4:25 a.m., Ashford Academy.

In the school conference room, ZERO-Lelouch is under the instruction. Having completed the suppression, the Diethart forces and the Fan forces sent reinforcements to reinforce the Fujido forces. As long as the military supplies seized from Britain by the Kyoto troops in the rear arrived, Fujido could immediately launch another offensive.

As a front-line commander and at the same time insightful, Fujido is naturally very aware of the importance of capturing the government office. In fact, to put it mildly, there is no need for the Honazel army defending the government hall to personally defeat the army of these black knights in front of them.

At this moment, the support of the British Empire is leading the Pacific Fleet to gradually approach Area 11, as long as this powerful reinforcement arrives, the British side can still choose to launch a sea, land and air encirclement and annihilation war, which is the last thing Lelouch and Fujido want to see.

Although the people are all on their side, once the British army arrives in the battle with the ruling army of District 11, the Black Knights, who are already inferior in strength, have no chance of winning.

At the very least, after the suppression of the strongholds in Sector 11, the defenses against Britain's own army must be strengthened. As long as there is a victory, the capture or defeat of Schunezel will inject strong morale into the entire 11th ward, not just the Tokyo Concession.

Conversely, if they fail to capture the Hall before the British reinforcements arrive, the Black Knights will be completely defeated. Both Lelouch and Fujido knew this.

In addition, the Cornellia runner-up is also rushing from Ishikawa to Tokyo, and it is expected to arrive in three to five hours.

Lelouch also knew Hunesel very well, and as a child in the British Palace, he was the only one Lelouch who never won in chess. It must not be taken lightly, and thankfully Honezel only came to Ward 11 to make rounds, so he didn't bring many troops with him.

But he alone is enough to be a thousand troops.

Schunezel, let's play another game.

In this battle, the British army only had to take care of the defense, while the Black Knights had to successfully capture.

So, of course, the British side set up a defensive formation, and Schunezel handed over the defense of the government hall to his own vehicle, the floating ship Avalon, and his responsibility was to use tactics in accordance with this principle.

Fujido, on the other hand, is based on a pre-emptive tactic with the goal of quick victory.

However, due to the absolute time constraints of this war, Fujido, who was originally good at flexible warfare, felt particularly difficult.

"Nina, are you still in the Ganymede warehouse......"

Mi Lei, who was under house arrest in the student council room, sat in a chair and said.

Livar shook his head when he heard this, and when he passed, the man was gone.

"It's still Teacher Yu's matter that is more of a headache...... Ah, what will we be like? ”

"It's fine."

Xia Li replied calmly. She rested her arms on the table and stared at a point in the air.

"Black Knights, no, ZERO will never hurt us."

I've already guessed that, judging from the clothes of those people just now, my father was saved by them during the Narita incident.

If Jade is the leader of these people, then ZERO can only be ...... He did.

"Why are you so sure?"

“……”

Xia Li didn't answer the question, and didn't even look back.

Miree glanced at her.

- Seems to have some basis.

However, she was like that just now, although she can take a posture of forcing questions now, but Xia Li shouldn't tell the truth.

No, that's fine. Since she had a reason to be so sure, it didn't hurt to believe it. And when Mi Lei confronted Zhang Yu before, she also felt that the Black Knights would not do anything to the students.

And after listening to Xia Li's words, Mi Lei also began to think that in her thoughts after this, there was another force that was more terrifying than the Black Knights.

Not someone else.

It was the British army on its own side. In a previous conversation with Zhang Yu, she said that the student was a hostage, and Zhang Yu did not deny it, that is, acquiesced.

Under normal circumstances, because Ashford's blood gathers the children of famous British families, Britain should not attack rashly, but Mi Lei thinks in her heart that this is not the case.

In short, it's just that this perception is naïve.

But Millet is a pure Briton, and the daughter of the famous Ashford family. From the moment she was born, she was able to see the whole country, both external and internal.

That ZERO often says things like that.

Britain is a country where the strong trample on and the weak are above the weak, which is the greatest flaw and the most unforgivable part of Britain.

In fact, if you look at it personally, Mi Lei doesn't disagree with Zero's remarks.

In fact, when Suzaku transferred to Ashford Academy, he suffered a lot of white eyes from other students because of his Japanese identity. But because Lelouch and Nanali and the other members of the student council were on his side, his situation was much better.

No matter how active he is in the army, even if he is the pilot of the strongest Knightmare, Suzaku is still the 'weakling' in this school. It is a common impression that British students, who are strong, bully Japanese students who are weak.

And what subverted this impression was the student council members centered on President Mi Lei.

But this is a personal idea after all, and Millet, who has lived in the country of Britain since childhood, thinks so.

It is precisely because of the cruel fact that the strong bully the weak that Britain has become as strong as it is today – and from a humanitarian point of view, Britain's posture is completely 'evil'. But this 'evil' part has to do with Britain, or perhaps it should be said, with the strength of the British army

Closely connected. The reason why the British army was able to win the war with the armies of all countries in the world was not only because of the national strength and advanced weapons development technology, but also because the British soldiers were able to be completely ruthless.

For example, a war requires a commander to use his own people as bait. In a country like the European Union, a democracy, even if the war can be won, if the decoy forces are wiped out, the commander will be criticized.

But this will never happen in Britain, on the contrary, it will be commented that the bait is dead because they are too weak, and the commander did a good job. Another example is when the enemy takes his own people hostage.

To most British commanders, they generally didn't mind as long as the hostages weren't of particular importance. They will not hesitate to give the order for a general attack. The country that does not disparage or praise this kind of behavior is Britain.

It's always been a terrible country, and Mirei thinks she doesn't think about it at all. But in this country, there are moments when people forget that they are human, especially in a pinch.

In any case, there was no point in using the lives of hostages as shields in battle with the British army.
