"Your Highness Lelouch." Just when Lelouch and Shumu Suzaku were chatting happily, a messenger hurried over.
"What's going on?" Lelouch was not angry because his rare chat with his friends was interrupted. Although it was only once, he was no longer so immature after experiencing the baptism of war.
Under normal circumstances, the messengers would only convey Yang Hui's orders. They were considered to be Yang Huizhen's direct department. And judging from how out of breath he was running, it should be a very urgent matter.
"Your Highness's urgent summons."
"Emergency summons?" Lelouch was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "I understand, I'll leave immediately."
The messenger saluted and hurried away. It seemed that he had other people who needed to convey the emergency summons.
"Then I'll go first, Suzaku, you have to work hard. When you are promoted to an official knight, I will go to Yang Hui to ask for someone." Lelouch patted Lelouch on the shoulder to encourage him.
"Well, I can do it, so do your best."
Lelouch nodded, turned around and left the camp of the trainee knights. Soon after, Shumu Suzaku's rest time ended and he returned to the team for the next training.
"The results of this year's promotion evaluation will be out soon. I hope I can pass..."
Just when Shumu Suzaku was thinking about this on his way back to the team, the instructor in charge of managing it found him.
"Yes, congratulations, Shumu Knight, you are now an official [Nightmare] Knight." The instructor said happily to Shumu Suzaku.
The instructor is a Bunitalia, and he is also an elite veteran who followed Yang Hui in the Northern and Southern Wars when the [Nightmare] Knights were first established. At the beginning, like most Bunitalia, he looked down on people from all over the world.
number.
But under the influence and influence of Yang Hui, the principles of the [Nightmare] Knights have penetrated into his bones. The strong is king. No matter where you come from, as long as you are good enough, you will be recognized and worthy of respect.
"But...but isn't there still one month left for this year's promotion evaluation?" Shumu Suzaku asked honestly.
"Yes, but there are exceptions. You regretted not being selected last year, but we have always seen your excellence. This year you have also made great efforts, and your results have gone from being better than the requirements of the formal evaluation, so
Several of our instructors jointly reported to apply for your early promotion."
"Thank you very much, instructor." Shumu Zhuque was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and thanked him excitedly.
"Haha, you don't need to thank us, we do this for selfish reasons." The instructor smiled frankly, "On the one hand, we will replenish the [Nightmare] with excellent new blood, and we will also be rewarded by His Highness; on the other hand...
…”
As he spoke, the instructor lowered his voice, leaned close to Shumu Zhuque's ear and said to him, "...there are many good talents in this class, and there are only a few places. You and the other guys who have been directly promoted should not occupy them.
It’s someone else’s spot.”
"Uh..." Shumu Suzaku was stunned for a moment, smiled coquettishly, and said, "I... I understand, instructor."
"Well, you are teachable." The instructor nodded with satisfaction, then patted Shumu Suzaku on the back, causing him to stagger, "Go pack your things quickly, your transfer order will be issued soon, and you will arrive at the new unit.
Don’t embarrass us!”
"yes!"
…
Because of the importance of the emergency summons, Lelouch and the ten Zodiacs arrived at the Governor's Mansion as quickly as possible. They were all confused as to why Yang Hui summoned them with the emergency summons. After all, [ELEVEN] suppressed
The battle has just ended, so there shouldn't be a huge war.
However, after Yang Hui informed everyone of Charles DI Bunitaria's secret order, everyone had different expressions.
Reggie Reggieta and Todo Kaishiro had very calm expressions, as if this matter had nothing to do with them; although Jeremiah, Veretta, and Joan Luo remained calm, there was a faint flash of excitement and excitement in their eyes.
Excited light; Ania continued to be expressionless, and then blatantly took photos of their own expressions; Gino, Orpheus, Audrey, and Monica all had complicated expressions and didn't know what they were thinking.
Finally, there was Lelouch, with a rather disdainful expression.
"Hey, after all this time, that old guy finally remembered to give you a reward?" Lelouch said, not just the suppression of the resistance organization, but how much credit can he get by just suppressing the operation?
He was talking about all the achievements of the [Nightmare] Knights since their establishment.
In terms of military exploits, the [Nightmare] Knights defeated [ELEVEN] with a very small army.
There are more in other aspects. The training system formulated by Yang Hui has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of Bunitaria's entire army. The scientific research department of the [Nightmare] Knights has accelerated the iterative update of the Empire's Knightmare. There are also various civilian technologies. Now
Bunitalia's technological level is at least fifty years ahead of the world's.
These are all the achievements of the [Nightmare] Knights. If not, Yang Hui’s achievements should be counted, right?
But after so many years, apart from the Governor of [ELEVEN], Yang Hui or the Knights of Nightmare have not received any rewards. Even the Governor of [ELEVEN] cannot be regarded as a reward, because [ELEVEN] was defeated by Yang Hui himself.
This is his territory.
"I've never cared about rewards or anything like that." Yang Hui shrugged, and at the same time glanced meaningfully at Jeremiah, Veretta and Qiong Luo who were a little excited.
Feeling Yang Hui's scrutinizing gaze, the three of them lowered their heads in shame. They are now the [Nightmare] Knights, and one of the elite twelve aces. They are Yang Hui's personal subordinates. Their loyalty should all be given to Yang Hui, shouldn't they?
It's only right to be excited about Charles DI Bunitalia's reward.
"We are now able to be self-sufficient. His rewards are not that important. If there are any, just accept them. Who would dislike it?"
This sentence also alleviated the shame of the three Jeremiahs and made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"The problem isn't the reward itself, is it?" Lelouch frowned and said, "If you really want to reward the [Nightmare] Knights, you don't need to make a special trip back to your home country. You must have other intentions."
"It's a very accurate judgment. According to the information that the imperial sister obtained from the Ninth Knight, several Knights of the Round Table are about to retire."
"This! Your Highness, please refuse the Emperor no matter what." Everyone present was stunned for a moment, except for Lelouch and Reggie Reggie, who immediately knelt on one knee and made a request to Yang Hui.
Yes, even now, the Knights of the Round Table are the highest honor among the imperial knights.
But they all know one thing, that is, after becoming the Knights of the Round Table, they are no longer the [Nightmare] Knights.
The Knights of the Round Table are the commanding heights of the knights, but most of the time they only exist symbolically, and there is basically no need for the Knights of the Round Table to take action.
Although it is safe, it is also a restriction. Being unable to take action means that you cannot continue to build meritorious deeds. After all, the Knights of the Round Table are just knights, not nobles. No matter how high or loud the honor is, it cannot compare with the actual reward.
"Don't worry, he won't ask for help. He didn't choose the Knights of the Round Table himself, and he won't take back the rewards he gave away. He won't do anything to slap himself in the face." Yang Hui was nervous.
The crowd said to appease their worries, "Generally speaking, the Knights of the Round Table are recommended to the emperor by the current Knights of the Round Table, and then the emperor decides. Before the recommendation, the recommender will personally recruit you, so after you go back, you must
There will be active Knights of the Round Table looking for you. If you don't want to, just refuse."
"Yes, your highness."X10
Hearing this, Jeremiah and others breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike Regeni Regeta and Todo Kaishiro, they were loyal to Yang Hui and they were also loyal to the Bunitalia Empire, and Regeni...
Lei Jita and Todo Kaishiro are loyal to Yang Hui himself.
"Then order all the knights, the [Nightmare] Knights to enter the second battle preparation, and be ready to go on an expedition at any time."
"Expedition!?" Everyone looked at Yang Hui in surprise.
"Yes, expedition." Yang Hui nodded seriously, "[ELEVEN] has stabilized and there will be no problems for more than ten years. As the sharpest blade of the empire, the [Nightmare] Knights have always remained in the sword.
It doesn’t fit in the sheath anymore.”
Everyone who heard this lowered their heads and fell into thinking, then nodded. When Yang Hui established his own [Nightmare] Knights, he used "the sharpest sword in the empire" as the reason. Now [ELEVEN] is stable, but it is still
There are many digital areas that have not been completely stabilized, and there are still more territories waiting for the empire to conquer.
"Two possibilities, one is the EU and the other is the Middle East." Lelouch raised two fingers, then bent one, "There are Cornelia and the [Rose Witch] Knights in the Middle East. We went there just
The icing on the cake; so the bigger possibility is to go to the EU.”
"EU? If I remember correctly, the one currently fighting against EU is Grand Duke Augusta Henry Hyland. The four knights under his command are also famous for their bravery and fighting skills." Monica recalled the information she knew.
She said that after combining the intelligence from both sides, she felt that no matter which side needed the [Nightmare] Knights to participate in the war.
"EU has been very lively recently." As he spoke, Yang Hui glanced at Regeni Rejeta, who understood and distributed the information prepared in advance.
"this!"
Intelligence shows that in order to cope with the fierce attack of the four knights under the command of Augusta Henry Hyland, the EU, which was divided by civil strife, once again gathered together, accumulated rich knowledge, and developed a new weapon under the leadership of the talented girl Anna Guleiman.
The new generation of Knightmare [Alexander] belonging to the EU, at the same time, under the leadership of Lena von Bregaard, a genius girl in command and combat, re-established the originally fragmented battle line, and imitated the [Nightmare] Knights and other elite knights.
model, a special operations team [W-ZERO] was formed.
For a time, the four brave and capable knights encountered huge obstacles, and the entire battle fell into a stalemate.
