Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1234: Difficulty Facing Lelouch

In the desert near the border with Kyrgyzstan, there is a huge refugee camp, which is home to a large number of refugees who have lost their homes due to the war.

At this moment, Nunnally and Euphemia are carrying out a comfort activity in the refugee camp. Nunnally has perfectly integrated into this world, and all the memories of this world are stored in her brain.

To be honest, it was hard for Nunnally to accept it at first. She never expected that her brother would do such terrible things. Although he sacrificed himself for world peace in the end, Nunnally still didn't know how to face Lelouch. After all, she was an enemy of Lelouch, and Lelouch died in front of her, the last one. It was only then that Nunnally in this world learned the whole truth of "Zero Requiem".

Lelouch of this world resorted to cruel and ruthless means to become the 99th emperor of the Holy Bunitalia Empire. After completely controlling the Earth Federation, he ruled with a very brutal attitude, causing panic and misery among the people. However, this was all to focus all the hatred of the world on Lelouch. Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, he was killed by the Black Knights ZERO disguised as Suzaku, thus ending the rule of the Holy Bunitalia Empire and bringing the world to peace.

This is [Zero Requiem].

Lelouch of this world should have died at the end of "Zero Requiem", but when he defeated Charles DI Bunitalia, because of the "Sword of Akasha" system, he absorbed the fragments of C-world when C-world was shattered, making Lelouch immortal.

But at the same time, because his consciousness has been trapped in the broken C world, he has become crazy and has no self-awareness. CC has been taking Lelouch to travel around the world, exploring the remains of GEASS, and seeking ways to save Lelouch.

According to CC's plan in this world, the ruins under Zilkustan were her last hope. However, on the way to Zilkustan, the Promise Corps arrived, Lelouch of the two worlds merged, and the people of Zilkustan also merged. No conflict occurred, and there was no need to continue the plan.

But after learning the truth about "Zero Requiem" and knowing that she was an enemy of Lelouch, Nunnally couldn't accept it immediately even though she knew that it happened in this world.

"Nunali, take a rest." Euphemia couldn't help but worry as she watched Nunnali sweating under the scorching sun.

"It's okay, Sister Yufei. There are still so many people here who haven't received water and food."

"You're not the only one here, take a rest first."

"That's...ok."

Nunnally's visit to the refugee camp to express her condolences was not a spur of the moment decision. Instead, the Nunnally in this world had already arranged her itinerary before arriving, which also happened to avoid meeting Lelouch.

"Nunali, Yuffie, you've worked hard, come and take a rest."

At the military camp affiliated with the Earth Federation Army, Clovis had just returned from completing a patrol mission in the surrounding area with his team and happened to run into Nunnally and Euphemia.

"Brother Clovis, thank you for your hard work on patrol." Nunnally and Euphemia simultaneously gave Clovis a noble salute.

"Okay, Nunnally, Euphemia, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so restrained." Clovis waved his hand, telling Nunnally and Euphemia not to be like this and just to stay the same as before.

"Okay, Brother Clovis." Nunnally and Euphemia smiled sweetly. After coming to this world, everyone has changed, and the relationship between them... has also changed subtly.

"By the way, Nanali, how long will the condolence activities last?" Clovis asked.

"According to the schedule, we have three days left, and then we will leave here." Nanali replied.

"Three days..."

"Is there anything I can do for you, Brother Clovis?" Nanali asked curiously. Although she didn't seem impatient, she could sense his eagerness.

"Oh, I feel like I can't keep up." Clovis said with a sigh.

Clovis and the [Star Knights] he led had just joined the Promise Legion and were at the bottom of the strength scale. They had no experience in carrying out missions, and it was their first time encountering the chaotic world of Mobile Suit Gundam 30. It was naturally impossible to assign them a mission that was too dangerous right away, so Clovis and the [Star Knights] were assigned to the escort formation of Nunnally and Euphemia.

But even so, Clovis and his [Star Knights] still couldn't keep up with the high pace of the Promise Legion, especially since Jilkustan had just been attacked by hostile forces, and the refugee camp not far away was naturally in danger. Clovis and the [Star Knights] were beaten by these enemies and couldn't raise their heads for a while. If it weren't for the support of Shoko Hanesama, Canon Hanesama, Kenji Kondo, and Sakura Kaname from the world of Fafnir in the Sky, and the timely reinforcement of the [Twelve Zodiacs], they would have been wiped out.

Clovis was very confident before, and was not as good as Yang Hui and Cornelia, but in his own world, he also fought countless battles of all sizes. But after really coming into contact with the mission world, he realized that Yang Hui had never looked down on him, and that he was really just the one at the bottom.

"Brother Clovis..."

"It's okay, I just don't want to be such a coward anymore. By the way, Nunnally, Yuffie, are you really not going to meet Lelouch?" Clovis waved his hand and skipped the topic.

"..." Nunnally and Euphemia were silent. It wasn't because of the fused memories that they disliked or resented Lelouch, but... they didn't know how to face it for a moment.

"Brother Clovis, you... don't you have anything to worry about?" Euphemia asked Clovis hesitantly, because Clovis, like her, died at the hands of Lelouch in this world. "What's the big deal? It wasn't the Lelouch we know who did it." Clovis was older than Nunnally and Euphemia, and had experienced more than them, so he was naturally more open-minded and calmer than them.

"..."

Clovis certainly knew that Nunnally and Euphemia had not yet been able to completely get over it, but in this matter, no matter how much outsiders persuaded them, it would be useless. Only they could figure it out themselves. The moment they figured it out, that was when they truly grew up.

After all, the fused memories are another person's experiences, not entirely their own.

"Clovis...Prince, Princess Nunnally, Princess Euphemia..."

"Huh? Kondo, you're here. What prince or princess? Don't be so polite. Come and sit down." Clovis turned his head and saw Kondo Kenji and others who were wearing uniforms. Both their address and attitude were a bit restrained, which made Clovis a little unhappy.

"This... isn't good, is it? We..."

"What's wrong with that? We are all companions, come and sit down!" Clovis did not give Kenji Kondo a chance to refuse, and took his hand to sit down beside him. Seeing this, the others didn't know what to say, so they could only find a place to sit down and rest.

"Um... Your Highness..."

"Just call me by my name. I don't think Yuffie and Nunnally will mind."

"Um... then... Clovis..."

"That's right!"

In fact, Clovis also understood the thoughts of Kenji Kondo and others. They had been living in seclusion on the island before, and had not had much contact with the world outside the island. When the Promise Legion took them to the world, human civilization had been destroyed. This also made them curious and fearful of all new things, such as...

The prince and princess! They only exist in stories, but I didn't expect them to actually exist!
Although they were companions and the other party did not act superior, he subconsciously felt a little restrained when he thought that the other party was a real prince or princess.

"Emperor Clovis... Clovis, you are completely different from the royal family you imagined." Kenji Kondo complained.

"So, those are just stories, not real." Clovis laughed, "Look at Yang Hui, he is also a prince, doesn't he?"

"Uh..." XN
Everyone from the Farna world of the Sky raised their heads, began to imagine the image of Yang Hui as a prince, and shook their heads in unison.

"No."
“So don’t think of us as some high and mighty royal family. Such royal families either only exist in third-rate stories, or they are just psychopaths,” Clovis complained.

"Yes, royal etiquette has been a compulsory course for us since childhood," Euphemia added.

Hearing this, Clovis sighed in his heart. Nunnally and Euphemia were okay. They were born into royal families, but they were very gentle since childhood. Even to commoners, they would not put on royal airs. But he was different. He used to look down on commoners. The reason for such a big change, in addition to the experience and growth of managing a region outside, was the greatest influence and change on him by Yang Hui.

"Yeah, I see, Clovis, Nunnally, Euphemia."

"That's right. I have to thank you for what I did just now. Otherwise, we would have died here." Clovis patted Kenji Kondo's shoulder heavily and said.

"It's okay." Kenji Kondo scratched his hair a little embarrassedly. In terms of strength, the existence of [Excalibur Type Fafner] and SDP gave them powerful strength. In terms of experience, they would face Festum's attacks from time to time, so they still had sufficient experience in high-intensity combat.

"Compared to Ikki, Soushi, and Jonathan, we are still having it easy." said Kaname Sakura.

"Yes, I contacted Maya yesterday. Ikki, Minashiro and Mr. Jonathan are also traveling around the world and can only take a break on the road. Maya is also very busy studying with Ms. Yulin." Hanesama Shoko said a little disappointedly. Her boyfriend and good sisters are growing rapidly, only she is lagging behind.

"Don't be discouraged, Shoko." Hanesama Kanon gently comforted Hanesama Shoko, "The Chief of Staff and General Rebir took the pressure into consideration and gave us a chance to adapt. After a while, we will catch up with them."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll do my best."

"Drip drip..."

"Hmm?" Clovis's PAD rang. He picked it up and saw it was Lelouch. He was stunned for a moment before answering the call.
