best villain

(I decided that this world will only be written until the end of the first season...the voting survey for the next world will be opened in a few days)

The mecha bearing the name of Gloucester wields a Knight Lance. .

Gilford barely blocked the enemy's stabbing blade.

There was a clang, and the gold and iron clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

He blocked the blade with his spear and stabbed at the opponent's head, but the opponent took a step back and easily avoided his attack.

A couple of times...but now is not the time to think about that.As much as Guilford hated to admit it, he was at a disadvantage.

Moreover, this machine—

Not a fourth-generation Glasgow-retrofit-the rogue.

At least the body color is different.In other words, this machine is not the Black Knights?

Gilford was not familiar with this aircraft, but the prototype should be a scoundrel.

Modified like the Glasgow, but with a slightly different shape.Moreover, the speed and strength of this machine far surpassed that of the rogue, and it was comparable to the Gloucester he was driving in terms of basic surname.

(Glasgow of the fourth generation - rogue - nameless organism)

(Sunderland in the fifth generation - Gloucester)

There are five enemy planes, one of which is very eye-catching, obviously the captain's plane.

In other words, Gilford's current opponent.

.

Is it—

Is this guy the man named Fujido?

Gilford gritted his teeth resentfully.

Miracle Fujido.

Seven years ago, in the war of repeated defeats, the only Japanese soldier who could tenaciously resist the Britannia offensive.

Or is it more appropriate to be called a warrior?

He is the confidant of Major General Katase, the leader of the current Japanese Liberation Front.

If this guy is really Fujido, where has he been hiding before?Could it be that he had expected the Black Knights to launch a surprise attack from the very beginning, and rushed out at the right time?

impossible!

"Mr Guilford!"

Suddenly, our friendly army shouted through the communication channel.

It was a female knight whose name seemed to be Veletta.She originally did not belong to Governor Cornelia's direct troops, but a soldier under the former Governor, Prince Clovis, a standard pure-blooded faction.

After listening to her report, Gilford's eyes widened.

"You said Zero's troops retreated?"

"Yes. Next, I will come to support later."

idiot!

Gilford managed to hold back his curse.

The woman didn't even think about it, how could that Zero withdraw his troops so easily when his side was facing a double attack?

Can't even see through this point, and ran to support in a daze, it's just ridiculous.

"The important thing is the position of zero! Give me the information!"

"Yes Yes!"

Startled, Veretta immediately sent the message.

The moment he saw the sent data, Gilford's handsome face turned pale.

Actually, Guilford's purpose was not to fight with these airframes.

His actual task is to protect Governor Cornelia.

but--

Although it was only a temporary surname, he was indeed not by Cornelia's side.

"The enemy is targeting me, Guilford."

He thought back to the conversation a few minutes earlier.

"In this case, we will do whatever we can. You will fight with them for a while, then retreat and gather at the ninth location."

Of course, if successful, a perfect encirclement and annihilation battle can be achieved.

Because the ninth location is a dry valley with high cliffs on both sides, it is difficult even for the machine body to climb up.

If the enemy only focuses on chasing Cornelia, they can take advantage of the terrain and turn the enemy into a hornet's nest.

Still, it's impossible to say he wasn't worried.

If it does work, then of course it's fine.

But this is a risky move after all.Moreover, the bait was an extremely important banner of victory for Guilford and the entire Britannian army—Governor Cornelia of the Eleventh District.Guilford tried to stop her, but couldn't.

Because, Cornelia has experienced countless battles, survived, and brought countless victories.

Its combat experience is impeccable.

However, the current situation is——

Seen through by zero!

They seemed to be retreating, giving up entanglement with Veleta's forces, and heading directly to the ninth location.

Thinking of this, Gilford's face changed drastically, and he shouted into the communicator:

"His Royal Highness Cornelia!"

"...I can hear you, Guilford."

Cornelia said in a self-deprecating tone.

Her Gloucester stood alone now in the middle of the ravine.

But this place, which was originally used to kill the enemy, has already been taken first.

It was a crimson machine, a knightmare she had never seen before.

"I'm getting older, and my judgment is no longer good... Maybe it can be said that in this situation."

Thinking of this, Cornelia also clenched the joystick in her hand.

..................

After assembling the energy filler used to supply energy, the huge white body immediately had life.

"Guide weapon z-01, Lancelot activates now."

The voice of correspondent Cecil sounded through the radio, and then the staff began to check one after another.

"Device z-01 login confirmation, confirmation of individual identification information, confirmation of establishment of a complete mechanical connection."

"Yggdrasill resonance confirmation. Rejection response: Weak. Device pressure response is weak, all within the allowable range."

"The self-inspection of the fuselage is completed, and the status is good. Prepare tactical storage, status confirmation. Reconfirmation is complete."

Suzaku held the joystick and entered the relevant password on the control panel.

"The ignition device is activated. The propeller and engine are running well at low speed, and the connection with the sandborad (sand propulsion device) is complete. The assembly system is good. The external weapon connection function is activated."

After the inspection, Cecil conveyed the combat mission:

"Guide weapon z-01, Lancelot went to the predetermined location and clicked to destroy the enemy."

"yes, mylord."

Suzaku responded quietly.

At this moment, Lloyd stepped in.

"Suzaku~ I have a question."

"Yes, please."

"It's nothing~ it's not a big deal."

Lloyd's tone was still the same without any sense of tension.

"Are you familiar with Vice Governor Euphemia?"

"No, to be honest, this is the first time I have communicated with the Vice Governor."

Suzaku replied in surprise.

Then, Lloyd on the communication screen made an exaggerated sound.

"Oh, so it seems that Her Royal Highness appreciates you very much."

"...uh... is that so?"

"Well, work hard on your own."

At this point, the communication screen is interrupted.

Suzaku blinked. Although Lloyd seemed to have misunderstood something, no matter what he said, it didn't make much sense. <, out. "

honestly--

He didn't understand what Deputy Governor Euphemia said, nor did he understand the thoughts in her eyes.

However, as a soldier, obeying orders is the first important job.

"...Suzaku-kun? That's it, since this is your wish, you can just let it go. This is my permission...Of course, although it is insincere to say so, I do give the right to choose I leave it to you."

There was a vague sense of familiarity in this tone.Moreover, that look...is definitely not a sincere expectation...he can guarantee it.

If I had to describe it, it would be like ice cold, not simply indifference lacking in emotional changes, but from the heart... obviously full of smiles... but there is a kind of chilling coldness.

"......"

Suzaku decided not to think about this incomprehensible thing.

He's been like this since a long time ago.

Lancelot, who flew out of the tractor like a cannonball, flew towards the dusty mountain forest where the mudslide had just stopped.

at the same time

The command platform of the G1 land battleship.

"A report came from the defensive line that the long-range anti-armor mines have been deployed and can be detonated at any time."

"Understood...then..." Hearing the staff officer's report, Euphemia glanced at the strategic dashboard, and the troops around the base camp were gradually shrinking, but the enemy didn't seem to have reacted, or thought they had Ambush, so I dare not attack recklessly, in short, according to the current speed of the enemy...

"1 minutes and 20 seconds."

"Eh?"

"I said detonate in one minute and 20 seconds."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the staff officer immediately went to prepare with a solemn expression.

The staff officers present looked at Euphemia with subtle eyes. It was hard for them to imagine that a girl who had never been in contact with a formal battle since she was a child could think of such a simple and efficient tactic.

the other side.

At the foot of the mountains, the surrounding forests and roads, many checkpoints that were originally established were all covered by thick smoke and lights, and many bullet casings and traces of mechanical crawlers could be found along the way.

Of course, corpses and dilapidated bodies and their parts are also indispensable.

The commander of the assault force this time is a Japanese major who has served in the army for more than ten years.

He was old enough to be called an uncle by any young man, but at this moment, he led hundreds of subordinates along the road to continuously break through the defense line of the Britannian army with a capable demeanor that did not match his age.Although the assistance of the second unit lurking in the woods was indispensable, it was precisely because of his grandiose attack that he attracted the firepower of the Britannian army and provided opportunities for the friendly forces of the second unit.

"...Lieutenant, how far is it?"

The major picked up the binoculars and looked towards the warship that was faintly visible in the distance.

"Report, there is still less than one kilometer left. If you rush directly from the woods, you can reach the combat location in less than 10 minutes."

The lieutenant next to him answered with a serious face.

"is it?"

"However, there is an undetected range, and the Britannian army is very likely to ambush there."

At this moment, a scout ran over in a hurry.

"Reporting to the major, the results of the investigation have come out. The enemy has all withdrawn, and it seems that they are planning to move their positions to join Cornelia's troops."

"what?"

Hearing the news, the major's expression changed.

Immediately give the order:

"Contact the second unit, launch a feint attack from the highway, and hold them back."

"Our side will set off immediately! Outflank the past from the woods, and we must leave their command center behind!"

"Yes!"

Following his order, hundreds of soldiers and several aircraft diverted to the woods.

However, only less than 3 minutes passed.

On the strategic dashboard of the G1 land battleship, the red sign that originally represented the enemy turned into lost almost instantly....(to be continued.)
