Air - Suzaku Kururugi
❝ It's behind me... just like that! ❞ Suzaku expresses his surprise upon seeing a Nazgul flicker out of his line of sight to only reappear behind the Albion. Warning alerts went off in the cockpit as the Knightmare's shoulder was being met with a blade. Even so, he reinforced his resolve, figuring it was better to fight back against this somehow than to let that ever lingering command to live fully control him.
❝ Let's see if you can withstand this! ❞ The knight general of Britannia exclaimed, seeing that the Nazgul's blade was still stabbed into the Lancelot Albion. Adjusting the Energy Wing's limitations, the mech began to pick up speed, and soon, spinning around with steadily increasing momentum. It would be an impossible stretch to say that it would stay on him for this long, so eventually something had to come out of this. Best case scenario, he was banking on this Nazgul to be forced off of him, which would open up the opportunity to practically spinkick it with the mech's current momentum back to the enemy forces. Worst case scenario, however, that would be up to that one command in his nervous system...

Land - Lelouch vi Britannia
The emperor didn't seem to be shaken up by the various intercom feeds coming into his Knightmare's cockpit from his own forces. The sounds of soldiers on the brunt of the front lines giving it their all before communication was crudely cut off. There wasn't much to be done about that. This was the first major conflict that the Britannian forces have participated in, much the same for everyone else. So it wasn't like he would've predicted or even anticipated a gambit from the enemy side to take its course. The same went for them not knowing what Lelouch intended by specifically placing his forces in this formation.
As crude as it sounded, it was like a constantly changing chessboard with more unique pieces at play.
So, he saw it appropriate to twist this game to the best of his ability.
❝ C3 and V6, stop your advancements. As the furthest left and right wings of the formation, rendezvous with each other and enact the measures as we've planned. ❞
❝❝ YES, YOUR MAJESTY! ❞❞ Just like he commanded, the furthest set of military mechs from both ends of the formation began to move to regroup, making that crescent formation into a circle from the looks of it.
❝ Z1 and Y5, continue to advance to the initial route given. Stand your ground and don't let up. ❞
Another unified response from his forces that made up the outline of the now circle formation, which soon broke away and speeding up their advancement to the point where that they would soon pass through the designated forces moving to meet up.
This only left himself and the few rearguard forces at his side. With this, Lelouch figured to give one more order before letting this play out.
❝ A2 and X4 squadrons on me. Presume a singular wedge formation around me. Advance fast enough that we make it through in-between the regrouping forces from squadrons C3 and V6. Prepare to switch on overdrive of your Knightmares at my signal. That is a direct order from your emperor! ❞ Lelouch commanded over their intercoms, and soon got that affirmative response from his loyal rearguard forces.
From any standpoint, this seemed like an oddly aggressive charge from the forces of Britannia. Much like a... suicide charge, as it continued and continued. A race against time to protect their comrade ruler, Queen Zelda. Nearing the soon rejoining forces of C3 and V6, Lelouch piloted the Shinkiro Knightmare near Zelda's vicinity, having the accompanying rearguard Knightmares aiming their firearm sights on the horsemen and Asha'man from the Caemlyn forces.
A sudden appearance of hexagonal energy shields were generated from the mech, soon wrapping around himself and Zelda for what was about to happen next.
❝ Perfect. This will do... ❞ He mused to himself before turning on his mech's loud speaker to let it be known to those near him. ❝ Go ahead, show me what course of action will be done from this point onward! Those of the Alliance, watch carefully! Those of the Rebellion, heed my words! ❞
As he spoke, much like a vocal signal, the Knightmares that made up forces C3 and V6 started the light up and sparking violently, and immediately started to close distance toward the enemy frontlines.
❝ One must not be afraid to take sacrifices here and there as long as the main goal is met. ❞ As evident as the sparking Knightmares were overloading their Sakuradite reserves, the pilots of these mechs would eject out via their cockpits emergency escape pod, ejecting far from the scene of battle.
❝ And as the ruler of Britannia, I must be able to take these sacrifices in order to lead my people and my allies to prosperity... so, I, Lelouch vi Britannia, shall showcase my empire's might! ❞
Right as it was inevitable that the abandoned overloading Knightmares were prone to self-destructing at dangerous closeness to the enemy frontlines, Lelouch disabled a small portion of the projected energy shields in front of the Shinkiro mech, and with a single tap on the console after simultaneous preparation... a powerful laser beam was shot from the Shinkiro's revealed chest crystal.
But the beam wasn't aimed at the enemy frontlines directly. No, it was directed straight to the center of the abandoned-Knightmares-turned-overloaded-explosives. With the added variable that was the Shinkiro's laser beam...
BOOM!!!!! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
A devastating chain reaction of explosions erupted at what was the near heart of the battlefield. Smoke, flames, shrapnel, and the likes scattered like an enlarged frag grenade going off. Of course, Lelouch took careful consideration for his allies, and made sure that at least the rather explosive plan would take its course away from any possible friendly fire. No doubt it was a sudden change in the tide of battle for the Rebellion forces, and further challenging Lelouch to figure out where to go from here now that he's sacrificed a good number of his available Knightmares for this gambit.
Until another opportunity showed itself, Lelouch exclaimed through his mech's speakers once more, all while reinforcing his Absolute Defense System's defenses after the explosions cleared up.
❝ The battle is not over yet, continue onward!! Charge! ❞
