Chapter 209 Durandal wants to bring down Lux

Reputation is an intangible and intangible thing.

It may seem useless at ordinary times, but it can be used at special times and occasions.

Reputation will turn into an invisible sword, destroying everything a person has strived for all his life.

Looking at the three leaders of PLANT in the original world line.

Kulain is smart, but unfortunately he is soft-hearted, while Patrick only knows how to be tough and seems to lack intelligence.

Only the third speaker, Durandal, used a moderate combination of hard and soft tactics and successfully integrated the parliament and Zaft, two organizations that did not get along with each other.

And then he almost led the Adjuster to the top of the world.

Therefore, the current situation seems to be a little bit wrong.

He was in a dormant state, but he was eager to take action and step onto the world stage as soon as possible.

Try to usurp as much power as possible before things get worse.

It is also good to make more preparations for the future.

The first target he chose was Lux.

In fact, Durandal originally wanted to meet Lux, just like during the Second World War.

Why did he create a fake Lux at that time?

Why must we get Aslan back?
It’s nothing but reputation and people’s hearts.

In fact, as long as you are careful enough, you will find it, whether now or in the future.

There are always two major forces that dominate the plant, namely the Kulain faction and the Sara faction.

In other words, even if the founders of the two major factions are gone, the remaining influence can still benefit people endlessly.

Didn’t you see it?

Lacus has made it clear that she is together with Kira, but she still wants to use various means to make Athrun stand on her side.

What for?
Aren't you just thinking about the power of the Sarah faction in Plant?

And if Aslan cannot integrate the power of the Sara faction, then the Kulain faction to which Lacus belongs will have the upper hand on PLANT.

So when Durandal learned about the satellite opera house incident, he discovered that he was not the only one secretly spying on the power of the Kulain faction.

And it is very likely that I will be better than now, when I still have some popularity but can only dominate everything in a small range.

In order to eliminate possible hidden worries, the Kulain faction is very likely to join forces with another force.

After watching for a while, he decisively chose to instruct Nigel to discredit Lux, the current flag bearer of the Kulain faction.

He then replaced Lux's position and took over the potential power of the Kulain faction among the Adjusters.

At the same time, he also had a plan to try to extend his tentacles into the Sara faction through Aslan.

So this led to the situation where everyone on the Zhulong secretly came to the PLANT mainland.

Wang Hu and the people he selected to carry out the mission successfully entered the interior of the colonial satellite with the help of an insider.

Not to mention that there is not a single one among this group of people who is truly stupid, even if they are truly stupid.

Take a look at the atmosphere inside the satellite and walk around in the satellite casually.

Then CC went out and asked some passers-by.

"Are you sure that Lacus Kulain is really as popular as you say?"

"There's a lot of negative information about her flying around this satellite right now."

"Those who sell out their country, those who have immoral private lives, those who have bad character, all kinds of them are really eye-opening."

"To be honest, if you hadn't told me in advance what kind of person that lady was, I would have almost thought she was a villain just by hearing the news."

CC, who had green hair and a pretty face, asked.

I have to say that her looks are very good even among the group of handsome men and beautiful women who are adjusters.

So when she went to inquire about intelligence, she actually got a lot of useful information.

"Someone wants to attack Lux."

No one paid attention to CC's question, and everyone was listening to Lelouch's analysis.

"From the information CC just got, combined with the intelligence we got before, it is very likely that the mastermind is this person called Durandal."

He deduced the truth directly from a lot of confusing information.

It was obvious that among the information CC brought back, Durandal was the least noticeable one.

But Lelouch was certain that Durandal was the mastermind behind it.

"Why? This man named Durandal seems to be a neutral party."

"Compared to the Durandal you mentioned, I think it's more convincing that it was Chairman Patrick who took action."

Staring at Wang Hu's thoughtful look, and then looking at CC who was angry because no one paid attention to him, Mu sang a different tune.

Glancing at the blond Mu, Lelouch explained with rare patience.

"Patrick wouldn't do such a thing if he really wanted to resort to such underhanded means."

"He should have done it after the Freedom Gundam was taken away by Kira."

"Although Mr. Kulain died at the hands of the enemy, important members of the Kulain faction in PLANT were also imprisoned."

"But Patrick has been focusing on the charge of treason from the beginning to the end."

"And now? There are all kinds of negative information about Lux. It's obvious that they are just trying to discredit Lux."

"The dark material about the Kulain faction is still about the so-called treason."

"We can't just blame this guy called Durandal. This method is too despicable." Mu shook his head, as if he still felt that Lelouch's explanation was far-fetched.

"Whoever benefits is the most suspicious. Besides, this method is normal. You in the Atlantic Federation also do this."

Lelouch's tone was full of determination.

"Being neutral means having no stance, which also means that he can absorb nutrition from either side at any time."

"Didn't you notice? The ideas promoted by Durandal cleverly took the essence of both the Kulain faction and the Sara faction."

"As Lux's personal reputation continues to decline, all important members of the Kulain faction are imprisoned."

"Many former supporters of the Kulain faction are now turning to the banner of Durandal."

"At the same time, his limited support for Chairman Patrick has won the favor of some of the less radical former Sara supporters."

"I believe that if we give him a little more time, we will soon see a new chess player take the stage."

Lelouch paused at this point, there was one thing he didn't explain.

Just by looking at Durandal's appearance, one can see his gentle and elegant demeanor, as if nothing can stop him and everything is under his control.

He really looks like his second brother Shunazel in his own world. Maybe they are just naturally incompatible.

Lelouch wanted very much to step on Durandal's face, even though he was not the mastermind behind the smear campaign against Lacus this time.

Lelouch also wanted to find an opportunity to teach this guy a lesson.

"Oh, I see. So you understand?"

Touching his chin, Mu said to CC.

"Ok?"

Wang Hu was still thinking about something when he heard what Mu said to CC and looked at Mu's expression.

Wang Hu almost thought that Mu had other thoughts about CC.

"Anyway, let's act according to the predetermined plan."

After looking Mu up and down and suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wang Hu spoke.

"Kira, Li Chengzhi, Bakilulu and others are on the Zhulong to provide support. Mu, Lelouch, CC, Zhang Hong and Liu Peiqiang are here this time."

"The five of you go meet Lux according to the contact information I gave you."

"What about you?"

Mu and his companions were stunned for a moment and then asked, didn’t we agree on this before we came?

The six of us went together to pick up Lux, why do you want to act alone when the time comes?

"I want to meet Mr. Durandal."

Without choosing to hide it, Wang Hu directly said what he was going to do.

Mainly because he saw the gleam in Lelouch's eyes, Wang Hu was very worried if he didn't tell the truth.

I'm afraid that this guy, who has absolute trust in his own sister and Suzaku and doesn't trust anyone else, might do something weird.

"Dirandal."

Little did he know that Wang Hu was indeed familiar with each of the characters, but everyone had his own thoughts.

Especially when this person comes to another world, his thoughts and behavior will be greatly different.

Staring at Wang Hu's departing figure, Lelouch did not go to meet Lacus honestly as Wang Hu had expected, or at most he would just make a little more noise.

He immediately thought of using Wang Hu to punish Durandal.

Anyway, the reason why we came here this time was to have a big go at PLANT.

In that case, there's nothing wrong with just picking grass and hunting rabbits and fulfilling a wish of yours at the same time.

Who said that Durandal's temperament is so similar to that of his second brother?
Besides, I'm just venting my anger for your partner, Wang Hu, Lux.

"What are you looking at?"

When Wang Hu walked a long way away, he hailed a taxi and disappeared from the sight of several people.

Zhang Peng saw Lelouch standing there, so he kindly came over and asked.

"Are you worried about that guy Wang Hu?"

Zhang Peng said with a smile, "I still remember how that guy named Wang Hu turned the tide in my own ball-breaking world."

"That guy is very powerful. Even if several of us get into trouble, nothing will happen to him."

"Thank you."

Hearing this, he looked up at the silly-looking Zhang Peng, then stared at the baby-faced man named Liu Peiqiang behind him.

Lelouch said after giving a cold thank you.

"Nothing can happen while I'm here, as long as you follow my instructions."

"I guarantee that no one will lose a single hair in this operation."

"Oh."

Mu became interested and stared at Lelouch with an inquiring look.

He was very curious about the source of the confidence of this young man who was even more arrogant than Wang Hu and where Wang Hu found this young man.

Before the mission was carried out, he noticed that Wang Hu's attitude towards the young man was very unusual.

Normally, with Wang Hu's intelligence, he would be the one to order others to do things, but this time the mission started from the very beginning.

Wang Hu gave up the dominant position intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was letting the young man in front of him take the lead.
