Lelouch jumped up from the sofa and rushed out of the door like a madman.
"Zero!?"
Kallen glanced at everyone in the room hesitantly, not knowing whether to chase or stay.
"You are the captain of Team Zero." Shan Yao nodded towards Kallen.
Team Zero is the Black Knights, a bodyguard even recognized by Zero, and protecting Zero's safety is the top priority.
"Yeah!" Kallen nodded heavily to Shan Yao, and then chased him out.
The door was pushed open with force.
"Nunnally!"
The empty room made him extremely flustered. The room was very clean and there was no sign of mess. Of course, Nunnally is a frail girl who has lost her sight and has limited mobility. Anyone can easily take her away.
The sound of the engine drifted in from the window, and Lelouch immediately ran towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
If it were normal times, he wouldn't care at all. This is the temporary base of the Black Knights. Any engine noise is not surprising, but now any slight disturbance has become his life-saving straw.
"That is!?"
Outside the window, a child of about 12 years old with long hair that was not inferior to Camillo was pushing Nunnally's wheelchair towards a small aircraft.
There were clearly several members of the Black Knights patrolling around, but they turned a blind eye to the anomalies here.
¡¾Gass! ¡¿
This word immediately appeared in Lelouch's mind.
"Nunnally!!" Unfortunately, no matter how hard he slapped the window and shouted, his voice could not penetrate the glass.
Just when the other party was pushing Nunnally into the aircraft, the child stopped and looked back in Lelouch's direction. His lips and teeth opened slightly, forming a mocking smile, and his lips opened and closed as if he was saying something to Lelouch.
"No!!!!"
Lelouch took out his pistol and shattered the French window.
"what happened!?"
Kallen, who heard the gunfire, just ran to the door, but what she saw was Zero jumping out of the broken window.
Fortunately, this room is on the first floor.
"Stop! Stop!"
The small aircraft rose into the night sky and then flew towards the south.
"Damn it!"
Lelouch ran towards Gawain. Now he had weapons in his hands, and it was the only one that could fly.
"Zero, where are you going!?" Kallen had no choice but to run towards Guren, and when passing by her companions, she loudly asked, "Help me prepare the Knightmare carrier plane!"
¡°Captain, an aircraft has just left the target location.¡± The bodyguards hidden in the aircraft near the building near the academy reported to Lilena.
"I saw it. That is not our combat purpose. We cannot sabotage the entire operation and let it go because of an unknown target."
"HeyCaptain."
"What's wrong?" Lilena sighed with a serious face.
"Gawain" There was an excitement that was hard to suppress in his tone.
Gawain is regarded as Zero's vehicle. This is known to all emperors. If he can be destroyed here
"Can your machine fly?" Lilena just asked lightly.
""
¡°Then don¡¯t think about whether these things are available or not, and focus on your own tasks.¡±
"But"
"As long as there are no signs of the Black Knights evacuating here, our mission is of decisive significance. Pass this intelligence and related data to the Governor's Palace, I believe Minister Fabray will be very willing to handle this matter."
He glanced at the time displayed next to the bridge.
"The time is up, everyone closes communication."
A stream of meteors streaked across the night sky. At first glance, one thought someone had set off fireworks. At the same time, the phones in Ashford Campus were ringing loudly.
"Send someone to confirm what happened?" After issuing such an order, Shan Yao pushed open the door habitually, wanting to take a look at the specific situation nearby.
¡®Boom~¡¯
A dull explosion came from behind, and the air wave swept him up, and then hit the wall of the opposite corridor. Debris from lime and wood got into the clothes along the collar and cuffs. The bones all over the body ached as if they were about to fall apart, and the brain seemed as heavy as lead. Except for the harsh tinnitus, all other sounds in the world seemed to be deprived
The flames of the explosion illuminated the sky above Ashford College and also attracted everyone's attention.
"Headquarters, headquarters, what happened?"
The Black Knights soldiers on patrol immediately took out their radios when they saw the explosion. However, before they could answer, the fireworks in the sky suddenly turned quickly and plummeted towards the two of them, and the flames of the explosion immediately engulfed them.
And this situation is happening everywhere in the college.
"Fan!"
The deep accent was squeezing his brain, but Fan Yao could still feel it, as if someone was calling him.
"Fan!"
Kinoshita, whose face was covered in blood, shook Shan Kaname's body.
He barely raised his body half up and shook his heavy head, but it didn't help much.
"what happened?"
Under the pull of Mu Xia, Shan Yao staggered up from the rubble, his ears ringing uncontrollably.
"Attack!"
"Assaulted? By whom?" As soon as these words came out, Shan Yao himself felt ridiculous. At this place, at this time, I can tell who carried out the attack even with my knees.
"What are the casualties?"
"I don't know" Kinoshita shook his head, "We haven't had the time yet."
"Then do it now." As he said that, Shan Yao took out his cell phone from his arms. Just when he was about to dial, a hand suddenly snatched his cell phone away.
"Don't do that!"
"Iori?"
The black-haired boy was holding his injured arm, with several scorch marks on his face due to the thick smoke.
"Why?"
"Because everyone who used radios and mobile phones hung up." Yagami showed a deep wry smile.
"I was on the roof of the building at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that the missiles changed their flight direction at a weird angle, and then accurately hit all the guys who were calling with walkie-talkies and phones, including Knightmare." Looking back, I looked back at the blazing fire. "It seems that wireless Internet access will be added now," the headquarters said.
"How is this possible?" Shan Kaname and Kinoshita's eyes were filled with shock. "How did they do it? How did they know that our headquarters is here?"
"I don't know, maybe they just want to try to interrupt our contact in this way." The empire's blow was too sudden, which made Yagami, who had always been calm, lose control. "The worst-case scenario is that they do know about us. Here it would otherwise be difficult to explain such a precise blow."
"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!!"
Horrified shouts rang out in the campus. Even if communication equipment was lost, as long as human beings have not completely degraded, the most primitive methods still have a certain degree of efficiency.
Running out of the building, I saw giants suddenly appearing in the courtyard.
"AS" The three of them took a breath of air.
After the missile paralyzed all communication tools, there was an armored assault. It was already obvious that the Imperial Army knew what was here, and they were prepared.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat immediately!!" Without thinking, Yagami replaced Shan Kaname and gave the order.
Since the birth of mechanical devices with heavy armor and powerful firepower, they have become the nemesis of infantry. Although individual anti-material weapons have emerged in an endless stream with the advancement of science and technology, the data shown based on actual performance shows that if infantry encounters armor, Troops, the best choice is not to let the other party discover you and then run away.
"No, we can't just retreat like this!" Shan Yao pushed away Kinoshita who was supporting him.
"We have no choice!" Yagami grabbed Shan Kaname's collar and shook it vigorously. "We have now lost the means of contact. Losing the means of contact means losing the organization, leaving a group of soldiers in a state of panic and fear. To resist is to be massacred.¡±
"The G1s of Diethardt and Kagakuye-sama are moving here. We must join them and use the equipment on G1 to re-establish the command system." Seeing Shan Kaname's hesitation, Yagami sighed. , added.
"There are hundreds of students from Bunitania here. The other side shouldn't ignore them. We still have a chance to fight back!"
"Okay" After hearing this, Shan Yao finally nodded in agreement.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Facing the heavily armed AS troops, armed with light weapons, the terrorists, controlled by fear, fled in panic.
"Hostages secured!"
4 ASs are stationed at the dormitoryAfter confirming that there was no danger, an AS with a yellow edge knelt down, the hatch opened, and Lilena jumped off the aircraft.
"Alpha Team is responsible for the safety and security of the hostages, Beta Team is responsible for sweeps, and Charlie Team establishes a defense line according to the predetermined plan." Lilena said as she walked towards the door of the dormitory.
"Thank God, you are finally here."
A group of students poured out from the door. Since just now, the continuous explosions have frightened these students who are used to living a peaceful life.
¡°Everyone be quiet!!¡±
Unexpectedly, it was not Lilena who stopped everyone.
"Mirei Ashford?" Lilena was still quite impressed by this girl with eye-catching long golden wavy hair.
"I'm so sorry, everyone"
"I can understand." Lilena knew what Mi Lei wanted to explain, "But I'm very sorry, I'm afraid you need to stay here for a while."
"!?"
"We have no retreat plan." Lilena began to explain. "There are 352 students here. With the current situation, we do not have the conditions and capabilities to evacuate you to a safe place. So according to the plan, we will establish defensive positions on the spot. , until the end of the war.¡±
Lilena¡¯s explanation made all the students look in disbelief.
"No, I don't want to stay in this place"
"The Black Knights will be back soon."
¡°That¡¯s enough!!!!¡± Lilena shouted, and the murderous aura honed on the battlefield instantly subdued the group of innocent students.
"We have 12 ASs and 22 well-trained marines. Our enemies are just a group of poorly equipped rabble. The various military districts in District 11 have begun to gather reinforcements, and the Pacific Fleet has also sailed here. The war will be over in 1 day at the earliest and 2 days at the most. Okay, now everyone goes back inside, it is best to stay in the hall on the first floor" After listening to Lilena's explanation, the students He walked back hesitantly.
For people who are panicking, the most important thing is to give them visible hope. At least, everything she said was true.
?¡
¡®Bang¡¯
The long-backed chair was lifted high, and then slammed hard onto the large mahogany desk, leaving a deep crack on the tabletop, and then turned into a pile of fragments.
Picked up the crystal paperweight from the ground and smashed it hard out of the window.
"Your Highness!"
¡°What kind of report are these bastards writing?!?¡±
With a ferocious look on his face, Schneizel grabbed a pile of crumpled paper and raised it towards Canon. Then he threw it hard to the ground. It's a pity that the paper is too light, and it just falls to the ground lightly.
"What do you mean the chance of survival is slim!? I don't care what bullshit theories they have, my brother! My brother let them be labeled dead so easily!! There is not even a body!"
Kanon had already read this report, and he personally handed it to Schneizel after careful consideration. But he didn't expect that Schneizel, who had always been gentle and didn't know what anger was, would show such a violent side.
But sooner or later we have to face what we have to face, and this matter cannot be hidden at all. He must let his master adapt as soon as possible, otherwise all those who place their hopes on Schneizel will face the fate of destruction.
"Look! Ask them to search carefully for me! Don't miss every inch of the entire sea! Don't come back if you can't find it in one day."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After walking out of the room, Kanon was silently thinking about whether he should do something to let Schneizel vent his emotions.
