Chapter 320 The Siege of Saitama Concentration Camp

The next day, Cornelia led the Second Army towards the Saitama concentration camp as planned, while Summit also applied for leave from school to accompany Cornelia to the camp. Although Lloyd also wanted to use the excuse of 'helping' to collect Lancelot's data, Cornelia flatly rejected it, making it clear that with the Second Knight of the Empire present, Number should step aside.

"The encirclement of the Saitama concentration camp is complete, and the Yamato Alliance base is also within the encirclement. More than half of the nearby residents are their assistants. In that case..." Inside the command ship, Dalton looked at the numerous friendly force identification signals marked like stars on the huge screen and reported to Cornelia.

"What is the impact on the overall success rate of the operation?" Cornelia asked immediately after hearing Dalton's report.

"The initial calculation shows a decrease of 0.2."

"Within expectations? Very good." Cornelia nodded immediately, then turned her gaze to the few former staff officers in silver-gray army uniforms on her left and said, "You all participated in the battle in the Shinjuku slums, didn't you?"

Upon hearing Cornelia's question, the officials of the General Staff immediately placed their right hands on their chests, bowed to Cornelia, and said, "Yes, Your Highness Cornelia, we are grateful for your leniency, we..." to wash away the humiliation of the Shinjuku incident.

Cornelia immediately interrupted, saying, "That's not what we're talking about!" She then shifted her gaze to the area surrounding the screen and said, "Don't you think they look very similar?"

"Huh?" the officials from the General Staff Office asked in confusion.

“And the situation in Shinjuku!” Cornelia’s lips curled into a victorious smile as she spoke.

Seeing the puzzled look on the faces of the staff officers, Summit frowned and explained, "ZERO is a radical criminal. In order to lure him out, Her Highness deliberately created a situation similar to the battle in the Shinjuku slums. If ZERO is a very arrogant person, he will definitely come to kill Her Highness."

“Governor…this means the Governor’s safety is in danger…” Compared to the calm and composed Royal Guard on the right, the officials of the General Staff were all terrified. Clovis had died in the same way before. If anything happened to Governor Cornelia this time, their future would be sealed.

After hearing Summit's explanation, Cornelia couldn't help but show an approving expression, and then looked at the officials of the General Staff Office and said seriously, "War is a battle for dignity and life."

"The military has launched an encirclement operation against the Saitama concentration camp, where terrorists are hiding. Due to Governor Cornelia's personal command on site, an entry ban has been issued. The general offensive will begin in two hours. After this operation, the next area..." News media provided comprehensive coverage of Cornelia's encirclement operation at the Saitama concentration camp through television and radio.

"Why do we even have to report the time?" a bespectacled radio worker asked Deharut next to him.

“She’s provoking ZERO,” Diharut explained to his colleague, staring at the screen.

In Lelouch's bedroom, C.C. was lying on the bed pasting stickers she had collected from eating pizza. She was in a very good mood, but Lelouch had a stern face, picked up a suitcase, and was about to storm out. C.C. immediately laughed and said, "What's wrong? Why are you making such a scary face?"

Without a word, Lelouch took out the ZERO suit from the box and stuffed in the Britannian infantry armor he had obtained last time. C.C. guessed his intention. Considering the identities of the two brothers, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. Lying on her side on the bed, hugging a pillow, she looked at Lelouch and asked, "Are you planning to accept the enemy's provocation and go?"

“She even came all the way to entertain me, and besides, I have some questions for Cornelia.” Lelouch replied with a smile, not even glancing at C.C. as he continued tidying up his winning items.

CC immediately smiled and said, "Which do you think is more important, destroying Britain or finding the murderer of your mother?"

As Lelouch zipped up the box, he said, "These two things are equally important. The British royal family has always been fighting over the right to the throne. No, they've been encouraged to fight, by that man."

CC immediately smiled and said, "But that's also what makes Britain so powerful; only the best person who wins in the struggle will become emperor."

Lelouch nodded and said, "That's right. The weak will lose everything and be trampled on. Britain is such a country, such a world."

CC laughed and said, "The law of the jungle is an immutable rule of nature."

"If that's the case, then what about Nunnally?" Lelouch said angrily, slamming the box shut. "Because of weakness, we have to give up? I absolutely refuse to accept that. I'll destroy this world..." With that, Lelouch suddenly stood up.

C.C. looked at the agitated Lelouch. Although her life experience told her it was a trap, she also knew she couldn't stop him. So she smiled and said, "Lelouch, I'll be very troubled if you die before you fulfill the contract between us."

Seeing that C.C. remained unmoved, Lelouch immediately smiled and said, "Your words and actions are quite different."

CC laughed and said, "Because I couldn't stop you, and I discovered a better contractor."

"So that's how it is. You've set your sights on my brother, haven't you? But you're destined to fail. My brother won't be manipulated by anyone." Lelouch said to C.C. with a smile.

Upon hearing Lelouch's words, C.C. immediately laughed and said, "You two brothers are really interesting. Neither of you wants to be controlled by fate, but that's why I like you. I don't want to lose you." As she spoke, she suddenly pulled a pistol from her sleeve, pointed it at Lelouch, and continued, "I won't kill you, I'll just pierce your legs. I won't let you go."

Seeing C.C.'s reaction, Lelouch smiled and said with a look of sudden realization, "So that's how it is. You can't use Geass, can you? But I expected that. If you could use Geass yourself, you wouldn't need to rely on me." As he spoke, he pulled out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at C.C.

Do you think I'm afraid of guns?

“Yes, I will.” Lelouch said confidently, pointing the pistol at his temple and sneering, “Before I met you, I was just a dead man, a powerless corpse pretending to be alive, living a meaningless life, a life like a walking corpse, no different from slowly dying. If I want to go back to the way I was before, I might as well…” Lelouch pulled the safety, pulled the firing pin, and placed his index finger on the trigger.

"Heh... I didn't expect you to be so bold. You know I might abandon you and go to your brother, yet you still dare to threaten me with your own life." C.C. lowered her gun and said with a smile when she saw Lelouch's actions.

Lelouch immediately smiled and said, "Because I believe that even if you and your brother made a contract, you won't abandon me."

..............................

"Rat-a-tat-tat..." Under the guns of the British infantry, one by one, the 11 residents fell to the ground. This siege of the Saitama concentration camp was almost identical to the Shinjuku incident, with the massacre of civilians being copied by the British infantry as a standard practice.

"Why? There are still children here. We didn't do anything!" Faced with the British army's bloody massacre, an 11-year-old resident immediately shouted in protest, hoping that the British infantry would show mercy.

"That's why the residents of this concentration camp are not reporting the existence of terrorists, but are harboring and protecting them. This is a crime of treason against the state." The British infantrymen were spouting out the logic of outright robbers, and as they spoke, they raised their machine guns to prepare for a burst of fire.

A huge voice suddenly rang out: "Assistant!" As soon as the words were spoken, a black giant appeared in the soldiers' sight.

"Lord KnightOfTwo!" the soldiers exclaimed in surprise.

Using his sensors, Summit scanned the remaining residents of District 11 and said, "I must have issued an order prohibiting the torture and killing of the residents here! Why are you not following my orders?"

“I’m sorry, Your Highness KnightOfTwo, but General Dalton has also given the order to purge all those involved,” the soldiers’ leader said immediately.

“Then, from now on, as long as they don’t resist, you are not allowed to make a move, otherwise I will punish you all for violating military orders, understand?” Samit shouted immediately upon hearing this.

“Yes, my load,” the soldiers saluted immediately.

Summit, piloting the 'Fallen Angel,' approached the remaining residents of District 11. His gaze swept over them, noticing the terror and fear in their eyes. He frowned slightly and addressed the dozens of British soldiers, saying, "Take these people outside the encirclement. Give the elderly and children enough food and water. Treat the wounded. I'll come back to check on them after the battle." He then turned and left.

After Summit left, a soldier immediately asked his captain, "Captain, are we really going to do this? These people are just Eleven..."

"Idiot, this is an order personally given by His Highness KnightOfTwo. If you don't want to die, carry out the mission!"

"Yes, Captain."

Samite, sitting inside the Fallen Angel, knew that this group of people might be the only ones he could save. Even though he had issued an order prohibiting the torture and killing of residents, under Dalton's order to "clean up those involved," the British soldiers could justifiably kill all the poor.

Meanwhile, inside the command ship, Dalton watched the screen gradually change color and reported to Cornelia, "The cleanup of those involved has been completed."

Chapter 321 Operation Saitama Concentration Camp

“There’s plenty of time, let’s begin.” Cornelia issued the order to destroy the Saitama concentration camp according to the original plan. Then she said to Summit, “Summit, you can come back now, the battle has begun.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Now that Cornelia had spoken, Samit did not stay on the battlefield that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Announce to the entire army: Operation to destroy Saitama Concentration Camp has begun. All troops, move to Level 1 combat configuration." With the battle order issued, nearly a hundred Sunderland aircraft, infantry companies, armored units, and army aviation units, which had been on standby, joined the combat zone in batches in an orderly manner, raising large clouds of dust.

Behind the command ship, there was a row of Sunderland pilots, the original Pureblood pilots.

"Why doesn't Her Highness Cornelia order us to attack?" Jeremiah, who had become a member of Samit's guards, complained.

Gilville, also a pureblood, said viciously, "Because of ORANGE! You should feel very fortunate to have become that man's personal guard. Thanks to you, our path to promotion and titles has been blocked."

“But that’s ZERO, not His Highness Summit…” Jeremiah said immediately.

"Should we talk about that again? Humph..."

"Zero, was that student really an accomplice?" Violetta, who had seen Lelouch during the Shinjuku battle, thought to herself as she looked at the somewhat disheveled Jeremiah. Now that she had taken over Jeremiah's position, theoretically her future was bright, but she hadn't forgotten Jeremiah, who had once been so kind to her, and was determined to clear his name.

"The suppression of the fourth district outside the city is complete, the fourth and eighth squadrons..." Listening to the latest battlefield report, Summit simply stood quietly beside Cornelia, because he knew that the so-called suppression was just the beginning of the massacre.

“Exactly the same. Even if Clovis is replaced by Cornelia, Britain remains completely unchanged.” Lelouch, dressed in a British infantry uniform, stood on a high place, frowning as he looked at the 11 residents being tortured and killed, and sighed inwardly.

"Which unit do you belong to? State your unit name and ID," a Sunderland helicopter pulled up with its slashing blade and jumped in front of Lelouch, asking. These guys weren't stupid; they were quite good at counter-infiltration work.

“I am Dario Torres from the Third Reconnaissance Squadron. Can I report this to headquarters after obtaining it from terrorists?” Lelouch replied calmly, taking out a game disc he was tired of playing from his pocket.

"Disk?" The pilot inside Sunderland, like a cat smelling fish, eager to make a name for himself, quickly climbed out of the cockpit and looked at Lelouch, saying, "However, before that, I need to confirm your ID."

“I understand, but before that, I’d like to borrow your Sunderland.” Lelouch said, noticing the driver’s eyes turn red instantly.

"Okay, use it carefully," the driver said immediately.

"Thank you very much." Lelouch immediately showed a victorious smile; the conditions for victory had been met so quickly.

....................................

Somewhere underground at the Saitama concentration camp, terrorists are frantically discussing countermeasures.

"The outside won't work."

"Is it impossible to break through the Sakikyo Line?"

"The armored train is stuck in traffic."

"The tunnels are also unusable."

"Where are Akabane and Shirohiro's reinforcements?"

"It's fine if it's just one person, but it's impossible if it's a group!"

“Mr. Quan…” A terrorist responsible for liaison ran into the command room.

"How are things? Toda and Kawaguchi?" The resistance leader looked up at him; the reinforcements from those two places were the last hope for the Saitama concentration camp.

"Compared to this, look at the stuff..." The terrorist who had just rushed in hurriedly took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and turned on the pre-set communication channel.

"I am Zero." Lelouch's deep voice rang out, startling the resistance members present who were speaking through the walkie-talkie. The leader immediately said, "Zero?"

"Zero, you mean that one...?"

"You've probably heard about the Shinjuku incident, right? Listen to my orders, and you'll be saved." Ignoring the whispers of the terrorists on the other end of the walkie-talkie, Lelouch spoke confidently. Given the current situation, the terrorists had no choice but to obey ZERO's orders. The anxious group didn't notice that the eyes of the person who brought the walkie-talkie had turned red.

Following Zero's instructions, the terrorists went to the designated location to receive the winning item—several Sunderland helicopters that Lelouch had seized from the British pilots using Geass.

Inside the command center of the command ship, Dalton calmly directed his troops to suppress the terrorists' negligible resistance.

"B-12 suppression completed, F-7 no enemy reported, D-24..." Watching the area representing the Saitama concentration camp on the screen gradually being covered in red, the destruction operation of the Saitama concentration camp went very smoothly. Apart from some inexplicable communication interruptions in Sutherland earlier, the British side had not suffered any losses.

"The Dragon Team is moving towards 516..."

"Yes, myload, move to 516."

Sitting in the cockpit of Sunderland, the ugly man, following the instructions of his staff, scouted the area and, while shifting position, said with a laugh, "Boring, isn't that guy named ZERO here?"

The pilot of the other Sunderland, following behind him, immediately said, "They're just terrorists at best..." Before he could finish speaking, two anti-tank missiles arced through the air from the 9 o'clock position, striking the Sunderland's electronic eye. The two men, who had just been mocking the enemy's weakness, didn't even have time to activate the automatic disengagement system before a Sunderland assault rifle pierced their cockpit.

"They're here! They're really here. Just like Zero said." Seeing how easily the two Sunderland fighters were destroyed, the terrorists shouted excitedly, and at the same time, they were even more convinced that Zero could save them. With this trust, Lelouch could calmly arrange the battle plan according to the successful experience in Shinjuku. Sitting in the Sunderland, Lelouch stared at the identification signal on the screen, smiled and muttered to himself, "Next, should I lure Cornelia out, or continue to let them create an opening..." He picked up his phone and pressed the call button, saying, "R1, R2, retreat like this and lure the enemy to the entrance of N2. B7, fire at the 2 o'clock position to attract the enemy's attention. P5 squad, begin volley fire."

"The Jesta team has lost contact... Enemy aircraft confirmed on G-47... The Lakistan team appears to have encountered an ambush during the engagement."

"The enemy appears to have captured one of our Sutherland units." Based on previous intelligence indicating that some Sutherland units had gone missing, the staff concluded this.

"Same as in Shinjuku."

"It's appeared! Zero?" The officers in the General Staff, their faces grim from the Shinjuku incident, exclaimed.

"N2, move to the upper right..." Under Lelouch's command, an armed helicopter was struck in the engine by Sunderland's slashing scythe.

"R4, fire!" Sunderland's assault rifle fired a burst at an unsuspecting heavy tank, which was immediately engulfed in flames from the explosion.

"N1, attack the guy on the left." British soldier Sunderland was hit in the cockpit by a slashing sickle fired from his right rear, and the pilot was killed instantly.
