With the IQ of a stunned person, of course, it is impossible to understand what psychological warfare is and what instigation is.

Judging by the reactions during this time, the soldiers already felt guilty about the events of that day. Now draw the line between heroes and sinners and let them choose their own sides, and the idiots will know what is going to happen.

ZERO's declaration of protecting soldiers is not only to fight for itself, but also to dismantle the stage of the military department.

Punish them? Convict them?

The people's mouth is now overwhelmingly praising these noble warriors, ZERO has a point, the words are round, there are no flaws, they are heroes! Why are you punishing them?! That's all the military department is talking about, this is this?!

Acquitted them? Riding a horse and wearing a saffron?

The military department really coaxed! ZERO scared them out with a word! This group of generals only has the courage to kill students and civilians! ZERO wilted immediately when he said a cruel word!

Now that ZERO has put this issue on the table, it is that even the military department has blocked the right to deal with it in a low-key manner and bury it silently, and the masses are waiting for your reaction with their necks stretched.

What the? No movement?

The military department didn't even dare to speak?! It's all like this?!

Not to mention, our army is finished!

That is to say, no matter which of the three options is chosen, the military department will not be able to get rid of the fate of cowardice. As long as this matter is raised before the military department and the position of the people is determined, then ZERO is in an invincible position and will not lose money.

Why not?

As long as one or two of the thirteen GIs in the wanted warrant die, then no matter whether their deaths have anything to do with the information provided by netizens, the rift between the military and the people will irrepressibly widen further.

The flame of doubt cannot be extinguished.

First the army betrayed the people.

It's time for the people to sell their army.

The military headquarters of the 11th district has now become a wasted one, and the top brass is suspicious of each other, quarrels, and purges. There was a split among the rank-and-file soldiers, and war-weariness spread in the barracks. Externally, there is pressure from the public to strike and so on, and in the short term, it is impossible for them to do anything at all.

This is psychological warfare.

ZERO's best trick.

Now, there is one last hurdle left.

Cornelia.

As long as you can control her and use her to paralyze the vigilance of the Empire, at least on the surface, it is not completely out of control, and the supply of Sakurashi is normal, then the Empire should not put too much energy here in Area 11. As long as it can ensure that Area 11 is dead and not stiff, the state of the walking dead continues······

The Black Knights will have a golden opportunity to develop.

"Yufie, hair."

Hearing the man next to her call herself so directly and affectionately, Yuphimia looked at each other in a little shock. Obviously, the relationship between the two is far from the point where they can call each other by nicknames.

Yuphimia was wrapping herself tightly in a scarf and hat, and she was walking down the streets of Shinjuku at noon, looking very funny. And the appearance of the man next to her is even more unreasonable, leaving no gap from head to toe.

Seeing that the girl didn't react, ZERO had no choice but to reach out and tuck the tuft of long pink hair that appeared on the back of Yuphimia's neck into the scarf.

"Ahh I'm sorry. ”

Euphemia hurriedly stepped back to the side.

This hairy self-cooked terrorist came to her apartment at noon and asked her out on the grounds that she hadn't seen the sun for a long time and wanted to take her to bask in the sun.

Naturally, a loyal Eleven stepped forward to oppose this seemingly dangerous act, and urged himself to be a light bulb.

ZERO DIDN'T BIRD HIM, TOOK THE PRINCESS'S ARM AND WALKED OUT OF THE APARTMENT. Seeing this, Suzaku hurriedly rushed forward to protect the master, but a minion in a motorcycle leather suit behind ZERO raised his hand to stop him. The four eyes intersected, the sparks rose straight up, and as expected, the two immediately staged a full martial arts in the corridor.

The moment they walked out of the apartment door, a dark figure slammed through the glass window with a whistling sound and flew out of the third-floor window. Or rather, kicked out? Landed in the parking lot downstairs. Then the leather-clad minions jumped down, and the moment they landed, there was a muffled sound from behind the wall, followed by an earth-shattering scream.

ZERO SIGHED, PRESSED HIS FINGER ON THE HELMET'S COMMUNICATION BUTTON, AND SAID "DON'T KILL HIM". The voice on the other end muttered for a long time, and seemed to be very dissatisfied. ZERO endured it for a long time, but he was still defeated by the other party's broken thoughts, and finally made a concession and changed the statement to "Please don't kill him, okay?" ”

SHUKI WAS FINE, JUST A MINOR INJURY, ZERO REASSURED HER.

Along the way, children in ragged clothes kept running over and frolicking around them. ALTHOUGH ZERO DIDN'T CARE AND STILL WALKED BESIDE HER, EUPHEMIA'S MOOD FELT A LITTLE SUNSHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK OF RAIN.

"They really like you." Euphemia said from the bottom of her heart.

"Nope." ZERO SHOOK HIS HEAD, A SMILE IN HIS TONE. "They don't really know who I am."

"Huh?"

"There are many people in various market settlements who wear my outfit, especially Shinjuku and Saitama. Those kids must have thought I was one of the casual clothes too. ”

This is also a phenomenon that has arisen with the tacit consent of ZERO. ZERO, as well as the mass production of the Black Knights' uniforms, also served as a cover for the actions of the members and ZERO himself in the settlement area.

"Even so, the kids really like you, so when they see 'ZERO', they will smile and come around."

"Really?"

ZERO'S VOICE WAS TINGED WITH A HINT OF SELF-DEPRECATION.

"Maybe it's because they don't know what I've done."

“······”

ZERO, it must be painful too, right?

After all, no one likes such a thing as killing, right?

It was strange that for a moment Euphemia wanted to comfort the terrorist, the thug who had killed his brother and kidnapped him.

But·····

This man should have been forced to do this, there was no way, no choice, watching so many innocent people die, but he was powerless to stop it······ Hatred is also a matter of course.

Is there really no other choice but to counter violence with violence?

"That, uh, ZERO first... Bear? ”

"Hmm."

"Really, there's no other way than to kill..."

"Yes and no."

"Huh?" Euphemia didn't understand.

"In fact, if you want world peace, all you need is a word from that man, it's that simple." ZERO SAID SARCASTICALLY. "But if he refuses to say the word 'collect troops', then ······"

ZERO SHOOK HIS HEAD.

"Yes... Father? ”

"You do, you really recognize him as a father." ZERO SMILED WRYLY.

Among the more than 100 children of the emperor, the one who is the least like him belongs to you.

"Your Royal Highness, do you really want to see world peace?" ZERO sighed.

He was waiting for the girl to help him make his last decision.

“······ Be. ”

"So, I'll tell you the way. ———— kill him and put someone willing to collect troops on the throne. ZERO STOPPED, TURNING TO LOOK AT EUPHEMIA. And in the process, many, many people will die. All I can do is make sure that their blood will not be shed in vain. That's what I've been working on. ”

"No... White stream? ”

The girl's eyes widened.

Will die... A lot of people?

"No, no, this, this and you..."

"It's not what I said before, is it? Yes, I said to protect the innocent, to uphold justice, to punish sinners. I lied to them, I lied to everyone, including you. ”

The girl's body stiffened.

What is he saying?

What does it mean to deceive everyone?

ZERO SIGHED AND SAT DOWN ON THE BROKEN WALL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

"But, you... Why..."

"Cornelia has news, tomorrow is the day of the establishment of the autonomous region, and she wants to see you as soon as possible. So, I want to make some things clear to you before you go.

······ Nope... Actually, you don't know better, I just want to find someone to talk to, to vent. Sorry, Yuffie.

I'm not the kind of person you think I am, I'm not Robin Hood, I'm not the Messiah, I'm just a terrorist. I took advantage of everyone, Eleven, Britannians, you and Cornelia, not even the corpse of Culovis, desperately squeezing every last drop of his value out of it, just to complete my revenge.

'I'm not a good person,' I used to think, and it was an easy phrase, but only now do I realize how heavy the price to pay is to be a bad person. But I've been... Really, there's no going back. If I give up halfway, these elevens, these Britannian students, and the countless people who will die because of me in the future... Their sacrifice will become meaningless.

So, I had to finish the road.

Anyway, it's going to be done.

So, I'm going to do something I'm very sorry for you next. Really, I'm so sorry. ”

ZERO STOOD UP AND WALKED OVER TO EUPHEMIA, REACHING OUT TO TAKE HIS MASK.

“······ Lu· Lexiu? The girl took a step back, fear, or surprise, she herself could not tell the difference, a thousand words, but only turned into tears, silently slipped down.

"You're going to have a dream, a long, long dream. I promise that after you wake up, there will never be such a sad thing in the world again, there will be no more inexplicable wars, and there will be no more bullying and ethnic discrimination. It may not be a utopia, but I promise that the world will be a little better then than it is now. At the very least, no one can deprive others of their right to pursue happiness. ”

Lelouch gently took Euphemia into his arms and comforted the girl softly.

"When you wake up, Nanali will be there for you. Elan, you remember him, right? That white-haired stinky boy who is obviously younger than you, but refuses to call you the imperial sister, he will also be by your side. Everybody together, just like before. You and Nanali can lie on the lawn and talk to the girls whispering. I could sit at the table with that mixed protein, drink black tea, and laugh at each other around the bends, killing the whole afternoon.

I didn't lie this time, I mean it. Can you help me this time? ”

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

[Just a year, Yuffie.] 】

Ah, I didn't expect it, the emperor's love words are no worse than speeches.

If C.C had put so much effort into it, it would have been a month or two by now, and he would have been so nauseous that he couldn't eat pizza, right? It's almost time to make up for parenting, right?

Ilan crouched on the ground, his helmet tossed aside, and reached out to pat Suzaku's face.

"Hey, the world is the same, the gentle world, there is no racial discrimination, aren't you happy?"

Of course, Suzaku couldn't hear his words, let alone Lu Luxiu's true confession, he had completely passed out.

Yucheng, who rushed to hear the news, suddenly burst into tears after seeing the two devils being beaten and paralyzed to the ground, and their lives and deaths were unknown. At this moment, the back of the white hair is so majestic!

"Two masters! You..."

"Jade City..." Ilan stood up and motioned for the minions to tie up Suzaku and carry it back. "Would you like to join hands with the Britannians to create a future?"

"Of course!" Yucheng replied quite simply. "As long as it's the second master..."

"I mean the other Britannians."

"a bunch of white pigs! Bah!! Yucheng's attitude changed sharply, and his answer was still very crisp.

"I think so."

Ilan smiled helplessly.

Hatred is such a thing, how can it disappear in a hundred or two years.

A year is just a love story, right······

The Son of Heaven and the Emperor sat together, drinking black tea to pass the afternoon.

Hmm······

It sounds really good, it's a very picturesque scene.

If it were possible, it would be a great treat.

If... If possible······

The corners of Ilan's mouth curled with a bitter arc, and he didn't know whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation.
