Chapter 174 – 173. Declaration of War
“Shit!”
Back in Area 11, Dorothea hit the desk in the temporary governor’s office because she couldn’t overcome her anger. All of the Knights of the Rounds gathered around it. All of them are the Knight of Ones. Bismarck Waldstein and the Night of Nine. Nonette Anyagrem also gathered in Area 11. It was unusual for all the Knights of the Rounds except for the dead Jino to gather in one area. The Night of Rounds knew the seriousness of the situation, as it had never been like this before.
“Are you sure there’s going to be an uprising in Area 11 soon?”
Nonette, a female knight with short gray hair, spoke for the first time. Rounds, who had been tormented by Woojin in the Commonwealth of China, nodded heavily. He was the only one with an absent-minded expression on his face. Bismarck asked Dorothea.
“Is the article called Kam Woo-jin very strong?”
“I’m angry, but I’m sure you’re strong.”
Dorothea said while chewing on his lower lip. Because of his humiliation in the Commonwealth of China, his hatred for Wu Jin only deepened. It was the same for Bradley. On the contrary, instead of fighting properly and losing to him like Dorothea, his feelings of being overwhelmingly ridiculed were more miserable.
“He must kill that bastard!”
“Bradley. Before. To him. I lost.”
As if teasing Bradley, Anya looked at Bradley and talked. Bradley had veins on his forehead. Anya, who is very slurred even when he speaks, had something that made people feel frustrated just with his usual conversation, but now he is touching his own planting with that tone.
“You lost miserably too. This anchorage.”
“Me. Jung Park, no. That Bradley. Are your legs okay?”
“Leg?”
“I heard. He was kicked by Kam Woo-jin. He flew away.”
“Such a bitch…”
Bradley, who couldn’t hold back his anger, made a gesture to attack Anya with a stern expression on his face. Bismarck grabbed his shoulder.
“Don’t fight rounds.”
“Damn it. Got it! Let it go!”
Bradley couldn’t bear to disobey Bismarck, so he gave up the idea of running into Anya at Bismarck’s warning. These days, nothing happened. This guy or that guy I started to feel like everyone was making fun of me. That’s all, it’s been happening since the old fight with Woojin in Area 11. Even among the female knights of the Valkyrie unit, Bradley’s authority was gradually declining. With the exception of Marika Soreshi and Lirina Belgamon, three of them have already been discharged.
At that time, seeing Bradley’s unsightly appearance, he seemed to have become difficult to feel the need to be in the Valkyrie unit. Bradley was unfair, but he couldn’t make any excuses. Because he was too lazy to make excuses.
He became a strong man unlike a human being? The moment he said that, he had no choice but to directly admit with his own mouth that he was a weaker person compared to Kam Woo-jin. Even if he said nothing, it was a loss. Because he was beaten by Kam Woo-jin and became a loser who couldn’t say anything. Bradley was actually regretting it a lot. He should never have sparred with that bastard. If not, he shouldn’t have quarreled with you the first time you met. It was clear that this would not have happened now if the relationship had started with a conversation that acknowledged each other in a friendly atmosphere.
Self-employed.
Bradley admitted it, but didn’t want to admit it. He wanted to kill that bastard, Kam Woo-jin, somehow.
“It is an order from Her Highness Schneizel.”
When Bradley, like Dorothea, developed a hatred for Kam Woo-jin, Bismarck’s words echoed through the temporary governor’s office. The Night of the Rounds all focused their attention on Bismarck’s mouth.
“He said that now, when the peace agreement with the Chinese Federation has collapsed, it is a good time for the terrorists in Area 11, who are still on the rise. So that you don’t relax.”
“Yes Your Highness”
Although it was Bismarck’s story, it was His Highness Schneizel’s message, so all the Knights of the Rounds shouted slogans for nobles towards Bismarck. Bismarck thought to himself. He says that if a person named Kam Woo-jin, and his Nightmare are as strong as the report says, he might have no choice but to use his strength too. I was worried about the piercing in one closed eye.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
“His Highness Odysseus?”
“You seem to have calmed down now.”
Schneizel answered Kanon Maldini’s question. Kanon Maldini’s expression darkened.
“I’m worried. The wedding was disrupted…”
“Don’t worry, bro, he’s not that narrow-minded.”
Schneizel smiled and comforted Kanon. Kanon was grateful for Schneizel, but he couldn’t help but worry. In particular, even if Odysseus and Schneizel were relaxed, the other members of the royal family were not. Archipelago Pendragon’s Britannia Imperial Palace. The place where Schneizel and Kanon headed was where all Britannia’s royal family had gathered.
“Why? You mean to forgive the Commonwealth of China?”
“It would be nice if the Commonwealth of China was destroyed!”
Kanon let out a small sigh as he watched the already noisy battle. These were the words of Guinevere de Britannia and Carine of Britannia. These two were one of those people who had a hard time controlling anyone next to them.
Odysseus, who was with him, smiled as if to calm down.
“To be honest, I didn’t really care too much about marrying the Son of Heaven. The war with the EU isn’t over yet, and just like my younger brother Schneizel said, wouldn’t Area 11 be anxious too?
Kanon wept internally at Odysseus’ words. As Schneizel’s aide, he is loyal to the Britannia Imperial Family, but Odysseus’ personality was unique among the imperial family. In particular, when Nana-Ri, Princess Britannia, was discovered and came to Pendragon, the person who took care of her the most was none other than Odysseus. When the two of them were in the same space, it was to the point where they felt like a warm breeze was blowing because of the soft atmosphere.
“Older brother.”
Just when Kanon was thinking so, Schneizel, who approached them, called Odysseus and bowed his head. Odysseus smiled and greeted Schneizel.
“My brother. Schneizel. Welcome.”
“Yes. Brother.”
Schneizel stood next to Odysseus. Odysseus laughed softly and patted Schneizel on the shoulder. Schneizel laughed as if he couldn’t help it. Odysseus, who is not greedy for the throne, is a person whose mother treats all other members of the royal family like younger siblings. He couldn’t help but feel at ease when he was by his side.
“How did the conversation with the Commonwealth of China go?”
“Unless the Chinese Federation requests it. Britannia’s justification for intervening in the Chinese Federation is gone. A civil war is likely to break out.”
“Gee… There shouldn’t be many casualties.”
Surprisingly, it was Odysseus’ true intention. Schneizel sighed inwardly. If this was a peaceful world without war, I thought that when Odysseus succeeded to the throne, the world might have faced an unprecedented holy time. Because Odysseus has the qualities of a saint. He is too humanitarian and has the downside of not being suspicious of people, but that is what Schneisel himself could have covered if he helped.
“What about Area 11? There is a story that the organization that helped the traitors of the Chinese Federation was the Black Knights of Area 11.”
“Probably. There will be an uprising in Area 11.”
“Are you sure?”
“Perhaps. That’s right. Now that the civil war in the Commonwealth of China is certain, this is the best time to liberate Area 11.”
Schneizel was sure it would.
“Then, is there a way? Schneizel, what did you decide to do?”
“I sent all the Knights of the Rounds to Area 11. Reinforcements should be arriving one after another from the mainland. It’s a temporary governor, but there should be a new governor.”
“Haha. Apparently, Schneizel does it himself, so you don’t have to worry.”
Odysseus smiled comfortably as he spoke. Schneizel also smiled. Odysseus said to Schneizel, who smiled.
“I’m Schneizel. I can’t imagine you losing.”
“Haha. Thank you for the compliment. Brother.”
Schneizel also laughed. The royal family gathered around them and started talking. Canon Maldini stayed by Schneizel’s side without interfering in the story behind the scenes.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
When I arrived at the room following Suzaku, all the people who were important to this matter were gathered. I was the only one in Sword Breaker, and a large number of officers of the Black Knights had gathered. Lelouch was waiting for me with Kaguya. I asked, not knowing English.
“What are you doing?”
“Now. The time has come.”
Lelouch, who was wearing the Zero Mask, declared. Kaguya, standing next to Zero, nodded. He even took a step forward. I saw Shinku, who had not yet left for the Commonwealth of China, and Zhang Lihua, who was sitting next to him.
I raised my hand and stopped Zero from speaking.
“For a moment.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Not everyone has come yet.”
“Do we need more people?”
“Yeah. Someone very important didn’t come.”
I said that and went out again through the door. In fact, it’s a little bit embarrassing. No matter how useless it is in battle, Yuffie is a princess. She is also the princess of Britannia. She even served as the vice-governor of Area 11, and is the one who pushed the Special Administrative Zone of Japan. After all, he is a person who should not be treated like this in the Dark Knights.
With a slightly angry gait, I went to Yuffie’s room and knocked on the door. A sound was heard from inside.
[Who are you?]
“It’s me Yuffie.”
As soon as I revealed that it was me, inside! I heard a voice saying The door opened with the sound of footsteps. Yuffie was breaking out in a cold sweat. She also had a worried look on her face.
What…
First of all, I can’t understand English right now. I immediately held Yuffie’s hand and talked as we walked.
“It’s time for Lelouch.”
“When? No way…”
“I think it’s like that. I was so angry that yuppie wasn’t called, so I forcibly stopped it.”
“Woojin…”
I took Yuffie and headed back to the room Suzaku had shown me to. I could see people looking at Yufi and making her look shy. Her yuppie’s shoulders shrunk. I supported her yuppie’s back and guided her to her seat. It was Zero and me with Kaguya in the middle. Originally, I sat down on the seat where I was supposed to sit.
And with a dignified expression, he stood behind YUFI.
“Begin.”
“I get it.”
Accepting my silent protest, Zero silently bowed her head to Yuffie, and continued her speech.
“From now on, preparations for the war for the liberation of Japan begin.”
Wow!
No one screamed at Swordbreaker. Liberation was not the goal for them. The members of the Black Knights roared. It was extreme. Half the room cheered and the other half remained silent.
I also remained expressionless.
I lightly covered the shoulders of Yuffie, who was trembling in cheers for the Black Knights. I meant to calm down.
The liberation war was about to begin.
