Clovis' words were as if he had no idea, but it was undeniable that his concern for Euphemia was sincere.
It seems that for him, maintaining the face of the Holy Britannia Empire is not more important than protecting his half-sister.
Cornelia was angry, but she couldn't vent it out.
"Now, the most important thing is not to let those guys discover that Euphemia is inside. Otherwise, the terrorists will definitely make more excessive demands. We need to stabilize them and then continue the rescue operation."
"What if the rescue operation fails?"
"No, exchanging hostages is the last option, but we have to be prepared to kill all those damn guys after rescuing Yuffie."
Cornelia is the kind of imperial princess who has experienced the flames of war and rushed to the forefront to establish military exploits. She is more ruthless than ordinary princes and princesses.
It's a pity that she is also a sister-controller. Although she is strict and ruthless, she always has no way to deal with the sister she truly loves.
Of course, the only sister she loves is Euphemia. If another prince or princess were to go in as a hostage, such as the pig-brained brother next to her, then she would probably have to shout for him to sacrifice his life for the dignity of the empire. The prince went to die with a healthy attitude and gave his life.
"Where is the new negotiator? He hasn't arrived yet?"
"Your Highness, the new negotiator was thrown from the building by the terrorists from the Liberation Front just now because of our intrusion. He is already dead."
Next to him, the guardian knight, as the adjutant, answered this question.
"What a waste."
Cornelia cursed, although she knew they were not to blame in this situation.
And just when she was about to ask someone to find a new negotiator to delay time.
However, a communications guard hurried over and reported another emergency.
"The terrorist attack call came to the concession's official communications, saying that in the concession, the branch of the National Assembly, the Royal Medical Research Institute, the main channel of the Materials Transportation Bureau, and the area controlled by the leased land management department, these important facilities and departments, have all been installed with powerful devices. bomb?"
"Moreover, the other party claims to represent the entire resistance organization in District 11. Want to talk to me directly?"
After hearing the report, Cornelia only thought that the matter was a bit nonsense. If the communication guard who came to report the news to her was not also her confidant, she would definitely kill the guy who dared to talk nonsense to her at this time. Cut.
"Has the news been confirmed?"
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Cornelia asked with a gloomy face.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the news has not been completely confirmed, but some places did suffer some damage..."
The communication guard spoke clearly and summarized the information he had just received, and reported it to Cornelia truthfully.
"The person who sent the subpoena made it clear that those were just demonstrations to prove that they were not lies. If the new communication does not meet the demands in the future, all the facilities mentioned will be destroyed."
Cornelia frowned a little and asked the adjutant to continue directing the others to attempt rescue operations, then went to the communication vehicle next to her.
Not long after, a video call was made openly.
Clicking on it, a figure wearing black armor appeared on the screen.
.
.
"Who are you?"
Lelouch looked at the vaguely familiar woman who appeared on the communication screen with some surprise. Facing the other party's direct question, he quickly reacted and replied in a confident voice: "I think I communicated before. Your subordinates should report themselves to your people."
"You are not a rebel."
Cornelia sneered. If the hidden guy opposite was from the resistance organization, then who were the guys in the conference building surrounded by her troops behind?
And if they were really a group, the other party would be able to report so many important facilities and claim that powerful bombs were installed in those places.
If you really have this ability, as long as you destroy those facilities, you can already paralyze most of the empire's institutions in District 11.
Why else would they engage in this somewhat idiotic hostage-taking operation? Couldn't they just hijack the entire empire's administrative government in District 11?
"As expected of Her Royal Highness Cornelia, the iron-blooded princess of the Brittanian Empire. You immediately discovered my identity. Yes, I am not a member of the resistance organization."
Lelouch didn't mind pretending to be a member of the resistance organization. Anyway, he had arrived at the scene, and the next step was to deal with the situation at hand.
"We are the Knights of the Black Abyss, partners of justice!"
Lelouch said it, and with his true face obscured, he said it without any scruples.
"It's really ridiculous. The guy who threatens the empire with terrorist attacks actually claims to be a partner of justice?"
Cornelia felt a little ridiculous, so she said strangely, but it was an old hermaphrodite.
"The declaration of carrying out a terrorist attack is just to delay your unintended attack on the Hekou Conference Center Building. The real purpose of our Black Abyss Knights is to save those hostages held by terrorists."
"So, the rumors of terrorist attacks installing bombs in those facilities are all false?"
Cornelia asked.
This is what she needs to figure out, otherwise she would have no time to wait here for communications from strangers.
Aren't you afraid that someone really has the ability to paralyze the entire 11th District Concession?
“It can be fake or it can be real.
When necessary, falsehood can turn into truth, and truth can turn into falsehood.
This depends on whether your Holy Britannia Empire is on the side of justice. "
Lelouch responded, still pretending to be mysterious, making it unclear what his true background was and what kind of cards he held in his hand to say such a thing.
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss such irrelevant matters. Are you still planning to save the hostages in the conference center?"
Cornelia wanted to say something else, but was blocked by the words of the person opposite.
"Of course you want to save, what are you going to do?"
She could only ask like this. She couldn't figure out the details of the person she was talking to, but since the other person claimed to be here to save the hostages, it was natural that they could continue the conversation in depth.
"Stop your reckless actions now, and let me negotiate with the people in the resistance organization."
"They are not willing to accept negotiations. Many of our negotiators have been killed."
"That's because you are members of the empire and are considered by those resistance organizations to be persecuting themselves, so that's why."
Lelouch said bluntly.
How can anyone send people to negotiate while secretly carrying out sneak attacks?
Even if the experts who go to negotiate are very eloquent, it would be strange if they don't die in such a deceptive situation.
"I need your cooperation to publicize the terrorist attack and threat to you by the Black Abyss Knights, and I will use this as a person of the same camp as the resistance organization to persuade them to stop this reckless trip. .”
Lu Lu is in a state of adaptability.
"Do you think this is a terrorist attack?"
Cornelia asked.
"Why not give it a try, or do you want to try this?"
Lelouch called up Kallen's video communication.
The communication showed that Britannia's branch of the National Assembly in District 11 was flashing with flames. Inside the branch of the National Assembly, the top roof of the tall and majestic building was blown to pieces, as if it had been destroyed. Terrorist attacks in general.
"Don't worry, there are no casualties. I just want to show you the righteous power of our Black Abyss Demon Group."
A black abyss demon was ordered by him to sneak inside and carry out a self-destruction attack. As he spoke, Lelouch looked calm and calm, and casually called up the communication images from other places.
"Do you still need me to show you these places?"
Lelouch asked, as if answering Cornelia's question just now, do you think this is a terrorist attack on the house?
[Yes, this is just playing house. Terrorist attacks are as natural to us as eating, drinking, and breathing. 】
The corners of Cornelia's eyes were twitching wildly. If her sister Euphemia hadn't been in the Hekou Conference Center that was attacked, she really wouldn't know whether it was the group of terrorists who attacked the Hekou Conference Center or the screen. It's dangerous to fall in love with this guy who claims to be a partner in justice.
"I don't want to cooperate with a guy who hides his name and doesn't even know his face."
Cornelia said that she actually already had an idea in her mind and was just bargaining.
She wanted to know the name of the guy who was hiding his head and tail. Of course, she mainly wanted to know his true appearance so that she could look it up later.
"My name is zero. As for who my true identity is, you will know soon."
Looking at the zero displayed on the clock next to him, Lelouch casually gave himself a code name.
"Now, give me your reply, Princess Cornelia, do you want to create an additional difficult enemy, or do you want to cooperate with me to become a temporary friend and cooperate with me to rescue the hostages in the Bayou Conference Center?"
Lelouch stood up like an opera singer, opened his arms in front of the camera and asked.
"No, Your Highness, those terrorists have started killing hostages!"
At this moment, the adjutant came over to report.
However, his report was no longer needed, because the terrorists on the liberation front were already shouting with loudspeakers.
"From now on, we will kill one person every ten minutes. We have captured more than 300 hostages in this building. Twenty-four hours later, if the Brittanian Empire officials still cannot give us With a satisfactory answer, we will shoot all the hostages here."
In order to have a greater social influence, there were people from the resistance organization who took photos and sent them to the outside world. However, this attracted media reporters from outside to quickly take pictures and collect materials.
"Okay, I promise to cooperate with you, but you must ensure that no more important hostages are injured or killed."
Now there is no good solution, but to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and Cornelia directly decides what she agreed to cooperate with.
"very good."
The communication image was closed directly on the other side.
"呲呲呲……"
Less than half a minute later, the screeching sound of vehicle tires came from the outside.
"Who is it? Stop it."
Someone roared, and then the gunfire sounded.
"Bang~"
When we got here, a reporter's car that was almost scrapped suddenly crashed into an armed armored vehicle.
The fuel tank was ignited, the car exploded and burned, and raging flames covered the car.
"what happened?"
Cornelia questioned the running guard.
"For some reason, this car seemed to be out of control and broke in without even listening to the warning. We had no choice but to shoot to stop it."
The guard answered, and there was another huge noise over there, but it was not a secondary explosion, but a burning car door, which was completely kicked out from the inside.
Lelouch, wearing black armor, walked out of the burning car in a swaggering manner.
Surrounded by soldiers, the surrounding mechas turned their guns towards him and arrived less than ten meters away from Cornelia.
"Now, I need to hold a press conference here!"
Cornelia: "..."
He didn't expect that this guy wearing black armor would be so bold and break into this place and appear directly in front of him.
However, if you think about it, it becomes clear that what the opponent relies on is nothing more than his desire to rescue the hostages, and the fear that the opponent may actually have a bomb that can paralyze most of the concession in District 11.
.
.
Before the Hekou area was attacked, reporters who had been notified in advance by the resistance organization were summoned. They all looked at the black-armored figure on the burning vehicle with some confusion, and in the protective circle of the mecha group. Governor of the eleventh district of the Brittanian Empire.
"Wait, that car is ours, right?"
In the crowd, Ditohat, who was holding the microphone, opened his eyes wide. He looked at the scrapped vehicle and seemed to recognize it. In his heart, a group of grass horses ran past. The car was a new one purchased by the newspaper this year, and it was allotted to him. Used by this gold medal reporter.
.
.
Inside the Hekou Conference Center building, Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe, who was preparing for the execution of the hostages, suddenly noticed reports of terrorist attacks outside, which suddenly shifted to a guy wearing full black armor.
As soon as the other party came up, it was like announcing the name of a dish, announcing that it had already held some important places in the concession of the 11th District of the Britannian Empire hostage.
Well, surrounded by the Brittanian army, a strange guy in full armor was talking about his experience on terrorist attacks. He was actually countless times more arrogant than them. It was like a fake. The same.
"I think terrorist attacks are not our goal, but the political compromise we want to achieve with terrorist attacks is our goal.
Therefore, on behalf of the Knights of the Black Abyss, I am here to talk to the liberation front inside the Bayou Conference Center building. We should use rational terrorist attacks to fight! "
