"Well, it's a lot of pressure to face the six Knights of the Round Table, no matter who they are."

Kamiyu pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then looked up again.

"Now we can only be as patient as possible, and the situation will soon turn around."

"Turnaround?"

Barclay didn't know where the other party's information came from, and since he took over this stall, although he didn't have all the constraints and restrictions he had in the EU, he didn't have so much convenience in terms of intelligence. Satellite monitoring or something, it's really useful on the battlefield, but it can't replace the role of those agents.

"That's right, you can use this time to gather the non-essential scattered troops."

"Do you want to have a battle when you gather your troops?" The former and current general of the EU immediately sensed the intention from Kamiyu's short words, "But isn't this contrary to the original combat policy?" ”

"The Imperial Army will not easily withdraw from the occupied land, this is not something that the Occupation Command can decide, all will comes from the Emperor. So even if you transfer the Knights of the Round Table, if you don't show enough strength to make Honezel feel threatened, you will always be just ringworm in the eyes of the Imperial Army. ”

[It shouldn't be possible for the Emperor to see the situation so clearly~] Balklay didn't say it, but his face was full of doubts about this speculation.

[How can you, who don't know Geass, understand that person's thoughts? Make sure the ruins are in your hands, and expanding the territory is just a bonus. 】

Kamiyu closed his eyes slightly, sighed in his heart, and then opened them again.

"It is not to stop cutting off the supply lines of the Imperial Army, but the battle is a decisive means of forcing the Imperial Army to make a decision to retreat. Moreover, so far the army has not created a unified command structure, and during this time you have to integrate this, it was said before, but after a while I am afraid that all kinds of speculators will not be able to resist jumping out. ”

"I see." Barclay knew the implicit meaning of this sentence.

The EU was originally a federation of several countries, and in the war with the Holy Bnetanian Empire, the friction between the central government and the states and counties that were dissatisfied with the abandonment of the EU was quite serious, and many states had become independent, and even Barclay himself was abandoned by the EU government as a pawn, because of the order he issued.

The composition of the Free Army is not uniform, only a part of the army has been trained and integrated in Afghanistan, and a significant number of the army is formed spontaneously by people from the various occupied states. Although they are also under the banner of the Free Army, neither Camillo nor Barclay has much influence on them. If the imperial army retreats, such a large area of land left behind, not to mention that it will become full of warlords, but there will definitely be many strange independent states.

This was not in line with Camillo's goals, and for Balclay, a former senior EU general, he was used to the idea of grand unification, and he was psychologically unable to accept this result. Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of this to extinguish all the signs in the cradle.

After the communication ended, Camillo leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Lelouch is a very troublesome man!" Today's pattern of the world, even if you don't push him behind your back, it will change quickly in his hands, this double-edged sword is not very easy to use~~"

"Brother Huang, I'm ready." Just then, Euphemia's voice came from outside the door.

"There's another important battlefield to solve." Kamiyu shook his head, then stood up.

"How?" Dressed in a dark OL uniform, and with long dyed blonde hair tied behind her head, Yufermia jumped around in front of Kamiyu.

"Doesn't that smell like a female secretary?"

"Indeed." Kamiyu smiled wryly and avoided Yuphemia's gaze, and then added in a voice that only he could hear, "A female secretary in another sense"

"Actually, I've prepared such a model."

Yufemiaa straightened her chest, stood up straight, and raised her head proudly, like an iron virgin who likes to embarrass her subordinates in the TV series, and supported the lower-rimmed glasses she had specially worn with her outstretched palm.

"Okay, okay, it's best to be natural then" As if suddenly thinking of a certain bad existence, Kamiyu hurriedly walked out of the city with Yuphimia.

District 11

"I didn't expect it to be time to return to this land." After taking a deep breath, the girl said in a tone that made it impossible to tell whether it was a joke or a serious one, "It's still full of rotten smell as always." ”

"Please rest assured that according to the current air quality test, except for the high carbon dioxide content, there are no abnormal harmful gases. Above. The maid behind the girl replied earnestly without raising her head.

"Did that guy Kamiyu do it on purpose? Why do you always want you to follow me and torture me!? ”

"My mission is just to keep the C.C. safe. After all, this is an important colony of the Empire, and it is also a key area of activity of the Intelligence Agency, and Lord C.C., as the most wanted criminal of the Empire, is very dangerous here, above. "Although Musashi is just stating the facts, it sounds like sarcasm.

"Just you?" C.C is not so much a suspicion as an unconvincing provocation.

"Although my personal combat strength is limited, Lord Kamiyu has given me authorization in advance, and if I encounter a dangerous situation beyond my personal ability, I can move the fleet at will and use all feasible means, and that's it."

"Kamiyuta"

"Speaking of which, in the part about air just now, didn't I pretend to be stupid and not vomit? Above. ”

“”

The moving atmosphere that had been built up with great difficulty suddenly froze in Musashi's puzzled expression when he lowered his head.

"Huh!? Did you want me to vomit just now? ”

"Is it hard to understand? Above. ”

"It's no different than usual!"

It's really tiring to get along with this guy~

At this moment, an inconspicuous business vehicle stopped in front of the two men.

"Huh? Is this a health resort in Paris? The red-haired girl who stepped out of the car glanced at the maid standing behind C.C., and her contempt could not help but be revealed.

"There's a saying, don't annoy your sponsors at any time. I think you know what that means, right? It was impossible not to notice the C.C in the other party's eyes, and not to be outdone, he replied.

The girl looked unhappy, but in the end she endured it.

"Get in the car."

The doors opened, and the six-seater van was empty except for the driver.

"Would you like to take you to the hotel first?" The driver is a 30-year-old native of District 11, and because of the issue of secrecy, this driver is obviously also a big cadre in the current Black Knights.

"No, go straight to the secret base." C.C., who got into the car, simply refused, "I want to confirm the actual situation of the Black Knights first." ”

The Black Knights, which were once a sensation, are now only three or two big cats and kittens. Who called the Black Knights themselves did not have any industry, and the six families of Kyoto, who were the original sponsors of the Black Knights, were wiped out in the Black Rebellion, and all assets were either destroyed or confiscated, and after the rebellion ended, it became a dispensable idle chess in the hands of Kamiyu, who usually provided the Knights with minimal activity funds, weapon support and hiding places.

The reason why it is treated like this is also because the vitality of District 11 after the Black Rebellion was greatly damaged and completely lost the value of becoming a stage, so Kamiyu himself has no intention of reviving and expanding the Black Knights, if it weren't for a Lelouch who was modified by the emperor and then rearranged to study at Ashoford Academy, maybe Kamiyu would not have paid attention to the remnants of the Black Knights at all, and just let this outdated organization fend for itself.

"I think you seem to be called Karen, right?" After the car drove for a while, C.C was the first to break the awkward atmosphere of silence in the car.

C.C was quite interested in this Karen Shuttardfeld, no, the girl who should be called Red Moon Kalian.

In the short time she had been helping Lelouch, she had met the girl whom Lelouch regarded as the number one warrior, but Karene had never had a chance to meet her. And from Kamiyu, she also got some interesting information. The girl was also Camillo's best friend, the fiancée of the Fifth Knight, Luke Calder.

Taken together, I'm afraid that no matter who they are, they will show due curiosity.

"Yes."

Karen's heart is to ask, how do you know my name? But it didn't seem strange to think that the other party was sent by the unidentified sponsor and had his own information in hand.

"Excuse me" Karen, who was about to speak, found that she didn't even know what to call the other party.

"Just call me C.C. As for this wayward maid, it's called Musashi. ”

"Wayward?" Karen looked at the maid suspiciously, whose figure and appearance could make a man look obsessively, but who had never said a word from the beginning, and did not understand why the girl with the strange name could say that she was willful. The only thing I have to say is that from the beginning to the present, the rear-view mirror reflects Mr. Bube's gaze at the proud twin peaks.

"Then you'll know the truth."

C.C doesn't want to explain anything, anyway, the other party will have a chance to experience it.

"Well, Miss C.C. What is the purpose of your visit? ”

"Confused?" C.C asked rhetorically.

"Yes, after all, for most of the past six months, you have not asked for anything at all, and you have very little contact. Suddenly two liaisons were sent."

"Huh," C.C chuckled.

"So have you ever thought that after the loss of Zero, the Black Knights should have lost any investment value a long time ago, but the real reason why we still fund you?"

"Of course it is"

Karene was eager to answer, and it was naturally in favor of the re-independence of the Japanese. But judging from the attitude of the other party, it doesn't look like this answer. Well, the only thing that is left is probably that

"Zero, of course! No, it should be Lelouch Lampeluki, or more so Lelouch Lampelucci. V. Bunitania is the most accurate, isn't he? C.C's amber pupils reflected Kalian's stunned expression.
