Night.

"Brother, aren't you going to attend today's party?"

Yufemiaa looked curiously at Kamiyu, who was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the night view of the entire city.

Although it was the best location in the city, and at the same time the most beautiful place to enjoy the city, she was under the impression that Kamiyu had never been idle to watch.

"I've pushed it off."

"Brother?" Euphemia felt even more strange that her brother was rarely in the habit of rejecting his original plan. At least since District 11 in more than a year, Euphemia hasn't seen this happen once.

"I want to see the news today."

"News?" Euphemia subconsciously looked at the shining silver screen behind Kamiyu.

And then she noticed that since she stayed in this hotel, the super-large screen TV, which had not been turned on once, was playing at the moment.

"Any important news?" Euphemia switched to several international channels, but didn't find any noteworthy news.

"There may or may not be. In short, you'll find out in a moment. ”

Although she didn't understand what Kamiyu was talking about, she had a strong premonition that something big was going to happen.

Eastern Europe....

There were six Knights of the Round Table sitting on either side of the long oval conference table, although each of them had a casual demeanor, but as the strongest man on the battlefield, the sense of oppression released invisibly also made any ordinary soldier not take a step closer to this space.

"In recent days, resistance activities have begun to shrink, and the frequency of ambushes and harassment has decreased by almost 80 per cent compared to the past, which is unusual."

Schunezel began the topic with a characteristic calmness.

"Your Highness, although the recent battles have dealt a certain blow to the Resistance Army, this should not be the reason for the current stability."

The first to speak was Keno, who was the third horseman.

Originally, it was not Keno's turn to speak first under normal circumstances, which did not suit his personality, but it was a pity that in the current conference room, there was no more suitable person than him.

The sixth knight Ania was originally silent, the twelfth knight Monica also became a cold face, the seventh knight Shumu Suzaku was originally more suitable in personality and knowledge, but unfortunately because of racial reasons, there were many contradictions with the eleventh knight Bradley, as long as Suzaku spoke, Bradley would definitely say a few words in a weird manner, and then there would be no need to open this meeting.

As for the rest of the Fifth Knight, Luke Calder, who was quite similar to himself in personality and temper...... Forget it, in the degree of willfulness and laziness, even Keno is ashamed of himself.

So this kind of thing, which would never have been his turn, happened at this moment.

"Rumor has it that the Resistance is taking advantage of this to carry out a general reorganization, and that the troops we have annihilated are likely to be the opponents or those with ulterior motives who have been kicked out. This was learned from the mouths of the defectors among the captured officers, and the authenticity was questionable, but it had to be cared for. There is also information that the commander of the Resistance is ....."

Kino paused, and looked around at the crowd.

"Former commander of the EU Sixth Army, General Balklai."

Although there was no noisy discussion in the conference room due to the small number of people, everyone's eyes were focused on Keno for a moment.

There are no impermeable walls in the world, let alone such a high-profile figure as the commander of a large army. Moreover, not everyone wants to believe in a mysterious figure like Zero, this is not District 11, and the desire for heroes is not high enough to accept a guy who doesn't even dare to show his face, and his name is known as a fake name to lead him.

What's more, Admiral Balkle's name is also well-known in Eurasia, and for the people here, they are more willing to accept the leadership of a hero of their own country.

"Everyone here has played against him, and I'm sure everyone has experienced his extremely offensive tactical strategy. If such a person is leading our opponents, I believe that what we are facing now is only the calm before the storm. ”

Faced with this conclusion, Schunezel just frowned and tapped lightly on the table twice.

"Balklay is not a person, no matter how good a soldier he is, advanced weapons and equipment are not something he can conjure out of thin air. He has forces behind him that we are not familiar with....."

Regardless, it's obvious that Barclay is just a character who has been pushed to the stage to attract attention.

"Your Highness, the intelligence department has learned that the European consortium is frequently active, and it seems that they can't bear it."

Carnon's reminder seems to be diverting the subject, but in fact it is offering his own opinion.

"This matter cannot be decided here."

In this regard, Schunezel was also quite troubled.

The actions of the European consortium are within the jurisdiction of the internal affairs, and they are all military personnel, and they are not at all powerless in the economic field. However, as the prime minister of the Honezel Empire and the highest civil servant of the empire, he had to stay in Moscow to preside over military affairs at the moment.

It's incredibly ironic.

[If only Cornelia and Camillo were still around.] More than once, Honezel had sighed silently for his lack of skill.

The eldest prince Odysseus is indecisive and mediocre, the first princess Genevale is arrogant and ignorant, and the rest of the princes and princesses are more than intelligent, but too immature. At this critical moment, it is impossible to deliver the heavy trust.

One can count on sharing the responsibility, one whose whereabouts are unknown—the one who has been indulged by himself, and the other who has ......

[Perhaps, it's really time to retire.] 】

Never before had he been so hesitant in his heart.

"Your Highness!!"

At this moment, an anxious report came from outside the door.

"Yes..... Something big is happening! ”

"What's the matter?"

"New.... News! ”

............

"This is the Tokyo Concession in the 11th ward, and the remnants of the self-proclaimed Black Knights have returned after a year. As you can see, the emperor ** in the sky surrounds the Tower of Babel! I believe that everyone thinks that today will be the last end of this group of terrorists .... Wait a minute! ”

In the news, the emotional host suddenly stopped to explain and pressed the communicator in his ear with one hand. Then, as if something had been told on the other end of the communication, she looked up at the sky. The camera camera also followed his perspective to the sky.

"What's that!?"

In the footage, countless transport planes carrying Knightmare were huge, and the dense formation made everyone's hearts fluctuate.

But at this moment, it is not them who really occupy the center of the protagonist of the shot.

What really caught people's attention was the huge three-pointed cone-shaped battleship that seemed to appear out of thin air above the top of the Tower of Babel.

Footage that can only be seen in science fiction movies is recreated, with the massive hull casting a shadow over the city, and the nearby transport planes adding to its massity. At this moment, it seems that the group of transport planes moving slowly in the camera is no longer to destroy the remnants of the terrorists, but to fight against this 'alien visitor' in the air.

Although the vast majority of people do not believe that this is an extraterrestrial artifact, the desperate vision of moths fighting a fire naturally arises in their hearts.

"According to visual inspection, the total length of the object is about 350 meters, and the wingspan is more than 300 meters, and it is impossible to infer ....."

The host shouted in surprise.

"Something seems to be moving!"

I saw that the smooth metal shell of the floating battleship suddenly unfolded rapidly, and rows of lenses of different sizes on the hull of the ship folded and shone in the sunlight.

All the lenses worked together, and the number of light particles that were so large that they were clearly visible to the naked eye began to be absorbed, and for a moment it was as if countless particles were about to envelop the battleship.

Finally, a scarlet beam of light as dense as a rainstorm pierced through the group of transport planes in the air and spread out in all directions. The sky was completely dyed red in that second. The next moment, a series of explosions covered everyone's eardrums, and at the same time, the camera lens slipped down, rolled on the ground for a moment, and then shot sideways on the unmanned highway, and the still burning metal fragments that fell from time to time.

But soon, even such shots were covered in snowflakes.

There was silence in the room.

Everyone frowned, but no one asked what it was. Because they all know that none of you here can give an answer.

"I'm going to liaise with District 11 and get full information as soon as possible." Thanon sprang into action.

But just as he turned around, he heard Schunezel reply faintly.

"It's okay to confirm the situation, but don't be in such a hurry, I believe that someone will jump out to give us an answer soon, we might as well wait a little longer."

Schunezel's calm smile was a good reassuring effect, at least the Knights of the Round Table had a mocking smile on the face of the man in Schunezel's mouth.

Yes, since the other party has made such a big scene in front of the world, it is naturally impossible to end it quietly. Those who are waiting to make a declaration to the world can perhaps be described as impatient.

So, half an hour later.........

A person who surprised everyone suddenly appeared on the screen, and his appearance surprised more than one person in the room to their feet. Others set their eyes on Suzaku, and the Eleventh Knight's gaze was even more playful.

Meanwhile, in a hotel penthouse suite in London.

"Brother!" Yuphimia stared at Kamiyu tightly, with a reluctant expression, hoping that he would explain to herself

At this moment, however, the characters on the TV spoke.

"I am, Zero!"
