Chapter 22: The Helper

People's habits are something that is difficult to change, if you want to ask Wu Ye what he is best at, it must have nothing to do with superpowers, he is always best at relying on others.

Since the Red Mist Mutation, he has been able to rely on himself every time he encounters a crisis...... Eyes to attract reliable helpers to solve the mutation.

So in and . After agreeing not to use superpowers, he wanted to deal with Lelouch, and the first way he thought of was to find a helper, and it was a big helper.

He now plays the role of the third prince of the empire, but he is a high-ranking existence beyond humans and youkai inside, so the binding force of universal values is extremely weak to him.

From money and face to the right to inherit the throne, there is nothing he can't trade, and it is absolutely terrible for a prince in a high position.

Desirelessness is just talking about people, but when values are not equal, everyone is a devil.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Are you serious? Even if he was as obedient as Bartlet, at this time he was frightened by the prince's thoughts, and he followed behind Takeya, and said tremblingly: "In this way, we will ......"

"Bartlet."

The prince did not have any ill feelings towards his loyal subordinates, he just stopped and asked the other party lightly: "You just need to do your job seriously, or do you have other ideas?" ”

β€œ...... Your will, Your Highness. Knowing that the lord had a certain heart, Bartley stopped persuading him, but followed him in silence.

This mediocre general is Takeya's most trusted subordinate, not only because of the other party's loyalty, but also because he is the initiator of the Code research project, and in terms of occultism, he can definitely not be said to be useless.

After arriving at the conference room of the Governor's Palace, and after receiving the salute from everyone, he waved away the many advisers, leaving only his henchman Barrett and a few officers of the Personal Guard.

"Be ready to communicate." Bartley instructed his subordinates.

β€œyes my lord。” An officer obeyed the order and turned on the call device, and soon, a heroic woman appeared on the big screen.

Everyone in the conference room straightened up to show respect, and Wu Ye greeted each other with a smile: "Long time no see, Imperial Sister Cornelia." ”

Cornelia S. LI Britannia, the second empress of the empire, has the strongest strength among the many princes at this stage, is very good at manipulating Kightmare, and has the nickname of the Witch of Brittany.

From the corner of the monitor, she could see a battle-torn ruin behind her, as if the other party had just come down from the battlefield.

"Clovis, your aquarium is finished?" Cornelia's response seemed a bit sharp, and Clovis spent most of his budget as governor on the construction of these cultural areas, as was well known in the upper echelons of the empire.

Territory building isn't impossible, but it's a bit too arrogant for an unstable colony that's still in the midst of riots.

It's just that Takeya, who has the memory of Clovis, knows that this imperial sister is not ridiculing her, but as an older sister, as a soldier, she is used to speaking to her younger siblings with the taste of lessons.

"It's still as strict as ever, Sister Huang, how is the war situation in the Middle East?" Clovis had never dared to challenge Cornelia's authority in the past, and it was common for him to argue or teach lessons, but this time, the other party sensed a trace of calm and reserve in his actions.

"You can call it Area 18 instead," as if surprised by her brother's growth, Cornelia's expression gradually softened: "What's the matter?" I have done what you asked to get the unrelated people to step down. ”

In the picture, it can be seen that there are not many people left around Conelia.

"Thank you, Sister Huang, then I'll just say it."

Wu didn't go around in circles, and said frankly: "Regarding this 11th district, I hope to get your help from the imperial sister." ”

"Huh?" Obviously, Takeya's straightforwardness surprised the officials of the Cornelia family, including herself.

Her brows furrowed immediately, and she asked in an interrogatory tone, "Has the situation in Area 11 deteriorated to this extent?" ”

"No, it's still under control at this stage."

Wu Ye is telling the truth, and it can even be said that the suppression of the empire during this period of time has been extremely smooth, and all the resistance forces are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But there are hidden dangers in it, in the report I got a day ago, the officers below reported only a batch of mecha that were accidentally damaged in battle, but Wu Ye already smelled danger.

Jeremiah will soon be out of luck, as Lelouch has already begun to move on.

So Wu Ye must also take the first step to insure himself.

"In this 11th district, there is a special resistance force, and the last time I fought with the other party, I felt very difficult."

Not ashamed of his failure, Takeya calmly told Cornelia about the situation at that time: "I and my generals are not his opponents. ”

"So you hope?" Cornelia raised her eyebrows, it seemed that this younger brother had surprised her a little too much today.

"I hope that the royal sister can lead your knights and personally sit in this 11th district." After Takeya said this, the other people in the conference room hung their heads a little gloomily, because they all understood what this sentence meant.

"Clovis," Calling her brother's name, Cornelia asked earnestly as she calmed down, "Do you know what it means to do this?" ”

"I understand," Takeya showed his sincerity, "I will apply to my country for you to become the deputy governor of District 11, and after that force is suppressed, I will give up this District 11." ”

Takeya's meaning is clear, in exchange for District 11, having Conelia send elite troops to suppress the riot is undoubtedly extremely stupid in the eyes of others.

Not only proved his "incompetence" from the side, but also gave the colonial area in his hands to others for nothing, and when the news came out, I am afraid that many subordinates would be disappointed in him as the sovereign.

With a light snort, a slight smile appeared on Cornelia's face: "Since you are serious about asking me, then I will also respond seriously, but Clovis, you must know that Area 11 is not your drawing board, even if you cry and beg me afterwards, I will not return it to you." ”

"I know, Imperial Sister," accepting the other party's ridicule, Wu Ye said: "The Prime Minister and the Noble Council will communicate with my people, ah, by the way, do you need to prepare a banquet for Imperial Sister?" ”

"Oh, Clovis, there's only one kind of banquet in my life, and it's called the battlefield." With these words, Cornelia disconnected the communication.

"Hey, that's a terrible sister." No one dared to respond to Takeya's self-talk, and the atmosphere in the conference room was a little silent for a while.

Until an officer received the news and hurriedly left the conference room, a short time later, a war report arrived in the hands of Takeya.

"Is it finally getting started?"
