[Code Geass] Irregular 177

Chapter 177 – 176. Declaration of War

“Princess. I found someone.”

Taklamakan Desert. On the endless stretch of sand, only the hood worn to block out the daytime sun fluttered in the wind. The woman who was looking at the desert from her sand dune turned her head behind her. Her purple hair trickled down from the cracks that she was tightly wrapped in her hood.

“Did you say how likely it is that Gears is here?”
“More than 80%. It was difficult to track because it kept moving from base to base, but now there is nowhere to run.”

The one who answered Cornelia’s question was a giant with scars across her face. Andreas Dalton. Cornelia’s bladder.

“Call Gilford and the Glaston Knights. It would have been nice if there was a Nightmare, but without it, we fight as if we don’t have one.”
“Yes your highness”

Dalton withdrew. Cornelia. For nearly a year, I believed Woojin’s words and tracked the direction of Gears.
It was hard to believe his words, but now I couldn’t. It was because there really was an organization called Geass Hyangbang.

‘Most of them must be Britannians.’

Cornelia thought. Holding her by the tail, huge ruins are being built wherever the sentence is supposed to have been. There were many things that were used in Britannia that had been hurriedly withdrawn.

Yuffie is on the run after being accused of treason. Right now, I’m busy chasing the direction of Gears, so I haven’t even heard of it. I wish I hadn’t been caught.

“His Highness Cornelia.”
“Here you are.”

It was Guildford. The clothes of the guards including Gilford, as well as himself, were very different from before. Cornelia smiled bitterly at her. She cut ties with Britannia in order to follow the direction of Gears. She unilaterally said that she had done what she did but had no regrets.

I was convinced that if I uncovered this truth, I would be able to get closer to the secrets of the world.
I could see the knights lined up behind Gilford. All of them are Nightmare pilots. Nightmare was no longer supplied and became unusable, but it didn’t matter.

After all, the force of the knights was so strong that researchers and soldiers couldn’t help it.

“From now on, we will enter the area suspected of being in the direction of Gears. Check all weapons.”
“Yes Your Highness”
“The other party is a research group suspected of being Britannians. The probability of having a nightmare cannot be ignored. It should be done once and for all. Have you finished checking the firearms?”
“Yes. We also finished checking the terrain.”
“Using the opposite side of the sand dune, I hit it while maintaining a prayer binic. Inrush.”

Cornelia got off to the furthest. When she started out, she left most of her mobility equipment at the base she had built, so she had no choice but to walk. Rather, it was good because there was no sound of footsteps because of the sand.

It was a ridiculously short distance if it was to break through in a straight line, but it took 30 minutes to arrive at the target area after going round for a surprise attack. But it’s worth it.

The guard guarding the entrance to the ruins supposed to be heading didn’t even notice that Cornelia and her bodyguards were approaching close by. One of her Cornelia’s hands was raised. The SS stopped.

I raised two of her fingers. Two knights with sniper rifles came out from behind. Cornelia laughed. It was because she already had a hard look to be called a knight.

“They fire at the same time.”
“Yes Your Highness.”

Two snipers climbed the ridge of the dune and took a prone shooting position. The distance was more than 500m, but there was no worry. It was because he had already reached the skill level of a veteran through nearly a year of operation. Among the knights, they were the two with the best marksmanship.

Tattang!

The blast of the launch was loud even with the silencer installed. It was a distance that could be seen with the naked eye, so I confirmed that the two guards were knocked down without having to use binoculars.

Cried Cornelia.

“Rush in quickly!”

She ran down the sand dune that was deep to her ankles. The guards also ran behind them. Even after running 500m quickly, no one came out even though the guard died.

I heard all kinds of thoughts. Are you ready to run away already?

Cornelia and her bodyguards, who arrived at the entrance of the ruins where they were sure to be headed in less than a minute, entered the entrance quickly. Inside, of course, it was not a sandy bottom. The inaudible footsteps echoed through the cavity inside the ruins.

“Get over it as quickly as possible. Personnel holding anti-tank rockets should spread out when the road ends.”

As Cornelia gave her directions, she reached the end of the long hallway. This time, Gilford, who had been locked up behind her, came forward. Because she was at the moment of joint entry, Cornelia was in danger if the enemy was ambushing in front.

That’s how Guilford went into the cavity, and Guilford was dumbfounded.

“You are…”
“Long time no see.”

A bald head that seemed to have been pushed away on purpose, and a monocle. Bountiful body. General Bar Tre, who was close to Clovis, was waiting for Cornelia with her researchers and Aruman without resistance. Curious that Guilford had stopped, Cornelia also entered together to check on Bartre.

“This is General Bartre.”
“It’s been a while, Your Highness Cornelia.”
“Were you the one in charge here?”
“You’re right.”

Cornelia’s eyes narrowed. It bothered her that the one who had been running all along had suddenly surrendered. Whatever Cornelia thought, General Bartre got down on one knee before her Cornelia.

“We must stop the emperor.”
“What?”

Cornelia was taken aback. Certainly, as Woo-jin said, she now sensed that she had a secret at her fingertips.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“So? This time you call me Are you surprised?”

C.C, who came to my request, sat down on a chair and crossed his legs. I didn’t bother to treat her kindly.

“The World of C. Can I come in?”
“So? You want to go in?”

C.C asked, frowning at her. I nodded, but I don’t want to go in right now. At least after Japan was liberated.

“Not now. Can you let me in if I ask later?”
“As long as there are ruins, it is possible. The ruins closest to Japan today are…”
“It’s on Kamine Island.”
“Okay. And the Britannian army is still stationed there.”
“When I want, no one will be there. Because I will make it that way.”

“What are you going to do by entering the world of C?”
“Your wish. I will make it happen.”
“My wish?”

At my promise, C.C. Had an expression that he did not know why. I grinned.

“Code. Let me make it go away Instead, there are conditions.”
“What conditions?”
“I’ll let you know when I enter the world of C.”
“Do you think I will hear that?”
“You still haven’t told Lelouch about the details of the contract, so you’re arguing with that?”
“Joy.”

To my point, C.C seemed to make her feel bad, but she couldn’t. You have to enter the world of C anyway. Compared to the original story, Lelouch’s situation became very good.

Through this liberation war, Britannia’s power must be reduced as much as possible. Until then, it would be nice if Lelouch had grown Gears greatly. It is questionable whether that would be possible. I played around and made plans assuming both when I grew up and when I didn’t grow up. It’s a problem that I’m stupid, but I didn’t care because it was natural for the original plan to change at that time.

“It probably won’t take too long. If you cooperate, I will grant your wish right away.”
“I’ll think about it.”
“It is not an idea. You will have to listen unconditionally.”
“Why me?”

C.C snorted at my bluff. I still don’t know what C.C is thinking. With Story going to the mountains, he couldn’t even anticipate anymore.

I wondered if I was intervening and giving a dog shit.

It was destined to turn out well if I just stayed still. People I love will die.

However, since he had already made his choice, it was too late to regret it. The snowball has already risen and is rolling down the mountain. Whether this snowball hits the house, disappears, or becomes a landslide depends on what I do.

At least, I’ll try harder. I hope you don’t think so.
