After the war between the Black Knights and Britannia was almost over, Lelouch, no, ZERO led all the cadres of the Black Knights to the command hall of Avalon.

"Squeak."

The gate of the command hall was pushed open by Lelouch, and everyone followed him into it.

There were many people standing in the hall, including staff officers and some correspondents who collected battlefield intelligence. The prince in white who still kept smiling stood in front of those people like a crane standing in front of them.

“ZERO.”

Shunazel gently pushed away the crowd on both sides who wanted to pull him down, walked forward and smiled, looking at Lelouch with interest. Only a few meters away from him were a bunch of black muzzles.

"Shunazel, I'm here to negotiate."

"Oh, negotiation?"

Shunazel didn't care much about the threats of the guns around him, so he chewed the word silently and smiled even stronger.

"What are you talking about?"

Of course he knew what Lelouch wanted to talk about, although the Black Knights temporarily achieved a breakthrough victory. However, it was impossible to face the Britannian Empire now.

"All Britannian soldiers got out of Japanese territory."

Lelouch's answer is quite straightforward.

This made the Japanese, such as Karen, Fanyao, Fujido, and Yucheng, behind Lelouch, smile.

"Sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Da da da da da."

A shuttle of bullets shot at his feet. He stood up straight without any reaction, and everyone behind him exclaimed and squatted down. Several holes were shot out of the blanket on the ground. Shunazel smelled the smoke surrounding the gunpowder and frowned silently.

This is just a few warning bullets, and if you don't agree, the consequences can be imagined.

Jade City was aiming at Shunazel with an assault gun and shouting angrily.

"Bastard, you have been caught by us! You dare to..."

Yoshida and Fan were about to stop him. After all, the other party was the second prince of Britannia. If something really happened, I am afraid that for the sake of the reputation of the empire, I would immediately send someone to kill their Black Knights and restore their reputation.

"Calm down, Yucheng."

Lelouch laughed unaware, and he understood that Shunazel seemed to be scared.

However, Lelouch still misunderstood. Shunazel was not afraid of death, but was afraid of death without value.

He has no desires, so he never sticks to anything including his own life.

Under normal circumstances, he will try not to sacrifice his subordinates and people around him, but he will sacrifice others or even his own lives without hesitation when necessary. He is determined to seize the throne and then establish a dictatorial and unified world.

Shunazel slowly raised his head, made a little tidy up, and looked at Lelouch's face still gentle, and said again.

“…I’m sorry to obey.”

Lelouch looked at Shunazel in a little surprised.

"Do you want to die?"

"No, of course not."

Shunazel smiled and shook his head.

"But isn't the so-called 'negotiation' a process of mutual concessions between the two sides? It's not a negotiation that unilaterally allows the empire to retreat unilaterally. ZERO, that's just blackmail. And what's the benefit of retreating like that?"

Lelouch looked at Shunazel calmly.

"You can live."

"Living? Haha..."

Shunazel couldn't help laughing.

"...Ahem, sorry, I thought you were smarter than this."

Lelouch said to Sinazel plainly. He had guessed the other party's intentions.

"If you want to delay time..."

“That’s exactly what it is, time.”

Shunazel clapped his palms and said with appreciation.

"The Empire's fleet is about to enter Zone 11. It's about ten minutes."

He looked at Lelouch with an undetectable provocation in his eyes.

"As you can see, time is on my side."

"Haha, even if that's the case, you will stop your life in ten minutes."

Shunazel said softly, owing slightly, and then stood there motionlessly, as if waiting for the other party to take action.

"Of course, I have no regrets to die at the hands of an enemy like you."

Everyone after Lelouch froze at this moment, and no one dared to speak out.

“…”

Fan was going to stand up first and said anxiously to Lelouch. As the deputy commander of the Black Knights, he now has the right to stand up and remind ZERO.

"Hey, ZERO. If this happens, things are not very good."

Lelouch under the mask showed a hint of ridicule.

"Hahaha, Shunazel, you're wrong. At this time, your fleet is probably gone. If you don't believe it, please use the communicator to ask."

Shunazel frowned tightly, he knew ZERO was not the kind of person who spoke big talk.

Shunazel took out the communicator from his body, and pressed the outside to let everyone present hear him.

"captain?"

"Your Highness! I am the captain of the Second Team of the Formerk Guards!"

Shunazel also began to have an unknown premonition in his heart.

"Hmm?! Have you arrived at the 11th area?"

"Your Highness! We met two black Knightgiga flying in the air in the middle of the journey! The captain has died, and the fleet has now suffered most of the casualties..."

"Bang."

The communication was interrupted, and Shunazel was no longer listening and turned off the communicator.

His eyes gradually became gloomy at this moment.

Shunazel seemed to have guessed who the two black Knightgigas were flying in the air. Black Lancelot and Gawain, he guessed that they should be right.

Black Lancelot had seen him as awesome as soon as possible. He was not inferior to the Knights of the Round Table. His strength was even considered to be at the upper and middle level among the Knights of the Round Table. Gawain had long been captured by the Black Knights.

For the first time in history, he lost the dominance of his words.

ZERO, this man wearing a mask snatched the home court without hesitation.

It was clearly Knightgiga developed by his subordinates, but it was used by the other party.

...

I have never had any experience before.

Anger is the only word that can describe his current mood.

Lelouch said frivolously. He felt extremely happy in his heart. This was his first time to beat Shunazel.

"This is like a 'negotiation', are you right? Shunazel, haha."

Shunazel was silent.

Lelouch said softly.

“Now, let’s put the chips on the table and count them.

You currently have only one chip in your hand - that is, after you die, the Britannian Empire may attack Japan wildly. In other words, this chip will not be cashed after you die. In contrast, our chip is your life.
