Immortal Soul of Steel

In the conference room, someone was laughing happily.

Outside the conference room, some people couldn't laugh at all.

In the dedicated office of Governor's Palace Clovis.

Clovis looked at ZERO, Lelouch, on the screen, and his mood was quite complicated.

On TV, ZERO is standing in front of the camera.

"Bretonians."

"No need to panic."

"We have wiped out all the dimensional beasts that fell from the sky."

"They are no longer a threat to your safety."

As ZERO's words rang out on the screen, the camera began to stretch.

The screen kept zooming, and the people in front of the screen saw ZERO standing on the palm of a mobile weapon.

The camera zoomed in again, showing a gray-white Gundam and a red Gundam standing together.

At the same time, the screen turned and began to play the scene of the Zero Gundam and the Red Lotus Gundam fighting against the Dimensional Beast together, and continuously shooting down the Dimensional Beast.

As soon as these pictures were spread, they immediately reminded people of the dimensional beast alarm that appeared before. A scene of the battle with two Gundams posted on various Internet platforms.

Some people who have no eyesight will just think that these two new machines are very powerful in combat, can fly, and look very handsome.

Some discerning people directly recognized these two machines as Gundams.

But without exception, many people do not know the origins of these people.

Among them, the TV station staff member who was in charge of live TV broadcasts in the Governor's Mansion and who secretly complained about Clovis was Ditohart Little.

Ditohart watched the hijacked television signal, turning a blind eye to the commotion of his colleagues around him. He just looked at ZERO who reappeared in the TV camera with his eyes shining brightly.

On the TV, the camera returned to ZERO again, and at the same time, a dozen blue Knightmare began to appear behind it.

Without exception, on the palms of these mobile weapons stood people wearing black uniforms with masks on their faces.

Under the gaze of countless people, ZERO tasted delicious.

"Fear us, O people, and follow us."

"Our name is...the Black Knights!"

Ditohart looked at ZERO on the screen and whispered: "Black Knights?"

At the same time, Shumu Suzaku, who returned to the hangar, also watched the live broadcast with Lloyd and Cecil.

Cecil: "Black Knights?"

Lloyd put his hands in his pockets and complained: "How ironic. He is obviously a thief who steals things, but he calls himself a knight."

Shumu Suzaku looked at the screen with doubts in his eyes: "Black...Knights?"

On the screen, ZERO's speech continued.

"We, the Black Knights, are the companions of the defenseless."

"Both the residents of District 11 and the Brittanians. "

"As long as someone wants to harm these people, it doesn't matter if it is the public enemy of mankind, the "Dimensional Beast". "

"It's better to take back New Neon and harm the "New Neon Liberation Front" that harms innocent people. "

"Or maybe it's some of the "Breton Army" that kills unarmed civilians. "

"I will not tolerate any brutal act that seeks to kill these defenseless innocent people."

"I will not deny the war, and I have no intention of getting involved in the matter between "Britannia" and the past "New Neon". "

"However, I will never allow the strong to torture and kill the weak."

"The only person who can shoot is the one who is ready to be killed by the gun."

"When the strong bully the weak, we will be there again."

"No matter how powerful that enemy is."

Behind ZERO, Kallen on the Red Lotus Gundam stared at ZERO's back and whispered secretly: "Justice... partner?"

In front of the camera, the palms of Gundam Zero are slightly raised.

ZERO waved his cape, stood on the chest of Zero Gundam, raised one hand, and looked at the camera.

"Fear us, you who have power."

After saying that, ZERO waved his cloak again and raised his other hand.

"You people who have no power, follow us."

"The world... will be punished by us, the Black Knights!"

Beep.

The TV was turned off.

Clovis crossed his arms and sat at his desk.

"In this way, Lelouch will probably not disclose the matter about the witch to the imperial sister."

"I've already given him the benefits, and the witch seems to be very cooperative, so I should be fine, right?"

Clovis's subordinate, General Bartlett, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Clovis thought for a moment and turned to look at General Bartlett.

"What happened to the things I asked you to study before?"

"Having held that witch for so long, is there any result there?"

In response, General Bartlett nodded repeatedly and returned: "Back to... Your Highness, yes, yes. However, the time for the witch to be caught was still too short."

"Although our research has made some progress, it may still take some time."

"But don't worry, what we lack now is only time, nothing else."

"So, please rest assured, as long as you give me some time, I will definitely produce results that satisfy you."

Clovis did not blame General Bartlett. He seemed to have great trust in this subordinate.

"There should still be time."

"According to what was said before, Lelouch will take the witch with him to unite the islands."

"When they get there, even if the imperial sister wants to find the witch, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

"In this way, time will be gained."

General Bartlet wiped his sweat and asked cautiously.

"Your Highness, is it really okay to let that witch leave with His Highness Lelouch?"

Clovis shook his head slightly: "It should be fine."

"The witch seems to like Lelouch very much. Judging from the relationship between them before, the witch will not harm Lelouch."

"Besides, Lelouch has been smart since he was a child, and he has lived well while living outside for so many years. He will definitely not be easily fooled by that witch."

It was obvious that General Bartlett did not want to ask this question.

But when he saw Clovis' unhappy expression, he couldn't say what he wanted to correct again.

At this moment, Clovis spoke again.

"Lelouch, let's leave it as it is for now."

"There has been some trouble recently. Let Lelouch handle it as ZERO to increase his reputation."

"Then when he has made enough trouble, let the imperial sister appear, attack his black knights, and send them away."

"Now, let's focus on other issues."

"General Bartlett, what happened to the people Mithril sent before?"

General Bartlett returned: "The people on Mithril's side should be received by Her Royal Highness Princess Cornelia now..."

…

While Clovis and General Bartlett were discussing.

At this time, Teresa, the person in charge of Mithril, had already arrived at the medical department of the Britannia military base with Lin Youde and others under the leadership of Cornelia.

Here, she saw the cyborg girl who was being surrounded by a group of medical staff and preventing these people from getting close.

"pity!"
