Chapter 777 The Emperor's Secret Order
Luciano Brandelli was as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning, and now he was as cold as he was, especially the cold blade in front of him, which was less than a centimeter away from the tip of his nose, piercing the entire cockpit from top to bottom, and nailing Percival to the ground at close range.
Five minutes, I thought it would be a fierce battle between equals, but it ended in just five minutes.
Moreover, Luciano Brandelli knew very well that the reason why he could last for five minutes was that Yang Hui was basically playing during these five minutes, and he was not serious at all, which was also a little face for Luciano Brandelli.
Because within five minutes, [Athena] did not launch any counterattacks against [Percival]'s fierce attack, but only dodged and defended, but when the five minutes were up, the elegant goddess Athena immediately showed her side as the goddess of war, brave, fierce, ruthless, and powerful.
Luciano Brandley only felt that [Athena] flashed and disappeared, and the next second [Percival] was thrown to the ground. He didn't even have time to feel the pain in his back from the violent impact. He felt dizzy. The one who stopped, the threatening cold light appeared in front of him, and he dared not move.
"Hey, hey, hey, Your Highness Yang Hui, are you going to kill me?" Luciano Brandley said with lingering fear.
"I want to kill you, can you still speak now?"
In Luciano Brandley's horrified expression, the sharp blade in front of him quickly pulled out of [Percival's] cockpit. At the angle just now, the sharp blade would cut him in half if it was slightly offset. Yang Hui was so confident that he didn't pause at all, or... he regretted that he didn't slip and kill himself?
He was lucky to survive. This was the first time that Luciano Brandley had such an emotion, but just as he felt relieved, he seemed to fall into a deep ice abyss.
"Swish~"
The cold blade drew a full moon, smoothly cutting the end of the cockpit of [Percival], and the half where Luciano Brandley sat fell to the ground intact.
"The switch of the cockpit is broken, no need to bother the maintenance team, it's more convenient this way." Yang Hui's voice was broadcast through the public channel, so that everyone present could hear it. Because of their excellent military qualities, the [Nightmare] Knights who were watching held back their laughter with strong willpower, secretly sighing that Yang Hui really didn't give them any face.
The Valkyrie troops surrounded by the [Nightmare] Knights in the center were also holding back, but their emotions were different from those of the [Nightmare] Knights. They were holding back their anger. Their masters were mercilessly ridiculed by so many people, and they were able to endure it. It was already a good training by Luciano Brandley.
Of course, the previous intimidation also played a big role.
Luciano Brandley climbed out of the half of the cockpit with an ugly face. On the one hand, the violent turbulence made him uncomfortable, and on the other hand, he was also very angry.
Yang Hui did not kill him, but this was more painful than killing him.
He could already imagine that as a Knight of the Round Table, he was easily fooled by Yang Hui, and then the rumor of humiliating him became a topic of conversation after dinner. His status as a Knight of the Round Table was no longer an honor, but a huge irony.
"Get out of here!"
Seeing the medical staff running up to check him, Luciano Brandelli's anger became even more intense. He pushed the medical staff hard and walked out of the training ground on his own. He was not so thick-skinned to stay here any longer. He put the instructions of the cabinet meeting behind him and just wanted to leave this place quickly.
As for the broken [Percival], someone will recycle it and repair it. Even if it can't be repaired, it's okay. Maybe you can get a better new body.
"Mr. Yang Hui." Regni Rejeta greeted Yang Hui at the exit at the other end of the training ground. "Did you go too far?"
"I have to go too far." Yang Hui explained to Regni Rejeta calmly, "Brandley and I have a bad relationship, which is well known. If I show a friendly attitude, it will make those people think too much."
"I see, I understand."
"Well, you take Bradley and the others to the arranged residence. You can agree to his requests as long as they are not excessive. It can be regarded as a comfort to him."
"Haha, I'm afraid he will think that this is an insult to him." Regni Rejeta covered his mouth and chuckled.
"That's none of my business. I can't control other people's thoughts." Yang Hui shrugged with an innocent expression.
"Please rest assured, there will be no problems with Brandley's inspection, it's just... the secret order of Emperor Charles."
"Yes." Hearing this, Yang Hui's expression also became serious. He had long guessed about the secret order of Charles DI Bunitaria. "When the [Nightmare] Knights were established, the excuse was the sharp sword of the empire. The resistance forces of [ELEVEN] have been completely eradicated. If you want to establish a resistance organization of the scale of the Liberation Front, it will be impossible without more than ten or twenty years. [ELEVEN] is stable, and the sharp sword of the empire does not need to continue to recuperate. Therefore, there are two possibilities. One is to send the [Nightmare] Knights to other battlefields, and the other is to transfer them back to the mainland to replace the Knights of the Round Table who are about to retire."
"Which one do you think is more likely?"
"The first one." Yang Hui said without hesitation, "Charles is a very conceited person. He will not take back the privileges he has given me. He is confident that he can control me, and I am a prince, so it is impossible for me to be a Knight of the Round Table."
The Knights of the Round Table are the strongest knights in the empire. They are the emperor's bodyguards and symbolize the supreme honor. At the same time, the Knights of the Round Table also enjoy very high real power. The first knight can designate a piece of land as his own territory and serve as the lord himself. All others In times of war, the Knights of the Round Table have the right to mobilize any army except the Royal Guard Knights.
But even so, the Knights of the Round Table are just knights. A prince becoming a Knight of the Round Table... that would be a slap in the face of the royal family, so Yang Hui cannot become a Knight of the Round Table.
But... the same cannot be said for his subordinates. The earliest four Zodiacs, Regeni Rejetta, Jeremiah, and Veretta Jean Rowe, and [Jimini] Todo who joined in the middle Kagashiro and the five Gino who appeared as supernovas are all qualified to become Knights of the Round Table.
But as Yang Hui said, Charles DI Bunitaria is extremely conceited, and anything he says will be thrown away. The [Nightmare] Knights are Yang Hui's private army, so it is impossible for him to force him to obtain money from Yang Hui's private army. people.
"Understood."
"But..." At this point, Yang Hui paused, turned and looked into the distance, his sight seemed to have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, back to the imperial capital of Bunitalia, "...it's impossible to go back to the imperial capital. Lost."
…
After a day of venting and resting, Luciano Brandelli finally vented some of his anger and began normal inspection work.
However, it can be seen from the murderous intent hidden in his eyes and the trembling women behind him that his anger has not been extinguished.
In a few days, Regeni Rejetta took Luciano Brandelli around [ELEVEN] in a very casual manner. It was more like a tour than an inspection.
Then, Luciano Brandelli found Yang Hui in the office of the Governor's Palace.
"Your Highness Yang Hui, [ELEVEN]'s inspection work has ended. Under your leadership, [ELEVEN] should be the most prosperous number."
"I don't deny this, Brandley, after the inspection is over, you should go back to Bunitalia, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness Yang Hui, but... you and your Zodiac need to return to Bunitalia with me."
"reason?"
"His Majesty the Emperor's secret order, the fourth prince Yang Hui and his ace Twelve Zodiac returned to the country as representatives of the [Nightmare] Knights to receive the award. This is a great honor, Your Highness Yang Hui, this is the first time that the Emperor has personally awarded a knighthood. "
"When to set off?"
"Three days later, His Highness Yang Hui."
"I understand, you go down first."
"Yes, your highness."
After Luciano Brandley stepped back, Yang Hui tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while, and picked up the phone: "Call the Zodiac to come see me, and by the way, Lelouch. "
"Yes, your highness."
…
Today is a day off. Lelouch doesn't have to go to school. He spends the whole day at the [Nightmare] Knights' station. After suppressing the resistance organization, Lelouch found that he likes this feeling. As a chess player, on the battlefield, It's a chessboard, using soldiers as chess pieces, playing a big game of chess, life and death are only a matter of seconds, using your own wisdom to devour the enemy.
If Yang Hui hadn't allowed it, and Nunnally was still at Ashford's house, he might have just dropped out of school and joined the [Nightmare] Knights.
After finishing his daily training, Lelouch did not forget his good friend and went to the training camp for trainee knights to find Shumu Suzaku. Fortunately, it happened to be his rest time.
"Lelouch! Why are you here?" Seeing Lelouch, Suzaku Shumu was still very surprised. When the resistance organization suppressed the operation, the trainee knight was not directly sent to the battlefield, but was responsible for logistics, and his authority was not high. So Shumu Suzaku didn't know that Lelouch commanded the five Gino men and played a very key role in the battle.
"Yes, you don't know yet, I am considered a non-staff member now, but I am very covetous of the position of chief of staff."
"Eh? You also want to join the [Nightmare] Knights?"
"Well, I have found my own way, so I don't plan to stay in silence anymore."
"Really? Congratulations." Shumu Suzaku is sincerely happy for his friend. Lelouch has been complicated since he was a child. He seems to be devoted to Nunnally, but he has always been confused, not knowing what he wants and what he should do. What.
"Well, congratulations to you too, Suzaku. I saw your training results. It won't be long before you can be promoted to an official knight." Lelouch patted Shumu Suzaku on the shoulder.
"Really? That's really good news." Shumu Suzaku also smiled happily. He joined the [Nightmare] Knights just to become a formal knight. He became stronger and stronger, and then kept climbing up. Fight to become one of the last two Zodiacs.
Because he knew that Yang Hui was a very protective person, and the closer he was to him, the higher his treatment would be. Shumu Zhuque was not doing it for himself, but wanted to seek better treatment for [ELEVEN].
