The latest model of Lancelot has not been recharged.
Because of an irresponsible guy who was obsessed with studying, the only machine that Remingkai could use was the original Lancelot.
As for the Pirate Gundam, it has become a symbol of Euphemia's military power.
In order to declare Euphemia's military achievements, Schneizel suggested that Euphemia's experience of riding the Corsair Gundam on the battlefield of Europa many times should be widely publicized.
In this way, the image of a wise and powerful empress who is good at writing and fighting is created in the public perception.
Regarding this point, Euphemia was unwilling and didn't quite agree with it, but after Cornelia's persuasion, she finally nodded.
Therefore, while Euphemia was entangled in political affairs, her symbol, the Pirate Gundam, was unable to take action and could only stand silently behind the throne, temporarily serving as a symbol of imperial power.
Time passes.
No matter how busy things are in this world, it is finally time for the Administration to issue a task.
During this period of time, no matter how the Macross Wind Chime and the Elf that arrived later worked together to search, Doctor Chisali and his group, who had been discovered many times, disappeared into this world once again like phantoms.
It's as if it never existed in the first place.
However, the traces of battles outside the imperial capital Pandoragon, the Europa battlefield, and even around the Kingdom of Kyrgyzstan all prove that this invasion did indeed occur.
"It seems that the mouse has once again escaped from under the cat's paw. Our enemy's escape technology is keeping pace with the times!"
Looking at the report of finding nothing, Captain Hudson of the Wind Chime sighed helplessly.
No matter how unwilling I was, I could only accept the status quo and issued the order to return.
"Lei Mingkai. I hope we can still fight side by side. Goodbye!"
After seeing off the Macross Wind Chimes, Lei Mingkai also had an additional order in his hands.
This was the order He Meimei personally handed into his hands.
At the same time, it is also information about the scepter that Schneizel presented to Euphemia some time ago and then handed over to He Meimei.
"The above is based on the analysis report on the scepter, and the following is the task assigned to you."
This was what He Meimei said when she handed over the order to Lei Mingkai.
After Lei Mingkai glanced at the cover with the City of Stars logo printed on it, he casually opened the first page.
What caught his eye was a series of data and formulas that Lei Mingkai had no way of understanding.
When Lei Mingkai saw those data and formulas, he was confused on the spot.
In desperation, Lei Mingkai took a casual glance and turned directly to the last summary text.
At this moment, the figure of the white cat Zero suddenly appeared on Lei Mingkai's shoulder.
"Zero, why are you here? Aren't you staying in your palace?"
Upon noticing the arrival of the White Cat Zero, Lei Mingkai was a little surprised.
The white cat Zero, which has become the sacred beast of the empire, appears in the form of a snow-white lion all day long, wandering around the palace complex with the maids day and night.
At first glance,
It's almost like a lion patrolling its territory.
“Tired of shopping!”
The white cat Zero opened his mouth, his tone a little bored.
Lei Mingkai glanced at Type-0, which had transformed back into a white cat form, curled his lips and said nothing more.
It doesn’t matter if you are tired of it,
Otherwise, Lei Mingkai would still ask White Cat Zero to go out with him on a mission.
"Huh? The scepter is also made of fragments?"
Unlike the random Lei Mingkai, the sharp-eyed white cat Zero immediately saw the information described in the summary text.
"Yes. It's not fragments, but something made by imitating fragments using some technology that cannot be analyzed yet."
While talking, Lei Mingkai, who was turning pages, suddenly made a move.
Sensing something strange, the white cat Zero jumped slightly and landed on the table. He stretched out his paw and pressed the half-opened page on the table.
"This, the fragment's reaction?"
The content that appeared in front of him made White Cat Zero fall into deep thought.
“Does that city have the technology to monitor traces of debris?”
"No, it's not. It's a derivative of reverse cracking technology based on the data that can be analyzed so far."
Lei Mingkai shook his head, put the file on the table, leaned back in his chair, and breathed a slow sigh of relief.
"This is also a technological breakthrough brought about by that scepter. Although I don't want to admit it, the man named Chisali seems to be ahead of us."
White Cat Zero was silent for a while.
"In other words, it is very likely that some of the fragments left behind by our hometown will be controlled by the other party?"
"Isn't this an obvious answer? Even if there is no direct connection with the Zero, the previous Destroyer King Kong, and the Scarlet Giant, there may be indirect connections with that man."
Lei Mingkai raised his hands, put his chin on his head, and said thoughtfully: "In the foreseeable future, as long as our purpose has not changed, I am afraid we will meet that man again."
"Click!"
White Cat Zero popped out its claws and pierced the table deeply.
"When the time comes, we will fight until death."
"Well, we will continue until we die."
After the former nightmare Asmodai appeared, Lei Mingkai knew that the man hiding behind it might be closely responsible for the destruction of the world of Soth's mechanical beasts.
"Boom!"
There was a knock on the door.
Lei Mingkai and White Cat Zero looked at each other and nodded.
"Please come in!"
It was Veretta who opened the door.
"Knight Commander, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
When Veretta walked in, she immediately saw the white cat Zero sitting on the table. While showing a hint of surprise, she lowered her head slightly and apologized.
"No. Don't worry about Type-0. Veretta, is something wrong?"
Lei Mingkai waved his hand.
According to this time, Veretta should be dealing with matters related to the conversion of Q Department into the Guards Knights. Why did she come here suddenly?
"Yes! It's an emergency! Knight Commander, the Eleventh Prince Lelouch and His Highness Britannia are missing! Also missing with him is c.c."
"Lelouch is missing?!"
The subarctic zone is home to coniferous forests and is also an inaccessible area.
In this dense jungle, you can see reindeer, sable and other common movements in the coniferous forest environment, and you may also see ferocious wild bears, but it is rare to see humans.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
The sound of dead leaves and branches being trampled to pieces and the snow being trampled kept ringing from far to near.
As the footsteps got closer, the sound of heavy breathing followed closely.
"Lelouch. Why are you here?"
Carrying a huge luggage backpack that at first glance weighed at least 40 kilograms, the green-haired girl wearing thick cold-proof clothing frowned and looked at the boy in front of her who was also carrying the same weight.
"Just keep up. Where does all this nonsense come from! c.c." The long trek made the young man lose interest in talking, and all that was left was the will to launch the final attack towards the finish line.
However,
At this critical moment, the girl following him suddenly sat on the thick snow and shouted loudly.
"I can't do it anymore! I have no strength! I need to rest!"
The girl's complaint made the boy frown, but in the end the boy turned around and walked to the girl's side, carefully leaning against the tree trunk and sitting down.
"Does a witch know when she's tired?"
Lelouch looked at C.C with contempt.
"Everyone knows how tired you are! Besides, I'm still the injured one!"
c.c snorted coldly, and casually opened his sleeves, revealing his scarred arms.
When he saw the criss-crossed scars of varying depths, Lelouch fell silent.
In his understanding, c.c is undoubtedly an immortal witch. No matter what kind of wound it is, even if it is fatal, it can be healed in a short time.
but,
Now,
The wounds on c.c's body seemed like gangrene attached to the bones, which could not be erased or cured.
"What? Feeling guilty?"
c.c glanced at the silent Lelouch.
C.c has seen this look many times.
As long as she reveals the scars on her body, Lelouch will remain silent and will no longer argue or argue with her.
Indeed, boring!
"Let's go!"
As soon as c.c exerted his strength, he stood up again with the heavy backpack, then took steady and powerful steps, and walked towards the goal step by step.
There was no sign of him shouting that he was tired and could no longer move around.
Lelouch frowned, didn't say anything more, stood up, and followed C.C.
However, before walking more than ten meters, c.c. who was walking in front suddenly stopped.
"Lelouch, are you blaming yourself? You are blaming yourself for not protecting Nunnally, and you are blaming yourself for not protecting me, right?"
Lelouch stopped, looked at C.C. who had his back turned to him, and suddenly sneered a few times.
"Yes! I'm blaming myself for not being able to protect Nunnally, so I still don't know where Nunnally is, but I'm not blaming myself for not protecting you. c.c. Don't forget, you are immortal.
The witch!"
As he spoke, Lelouch raised his steps again, crossed C.C., and once again led the way.
However, seeing Lelouch leading the way, c.c muttered slightly.
"A duplicitous guy."
After advancing some distance, the target was already visible in the distance.
c.c stopped again.
Lelouch, who noticed C.C's movements, stopped and turned around to look over, only to see C.C showing a serious face.
"Lelouch, are you serious? You rely on yourself to find information about Nunnally?"
Lelouch lowered his gaze.
After a while, he raised his eyes and said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether I am serious or not, I have only one purpose now, and that is to find Nunnally, and I must find Nunnally."
"Isn't it a better choice to rely on the power of the empire to find it?"
c.c's proposal is a good one.
But Lelouch shook his head.
"No. Yuffie and the others can't find Nunnally. Because the one who hid Nunnally was not someone else, but "me"."
"Emperor Lelouch?!" c.c was stunned for a moment, but then he thought about it and realized that this possibility was indeed very high.
During the days when he was imprisoned by that Emperor Lelouch, c.c could not see Nunnally at all, and could only learn the news that Nunnally was fine from the emperor's mouth.
If there is anyone else in this world who can hold clues to Nunnally's whereabouts, he is the only one.
only
"The emperor is dead."
While Bai Wu was hesitating, C.C told a fact that Lelouch could not refute.
"Yes! He's dead."
Lelouch nodded.
The touch of blood still remains on his face.
Even though all of this happened in the world of c, after returning to reality, Lelouch still clearly felt the touch at that time, as well as the last words left by the emperor before his death.
"Let's go! c.c. will be here soon."
The two of them walked forward, heading into the depths of the coniferous forest.
The wind has risen.
The increasingly strong wind blew up the remaining snow, bringing a new round of heavy snow into the coniferous forest, burying all the footsteps of the two people.
The royal capital Pandoragon.
After being busy for several days, Veretta, who directed the intelligence personnel to collect information about Lelouch's whereabouts, walked into Lei Mingkai's office with a solemn expression, only to find that at this time, in addition to Lei Mingkai and the white cat, there was no one else in the office.
In addition to Type Zero, there are a few more people.
The leaders are the new queen Euphemia and Cornelia.
"I'm so sorry! It's really a sin not to notice His Majesty's presence!"
As soon as she saw Euphemia, Veretta immediately knelt on the ground and apologized repeatedly.
"No, get up! Sir Veretta, there is no need to be polite. Tell me what you have learned!" Euphemia waved her hand, signaling Veretta to get to the point.
"Yes! According to the report of the intelligence personnel, we have figured out the general movements of His Highness Lelouch and Miss c.c. However, when the personnel subsequently dispatched arrived at the target woods, they found that their traces had been traced by someone.
A heavy snowstorm wiped it away."
Veretta introduced all the clues she had so far.
"Erase it?"
As soon as Lei Mingkai heard the news, he immediately felt bad.
If Lelouch and C.C wanted to evade tracking, it would undoubtedly be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack in such a vast no-man's land.
Not to mention, there is a heavy snowstorm now.
Lei Mingkai pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty, is there any news from Your Highness Nunnally?"
Euphemia looked at Cornelia when she heard this.
Since Lei Mingkai's Q Department was busy transforming into the Knights of the Queen's Guards, he could only leave the task of finding Nunnally to Cornelia.
Cornelia showed a hint of shame and shook her head helplessly.
"I personally searched the entire palace and interrogated all the people who had seen Nunnally at that time, but I didn't come up with any results."
Cornelia paused and made a guess that even she couldn't believe.
"It was as if Nunnally disappeared from this world suddenly. No one knew, and no one noticed."
"How could it be?" Euphemia also couldn't believe this speculation.
"No. Maybe it will be like this. I don't know."
Lei Mingkai expressed his own speculation.
"If this were not the case, Lelouch would not have suddenly left without saying goodbye. After all, in this world, the energy of the Britannian Empire is powerful enough. But, if we look beyond this world
, the Brittanian Empire is just a baby that can only crawl away."
"For this reason, Lelouch may have found a way to find Nunnally."
Lei Mingkai lowered his head and looked at the analysis document on the scepter on the table.
"Perhaps, in the future, we can meet Lelouch in a certain world."
