"Ideal?"

.

"General, the target has passed through Site 3."

"Hmm." Balklay nodded, signaling that he understood.

"Begin the action after the target passes by Site 5."

"Yes!"

Ideal or something, Balklay never thought of it. Even now he doesn't have any idea of ideals. If you really want to say it, what I want most in my heart now is the wish to completely drive the emperor out of this land. Whatever his true thoughts were, when he came to his senses, he was already in the camp of the Free Army and became the commander of the unit.

Trans-Siberian Railway, on top of a galloping armored train.

"It's a lot worse than District 11." Monica flipped through the information sent by the headquarters of the Imperial European Dispatch Army.

The number of European troops has exceeded 800,000, and the total number of armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, and Knightmare has exceeded 4,500. It sounds like a huge number, and in fact the European Dispatch has become the largest military corps overseas in the entire Empire, but now the behemoth is helpless in the face of the guerrilla forces that have suddenly appeared in various places.

"The small size of Area 11 and the well-developed urban transportation meant that the guerrillas lacked room to hide and maneuver, and the Empire's rule there had been maintained for eight years, even the black rebellion that caused a large-scale riot in Area 11 could be suppressed. But here ....."

Looking at the map of Eurasia in front of her, Monica fell silent.

"It's just too big."

Lilena whispered what Monica was thinking.

The sheer size of the army was nothing compared to the vastness of the land, but it wasn't the problem that really made the empire feel like it was being held against the back.

The real threat is what these guerrillas are doing, and they are different from the resistance that the emperor has encountered in the past. In the past, those resistance groups were no different from terrorists, and what they did was basically sabotage, looting supplies, and attacking the lone imperial army. If it's just like this, it will have no effect at all except for adding some small trouble to the emperor, but it will make them abandoned by their own people.

This time, however, the opponents were different, they appeared to be very organized and targeted. The guerrilla operations that seem to be scattered all over the country have obvious linkage, and their actions are also completely directed at the emperor's biggest weakness - the supply line.

The empire has occupied this place for a short time, and there is no time to convert the productive forces of the occupied area into its own ownership, and the land occupied is so large that the empire, which has eaten up most of its own land area, has finally become indigestion at this moment.

"Such a large number of troops, all of their vitality is maintained on this railway that runs through the land bridge...", Lilena said worriedly, looking out the window at the plain.

"In my opinion, the emperor should have shrunk across the board a long time ago." , Monica threw away the sofa next to the information network.

"Monica-sama, the army and the people are unacceptable." Liliana smiled bitterly.

"How can the right sanity be kidnapped by the fanaticism of ignorance!" Monica scoffed, "However, if it were His Highness Honezel, he wouldn't have made such a mistake." ”

"Sure enough, I am under pressure from His Majesty the Emperor!"

It's easy to imagine, isn't it? Except for the owner of all the power of the Empire, who else could have allowed the Commander-in-Chief of the Empire's Eurasian and African Dispatch Forces, who was also the Prime Minister of the Empire, to constantly violate the original strategic plan?

"But then again, there are interesting tactics in the guerrilla forces...."

'Boom~~'

At this moment, the sound of an explosion was heard, and the sound of the train's emergency braking followed by violent vibrations.

"Cut! I didn't think the range of activities of those guerrillas had expanded here! Before the tremors passed, Monica had already begun to give the order, "All hands are ready for battle!" ”

Just as the train finally ended its inertial sliding, the figure of the Knightmare group appeared on the knoll in the distance.

"What a great welcome gift!" Monica, who confirmed the situation through the car window, sneered.

“”

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

"What about the results of the investigation?"

Hearing footsteps behind him, Emperor Charles asked coldly.

"Using Geass for forensics, they weren't lying."

He walked over to the emperor's side and stood still, and then said softly.

"Since it's not lying, that means it's all true....." The Emperor's voice was calm, as if he had expected this outcome.

"But if it's true, who can do this kind of alien technology that is still in science fiction?" Disbelieving rhetorically.

"Aren't there aliens?" After a long silence, the emperor whispered.

"That's just a nickname." Make no secret of your disdain.

"The Order's research experts have said that despite his alien nickname, a thorough analysis of his invention reveals that much of the technology is still based on existing scientific theories. In other words, those inventions that seem to be full of science fiction are still in the category of understandable and acceptable. ”

"Do you know anything about science?" The Emperor asked rhetorically after a sneer.

"A little...."After living for so long and serving as the leader of the Order, even if I don't want to, I know some relevant knowledge.

"What do you know about the application of technology?"

"Nope."

"Give you an astronomical telescope, can you calculate the orbit and period of the celestial body?"

"That's not what I'm supposed to do."

"If you don't know anything, who is qualified to make such an assessment?" Even if it's just out of habit, the gaze is full of unspeakable contempt.

"If that group of mediocrities were useful, they wouldn't have been able to do a few decades of research without knowing anything about it, and they wouldn't have been able to do it for half a year without anyone else knowing."

"Have you read the research materials he left behind?" Asked unexpectedly.

"That's the top priority, isn't it? After all, he had only relied on the bits and pieces of information left by Clovis to find the ruins of the temple. ”

"Are you sorry?" I heard the implication in the emperor's words.

"Is it a pity?" The emperor's obviously prolonged tone rarely revealed the hesitation in his heart.

"It's better to regret that I gave him too much freedom! We should have tethered him to the Imperial Academy of Sciences if we had known, so that it wouldn't have caused too much trouble to our plans. ”

Saying this, the Emperor shook his head slowly.

"The most important thing now is to find out what this is really going on. Is he still alive? Or is it that the man who has received his inheritance is finally starting to lose his patience? ”

The first thing that ..... thought of was the 'girl' who disappeared at the end.

"If you just want to destroy the supply line of the emperor's ** and destroy the fleet directly, there are no particularly rare raw materials or parts in the transport fleet, is it just a simple provocation?"

"Do you need to wait a little longer?" He asked.

"It's not my style to wait and see."

"I knew...."Wen Yan suddenly smiled.

"I've prepared countermeasures for that."

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

"Hmm...."Rubbing her still tired eyes, the green-haired girl walked out of the door.

"Wow!!"

However, before he could take two steps, he was startled by the maid who was squatting by the door.

"What are you doing here?" Asked cautiously.

。

"Master Kamiyu said to let me relax once in a while, and gave me 24 hours... Troops, it's 22 hours and 23 minutes, ah no, it's 22 minutes of vacation time, above. ”

"Where's Kamiyu?"

"I have already traveled to the EU for a secret meeting with members of the Central Assembly, above."

"So... You've been here for 1 and a half hours? ”

Just hugged your knees again and lowered your gaze.

"My lord, what should I do on vacation? Does Kamiyu-sama no longer need me? Above. ”

"Isn't it just giving you a day off? Don't act like you're persecuted. Reluctantly, he walked past Musashi.

"Just do something to pass the time and relax."

"What should you do to pass the time? Above. ”

"In short.... After thinking for a while, the ..... suddenly changed to an anxious tone after finding that his mind was empty.

"You're annoying! How do I know what is going on to pass the time, and if I don't know what I want to do, I don't do anything and keep myself in the best possible state! ”

"I see, it's right to do nothing, right?" Musashi, who said this, maintained a squatting posture with his knees crossed, and his eyes became blank.

"Yes.. Be... That's it. "Walked into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later......

"Okay, okay! Follow me today! He walked back backwards, rubbing his soft green hair vigorously.

"Don't show such a pitiful appearance, really, don't look at a cold face, in fact, you look like your master inside."
