Chapter 765 The drama begins

In Bunitalia itself, Schneizel had just returned to his room after a political and business dinner. His face was flushed and his steps were sloppy. It seemed that he had drunk a lot.

"Your Highness, we have prepared a hangover soup for you in advance. Please drink it." The secretary gently placed a bowl of hangover soup in front of Schneizel, then took a few steps back and waited quietly.

"Yeah." Schneizel drank the hangover soup and felt that his mind was much clearer. "The craftsmanship is still so good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

"Okay, I'm fine, you go down first."

"Yes, your highness."

After the secretary left, Schneizel did not rest or work. Instead, he looked at the empty desk in trance. This was a very rare thing. There were no documents, so he could calm down and think carefully.

However, there are always people who like to be uninvited guests and are not willing to let Schneizel meditate.

"It seems that you are very distressed, Schneizel." A little blond boy wearing a black cloak and purple on the outside and white as the main color walked out of the secret door of the room with a mature smile on his face and looked carefully. If you do, you will find that his appearance is very similar to that of Charles DI Bunitaria, except that one is already old and the other is still a young child.

"...What's the matter with coming to me so late?" Schneizel asked V.V. with his signature gentle smile.

"Just to see if you've made up your mind."

"..."

"It seems that there is still no one." V.V. shook his head and walked to sit opposite Schneizel. "You are so smart, you should have clearly seen Yang Hui's threat to the empire."

"This is what I am suspicious of, Mr. Acting Leader." Schneizel said to V.V. while maintaining a smile, "Is it a threat to you? Or a threat to the empire? Yang Hui opened up territory for the empire and expanded the empire's territory. The territory is managed in an orderly manner, and the scientific research projects he leads have made huge contributions in various aspects such as medical care, industry, and military affairs, pushing the empire's technological level to exceed the international average for fifty years. Everything he does is for the empire. "

"For the Empire...is this really true?"

"certainly."

"I'm afraid not?" V.V. smiled thoughtfully, "He is the first and only person who dares to divide power from Xia Lulu. How powerful is his [Nightmare] Knights? You should know, right? He himself is also known as the world's number one Knightmare pilot, and even has the title of [One-Man Army]. All of this... is his own thing, something he took away from Xia Lulu. , do you still think he is not a threat? "

"..."

"Actually, you know very well that Yang Hui has indeed made great contributions to the empire, but it is undeniable that he is already a huge threat to the empire, and it is not just him, but also Cornelia, Chloe Weiss, under Yang Hui's influence, they are gradually getting out of Xia Lulu's control, aren't they? "

"...What you said is just your imagination. Without conclusive evidence, you cannot frame a princess and two princes who are the pillars of the empire." Schneizel's expression was serious. got up.

"Okay." V.V. shrugged. He knew that he could not completely convince Schneizel yet and draw him into his own camp, so he did not continue to force it.

"But... I think the evidence you want will arrive soon?" V.V. said with confidence.

"What do you mean?" Schneizel was stunned for a moment.

"With Yang Hui's strength, he is enough to serve as a Knight of the Round Table. Oh, by the way, there are also his subordinates. Several of the older generation of Knights of the Round Table have reached the age of retirement. Let's wait and see." After saying that, V.V. jumped off the chair. , how did he come, how did he leave, leaving Schneizel with heavy thoughts.

Until V.V. left for a long time, Schneizel kept sitting in the same posture. The difference was that there was no gentle smile on his face, but a look of exhaustion.

"Have you ever thought about living for yourself?"

This is what Odisseus asked Schneizel at today's dinner. The same thing Yang Hui asked him many years ago.

"For myself...hehe."

…

Three days later, the exam exercises for Lelouch and others were about to begin. As a commander, Lelouch borrowed the second headquarters of the [Nightmare] Knights as his temporary headquarters.

The battle plan had been arranged the day before yesterday. Because it was a special operation, the five Gino piloted their own mechas and disappeared into the [Nightmare] Knights' station yesterday. Only Lelouch knew where they were now.

Because he was too focused on this exam, Lelouch did not notice a very important thing. The [Nightmare] Knights' station was almost empty. Except for the logistics personnel and the guards protecting the station, all the knights left the station and disappeared together. And their bodies.

"Is it really okay? Don't tell him." Regeni Regeta asked Yang Hui.

The main headquarters of the [Nightmare] Knights is 100 meters underground. At this time, Yang Hui is directing another large-scale operation.

"No, if he can't find it, just go back and learn again." Yang Hui said to Regeni Rejeta without looking back, and then issued an order to CIC, "Order Jeremiah and Qiong's teams to cancel the exercise Mission, go to the designated coordinates to lurk."

"Yes, your highness!"

"Your Highness, Team C reported that a large number of suspicious persons were found in Area C..."

"Team A reported that a suspicious convoy was found in Area A..."

"Team D reported that the Knightmare troops of the resistance organization were discovered in Area D..."

…

Report after report was gathered here by Yang Hui. Looking at the gradually increasing number of red dots on the screen, and then there were blue dots surrounding them like iron barrels besides the red dots, the corners of Yang Hui's mouth curled up in a cruel arc.

"There is no error in the intelligence. What is the progress of civilian evacuation in each area?" Yang Hui immediately asked CIC.

"All civilians in Area A have been evacuated."

"All civilians in Area B have been evacuated."

"Area C..."

"The evacuation of civilians in Area D is 85% complete..."

"The evacuation order was issued two hours ago. What happened to Area D? Why hasn't it been completed yet?" Yang Hui asked with a frown.

"The report shows that Area D is the [ELEVEN] slum and a gathering place for homeless people. The people are scattered and hidden, and 80% of the local residents are resistant to Bunitalia, which brings considerable obstacles to the evacuation order." CIC reports.

"Slums... Rejetta, take your team to Area D." Thinking of the situation in the slums, Yang Hui believed that there were too many uncertainties in the situation in Area D, so Regeni Rejeta stayed. The insurance needs to go to area D as a control valve.

"Yes, your highness." Regeni Rejeta and Yang Hui looked at each other. After seeing each other nodded, they bowed and left the command center.

Yang Hui continued to pay attention to the battle map and saw more and more red marks. The smile on Yang Hui's face became thicker and thicker. As long as this big purge succeeds, then [ELEVEN] will not be able to appear again within ten years. The resistance was organized.

"Your Highness, Shumu Xuanwu is calling."

"Use password C to encrypt and access my personal line."

"Yes, your highness!"

Yang Hui picked up his terminal. After confirming that the encryption program had completed the encryption, he picked up the headset and connected: "It's me...very good...send me the list and look for opportunities to evacuate. Leave the rest to my people." ...Don't worry, I will handle it personally...I will do what I promised you."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Hui immediately issued an order for the prepared elite marines to set off and move towards Kyoto.

There are three goals in this battle:

First, eliminate most of the resistance organizations in [ELEVEN], or even completely destroy them.

Second, find the true base camp of the Sakura Liberation Front and arrest all core members.

Third, determine the identity of the third-party mysterious force.

Shumu Xuanwu's report just now was that he figured out the base camp and core group of the Sakura Liberation Front and reported it to Yang Hui.

At the beginning, he was found by the people of the Sakura Liberation Front like Duke Xiudafelt. They used the truth about the surrender of Bunitalia and the family of Shumu Xuanwu to threaten Shumu Xuanwu to support their actions.

But in Shumu Xuanwu's eyes, this threat was simply a child's trick. Back then, Yang Hui used public opinion to destroy the unattainable six families in Kyoto, and he was even more clever. He framed the blame and made it an ironclad case. And after so many years, Now, all the policies promulgated by Yang Hui have been implemented. Although [ELEVEN] has lost their country and name, their lives are indeed better than when the Six Families of Kyoto were there. Except for those who are obsessed with it or those who have nothing because of committing crimes. , will not oppose Yang Hui's rule at all, so the evidence in their hands will not be of much use now.

As for the safety of his family, Shumu Xuanwu had anticipated this danger back then, so he had already made arrangements. Shumu Suzaku was in the trainee knight training camp of the [Nightmare] Knights. If these people who resisted the organization had the ability to fight in [Nightmare], ] He placed people in the Knights, and he wrote his name backwards!

There are other family members who have also arranged for manpower to protect them, and Yang Hui did what he said, secretly arranging manpower to protect his family's safety.

Therefore, the threat of the Sakura Liberation Front is to make rice out of sand.

However, Shumu Xuanwu considered that he was approaching the age of retirement. Before retiring, he could still make some achievements and get some rewards from Yang Hui to spend the rest of his life, so he chose to use the trick and ostensibly agreed to Sakura People from the Liberation Front provided some insignificant information to meet their requirements for sending people and weapons into various cities, and then reported everything to Yang Hui secretly.

Shumu Xuanwu has indeed made great contributions. The information on the time, scale, and location of the resistance organization's operations was all provided by Shumu Xuanwu. Now, the hidden location and personnel list of the Sakura Liberation Front have been determined, and...

"Do you dare to confront me face to face? It seems that I have to make a trip in person." With this thought, Yang Hui explained to the people at the headquarters, then left the headquarters and went to Gnaku to board the 【Athena】.
