Code Geass: Salvatia Intervention War

Chapter 4 *remake*

"Whatever they are," Kewell Soresi interjected, his tone sharp, "we need to focus on the crisis at hand. Our reputation, our very status as nobles, is at stake!"

Jeremiah nodded thoughtfully. "Have you seen General Bartley?"

"We're not sure, sir," came the uncertain response.

"Then find him," Jeremiah commanded, his voice cold. "Whether he's alive or not, I want confirmation. And if you fail to find him, your membership in this faction will be stripped permanently."

The Purist member, clearly shaken by the threat, immediately rose from his seat and hurried out of the room, his heart pounding.

"Since Prince Clovis's fate remains uncertain," Jeremiah continued, his tone now calculating, "this could be our opportunity to abolish the honorary Britannian system. But without confirmation of his survival, we need to ensure the Hi-TV Studio covers up our failure."

Kewell, his brow furrowing in concern, asked, "And how do we cover it up? What can we do to convince the public, to make them believe our story?"

Jeremiah tapped his chin thoughtfully, an idea slowly forming. Then, with a sly smile, he turned to Villetta. "Tell me, are there any survivors who made it back safely?"

"Yes," Villetta answered, her voice laced with confusion. "But why, Lord Jeremiah?"

Jeremiah's grin widened. "Hmm... Perhaps we can find a scapegoat, someone to win over the people and make them accept the abolition of the honorary Britannian system. And I already have the perfect candidate in mind."

Indonesia (Area 17), Britannian colonial control

The remaining Britannian forces in Area 17 were thrown into chaos as the Salvatian military launched a sudden and overwhelming invasion, striking their base in Borneo. With the help of Oracle AI, the Salvatians managed to hack into the communication systems, severing all lines of contact, ensuring the Britannians could not warn the Holy Britannian Empire of their impending doom.

Major Magistrate Jezalyn, a Neohuman, and Lieutenant General Crestfur, a Canine Kobold, were in charge of the operation, spreading their forces across the continent. Their mission was clear: destroy every Britannian military presence in the region and liberate the land. If an independent nation couldn't be established, a magistrate state would take its place, with Jezalyn promoted to High Magistrate to oversee Indonesia.

Mecha fighters and frames stormed across the islands, employing shock-and-awe tactics to crush the Britannian resistance. Astrayers, armed with XR-7 carbines, eliminated enemy Knightmare frames, while Mana Beam Blasters fired from MECS at enemy tanks and Knightmare frames. Swift Strikers hovered above the ground using anti-gravity engines, their Nebula Storm machine guns tearing into enemy vehicles. Thunder tanks unleashed powerful energy pulses at ground targets, while infantry—composed of marines, heavy troopers, and shock troopers—fired on sight, taking out any Britannian soldiers they encountered.

At the Britannian naval base, Fieldmarines launched a surprise attack, blasting apart navy ships with arcane heavy blasters from beneath the water's surface. Meanwhile, a squadron of Skykiller fighters engaged Britannian jet fighters and VTOL gunships, outmaneuvering them with ease and destroying them at breakneck speeds.

The Mecha divisions surrounded and neutralized the remaining defenses, capturing the naval base and declaring it their own. The surviving Britannian soldiers were taken to a POW facility where they were put to hard labor. Those who resisted or attempted to escape were executed on the spot, sending a clear message to the remaining Britannians: comply or face swift retribution.
