Chapter 778 Future Possibilities

"Your Highness Lelouch." Just when Lelouch and Suzaku Kururugi were talking happily, a messenger ran over in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Lelouch was not angry because he was interrupted when chatting with his friends. Although it was only once, he was no longer so immature after experiencing the baptism of war.

Under normal circumstances, the messenger would only convey Yang Hui's orders. He was considered to be Yang Hui's real direct department, and seeing that he was running out of breath, it should be a very urgent matter.

"Your Highness's emergency call."

"Emergency call?" Lelouch was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "I know, I'll leave immediately."

The messenger saluted and ran away in a hurry. It seems that he has other people to convey the emergency call.

"Then I'll go first, Suzaku, you have to work hard. When you are promoted to a formal knight, I will go to Yang Hui to ask for people." Lelouch patted Lelouch on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Well, I will, and you should do your best too."

Lelouch nodded and turned to leave the apprentice knight's camp. Soon after, Suzaku Kururugi's rest time was over and he returned to the team for the next training.

"The results of this year's promotion assessment will be out soon. I hope I can pass..."

Just when Suzaku Kururugi thought so on his way back to the team, the instructor in charge of managing it found him.

"What? I... was promoted?" Suzaku Kururugi looked confused.

"Yes, congratulations, Knight Kururugi, you are now a formal [Nightmare] Knight." The instructor said to Suzaku Kururugi with relief.

The instructor is a Bunitarian, and he is also an elite veteran who followed Yang Hui to fight north and south at the beginning of the establishment of the [Nightmare] Knights. At the beginning, he, like most Bunitarians, looked down on numbers from all over the world.

But under the influence and influence of Yang Hui, the principles of the [Nightmare] Knights have penetrated into his bones. The strong are the king. No matter where you come from, as long as you are good enough, you can be recognized and deserve respect.

"But... but isn't there still a month before this year's promotion assessment?" Suzaku asked honestly.

"Yes, but there are exceptions. You were unfortunately not selected last year, but we have always seen your excellence. This year you have also made great efforts. Your results have already exceeded the requirements of the formal assessment, so several of us instructors have jointly reported and applied for your early promotion."

"Thank you very much, instructor." Suzaku was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and thanked excitedly.

"Haha, you don't have to thank us, we are also selfish in doing this." The instructor smiled straightforwardly, "On the one hand, we will also receive rewards from His Highness for replenishing excellent fresh blood for [Nightmare]; on the other hand..."

As he spoke, the instructor lowered his voice, leaned close to Suzaku's ear and said to him, "... There are many good seedlings in this session, and there are only a few places. You and the other guys who are directly promoted should not occupy other people's places."

"Uh..." Suzaku was stunned for a moment, smiled embarrassedly, and secretly probed "I... I understand, instructor. "

"Well, the young man is teachable." The instructor nodded with satisfaction, then patted Suzaku Kururugi's back, causing him to stagger. "Hurry up and pack your things. Your transfer order will come soon. Don't embarrass us when you arrive at the new unit!"

"Yes!"

...

Because of the importance of the emergency summons, Lelouch and the ten Twelve Zodiacs who were called arrived at the Governor's Mansion at the fastest speed. They were all puzzled as to why Yang Hui summoned them with an emergency summons. After all, the suppression operation of [ELEVEN] had just ended not long ago, and there shouldn't be a huge war.

However, after Yang Hui informed everyone of Charles DI Bunitaria's secret order, everyone had different expressions.

Regni Regeta and Fujido Kagamishiro looked very calm, as if the incident had nothing to do with them; Jeremiah, Villetta, and Joan Luo remained calm, but there was a faint flash of excitement in their eyes; Ania continued to be expressionless, and then blatantly took pictures of each other's expressions; Gino, Ophis, Audrin, and Monica all had complicated expressions and didn't know what they were thinking.

Finally, there was Lelouch, who looked quite disdainful.

"Tsk, it's been so long, and that old guy finally remembered to reward you?" Lelouch was not just talking about the suppression of the resistance organization. How much credit can you get in the suppression?

He was talking about all the achievements of the [Nightmare] Knights since their establishment.

In terms of military exploits, the [Nightmare] Knights defeated [ELEVEN] with very few troops.

There are more in other aspects. The training system formulated by Yang Hui has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the entire army of Bunitaria. The scientific research department of the [Nightmare] Knights has accelerated the iteration and update of the Empire Knightmare. There are also various civilian technologies. Now Bunitaria's technological level is at least 50 years ahead of the world.

These are all the achievements of the [Nightmare] Knights. At least Yang Hui's achievements should be counted, right?

But after so many years, except for the governor of [ELEVEN], Yang Hui or the [Nightmare] Knights have not received any rewards. Even the governor of [ELEVEN] cannot be considered a reward, because [ELEVEN] was conquered by Yang Hui himself, and this is his territory.

"Rewards or something, I don't care." Yang Hui shrugged, and at the same time looked at Jeremiah, Viretta and June Luo who were a little excited with a meaningful look.

Feeling Yang Hui's scrutiny, the three of them lowered their heads in shame. They are now [Nightmare] Knights, and one of the ace twelve zodiacs among the elite. They are Yang Hui's personal subordinates. Their loyalty should be given to Yang Hui, and they should not be excited about Charles DI Bunetalia's reward.

"We are now able to be self-sufficient. His reward is not that important. Just accept it if there is one. Who would dislike it?"

This sentence also alleviated the shame of Jeremiah and the other two, making them feel relieved.

"The problem is not the reward itself, right?" Lelouch frowned and said, "If you really want to reward the [Nightmare] Knights, you don't need to go back to your country. You must have other intentions."

"It's a very accurate judgment. The information that the emperor got from the ninth knight is that several round table knights are going to retire."

"This! Your Highness, please refuse the emperor no matter what." Everyone present was stunned for a moment, except Lelouch and Regency Regeta, who immediately knelt on one knee and made a request to Yang Hui.

That's right, even now, the Knights of the Round Table are the highest honor among the knights of the empire.

But they all know one thing very well, that is, after becoming the Knights of the Round Table, they are no longer the [Nightmare] Knights.

The Knights of the Round Table are the commanding heights of the knights, but more often they are just symbolic existences, and the Knights of the Round Table are basically not needed.

Although it is safe, it is also a limitation. Not being able to take action means that you can no longer continue to build merits. After all, the Knights of the Round Table are just knights, not nobles. No matter how high and loud the honor is, it is not as good as the actual reward.

"Don't worry, he won't ask for anyone. He didn't choose the Knights of the Round Table in person, and he won't take back the rewards he gave out. He won't do anything that would slap himself in the face." Yang Hui said to the nervous people, calming their worries. "Generally speaking, the Knights of the Round Table are recommended to the emperor by the active Knights of the Round Table, and then judged by him. Before the recommendation, the recommender will personally recruit you, so after you go back, there will definitely be active Knights of the Round Table looking for you. If you don't want to, just refuse directly."

"Yes, your highness."X10

Jeremiah and others were relieved after hearing this. Unlike Regni Rejeta and Fujido Kagashiro, they were loyal to the Bunital Empire while swearing allegiance to Yang Hui, while Regni Rejeta and Fujido Kagashiro were loyal to Yang Hui himself.

"Then tell all knights that the [Nightmare] Knights will enter the second battle preparation and be ready to set off on an expedition at any time."

"Expedition!?" Everyone looked at Yang Hui in surprise.

"Yes, expedition." Yang Hui nodded seriously, "[ELEVEN] has stabilized, and there will be no problems within a dozen years. As the sharpest blade of the empire, it is not appropriate for the [Nightmare] Knights to remain in the scabbard."

Everyone bowed their heads and fell into thought, then nodded. When Yang Hui established the [Nightmare] Knights, which belonged only to him, he used the "sharpest sword of the empire" as an excuse. Now [ELEVEN] is stable, but there are still many digital areas that have not been completely stabilized, and there are still more territories waiting for the empire to conquer.

"Two possibilities, one is the EU, the other is the Middle East." Lelouch raised two fingers, then bent one, "There are Cornelia and the [Rose Witch] Knights in the Middle East, and our going there is just icing on the cake; so the greater possibility is to go to the EU."

"EU? If I remember correctly, the one who is currently fighting in the EU is Grand Duke Augusta Henry Highland, and the four knights under his command are also famous for their bravery and good fighting skills." Monica recalled the intelligence she knew and said that combining the intelligence of both sides, she felt that neither side needed the [Nightmare] Knights to participate in the war.

"The EU has been very lively recently." As he said this, Yang Hui gave a look to Regine Regetta, who understood and distributed the intelligence prepared in advance.

"This!"

Intelligence shows that in order to deal with the fierce attack of the four major knights under Augusta Henry Hyland, the EU, which was divided by internal strife, once again came together and developed a new generation of Knightmare [Alexander] belonging to the EU under the leadership of the genius girl Anna Guleiman. At the same time, under the leadership of the genius girl Rena von Blego in commanding operations, the originally fragmented front was rebuilt, and the special operations team [W-ZERO] was formed by imitating the model of elite knights such as the [Nightmare] Knights.

For a time, the four brave and warlike knights encountered huge obstacles, and the entire battle situation fell into a stalemate.
