At this time, the empire's delegation has initiated the highest level evacuation protocol on its own, technicians are dismantling the core data module, and Lancelot has entered an unmanned towing state.

No one is waiting for the Cornelia or Pendragon command, not even the Governor-General's Residence line has been applied for.

The officers of Britannia used to discuss the Knight Honors Competition, believing that there was at least a bottom line that could not be crossed in an open global event. However, they had seen how Lin Cuo invited an E. U. judge to preside over a public review, and then packed up the entire court and locked it up in Protection Zone during a global live broadcast. The current situation is exactly the same.

It only took the on-site security officer half a minute to make a judgment. If Lin Cuo started to emphasize procedural justice, they would have to run away immediately.

"Evacuate directly with all the technical information and spare parts, and the personnel will leave through the third channel." Lloyd finally said, "We won't wait for Mr. Suzaku to come."

Cecile looked at him suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

"I said no wait." Lloyd tapped Suzaku's position on the map, "If we stay here, he will only get Lancelot, the technical team and Driver at the same time. At least keep two of them now, and we will talk about Driver later."

"Lloyd Earl, do you also regard people as project assets?"

"Cecile and Suzaku are the most difficult parts to replace in Lancelot Project, so I am not going to give all the parts to Great Han."

This sentence made Cecile look even more ugly, but she had no time to continue arguing. The peripheral Transport Frames had already been activated, and the nobles, engineers and military observers in the Britannia delegation left the table almost at the same time.

They didn't even care about maintaining the dignity of the empire's calm evacuation. They took away all the information that could be taken away, and burned what could not be taken away on the spot.

Milly was sitting in the general commentary booth of the conference. At first, she thought that the sudden large-scale personnel transfer in the background was just preparation for the next round of competition. It was not until Ashford Family's golden coat of arms appeared in the joint guarantee column of the empire's evacuation route map and Great Han's identity protection program that she opened her eyes a little bit.

"Wait a minute."

The staff pretended not to hear.

Milly dragged the file in front of him. The more he looked at it, the more absurd he felt. "Why is it written here that Ashford guarantees the safety of all personnel exchanges, technical contacts and political communication channels of this conference with its century-old KMF R&D reputation?"

The tournament official next to him carefully explained, "Your Excellency, President, this is the "International Students, Researchers and Driver Non-Discrimination Exchange Initiative" that you signed before the opening."

The internal line happened to be connected, and Lin Cuo's face appeared on the small screen beside her desk.

"President Milly, please pay attention to the emotional issue. The yellow line is drawn very clearly. Suzaku Kururugi has complete visual ability."

"You used the credibility of me and Ashford Family to guarantee the safety of this competition, and now you use the competition safety procedures to detain people?!"

"It is precisely because your family has long promoted the advancement of KMF technology that Britannia believes that the conference will not carry out low-level assassinations. Facts have proved that their judgment was completely correct - Suzaku is now very safe."

Milly stared at him for a long time. "So you, Regent, were planning to use me as bait from the beginning?"

"This is called a cross-country credit bridge for the imperial nobles. Without your auspices, the imperial nobles may not be willing to send the real Knights of the Round and Lancelot over."

"Regent!"

"Huh? What? My signal here is not good!!!"

"Regent! When this matter is over, I will issue you a Ashford two-hundred-year credit loss bill."

At the same time, Suzaku in the central review area learned that the delegation was evacuating and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"General Li, I have clearly refused to talk. Now you continue to restrict my movements. This is no longer the so-called identity verification."

Li Xingke's face looked even more tired than usual. For this ridiculous identity confirmation, he temporarily returned to Luoyang. Three BETA seeding units were still approaching Blue Star, but he had to stand in the event channel to prevent an empire Driver from escaping.

"You can refuse to talk, but you can't leave before the process is over."

Suzaku stared at him.

"You know that this is not a normal procedure and you are still going to execute it?"

"I also know that if it were anyone else standing here, you would have run away."

The two Great Han officers tensed their bodies at the same time, and Suzaku's center of gravity indeed changed when he said those words.

He staggered back half a step, as if preparing to return to the empire area; the next moment, he suddenly turned to the right, held up the metal barrier with one hand, and rolled his body along the edge of the maintenance channel.

The first officer didn't even have time to reach out.

Suzaku placed his toes on the wall maintenance beam, used the force to move upward, and crossed two sections of partitions in succession.

Li Xingke cursed in a low voice and jumped onto the barrier.

Suzaku had just grabbed the upper beam when the scabbard pointed at his elbow from the side, forcing him to let go.

Suzaku twisted around in mid-air, and after landing, he immediately swept towards Li Xingke's knees. Li Xingke took a step back and pressed down on the scabbard. The two people's strength only touched briefly for a moment, and Suzaku used the reaction force to pull away again.

This time he just wants to escape, which is more difficult to defeat than a head-on fight.

Suzaku keeps breathing rhythm, constantly looking for the next exit.

"I don't want to fight you."

"I don't want to either, but you can find the only local exit every time, but you never ask whose order that exit leads to in the end."

Suzaku's expression finally changed.

"This has nothing to do with now."

"Of course it's relevant. When Luoyang, you said you wanted to prevent the illegal seizure of power, but you actually obeyed Chevail who violated the governor's orders; when Operation White Chrysanthemum, you said you wanted to protect ordinary people, but actually you obeyed What was executed was a forged authorization. Now, when you see Regent using the program to restrict you, you immediately decide that you must return to Britannia, as if as long as you stand back under that flag, all orders will be naturally legal."

"Li Xingke! I will investigate the authorization issue, but I will not accept your investigation as a prisoner."

"Suzaku Kururugi!! If you return to the empire, it's called investigation, if you stay here, it's called imprisonment. What determines the meaning of the word is who you want to obey."

"At least the empire has a clear command and legal system! It's not the same as your Great Han!!"

Li Xingke looked at him, although he was a little unable to refute, he still showed an almost disappointed look.

"It seems that what you really believe is that as long as you continue to obey and continue to climb up within the system, you can prove that your choice is meaningful, Suzaku Kururugi! What did your father give you?"

Suzaku's face suddenly turned pale, and the anger caused by this made him choose to break through head-on.

If the person standing here is not Li Xingke, he has really gone out.

At this moment, the voice of Lin Cuo came from the channel broadcast.

"Li Xingke, do it."

Li Xingke's forehead jumped.

"I'm already taking action."

"I mean, stop practicing with him."

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"He is only 27 meters away from the external imperial apron. According to Suzaku's current burst speed, he will enter the audience evacuation area in three seconds."

Li Xingke's eyes darkened, and the scabbard suddenly loosened its grip.

Suzaku thought he had found a gap. As soon as he moved his body forward, Li Xingke was already close. He directly clasped the opponent's shoulder with his left hand, sealed his lower body with his right leg, and used Suzaku's forward force to bring him to the ground.

Suzaku still completed a flip before landing. He put his elbows on the ground and almost stood up again, but the scabbard was already lying on the side of his neck.

Li Xingke did not suppress it, only spoke in a low voice.

"Your talent has not declined, and your political judgment has not improved."

Suzaku gritted his teeth and still tried to hold himself up. Lin Cuo on the radio suddenly laughed.

"Suzaku Kururugi, do you know what Great Han and Collective Punishment System are?"

The passage became quiet. Li Xingke seemed to have thought of something and immediately raised his head.

"Duke of Liang, don't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, I'm not talking about killing the Nine Tribes. Of course, modern countries must adopt more civilized and efficient methods of implicating people."

Lin Cuo projected an emergency safety plan for the event onto everyone's screens.

"If you continue to escape, the conference will automatically determine that Britannia military personnel have breached the organizer's security control, and the entire imperial delegation will enter related review, and all technical personnel, media personnel, noble observers and Education Liaison Officer who have not yet left the country will is temporarily detained; Lancelot, Knights of the Round bodies and Transport Platforms are all frozen; the cross-border permissions of Ashford exchange students are re-examined."

Suzaku raised his head suddenly.

"They have nothing to do with this!"

"That's why it's called Zilian."

"Regent!!"

"In addition, Mr. Suzaku, there are currently 370,000 spectators in the central arena today. If you enter the public area rashly without permission, the venue must be fully evacuated, the airport closed, and rail transit suspended. If there is a stampede, casualties, or a full-scale exchange of fire between Britannia guards and Great Han guards, the relevant responsibilities will be fully recorded in your identity verification file."
