When Lu Ming returned to the camp, he could clearly feel that Lelouch's attitude was much more friendly. Obviously, Zhuque, who rushed back to the camp first, said to him.

However, Lu Ming didn't care. He nodded gently to the two people who were looking at it, then returned to his position and lay down.

Just as he was about to go to bed, Lelouch suddenly leaned over, squatted beside him and said in a low voice: "Aren't you going to tell me? Your origin."

Lu Ming glanced at him in surprise.

"Didn't it meant that we would not interfere with each other tomorrow? If this happens, there seems to be no need to ask this question."

"Because we need your strength." Lelouch spoke seriously, "Suku and Nanali both said you can trust, and we have saved you."

"Is this a favor to repay you?"

"No, it's just a fair deal!"

Lu Ming smiled lightly, turned over with interest, and turned to look at Lelouch's serious little face.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

Lelouch hesitated for a moment, as if he had some concerns.

"If you can't even be honest at all, then the transaction will only end here. As for your life-saving grace, I will find a way to repay it in the future."

"etc!"

Lelouch grabbed Lu Ming's body that wanted to turn back.

"Okay, let's not hide it. We need to pass through a war zone in a few days. It's hard to ensure Nanali's safety just by me and Suzaku."

"Originally, we planned to go around, but it would delay more time, and there are too many unknown factors."

Lu Ming nodded understandingly and said, "Why did your attitude change so quickly? Is it because of your sister?"

"So your agreement?" Lelouch looked at Lu Ming nervously.

"Yeah, no problem."

Although this does not fit his initial plan to stay away from the protagonist group, considering that they may need to rely on their power in the future, it may be better to invest in it in advance.

"Then let's just say that." Lelouch breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up and left impatiently.

Perhaps it was the first time he asked someone to ask for help. After only a few words, he felt that his forehead had started to sweat.

No words all night.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Nanali's surprise voice echoed in the camp.

"Really? Can Brother Lu Ming really go with us? That's great."

"It's just temporary. After all, it's too dangerous for you group of children to act." Lu Ming touched Nanali's head and chuckled softly.

Looking at the other person's expression as cute as a kitten, Lu Ming's mood instantly improved, and then he felt a chill on his back.

Turning around, Lelouch, who was just packing things, was staring at him with a bad look on his face.

Well, Brother Meikong was jealous... Under Lelouch's death gaze, Lu Ming hurriedly took his hand back.

“Is there a war going on there?”

A rumbling sound rang out from afar, and Lu Ming looked in which direction he was in time, trying to change the topic.

Lelouch snorted coldly, not continuing to care. He also looked there, a hint of solemnity appeared on his face.

"That's right, it's also the place we'll cross in a few days. The war will start every day at dawn and will continue until the afternoon."

Lu Ming touched his chin, squinted his eyes and listened for a moment, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "If I heard it right, is the sound of gunfire getting closer?"

Lelouch's expression changed, "Are you sure you heard it wrong?"

"It's true, I heard it too." Nanali said nervously that her hearing was better than that of ordinary people and could detect subtle changes.

If it were Lu Ming, Lelouch would still be suspicious, but if it were Nanali, he would no longer hesitate and shouted anxiously at Suzaku who was concentrating on cooking breakfast.

"Come with us!"

Lelouch spoke to Lu Ming, then picked up Nanali and ran outside.

In front, Zhuque was carefully opening the way, while Lu Ming followed silently.

Several people walked past the large urban ruins, with gun marks and black and gray on the ground and walls, and occasionally a few broken corpses could be seen.

"This city is completely dead."

Lu Ming looked at Lelouch and Zhuque quietly. Their faces were calm and unaffected. It seemed that they had become accustomed to everything in front of them.

More than ten minutes later, when the sound of artillery fire was close, the four of them had already hid in a ruined underground garage.

"It seems you have been prepared for a long time." Lu Ming watched as the few people skillfully took out some supplies from the corner.

"Of course, it was my brother who said that once you arrive at a new place, you must be foolproof." Nanali sat on the stone covered with cloth and showed a sweet smile.

"Is that true? It's his style."

"Hey, can't you help? If you don't help, you have to find out the situation outside." Lelouch said dissatisfiedly, "If the war starts here, we will have to hide here for at least a few days!"

"Lelouch, Brother Lu Ming's injury has not healed yet." Zhuque whispered to remind him.

Such a gunshot wound would have to take a few days to recover even if he had a gunshot wound, let alone others.

"It's okay, my injury is nothing serious." Lu Ming waved his hand and walked outside.

He also wanted to see the power of the main weapon of war in this world - the Nightmare Mecha.

......

Outside the city.

Two armies were fighting fiercely, and gunpowders and fire filled the vast wasteland. Countless stray bullets cut through the sky, leaving deep pits on the ground.

"We can't continue like this. We immediately retreat into the ruins of the city and fight with the help of the buildings!" As the commander, Fujido Jingshiro gave the order with a serious expression.

In the empty field, facing a force that is several times higher than one's own side, it is no longer possible to solve the problem with simple personal courage.

The most important thing is...

He looked up at the sky in the distance, and small transport aircraft were approaching quickly, carrying the latest war weapon of the Bunitanian Empire - the Nightmare Mecha. With its powerful maneuverability and firepower equipment, it was invincible on the battlefield.

"Asakhina, Chiba, Xianbo, and Fubu, proceed as planned and prepare for attack!"

"I understand!" The four of them responded in unison on the radio.

Fujido's narrow eyes stared at the enemy's pursuit of troops: "Success or failure is here!"

"Hahahaha, this is the legendary last hope of Japan, Is Fujido of Miracle? Isn't it that I am chasing like a stray dog!" Earl Jagris sat upright in the land warship at the headquarters and laughed wildly.

"Sir, His Majesty the Emperor has changed this place to '11th District'." The General Staff Officer whispered.

"Ahem, that's right. I just don't know that Your Majesty will send that prince to govern the place. When I get this guy's head, I should be able to exchange for a good military merit."

Even though he repeatedly reminded himself to restrain himself, Jegris could not control the smile on his face when he remembered the honors he could receive later.

"Hurry up, order the troops to advance at full speed, and let all the mecha troops be dispatched!"

"Don't you need to leave a reserve team?" a staff officer asked in a low voice.
