Vol.223 Plot Acceleration...... One shot relieves a thousand sorrows......

(Shell 1...... Title: Fog ...... ）

Maybe at this time, it was only the apostles who launched an attack on the first middle school, right?

This thought,Just like the previous thought that Lelouch and Weaver Ichixia are dead, and Ashford School has been destroyed,It's like an established fact in my mind.。

In any case, the only enemy left is the Apostle, and attacking at this time seems to prove that the Apostle really wants to rely on the "unpredictable attack time" to fight a beautiful turnaround, and it is quite smart to attack at the moment when our strength is greatly reduced.

But...... As I hurried back to the command room, I found that the situation was completely different from what I had imagined.

"That...... What is it......"

No one answered me, and in fact, I am afraid that everyone else except me was also in a state of panic and confusion because of this sudden appearance of the "enemy", right?

Is that...... Unexpectedly, there has never been an enemy in the impression.

The incomparably huge, completely made of metal steel fortress, with a terrible oppressive force, suspended in the sky above the first middle school, its size is even enough to size the entire school park...... No, it should be said that it is larger than the ground area of the No. 1 Middle School.

Although it is impossible to see the whole thing because it hangs high in the sky, from the perspective displayed on the large screen, it looks like a Western sword with a complete body, hilt, and jaw, standing upright in the air, and there is the possibility of slashing directly to the ground in the most powerful way at any time.

"What the hell is ...... What's going on? Is that an apostle? ”

When I asked Ritsuko Akagi, who was solemn, again, I was incredulous in the answer.

"The ...... sent by the other party It is the identification signal of Ashford Academy. ”

"Huh?"

Are you kidding?

I knew that the near-all-metal structure couldn't have been an apostle, but even if I was in front of me with reinforcements from the higher levels of the alien creature BETA...... Ashford Academy? It's definitely ......

Wait a minute...... Perhaps, that is really Ashford Academy...... Maybe?

Although I have a thought in my heart that I don't want to believe in any way, I ...... On the huge fortress hanging high in the sky, the symbol that symbolizes the de facto ruler of Ashford Academy, the "Britannia Academy", stung my eyes brightly.

The hint of "this area is inaccessible" may not only mean that "Ashford School Park has been destroyed", but in the current situation, it seems more appropriate to interpret it as "Ashford School Park is in an inaccessible state".

Such a huge volume, coupled with the unique structure, and even on the exterior of the huge fortress, there are remnants of soil dirt that is obviously buried deep underground—it is obvious that this huge fortress was buried deep underground before, right?

Perhaps from the beginning...... The entire surface buildings of Ashford School Park are part of this huge fortress?

At the beginning, I had unrealistic fantasies about the underground structure of Ashford Academy.,Now,Including the "underground part" of Ashford School Park that I entered,I'm afraid it's just a huge fortress suspended in front of my eyes so far.。

Isn't the main building, with its distinctly Gothic spire, the sword-like tip of this massive fortress? If it is understood in this way......

"The other party...... Did you send out a newsletter? ”

My mind was racing and trying to put together the situation in a way I could understand.

There was a loud noise at the end of the communication, the "can't get into the area" prompt from Ashford Academy, the composure and calmness of the Lelouch guy throughout, and ...... The fact that the mark on my body called "the king's command" still remains......

Really...... That guy left himself such a big hole card.

"Not yet, since it appeared, it was just suspended in the air, but ......"

"How...... Is it under attack? ”

"It's not so much about being attacked...... It's better to launch a counterattack in self-defense, and the result is ......"

Ritsuko Akagi's face was no longer the usual smile, but a helpless wry smile.

"That thing's open protection...... Although the color is different, it seems to be ...... from the morphological flash is a force field similar to the absolute field. ”

…… Here it is again, although as long as it is a killer weapon that exists as the ultimate weapon, what it has must be an extremely powerful defense, yes, but......

When did this thing in the absolute realm flood to become so popular now?

Well, instead of pursuing such meaningless facts here, it would seem...... Is there something else you can do?

"Proactive...... Request a contact? ”

Ritsuko Akagi reacted after listening to my mention, and was slightly stunned.

"Indeed...... Now there is only this way, after all, no matter who the other party is, since he has not launched an attack until now, then there must be some purpose. ”

As for what this purpose is, I didn't say, and Ritsuko Akagi didn't say it, but at least I believe that the fact that came to my mind should probably be in Ritsuko Akagi's mind.

It is precisely because of this that this woman has not made that decision until now? After all......

『…… Is...... I'm sorry for visiting so rashly without prior notice.'"

The moment the communication was connected, Lelouxiu's smiling face with a kind smile had clearly appeared on the big screen.

"Sure enough...... I should have thought that you guys weren't so easy to get rid of, so ...... The guy who got it in the summer of Weaving Spots is really not a real detonation device, right? ”

When Lelouch's survival is confirmed, this most obvious fact can also be confirmed - in fact, it is believed that Lelouch really inadvertently put the weapon switch that is vital to his own lifeline into the hands of someone else, which is in itself my judgment because of Nanali's words for a moment of brain fever.

"It's really Makoto-san, have you thought of this thing?"

The Lelouch guy nodded slightly, and the smile on his face didn't change at all.

"Nanali, she's safe in this mobile fortress now, too? Damocles is above, so Makoto-san doesn't need to worry about her safety, as for Weaving Spots, that dear friend of mine......

"Ah...... I guess Lelouch didn't kill him, did he? ”

is completely different from the frenzied posture of Weaving Madara Yixia at the end, Lu Luxiu's words, I'm afraid he will not and disdain to make the final blow to Oriban Yixia, who is already a loser.

"After all, it's my best friend, and it's a little unbearable to want to start here—ah, of course, this time I didn't intend to talk about these things."

In the background of the picture, it seems that a young man sitting on a throne symbolizing power, with his back against the back of an ornate and exquisite velvet chair, waving his hand slightly.

"So, this time, my purpose is actually very simple...... No. 1 Middle School, can you join the Britannia School Union founded by me Ashford School Park with a gesture of peace and non-resistance?"

Really...... Are you coming?

Driving a huge, dubbed "Mobile Fortress?" The flying fortress of Damocles suddenly broke into the air of the first middle school, even if it was threatened because of a trivial rebellion just before this, I believe that with the character of Lelouch, he would not do such a rash thing lightly.

Then, there is only one meaning involved in breaking into other schools with strong force -- armed deterrence.

"Damocles...... Yes. ”

The huge fortress in the sky definitely has more than enough defense power to resist the attack of the First Middle School Defense System, after all, since Lelouch will regard this kind of thing as a killer weapon, then......

"Cut...... Things have come to this point. ”

Thinking of that, I suddenly became anxious.

"I am not willing to threaten with force if I can, but the losses caused by this battle are beyond what we can bear, and in such a situation, if a new order is not established with someone as the commander, then in the end there will only be defeat......

And then ...... Lelouch, do you think you're the right fit? ”

Even knowing the current situation, I can't help but unceremoniously refute this guy's high-sounding words.

"The most suitable ...... Candidate? No, no...... In my opinion, Makoto, who has always maintained a good relationship with the four schools, is such a candidate."

"Ah...... That means you're willing to take that thing with you and join me, right? ”

It really surprised me that Lelouch would say such a thing, although he is a peaceful fellow, but ah, the pride in this guy's bones is exactly the same as that of me who is unwilling to admit defeat.

"Makoto, you...... I don't think I understood what I meant.'"

Sure enough, when I uttered the provocative words, the boy couldn't help but smile again and shake his head.

"Admittedly, I'm not the best person to lead the four-school alliance, but ah......

Lelouxiu, whose smile stopped abruptly, suddenly became extremely majestic in his eyes.

"For now, I'm the one who commands the most powerful force in the alliance of the four schools, so that's enough."

Other words...... Because of this incident, Lelouch, who had been trying to integrate and unify in a more peaceful way, finally relented and embarked on another path.
