Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

The Black Knights received news from the Imperial Army that they were going to raid the Japanese Liberation Front in the Narita Mountains.

Lelouch was looking at the tactical board, looking eager for the upcoming battle with Cornelia.

"How boring." Yin Li watched the soldiers controlled by Lelouch's GEASS playing Go.

After watching for a while, he lost interest and sat back down next to Lelouch.

Lelouch turned around and saw CC in a white straitjacket standing abruptly under the gloomy clouds.

"Do you know her?"

Lelouch looked at Yin Li who suddenly spoke, "Who would understand such a mysterious woman?"

"I see. You didn't know that either. CC talks to herself all the time. Is she really that lively?"

Yin Li stood by the window and looked at CC outside. He reached out and touched the slightly cool glass window. It was snowing outside.

Lelouch couldn't help but feel suspicious, so he closed the map and stood up to go out and ask some questions.

But before he could go out, Yin Li suddenly took out his cell phone and started reading the messages on it.

"Hey, Lelouch, there are civilians near the Narita Mountains."

As he spoke, he replied to the message on his phone and asked several guards to find out the details.

"Civilians? I don't have time to worry about them." Lelouch simply tilted his head to glance at him. "Your intelligence network is truly formidable."

As he said that, he opened the door and wanted to go out.

"......" Yin Li raised his eyes and glanced at him. It was indeed an expected answer, but when he lowered his gaze to the phone, he found that the situation was a little unexpected.

"Lelouch, Shirley's father was among those civilians."

When Shirley was kidnapped at the Kawaguchiko Central Hotel, the father appeared on TV and earnestly asked the Japanese Liberation Front to return his daughter to him.

Yin Li's guards still remembered that face. Considering the relationship between Yin Li and the student union members, the captain of the guards chose to report the information, while secretly cursing ZERO in his heart for involving their beloved Majesty in danger.

"What?" Lelouch was also surprised to hear the news. His face turned grim and he paused in his attempt to open the door. "Where are those civilians?"

"In the town at the foot of the mountain, there's a team of geological technicians, and there are also many civilians. If your plan goes smoothly, that area will be completely destroyed."

The foot of the mountain? The Black Knights should have received orders to leave the foot of the mountain and head to the designated location.

Would they be able to return in time to rescue the civilians? Even if they could, it would increase the likelihood of exposing the Black Knights.

Let the civilians escape on their own?

Will they believe it?

Explain the details to them? No, his plan cannot be known to too many people.

Even if they escaped, they would be surrounded by the Britannian army, and Cornelia's subordinates would not care about the civilians who appeared around the battlefield.

Lelouch thought rapidly, trying to find a suitable way to rescue this group of civilians.

"What should we do? Should we change our tactics?" Yin Li asked, his fingers sliding across the phone screen, sending messages.

Lelouch couldn't think of a solution for a moment, and the only sounds left in the room were the two people from Area 11 playing chess.

CC, who was standing outside, had seen enough of the scenery and pushed the door open and walked in.

At this moment, Lelouch had no time to pay attention to her. He looked at the topographic map over and over again, thinking for a long time, and reluctantly decided to rescue the civilians first.

Finally, Yin Li stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and said, "Let the Britannian army rescue them."

Hearing his outrageous proposal, Lelouch cursed without hesitation, "Are you stupid? How can they save people?"

Whether Cornelia cares about the lives of these civilians is one thing, but if a message is really sent to the Britannian army, this action will undoubtedly arouse Cornelia's suspicion.

"What are you talking about? Not carrying out the plan?" CC tilted his head and asked in confusion.

Yin Li didn't have time to answer her now. "Euphemia also participated in this battle. She always sacrifices herself for civilians, right?"

Lelouch looked at Yin Li, but he didn't have the time to care about Yin Li's source of information. His brain started working to find a solution. "Cornelia would never let her beloved sister fall into danger, so the safest place is the medical unit."

Lelouch confidently pointed out the location of the rescue squad on the map.

He then attempted communications using Japanese Liberation Front equipment.

"I'm ZERO, and I want to speak directly to Euphemia."

The conversation between Lelouch and the Britannia side continued.

CC also understood the current situation and said sarcastically, "How boring! You're actually being kind at this time."

"Miss CC, is there anyone you care about?" Yin Li turned his gaze to her.

CC looked at the little emperor, "I advise you not to take an interest in me."

"Miss CC is really stubborn and won't give in to any persuasion."

Seeing that CC had no intention of chatting with him, Yin Li did not speak anymore and focused his attention on Lelouch.

"We have installed micro-bombs on those civilians. If you pass this information on to Cornelia, I will not be responsible for the consequences."

"Don't worry, I care about the lives of those civilians too. We now have the same goal. After all, we, the Black Knights, are allies of justice."

Lelouch then hung up the phone, sighing in relief, "It's solved."

"It was solved with the help of Euphemia." Yin Li supported her head and looked at him jokingly.

Lelouch rested his hands on the table, his expression dark and unclear, "This time it was just an accident."

Who would have thought that Shirley's father would happen to be conducting a geological survey here? Lelouch knew that he didn't care that much about the lives of civilians.

Lelouch knew that he couldn't anticipate every situation.

But once the situation gets out of control or he is controlled by emotions, he will inevitably fall into a rage.

Lelouch put on the helmet beside him. There was no time to process his emotions now. He would be the winner of this battle.

"This is war." Yin Li said as he looked out the window at the snow falling heavier and heavier.

He had seen too many wars, and even he couldn't save everyone.

There will be sacrifices in war, and this land is never picky when it comes to eating people.

Royals and the paupers are all just flesh and blood.

Will Lelouch be the special one?

CC looked at Yin Li. The little emperor of the Federation was obviously the same age as Lelouch, but he was much more mature in comparison.

Mariana has always recommended Lelouch to her, but in her opinion, Yin Li might be a more suitable candidate.

"Would you like to sign a contract with me?"

The immortal witch stretched out her hand to him.

Yin Li refused without hesitation, "No, Miss CC, I have no interest in signing a contract with anyone else."

CC withdrew his hand without looking disappointed.

But being too good is not good either. He is too rational and does not desire power.

He refused as Lelouch expected, and Lelouch watched the whole thing before walking out the door to carry out his plan.

Chapter 237 Lelouch 14

Can Lelouch really win by leading a motley crew?

He has neither great strength nor a firm will.

Yin Li was thinking about the situation of the Black Knights while sending text messages.

"Has anything been found in that geological laboratory?"

The captain of the guards watched his men read the data from the computer. "Data on the Sakura Stone experiment. This laboratory doesn't appear to belong to the military. An evacuation notice is being broadcast outside. We'll leave once we finish downloading the data. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Yin Li curled his lips and smiled after receiving the reply. He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise this time. He probably didn't need him to say more and was already reading the data.

"Well done. You should be careful too."

Now it all made sense.

If there's a gun hanging in the first act, it has to fire in the third act.

Charlie's father had to die here.

The Britannian army broadcast an evacuation notice before the battle. If nothing unexpected happened, they would not have left even if they heard the evacuation notice. There must have been some special reason.

The last piece of the puzzle had been found, and now everything made sense.

In order to avoid the military's search, experiments were secretly conducted on the Sakura Stone. The best choice was to be in an area under the shadow of the Japanese Liberation Front. If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.

Charlie's father is doing a very dangerous job.

Yin Li can intervene once, but what about the next time?

The federation is short of talent.

Yin Li smiled happily. CC asked curiously, "What did you do?"

"I advise you not to be interested in me." Yin Li stood up after saying this. It was time for him to make preparations.

Hearing these familiar words, CC was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he snorted coldly, "Oh, you really are a vindictive guy."

When Yin Li walked out of the door, the mountain torrent caused by the Black Knights happened to pour down from the side of the mountain, and dust flew everywhere.

He waved his hand to dispel the smoke and dust that invaded his nostrils and looked down at the mountain.

Then I saw a troop wandering alone outside the battlefield, with only a tractor truck?

CC saw Yin Li staring at the foot of the mountain, and following his gaze, he saw only the withered forest.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Yin Li put on the hood of his sweatshirt, covered his face with the Fox mask, and jumped onto the Knightmare beside him.

The wind brought by the Knightmare's movement lifted CC's long hair. She lifted her hair and watched Yin Li walk away.

The bulky Knightmare has slow reactions and is very slow, but it is a rare commodity for members who have just joined the Black Knights. Lelouch evenly allocated one to Yin Li.

This [Wanderer] was very different from the Knightmare that Yin Li had operated before. It was a bit difficult to get started at first, but after moving a few steps, he gradually became familiar with it.

Lelouch cornered Cornelia as planned, and saw a white Knightmare rapidly approaching the battlefield.
