"Where did this one called Cobatro Baggina come from? I can't find out anything about him at all." Lelouch was pacing back and forth in the room, acting a little irritable, "Frontal Do you have any clues, sir?"
"I have collected some information here." Xia took out a stack of things and handed it to Lelouch, "This man first emerged during the One-Year War and participated in many important battles. After the war, he seemed to disappear, but he actually joined The Prime Minister's Office plays a behind-the-scenes role, and now that the Titans is covering the sky, he may appear as the spokesperson of another force in the Federal Army. It is said that Captain Covatello is a man of great ingenuity, extraordinary ingenuity, deep scheming, and no last resort. We must guard against it.”
"I'm being targeted by troublesome people." Lu Luxiu flipped through the documents in his hands and fell into deep thought, and after a long while he said slowly, "With the people we recruited and the materials you supply, we can deal with Britannia's problems. It’s already very tight. If the Earth Federation Forces really want to do something, it makes sense in name, and we can’t support two fronts at all.”
"I have a different idea." Xia pushed on his sunglasses and said in a deep voice, "We are not Britannia's opponents in the first place. I don't think it is a bad thing for the federal army to join in. For us now, the water is getting worse and worse. it is good."
"Oh?" Lu Luxiu's eyes flashed, what a smart person he is, and he immediately understood the key after being mentioned a little, "You are right, the other party's original goal was the Titans, But the Titans are too large to act rashly on them, and choosing the Black Knights is just a way to find a breakthrough and take advantage of it."
"That's right." Char smiled slightly, "For us, Captain Covatro is not only not an enemy—"
"—On the contrary, it is a partner who can cooperate." Lelouch also smiled confidently, "As long as we can contact him, we can completely persuade him to perform a play with the Black Knights, or even brush each other's records over and over again. The Black Knights can make a name for themselves, and he can also be valued in the Federation, which is a win-win situation."
"You actually thought of this step?" Xia Ya looked surprised and a little unwilling, "I just vaguely feel that there is a possibility of cooperation, I haven't figured out how to use this, it's really amazing."
Lelouch turned his back to Xia and curled his lips in disdain, and when he turned around, a sincere smile was on his face: "Mr. It's just a little clever."
"Don't console me, I have self-knowledge, the future belongs to your young people." Xia waved his hand open-mindedly, "You can leave the matter of contacting Captain Covatro to me. I have accumulated some available channels over the years. ."
"Then I'll trouble you." Lelouch was not polite at all. "It is foreseeable that the Black Knights are about to usher in a big opportunity, and our ultimate goal has taken a big step forward."
"Lelouch, you are indeed one of the smartest people I have ever met. Maybe I shouldn't say this." Xia pretended to teach life experience, "but I hope you don't feel bad. After all, Shumu Suzaku is still a Knight of the Round Table in Britannia, and his feelings for Princess Euphemia are unusual."
"You don't need to say more, of course I understand." Lelouch's voice was extremely cold. "He is a very good source of intelligence. If necessary, I will even use him."
Xia Ya nodded in relief.
"Since the business is over, let's relax." Lelouch took out a chess set from under the table and put it on the table, confidently placing the black piece in front of him, "Mr. Not interested in accompany me to a game?"
Half an hour later, Xia Ya wiped the faint sweat on his forehead, reluctantly pushed down his king, and let out a long breath: "Give up."
The corners of Lelouch's mouth rose slightly, and he stretched out his hand to shake the opponent's hand as usual: "Mr. Frontal, you are enough to be proud of your ability to fight with me to this point. In my countless matches so far, only the only one You don't have to feel down when someone narrowly beats me."
With his eyes closed, Xia Ya could guess that it was Schneizer, but instead of asking, he kept sighing: "The future generations are terrible, the later generations are terrible. You are also the second person who has won against me so far, I lost. of convincing.”
"Mr. Fronto is indeed a master. I don't know who was the first to beat you?" Lelouch showed great interest. He has always regarded chess as evidence of his superior IQ, and it is impossible to see any master who is not his defeat.
"That's what I met on the Anaheim game battle platform a few years ago." Char slightly fell into memory, "I remember that the ID of that person is... Woodwater."
Saying goodbye to Xia, Lelouch quietly did the deduction in the room alone. As more and more forces join this chessboard, the complexity of the situation will increase exponentially, and even his wisdom will require a lot of brainpower.
"Once Covatro is gone, it's only a matter of time before the Titans enter the arena, and I lack the means to obtain the information of the Earth Federation Army. Frontal, do you think this will limit me?" Lelouch said to himself. He sneered, "But you can't think of it, I've already found a way to get in touch with Char Aznabu in exile."
After thinking about it, Lu Luxiu rearranged the chessboard and played with himself. If you can't find an opponent, you can only take yourself as your opponent. Invincible is so lonely.
"Fel Fronto, Char Aznabu, Covatro Bagina, Paptimas Siroc, Schneizer Britannia." His slender fingers swept across After passing the pieces, tap a piece every time you read a name, "You are all in my calculations."
He picked up the chariot named Shumu Suzaku and landed it heavily on the chessboard, and shouted sharply to the king named Charles Britannia: "Checkmate."
Originally, it was time to go back to see his sister after the game. At this time, Lelouch suddenly remembered another master that Xi Ya had mentioned, and suddenly felt a little itchy. He turned on the computer and skillfully logged into the Anaheim game battle platform. As a chess lover, he naturally has an account on the largest battle platform in the solar system, his level is not low, and his winning rate is even more terrifying.
He entered the ID of Woodwater in the player search, and was surprised to find that the other party was online, so he started a battle. The other party happily agreed, and also took the initiative to choose to hold the black in the back.
"You are so arrogant when you see my win rate?" Lelouch's eyes became extremely cold, "Pride comes at a price."
Half an hour later, Lelouch was stunned to see his king being checked to death, so shocked that he couldn't move, and even forgot to wipe the sweat on his forehead. The one named Woodwater quickly left the room, showing a state that he was currently—
"Playing backgammon in the novice zone?!" Lelouch shouted in disbelief, "It's ridiculous!"
…
"Ah, I lost again!" An Qi patted the table unhappily, "Ed, avenge me!"
"This is already a novice area, my Miss Friday." Ed has been sitting with An Qi for a long time. To be honest, his thighs are very sore, but he can't tell the truth or someone will fry again, "I'm dignified and dignified. The doctor has actually been reduced to the point where he is unparalleled in the backgammon novice area, and it's shameful to hear it out."
"Who knows this is your account if you don't tell me? What does Woodwater mean?" An Qi twisted her body restlessly, "Avenged me and wronged you? Dr. Lingos is amazing?"
"Hehe, my stack of certificates is higher than your European style." Ed sighed helplessly, took the mouse and chose to challenge again. The other side probably thought that he could abuse vegetables again, so he happily accepted.
The battle situation was so one-sided that it was a bit boring. An Qi just felt that the other side was so miserable that she couldn't even watch it anymore, so she took the initiative to change the topic: "Is that person very powerful just now?"
"It's amazing, don't you see that he has a complete victory record?" Ed clicked the mouse absently, "It's better than me."
"Hmph, you're proud of yourself." An Qi smiled proudly, "Ed, why are you so good?"
"This kind of game where all the rules can be digitized is too simple for me, it's just a calculation, and I was hung up and played by Alice." Ed casually dropped the mouse, "Win, here it is for you revenge."
"It's amazing!" An Qi raised her head and gave him a strong kiss on the face, "One more shot, this time I must win."
An unbearable pecking between chickens was staged in front of him, and what was even more frightening was that Friday was more veggies than the other side.
"Don't come down here, he'll have four in the next step." Seeing that An Qi was about to lose again, he couldn't help but point out for the sake of his account's win rate, "I'm surprised that you can understand chess. "
"I'm the princess, princess, do you understand?" An Qi protested loudly, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "But I only know the rules, and no one can do it."
"I'm sorry, I often forget this setting." Ed reached out and touched the girl's smooth hair, "But it does look a little more like a princess after the hair grows longer."
"What does it mean to be like a princess? Obviously it is!" An Qi quickly got up from Ed and ran to the other side of the room to open her luggage and search. "Don't believe me? You wait for me, don't turn around without my consent!"
After Ed took the mouse and quickly finished the game, the person who played chess with him just now came to challenge him again, but he decisively refused. He browsed the news for a while bored, until the sound of An Qi clapping his hands came from behind him.
Ed turned his chair around, then froze. In front of her, Princess Angelique was wearing a gorgeous blue-and-white low-cut dress, with white silk gloves covering her forearms, her legs wrapped in pure white stockings, and her feet on a pair of delicate high-heeled shoes. , the necklace hanging around her neck and the earrings on her ears add a touch of elegance to her.
An Qi twisted her skirt and bowed slightly: "Guian, Mr. Ed."
Ed is like a fish that has landed on the shore. His mouth is open and closed, but he doesn't know what to say. It takes a long time to say, "Why did you stuff this suit into Li?"
"Taoxiang bought this for me. She said that as a princess, she must prepare a dress like this." An Qi turned around as she spoke, and the skirt was slightly raised under the centrifugal force. I'm so embarrassed at everyone's face, I wonder if I might have a chance to wear it for you to see when I go out. How about Ed, does it look good?"
Ed nodded desperately, looking a little silly, and An Qi couldn't help but smile gracefully. The girl Lianbu gently moved in front of him, stretched out her right hand and brushed his cheek slightly, the silky touch of the glove made him shiver.
"There are still nearly two hours before the meeting with Ms. Haman." An Qi leaned down and said softly in his ear, "Your Highness the Princess has not enough IQ recently, can you educate her?"
The girl's dress had a very low opening, and the white flowers before her eyes hurt Ed's eyes. He swallowed hard, breathing hard enough to hear.
"Don't spoil your clothes." This was the last sentence he remembered.
So, unsurprisingly, the meeting with Haman was postponed.
"Let the President of the Supreme Council wait for an hour." Harman looked at him and sneered, "Lingus, it's yours."
"I'm not feeling well, please forgive me." Ed coughed awkwardly, "I'm really sorry."
"It's a lie to be unwell, you forgot that I'm NT, did something happen to lower your IQ?" Haman seemed to be in a good mood, and laughed when he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sincere, then forget it. , let's not take it as an example, after all, I also owe you a favor."
Haman, who was in a hurry to calm down the civil strife, was suddenly told that the culprit of the civil strife had already been taken over. With a single blow, PLANT was unexpectedly stable and united for a while.
Then Harman immediately launched the public opinion offensive that she is good at. Under the bombardment of the Internet navy, someone first came up with the slogan that all the speakers of PLANT had to die, and then she was praised as breaking the "Speaker's Curse of Death" The great man from heaven.
Then she took advantage of the general trend of public opinion to successfully launch a rectification movement in the government and the army, and with Ed's help, she arrested all the suspected two or five boys who had an impression of him, and replaced them with her own confidants. The combination of punches dazzled Ed.
"You saved PLANT from a civil war, I owe you a huge favor." Harman's voice was very sincere, "I accept all your conditions, and I will support you unconditionally when you need me."
"Thank you." Ed also bowed his head sincerely. Any words at this time are superfluous. Haman is a much higher-level NT than Char, so he naturally understands the weight of these two words.
"To be on the safe side, we need to set up a liaison on the moon, preferably someone we can trust. You can contact me immediately if you are in a hurry." Harman suggested, "Luna and Meiling, you choose one."
Without even thinking about it, Ed replied decisively, "Don't need all of it, can you change to a man?"
