While Xiao Ran was talking, Lelouch also interrupted, but silently listened to Xiao Ran's arrangements. He waited until Xiao Ran finished speaking before nodding, "I will arrange this immediately after I get back. As for the number of people, is there any limit?"
Xiao Ran said, "About ten people are enough for the time being. If it's not enough, it doesn't matter. After all, I have to find a way to prepare the body, and Black Knights has just been established. I don't know how many available people you have now. Lelouch, I'm afraid there won't be too much time in the future. Well, organizations with powerful force have appeared one after another in the world, including the two people I just mentioned. If you don't want to be crushed by the rolling wheels of this world, you must grow up quickly and become the person who drives that chariot, and then let the world achieve true peace under the eternal supervision of Black Knights."
Lelouch nodded silently. He also felt a sense of urgency from Xiao Ran's words. Although he didn't know where Xiao Ran's urgency came from, Lelouch was willing to believe Xiao Ran, no. Knowing why, Lelouch feels in his heart that Xiao Ran is a person who can be completely trusted. Even though Xiao Ran still has many mysteries, even Lelouch can't determine the true purpose of Xiao Ran.
After a moment of silence, Lelouch raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran: "You are here on behalf of Euphemia. What are you going to do? If there are hostages, it is impossible to let them go now, not because of Liberation Front, but because I also need these hostages as a guarantee for our safe evacuation."
Xiao Ran asked, "When will we act?"
Lelouch looked at the time. "Evening, there are less than two hours from now."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran groaned and said, "Okay, you just said that the hostages have been taken to other places. In this case, don't those hostages already know that Black Knights has invaded?"
"Of course it was done in the name of Liberation Front." Lelouch looked at the grass wall standing not far away and said with a sneer, "Those hostages will only know that the hijacking incident was caused by Resistance Organization, and the person who rescued them was Black Knights. I will also use GEASS on everyone in the future to let them think so from the bottom of their hearts."
"Two hours." Xiao Ran shook his head. "It's still too long. Although I can also understand your plan to use the weather to evacuate safely, but I am not sure whether people outside will launch a strong attack if I don't send any information for two hours. I can guarantee that Euphemia will not do so. It's just that Knight Bismark and the two people under him, it's not easy to say."
"Once there is a strong attack from outside, we will definitely not be able to defend here. You will also be entangled and lose the best opportunity to escape. After all, among the hostages, there is no one who can really make people outside use rat weapons. At least I will not be such a person. That Knight Bismark probably doesn't care about my life or death."
Lelouch frowned and lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about the possibility Xiao Ran said. If Euphemia was the only one commanding outside, then let alone delaying it for two hours, even if it delayed for a whole day, it would not be a big problem. However, there is Knights of the Round who is beside Euphemia at this time. This is a People who can completely ignore Euphemia's ideas and issue an order to attack, especially after hearing from Xiao Ran that Bismark has two subordinates with special powers, who might be sneaked into the venue building at some time, and with the power of Black Knights, there is no way they can fight against such super people with special powers.
Slowly, Lelouch raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran, and said decisively, "Then go ahead."
"How to arrange the retreat route." Xiao Ran nodded, and he also agreed to let Black Knights start taking action immediately, so as not to cause changes later and let the two participants sneak in. Black Knights, who had finally developed with great difficulty, might really fall into trouble here.
"Of course it's the back." Lelouch pointed in the direction behind Xiao Ran, which was also the back of the venue building, and said, "I had already made preparations to leave before coming. It's just that it would be a bit risky to act at this time. In this weather, if the empire sends air troops to follow us, it will make the evacuation process more troublesome."
"Someone will buy more time for your evacuation." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and asked Saki Maski to drive Variable Fighter just to be useful in times like this.
After Xiao Ran said these words, Lelouch felt a lot more relieved. "In this case, there will be no problem."
Lelouch took out a communicator from the cloak, pressed it and said directly, "Things have changed, the plan has been advanced, everyone will start taking action according to the next plan."
After saying that, Lelouch put away the communicator, stood up from the sofa, looked at the other three people under his control, and said softly, "Go to hell, you all."
Lelouch's voice was like a switch. Setsuna and Xiao Ran could clearly see the red light in the eyes of the three dull people. The grass wall directly pulled out the The other two people took out their pistols and pointed them at their temples. As two consecutive gunshots rang out, Cao Bi's long knife also cut into his stomach and pulled hard. One of the three people suddenly knelt on the ground, and the other two fell to the ground.
Gunshots rang out, but the two guards guarding the door had no intention of coming in to take a look. Xiao Ran also took a look at the three people who fell on the ground, and slowly stood up. "What are the other people going to do?"
Lelouch shook his head, slowly put the helmet back on his head, and said, "They are all a group of rigorously trained warriors. If you join Black Knights, you can expand the power of Knights Order. It is a pity to give up like this, but it can only be like this. Most of the people here are not suitable to join Black Knights are all the same as this Colonel Kusakabe, extreme anti-Britannia elements, which will only affect the correct atmosphere of Black Knights now, and there is no time to choose slowly. Since we have decided to embark on the path of Knight of Justice, sometimes we have no more positions to choose from."
"But if they are willing to leave voluntarily, I will not deliberately embarrass these people."
Lelouch shook his cloak, nodded to Xiao Ran, then strode open the door and walked out. Although the gunshots just now did not allow the two guards outside the door to come in to investigate and guarded the door as if it was nothing, the soldiers patrolling and guarding in other places nearby also rushed over and blocked the door.
They didn't know what was going on, but they couldn't rush into the room under the interception of two guards outside the door. Suddenly they saw the door open and a man with a black mask appeared in front of them. The group of people immediately raised their weapons and pointed them at Lelouch.
The leader even asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Colonel Kusakabe What happened to them!"
"I am ZERO, I think you should have heard my name." Lelouch said calmly, "As for Colonel Kusakabe, he chose to commit suicide because he realized that such an action was completely meaningless and would only further anger Britannia and bring more serious positive pressure. Now that the mission has failed, I will give you the final order to gather everyone to escape from here."
The mask suddenly opened, revealing Lelouch's eyes with flying bird runes. As Lelouch's words fell, these Liberation Front soldiers were instantly captured by Lelouch's Affected by their abilities, they put down their guns one by one and saluted Lelouch. They each picked up their communicators and began to contact all their comrades in the building, and then quickly disappeared from Lelouch's eyes.
It was only then that Lelouch turned around, took out his pistol and shot each of the two dedicated guards in the head, completely killing these two guys. "I'm sorry, your mission is just to keep an eye on this door, then stay here and keep an eye on this door forever."
Xiao Ran walked out and saw the two people lying on the ground, but he had nothing to say about it, because Xiao Ran also knew that these two people Lelouch had to kill them, because these two people had already accepted GEASS, and under normal circumstances they would never accept Lelouch again. The possibility of the second GEASS order, that is to say, Lelouch gave them the order to watch the gate. There is no way to let these two people leave here, so these two people have only the option of death. The only difference is whether they die in the hands of Lelouch or in the hands of the Imperial Army who will enter the venue later.
But there is no telling that these two people will be directly captured by the people of the empire. After removing GEASS and being asked about the situation, it will not be a good thing for Lelouch or Xiao Ran. The probability of such a situation is of course very low, but Lelouch will not ignore this very low possibility. Even if Lelouch does not take action, Xiao Ran will also deal with these two people.
Ten minutes later, with a loud bang, the only road connecting the venue building and Outside World sank to the bottom of the lake. This sudden situation also surprised the Imperial Army side surrounded outside, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Euphemia even urgently ordered to find out what happened and whether Xiao Ran was still safe.
But at this moment, the entire Area 11 news picture suddenly changed into a figure wearing a black helmet, black clothes and a black cloak. Everything was hidden under the helmet and cloak, adding a special mystery.
"I am ZERO." The first sentence he spoke was very ZERO-like. He named himself simply and directly, and used his altered voice to prove that he was the real deal.
"Britannia people, don't panic. All the relevant personnel locked up in the hotel have been successfully rescued. The team led by me, ZERO, has been rescued from the terrorists safely. They are now placed on the first floor of this building and are waiting for your final transfer. Then they will safely leave this place full of painful memories through the hands of the Britannia Army."
Euphemia, who was standing among the land battleships, was relieved at first, but soon he became even more nervous. He stared closely at ZERO, who only had half of his body exposed on the screen in front of him, and murmured, "Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight..."
"ZERO, the murderer of Prince Clovis." When Bismark and Guildford saw ZERO appearing, they narrowed their eyes at the same time. Guildford clenched his fists and turned around. He began to ask for instructions towards Euphemia: "Your Highness, for the sake of Prince Clovis and for the sake of Area 11, this ZERO must not be allowed to continue to act recklessly. Please order the troops to be immediately sent to attack and arrest ZERO."
Bismark glanced at Guildford, and also turned to look at Euphemia. However, he did not speak like Guildford. He just said calmly, "If you want to take action, I can also attack together."
But at this moment, the picture on the screen suddenly changed. ZERO's half body shrank rapidly, and the camera zoomed out to reveal many figures standing behind him, all wearing black uniforms and hats, and half of their faces were covered by strange black goggles.
And among these figures, a man also wearing a black uniform and a mask stood alone in the middle of everyone. The uniform and mask he wore were completely different from the others. They were basically two different styles, and they looked more like the uniforms of the empire.
At this time, this figure was being targeted by dozens of long and short weapons from all directions, as if if he made any rash move, the dozen weapons would fire at the same time and beat him into a honeycomb.
Seeing this scene, Euphemia couldn't help covering his mouth and exclaimed, with an anxious expression on his face that was about to cry, "How could... Mr. Knight!"
Lelouch's voice sounded again, "Of course, the Lord Knight behind me is temporarily under our protection and will be returned to you later. This is a tribute to a brave man who is willing to come alone as a hostage exchange."
"Huh, protection? Threat." Bismark smiled lightly, and after taking a look at Euphemia, he stopped mentioning the attack, because he knew that Euphemia would never allow anyone to attack for the sake of Xiao Ran's safety.
Guildford just gritted his teeth, and then fell silent, staring at the many figures on the screen without saying a word.
"Everyone who fears us also desires us. We are Black Knights, true knights. We Black Knights are knights who exist for all people who do not pursue force. Whether they are ELEVEN or Britannia people, as long as they are the weakest, we will appear by your side."
"Japanese Liberation Front despicably seizes Britannia ordinary people as hostages. This is a meaningless act and will not bring good changes to the world, so we showed up and gave them due sanctions."
"Clovis is the same as the former governor. He cruelly ordered the plundering and killing of ELEVEN without weapons. We couldn't just watch this happen, so we also sanctioned him."
"I do not deny war, but powerful people unilaterally kill weak people who are defenseless. Such things are absolutely not allowed. The only people who can shoot are those who have the consciousness of death. When people with power attack people without power, we will appear again. No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will give him due sanctions."
"People with power, fear us, people without power, desire us, we are... Black Knights! This world will be judged by us!"
