Compared to Ray Mingkai and ZERO, who did not hesitate to change the target of the carriage from the imperial capital of Pandoragon to the warrior kingdom of Gilkstan in the Middle East region, Leila showed a reaction that the two had expected.
"Reason! I need a reason! Our preparations so far have been to defeat the four major Knight regiments of Europe and begin to sweep across Europe while using the carriage to carry out a precise attack on the imperial capital of Pandoragon. Why did you change your mind now? "
ZERO was silent. No, she simply used the cover of her mask to raise the "Nothing to do with me" sign and kicked the "football" to Ray Mingkai.
Ray Mingkai's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end, he had no choice but to accept the troublesome "football".
"Commander Leila. Now our strategy has changed. Compared to attacking the risky imperial capital of Pandoragon, we think it is safer to attack the Gilkstan Kingdom. After all, the air defense and resistance there are not as strong as the imperial capital of Pandoragon. "
"I refuse! This is not a reason to change the established plan. "
Ray Mingkai's seemingly dignified reason did not convince the shrewd Leila.
Although ZERO, who was sitting on the side, remained silent, Ray Mingkai still felt her playful gaze.
"Lu Luxiu! You bastard! Wait and see! "
After Ray Mingkai secretly cursed ZERO, he finally decided to tell Leila part of the matter.
"Commander Leila. I'm very sorry! What I said just now is not a reason for us to change the established plan, but a temporary decision to not trouble you. "
However, Ray Mingkai's apology did not get Leila's understanding.
"Be clear! Knight Ray Mingkai. If the majestic Knight of the Empire's Princess is just a lying hypocrite, I'm afraid there will no longer be any Knight in this world. "Leila's penetrating gaze went straight to Ray Mingkai's eyes as if she wanted to see through Ray Mingkai's heart.
"…"
Ray Mingkai was silent for a moment, looked back at ZERO whose expression was completely covered by the mask, and finally made a choice.
"Commander Leila, do you still remember the witch of the forest?"
This sentence immediately made Leila fall into the memories of the past.
It was a snowy day.
At that time, Leila was just an ignorant little girl.
Lost in the woods, she met a group of people in white robes. Among the group of white-robed people, a tall and slender woman with a distinctive gold-rimmed pattern on her collar stepped out of the crowd and came to Leila.
However, this was all Leila's memories of the witch of the forest.
"You, you know the witch of the forest?!"
Recalling the memories of the witch in the forest, Leila took a few deep breaths to stabilize her momentarily uncontrollable emotions.
After all, only Leila herself knew about the Witch of the Forest. No one else knew about it.
"Yes. And there is someone here who has a close relationship with her. Am I right? ZERO。”
At this moment, the "football" kicked by ZERO was kicked back by Lei Mingkai.
"Me?"
This time, it was ZERO's turn to be confused.
What witch of the forest?
He had no idea.
The only person he knew who was related to the Demoness was C.C.
"Wait! Kai, is the witch of the forest you're talking about C.C.? "
ZERO didn't give Leila a chance to ask. Instead, she asked Ray Mingkai first.
"Correct. The true identity of the witch of the forest is C.C. "Ray Mingkai nodded and admitted ZERO's speculation.
"No way? C.C. actually met Commander Leila? "This time, it was ZERO's turn to be surprised.
"Wait! The witch of the forest's name is C.C.? "Leila took the opportunity to ask her question.
"Yes. The witch of the forest is C.C., and C.C. is the witch of the forest. Commander Leila. I believe you still remember the process of meeting the witch of the forest, right? Although we can't explain too much in detail why we gave up the imperial capital of Pandora and turned to attack the Gilkstan Kingdom, one of the key factors was C.C. who gave us the information that we had to do so. "
Ray Mingkai looked at Leila, who was deep in thought, and knew that his decision to reveal the identity of the witch of the forest had succeeded.
"Is it information about the Emperor?"
Leila knew that there weren't many factors that could change the original plan, and the new Emperor was the biggest one of these factors.
"Yes. That Emperor wants to fight for a … well, it should be described as a weapon that can change the world. "The one who answered Leila wasn't Ray Mingkai, but ZERO.
"Weapon?!" Although ZERO used the word weapon to describe the content of the information, Leila realized that there must be something she didn't understand.
"Yes. It's a weapon. Commander Leila. Right now, we can't tell you too much about the weapons. Because we don't have much information in this area at the moment. All the explanations are in the Gilkstan Kingdom. "Ray Mingkai took over the topic.
"Is that so? Then, I need to go with you for this operation. You also hope that WZERO can participate in this operation, don't you? You know, the Gilkstan Kingdom is famous for exporting mercenaries. "
Although this decision was unexpected, Lei Mingkai and ZERO heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the control of the carriage was in Leila's hands. If Leila didn't agree, even if Zeon came, there was nothing he could do. What's more, from the battle report that came back from the border not long ago, Zeon was probably more concerned about the progress of the suppression of the four major Knight regiments.
"There's no time to lose. Since the Emperor has begun to fight for the weapon that can change the world, then we must race against time. It will take 12 hours to adjust the carriage again. I hope that during this time, you can select the elites to participate in this mission. "
"Understood!"
Ray Mingkai and ZERO nodded in response.
ZERO and the members of the Black Knight Regiment naturally didn't have to think too much about it. ZERO and Karin were bound to be on the list, and the remaining two spots were left to them.
As for Ray Mingkai's side …
Alright!
There was no need to think about it.
Ray Mingkai, Euphemia, Cornelia, and Viretta. With just a few words, the four spots had been selected.
"Give up on attacking the imperial capital of Pandora? Attack the Gilkstan Kingdom instead? Kai, why did you make such a decision? I don't know what others think. But I, who participated in the crusade against the Gilkstan Kingdom, know that this country is not so easy to capture. "
Cornelia, who was active in the Middle East theater all year round, had an unparalleled right to speak about the Gilkstan Kingdom's intelligence.
"Your Highness Cornelia. Are you talking about the prophet of that country? " Ray Mingkai knew that Cornelia was worried, but after knowing the true face of the prophet and the prophecy, Ray Mingkai wasn't too worried.
"Yes. That country is very strange. No matter how detailed and comprehensive our strategy is in advance, it will be declared a failure at the moment of success, and we will be besieged by the enemy. " Cornelia frowned tightly, as if she didn't want to recall the memory of participating in the attack on the Gilkstan Kingdom.
"It's okay. We already know the true face of the prophecy. So, this won't be a hindrance to us. The only worry is that due to the size of the carriage, our participation in this battle will not exceed 20 Knightmare. "Ray Mingkai shook his head and led the topic to another direction.
"Kai. Not just 20 Knightmare, now we can let the pirate Gao Da return to the Earth's synchronous orbit and prepare for airborne operations against the Gilkstan Kingdom. "
The first to make a suggestion was Euphemia.
The silver-gray cloak on the pirate Gao Da could indeed allow the pirate Gao Da to have the ability to enter and exit the atmosphere alone, so Euphemia's suggestion was feasible.
"Yes. We can do that. In this way, our combat power should be enough to deal with any situation. Moreover, even if there is an accident, we still have the Tusk Lion State Zero. "
"You finally thought of me? Kai. "
White Cat State Zero, who was lying on the side with its eyes closed, raised its head and looked over.
"State Zero. Can you enter C's world? "
Suddenly, Ray Mingkai thought of a key question.
In this world, only C.C. and V.V. had CODE. Based on the information they currently had, C.C. was imprisoned, and V.V. was missing.
But Ray Mingkai was even more worried that V.V. might have been killed. Otherwise, why would Charles, who was also Xia Lulu, fight with the emperor for control of the world in C's world?
"C's world?" White Cat State Zero turned its head and looked at the vast forest outside the window.
"Hmph. The inner side of this world? Interesting. Kai, as long as we reach the door, I will know whether I can enter or not. "
As it spoke, White Cat State Zero raised its paw and licked it.
"I don't know why, but this world exudes a smell that feels very familiar to me."
Although White Cat State Zero did not give a definite answer, Ray Mingkai already knew that White Cat State Zero had a certain degree of confidence. Therefore, he looked at Viretta.
"Viretta. We still have 12 hours to prepare. You go and arrange it properly! The list of people who will ride the carriage this time is me, Her Highness Cornelia, and you, Viretta. As for Euphemia, she can board the pirate Gao Da in advance and return to the synchronous orbit to wait for the moment the attack order is issued. "
"Yes! Your Excellency! "Viretta responded neatly and went to arrange things.
12 hours was not a lot, but it was also not a little.
At the same time that Apollo's carriage was filled with fuel, all the people who participated in this expedition were already present.
"Kai. How about you still command this time? "
As soon as Ray Mingkai activated Lancelot's screen, ZERO's communication came through.
“ZERO。 Spare me! Instead of commanding from the rear, I am more suitable to charge at the front line. What's more, between the two of us, one of us needs to rush to the temple first and control the troublesome Her Highness. Otherwise, no matter how many strategies we prepare, they will all be broken by the Princess's Death Recall ability. "
Lei Mingkai rattled off a long list of reasons in order to push the responsibility of being the commander to ZERO.
ZERO's mouth twitched, and she could not refute Ray Mingkai's reasons.
That's right.
Gilkstein's strength was not strong.
The only thing that troubled Ray Mingkai and ZERO was the Princess's GEASS. In order to end the battle in the shortest time possible, one of Ray Mingkai and ZERO must be the first to complete the mission of controlling the Princess.
ZERO knew very well that Lei Mingkai was the most suitable candidate for the job.
Lancelot.
There was also the huge steel lion that could appear and fight at any time and place.
They would all be Ray Mingkai's reliance to complete the mission.
"Everyone, there are still 5 minutes before launch. Please be prepared to withstand the impact. "
Suddenly, Leila, who had changed into a tight-fitting outfit, appeared on the screen in front of him.
"Commander Leila. It's not too late to back out now. " After checking the seat belt, Cornelia looked at Leila and said.
Although the time they spent together was a bit short, Cornelia appreciated Leila very much. Especially after she learned about Leila's background.
"No. Your Highness Cornelia. This is my duty. The Gilkstein Kingdom's location is far east of Europa. From the moment WZERO's troops landed in the Gilkstein Kingdom, the only thing White Wolf Fort could do was wait. Therefore, as the commander, I must know the situation at the frontline immediately and give the corresponding orders. I've already made up my mind! "
Leila's answer was firm.
"Is that so? Then, good luck! Commander Leila. I hope you can see a battlefield that is completely different from what you know. "
Looking at Leila's determined eyes, Cornelia knew that she did not need to say anything more. The only thing left was to wait for the actual battle to test Leila's courage and luck.
"There's still 1 minute before launch! Everyone, get ready! "
There was a countdown in his ears. Ray Mingkai slowly closed his eyes and lowered his body completely into the driver's seat. The White Cat, Type Zero, blended into Lancelot's system and became Lancelot's core to withstand the impact of Apollo's carriage launch.
"There are still 30 seconds before launch! Entering the countdown now! "
The moment the countdown began, everyone's attention was focused.
"Ahhhh! It's about to launch! Fan!! What are we going to do? " Yucheng Shinichiro, who was patting his chest before the launch and shouting that there was no problem, immediately gave himself away when he heard the countdown.
This caused ZERO, Karin, and Shan to reveal expressions of shame and disgust.
"How could this guy be allowed to participate in this expedition? It's too embarrassing! " Karin's muttering was unfortunately captured by the sensitive receiver, and it spread throughout the communication channel.
In the blink of an eye, suppressed laughter was everywhere.
"Cough cough. Focus! "
Leila coughed. Everyone's attention was pulled back.
"Counting down from 10 seconds!"
“10！”
“9！”
"…"
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
"Apollo's carriage launch!"
"Boom!"
A huge roar sounded from the deep well in an instant. The burning tail of the rocket also swept out from the bottom of the deep well at the moment when the rocket named Apollo rose into the air. It rushed into the air, sending a farewell to the rocket that rose rapidly into the sky.
