The 21st century of gangsters everywhere

Chapter 157 155 Downhill
"Is Li here too? What's the matter with your miserable state?!" Beside Cornelia's body, which has lost both arms, has run out of energy, and has damaged legs and waist, Guilford looked back at the high-speed approaching Yes, the Advance that has almost burned to the torch.

In the second half of the journey, Li Ping simply opened the cockpit and drove the KMF with the top open.

But because of the draft, the fire seemed to burn even more.

"... Hearing Her Majesty Cornelia say her last words again, I was a little anxious. It seems that Lancelot has caught up."

"Well, thanks to your advice, I saved my life." Cornelia sighed, being saved by NUMBERS was a kind of humiliation to her.

"But you hurry down, it looks like your body is about to explode." Guilford operated the body and stretched out his hand beside the Advance cockpit.

Li Ping jumped into Guilford's hand.

Just after taking cover behind Cornelia's fuselage, the Advance exploded.

"It's a rare new type of machine that has only been opened a few times..." Li Ping was a little bit sorry, this machine was used very smoothly.

"If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come. The black box should still be there. Then, according to your data, entrust the country to develop a new airframe." Cornelia opened the cockpit and jumped down. "Gilford, convey to the whole army that we are preparing to retreat. There is no reason to continue sacrificing our soldiers. Maintain the fighting posture and retreat slowly. Although I don't want to admit it, this time it is our failure."

"Ah? Ah... Yes Your Highness."

"It seems that the evaluation of you is still too low." Cornelia looked at Li Ping. "However, there is one person in the Black Knights who is also very good. She is also a red machine, although she is still very immature. You can try to fight her next time. Oh, she is still a girl."

"Oh? Is that so?" Of course... Kallen's operation skills were trained by Li Ping as a sparring partner. Although in order to prevent the four precious black knights from being damaged, the two of them dared not let go. Practice, but even so, two rogues were lost in practice.

It directly led to the fact that only two KMFs of the Black Knights could be put into battle during the anti-drug operation in Kyushu. If Li Ping and Karen were not pilots outside the specifications, they could have fought against nearly thirty Sarandes with two rogues. The Black Knights have long been expelled for things like this.

Not long after, Dalton led his direct troops to join Cornelia, and the logistics troops risked their lives to send up energy boxes and backup arms to replenish and prepare the Cornelia machine.

Then under the escort of the personal guards, Cornelia returned to G1.

As for Li Ping, whose hair was curled by the flames, his face was three points black, and his whole body exuded the smell of barbecue, he was transported down together while sitting in the palm of the Guildford machine.

"Oh, is it so miserable? Li Jun~" Li Ping just jumped off the palm of the Guildford machine, when he saw Earl Lloyd who was about to set off to meet Suzaku.

"That's right, the machine's automatic fire extinguishing system is malfunctioning, and the whole machine is on fire..." Li Ping laughed. "Can Lancelot of Earl Lloyd produce a second one?"

"Impossible for the time being... the cost of this Lancelot before the practical application is completed is really outrageously high, a high cost that even His Royal Highness Schneizel cannot tolerate.

If Lancelot's technology could not be applied to Avalon, I am afraid that His Royal Highness Schneizel would not continue to invest, right?And now prepare the parts... Huh?What about your Advance? "

"It exploded."

"...Uh, maybe it won't be mass-produced for the time being. I'm afraid it's the limit to supplement Lancelot's spare parts." Even Earl Lloyd's indifference to world affairs felt distressed for a while. "What kind of battle is it..."

"Besieged by five pilots with skills similar to Sir Guilford's, driving a machine that is weaker than Lancelot, thank God for being alive."

"Please give me a copy of the combat data."

"We'll have to wait until the black box is recovered."

"That's all right~ Let's go pick up Suzaku first, and it looks like Lancelot has gone berserk."

"Huh? Runaway?"

"Lee, let's go, go and command the troops to retreat first." Guilford saw that Li Ping was actually talking to Lloyd, and called Li Ping over.

"Ah, yes!"

After walking to the podium, Li Ping understood the damage of this incident more intuitively.

About four divisions were invested in the troops, and the second division of General Alex was in the center of the mudslide and was basically wiped out.General Dalton's 20rd Division was on the edge of the mudslide. At that moment, 30% of the troops were swept away. When retreating, they were pinched back and forth by the troops of the Neon Liberation Front. Although they barely broke through, the tanks and infantry were basically wiped out. , the entire division has less than [-] KMFs left that can still move.

The First Division is mainly an infantry unit, deployed in cities near the Narita Mountains and at the foot of the Naritasan Mountains to block traffic.However, the mudslide rushed directly into the city at the foot of the mountain, and the infantry troops deployed here were basically wiped out.

Although there is no accurate data yet, it can be said that [-]% of the buildings in the entire city have been destroyed by mudslides. It can be said that the city has been substantially destroyed.Because of the mess left by Clovis, the household registration in the non-concession area has not been done at all, so it is temporarily impossible to count the casualties of the people in Narita City, but judging from the current residents who have taken refuge in the city, this city There are about [-] permanent residents.

There are only about 1 residents who have taken refuge near G3000.

In addition to the damage caused by the mudslide, Cornelia lost about 35% of her troops during the battle, and most of the losses occurred in the counterattack of the Neon Liberation Front after the mudslide.

"...This kind of battle with such a large collateral loss..." Li Ping frowned as he looked at the damage report.

"That's what happens when a trapped animal fights, what about the Black Knights?" Cornelia changed her clothes and walked into the bridge.

"Because the Neon Liberation Front set up a heavy line of defense when they retreated, it was impossible to pursue them. I'm afraid they fled among them." Guilford was also browsing the information collected by the staff officer.

"However, if the largest stronghold is destroyed, the anti-government forces in this area should lose their core appeal." Li Ping said casually.

"The core appeal...? Ah, do you want to talk about the role of the flag? It should be, but the Black Knights, who have caused great damage to us by taking advantage of the chaos, may become the new flag of this region.

The rumors that began to circulate in the eleventh district also made me very concerned. "

"Eh? Rumors?" Li Ping turned his head to look at Cornelia in a daze. He compiled a lot of relevant rumors based on his memory, and then compiled the Black Knights' external public opinion war mode with reference to the Unrestricted War mode, because he has been very busy recently. Lelouch is doing the follow-up operations, and I don't even know what it's like now.

"After communicating with Brother Huang, I found out that some of them... I feel like I want to believe it." Cornelia threw a folder to Li Ping.

"The emperor is obsessed with supernatural phenomena, and the Holy Britannia Empire's invasion of countries is based on the guarantee of some kind of relic."

"The emperor smelted copper, had an indecent relationship with his elder brother, and used inhumane methods to transform his elder brother into a 12-year-old."

"The former princess of Britannia, the former knight of the round table, the shining Mariana was probably killed because she broke the relationship between the emperor and her brother."

"Ten tips for the emperor's super-skilled students."

"After the emperor has a hundred princes, he can live forever."

"..."

The corner of Li Ping's mouth twitched.

"This stigmatization of the royal family..."

"But... there are several of them that I am very concerned about." Cornelia's voice came faintly. "On the day Princess Mariana was assassinated, I was responsible for the security work, and I have not been able to investigate the truth until now."
