"This is really miserable!".

The people who came out of the cabin were all silent, and many of them were still wearing bandages, looking rather embarrassed. On top of that, many familiar faces don't appear in the line.

"Did the mission fail?"

"I'll just say, three Knightmare are too reluctant..."

"No, even if the other side had been prepared, there would have been no such casualties if the plan had not been successfully implemented." Namba, Chiba, and Bube guessed by me.

"Hey! Asahina, what are you doing? At that moment, Asahina walked towards the crowd.

"How's it going?" Grabbed a man who stepped off the boat, and asked nervously, "Did you catch the prince of Bunitania?" What about Zero? What's going on? ”

Originally, he was in a low mood because of his demoralization, and under Asahina's continuous questions, he didn't react to what the other party was asking at all, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Asahina!" Fujido Kagami Shilang, who couldn't stand it, couldn't help but snort.

"Ahh I'm sorry..."Asahina, realizing that he had lost his temper, silently stepped aside.

"I'm sorry, I know you may not have sorted out your mood yet, but now is not the time to be depressed, please tell me what you know..."Fujido Kagamishiro stepped forward, and his comforting words carried a kind of simplicity and fortitude that is characteristic of a soldier.

"We... In the beginning... We did capture the prince of Bunitania .... Everyone is excited.... By the way, we've also taken out almost all of the convoys..... However, after this .... In the base .... We were suddenly attacked by a group of very powerful guys.... They're amazing.... Nakata is dead, Shikimori is dead, Tachibana is dead...."The incoherent tremor of the questioner spoke, and the sentence was incoherent, as if he recalled what had been said.

"Where's Zero?"

"Later.... Zero ordered everyone to retreat..."

"So, what about the prince of Bunitania?" After breathing a sigh of relief to learn that Zero was alive and well, Asahina asked about another important question, or one that everyone was very concerned about.

However, the answer was just a blank shake of the head.

"Forget it, it seems that he really only knows so much..."Stopping Asahina, who was still about to ask, Fujido looked at the last two people who came out of the cabin.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Hmph..."In the face of Chiba's inquiry, Ito Yakumo turned his head unexpectedly and walked past the five people with the katana in his hand.

"It's hard to put into words...."The black-haired boy who walked with Ito Yakumo smiled bitterly.

"At the beginning, the operation was indeed very smooth, before the emperor ** reacted, except for the twelfth knight of the round table, we set up an ambush and wiped out all the escorts, and took advantage of the relationship that the tenth prince already had in our hands to get rid of the entanglement of the twelfth knight of the round table, and transferred it to a temporary stronghold that had been prepared for a long time." Yagami's narration is obviously much more comprehensive and organized than that of the ordinary Black Knights.

"However, things have gotten weird since then, and now that I think about it, maybe it was a trap in the first place." Speaking of this, a trace of solemnity flashed in Yagami's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"The Tenth Prince's personal guard actually found our location, and then launched a sneak rescue operation without hesitation."

"The Tenth Prince's Guard!?" Everyone was shocked: "How is it possible?" Isn't the Pro Guard supposed to be in Nagasaki? ”

"Not only that, but the equipment they are equipped with has been prepared from the beginning for covert infiltration operations." Yagami, who had been thinking about the encounter repeatedly in the submarine, said with certainty.

If night vision devices are standard equipment in the Imperial Army, then the special small-caliber silencer weapon, fiber optic camera, and heartbeat meter equipment that will not necessarily be used in special operations is enough to show that the other side is prepared.

"I have to say that the Tenth Prince's personal guard is very fierce, and if it weren't for the routine regular communication of the various groups, maybe we wouldn't have noticed anything abnormal until our heads were held up by the muzzle. But even that was a bit late, and we only had time to lay a net of fire at key points in order to delay time. ”

"The plan should be foolproof, is it said that there is a mole?" Chiba said suddenly.

If you think about it, it's a big possibility. The Black Knights' choice of hiding place for this operation, with the exception of a few high-ranking cadres, was only informed after the operation began. If it weren't for the mole, it would not have been possible to be found in such a short time.

"I don't think that's possible." Just when everyone was suspicious, Rakuchata suddenly interjected, "Is it only Kamiyu's personal guard who came?" Or is there an emperor ** acting together? ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"That's a big difference." Rakuchata couldn't help but sneer slightly.

In the eyes of the people of District 11, the royal family's personal guards are nothing more than a group of emperors who wear distinctive military uniforms and have some privileges, and they are also invaders. But in fact, the royal family's personal guards and the knights of the great nobles actually belong to the legitimate private army attached to the name of the emperor's ** ministry and have regular military positions, and they are only loyal to their own lord. This, of course, did not prevent some of these capable people from taking up inconsequential positions appointed by the emperor. (Like Dalton, he belongs to Conelia's personal guard, but at the same time, he is also a teacher at the Imperial School.) ）

And the emperors who usually see them wearing orthodox military uniforms are the [regular army] that are only loyal to the empire and the emperor.

"If the emperor ** came together, it means that some of us did leak information, and the emperor ** was prepared. But if it's just Kamiyu's personal guards, then I can imagine how they found it. Rakuchata scratched his head with a long cigarette stick that didn't contain a tobacco.

"You mean!?"

"A low-frequency frequency transmitter that sends a signal every few minutes....." Rakuschata looked up at the crowd who were staring at him blankly.

"Hey! Feed! You don't even think to check out his accessories, do you? Looking at the embarrassed faces, Rakuchata didn't want to say anything more.

"Forget it, it's not your fault, after all, with his character, it is more likely to be hidden in his body, and almost no one would have thought that he had such a thing on him"

"If that's the case, it's terrifying.," Fujido muttered to himself, holding his chin.

"That's right, he used himself as bait to catch Zero in turn. Regardless of this wisdom, I can't help but admire the courage and bearing alone. ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about..."Unlike what others thought, Fujido saw it more thoroughly [The Tenth Prince has been luring Zero to attack him.] 】

From the very beginning of the change of guards, increase the number of trips, occasionally add a small dangerous section from the safe route, and even transfer the pro-guard team away. In turn, using the colonial government that constantly leaked information, the Black Knights took it step by step, and finally made up their minds to bite this bait.

"Huh?"

"No, nothing." Of course, he didn't plan to say all this, and if even the upper echelons of the Black Knights were shaken, it would be really bad.

"Where's Zero?"

Yagami Yagami, who knew that he was asking himself, looked back at the dark submarine, and then sighed softly, "I've been locked in my room since I got on the ship." ”

Night has long fallen.

The Governor's Office in the Governor's Mansion did not turn on the main light, only a desk lamp that could only illuminate the desk, and did its best to support a dim light in the darkness. In the light, the figure that was stretched and then submerged in darkness seemed lonely.

'Knock knock...' came a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Cornelia said casually in an anxious tone that seemed slightly weak.

The door opened, and the scene that greeted the eye made it hard to imagine, was this still the Bunitanian witch who was invincible on the battlefield and was regarded as a battlefield Valkyrie by the whole empire, which made EU hate it so much?

Cornelia's long purple hair was casually draped, and his right hand covered the upper half of his face, and although he couldn't see his expression, the aura of depression had already permeated his body. It is unimaginable that in less than a day, this high-spirited and beautiful woman could become like this.

"Is it Guilford?" Cornelia didn't even raise his head, and still said in a weak tone, "Isn't there any news of Kamiyu yet?" ”

“........”

"Or is it that the royal brother of Shunazel has already arrived in the Tokyo Concession, or maybe he already knows about it." Conelia, who didn't hear the answer, laughed self-deprecatingly and continued.

“.......”

"Whatever the news, tell me. There's nothing I Cannella can't accept...."

"Imperial Sister...."

The whispered call made Cornelia tremble as if he had been electrocuted. After a pause that lasted for a second, Conelia suddenly raised his head, and the excessive movement even knocked the lamp on the table to the ground, and the whole room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

However, the last moment of the light reflected the incredible and infinite excitement in the eyes.

"Kamiyu?" She was so excited that when she stood up, the heavy mahogany chair and even the floor made a screeching sound.

"Is it Kamiyu?" Without the lights, Conelia, who could not confirm with his own eyes again, walked straight to Kamiyu without hesitation, and held him in his arms without hesitation.

"Yes... Sister Huang... It's me. Camillo let Conelia squeeze himself into his arms, full of apologies.

"That's right, it's Kamiyu's voice." Cornelia, who was muttering to himself, then buried the tip of his nose in the long pale blue hair, took a deep breath, "That's right, it's the smell of Kamiyu..."

"Imperial Sister.... There is no smell of Kamiyo, there is just the smell of gunsmoke. ”

"I said yes, yes." Conelia seems to have reverted to her usual tough personality.

"Sorry to worry you." Because of his willfulness, he brought so much trouble to the people around him, and at the same time, Kamiyu felt deeply sorry, but also felt that this arbitrary and reckless personality formed at some point needed to be changed.

"As long as you're okay, it's the greatest comfort to the imperial sister."

Approximating doting tolerance, this is Cornelia.

"I'm sorry...."Feeling the warmth of Conelia's desire to melt himself, Camillo hesitated slightly, then raised his arms and hugged his delicate back.
