Chapter 252: The Orange Knight's Fury
The news of ZERO leading the Black Knights to launch a surprise attack instantly spread throughout the Britannia Army.
βZEROοΌβ
The man who shouted like this and suddenly activated Knightmare was Jeremia Gothbard.
He was once an ace driver of the Ruling Army of District 11 and the leader of the Purebloods.
and, after the death of the former Governor Clovis, he served as Acting Consul of the 11th District, and his name was also known to the world. But now, he has become a man who has repeatedly fallen because of ZERO and the Black Knights...... That may be an exaggeration.
But his life is undoubtedly ruined by a theatrical criminal named ZERO, who has reduced him to a miserable clown.
Because of ZERO, because of that Orange! made him the laughing stock of the whole army!
So, of course, the hatred of ZERO in his heart can be imagined.
There seemed to be a flame beating in Jeremia's eyes, and the whole person seemed to be burning!
"It came out just right! ZEROοΌ β
"Jeremia! Do not leave without permissionββ! β
Veretta's stop shouts were heard over the communicator, but he couldn't hear them anymore.
"This is a very moment! If you want to soar, come with me!! β
Standing in a place where you can see the battlefield in the distance, you can see the battle situation through the mask.
"There's no way back for Cornelia."
"Huh? Why? β
The amber eyes showed a puzzled look, and Zhang Yu didn't tell her much about the war. So now she only knows a little about the battle situation, looking at Zhang Yu, who is still pretending to be deep and not speaking.
With a pout, he instantly took off Zhang Yu's skull mask.
There was no defense, and he was still immersed in contacting Xiao Qi, who was monitoring Lelouch from a distance. All of a sudden, I got it.
A gust of wind blew on Zhang Yu's face, and the bangs on his forehead were blown away by the wind.
Zhang Yu had a helpless look in his eyes,.γ
"What are you doing,.γ Stop playing, give me back the mask. β
Holding the mask in one hand, he played with it, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Who told you to ignore me?"
"Well, it's not that I'm ignoring you. I'm watching the game and we're going to be on the pitch soon. β
Zhang Yu spread his hands helplessly, and then pointed to the side where the sound of gunfire was coming.
"So what's going on now? You won't tell me about it, and you're not allowed to go out and have a look. I'm dying of boredom. β
Now it's like a little girl who is being spoiled, playing with a little character.
"Peace of mind, it's coming. Lelouch and they have already started to act. We'll just take it over later, and we'll be done soon. β
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yu's mouth, but there was a little heat in his eyes.
I'll get you right away!

At the top of Mt. Narita, Lelouch smiled and drove the Knightmare down the slope. The unexpected surprise attack made his strategy indeed deal a heavy blow to the British army, who thought highly of themselves.
According to information released afterwards, about 5,200 British officers and soldiers were injured in this war.
Whether this number is large or small depends entirely on the official interpretation. However, judging from the facts, it is still too early to judge the defeat of the invincible British army from this war.
Rather, no one side really won this war.
Why?
Indeed, Lelouch dealt a heavy blow to the British army, which had always had an overwhelming advantage, through an unexpected surprise attack.
However, judging from the current state of implementation, counting the reserve army of the British army at that time, there were still about ninety percent of the strength left.
Although the Dalton forces suffered a direct landslide with a damage rate of more than eighty percent, if the commanders who escaped under the protection of Knightmare's armor and the remaining forces are counted together, they can still be considered a relatively complete force, and those that did not suffer a direct disaster fared much better.
Not to mention the Black Knights, who participated in the battle halfway, the Japanese Liberation Front, which was originally stationed in the Narita Mountains, had already suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle against the British Army, and through this battle, the strength of the Japanese Liberation Front quickly declined, and even made people worry about whether it would eventually collapse.
Therefore, it is self-evident that its losses are heavy. To sum up, the original intention of the British army to "defeat the Japanese liberation front" was half achieved.
But on the contrary, because of this, it is impossible to judge that the winner of the battle is the British army.
Although the news announced by Commander-in-Chief Cornelia and others was not mentioned, they all thought so in their hearts. In the case of having an absolutely superior army and weapons, it was actually counterattacked by the enemy so dramatically in the end. This so-called victory really cannot be recognized from the bottom of one's heart.
So what about the Black Knights, who have suffered the least losses from the strength of the two sides?
Lelouch's strategy did deal a heavy blow to the British army, which thought highly of itself.
However, Lelouch and the Black Knights did not end up attacking the Britannica, but arresting their commander, Cornelia.
Of course, this goal will be achieved soon β it will be an easy job that is easy to grasp.
The mudslides that shook the ground finally stopped, and the situation on the battlefield became more chaotic. At this time, ZERO led the Black Knights, a new force, and rushed straight down from the mountain.
"Cornelia's reinforcements are limited, break through in one fell swoop!"
Lelouch, who also took on a sharp formation, used his driving skills to surpass that of humans, and crushed all the enemies that stood in his way. Under his opening, the morale of the other members of the Black Knights was also greatly boosted, and they were already fighting against the water, but at this moment, they were even more unstoppable.
"Oh, let's have a blast!"
"Kill one to be enough, and two will earn!"
The members of the group, who had been a little timid before, shouted loudly with excitement when they saw that the development of the battle situation was exactly the same as ZERO predicted.
Behind them, where they were not affected by the mudslide, Inoue also took all the members of the regiment except the Knightmare, carrying rocket artillery and infantry equipment, covering the assault of the ZERO, as well as ambushing the reinforcements of the opposing side.
The Karius team, which was supporting Cornelia's location, was soon ambushed, and the red mark of LOST appeared on Britannia's strategic dashboard.
"The Karius team is all gone? Before ZERO touches Her Highness Cornelia, you're going to make a decision! β
At this time, the news of the total destruction of the Karius team finally calmed down Jeremia. In order to wash away his stigma, Jeremiah can only prove it with ZERO's life.
And all of this must be resolved before ZERO arrives at Cornelia.
Because Jeremiah thinks that if ZERO goes over in person, there will be nothing to do with him. The ZERP will definitely be dealt with by Cornelia and her personal guards.
"Jeremia!"
At this time, behind Jeremia, Veretta and other knights of the original pureblood faction also followed.
"Veretta, you're here too!"
Jeremiah smiled excitedly, and now he was more confident.
ZERO, I'm sure to catch you this time!
