At this mont on the television screen, a thin middle-aged man in a suit stood at the center of the podium, with a dense mass of chas behind him. He stood there, raising both his hands high.
"We hereby declare the independence of the rightful nation of Japan! I will rescue all our oppressed and suffering compatriots from the hands of the Britannian Empire! This land, past, present, and future, belongs to us, my compatriots! Join in driving out the hateful invaders from this land!"
Betrayed!
Watching that ugly face on the screen, Cornelia clenched her fists tightly.
"What did the Chinese Federation say?"
"General Cao of the Chinese Federation stated that this is rely humanitarian support."
"Hmph!"
Hearing Clovis’s response, Cornelia snorted coldly.
"They really don’t take us seriously, but that’s fine... Let them see the power of the Britannian Empire! Order all defense troops in Area 11 to mobilize imdiately, and..."
At this point, Cornelia seed to think of sothing.
"...Let the Chinese Federation see, we are no longer the empire we once were!"
The flas of war are spreading.
The fire that was ignited in Fukuoka is now spreading across the entire Kyushu.
"Your Highness, so far, everything is going very smoothly."
"Mm."
Glancing at Zeqidun beside him, Fang Zheng nodded, then turned his head to look at the storm and dark clouds outside the window.
"The weather today is quite nice."
"That’s right, even the heavens are on our side."
Saying this, Zeqidun revealed a smug smile.
"We are certain to win this war!"
"Report!"
Just at this mont, a report ca from the front.
"Radar has detected an unidentified flying warship!"
"A Britannian warship?"
Hearing the report, General Cao, standing beside Fang Zheng, let out a cold chuckle.
"They’ve finally learned to fly, huh. Deploy missiles and destroy it!"
"Yes!"
Soon, following the issuance of the order, everyone saw dozens of red arrows, representing missiles, flying towards the enemy warship, striking the target successfully. However...
"The target is intact, not destroyed! Sothing resembling a bomber has ejected from it, but it’s much faster than a bomber!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Zeqidun couldn’t help but be surprised and hurriedly gave an order.
"Connect the video imdiately!"
"Yes!"
As the target was locked, the next mont the screen opened, and then a white cha flying in the air appeared in everyone’s eyes. Seeing this scene, General Cao’s face couldn’t help but darken slightly.
"They actually made a flying cha using Sakuradite?"
Saying this, General Cao quickly turned to Fang Zheng.
"Your Highness!"
"I know."
Looking at the white cha on the screen before him, Fang Zheng appeared very calm. The Chinese Federation and the EU had always underestimated Britannia because their sakuradite-powered devices lacked output, which is why Britannia could not manufacture flying chas and cosmic chas. But now it seems Britannia finally overca this obstacle, and the white cha before them was the best proof.
Faced with the fast-approaching white cha, there was basically nothing that could be done, because all the "occupation army" weapons were donated out of "humanitarian support" by the Chinese Federation. The VF series was nearly complete and ready for mass production, so these replaced chas were given to Zeqidun for "recycling," but these chas were only capable of basic ground combat and had no air or cosmic combat capabilities.
Moreover, the current weather was unsuitable for jets to take off and land, and ordinary ard helicopters were virtually useless against the Nightmare cha. As a result, the white cha advanced vigorously, reaching the front of the Fukuoka Base without taking much ti.
"It seems Britannia’s latest cha does have so capabilities."
Although after entering the Fukuoka Base it landed because of concerns about anti-aircraft fire, it still charged straight towards the base. anwhile, various MS tried to step in to stop it but were imdiately taken down by the white cha.
"Surround it! Exhaust its energy!"
At this point, General Cao also began to command loudly.
"Don’t let it reach the command center! The energy of Sakuradite is limited; once its power is exhausted, it will be nothing but scrap tal!"
However, upon hearing General Cao’s command, Fang Zheng just shook his head slightly.
"That’s what they say, but letting a single cha invade the base is quite disgraceful."
After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around.
"I’ll take care of it."
At this mont in the base, the battle continues.
"Huh... is it trying to distract ?"
Sitting in the cockpit of the white cha, Suzaku Kurumaki tightly grasped the joystick, staring intently around him. His task was to capture or kill Zeqidun, and as soon as Zeqidun died, this army would be without a leader, giving the Chinese Federation no reason to intervene further!
But very quickly, Suzaku realized that sothing was wrong.
The attacks stopped? What’s going on?
Although he didn’t know why the MS units that had been following him suddenly dispersed, Suzaku seized the opportunity, quickly maneuvering the white cha towards the base’s main gate. However, just as Suzaku reached the base’s entrance, intending to infiltrate, he suddenly spotted a puzzling scene.
In front of the tightly closed gate stood a person wearing a helt, clad in silver armor with a crimson cape, holding one black and one white sword, long and short respectively, coldly staring at him without a word.
What’s going on? Does this person intend to confront the Lancelot with just flesh and blood?!
Thinking of this, Suzaku couldn’t help but frown.
However, at that mont, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Are you Suzaku Kurumaki? The son of the forr Pri Minister?"
"... Who are you?"
Hearing this voice, Suzaku was taken aback for a mont and asked.
"Who I am is not important. I’m just curious why, as the son of the forr Pri Minister of Japan, you choose to serve Britannia, the invader of your country?"
"Because..."
Hearing this question, Suzaku tightened his grip on the joystick.
"Because I no longer want war! I don’t want more people to die! aningless wars will only cause more deaths!"
"So you killed your own father and issued a surrender order?"
"What...!"
Hearing these words, Suzaku instantly felt as if a sharp blade had pierced his heart, leaving him almost unable to breathe.
"I’ve conducted investigations on you, Suzaku Kurumaki – an interesting man... So, you killed your father, who decided to resist to the end, because you didn’t want to see more sacrifices, and chose surrender for the sake of life? Is life more important than the country and the nation? Would you sacrifice the entire country to protect your people?"
"I had no choice!"
Hearing this, Suzaku roared in fury.
"I don’t want more sacrifices. If the war continues... only more innocent civilians will die!"
"Really? Then... look at their lives now. Do you still think what you did was right?"
"... Huh?"
"Unlike soone like you who sells out his country for glory, those ordinary civilians are now living in concentration camps, beaten, insulted, and even murdered by occupiers. They have lost their dignity, honor, everything, rely living and dying like slaves. Is this what you hoped for? Is this the peace you wanted?"
"No, I just wanted to change things the right way..."
"Country, country, without the country there is no ho. If you lose your country, then the people living on this land have no ho."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the greatsword.
"In the end, you’re just an executioner using peace as a guise to sell out your country for glory."
"Ahhhh!!!!"
Hearing this, Suzaku finally couldn’t control his roar, and with his outburst, the white cha suddenly exploded forward, charging at Fang Zheng.
"I am not wrong, not wrong, not——!"
However, before Suzaku could finish, Fang Zheng raised the greatsword and slashed it downwards with force. At this mont, driven by instinct, Suzaku instinctively maneuvered the cha swiftly to the side. Even so, he couldn’t completely avoid Fang Zheng’s strike. The invisible sword qi shot past, effortlessly slicing through the white cha’s left arm and shoulder at the sa ti, as hot flas erupted from the white cha.
"What? How is this possible?"
Staring in shock at the flashing alarms on the screen, Suzaku was astounded.
A person could defeat a cha relying solely on their own power?
However, his thoughts ended there.
Fang Zheng slashed down with his sword, then drew back, gripping the pitch black greatsword tightly and thrusting it forward with strength. Accompanying his movent, wind pressure began to circulate, condensing into a roaring storm that violently smashed into the white cha’s chest. In an instant, accompanied by roaring and booming sounds, the white cha was engulfed by the storm, thrown backwards, and heavily crashed to the ground.
Severe pain radiated from his abdon, and Suzaku opened his eyes, horrified to find the front of the cha completely dented in, with sharp iron spikes slicing into his abdon, tearing his body open, internal organs and intestines slowly spilling out along with the blood.
"Ugh... ah...!"
This indescribable agony caused Suzaku to scream out loud, and then he heard footsteps approaching, as the knight in armor appeared before him once again.
"Seppuku, huh? How fitting for your final mont. Well then, I’ll reluctantly serve as your kaishakunin."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the greatsword in his hand.
The sharp blade sliced through Suzaku’s skin, trachea, and cervical vertebrae, and with a spray of blood, the young man’s wide-eyed head rolled down from the wrecked cha, scattered among the dirt.
"In the end, this is all there is."
Gazing at the headless, twitching corpse, Fang Zheng snorted softly, then sheathed his greatsword and turned to leave.
"All forces advance... target, Tokyo Concession!"
