"Yufie!"

Seeing that the entire building was engulfed in a violent explosion, Cornelia on the other side of the bridge let out a cry of despair.

Suzaku in the cockpit of Lancelot also shouted when he saw this scene: "Everyone! ”

As soon as Lancelot, who was blown away by the air waves, landed, he ignored the collapsing building, and rushed into the billowing smoke of the explosion without thinking, even with Lloyd's "Stop!" behind him. None of the orders were heard.

Boom Boom Boom ......

After the blasting of the middle floor, the damaged building collapsed almost halfway, and it took a long time for the aftermath of the explosion to dissipate, and the dust dispersed, revealing a hotel that had been completely in ruins, as bleak as the buildings in the slums outside the concession.

In the dust, a white figure appeared in front of the half-collapsed building tilting, standing there alone, with an extremely depressed back.

It's Lancelot!

"Suzaku!"

In the rear, Lancelot was seen intact from the screen, and both Lloyd and Cecil breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the moment, in Lancelot's cockpit, Suzaku, who was lucky not to be swept up in the collapsed building, was in complete reverse. Looking at the building on the screen that had completely turned into a pile of ruins, he wept faintly.

"I couldn't save them! I...... I...... ...... again"

Bang!

Suzaku slammed his fist on Lancelot's bridge, tears of remorse rolling down his eyes, and Suzaku hated his powerlessness.

It's just that miracles always happen in the most desperate moments of people! Countless people who are as grieving and desperate as Suzaku are immersed in the pain of the death of their loved ones, and an inexplicable image, or video, appears on TV and screen.

It was from the Miyoshi camera car that the Ministry of Information had seized by ZERO.

Detohart, who had long guessed Operation ZERO, had switched all the TV and channels connected to the TV station to camera No. 3, and the video broadcast by this channel was also directed to the entire 11th District.

The images that appear on countless TV and street screens are the figure of ZERO who once caused a sensation!

"That's ZERO!"

In the center of the crowded city, all the pedestrians stopped and watched.

"Britannians, don't panic!"

ZERO's voice came from within, drawing people over who were immersed in the pain of the explosion of the hotel and the loss of their loved ones and compatriots.

"I've rescued all the hostages trapped in the hotel!"

With ZERO's explanation, the hostages sitting on the lifeboat on the lake appeared on the screen, and the people who had just fallen into the grief of losing their loved ones and compatriots immediately cheered in unison, and some Britannian citizens who saw that their families were safe and sound, and even more tears of excitement were shed.

From despair to hope, this strong emotional contrast makes their mood swings very intense, and the gratitude for ZERO also penetrates their souls. ZERO, that's what you need. Of course, this plan almost failed because of Suzaku's indiscriminate entry.

"I'll get them back to you!"

"Everyone!"

Suzaku cried tears of joy when he saw that everyone in the student council was fine.

However, among the grateful crowd, there are still a few people who have seen through ZERO's "conspiracy".

"Obviously scared, you dare to take credit! If I attack you, I'll take the hostages again! ”

Cornelia is one of them, she vents her disdain and dissatisfaction with ZERO to the fullest, but she doesn't dare to expose the other party's "conspiracy" because of the mouse trap.

After proving that what he said was true, the image on the screen shifted back to ZERO. It's just that at this time, the camera that opened up also took a picture of ZERO's back.

Under the bright lights, a group of mysterious people dressed in costumes similar to ZERO appear behind him, lined up, each wearing a mask-like mask on their faces, and wearing a black and mysterious uniform.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Fear us and follow us! Our name is - Black Knights! ”

This is the first time that ZERO has announced his organization to the world, and it is also the spark that Lelouch intends to form to rebel against Britannia rule in the open.

"Knights?"

Cecil, who was in the distance, repeated in surprise when he heard the organization announced by ZERO.

"It's ironic that a terrorist calls himself Knight!"

Lloyd stared at the Black Knights on the screen, smiling sarcastically.

Like Lloyd, Cornelia's party, as well as the Narita Japanese Liberation Front, who were also watching the video, and even the Kyoto Rokuya in Kyoto, were puzzled by the fact that ZERO, who was a rebel, had formed a knightly order similar to Britannia.

But then, they knew why ZERO had declared their organization "Knights".

"We, the Black Knights, are the companions of the unarmed!"

From the ship floating on the lake, ZERO's manifesto for his organization, or the purpose of the Black Knights, came out.

"WHETHER IT'S ELEVEN, OR IT'S THE Britannians! The despicable captivity of the British civilians of the Japanese Liberation Front as hostages and the brutal killing of such acts is meaningless! That's why we gave them sanctions! ”

"The former governor of Clovis was the same, ordering the slaughter of the unarmed Eleven. I could not sit idly by and watch such brutality, so I sanctioned him. ”

"I will not deny the war. However, the strong blindly abuse and kill the weak! I will not allow it!

The only people who can shoot are those who are conscious of being killed!

When the strong bully the weak, we will reappear. No matter how powerful that enemy is. ”

ZERO's tone was stronger than ever, and the entire image spread to almost the entire 11th District. At this time, Zhang Yu, Xia Li and Mi Lei, who were watching ZERO on the lifeboat, also looked up at ZERO up close.

Partners in justice? It's just to win hearts and minds. The power of the masses is great, and without the help of the masses, any force will be just a floating cloud after all.

If you think about it, you can't control this organization.

Then it's mine!

Zhang Yu looked at Lu Luxiu with a hint of a smile, and the plan in his heart had slowly begun to unfold.

Under the mask, Lelouch opened his hands to the left and right, as if to embrace the world, loudly announcing himself and his will.

"Fear us, you who have power! Those who have no power, follow us! World...... It will be up to us the Black Knights to arbitrate! ”

I see, is that what you're really for!

ZERO！

Bang!

On the other side of the lake, Cornelia slammed her fist into Gloucester's armor.

This hijacking incident completely became a stage for ZERO to declare his organization and purpose, and it was a perfect excuse for him to kill Clovis. Anyway, Britannia's inaction, as well as the massacre of the last Shinjuku incident, were also thoroughly exposed.

It is conceivable that after this incident, ZERO, and the Black Knights established by ZERO, will become an important organization in District 11. Not only in Eleven, but also in Britannia's moderates, the existence of the Black Knights will be acquiesced.

The stability she had spent a week creating was completely shattered by ZERO's action.
