Chapter 778 Future Possibilities
"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 order soldiers would only convey Yang Hui's orders. They were considered to be Yang Hui's direct department. And judging from the way he was running out of breath, it should be a very urgent matter.
“Your Highness’s emergency summons.”
"Emergency summons?" Lelouch was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "I know, I'll set off right away."
The ordering soldier saluted and hurried away. It seemed that he There are other people who need to communicate the emergency call-out.
"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.
"Yes, I will do it, so do your best."
Lelouch nodded, turned and left the camp of the trainee knights. Soon after, Shumu Suzaku's rest time also ended. Return to the team for the next training session.
"The results of this year's promotion evaluation will be out soon. I hope I can pass..."
Just when Shumu Suzaku thought of this on his way back to the team, the instructor in charge of managing it found him.
"What? I... got promoted?" Shumu Suzaku looked confused.
"Yes, congratulations, Shumu Knight, you are now an official [Nightmare] knight." The instructor said to Shumu Suzaku with joy.
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, he also fought with most of the Bunitalia. Same thing, look down on numbers from everywhere.
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 good to better. Formal evaluation is required, so several of our instructors jointly submitted a report to apply for your early promotion."
"Thank you very much, instructor." Shumu Suzaku was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and thanked him excitedly. .
"Haha, you don't have to thank us, we do this for selfish reasons." The instructor smiled straightforwardly, "On the one hand, to replenish the [Nightmare] with excellent new blood, we will also get His Highness's Reward; on the other hand..."
As he spoke, the instructor lowered his voice, leaned close to Shumu Suzaku's ear and said to him, "...there are a lot of good talents in this class, and there are only a few places. Don't take them up with you and the other guys who have been directly promoted. Someone else’s quota is reserved.”
“Well…” Shumu Suzaku was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, “I…I understand, instructor.”
“Yes. , I'm a teachable boy." 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, don't wait until you arrive in the new unit. Embarrassing 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 Bunitalia’s secret order, everyone had different expressions.
Reggie Reggieta and Todo Kaishiro looked very calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with them; although Jeremiah, Veretta, and Joan Luo remained calm, they Excitement and excitement flashed faintly in her eyes; Ania continued to remain 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.
"Tch, after all this time, that old guy finally remembered to give you rewards?" Lelouch was talking about not only the suppression of the resistance organization, but also how much credit can be gained by simply 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 other aspects. The training system formulated by Yang Hui has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of Bunitalia's entire army. The scientific research department of the [Nightmare] Knights has accelerated the Empire's Knightmare With iterative updates and various civilian technologies, Bunitalia's technological level now exceeds that of the world for at least fifty years.
These are all the achievements of the [Nightmare] Knights. Even if they are not worthy of mention, 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] is Yang Hui himself. The one who leads people to fight them down, 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 be all Leave it to Yang Hui, you shouldn't be excited about the reward from Charles DI Bunitalia.
"We are now able to be self-sufficient. The rewards from his old man are not that important, but if there are any, just accept them. Who would dislike it?"
This sentence , which 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. There must be something else. Figure.”
"It is 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 reject the emperor no matter what." Everyone present was stunned. After a moment, everyone except Lelouch and Reggie Reggie kneeled down 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 Knights of the Round Table, they are no longer [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 will not ask for help. The Knights of the Round Table were not chosen by him personally, and he will not take back the rewards given out. He will not slap himself in the face. "Yang Hui said to the nervous people, calming 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, there will definitely be active Knights of the Round Table looking for you. If you don’t want to, just refuse.”
“Yes, your highness.” X10
Jeremy heard this. The Ya and others breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike Regeni Rejeta and Todo Kyoshiro, while they were loyal to Yang Hui, they were also loyal to the Bunitalia Empire. However, Regeni Rejeta and Todo Kyōshiro were loyal to Yang Hui. Zhilang's allegiance is 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 within ten years, and the [Nightmare] Knights, as the empire’s sharpest It is no longer appropriate for the blade to remain in the scabbard."
Everyone who heard this lowered their heads and thought, and then nodded. When Yang Hui established his own [Nightmare] Knights, that was it. Using "the sharpest sword of the empire" as the reason, [ELEVEN] is now stable, but there are still 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 and then bent one, "There are Cornelia and the [Rose Witch] Knight in the Middle East. The regiment, it’s just the icing on the cake; so it’s more likely to go to EU.”
“EU? If I remember correctly, the one who is currently fighting in EU is Archduke Augusta Henry Hyland. , the four major knights under his command are also famous for their bravery and proficiency in fighting." Monica recalled the information she knew. 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 deal 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 united together , accumulated a lot of experience, and developed a new generation of Knightmare [Alexander] belonging to the EU under the leadership of the genius girl Anna Guleiman. At the same time, under the leadership of the genius girl Lena von Bregao in commanding operations, the originally fragmented battle line was It was re-established, and following the model of elite knights such as the [Nightmare] Knights, 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.
