Chapter 773: The Sharp Blade that Breaks the Seal, the Faith that Is Regained

Yang Hui sat on [Athena]'s shoulder, admiring the messy battlefield. The billowing smoke and burning flames were the most beautiful scenery. Occasionally, a bright red outlined a different style. The faintly audible wailing and the endless explosions played an elegant concerto.

"It's great, this is the battlefield." Yang Hui sighed, lowering his eyes to look at the wreckage of the three special machines around [Athena]. One was beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground, one was smoothly cut in half from top to bottom, and the last one was lying on its stomach. A sharp sword pierced through the cockpit like a steel nail, fixing it on the ground.

"Your Highness, the intrusion troops report that the base has been completely suppressed." The commander of the regular troops came to [Athena] to report to Yang Hui. Because of excessive excitement and excitement, his body couldn't stop shaking, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were full of heat.

No matter how many times you watch Yang Hui's battle, it is always so thrilling and exciting. He seems to be suppressed, but in fact he is elegantly teasing the enemy. After having enough fun, he strikes accurately and fatally to harvest the enemy's life.

"Have you confirmed the list?" Yang Hui asked in a calm tone without even looking at the commander. He was also trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart to ensure that he would not be swallowed by the anger on the battlefield and become a crazy, warlike, and bloodthirsty monster.

"It is being confirmed, but the Divine Emperor Leye that you have emphasized has been confirmed."

"Well, keep an eye on them. No one on the list can have any problems. Send Divine Emperor Leye to the Governor's Mansion."

"Yes, your highness!"

Looking at the wreckage of the three GEASS Knightmares, Yang Hui murmured, "Thank you, I had a lot of fun."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Hui contacted the headquarters of the [Nightmare] Knights' garrison and asked about the situation of the entire battle: "What is the situation in other areas?"

"The battles in Areas A, B, and C have ended. The enemy forces have been completely wiped out. Our army suffered minor losses. The battle in Area D has not ended yet."

"What's going on? Why hasn't the battle in Area D ended yet?" Yang Hui frowned. Area D has the least troops, and Area D is also the area where the main forces of the Sakura Liberation Front are located, but Area D has the highest combat effectiveness and should be the fastest to end the battle.

After all, the D area is where the main force of the Nightmare Knights, the elite of the Rose Witch Knights and the Star Knights are concentrated. How long can the main force of the resistance organization last in front of the best troops in the world?

"According to the report, most of the residential areas in the D area are dilapidated slums, with complex environments. Knightmares cannot enter many places. The resistance organization is using the terrain to fight guerrilla warfare with our army, and..."

...

The sight shifted to the D area. In the complex ruins, the door of a shelter had been opened. The bodies of the soldiers of the Bunitarians were lying in a mess at the door. The door was surrounded by the Bunitarian army.

"Listen to the people inside! You have been surrounded! Give up resistance and strive for leniency!"

"Shut up!" Facing the sound of the horn outside, the resistance soldiers inside the shelter shouted angrily.

They were just ordinary land soldiers. They were dispersed by the sudden appearance of the Bunitalia army while suppressing the surrounding towns. They were desperate and accidentally found the entrance of a shelter. They were forced into a desperate situation and opened the door of the shelter from the outside. They rushed into the shelter and planned to get away with it.

But seeing that the Bunitalia army was chasing them, they were crazy and took the civilians in the shelter as hostages.

"Damn Bunitalia, they actually care about the casualties of civilians. They are so stupid!" Originally, this group of rebel soldiers had prepared to perish together. Even if they died, they would take the people around them to be buried with them. But when the Bunitalia army saw that they took hostages, they stayed outside and did not launch any attack. This made them very happy and extended the dead end for a distance.

"Isn't it? Haha, a bunch of idiots, with these civilians as hostages, we can make conditions and we will definitely get out alive."

"Yes! Haha, I will leave this damn island after I escape from here alive. I heard that the EU is not bad."

"The EU is in civil strife now. We may be able to fish in troubled waters and get something when we go there... Stupid kid! What are you looking at!?"

The fearless rebel soldier was interrupted by the angry eyes on the side. The fire of anger poured out all of a sudden, and he walked over with a gun.

"Aren't you members of the resistance organization? Shouldn't you fight with Bunitaria for the revival of the country!? Why are you kidnapping us? Aren't we compatriots!?" It was Shinichiro Tamashiro, who was already in a state of loss after learning part of the truth of the world from Asahina.

And now, when he saw that the resistance soldiers he had always respected did not have a glorious look, and did not fight bravely with the Bunitalia army, but pointed their guns at his unarmed compatriots, using them as bargaining chips for their lives, he could no longer control the anger in his chest, and the rising flames made the most severe questioning.

"It's none of my business!"

As a result, the last expectation was broken, and was ruthlessly shattered by the people he once admired and imitated. Tamashiro Shinichiro was angry and desperate, and asked loudly with a pale face: "What did you say!?"

"I said it's none of my business! You little brat! Country? Compatriots? What do those things have to do with me!? I only know that after the arrival of the Bunitarians, I can't make any money! Didn't I just lend a little money at high interest? Didn't I just capture a few women!? The damn Bunitarians could have made money and enjoyed together, but because of the damn decree issued by the damn prince! I lost everything! My money! My mansion! My luxury car! And women! Everything is gone!"

"You...you...you actually..." The pillar in Shinichiro Tamashiro's heart was completely broken. The resistance organization and the resistance army were really just like what Asahina told him, just a group of selfish bastards.

"Do you understand? Idiot brat!" As soon as the voice fell, the resistance soldier was ready to give Shinichiro Tamashiro a rifle butt to vent his complaints and anger.

However, before the butt of the rifle touched Shinichiro Tamashiro's forehead, the wrist of the resistance soldier was held by a strong hand.

"You... you're looking for death!"

"Am I still wrong?"

It was Asahina. Asahina took action. Not only did he stop the rebels from abusing Tamashiro Shinichiro, but his eyes under the lenses became sharp again in regret, just like the samurai sword in his hand, ready to be unsheathed.

"Swish~!"

The sharp blade was unsheathed, the knife light flashed, and with a "Puff~" sound, the wrist of the rebel holding the gun was cut off at the root. He didn't even have time to scream, and the knife light was seen again, leaving a thin red line on his throat, and gradually, blood beads oozed out.

"Gugugu..."

The rebel soldier widened his eyes and wanted to say something in disbelief, but he couldn't say anything. It might be that his vocal cords had been cut, or it might be that the blood gushing out from inside blocked his throat.

However, it didn't matter, because Asahina had disappeared in front of him. He couldn't turn his head and could only hear the sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood. There was no gunfire, no curses, no screams. All the resistance soldiers in the shelter were sent to Yomi Hirasaka by Asahina in less than a minute.

"Clang~"

Handsomely shaking off the blood on the blade, sheathing the blade, Asahina looked down at the corpse on the ground coldly: "Thank you for letting me find the way forward in the future."

Asahina put away his sharpness and murderous aura, turned around and smiled and nodded to his compatriots who were afraid to retreat, and then walked out.

"Mr. Asahina..." Tamashiro Shinichiro and others stretched out their hands, trying to catch his departing back, but they couldn't say the words to keep him. Because of fear, their weak hands could only be raised halfway.

...

Asahina walked out of the shelter, facing the guns of the Bunitalia army, took the initiative to throw the samurai sword on the ground and raised his hands: "Don't shoot, I am a civilian taking refuge in the shelter. The rebels inside have been killed by me. There are no civilian casualties. It is safe inside."

The Bunitalia soldiers looked at each other after hearing this, and sent several people into the shelter to investigate the situation. After receiving a positive report, they brought the civilians in the shelter out. The surrounding battles have ended and it is confirmed that there is no danger.

"Mr. Asahina? What happened here?" The [Nightmare] Knights led by Hongyue Naoto happened to pass by here and immediately asked when they found the situation here.

The Bunitalia soldiers saw that the visitor was a [Nightmare] Knight, and respectfully told Hongyue Naoto everything that happened here.

"You did a good job. This gentleman is an old acquaintance of mine, not a member of the rebel army." Hongyue Naoto asked the soldiers to put down their guns and lift their guard against Asahina.

"But..." The regular troops hesitated. They saw the bodies that were dragged out. A man with only a knife killed the rebels with guns cleanly and neatly, and was killed without any resistance. This made them doubt Asahina's identity.

"Put down the gun, I will deal with his affairs."

The soldiers hesitated again and again, but still chose to obey the order, but the captain also said that he would report the matter truthfully.

Hongyue Naoto was not angry, but nodded in agreement and praised him for strictly abiding by his duties.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Asahina." Hongyue Naoto picked up the samurai sword on the ground and returned it to Asahina's hand, "The sharp blade is unsheathed, not for killing, but for protection. It seems that you have not abandoned your previous beliefs."

"Haha, the previous beliefs?" Asahina looked at the samurai sword in her hand and smiled bitterly.

"The dusty sharp blade is unsheathed again. Have you made a new choice?" Hongyue Naoto asked.

"Choose..." Asahina looked at the samurai sword in his hand with mixed feelings, then looked at the bodies of the rebels on the ground, then looked at the civilians who were grateful to the Bnitalia Army, and finally, he fell on the Shan Yao and the others in the crowd.

His eyes fixed, his expression firm: "I heard that my position is still reserved for me?"
