Segmented retreat combat.

The main combat power is divided into two parts. Knightmare can move and has good maneuverability and is responsible for covering the retreat. The injured and some Knightmares who need to be transported away through armored vehicles will leave first. No matter who they are, they will be assigned a task.

Through the connection communication, Lelouch gave instructions, while sending a scout to send out a sergeant, he was asking someone to follow Natsume behind him.

He did not tell others what Natsume did to him, so at that time the other party obviously blocked the sight of the Black Knights and the people on the Japanese Liberation Front. Even if it was proposed now, it would only make things more troublesome.

After retreating, Lelouch had decided to use GEASS to deal with this man who claimed to be Arthur.

Here is the rear, Natsume raised the light weapon he had just sent to him, slowly retreating and observing the surroundings.

The sound of shelling in the distance became weaker and weaker. The dragged Bunitania was in the battle. Of course, they could pursue a dispersed pursuit. However, Cornelia knew very well that dispersing would greatly reduce the battle, and instead create favorable conditions for the Black Knights, she began to focus on breakthroughs and suppress the left-behind cover corps.

Natsume slowly moved with the team, and the unspoken Hinata's hope-to-be drove a truck to go parallel with Natsume.

"Yo!"

"Why are you here? Are you not going to fight?"

"Why? Actually, my real identity is the Minister of Logistics."

The prospective person stretched out his right hand from the driver's seat

"And my black Knightmare is not suitable for this kind of melee, just use it to protect resources and stolen cherry stones."

It's really casual.

Natsume swallowed this sentence into her stomach.

From here, you can see that the rogue driving Lelouch is with another Knightmare, which is Fujido Minoriro's Knightmare.

The four holy swords remained behind together. They and the second style of Honglian served as the main combat power of the cover force, and the road to this place was not very wide, which is why Lelouch chose this place.

But.

Natsume moved to the nearby hill, and at this time, a question of the verdict came.

"What are you doing! Be low-key!"

"I understand, just..."

In front is a street less than 100 meters away from Ashford College. Although the chance is not high, if a fight occurs there, the college will be affected.

By the way, Natsume moved towards Lelouch. Natsume planned to ask Lelouch to change its course. After all, there is more than one road leaving this area. Besides, there may be a safer road.

Slide down the hill, and then Natsume suddenly accelerates!

"Do not!"

Without any room for thinking, he suddenly stepped on the second-order pedal, enduring the sudden acceleration of movement, and knocked the rogue body located in front of the right to the ground.

It's light.

No, it is a large caliber energy cannon.

The beam of light hitting the air, erasing particles, and making a roar like a beast shot straight from behind.

A gully was cut out from the concrete ground, all the buildings on the road were shot through, muds and stones dissolved due to high temperatures, and the energy beams of the teeth and claws destroyed the brief calm.

Roaring, destroying, sweeping across the entire battlefield with an unrivaled momentum.

Everything on its tracks disappeared, the quasi-human vehicle was completely penetrated, explosions came one after another, firelights swayed, and fireworks soared.

Almost half of the vehicles were destroyed, four Knightmares were incapable of moving, with relatively small casualties, and their movement speed and retreat time were dragged down.

He raised his head and from the concrete forest behind him, headed by five units, about eight units of Knightmare retreated here against the broken body.

The Four Saint Swords and the Red Lotus Styles are fine.

However, the Bubu right hand, right calf and Honglian 2 type were destroyed and eaten by the left half of the cab, and could only move with the help of other Knightmares.

It is the damage caused by that beam.

"Sakurashi Energy's high-density loading gun, Odin's gun-MAX."

"What is that? Is there this weapon?"

Facing the qualifier who suddenly linked to him, Natsume expressed his doubts while being surprised by his safety.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Arthur, you have two more choices."

"kindness?"

"Escape and run away."

“…………”

Escape?

Indeed, I don’t know much about the weapon I’ve never heard of, but if I escape here, the false ‘hero’ name he created may disappear.

I had previously received a position given to me by the candidate and served as the captain of the front-line team. In this way, I should be able to mobilize some people.

"This is Arthur, please answer a team of players!"

"It's all destroyed."

The prospective person pointed at the rear

"The shelling just now killed half of the members."

"What a joke."

Arise from the rogue, Natsume and Lelouch were only one meter away from the gully caused by the attack just now. If he took a step further, he and Lelouch would turn into stars in the sky.

"It's totally impossible!"

It is the wailing cry of the members on the front line.

"The attack just now destroyed the so-called temporary materials, and the energy cannot be filled!"

"The pursuit troops are here too! Discover the witch and his personal guards!"

"More than half of the communication facilities were lost, and the reconnaissance forces lost contact!"

"The casualties caused by the explosion are being counted, and most of the affected people cannot move! At the same time, the twelve people have been infected! Drug treatment is needed!"

"Spread apart quickly! You can't follow the troops!"

【Silence me!】

Compared to everyone's voices and courage, Lelouch began to command the team.

[The logistics forces moved the wounded to a mobile vehicle, try to gather together as much as possible, and the medicines were also concentrated and handed over to the person in charge. The combat troops reported the situation and abandoned the inactive Knightmare. The intact Knightmare was responsible for being in a team of trucks, providing assistance while protecting. Then they fired the signal flares, even if they were seen, it would be fine. Anyway, they had been exposed. Notify the foreign scouts in the form of signal flares, let them fire the signal flares everywhere, disturb the enemy, and then took S-shaped movement to prevent controllable mines on the ground. Now there are some left, and then head to Ashford Academy!]

Unlike Natsume's idea, it went against Euphemia's wish, and they planned to go to the academy again.

"yes!"

After hearing such an answer, everyone agreed with Lelouch's arrangement.

“ZERO!”

Natsume speaks.

"There may be ambushing inside the academy, and after occupying it, it will become an isolated island and be surrounded. Besides, if the students have taken refuge in groups, we will become turtles in the jar without hostages again. I think the best way is to continue to follow the previous route and return to the base."

"The enemy's pursuit troops move faster than us, and will immediately close the distance. At the same time, there are large armed forces who don't know. They will be sniped again when they move along the previous route. You can't even imagine this? Do you let the enemy stop the attack?"

“…”

Facing Lelouch's words, Natsume was silent for a while.

Indeed, if you continue to move forward, you will be attacked again. If Natsume had not discovered the speed of the light beam just now, even if he accelerated with all his might, he would not have been able to completely avoid it.

That weapon is very powerful and powerful, this is a fact.

If that is the case, Natsume spoke for Euphemia's wishes and her own unconventional pleasure.

"I, let him stop."

Because communications are currently connected to the entire domain, Natsume's words made everyone stop moving in an instant.

Cornelia's troops Knightmare have at least 100, and there are also those weapons. In addition, the Third Knight Gino and his personal guards, there is no difference between going alone and seeking death.

However, Natsume added again

"I will definitely let him stop, you just need to evacuate with all your might."

"Is that true? The price of belief is wiped out."

"Then believe it, I think it's impossible to wipe out the entire army."

"It's simply entrusting everyone's lives to you, an outsider..."

"Isn't it better to believe it once?"

With a playful smile, the person was sure to speak.

Some people shouted at him.

They regard Arthur as a hero, and there is only one thing that heroes need to do, that is, create miracles.

Listening to the soldiers on the front line, Lelouch suddenly nodded in agreement.
