

Mi Lei also let out a long sigh of relief, and shook her head with a wry smile.

"Speaking of which, don't you think we're actually the villains ・・・・・・ president? Forcing people to the point where this fish is dead and the net is broken, ZERO still treats each other with courtesy..."

"Rivar!"

“OK,OK,FINE・・・・・・”

Revar stuck out his tongue and craned his neck, his hands held high.

Don't understand, don't understand.

Is it really necessary to do this?

Really, is it necessary?

Pushing them to their dead end and blaming each other for their resistance is ・・・・・・

Taking 10,000 steps back, as long as we can give them a little bit of rights, a chance to work, and a chance to be educated, not a childish nonsense like everyone being friends together, but to give them even a little bit of the most basic, as human dignity, today's qiē may not have happened. If he puts himself in ZERO's position, everything he does is understandable. Even as an enemy, he earned the respect of the people of the empire.

ZERO SHOULD BE A REASONABLE PERSON.

If you can talk to him well, if the empire can make a little concession, maybe ・・・・・・

"Rivar."

Mi Lei looked at him in a trance, and sighed softly.

"Huh?"

"We don't have the right to choose sides."

"・・・・・・Well, yes."

There is no shortage of good people in the empire.

The richer and stronger the country and the more people have no worries about food and clothing, the more they have the ability to reflect, which is directly linked to the level of education.

But parents, friends, lovers, children, blood, knowledge, education, way of thinking, these things, these things that cannot be discarded no matter what, have long since determined that they have no choice.

I'm a Britannian, and I can only be on the side of the Empire, and no matter how stupid or cruel the decision the Empire makes, I can only obey, even if we really do it wrong.

It's as simple as that, it's that unreasonable.

Rivar smiled wryly and turned on the TV.

The man on TV is still inciting the feelings of the aborigines, hitting the nail on the head, every word is at the core of the empire, the most essential, and the dirtiest, the most unsightly.

The screen flickered strangely, and ZERO's voice began to become choppy, and the snowflakes gradually covered the entire screen.

"Huh?"

Xia Li stepped forward suspiciously and patted it with her hand, and just as she took the third shot, the screen suddenly went black, and then suddenly lit up.

Bright synagogues, Britannian flags, loud national anthems.

In the middle of the screen is a tall, middle-aged man standing motionless, his dark purple eyes with undisguised contempt.

【ZERO・・・】

The muffled voice was amplified through the bellows-like chest, and the words smashed like a hammer into the hearts of the listeners.

Xia Li's hand retracted as if he had been electrocuted, and he swallowed as if he had just done something blasphemous.

"Emperor, Emperor, Emperor?"

[ZERO, look at your ugly struggle・・・・・・]

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

[Do you want to rely on these inferior people to challenge the empire? Come and challenge me -- the Holy Spirit Emperor of Britannia?! There's often a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and you, ZERO, have crossed that line too far・・・・・・]

The moment the man's figure appeared on the screen, Ilan's whole body froze on the sofa. As if his soul had been drained away, he stared at the screen in a daze.

The girl next to him looked at him puzzled.

"Elan?"

Karene tried to call him, but there was no response.

"Deputy Commander?"

“・・・・・・”

Ilan ignored her, slowly hugged her knees, curled up on the couch, and never took her eyes off the man.

"What's wrong?" Karen worriedly put her arm around his shoulders from behind.

He's shaking・・・・・・

Elan, that monster is shaking?

No, not fear, that's a completely different kind of feeling.

He wanted to kill.

He wanted to kill the man on TV.

Now he is working so hard that he even suppresses his killing intent in pain・・・・・・

"Karen."

"I'm here." The girl said softly, grabbing his head from behind and rubbing it gently. "I'm here."

"Not now..." Ilan's voice trembled slightly. "Can you please let it go?"

The girl's heart fell, but she still let go of her arms.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's fine." As she spoke, Karen picked up the remote and turned off the TV, plunging the room into darkness.

"Karen... Have you ever hated anyone?"

Ilan buried his face in his arms and said in a muffled voice.

"I don't know, if 'Britannians' count."

"Is there any hatred to the point where you even want the other party to live a long life, and you want the other party to beg for death?"

“・・・・・・”

"I won't kill him, I won't ・・・・・・ it's too easy, it's too happy for him, that punishment・・・・・・ I'm going to let him live, like a rag, like a maggot in a dung pit・・・・・・ I've thought of many, many ways to deal with him・・・・・ and when he goes through this qiē, all the torture of the Middle Ages is for him, He will kneel on the ground and beg me to kill him・・・・・・ and when that day comes, I will use all my wisdom and all the resources in the world to prepare for him・・・・・・..."

Ilan was obsessed with thoughts, as if she was forced by something, as if this was the only way to stop the pain.

There was substance of viciousness in his voice, churning and corroding in his blood.

Karen involuntarily took a step back.

"It's done."

"Huh?"

"Sue them, it's time to do it."

Ilan commanded coldly in a stranger's tone.

Karen, who didn't know how to respond, was a full half an hour ahead of ZERO's time.

"But it's not the planned time..."

"Don't make me say it again."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Turn it off."

Her Royal Highness the Princess's face was very ugly now, and she waved her hand and ordered the staff officers to turn off her father's image.

The Emperor knew he was here. He knew he was gathering his troops and preparing for a battle to the death with the Black Knights. But since she sent out her request for reinforcements, her father has not said a word to her, not even indirect instructions. And this only appearance was to speak directly to ZERO.

With his ninety-five body, he issued a war letter to a small traitor.

This kind of over-the-top diplomacy clearly means that the emperor no longer believes in himself, and his personal remarks mean that the empire has completely abandoned negotiations and given up room for manoeuvre. Completely liberate the war planes and fight to the death.

The Emperor has already decided -- he will come by himself.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before I receive an order to "return to China and resume work".

Well, only until then・・・・・・

"Dalton."

The princess slowly opened her eyes.

The scar-faced man immediately turned around when he heard this.

"Yes. The army has been assembled at 80 per cent, and it will be ready to be deployed in two hours. The three major armies, each with 50,000 men and 1,000 knightmare, attacked Mt. Fuji in three ways. ”

"Well, what about the mob?"

"Still assembling to the rear of our army, but not in a hurry to attack, it should be following ZERO's command on the radio. According to aerial footage, it is estimated that there are at least 100,000 people, which is only a little more. ”

"Follow-up?"

Dalton hesitated and shook his head.

"I don't know...

Cornelia's fists clenched tightly.

They were waiting for instructions from ZERO, and as soon as the large forces attacked, the mob would take advantage of the situation and rush into the rear base camp. As it stands, these locusts are inexhaustible, and they will only become more ferocious in one wave. And all their belongings are already here, and it is impossible to have any more support until the country arrives.

Everybody knows that.

It's not impossible to break the cauldron and sacrifice one's life, but as long as one wave can't kill the Black Knights, and their rear is wiped out, there is a lack of ammunition supplies, and all the mechanized troops that have run out of energy will have to be sent to this Mount Fuji.

A considerable number of troops must be left behind to hold this place.

ZERO is using this cannon fodder to share the pressure on the front.

The real disadvantage in numbers is actually your own side.

"Guildford."

"Yes."

The knight behind him stepped forward, hands behind his back.

"What did the royal brother say?"

"The Prime Minister said that he was helping us fight for it, but the Emperor had no intention of relenting, and there was little hope of transferring troops from the 10th District. But he promised that the vanguard would land early. ”

"Log in early?"

Cornelia asked, confused.

What is early login? The maximum speed of the troop carrier is placed there, and thirty knots is thirty knots, which is not something that can be changed by human will. How many knightmare can you get by air across the Pacific Ocean?

"The subordinates don't know, and the prime minister doesn't want to say it clearly, but he just asks Her Royal Highness the princess to rest assured. But the Prime Minister has never made uncertain promises, so he must be fully prepared. ”

Don't want to say it explicitly?

The relationship between himself and the imperial brother has always been good, and he rarely asks him for things on weekdays, but as long as he speaks, Shunezel is responsive and knows everything. But this time・・・・・・ why?

If you don't let yourself know the login time and landing location of the reinforcements, how can you join forces? So how do you lay out your tactics?

Is this what the emperor meant?

He asked the imperial brother to preside over the war in District 11 instead of him, but the imperial brother couldn't bear to say it directly, so he used this way to implicitly elevate himself?

Yourself, has been left out of the plan?

Is your next move just to delay time for them?

Have I become an outcast?

The Witch of the Empire...

Actually reduced to ・・・・・・

"Your Highness!!"

Before Conelia could attack, a figure had already crawled in front of her, kneeling down on one knee in a hurry, and constantly waving a stack of texts in his hand.

"Count Lloyd."

Guildford frowned, but still bowed politely.

Lloyd's glasses were crooked to the side, his chest was constantly heaving, and the expression on his face was not sure whether it was excitement or panic, maybe both.

"The Royal Academy of Sciences has tested my hypothesis! Ahem, I was right! My theory works! ”

"Your theory? I guess it's Kyoto's theory, right? Guildford couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Anyway." Lloyd didn't care in the slightest. "The Royal Institute of Geology built a model of Mt. Fuji and did it many times, and finally came to the conclusion that the result of detonating Mt. Fuji would not only be that there would be no more cherry stones to use, but that all vertebrates would become extinct. Now the scientists in the hospital are all crazy! I'm writing a joint letter, begging the emperor to negotiate peace with ZERO・・・・・・Uh..."

Lloyd noticed that Cornelia looked at something ominous flickering in his eyes, and instantly came to his senses, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hah! Ha ha! Of course, I personally think it's better not to negotiate! Aha! ”

With that, his head lowered deeply.

"Your Royal Highness, should this news be released to ZERO?" Guildford thought for a moment and stepped forward.

"Huh?"

"The Black Knights are just bodyguards for Kyoto, and ZERO probably doesn't know the outcome of their plan yet, and in his mind's mind, this plan should be limited to destroying Sakuramine. He may also be being used by Kyoto..."

"Stop talking stupid."

Cornelia stopped him with a raised hand.

"ZERO is being used by Kyoto? Do you believe this when you say it? ”

“・・・・・・”

This qiē was ZERO's plan from beginning to end, and the six families in Kyoto had already been kidnapped by him. Lloyd. ”

"Yes!"

"How long do we have left?"

"Ahh In geology, there is a method called blast exploration, which uses the number of vibrations generated by blasting to analyze underground structures. The excavation method used by the other party is exactly the blasting method, and the blasting density is very frequent. Therefore, if you analyze these numbers backwards, the estimation of the depth of the hypocenter can be controlled within 20 meters, if there are more sophisticated instruments in the country..."

"Lloyd." Cornelia rubbed her eyebrows and said impatiently. "Answer my question."

"It's a week as fast as it is, and as slow as it is 10 days. They are now four-fifths of the way from the core of the vein. ”

Is it the same time as the home support?

Really, you've got it all right, ZERO.

Now he has only spied on the tip of the iceberg of his plan, this is by no means the whole of ZERO, that man has always counted ten steps back, twenty steps, and there must be other follow-ups.

If he was to be hollowed out, it was also a step in his plan・・・・・・

Intuition told Sù Conelia -- By the time the imperial brother's reinforcements arrived, it was very likely that they would be irretrievable.

That's right, Shunezel didn't know how terrible that man was, even if he was a royal brother who had no last resort, he would inevitably fall for his way the first time.

No one in this world knows ZERO better than himself.

Can't wait any longer!

Conelia slapped the armrest and stood up, and was about to give the order when a dull voice stopped her.

It was clearly the sound of artillery, but the direction was definitely not the artillery position behind him, and the caliber did not match.

At this moment, the ground artillery radar had already locked onto the shell that was still in the air, and instantly calculated that the shell was on the top of Mt. Fuji, and the image of the shell was sent to a large screen by a high-definition camera linked to the radar.

Pink...

No, it's not an artillery shell, it's clearly a low-velocity giant shelling grenade. The rear wing is made of metal, which is fine. The shell is actually transparent, and the charge inside can be seen at a glance, and it is a pink...

Lloyd's pupils gradually dilated, and his mouth opened wide like a goldfish starved of oxygen, but his vocal cords were tense and he couldn't spit out a word.

An electric light flashed on the surface of the bullet case, and the pink crystals inside instantly liquefied as if by magic.

"Lying !! Under!!! ”

Lloyd shouted with all his strength.

"Everyone!! Lie down!! ”

As if suddenly twenty years younger, Lloyd swooped under Cornelia's chair and shrunk into a ball with his head in his arms.
