[Code Geass] Irregular 243

Chapter 243 – 242. Henan

“Welcome. Prince Schneizel.”

It is a gorgeous banquet hall. All nine eunuchs gathered in front of Schneizel, who moved in a wheelchair, to greet him. Schneizel laughed.

“The welcome party is grand, so I don’t know what to do. Please understand that I can’t get up and say hello.”

Kanon’s expression blurred as he listened to Schneizel from behind. Schneizel, who would have been greeted standing proudly on his two legs, is now sitting and receiving the greeting. The grand eunuchs shook their heads and laughed at Schneizel’s words.

“No. We are both worried about Shinku and the Black Knights. From our point of view, the Black Knights, who are using Horaido without permission, are also just a thorn in the eye.”
“Haha. I think I met someone I like.”

The story of Schneizel and the great eunuch was amicable. All the Knights of the Rounds stood behind Canon Maldini. Dorothea, Nonette, Bradley, No, Monica. They were staring at the surrounding area. Something felt off, but I didn’t know exactly what it was.

“Then enjoy the banquet. Prince Schneizel’s seat is reserved.”

The grand eunuch had arranged Schneizel’s seat in the highest place. As befits a pro-Britannian grand eunuch, Schneizel’s position was higher than anyone else in the Chinese Federation. Schneizel was not taken aback. He headed there with the help of Yang Kanon, who said that it was right that the place was originally his. He was sitting in a wheelchair anyway, and he preferred it to the chair prepared by the great eunuchs. The chair was immediately removed and a wheelchair was put in its place.

Among the aristocrats of the Commonwealth of China who were watching the scene, those who were awake at least stiffened their expressions involuntarily. Even if they were the 2nd prince of Britannia, a superpower, the current position selection was too much for them.

The members of the Sword Breakers, who were dressed as soldiers of the Chinese Federation guarding the banquet hall, clicked their tongues inwardly while watching it. Even if it rotted, it was too rotten. They also didn’t have much to say because they entered the Sword Breaker for the well-being of themselves and their families, not to fight for the liberation of Japan anymore, but it was true that the banquet of traitors was uncomfortable for them too.

But now, you must never get caught. Everyone in the Sword Breakers already knew that Schneizel would arrive today. Due to that, the maximum preparation has been completed. All the great eunuchs die here today. It was good to save the most competent aristocrats, but there was also an order from Ujin not to worry if the situation was unfavorable.

Daichi swallowed his saliva. Ujin’s orders and guns were often left to the free will of the soldiers as much as possible. So was the case now. Competent nobles are careful not to kill them, but it doesn’t matter if the situation doesn’t work out? That said, I don’t care if you kill me or not. Become

Woo-jin is the kind of person who would just nod his head and move on if he simply killed them all with his own words and then reported that the situation was not going well.

This is an order that should not be abused frequently from the position of the superior. Even so, Woojin enjoyed using that method very much.

‘It feels like being tested.’

Daichi thought. It hasn’t been a year since I worked under Woojin. They also knew that when they looked at them from Woojin’s eye level, they were unnoticeable. Woojin seemed to want to make them throw away their humanity.

Look. If you do this, it’s very easy. Humanity? Moral? Find something like that in war? Ruler. Just close your eyes and pull the trigger. That’s right If you care about everyone around you, you will be weak.

When you want to carry out an operation with maximum efficiency, it is very convenient for the sword breaker to kill all witnesses unless it is really necessary. All of the requests I’d done in Japan so far were no different from eradicating bandits, in the old days. Since they were the ones who would kill anyone and everyone, killing people didn’t feel that great of a burden.

However, when he was dispatched to the Britannian Army and the Commonwealth of China, the content of what he saw was completely different from that time. There is no eternal villain, no eternal justice. It was as if the captain was trying to raise Wei Shun. In this tangled mess of good and evil, all members of the Sword Breaker seemed to want to take center stage.

The conversation with the crew has already ended. Now, here and now, no one can return alive except for Wei Shun. For example, a sword breaker’s mistake may allow a few to escape, but perhaps all the nobles who are competent and upright in character will be killed.

He wanted to become a proper private soldier.

The banquet lasted a long time. Even when Daichi and Sword Breaker disguised themselves as soldiers and stood guard, two hours had already passed. It’s time to shift. In the distance, I felt the real Chinese Federation soldiers approaching.

[The first goal comes. To prepare.]

It was Woojin’s voice. It was a voice from the in-ears that all the members of the crew were wearing. Soon after, the operation begins. The captain was already on standby at a route that could break into the banquet hall at any time. Soldiers approaching to change shifts got closer and closer. Daichi felt the tension gradually loosen and laughed. He rolled in the sword breaker, and at some point he came to the point where combat was rather comfortable.

“Is there anything special about it?”

Two soldiers approached and asked. Daichi trembled.

“There was something special.
Haha. That’s the same for me. If you wait a little bit, won’t the leftover food for the banquet be served to the soldiers? I can’t wait for that time.”
“Ah. Really? I’m sorry about that.”

He smiled at him and said Daichi with an apologetic expression to the soldier who spoke to him as if he were friendly. The soldier, who was on shift in a friendly atmosphere, put on a puzzled expression at Daichi’s words.

“Huh? What does that mean?”
“It means you can’t go out to eat that food.”
“What?”

As the soldier stupidly asked, the fist clenched only at the front of Daichi hit the soldier’s neck and fell off. It was a clean blow, like a lie. The fellow standing next to him was treated the same way by a member of Team 1 who was on duty in the same seat as Daichi.

“Cuck! Kuck!”

A soldier whose thyroid cartilage, which makes up his larynx, had ruptured, sat down clutching his neck as the pain felt in his throat. His blood flowed like a waterfall through the tightly closed gap. The same was true of the one who was beaten by another member of the crew. He liked to kill as quickly as possible, so Daichi’s elbow stuck into the crown of the sitting soldier. The fallen soldier did not move. He is dead

Dump.

Looking around, I saw a soldier who died the same way. That’s what Joe did. Daichi silently nodded his head, and Daichi, who responded with a nod, took a deep breath and ran into the banquet hall. All 30 members of the crew followed Daichi and entered. The surprised nobles were seen. Still, because they were wearing the military uniforms of the Commonwealth of China, everyone did not show any signs of fighting.

Daichi exclaimed.

“It’s an assault!”

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

At the soldier’s words of attack, the nobles who were enjoying the banquet inside the banquet hall were seen in a state of confusion. Even the Great Hall was the same. Since everyone had their bodyguards attend the banquet, the bodyguards of the grand eunuchs quickly attached themselves to them and were vigilant.

Schneizel was calm. At the words of the soldier who suddenly came in and shouted, it was because the five Knights of the Rounds were defending Schneizel as if to protect him. It was a defense team, including Kanon, who was holding on to Schneizel’s wheelchair.

Among them, Dorothea and Nonette were the most zealous. After being captured by the Black Knights, they were able to pay an astronomical bail and be released. In fact, considering the ransom of the Knights of the Rounds and the time and effort it took to grow a knight of that level, it was rather cheap, but it wasn’t from Dorothea and Nonette’s point of view. It wasn’t enough that he was caught for his lack of skills, and he was finally released after making him spend money. As a knight, it was a huge shame. Nonette was also great, but Dorothea’s shame was no joke. Now that Gino and Bismarck were gone, Dorothea was the strongest pilot in Britannia.

“Prince. We will protect you, so escape first…”
“First of all, let’s listen to the soldier who shouted that it was an attack.”
“…Yes.”

At Schneizel’s words, Dorothea quickly summoned the soldier who had shouted “Attack” To Schneizel. The soldier who suddenly approached Schneizel felt his whole body stiff as if he was very nervous.

“What is it called a raid?”
“Um… Um…We are soldiers who need to be shifted. We were on our way to shift guard duty… But all the soldiers who were supposed to be shifted were dead.”

Daichi deliberately created a trembling voice. It was because he thought that it would give him a little more credibility. However, Dorothea narrowed her eyes.

“The trembling voice is artificial. Why?”
“Yes yes?”
Daichi was startled. Looking at Daichi like that, Bradley also smirked.

“If you’re going to act, you have to do it right. You’re losing something precious?”

‘It’s a big deal.’

Daichi intuitively judged that he had already been discovered by Roundz. And it was right. Daichi, who had only seen Bradley’s sword trajectory as he drew and swung his sword in an instant, looked at his left arm for the hot pain he felt in his left arm.

His left arm fell to the ground.

“Keuuugh!”

Daichi crouched down, clutching the blade of his severed shoulder with his right hand. As soon as he realized that he had been cut, cold sweat rained down from his head.

[Ehh you asshole!]

The captain’s panicked voice came from the in-ear. And Kwak! With a sound, a large object fell with the sound of the roof of the VIP banquet hall in Jugeumseong being smashed. Amidst the wreckage of the broken roof, a 2m-tall giant wearing a black combat uniform landed and slowly straightened his bent knees and stood up.

It was Woojin.

“Did you do something very interesting?”
