Chapter 2217 The Arrival of the Black Knights

Seeing that Jill was determined to go her own way, Emma didn't say much in the end, but just sighed.

Hilda even asked: "So, we have betrayed the Mislchi Empire and become traitors?"

An Qi asked back: "Is there any difference?"

Hilda laughed at herself as she recalled how she and Angie had escaped from here and returned to the interior of the Misrchi Empire to look for her mother, and then her mother had ruthlessly reported them, and then they were wanted, and then they were arrested and flogged in public, and then they were caught and sent back here. (Note 1)

"Yeah, it seems like we were traitors a long time ago."

Angie looked at Hilda and asked, "So, are you going to rebel with the commander?"

"Let me make it clear first, I want to rebel. I don't have any attachment to Mislchi anymore. If that place can be destroyed, I would be happy to help."

The Hilda trio hesitated, and Jill spoke up.

"You don't need to make a choice. Whether this succeeds or not, it's all my responsibility. You just need to follow my orders."

Seeing that Jill was willing to take the blame, Hilda and the other two stopped worrying about it.

Soon, the news that Commander Jill was going to lead a rebellion spread rapidly throughout the island base.

But before everyone on the island could accept this result, a huge warship appeared from the sea level, forcing those who were originally hesitant to make a choice without any hesitation.

A huge warship appeared from the sea level and flew over at an extremely fast speed.

But even faster were the Gundams that took off from the aviation battleship and surrounded the entire island in the blink of an eye.

Nanali, who had just been invited into the headquarters, saw the huge battleship and waved excitedly.

"Xia Yin, look, it's the Minerva, my brothers are here!" (Note 2)

Princess Xia Yin was very calm.

"Alright, alright, I get it. It's Lelouch's Minerva. Really, you're so excited about just a Minerva. It's not a space Noah-class ship. There's nothing to be excited about with a ship that's only 600 meters long."

Without even turning her head, Nunnally replied, "I don't care about the ship or anything. I'm just happy to see my brother coming."

"Hey, that's... Cornelia's Shining Red Lion Gundam? Huh, brother?"

As Nanali looked puzzled, a Gundam with white armor but cracks in the armor that looked like heat sinks emitting red light, three floating blades on each shoulder, red GN particles constantly emitting from its back, and a red cape flew to the front of the team.

This Gundam is what Nunnally said, Cornelia's personal machine, the Shining Red Lion Gundam. (Note 3)

Cornelia's voice came from the external speaker of the Shining Red Lion Gundam.

"This is Cornelia LI Brittany, deputy leader of the special operations force, the Black Knights, of the Blue Star Human Unity."

"Unknown forces, please hand over our three fairy Leons and their members."

"Otherwise we cannot guarantee your personal safety."

After Cornelia finished speaking, a number of Gundams wielding dual beam rifles, with strange backpacks on their backs and green glowing heat dissipation vents all over their bodies, gathered towards Cornelia's Shining Crimson Lion Gundam, changing from the original encirclement state to a formation state.

Looking at these Gundams, Emma was a little confused: "Commander, this is..."

Jill's forehead was sweating a little, but his expression was extremely excited as he smiled.

"That's right. These are the fourth-generation Gundams produced by Wang Heavy Industries. They are said to have the strength of a true fifth-generation machine, and their performance is at the level of the Strike Freedom Gundam." (Note 4)

"It seems that the Black Knights are indeed a special force. They can use such a good machine. They are really rich."

As he spoke, Jill signaled for Latoni to contact Cornelia.

"This is Latoni, Deputy Captain Cornelia. Princess Xia Yin and Nanali are safe and there is no problem. The base has surrendered. Deputy Captain Cornelia, please take over."

Cornelia was confused: "What, what? The people in this base surrendered?"

"Latoni are you sure you're not kidding?"

Latoni replied seriously: "Yes, Deputy Captain Cornelia, we are not joking. The base commander here is right next to me, and she wants to surrender."

"And she has information about the Leonard that my brother is looking for."

Hearing this, Cornelia perked up and replied.

"Okay, I understand. I'll send someone to receive you right away. I'll make sure you're safe first, and then we can talk about other things."

Cornelia said as she pressed a button to Lelouch on the screen.

"Lelouch, you heard me, didn't you?"

Lelouch put his hands behind his back and nodded in response.

"Yes, I heard it all. Let's receive it first. We can talk about the rest later."

Afterwards, with the surrender of Arzenal Island's group, the base was quickly taken over by the Black Knights.

But what surprised Karen was: "No, this island is full of girls? There is not a single boy? Are we in the land of girls?"

Suzaku stood next to a flying motorcycle, looking angry, "Kallen, look here, these things seem to be for combat. The armor is thinner than KMF, it's simply a moving coffin."

Kallen was shocked: "Oh my God, what on earth is this place?"

As the two shouted, Hilda and the others looked at Lelouch with shining eyes, and stars kept coming out of their eyes. Seeing this, Nunnally became alert and ran to Lelouch and hugged him.

"Onii-chan!"

"Nunali, I'm glad you're okay."

Lelouch, who was a sister-con, was slightly relieved to see that Nunnally was indeed fine, and asked in a low voice.

"How are you, are you feeling okay, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Nanali shook her head: "No, the exoskeleton system developed by Aunt Elnora does not make me feel any burden. I enjoy the feeling of being able to run freely like this." (Note 5)

Lelouch smiled a little when he heard this.

"Yeah, that's good."

Note 1. PS: Hilda is the second female character in "Rondo of Angels and Dragons". The early development of her relationship with the heroine Angie was established in this plot, and the general trend is like this. If you are interested, you can read the original work, which is quite funny. It is not a masterpiece, but it is definitely not a rubbish. It belongs to the official just to let the voice actors play memes and have fun, and some rationality has been lost. It is also a rare work with all the CVs of the three major families. It is completely different from works like IQ Machine.

Note 2: PS: After the unification of Planet Aquamarine, Lelouch's Black Knights did not disband, but continued to be maintained as a special operations force to maintain order in the overseas archipelago. Since the construction of the Cosmic Noah class was too expensive, Zhao Zheng and Li Xingke repaired a Minerva for Lelouch to use as a mobile base for the Black Knights. Originally, Li Xingke planned to build an Archangel for Lelouch, but that Archangel was snatched by Maru and Bakilulu, and became the two's exclusive vehicle for traveling and strolling around.

Note 3: PS: The Shining Red Lion Gundam is the final prototype of the 3rd Era Sky Gundam manufactured by Wang Liumei. It is also the 4th and last Sky Gundam. The performance of this machine far exceeds that of the custom-built th Era Star Gundam. It is the final completed version of the true fifth-generation machine originally recognized by the Three Kingdoms. Later, the performance was further improved by the installation of the red GN solar furnace (pseudo-furnace), reaching the current theoretical sixth-generation performance.

The integration of the current recognized real sixth-generation machine is the conventional combat power of the Gundam owned by the Celestial Being. The final battle data of Gundam OOR is recognized as the standard of the seventh-generation machine.

Originally, the Wang Foundation intended to give it to Lelouch, but because Lelouch was weak and could not afford the performance of the Shining Red Lion Gundam, it was given to Cornelia by Lelouch.

Cornelia once wanted to dye the Shining Crimson Lion Gundam purple, but Lelouch complained that everything was purple and that was not good, so she gave up.

By the way, Lelouch has used the Adjuster Bloodline Card and gained the Adjuster attribute bonus, which successfully improved his physique from being able to gasp for air after climbing two floors to being able to gasp for air after climbing three floors. This level of improvement was ridiculed by CC, Cornelia, and Kallen, who suspected that the Adjuster attribute bonus was not added to his physique, but to something else instead.

Note 4: PS: The current standards for the fifth-generation aircraft recognized by the integration are the Strike Freedom Gundam and the Hi-ν Gundam. However, because the NT-B system of the Manatee directly becomes a super system after the explosion, the fifth-generation aircraft standard is set as the Strike Freedom Gundam, which cannot be upgraded, but it is limited to performance, not defense. The defense of the Strike Freedom Gundam is too fragile and cannot be controlled by non-super ace pilots, otherwise the damage rate is extremely high. Therefore, the paper data of the Sky Knight Gundam is the mobility and attack power of the Strike Freedom Gundam, but the defense is stronger than the Strike Freedom Gundam because it uses the super alloy of the Mazinger Z series. But from the face of the data, the Sky Knight Gundam series is stronger than the Strike Freedom Gundam.

In addition, the Sky Knight Gundam is a Gundam with the theme of entering the starry sky after the unification, so it is named Sky Knight. It is the main sales series of the Wang Group. It competes with the machines produced by other heavy factories and attracts much attention. However, due to its high cost, it is not equipped in many cases. The Black Knights, as a special combat force, can be equipped in full.

Note 5. PS: After the unification, the main characters of Mercury Witch, mother and daughter, went to get the Gundam technology of the Mars Witch Group, and according to the original intention, used the system of the Wind Spirit Gundam for medical treatment. Nunnally's blindness was restored by the anti-GEASS device developed by CC, but her legs were disabled and lame and could not be cured. When Elnora knew about it, she immediately invited Nunnally to participate in the experiment of this medical exoskeleton.

Nunnally agreed and installed an exoskeleton, which allowed her to walk like a normal person, but long-term use might be a burden, so Lelouch was worried.
