"Lord Shadow, what are your conditions?"
Lelouch's voice regained its composure. He understood that the most important thing now was to understand the other party's intentions.
Shangguan Wen smiled slightly, his eyes sweeping over everyone present:
"It's simple. When I conquer your world, I will need a governor to manage your planet. You are a candidate, and so is your brother, Schneizel EL Britannia.
I will help you realize your respective wishes - Lelouch, I will heal Nunnally and help you get revenge. As for Cornelia and Euphemia, they will naturally come to me."
Chapter 133: 40 Bunitania Frontline Troops Are Annihilated
"You let Yuffie go, do whatever you want to me."
How could Cornelia not know what kind of people the men of the Brunitania army were like in the colonies? Sometimes she would indulge in such crimes to deter resistance from the colonies. She just didn't expect that the situation would change and it would be her turn today.
How could Euphemia let her sister who had always protected her suffer such humiliation? She took the initiative to unbutton herself, revealing her white skin and said:
"Sister, I can take your place, Lord Shadow. I'm younger here."
Lelouch beside him was also anxious. He didn't want his beautiful white moonlight to be ruined by others, but on the other hand, he was also in trouble. His sister was ill and needed his treatment. When he was about to say something, Nunnally beside him bravely stood up and said:
"Lord Shadow, my brother and I can work hard for you. Please let Sister Cornelia and Sister Euphemia go."
CC on the side also felt reluctant. In some ways, she had watched Cornelia and Euphemia grow up, but because of the contract, she had to obey Shangguan Wen physically and mentally and could not have any thoughts or actions that went against his will.
At this time, Alpha stood up and said:
"My Lord, are you planning to form a marriage alliance to consolidate your control over the other world?"
To some extent, this gave Euphemia and Cornelia a way out. A political marriage was better than enjoying the spoils of war, at least literally.
Shangguan Wen rolled his eyes at Alpha in anger. He could see what Alpha was up to, but he still dashed their hopes.
"Huh? A marriage? Just to that bunny-haired emperor's mere Bnitania? Alpha, what are you thinking?"
Cornelia was immediately furious. She was proud of her country and its powerful army. How could she tolerate being humiliated by the natives of another world whom she looked down upon in her heart, and this was brought about by the other party's tricks?
"How could I, the mighty Bnitania, with millions of soldiers, tanks, chariots, and countless KMF Sunlanders, lose to you? If you hadn't used magic to trick me, you would have lost long ago."
"Shadow Garden will not be a match for Bnitania!"
Alpha and others present couldn't help but glare at Cornelia. Why was this defeated general showing off? If Shangguan Wen hadn't been here, he would have been torn into pieces.
A murderous look flashed across Shangguan Wen's eyes before he returned to his previous calm demeanor, saying playfully:
"Are you counting on the army entering here through the Black Rose? Indeed, there are over 40 of them. Other countries on the continent wouldn't be able to stop the invasion of Brunitania. But facing me, I don't mind letting you know the gap between your personal combat power and the military of a low-tech world. Watch carefully with your eyes and listen carefully."
Shangguan Wen turned on his magic phone, turned on the projector, dialed Victor's number, and contacted:
"Etta, Victor, how is the network signal and TV screen intrusion in the other world?"
Victor's figure appeared on the mobile phone projection. The layman watched the excitement, while the expert saw the doorway. In just a few seconds, Cornelia discovered that the technology of the other world had surpassed the Bunitanian Empire to some extent.
"It's done, and we can now start syncing. My Lord, please show your strength and let those idiots know the difference!"
"Thanks for your hard work"
Soon, Shangguan Wen, wearing a hood and with his face invisible, was projected to another world behind the Black Rose Gate, including all electronic devices and the sky in Neon, the EU, the Chinese Federation and other countries.
"Hello, everyone from the other world. I am Shadow, the leader of Shadow Garden. Princess Cornelia and Euphemia of the Bnitania Empire, Nunnally, and Prince Lelouch have become my captives."
A drone rose up beside Shangguan Wen and aimed its camera at the four of them.
The other world was in an uproar. The name of the War Princess Cornelia was well-known in their world, but they did not expect that they would become prisoners of the other world.
"Now, Cornelia said that Bunitania has millions of brave soldiers and countless brave generals. The mere [Shadow Garden] is no match for Bunitania. Since Cornelia said so, I will also show you what the difference in power is."
"The first thing to deal with is the 40 Brunitanian troops who invaded first."
The camera turned again and came to the sky above the front-line base of the invasion of the other world in Bnitania.
Shangguan Wen also appeared here at the same time, and ignoring the guns raised by the surrounding Brunitanians, he slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun.
"Now, let everyone from the other world see the power of shadow! Appear, Shadow Army!"
As Shangguan Wen finished speaking, the sky seemed to be torn open, and countless black shadows emerged from the void. They were in human form, and some were in animal form. Some of them held weapons, and some had nothing. They were like a legion walking out of the abyss, and they surrounded the Brunitanians' front-line base in an instant.
This is the Shadow Legion that Shangguan Wen is proud of, having mastered the divine weapon [Black Blade Dog God]. Not only are they equipped with weapons that are beyond their time, they also possess extraordinary combat capabilities.
The soldiers of Bunitania looked at each other, their horror evident in their expressions.
"kill!"
As the first screams rang out, the shadow legions launched a frenzied slaughter at the nearby Bnitanian troops. Their guns and artillery seemed powerless before these mysterious shadows, as fragile as children's toys. The shadow legions' movements were ghostly, swift and precise, each one a deadly threat.
The screen switched again to electronic devices around the world. People in the other world witnessed this shocking scene and were all dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a powerful and mysterious army in the other world, and it was even more difficult to imagine that such a force actually belonged to an organization called [Shadow Garden].
"See it? This is the power of shadow!" Shangguan Wen's voice echoed in everyone's ears, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
"Bunitania's so-called millions of soldiers are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter before the Shadow Legion. Now, Princess Cornelia, are you willing to reassess the strength of your empire?"
The camera turns to the captured Cornelia, her face pale. These dead people were all soldiers who had fought for the empire for many years. They died in a different world without dignity and honor. As the commander, she was to blame. Now a magic prop (not sure if it was a drone) was flying. For the dignity of the empire, she still maintained her pride as a princess.
"Shadow, your power is indeed beyond my imagination, but the will of Bunitania will not yield. Our royal family, nobles, soldiers, and common people will fight to the last man for the glory of our country."
Shangguan Wen smiled slightly, seemingly not surprised by Cornelia's answer.
"Very good, you have courage and determination. Since you are so persistent, I will continue to demonstrate it to you."
With a wave of Shangguan Wen's hand gesture, the Shadow Legion began a more fierce offensive. The front-line base of Bunitania, the Bunitanians and the cannon fodder Neons, a total of 40 people, were reduced to ruins in just a few minutes, and all this was witnessed in real time by audiences around the world.
"Remember, this is just the beginning."
Shangguan Wen's voice sounded again, with a hint of warning.
"You can invade my world, and similarly, I will invade your world, Cornelia. I have specially left a few survivors for you. You can take them back to Brunitania. I don't mind using the power of technology to teach you fools a good lesson!"
Chapter 134: Bunitania's Response
【Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion】world.
The people of Bnitania were dumbfounded. Not only Bnitania, but people all over the world were dumbfounded. It was the first time they had seen the extraordinary power of a person who could kill 40 soldiers by himself. In their impression, only myths could do this. Who would dare to shoot such a movie in reality? It could only be a movie or a middle school novel.
There were many people with strong minds among them. They quickly adjusted their mindsets and looked at Shangguan Wen, who was broadcasting live, with excitement, curiosity, desire, and even greed. From the video just played, they found birds, wolves, dragons, humanoids, etc. constructed from shadows, which could enter and exit from the shadows. Whether it was used for assassination, eavesdropping on intelligence, or large-scale army battles, this short demonstration opened up the minds of many people in the world of "Code Geass".
Especially when they heard that Shangguan Wen was going to invade this world, there was a great panic, especially among the small countries. They were already worried about being colonized by Brunitania, and now there were invaders from another world. How could they survive?
In the palace of the Bunitanian Empire, the emperor and high-ranking officials held an emergency meeting. Faced with unprecedented threats, they had to temporarily put aside their internal struggles and discuss countermeasures together.
Charles with the egg-curled hair looked at the ministers and children below who were paying him respectful respects. He raised his hand to signal for silence, moistened his throat, and spoke:
"My dear ministers, you must all be aware that the declaration of war from the alien world has already hit me. My beloved daughters Cornelia, Euphemia, and Nunnally, as well as my son Lelouch, have been captured and taken to another world. The invasion is imminent. If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them. I am not a tyrant who cannot tolerate advice. Odysseus, you are my eldest son, so you speak first."
Odysseus V. Bnitania got his father's permission and took the initiative to express his thoughts:
"Father, my Lords, my brothers and sisters, this time the Empire must continue the war. When the Empire colonized other regions, it never gave up halfway. The same is true for the aliens. Especially when they think that our Brunitania army is so vulnerable, they want to invade us."
The royal nobles present all nodded in tacit agreement. The good life that Brunitania enjoyed today was achieved through endless colonial wars and plundering of other countries' manpower and material resources. If they could do it on the first day, others could naturally do it on the fifteenth day as well.
Xunaizel also stood up to support his brother. Shangguan Wen's display of power made him, who originally had no desire, suddenly thirsty for it. He had also dreamed of becoming a mage before.
Guinevere Do Britannia said:
"But what about Cornelia?"
As the most capable of the princesses, Cornelia is very prestigious in the army. As the emperor's heir, the eldest princess naturally does not want her to come back, or it would be best if she comes back with a stain.
Which of the old foxes present didn't know about Guinevere's little thoughts? Those who knew it well didn't mention it. Wouldn't that be an slap in the face of the military and the emperor?
Charles, with a gloomy face and curly hair, glared at his eldest daughter and said in a deep voice:
"If I can trade Cornelia back, then I will. If not, then I will form a political marriage with Shadow."
Everyone started talking quietly. They didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel. He would sell Cornelia, who had worked like a slave for him for many years. But when they thought about the fantastic power in the other world, and maybe even the secret medicine for immortality or prolonging life, they would be tempted. No one wanted to die, especially the rich, powerful and elderly people.
Speaking of marriage, Schneizel wanted a solution that could be achieved without bloodshed, regardless of success or failure.
"Speaking of marriage, Father, I implore you to allow my brother to marry Jiang Lihua of the Chinese Federation. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will become a living target to attract the Shadow's attack."
The Black Rose Gate is located in the outskirts of Tokyo in District 11. The closest continent to District 11 is the Chinese Federation. It would be best if this potential enemy could be used as a scapegoat.
Charles with curly hair showed an expression of understanding. His eldest son's suggestion was very good.
"Schneizel, your suggestion is excellent. The Chinese Federation is currently controlled by a group of eunuchs, led by Gao Hai. They are greedy and lustful, a bunch of dead bones in a graveyard, using money to destroy them. Whatever they lose now, I will make them spit out in the future!"

Odysseus looked at his brother deeply. Although he had not married openly, he already had illegitimate children. On the one hand, he did not give the girl a legal status to keep her hanging. On the other hand, he was worried that if he failed to compete for the throne, he would leave a way out for his bloodline. He did not expect Schneizel to do such a thing.
Schneizel lowered his head slightly, a gleam in his eyes. He knew very well that his brother Odysseus was a man of deep thoughts. Don't be fooled by his performance. To be able to get out of such a complicated situation in Bnitania, he must have some ability.
Since his proposal was approved, it meant that this move had been initially made. He continued:
..0 0
"Your Majesty is wise. I have another suggestion. If we can successfully form a marriage alliance with the Chinese Federation, not only will we be able to serve as bait to attract the Shadow's attention, but we can also gain a deeper understanding of the Chinese Federation's internal affairs, paving the way for possible future cooperation or confrontation. At the same time, we can support the cannon fodder in Area 11, promising them greater autonomy and resources if they contribute to this war to eliminate the alien invaders. This way, we can reduce the Empire's losses and increase the Shadow's enemies."
Charles nodded in agreement. His eldest son was indeed capable. If it weren't for his pursuit, he would be the most suitable heir to the throne.
"This plan is brilliant. It can both divert the Shadow's intrusion's target and test the outside world's reaction. It really kills two birds with one stone."
"Very well, Schneizel. I am greatly pleased with your wisdom and strategy. I will leave this matter entirely to you. Ensure that every step is cautious and effective. As for Jiang Lihua, if she can be married to Odysseus, that would be best. If not, she must remain a pawn in our hands, at my disposal."
Schneizel bowed respectfully:
"As you command, Father. I will do my utmost to live up to your trust."
Then he turned to Odysseus and said:
"Brother, please don't blame me for taking the initiative in your marriage."
"No, no, Jiang Lihua is worthy of me."
Chapter 135
The blood-stained Andreas Dalton and dozens of Brunitania soldiers who had survived were brought before Cornelia and the other three.
"Your Highness Cornelia, Your Highness Euphemia, are you all right? Thief..."
Pfft!
The invisible pressure made Andreas Dalton and the survivors who managed to survive kneel on the ground.
Cornelia and the others looked over and saw a white-haired orc named Tu Shanxue with nine tails, casting a dark red magic circle with his hands.
"Shut up! If it weren't for my Lord keeping you around, you wouldn't be alive today."
Cornelia shook her head at her teacher Andreas, signaling him not to speak.
"Cornelia, the KMF Sunderland and the people you need are already prepared for you. When you return to the Brunitania army, don't lose too badly."
Cornelia gritted her teeth. If she could kill Shangguan Wen, she would have shot him to death.
"Euffi, Lelouch, Nunnally, I..."
Euphemia took the initiative to step forward and took her sister's hand. There were calluses on her hands, which she did not have. Euphemia was gentle and kind, but she was not a fool. In addition to her mother's help, she was able to live a stable life in the palace because of her sister's fighting on the front line. Now it was her time to show her value.
"Sister Cornelia, you and Mr. Dalton leave safely first. As children of the royal family, there will be a similar day after all. This time it's my turn. Lelouch and Nunnally are here too. Don't worry, we will take care of ourselves."
Nunnally came over in a wheelchair. Although she couldn't see her two sisters' expressions, she could sense the tension in the air. She smiled forcefully and comforted them.
"Sister Cornelia, my brother and I are here to take good care of Sister Euphemia, please rest assured."
After learning the truth, Lelouch no longer held any hostility towards Cornelia. He stepped forward and instructed:
"Sister Cornelia, when you return to Bnitania, be careful of the hidden arrows from behind. You may be a glorious war princess, but you have also offended many people. They will not let you go if they get the chance to take advantage of your misfortune."
"Thank you, Lelouch. I'll leave Euphemia and Nunnally in your care!"
After Cornelia finished speaking, she decisively turned around and left, taking the survivors with her. Shangguan Wen considerately forced them to be teleported to the military base that had just been transformed.
Looking at the sea of shattered limbs and blood before her, Cornelia suppressed her nausea and took the initiative to go to a KMF Sunderland with less blood on it and said to the survivors led by Andreas Dalton:
"Those who can drive a KMF can take an unmanned vehicle, and those who can't can take an armored vehicle. Remember, we must avenge today's humiliation."
After that, he started the KMF Sunderland and drove towards District 11, Tokyo.
Andreas Dalton activated KMF and looked around at the supplies that Brunitania had painstakingly prepared for a month to supply 1 troops with. He felt distressed and couldn't help but say:
"Your Highness, there are still a lot of usable military supplies here. If that shadow were to seize and use them, it would cause considerable trouble to our army."
