My Anime Girlfriends

Seeing the shy Euphemia, Summit smiled slightly, moved to sit next to Euphemia, and looked into the distance, saying to Euphemia, "Euphemia, I have something I need your help with."

"What?" Yuffie asked, somewhat surprised that Summit needed her help.

"This matter...is related to Suzaku."

"Suzaku-kun, what's wrong? What happened?" Euphemia asked with concern when Summit mentioned Suzaku.

"Don't worry! With my orders in place, even if the officials in District 11 are dissatisfied, they won't dare to do anything to Suzaku. Besides, the special detachment Suzaku belongs to is the Second Prince Schneizel's troops, and the officials in District 11 have no right to touch him," Summit hurriedly explained.

"That's good. What is it?" Yuffie breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked Summit.

"I want you to choose Suzaku as your knight. It's a shame that he's only my personal guard. Besides... I'd feel more at ease entrusting your safety to him."

Yuffie knew that Summit was thinking of her, and immediately nodded happily, saying, "I understand, if it's Suzaku-kun!"

Chapter 333 The Battle of Naritasan (Part 1)

The following day, the British army began to encircle Naritayama. In order to wipe out this largest resistance organization entrenched in Japan, Cornelia specially dispatched three armored divisions and 162 'Sunderland' Knightmare aircraft, and even her own direct troops.

On the bridge of the G-1 command ship, Dalton analyzed the battle situation to Cornelia, Summit, and others: "It can be confirmed that the Japanese Liberation Front's base is in this area. We have divided four battalions into seven and ambushed them around the perimeter. Then we just wait for the governor's order to close the encirclement and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."

"Isn't it possible that the enemy will emerge from outside the encirclement?" Yuffie, who insisted on coming along, asked, pointing to a road southwest of Naritasan after Dalton finished speaking.

“ZERO?” Cornelia said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned, after hearing Euphemia’s comment.

"Rest assured, the surrounding roads and mountain paths will be blocked as soon as the operation begins," Dalton replied confidently.

“We still have allies. If we show ourselves, it will be the end for ZERO,” Cornelia added confidently. Guilford next to her also had a nonchalant expression, and the staff around them were looking at Euphemia with the same disdain they would show for an outsider. This made Euphemia, who was not very confident to begin with, lower her head.

Seeing this, Summit frowned slightly. Memories from Lelouch's perspective flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. He knew that in the final, crucial moment of the battle, Toudou and his Four Holy Swords had held back Cornelia's personal guard, while Lelouch had seized an opportunity and cornered Cornelia. Had Suzaku not arrived in time, Cornelia might have perished. He then said, "Your Highness, I think we should reinforce the blockade line! The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing; no battle is guaranteed to be won. Even with a significant disparity in troop strength, it's still possible to turn the tide. It's best to be cautious."

Upon hearing Summit's words, Cornelia, who was well-versed in military strategy, knew that Summit's words made sense, so she ordered, "Dalton, double the number of troops used to block the road, just in case."

"Yes, Your Highness."

While Cornelia was deploying her troops, Lelouch and his Black Knights also began their operation. Lelouch first used Geass to control the sentries of the British army and the Japanese Liberation Front, making them "ignore any anomalies." Then he sent signals and contacted them, instructing them to follow the route Lelouch had prepared and secretly ascend the mountain to the designated assembly point.

At this moment, Lelouch was sitting in a sentry post on the Japanese Liberation Front, flipping through a novel on his desk to pass the time while waiting for his subordinates. The soldiers on the Japanese Liberation Front around him were still leisurely playing Go to pass the time. Inadvertently, Lelouch's eyes caught sight of a green-haired woman in white outside the window.

"CC, what are you doing here?" Lelouch walked out of the house, annoyed. It would be troublesome if CC were seen by others like this, as his relationship with this woman was secret (and even more so with his brother).

"I told you I would protect you, didn't I?" C.C., who was admiring the scenery, immediately turned around and said after hearing Lelouch's voice.

"Acting like a guardian!" Lelouch frowned as he listened to C.C.'s tone.

"Lelouch, why are you Lelouch?" C.C. simply glanced back at Lelouch, leaving behind a puzzling question, before looking up into the distance.

"I don't have time to talk philosophy with you." Lelouch walked quickly toward C.C., his face expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil. Since C.C. came into his life, his life had undergone earth-shattering changes. He could never guess what C.C. was thinking, yet she could see through his deepest confusion and point it out without any mercy.

“The family name has been changed to Lamperouge, but Lelouch himself has survived. How naive, unable to sever ties with the past!” Ignoring Lelouch’s approach, C.C. looked up into the distance and muttered to herself.

"So, C.C. is really going too far, isn't it? It doesn't sound like a human name at all," Lelouch retorted, dissatisfied.

Hearing Lelouch say this, C.C. immediately turned around and looked at him, saying, "Lelouch, do you know why snow is white? It's because it has forgotten its original color. I also have my own name, but only one person can call it that, so I've always used this name." Snowflakes falling from the sky blurred their intersecting vision, and the mountain wind simultaneously lifted C.C.'s long, emerald-green hair.

CC's answer startled Lelouch. He began to realize that apart from knowing that CC liked pizza, had a spoiled and willful temper, and was his accomplice, he knew nothing about her name, birthday, zodiac sign, blood type, height, weight, measurements, etc.

………………

"The entire army is in position."

"I understand. Vice Governor Euphemia will remain on the G-1 command ship as planned to provide rear support, and she will be in charge of the medical team."

"YES Your Highness".

"Queen!"

"Summit? Are you talking about Euphemia?"

"No, I just wanted to say... be careful!"

"Understood, commence the operation." With Cornelia's order, British soldiers from Sunderland jumped out of armored train carriages or parachuted from small unmanned transport aircraft, quickly assembled at the designated combat location, and launched a fierce attack on the predetermined target.

"Is that unit in the rear the Special Deployment Guide Technology Department?" Yuffie asked knowingly, pointing to a yellow cursor on the screen, following Summit's instructions.

"They are friendly forces piloted by His Highness Summit's personal guards, Eleven," an advisor replied respectfully, but emphasized Suzaku's identity at the end.

"Does this refer to Lancelot?"

“It wasn’t originally allowed for Number to pilot Knightmare.” The staff officer’s tone became noticeably disdainful when discussing Lancelot’s pilot. “However, that unit was formed by the Second Prince, and Suzaku is His Highness Summit’s personal guard; we have no right to interfere. Yet, they said they hoped to have as many opportunities as possible to participate in combat…”

"In that case, let Lancelot go out and support Governor Cornelia."

“No, we haven’t received orders for Lancelot to go into battle. If Lancelot is to be deployed, we must consult Governor Cornelia and His Highness Summit.” The advisor beside him quickly stopped him.

"Well then, let's just wait it out for now!" Yuffie said helplessly, seeing the disapproving expressions on everyone's faces.

In the command center of the Japanese Liberation Front, Major General Katase rushed to the screen and asked the soldiers monitoring it, "You said it was an enemy attack?"

"The British army has surrounded the entire Narita Mountain, and the number of Knightmare has exceeded 100." The sergeant sitting in front of the radar immediately saluted and replied.

“We are completely surrounded, and all the underground collaborators have been arrested.”

"Major General Katase, the Cornelia Army has sent an ultimatum urging us to surrender."

"Fool, if we are destroyed here, then the Japanese resistance movement is finished." Major General Katase, facing a desperate situation, immediately declared.

"So, Major General, shall we launch an offensive or defend the city?" the adjutant asked anxiously, as solving the immediate problem was the top priority at this moment.

"Toudou, where is Toudou?" Major General Katase asked anxiously.

The adjutant immediately replied, "He went to Kyoto to retrieve 'Rogue. Modified,' accompanied by the Four Holy Swords. They should be back by now."

The adjutant's words made Major General Katase's heart sink. Looking at the signals representing the enemy on the screen, he said, "Todo can't make it. The 'rogue' is on the verge of attacking. Break through one corner of the encirclement, break out, and risk Japan's dignity and spirit to turn the tide." When he said the last half of the sentence, Katase had a sense of desolation, like a hero at the end of his road.

"Do I really want to do this?" Fan was still hesitant about whether to attack the British army, because it was still possible to escape now, and with their strength, fighting the British army head-on would only lead to their death.

"Our opponent is Cornelia. Her army is one of the strongest in Britain." Lelouch's words, devoid of any emotion, sounded muffled through Zero's mask.

"Therefore, we should join forces with the Japanese Liberation Front..." Zero's attitude was firm, and he suggested that Zero cooperate with the Japanese Liberation Front.

"Now that things have come to this... Ougi, don't you trust me?" Lelouch didn't respond to Ougi's suggestion, but instead pointed out her confusion.

"What did you say? I asked you to become the leader." Fan immediately said, his expression very firm. He genuinely wanted ZERO to become the leader of his group.

“Then there is only one answer…fight,” Lelouch said, waving his cloak. As he spoke, he glanced at his team members behind him and pointed to the British troops who were gradually surrounding them.

"What...what are you talking about? Stop joking, ZERO. Judging by that formation, we're completely surrounded, we don't even have a way to retreat..." Yu Cheng pointed at the densely packed Sunderland troops in the distance and immediately shouted angrily.

"It's been sealed off. The only way to survive is to fight here."

"Battle...and Britain?" Even the steady veteran members like Inoue and Minami were getting a little impatient.

Yu Cheng: "You want us to confront them head-on? While we're surrounded!"

Yoshida: "Moreover, the enemy is Cornelia's army, a large force that is completely different from the previous ones."

Lelouch: "Yes, if we win like this, it will be a miracle."

"ZERO, why are you still talking about this now?" Fan called out anxiously when she saw ZERO making casual jokes.

“Even the Messiah won’t be recognized if he can’t create miracles, so we need miracles too.” Lelouch continued his 'deception' technique.

"I'm telling you, miracles aren't items in a shop." Yu Cheng was nearly driven to the brink of collapse by Lelouch, glaring at him angrily. "You're definitely not fit to be our leader. I should be..." He took a rifle from his shoulder and pointed it at Zero, but Zero was faster, already pointing a pistol at Yu Cheng. The scene of the leader executing a traitor didn't happen. Zero twirled the pistol around his finger, pointing it at himself, and said to Yu Cheng and the others, "Our escape route is cut off. If you think you can win without me, anyone can shoot me." For a moment, everyone was stunned by Lelouch's words, unsure what to do, staring blankly at Lelouch pointing a pistol at them.

Seeing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, Lelouch, hidden behind the mask, knew he had 'conquered' them. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Since you've joined the Black Knights, there are only two paths to take: live with me, or die with me."

Chapter 334 The Battle of Naritasan (Part 2)

Inside the G-1 command ship, several officers from the General Staff pointed to the holographic map of the operation and said to Yuffie, "The enemy's main base should be in this mountain. We haven't found out the exact location yet, but in order to obtain the list of personnel to assist us, we can't just destroy the main base with an air strike."

"The enemy will likely attempt to break through one corner of our encirclement, taking the opportunity to deduce their exact location."

“Our main frontal forces consist of three generals: General Dalton, General Alex, and then the troops personally led by Governor Cornelia. As for the flanking forces…” As he was speaking, the hologram suddenly started shaking and the signal became erratic.

"It's the enemy's ECM (electronic jamming system)."

Meanwhile, Dalton's troops had already made contact with the enemy. Dalton discovered that communications were being jammed by ECM and hurriedly said through external sensors, "The enemy forces should be here soon. Deploy ECCM (Electronic Countermeasures System), switch the channel to Alpha-4, the enemy's... what's it called again?"

“You mean ‘BURAI’?” a sergeant interjected.

“But we need to be especially careful with the ‘Glasgow’ emulator,” Dalton said with a nod, his tone full of disdain, because Glasgow was an obsolete product. In modern Britain, apart from the police still using these obsolete fourth-generation Knightmare, the army had already widely adopted the fifth-generation ‘Sunderland’.

"Yes, my load."

Cornelia's forces, spearheaded by her personal guard and Summit's 'Fallen Angel,' formed a wedge formation and broke through the first three lines of defense of the Japanese Liberation Front. Just as Cornelia was getting bored, the Knightmare unit of the Japanese Liberation Front, 'Rogue,' slowly rose from the ground and appeared before everyone.

Seeing the rogue appear before everyone in this form, Cornelia couldn't help but laugh and say, "Have you turned this mountain into a fortress?"

As Cornelia's knight, upon spotting the enemy, he immediately said, "Your Highness, please retreat."

"Guilford, don't lump me in with those ordinary women." With that, he slammed on the gas, and his purple personal 'Gloucester' suddenly accelerated, overtaking the 'Fallen Angel' in front and dashing into the opposing group.

"Your Highness Cornelia!" Guilford called out immediately, sounding worried.

Through the sensors, the 'rogue' pilots had already recognized the purple 'Gloucester' as Cornelia's private jet. Cornelia's reputation as the "British Witch" was already widespread, and facing an opponent of this caliber, the pilots immediately exclaimed in surprise, "No way!"

“Cornelia…”

"Don't be afraid, the general's head!" the captain hurriedly encouraged his subordinates, then pressed the switch in his hand, unleashing a hail of bullets at Cornelia.

“These undead…” Cornelia couldn’t help but shout as she looked at the 'rogues' attacking her. At the same time, she piloted the Gloucester and swept her spear across the front row of 'rogues', knocking them down. She then nimbly turned her aircraft around and thrust forward. In a flash, Cornelia pierced the cockpit of the captain’s aircraft with the spear. Then she spun around and swung the spear. The huge centrifugal force flung the rogue with the spear tip into the fallen rogues, causing an explosion.

"There's no other way, we'll switch to cover." Guilford said helplessly as he watched Cornelia eliminate the few 'rogues' that had just appeared so quickly, while simultaneously controlling the slashing scythe to destroy a mobile turret that was firing continuously.

"A beautiful attack, Princess Cornelia!" Samit couldn't help but praise.

"Heh... Cornelia is here, is there no one to challenge her?" Cornelia, who hadn't had a proper battle in a long time, couldn't help but shout using her external sensors.

"No, the second attack was ineffective." The radar operator reported anxiously as he watched the number of friendly forces on the screen dwindle.

"What terrifying pressure this is!" Major General Katase exclaimed as he looked at the screen.

Thus, the Knightmare units on the Japanese Liberation Front were mostly destroyed without playing any role other than slightly hindering the British forces' advance. The Knightmare units in Cornelia's direction were completely destroyed without even achieving the goal of hindering the British forces.

At this time, Dalton and his troops also discovered the headquarters of the Japanese Liberation Front, a massive underground fortification disguised as the Summer Palace. The defenses here were more robust than elsewhere, with Knightmare troops providing support in addition to standard defensive weapons.

"General Dalton, based on the analysis of the enemy's operational objectives, it is predicted that the entrance to the Japanese Liberation Front's headquarters should be that villa," a sergeant in charge of liaison said through the communicator. The latest intelligence from the G-1 command ship at the rear indicated that Dalton was very lucky.

“Shouldn’t we say Bingo now?” Dalton said with a smug smile, a rare moment of joking as he looked at the image of the mountain village less than a kilometer away on the screen.

"But is it correct...?"

"Just agree with me, you honest man." Dalton was usually a serious person, but he didn't expect that his subordinate wouldn't cooperate with him when he made a joke. He couldn't help but laugh and say.
