Almost at the same time as Zhang Yu started, in front of the special car on the opposite side of the artificial lake.

In order to rescue the hostages by destroying the hotel's foundations and sinking them underwater, Lancelot, equipped with VARIS (a reloading weapon that fires a threatening antimatter cannonball that destroys everything it touches), also starts to set sail towards the underground passage guarded by the Thunderbolt Battery.

"Do you want to join forces with me?"

ZERO, who was brought into the room where Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe was, looked at the important cadre of the radical faction in the Japanese Liberation Front in front of him.

Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe sat on the sofa, holding a katana in both hands. There were also two soldiers behind him, preventing Zero from doing anything to break through.

ZERO WAS THE FIRST TO SAY WHAT HE MEANT, AND OF COURSE, IT WAS JUST AN EXCUSE.

However, although this Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe seems to be a little simple-minded, he has the courage to commit a hijacking incident. And the preparation is quite sufficient, so that Cornelia is helpless, there are still some means. Although it is because of Euphemia, it is not all her role.

Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe did not answer Lelouch's question, but instead made his own request.

"At least show me who you really are, ZERO! Otherwise, it's too rude! ”

Outside the room were their own soldiers, and the other party's subordinates were also separated.

Kusakabe has enough confidence, even if the other party is the legendary prince who killed Britannia. He also led the Battle of Shinjuku, and with a rabble, he wanted the Britannian Army to fight the undefeated ZERO.

Lelouch didn't refuse, but he wouldn't reveal his true appearance so easily, he still had some questions to ask, and he didn't want to kill this grass wall so early.

"Got it! But before I do that, I want to ask, what are you pursuing at the end of this operation? ”

"Do you need to ask? Let the whole world know that the Japanese have not fallen yet. ”

Kusakabe replied proudly, his slightly bloated body with a hint of excitement in his declaration-like tone.

Faced with Kusakabe's answer, Lelouch shook his head in disappointment and sighed.

"It's stale!"

"Huh? What did you say! ”

Kusaobi's excited expression froze suddenly, and he asked gloomily.

"You're so old-fashioned, there's no way to save it!"

Lelouch repeated, adding a sentence that was even more irritating to the grass wall.

"Stink...... Stinky boy! ”

The soldier behind Kusami asked loudly. This is simply questioning their beliefs, and it is for the sake of their beliefs that they do such things regardless of life and death.

"What does that mean, ZERO?"

Hearing this, Kusakami had a premonition that something was wrong, and put his hand on the handle of the saber at his waist, and watched Lelouch's every move vigilantly.

Looking at the cautiously guarded grass wall, Lelouch chuckled under the mask and pronounced his death sentence. Since none of them have the possibility of being companions, there is no point in keeping them.

"Meaning, you're already going to die!"

"Hmph, I'd like to see who's dead, pretending to be a ghost!"

Completely unable to understand the meaning of Lu Luxiu's words, Kusakami finally lost his patience, violently got up from his seat, pulled out the saber at his waist, and slashed at ZERO on the opposite side.

"Die!"

In this short moment, Lelouch opened the device on his left and activated the power of GEASS, and the red firebird flew into the eyes of the rising Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe, distorting his will and mind.

At the same time, the terrorist soldiers waiting outside the gate heard the gunshots and began to move.

"Lieutenant Colonel!"

The soldiers outside the door shouted, their faces full of anxiety. Raising his leg and subconsciously kicked open the door and rushed into the room.

Then, before the soldier who rushed in was able to see the room clearly, he was shot in the shoulder. The submachine gun in his hand was also unable to grasp and fell to the ground, and the soldiers behind him were also holding guns at this Lelouch.

"Calm down."

The muzzle of the gun in Lelouch's hand was also aimed at the door, but he still spoke out to reassure them.

The soldiers at the door also paused when they heard Lelouch's words. Then he was stunned to see Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe, who committed suicide by kneeling on the ground, and the two soldiers behind him who committed suicide with robbery. They were all stunned, completely unexpectedly this outcome.

"Lieutenant Colonel, they cut themselves. After realizing that his actions were meaningless...... Sa, be my slave from now on, and take me to the place where I am held hostage. ”

Lelouch quickly opened the device on the left and activated the power of GEASS, and the red firebird flew into the eyes of the soldiers, distorting his will and mind.

In this way, the soldiers at the gate lined up on both sides, leading Lelouch to the warehouse where the hostages were held. They had barely gone when the communicator in Lelouch's pocket rang.

"How's it going? Karen! ”

"The bombs have been arranged, and they have begun to retreat, we ......"

Rumble!

At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded on the bridge outside. A white figure jumped out of the bottom of the lake, and the special rifle in his hand aimed at the foundation of the lower level of the hotel and fired four or five special shells in succession, instantly destroying the foundation that supported the hotel.

It was Lancelot, who had already broken through the underground passage, and the VARIS in Lancelot's hand fought against the electromagnetic cannon Thunderlight. As a result, VARIS was more than a step stronger, so Suzaku also successfully broke through the underground passage.

After destroying the foundations, the hotel will begin to sink within minutes. In this way, the hotel is not an easy to defend high ground.

The Britannia army at the door of the hotel also moved when they saw such a scene.

"What! Knightmare ......! ”

"Yes! The breakthrough has been successful! ”

The adjutant replied again with a solemn face.

No one expected that the special faction who was just used as a decoy actually broke through successfully!

"That Eleven......"

Thundered!

On the other side of the bridge, Conelia said in shock when she saw the hotel slowly sinking on the opposite side. Subsequently, the electrical system of the hotel began to cease functioning, especially in the central area where the hostages were held, reaching the same level as Cornelia.

"Guildford!"

Conelia instantly let go of her shock at Suzaku's success and turned back to her knight and shouted.

"Yes!"

Guildford, who was also stunned, heard the voice of the lord, instantly sobered up, and after returning to the cockpit, he was about to lead the pro-guard assault. SPECIAL ELEVEN, WHO DIDN'T EXPECT IT, ACTUALLY SUCCEEDED, SO HOW COULD THEY, AS A PRO-GUARD, STILL BE INDIFFERENT.

At this moment, the hotel is slowly sinking. Lelouch, who had just communicated with Zhang Yu, was standing by the window at the same height as Lancelot in mid-air, facing each other.

"Could it be...... ZERO！ ”

Lancelotrie, Suzaku exclaimed when he saw the only figure captured by the sensor.

"Is it the white mecha of that time!? Hmph, wait until my organization is formed. You can't be so arrogant! ”

Zhang Yu had thoroughly analyzed with Lelouch before why that white Knightmare was so strong.

Lelouch now knows, too. In the absence of equal combat power, this kind of existence is simply a trump card.

So I decided to leave him alone for now!

Lelouch under the mask of ZERO looked at Lancelot, who had jumped in front of the hotel, and took out the explosion activation device that had been prepared long ago from under his cloak and pressed it gently.

Boom boom!

The explosives installed by Karlian at various key points of the hotel exploded violently, burning the entire middle and upper floors of the hotel. The huge explosion immediately blew Lancelot, who rushed to the hotel to rescue, and ZERO's figure was immediately drowned in the dust of the explosion.
