Chapter 696: Gilbert Can’t Do It (for Raffaello

Chapter 696: Gilbert can't do it (extra chapter for Raffaello!)

After leaving Cornelia's office, Yang Hui brought Regni Regetta to the hangar to choose his new machine. The previous Glasgow used exclusively by the Knights was torn apart by Yang Hui. Although Regni Regetta's machine was relatively intact, the report of the maintenance team said that it would either be recycled as scrap metal or used as an exhibit.

However... after taking a glance at all the machines in the hangar, Yang Hui shook his head. They were all garbage and there was not much difference. So he randomly picked two machines and told the maintenance team a few words: "Follow the method I taught you to strengthen the skeleton a little, remove the excess outer armor, and prepare some explosive grenades."

To be honest, in Yang Hui's opinion, the armor of Glasgow is better than nothing. In addition to reducing the mobility of the machine, it has no effect. It can't even block a few shots from the tank gun, and can only block the machine gun bullets of the infantry.

"Yes, your highness."

"By the way, have you finished the little thing I asked you to make last time?" Yang Hui asked the R&D department next to him.

"The modification of the knight's gun has been successful. Four 80mm machine guns have been added, but the ammunition capacity can only hold 50 rounds each, which is too little. There is no problem with the detachable shell and the built-in alloy saber."

"It doesn't matter. It just adds a little means of long-range attack. It can also be used as a hidden killer. What else?"

"The arm armor with a retractable blade is also completed. Several units have been produced, but..."

"Just what?"

"The knights think this weapon is too insidious and violates the honor of the knights, so..."

"Hehe, forget it, give it to me and Regeta. Install the body, and... "

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Think divergently. The external equipment of the arm, in addition to the retractable blade, can't it be a machine gun component? Rocket launcher component?"

"This! We know how to do it, Your Highness Yang Hui."

"Are there no others?"

"Only two have been completed for the time being, and the others are still in the process of development." The researchers were ashamed. They were embarrassed. A prince who was rumored to be mediocre not only had strong combat capabilities, but also had better design and research and development capabilities for weapons and equipment than them. This made them, as Cornelia's exclusive researchers, feel ashamed.

"Okay, I know, you keep working hard." Yang Hui was helpless. He only proposed a very simple weapon modification or external component, but he didn't expect Cornelia's men to be unable to keep up with his speed, and even lacked the ability to think divergently.

This also made Yang Hui more determined to poach people from Schneizel's men. The two most outstanding scientists in the world, one must be under Schneizel's command now, as for the other... I don't know if he has left.

"Regeta, tell the people below to help me find the whereabouts of these people, Lakshata Chara, Gino Beineruk, Ania Alstroem, Monica Kulusevsky, Jeremiah Godbald, Vretta Nu, Orpheus Zevon, Audrin Zevon, and Joan Luo."

"Understood. After finding the whereabouts of the target, can we capture them directly?" Regnie Regeta asked. He knew that Yang Hui was planning to form his own team.

"Please come to my private residence outside the palace. We will return to the imperial capital in a month at the latest."

"Understood."

"Your Highness Yang Hui." At this time, as Yang Hui expected, Gilbert came, but... he came a little too fast.

"You are here so early?"

"Yes, Your Highness Yang Hui, Her Highness Cornelia ordered me to serve you before the start of the [Iskander Operation]." Gilbert bowed respectfully. Yang Hui's strength had won his respect.

"I understand. You should stay with me for the next two days."

"Yes, your highness."

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Gilbert noticed that the maintenance team dismantled the armor of the two Glasgows used by the Knights, processed the skeletons, and transported the arm armor and different knight guns that he had never seen before, and asked questions.

"It's obvious to modify the body." Yang Hui explained to Gilbert, "Glasgow's armor can't even withstand a few tank guns. It's better to dismantle it to improve mobility and strengthen the strength of the skeleton, so that the body won't fall apart again this time. Then I asked the scientific research department to make two small gadgets."

"Uh... is it... is it?" Gilbert's mouth twitched. If others said this, Gilbert would sneer, but Yang Hui... when he heard the maintenance team say that Yang Hui's body was over-limit operation and disintegrated by itself, his jaw was directly dislocated.

"Your Highness, what is the gadget?" Gilbert asked, and Cornelia told him that coming to Yang Hui's side is to learn, and even a little bit of life cannot be missed.

"One is a modified knight's gun, with four machine guns added, which increases the long-range attack capability. The shell and the machine gun can be disassembled and separated, and an alloy saber is hidden inside to solve the embarrassing problem of the knight's gun being too long to defend against close enemies behind; the other is an external arm armor with a retractable blade inside. If there is enough time, I would also like to add a machine gun."

"Your Highness, did you design this?" Gilbert was dumbfounded and asked stupidly.

"Yes." Yang Hui nodded as a matter of course.

"Your Highness... Is there anything you don't know?" Gilbert asked carefully.

"Quite a lot."

"For example?"

"I can't have children."

"..."

Your Highness Cornelia, please forgive the incompetent Gilbert for not being able to meet your expectations. I really can't complete this hell-level task from Your Highness Yang Hui!

"But Your Highness, the retractable blade...isn't it too despicable?" Gilbert asked. As a knight, he should be upright, even on the battlefield. This kind of weapon suitable for sneak attacks does not conform to the knight's code.

"Hahaha." Yang Hui couldn't help but hold his stomach and laughed.

"Your Highness, what are you laughing at?" Gilbert's face was a little ugly. He heard contempt and ridicule from his laughter.

"Laughing at your innocence is so cute."

"Ah?"

"This is a war, not a duel, Gilbert. Isn't it naive to talk mean to your enemy on the battlefield?"

"Your Highness Yang Hui, I am a glorious Bunitalian knight!"

"So? Bring your glory with you?"

"..."

"My sister asked you to learn from me, right?"

"...Yes, Your Highness."

"Then the first lesson is, on the battlefield, let glory go to hell! There are only two results between you and the enemy, either you die or I die, do you want to die?"

"...No."

"Then do everything you can to survive, Gilbert."

"...Yes, your highness."

Gilbert answered insincerely. He had a firm belief in chivalry and disdained to use mean means, but due to Cornelia's order, he could only agree on the surface.

Yang Hui smiled lightly, and he didn't care that Gilbert didn't mean what he said. He admired people who could carry out their original intentions to the end. In the original plot, Lelouch played ZERO in a duel with him, but was tricked by Lelouch. He could carry out his knightly loyalty to the end until he returned for revenge after being seriously injured.

But it was just admiration. People like this usually die the fastest on the battlefield. The reason why they can stay alive is probably because Cornelia's ability and luck are better.

It's okay to stick to the chivalry, but it's not flexible at all. To put it nicely, it's too rigid and easy to break, to put it bluntly, it's a square head and a stubborn mind!

Yang Hui said what he should say, and whether Gilbert listened to it or not was his own business.

For the next three days, Yang Hui and Regina Regeta worked with the maintenance team to debug their own machines, and they trained casually to pass the time in their free time.

However, Gilbert didn't think so, because Yang Hui and Regeni Regeta's physical fitness was not comparable to that of ordinary people, so their casual training was definitely hellish training for ordinary people.

"I say, you are too bad, right? This is just basic training." Looking at Gilbert who was lying on the ground, like he was fished out of the water, Yang Hui couldn't hide his disgust.

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness Yang Hui... Please... Please allow me... to rest for five minutes... I will definitely... complete today's training..."

"... OK, go back and take a shower and have a good rest. I'm leaving tomorrow. You should also go to the northeast air defense position with the Knights, right? Don't affect tomorrow's operations." Yang Hui patted Gilbert on the shoulder and said.

"No... Don't worry... Your Highness Yang Hui... I... I can..."

"No, you can't." Looking at Gilbert who had broken through countless limits and even had difficulty moving his fingers, Yang Hui rolled his eyes. If you continue to practice, you won't even be able to get out of bed tomorrow, let alone participate in the battle.

"But..."

"This is an order!"

"Yes...Yes, your highness!"

...

The next day, Yang Hui and Regni Rejeta set off to the northwest, still two modified Glasgows, leaving the base facing the rising sun. Compared with the Knights on the other side, they were lonely and thin.

"Mr. Yang Hui, the people below sent a message." Regni Rejeta reported to Yang Hui after ensuring that the communication channel would not be monitored.

"What's the situation?"

"We've found them all. Lakshata Chara was a former member of the Imperial Royal Research Institute. He planned to leave the Bnitaliya Empire because of a conflict with his colleagues.

Gino Bainnberuk is a branch of the famous Bainnberuk family and is not valued by the family.

Ania Alstolem, formerly known as Ania Mobe, is an apprentice maid in Marianna's bedroom. It has been confirmed that she was at the scene when Marianna was assassinated and was an eyewitness. She survived by chance, but her personality changed drastically. She became taciturn and... showed an amazing talent for Knightmare driving. She is now adopted by the Alstolem family and undergoing military training.

Monnie Ka Kulusevski is the emperor's illegitimate daughter, now living in the imperial capital, no one cares about her and no one takes care of her.

Jeremiah Godbald is the head of the Godbald family, a former squire knight of Marianna, and a member of the pure-blood faction.

Vretta Nu and Joan Luo are both top students of the Imperial Military Academy, the former a member of the pure-blood faction, and the latter has no factional inclination.

Orpheus Zevon, Audrin Zevon, and Joan Luo are a pair of siblings, born in the famous Zevon family of the empire, but because the Zevon family is a matrilineal family, Orpheus Zevon was abandoned in a poor civilian family, and Audrin Zevon is the first heir to the Zevon family. "

"All done?"

"Yes, we have invited them all to your mansion, waiting for your return."

"That's fine, just don't leave and meet all their requests."

"Understand, but..."

"But what?"

"The civilians who adopted Orpheus Zevon sold him for a few silver coins. When our people took Orpheus Zevon away, they encountered a mysterious force and almost had a conflict."

"Mysterious force?"

"Yes, it should be a religious force, but before the conflict, the other party gave in and left. If nothing unexpected happens... it should be the GEASS Cult."

"...Have you found the whereabouts of the witch?"

"Not yet."

"Keep looking, you must find her."

"Understand."
