“ZERO！？”

The moment the door opened, the men stood up and took a fighting stance. But on the other hand, Lelouch said quite calmly.

No, it's the command.

"Relax, I'm just here to negotiate - you can just ignore it, ignore all the anomalies."

In this case, the men who served as guards were useless, and in a sense, they could no longer be called sentinels.

Geass—looking at the other's glasses and giving an order, only once, can make anyone obey his absolute power-

Very useful, indeed.

The men sat back down as if nothing had happened. In the not-so-spacious guard's cabin, table games to kill time have resumed. There was no Lelouch in their eyes anymore. Ordered to ignore all anomalies, even if the men died, they wouldn't have been able to detect anything anomalous.

By the way, they were not British soldiers, on the contrary, but members of the Japanese Liberation Front. It's already a mountainside. belongs to their range of potential forces. Of course, they have to spy on foreign enemies. But this seemed to Lelouch to be no threat at all, and he had been using the same means to deceive the surveillance of the British and Japanese liberation fronts, no matter who the other party was, if it was face to face, no one could be Lelouch's enemy - of course, he had to be able to see the other person's eyes, because this was a limitation of ability. If there are too many people, there will be a lot of inconvenience.

The limit is about 10 people.

This is indeed a very convenient amount of force.

But this is not the amount of strength that you get through your own efforts, and every time you think that this is something that someone else has given you, you will feel a little unhappy. Every time I use it, I feel indebted, and it's really uncomfortable.

Not really.

"What's next—"

Throwing aside the men who were chatting and playing games, Lelouch sent a signal to the foot of the mountain through the mirror reflection of the window of the hut, signaling that the members of the Black Knights, such as Fan and Hua Lian, could come up. They will take a different route than Lelouch, which is the blind spot where Lelouch uses Geass to make - the only unguarded road.

"Condition Complete...... Cornelia. It's finally the day. "Of course, what Lelouch remembers is not forbidden here, and there are also those outsiders who are mixed in the Black Knights, hmph, since you choose to enter this team, then the next choice is no longer what you can want, is it a condition? Heh, is it an equivalent exchange? Lelouch unconsciously remembered the conversation he had had earlier in the room with the woman named C.C.

"The amount of power given to you seems to be a good one, Lelouch." That's probably her opening remark when she enters the room, but that's about it, of course. All that remains is to watch Lelouch's reaction.

Who is she? I don't know, it's just that the advice she said, it's not impossible to give it a try, and if you give yourself the strength, you shouldn't betray yourself, this mysterious woman. So in equal terms, those people were put on the scales of abandonment by her. A deal?

"I can tell you where these people come from. You're smart, and you can't go wrong guessing. The woman with her turquoise hair was as sexy as a fairy said, with absolute confidence in her supreme dignity.

"Tell me who that person is next to you?" Lelouch also said unceremoniously, in fact, he had trusted the woman in front of him, she inadvertently shook her hand in front of the man's eyes, and then a layer of transparent eye mask was taken off. Lelouch felt that his back was a little soaked, but he was not panicked, he could feel that this woman had no ill will towards him.

"He's the only one... All I can say is sorry. C.C.'s feminine face betrayed firmness. Let Lelouch understand that it is not easy to find out the details of that man.

"And your purpose?" Lu Lu Xiu knew that the other party would not come to him for no reason to chat, since he had already handed over such important information to himself, it was obvious that the other party also had his own purpose.

"Exclude dissent, except... Outside of that man. ”

A girl with long hair was casually walking around the neighborhood, looking in the direction of the foot of the mountain as if she were walking. It's not good - it makes people feel like she will just shout "Yahoo-" like this, there is no tension at all, in fact, this is already the front line of combat, but every time she sees C.C. outside the room passing by like this, Lin Xiu has an urge to strangle the other party.

"This is the new contractor?" Tifa sat in the wooden house, her feet kicked along the edge of the bed, sometimes by Lin Xiu's side, she would inadvertently reveal some of the habits of a little woman, which was a little different from her previous mature side, but this was also the performance of a girl in love, mature and stable in front of outsiders, but there were some little birds in private.

"Well, a very troublesome fellow." Lin Xiu said with a headache, whenever he remembered that C.C. had concluded some kind of inseparable contract with him, he felt an indescribable uncomfortable, but he did not deny that after Lu Luxiu's review was passed, he was a little grateful to the other party.

"Pretty cute, and... It's beautiful. Tifa's words were soft and calm, but they fell on Lin Xiu's ears and were a little unnatural, and he hurriedly turned around to explain, but saw Tifa's eyes that seemed to be smiling, and he realized that he was being teased by Tifa again.

"Well, I know what kind of person you are, but... It's not your own fight, you know? I don't want you to be so nervous all the time, I'm a little distressed..."Tifa said, burying her head in Lin Xiu's chest, although this slender body is not spacious, but she knows that this is her best resting harbor, she is really a little unbearable, for Lin Xiu, Tifa is very clear, emotionally, a single-minded alien like him is almost extinct.

However, the pressure that Lin Xiu has to carry, even Tifa can't fully understand, she can only feel that kind of powerlessness and struggle, if it were someone else, I'm afraid that the spirit would have collapsed a long time ago, but when she thought of all these things that Lin Xiu carried, she felt an inexplicable pain and self-blame.

"Good. Everything will be fine. Lin Xiu stroked Tifa's soft hair, and his eyes became extremely cold, maybe this is the simplest dialogue between lovers, but for him, a person who has never tasted a trace of emotion since he was a child, any sentence will be followed like a promise.

The door slowly opened, and a young man walked in. He is tall and tall. Whether it's the jacket he's been wearing for a long time or the jeans, from the outside, this person is no different from an average student. But actually. He's a few years older. It is worth mentioning that although he is a bit too old and good, it is precisely because of that gentle personality that he has a good prestige among the team, and this person is a fan.

"That man has another piece of information coming in."

After taking a seat in the chair in front of Lelouch. Fan said straight to the point.

"It's the guy named Diethardt—nay, ZERO. Honestly. I don't think I should trust that man too much......"

"I've got my own sense of what to do about it." Lelouch replied unceremoniously.

"So, what is the so-called intelligence?" Fan hesitated slightly and then said.

"The British army may leave later. According to previous information, the operation was supposed to be scheduled for the weekend, but now it seems likely that it will be postponed until early next week. Lelouch couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know what to do. The man had no way of knowing that. But he asserted that the plan must have been postponed. ”

"Hmm......" is a bit of a concern.

Cornelia should have begun to formulate a plan for the suppression of the Japanese liberation front a long time ago. Since the decision is to be put into practice, there should be considerable certainty. But it's all come to this point, but it has disrupted the action plan. What the hell is going on?

"Well, after all, the other party also has the other party's reasons......"

"What to do? Do you want to wait and see what happens? ”

"No—" Lu Lu corrected his tilted head, waving away the doubts in his mind.

"Although I do care a little bit...... But on the other hand, there was more time to prepare for the assault on our side. Although a little doubtful. But you should still be thankful. ”

"...... so"

"Keep the original plan unchanged, fan." Hearing this, Fan's face was a little ugly.

Originally, this young man was not in favor of this battle. Although he did not object to it in person, he apparently felt that the plan was not well considered.

- It's normal for the other person to think this way. However, it is precisely because of this that Lelouch must do it.

"Compared to this, fan, you go and sort out a copy of the situation around Narita and leave it to me."

"The situation is ......" fan's face tightened more and more.

"It goes without saying that the roads are full of British checkpoints, and the woods are full of British scouts. However, the complete blockade will still be carried out after the army starts to operate. ”

"I know this. What I want is their specific location. This includes the specific distribution of checkpoints and the specific configuration of scouts. ”

"What is this going to do? Could it be that the other side will take advantage of the war with the Japanese liberation front to launch a surprise attack from behind - then it would be too chaotic. ”

"Hehe—it's impossible to flank it. Don't you know that very well, fan? Indeed, the so-called flank operation must be premised on the precise coordination of the two sides, and the number of troops must reach a certain number in order to be effective. For the current Black Knights and the Japanese Liberation Front, they will only be easily defeated by the enemy. ”

"So ......"

"I never considered the option of pinching. I'm thinking of the opposite...... Oh, yes. ”

At this time, Lelouch spread his hands as if he was acting.

After smirking behind the mask—

"Although there is a slight difference in meaning, it can also be called 'self-throwing into the net'. That's why we're secretly getting through Britain's net. Of course, the reconnaissance network of the Japanese Liberation Front was no exception. ”

- By the strength of Geass.

Only this sentence was not told to the fan, and after knowing that the other party was an absolutely loyal party, maybe after this battle, Lelouch would be able to completely clear the hidden dangers of the Black Knights, no matter how powerful those people were, but after all, it was also an untrustworthy factor, he wanted to take revenge on that man, under this premise, he had become extremely cold-blooded, especially every time he thought of that mask. He'll feel creepy.

"Do you want to choose one of us? C.C.” Lelouch muttered to himself, and the eyes under the mask became unusually cold.

The flanking attack was never what he wanted, the idea of revenge had taken over all his soul, and for the Japanese who had no soul and only knew how to create panic, Lelouch didn't have much affection, he was just a hypocrite, playing the role of ZERO, telling false justice in a grand manner, and he was completely prepared at the moment when he decided to stand on this battlefield. All of them are just his pawns, including C.C.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Karene sat in the mecha room and asked aloud, not because she was bored, but that women who had just fallen in love usually had endless words to say. Especially in such a tense atmosphere.

"Huh? Nothing, just. It's just something simple. By the way, you're going to have to hide behind me when the fight starts. Zhang Yi manipulated the repair equipment and kept tinkering on Ka Lian's mecha, what exactly was done, Ka Lian didn't know anything, although this young man gave her a sense of mystery countless times, but this kind of high-end thing. Wouldn't it be a little too reluctant? Forget it, let him be, just be happy, after all, after choosing to join this Black Knights. Half of their lives had already been handed over, especially after hearing this, Ka Lian's fierce gaze became extremely tender, but unfortunately the mecha cabin was isolated, and Zhang Yi couldn't see anything.

"Underestimating a woman will make you regret it." Although his face is full of tenderness, he will not be polite in his mouth, just kidding, this is a public channel, and any word will be heard by others.

"Ha Luha, our little man knows how to love his girlfriend very well." Sure enough, even so, there were still ridiculous words in the channel, and for a moment, Karen felt that her face was like a red apple, and the most damn thing was that this guy didn't make a sound.

Can't you be like a man, and talk about what you want to deny in your heart? Karen thumped the control wheel a little angrily.

"Whew, it should be foolproof now." Zhang Yi wiped the sweat on his head, and breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the accelerator he loaded behind the Kalian mecha, although he didn't know what the reason was, he didn't send the Red Lotus Second Style, Zhang Yi still used his own command and found some equipment in the Red Moon Base for modification, this kind of future technology is really nothing in his eyes, he is born with it, and he is familiar with it, so that the speed of the Kalian mecha can be increased several times.

"Xiao Er, did you just say that you manipulated it like this? Press the red button? There was a simple inquiry from the communication channel, but Zhang Yi felt sweaty suddenly, because the monk had unknowingly aimed the muzzle of the mecha at his body.

"Bald... Donkey, if you dare to press the red button now, I guarantee that the graves of your eighteenth generation ancestors will smoke. Zhang Yi was really speechless, this thin body... Once the monk presses the red button, it will be absolutely 100% gone, well, this is a cross-century joke, a monk with six impure roots sitting in the mecha ready to charge, God, can you have something more exciting?

"Cover the mech with green grass..."

"Stupid... I mean, use your hands, don't pee as a dog!! Zhang Yi covered his forehead in pain, I really don't know why Lu Dao put this idiot in a group with himself.

It took more than ten minutes to finally teach this bald donkey to barely walk, well, as long as you don't shoot yourself, everything is fine...

There is no trace of the enemy on the screen, but Zhang Yi's palms are already full of beads of sweat, but he knows that the pressure on his side is relatively light, because those veterans have completely borne the pressure in the past, they don't even need mechas, sooner or later, I will also become your companion, no longer the object of protection, because..., I also have someone to protect, don't you, take out the mobile phone of your time, Kalian's playful face has already become a screensaver, just these, He doesn't know how to express it in words.

"Monk, hide behind me for a while." Zhang Yi suddenly felt that the battle factor in his body was a little impatient.

"Is that so?" Through the rear view, Zhang Yi found that the bald donkey sat behind him in an extremely coquettish posture, and a green grass covered him like a soil dog, but he even made a coquettish posture, and his fingers made a "V" shape, damn it, he obviously didn't even master the control and shooting. How did I learn such a two-way pose?

"Well, you win." Zhang Yi sighed weakly.

With a swing of her lightsaber, Cornelia slashed at Knightmare in her way. A heavy, sharp blow inflicted heavy damage on the belly of the enemy plane, and the Knightmare, a modified aircraft from the old British Glasgow, slammed into the rocks. Cornelia raised her lightsaber and stabbed it head-on.

Before the other party even had time to make an emergency escape, the body exploded.

"I was expecting a little bit of it, but I didn't expect it to be so." Reverting the Gloucester pose, Cornelia smiled with a warrior's expression.

Just as she thought, as she intended. The only regret is the route of his troops. Slightly deviated from the enemy's base camp.

Although it is such a small step wrong, it has no impact on the big picture, and it doesn't matter. The army under her command will only move in the direction of victory.

At the same time, on the other side of the hill, Knightmare's troops, led by Dalton, also managed to break through the enemy's most exposed rear line.

The order was sent to the infantry units behind, and the entrance to the enemy's warehouse was inside that hill.

"Yes."

"Wait until we're done destroying Glasgow outside. Burst in immediately. ”

"Won't you make peace with the Governor's troops?" Dalton laughed boldly as he fired a burst of assault rifle shots.

"It seems that I will be the first to attack the enemy's base camp. It is a pleasure to serve a generous monarch. Don't you think so? ”

"Definitely. Well, we'll see you later. The other party who corresponded to him also replied with a smile, and most importantly, they had this composure.

Generally speaking, the tide of war is moving in a predetermined direction, and Britain has an absolute advantage. So. It's a bit premature, but it's not for nothing that Dalton and Cornelia would say that.

"There's a lot of anti-government power in District 11—" Dalton muttered to himself, driving his Gloucester forward.

"—that's it." On the slope where there were no enemies, Cornelia laughed.

But. Then. Someone lit the wolf smoke of the counterattack above their heads. For the other side, this is a back-to-back battle.

Instead of attacking from behind British, who were attacking the Japanese liberation front, they threw down their positions and jumped themselves into the middle of the encirclement, the central point to which the British army was gradually approaching, the top of the hill.

There is nowhere to escape, and the situation is not only at an absolute disadvantage, or even hanging by a thread. If you want to survive, there is no other way but to repel the enemy in front of you. This is the dying throes.

Of course, there are many dangers involved, and it is a wrong tactic in itself. Soldiers who give up on themselves and do not obey the orders of their commanders are no longer able to play the role of soldiers, they have no fighting spirit at all, and some may surrender in defiance of the instructions of their superiors. Essentially, a sneak attack is suicidal, a strategy within a strategy

Therefore, this tactic will not succeed, although there are very few examples of success, but it is almost a 1 in 10,000 probability, so it will be left in the history of war as a special case.

But just because there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of success, it can't all be attributed to chance. Success must have its reasons for success, its calculations, and its clear rationality.

In that case, it can also be said that they have one thing in common - they are all rational and have been completely calculated. The spirit of the people was on the verge of collapse, and the fear and despair of death began to turn into a desperate desire for life.

It is enough to tilt their will towards the other elements.

In front of the abyss of despair, as long as they are depicted with a little dazzling hope, fear will instantly turn into courage and enlightenment, and the fighting spirit will be poured out to the greatest extent. This is the case with the so-called extreme of things. When people think it's impossible, when they have the idea of making it possible, they become excited and desperate.

But what is needed in order for them to have this kind of thinking? Snake eyes.

The first is trust in commanders.

This commander should be able to do something for us, he should be able to bring us something. This kind of thinking, while sometimes in danger of over-reliance, is still an absolute and indispensable element on the battlefield.

And the second point -

A clear strategy to show them hope, and the results.

Very good! You're all set! Black Knights, all on deck! ”

Sitting in the cockpit of Glasgow's modified mech, the Rogue Knightmare, Lelouch rang the opening bell.

The members responded with shouts and roars.

"Now we are going to launch a surprise attack on the British army at the top of the mountain, and we are under my command. Rush to the third place in one go. The purpose of the battle is to arrest Cornelia, the second princess of Britain! With me as a decoy, the first group blocked, the second group flanked, and the third group went deeper. ”

There was a tense atmosphere in the institute.

"Hurry up, this place will be a battlefield in a few days." A man in a bespectacled suit is sweating profusely and directing his subordinates. In front of him, many researchers were busy running around. Some people are piling up equipment on forklifts, some are backing up data from giant computers, and some are just running around with cardboard boxes.

At this moment, a young man who looked like a subordinate stopped. Said a little dejectedly. "Deputy Director, this is impossible, it is necessary to move so much equipment in a few days......"

"I know it." The bespectacled man giving orders had a sad expression.

"However, the director did not hesitate to ask the 'lord' to delay the departure of the army by a few days. We must do our best. He can't let his hard work go to waste. ”

"But ......"

"If you get close to the terrorists' power, the Ombudsman can't get in at will—although it's a double-edged sword. But I never expected this moment to come so soon...... One way or another. If this plan is known to the current ruling army, everyone here will be doomed. ”

The young man was silent.

The bespectacled man looked at him with a gentle expression and said.

"When you've packed up to a certain extent, you should retreat as soon as possible. I'll leave the rest to me and the director. ”

“…… Please don't say that. This is our job, how can we let the director take care of the aftermath for us alone. ”

"That's right...... I'm sorry. The bespectacled man bowed his head deeply.

The young man smiled merrily and turned to leave. But. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he stopped again.

"Huh? It's ......"

"Hmm-this." Following the other's line of sight, the man with glasses picked the object up from the white table. Photo frames and photos. The photo shows a man with glasses, and next to him is a girl from a high school grade with crossed hands. and a middle-aged woman who looks very similar to her.

"Is it a picture of your family?"

"Well, I don't have much time to pack up the dead man's belongings, so I want to at least take this one away."

"Wow, your daughter is so beautiful, can she be my girlfriend?"

"Hey, hey." Although he was blaming the young man, he was secretly happy for the other party's words of praising his daughter. For the first time, the bespectacled man showed his usual smile.

"You're less stinky and beautiful, and she used to say when she was a kid, 'I'm going to be Daddy's bride.'" Such cute words. ”

"Girls are probably like that."

"I guess I have a boy I like at school now."

"That's why girls are like that. So what's her name? The man with the glasses smiled even more.

"Ahh Charlie? Finnet. Well, that's a good name, right? ”

"This must be some kind of signal." Some of the new members of the Black Knights looked at the dark-skinned man and took out a simple bow and arrow, okay, the only difference is that the style is novel, but no matter how novel it is, it can't change the essence of the bow and arrow, and it is not as obvious as a pistol to send a signal in this way, holding back the disdain in his heart, a new member of the Knights asked out loud.

"It can be understood as some kind of signal." Tan Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders and adjusted his vision without squinting, although his ability was compressed to twenty percent, but if he could hit the key point with one blow, he needed to put a little pressure on himself, otherwise, he touched the necklace around his neck, he remembered his promise.

"Uh, wouldn't it be better to use a pistol?" The people around him asked aloud, maybe this mountain village man didn't know about the existence of the road pistol, no wonder Japan was invaded by Britannia, and the companions were still such primitive weapons, and the defeat of the war might be easier to understand.

"Need blessing, Xiao Ling." Tan Xiaofan moved his arm, and the blood-pumping muscles filled his arm, full of strength and beauty, but he shook his head, and didn't seem to be very satisfied with it, the girl he called Xiaoling was always a little mysterious, only showing her general cheeks on the outside, after hearing his words, he nodded slightly, and then his hands emitted a burst of red light.

"Magic?" This strange strength obviously caused a wave of confusion among the rebels who had joined the Order.

"I think it's better to use a pistol..."The man who spoke at the beginning continued to persuade without giving up, but then, the man let go of his arm, like a bow and arrow of the full moon with a whooshing sound of breaking wind, cutting through the sky, but how could this kind of thing defeat the mecha? Is it a fantasy? Well, it shouldn't hit the self-esteem of a companion, it's not good to do that, he should need comfort for the sake of the team as a whole.

"I said... Boom..."Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a deafening explosion, and the rocks in the cave were falling dust one after another, which showed the power of this explosion.

"Hit... Beat... Exploded? As if eating a quail egg, he opened his mouth wide, and looked at the man who was still drawing the bow with some dumbfoundedness. What are you kidding, that's a bow and arrow, a bow and arrow! Something that is not even as good as a pistol actually exploded a mecha directly? Did the gods descend to earth?

Their eyes gradually changed from initial suspicion to surprise, then convincing, and finally worship, if it were not for the battlefield, they might have had the urge to kneel.

"Maybe... Maybe they'll win this battle. Such thoughts spread like a plague and began to spread indefinitely in their psyche, and they were out of control.

"Here we go." Lin Xiu stood up, Tifa grabbed the fist gloves in his hand, this was not only their first head-to-head confrontation with Brittana, but also a good opportunity for them to brush up points, the task of more than 5,000 points has not been forgotten, and at this time, C.C. has already gone away, back in Lelouch's command room, and then, she just needs to wait for everything she wants to happen. (To be continued......)
