Vol.166 The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the cherry blossoms are gone......
(1st Update 3K...... Well, that's not the previous chapter...... )
In fact, the results of this combat meeting were determined from the very beginning.
In any case, this time the "cherry blossom offensive against the underground beta brood of the headquarters" launched by the Hakurei Hiiragi School Park was confirmed before the meeting began, and the reason why a group of school representatives were invited to the meeting was that all that was needed was the attitude of allies/enemies.
Among the forces present,I once promised to "help in the counterattack of the Bailing Hiiragi School Park no matter what",So now it's not just sitting idly by.,And Huangwu Yuan Youyang also knows this.,When he turned his eyes to me several times,,It's all deliberately revealing friendly intentions.。
Well, this is the sadness of being noble, every word and deed has been engraved with an irreparable brand, and all actions involve a deep political intention, but for this girl, this qiē is also something she must and has to do.
When the IS Academy was destroyed and the remnants were taken over by our institute, the only Middle School No. 1 on the side of the SSS Regiment of the hostile camp was the most important party in this meeting.
The strength of EVA is obvious to all, and although it has suffered heavy losses in recent battles with the Apostles, at least until then, the EVA mech is a necessary main body for the Apostles' operations.
And Shinji Ikari made a promise to "deal with the apostles" at this moment, which means the current ...... Hmm, do you mean that it is better to combine three or four schools? All in all, now is not the time to dwell on that.
"What a strong statement."
Even if you have a general understanding of Shinji Ikari's character, you have also seen the forbearance of this young man, but ...... I still can't help but want to applaud this guy's statement.
However, I'm afraid that Shinji Ikari would say this, and he was also instructed by Ikari Gendo.
In the current situation, once the battle of the White Ring Hiiragi School Park is successful, the harsh situation encountered by the three school parks that will be attacked by the beta at the same time will also become easier at the same time.
Therefore, the fact that No. 1 Middle School is in charge of such a thing does not in itself express any change in attitude or intention, after all, fighting against the apostles has always been the job of No. 1 Middle School.
As the ultimate goal of the apostles, as I said before, dealing with the apostles in the territory of other schools is in itself a completely harmless thing for the first middle school, so it is not surprising that the first middle school has made such a decision now.
"But ......"
Despite this, I couldn't help but open my mouth a little and reminded Youyang of the Huangwu Academy.
"If conditions permit, this time the battle against the BETA brood is best carried out at the same time as the Apostle Defense."
Even if she got the assurance of the first middle school, the girl's face was still calm and elegant, but when I said such a mention, Huangwuyuan Youyang still ...... a little Surprised.
"Why...... What does Ito think? ”
…… It's a strange name, but maybe my name couldn't escape such a fate from the beginning, right?
“…… It's just that this is more advantageous for fighting deep into the enemy's lair. ”
Fighting on two fronts? It may sound like that, but if the respective jobs are assigned from the start, then it is nothing more than a large-scale joint battle.
“…… Sure enough, it was Cheng's plan. ”
Lelouch was actually the first to react.
"I was still thinking about how to open the gap between the two battles and reduce the losses as much as possible, and the result was ...... I didn't expect that. ”
When he said this, the young man's purple eyes were full of smiles, but I didn't believe this guy's words at all.
Cut, say you wouldn't have thought of this? I think you have made up your mind to make both schools suffer losses in this battle, and you will be able to fulfill your ideal of world peace, right?
"Hey, wait a minute, don't play dumb riddles in front of Uncle Ben"
For me and Lelouch couldn't help but look at each other, Shinji Ikari on the side had already protested at the first time.
"Why didn't Uncle Ben see anything good about such a battle? Wouldn't it be a risk of total annihilation from the outset to conduct such operations at the same time? ”
“…… It's not like that. ”
Ritsuko Akagi gave a detailed explanation for the first time with the attitude of a bystander.
"The attacks of the Apostles often come at the same time as the attacks of the Beta clusters, and in fact, the attacks of the Beta clusters do not cause us much trouble......"
Ah, that's right, actually, from the very beginning, it was just intended to add a little bit of task to the first middle school.
The Apostle attack is inevitably accompanied by the BETA attack, and when the attack on the BETA brood is launched at the same time, the situation of the two-front battle is not only for us, but also for the beta to be anxious about how to deal with the situation.
Therefore, when taking advantage of the interval between the delaying apostle war, the BETA launched a surprise attack on the underground brood when a large number of people gathered on the ground, and after a successful blow, they returned to destroy the beta and the apostle, which was the most critical and easiest condition to achieve this battle.
"But...... The apostle, but he's getting stronger again and again, isn't he? It was very difficult for that guy to let Uncle Ben deal with it before, and now he is talking about delay...... Hell of procrastination."
…… It's very difficult, but in fact, if you let the first machine fight against the Angel of Force, maybe the next second will be dismantled, and even the gods in the shell will be turned into ashes, right?
It's just that this time, maybe the situation will be ...... Maybe it's different?
"The restoration of machine zero...... It should have been done, right? ”
This time, I will no longer continue to watch in such a leisurely manner, but will directly prepare to cut to the crux of the matter.
“…… The current repair of the outer armor has been completed by eighty-five percent, and as for the internal structure......"
Ah, I've seen the body of a god-man myself, and if that thing doesn't repair itself, then hell is it?
Although I don't know what kind of trick technique EVA uses, it's really thanks to Riko that she can grab such a big god and stuff it into this tin can, and control it in a special way......
“…… In short, in the next Apostolic War, three original airframes can be fought at the same time. ”
Then again...... This time, the pilot of the second plane is already the real Hippo, right?
Asuka's woman is really unlucky, although her previous personality was worse, but she has always been proud and proud of her identity as an "EVA driver".
Well...... So who is to blame? God knows what caused this woman to be infected with that intractable spores, and it is still unknown whether she is dead or alive......
"So, what about Ashford Academy?"
Removing the thought that made me sick just thinking about it, I looked at Lelouch again.
"I'm Ashford Academy...... At least three 8th Gen Knightmare and 1 Gen 9 Knight can be deployed in battle. ”
"What...... You don't want to hide your strength until now, do you? ”
Shinji Ikari stared at Lelouch in an unkind tone, and it was obvious that the boy was quite dissatisfied with Lelouxiu's refusal to go all out to participate in the war.
"It's not because of ...... The reason why I hide my secrets, you know......"
Instead of confronting Shinji Ikari that guy, Lelouch turned his attention to me again.
"In my Ashford School Park,But there is a heretical force called the White Knights.,Destroy and harass the school all the time......"
Cut, are you going to put the blame on my head?
Indeed, the backstage of the White Knights is already obvious, and as the remnants of the IS Academy under my banner, it is only natural that I will be led to the forefront by Lelouch intentionally or unintentionally.
Seriously,The bigger the action of Weaver Spot in Ashford School Park,The happier I am,But,At this juncture,If this guy continues to toss regardless of the overall situation,Then,If Lelouch plans to completely exterminate him,,I have to promise to help.。
"So, how about exterminating the White Knights before the war begins?"
"Oh? Makoto ...... Would you like to help? ”
"That...... There's no way around it, after all, the White Knights' way of fighting can't be countered with a large body......"
In a few words, I have reached a consensus with Lelouch - for smart people, whether it is to turn enemies into friends or friends into enemies, it is just a relationship of three or two sentences, not to mention, fighting together, it does not mean that the two of us will stand on the same front.
"Another ......"
When an agreement was reached, I also unceremoniously put forward my own conditions.
"Ashford Academy's latest flying wings, it should be able to complete the redemption for me now, right?"
"Ah, that's always been the responsibility of Nanali and Mirey's student council."
"There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you make sure that your friendship and reputation are up to par, even if it's Lelouch you...... You can also complete the distribution, right? ”
I smiled as I stated this fact as I motioned for the green-haired maid beside me, who stood with her head bowed respectfully, to crouch down on her leg and gently massage her muscles.
I thought that I needed to complete the strategy of someone in the student council to be able to meet this friendliness requirement, but I didn't expect that the friendliness obtained by abducting C.C from Lelouch's side was actually quite high......
"Maybe it's because of that woman?"
Xia Li, who was standing behind Lelouch, was still a little unaccustomed to this scene, but from the joy hidden in the girl's slightly surprised eyes...... C.C. This woman, it seems that the camp on the side of Lelouch is not likable?
In any case, after Lelouch and I also completed this final and most crucial mutual alliance, this time the battle plan was ...... It has also been finalized, as for the name of the operation......
"In the name of the general of the Huangwu Academy, I launched this counteroffensive battle in the season of cherry blossoms and withering, and named it 'Cherry Blossom Operation'" V
