The starry sky was dazzling.
A tall and slender woman in luxurious clothes with long, beautiful golden hair was escorted by her maids to a balcony above the temple. She was looking up at the starry sky above.
She was the noblest and most noble existence in this country. The reason why the Gilkstan Kingdom existed and was regarded as an invincible kingdom by the powerful Britannia Empire was because this beautiful and noble woman controlled the power that was regarded as the power of prophecy by the world.
"Your Highness. It's late at night. "
The maid standing respectfully behind the woman reminded her in a low voice.
"Is that so? It seems that the starry sky tonight is indeed charming. "Hearing the maid's reminder, the woman closed her eyes slightly and said with a smile.
Recently, the woman's heart was firmly surrounded by a sense of uneasiness. This sense of uneasiness didn't come from reality, nor did it come from the uneasiness caused by the country she protected. It came from a deeper level, from the depths of the world.
"What happened in C's world?"
The woman didn't know what happened in the depths of C's world, but she could vaguely feel that the world that had become chaotic seemed to be undergoing an unprecedented change.
And the woman didn't know where the result of this change would lead to.
This was also the source of the woman's troubles during this period of time.
"How long will it take for the system to be built?"
The woman turned to look at the maid and asked.
"Yes! According to the plan, it will take three more days to enter the final testing stage. "
"Three days?"
Obviously, the maid's answer didn't satisfy the woman. On the contrary, the uneasiness in the woman's heart became more and more obvious.
And this time …
Suddenly, the woman turned around abruptly and looked at the bright starry sky.
Above the starry sky.
No.
It should be above the dome.
A silver cylinder crossed the line between dawn and dusk and plunged into the darkness.
"Notify all aircraft. The carriage has successfully entered the final airborne orbit. At that time, the carriage will begin the airborne procedure. Please prepare for landing buffer. "Leila started the broadcast when the carriage completely disappeared into the shadow of Earth.
"Understood! Department Q, everything is normal. "As the representative of Department Q, Ray Mingkai responded.
"Got it! Everything is normal in the Black Knight Group, "ZERO replied as the representative of the Black Knight Group.
Whether it was Ray Mingkai's Q Department or ZERO's Black Knight Regiment, their air mobility was better than the former's.
After all, when they decided to use Apollo's carriage to attack the enemy with precision, Royd and Cecil, with the support of Ray Mingkai, quickly created a winged system that could be equipped.
Of course.
These hurriedly manufactured flying wing systems could not be compared to the flying wing systems that Lancelot and Red Lotus 2 were equipped with. But for now, it was enough.
“ZERO。 Temple? Or prison? "
Lei Mingkai asked when the carriage was about to reach the airdrop zone. There was still some time left.
"Is there a difference?" ZERO smiled.
"Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no difference. But don't forget that Her Royal Highness Princess Shyamuna has the ability to reverse death. Maybe, when we successfully land and launch an attack, Her Royal Highness Princess will use this troublesome ability without us knowing. "
Although Ray Mingkai's words sounded very serious, ZERO knew that this guy was just repeating the words he said before the battle began.
In order to shut Ray Mingkai's mouth, ZERO reached out and pressed a button. A series of carefully crafted battle plans were then transmitted to everyone's Body System.
"This is the battle plan I made. Don't be shy with me! You can choose any one of these hundreds of battle plans to carry out. "
"Oh ~" Lei Mingkai was slightly surprised by ZERO's generosity.
He did not expect that with his reminder, ZERO would make hundreds of battle plans in advance to deal with Her Royal Highness Princess.
In the original timeline, Lu Luxiu, who knew nothing about Princess Shyamuna's GEASS, made hundreds of battle plans under C.C.'s "encouragement" in order to find a breakthrough point.
"Wait! ZERO！ Are you kidding? Everyone's battle plans are actually executed in this way?! "Karin looked at the battle plans that were constantly drawn on the screen in front of her in disbelief.
"Yes! How? Is there a problem? The enemy this time is very troublesome. In order to guard against some accidents, we will adopt a free attack strategy in this battle. "
ZERO smiled slightly, raised her right hand, and clenched her fist.
"Don't worry! Although these hundreds of plans seem very cumbersome, their ultimate goal is still the Shrine of the Gilkstan Kingdom! So, if you find that the battle plan you are carrying out is blocked, then please don't be obsessed with the failure in front of you. Immediately change the battle plan and launch another attack! "
"This …"
Leila and Akim's side fell silent. After the chaos at the beginning, the Black Knight Regiment also chose to believe in ZERO as usual.
As for Ray Mingkai's side, needless to say.
Under the initiative of the backbone Ray Mingkai, ZERO's hundreds of plans were just a small interlude at the beginning of the battle.
The only one who felt strange was Cornelia.
But she didn't express anything too much. After all, in the early years, she had participated in the attack on the Gilkstan Kingdom and already knew how troublesome the prophecy princess was.
The reason why ZERO would make so many battle plans was probably to deal with the prophecy of the princess!
"Everyone! Attention! The carriage has arrived at the airdrop area! Now entering the disassembly procedure! Prepare to resist the impact! "
With Leila's reminder, the silver cylinder that wrapped everyone's body slowly opened under the control of the automatic disassembly procedure.
At this moment, it was pitch-black and boundless, but there were countless starlight converging into countless lights that lit up the land below that was shrouded in darkness.
"So beautiful!" The female member of the ZERO Unit, Kasaka Ayane, looked at the dark land below that was like a starry sky in amazement.
As women, Cornelia, Viretta, Karin, and even Lian Shan and Yucheng Shinichiro, who were entering space for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim at the beautiful scenery below.
"Really, really surprised me. Kai. Does the scenery that you and Uffi see include this? "
While everyone was amazed, Cornelia quietly sent a private message to Ray Mingkai.
"Yes. This is just part of the scenery that the princess and I see. In addition, the scenery we see is broader and more magnificent. "
"Really? Then, I look forward to the magnificent universe that will unfold in front of me in the future. "
"Attention, everyone! The airdrop has begun! "
The amazement didn't last long before it was interrupted by Leila's voice and the rapid descent.
At the same time, as the airdrop capsule came into contact with the atmosphere again, the violent tremors that surged like a tide also made most of the people who were just amazed by the cultural lights shut their mouths. They silently endured the violent tremors and the occasional shaking sound until a light gray cloud appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
At this moment, the personnel who participated in this airborne operation once again returned to Earth.
"Successfully entered the atmosphere! ZERO Unit, open the gliders! Department Q, Black Knight Regiment, please begin! "
"Roger!"
According to the battle plan, the ZERO Unit was to act as a feint and launch an attack from the plains of the Gilkstan Kingdom first.
This mission was believed that the ZERO Unit, which had been equipped with an AI body specially modified by Leoparde, was competent enough.
Behind the rapidly descending ZERO Unit, Lancelot, who had deployed the flying wing system at the same time, led the Knightmare to slowly decelerate and gradually widen the distance between them and the ZERO Unit.
"Kai. You just asked me whether it's a prison or a temple, right? "
Gawain turned his body and flew to Lancelot's side.
"Yes. ZERO, what's your choice? "Ray Mingkai nodded.
"Prison!" ZERO's answer was simple.
"Oh?" Ray Mingkai was surprised. "This is very surprising to me! Why did you choose prison? "
"No. That's not why I chose prison, but why did you choose the temple? "ZERO did not answer Ray Mingkai's question. Instead, he challenged Ray Mingkai.
Ray Mingkai, who was exposed by ZERO, shook his head.
"I didn't expect you to find out. I'm a little concerned about the temple. What's more, among us, I seem to know the princess's abilities and weaknesses the best. "
"Sure enough, I guessed it. Then, Knight Ray Mingkai, if the prison door doesn't have any effect on me, then you must be prepared for the temple. "
ZERO's action was simple.
After making the decision, Gawain, along with the Knightmare, turned around and flew toward the prison in another direction.
"Your Highness, and Viretta. Let's go! Based on the current time, I'm afraid the enemy hasn't been able to make the corresponding anti-air fire network. "
However,
The moment Ray Mingkai said this and flew into the sky above the capital of the Gilkstan Kingdom, dense anti-air fire suddenly burst out in the city below, sealing off the sky above the capital.
"What? They reacted so quickly? " The Valkyrie that Veletta was piloting did a few somersaults in the air, and it took a lot of effort to avoid the missiles that were shot from the blind spot below. She said with a hint of fear.
"No. It's not a quick reaction! It's the other party, the princess has predicted our appearance. "Looking at the strange but strangely familiar scene in front of her, Cornelia frowned.
Lei Mingkai lowered his head and glanced at the battle plan displayed on the screen.
According to ZERO's settings, as long as someone chose and began to implement the selected battle plan, then the battle plan in the middle of implementation would enter a state of lockdown.
At this moment, the battle plan presented in front of him and was blocked happened to be the frontal attack strategy adopted by ZERO's troops after the successful airborne landing.
"Did Archimedes succeed? It seems that the princess has died once. "
Ray Mingkai turned his head and glanced at the plains that suddenly fell into a fierce state of crossfire.
"Your Highness, Viretta, change the target! Give up cutting into the target area from the air. Change to Battle Plan 023. "
After making a prompt decision, Ray Mingkai casually selected a plan from the battle plan list, then sent a signal to Cornelia and Viretta.
Pirate Gao Da, who did not parachute with Ray Mingkai, still stayed in orbit, waiting for Ray Mingkai to send a signal.
Compared to the plains that were already in full swing and the capital where the entire sky was sealed off, the Great Sighing Prison, which was used to detain dissidents and criminals, was much calmer.
Under the bright moonlight, several black shadows flew through the night sky and landed in the shadows of the surrounding rocks protruding from the ground.
“ZERO。 Do you want to force a breakthrough? "
After Karin cautiously looked at the empty desert around her, she set her eyes on the huge sharp rocks that extended from the depths of the canyon surrounded by cliffs.
That was the goal of ZERO's mission this time, the Great Sighing Prison.
Due to the special terrain, there was only one way to the Great Sighing Prison, the bridge that extended to the gate of the prison.
"No. We don't need to force a breakthrough. Wait a minute. " ZERO rejected Karin's proposal and raised her hands to quickly tap back and forth on the keyboard in front of her.
Because the moment they landed in the Great Sighing Prison, ZERO discovered that Gawain's signal could connect to the Great Sighing Prison's signal.
ZERO's eyes lit up at this discovery, and a plan began to form in her mind.
Under ZERO's operation, a part of the Great Sighing Prison's control system quickly fell. Although there was still a certain extent before it completely fell, it was enough for ZERO and the others to enter the Great Sighing Prison silently.
"Let's go! Karin, Fan, Yucheng. I've already dealt with it. "
Gawain's figure flickered, and he strutted into the Great Sighing Prison with the Red Lotus Second Style and the two Akatsuki piloted by Yucheng Shinichiro, who had abandoned the almost useless flying wing system.
"What? The prison has fallen? "
Beside the machine specially developed for entering and exiting the C system, Princess Shyamuna of the Gilkstan Kingdom looked at the servant half-kneeling on the ground in surprise.
"Yes! Your Highness. A few minutes ago, a group of unidentified militants suddenly entered the Great Sighing Prison. "
"A few minutes ago?" Shyamuna's eyebrows twitched, and she suddenly thought of something.
"Is it an enemy's plot? Not only did they launch a surprise attack from the sky, but they also launched an attack on the Great Sighing Prison while we're dealing with the enemy in the capital?! "
Princess Shyamuna waved her hand, dismissed the servant, and turned to sit on the seat set for her.
"Feint to the east and attack in the west? Then, the purpose of the enemy's attack on the Great Sighing Prison is probably for that ancient gate, right? "
While coming to this conclusion, Shyamuna could not help but connect the recent changes in C's world with the attack in front of her.
"Could it be that this group of unidentified enemies wants to enter C's world through the gate we're guarding?"
Shyamuna, who was speculating the various possibilities, reached for her waist, took out the small pistol placed there, and aimed it at her neck.
"Then, is the enemy's intention evil, or good?"
"Ka!"
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
Shyamuna's life faded away.
At the same time, her wise eyes lit up with the unique light when GEASS was activated.
"Let me catch a glimpse of your true colors in death!"
