Because of the arrival of Knights of the Round, Euphemia also ordered Governor's Mansion to make special and grand preparations. Although he is just a knight, Knights of the Round is a little different from other knights. Although in terms of status, Royal Family's children, such as Euphemia Such Royal Family members are higher than Knights of the Round. At the same time, Knights of the Round will also maintain necessary respect for these Royal Family princes and princesses, but in fact these Royal Family princes and princesses must also show necessary respect for Knights of the Round.
Not because of anything, just because Knights of the Round is the highest force of the Britannian Empire, and the most trusted force of Emperor Charles's direct subordinates. He is the closest person, especially NUMBER among the knights. ONE Biers is a confidant among cronies. In many cases, his power is much greater than that of many princes and princesses. Knights of the Round can also completely ignore the qualifications of all princes and princesses. After all, they belong to the power directly under the emperor, but most Knights of the Round will not do this.
Emperor Charles has countless children, and only a few of them can be truly respected by Knights of the Rounds and can command them, but Euphemia definitely does not belong here. Any of the above, and even Princess of Cornelia's level, when dealing with senior members of Knights of the Round, probably should rarely use a commanding tone to ask them to do things.
The arrival of Knights of the Round made the usually leisurely Governor's Mansion busy again.
Xiao Ran didn't have any special opinions about the arrival of the Biers knight. Xiao Ran was not worried about what this knight was going to do. He just learned from Saki that this knight actually brought other people into Area 11 through different channels. This made Xiao Ran aroused a little interest. After all, Xiao Ran did not find much difference among the officially dispatched personnel. And it is unknown what the situation will be among the people led by Biers. Then whether there will be participants will follow, this is what Xiao Ran is concerned about.
Just when Xiao Ran returned to his room and began to think about how to completely conceal his identity if participants really appeared, and extract their tasks from these participants, Mission World's restrictions this time, etc., Saki Maski hurriedly opened the door of Xiao Ran's room and walked in.
Xiao Ran turned to Saki Maski and stood up from the chair unhurriedly. "What happened?"
"It's a big deal." Although Saki Maski's steps were hurried, it could only be said to be fast. He nodded to Xiao Ran and said, "Something happened. Half an hour ago, the upcoming Sakura Stone import and export meeting The venue for the meeting was occupied by a group of the Rebel Army people, who held hostage a large number of staff and members of the meeting, almost all of whom were Britannia people, as well as a small number of foreign missions who came first for exchanges and arrangements."
From Saki Maski's point of view, the fact that Britannia or other people were kidnapped is just a trivial matter. The reason for the rush is not because of this incident, but just because of Euphemia's panic request. Sakura Stone's distribution meeting is a big event, and it has always been placed on seventy percent of the Sakura Stones in the world. The Area 11 of productivity is held, which can be regarded as the fourth major event in the recent period following the tragic death of Clovis, Euphemia serving as governor, and Area 11 being assigned to expand. During this period, almost everyone in the world will focus on Area 11.
It's just that the formal meeting will not be held for some time. Although it hasn't been long, the venue is slowly starting to get busy. At this stage before the meeting has started, many local tourists will go to visit the place. At the same time, the speaker who presides over the meeting and a large number of staff, as well as the missions from other countries who have arrived in advance to prepare for lobbying, have also checked into the hotel at the venue. The venue and nearby areas are in a stage of gradual alert, but it is precisely the period when the security force is weakest.
Xiao Ran heard what Saki said, nodded slightly and walked out of the room. On the way, he also asked, "Who is he?"
"An announcement has been made over there. It is an organization called Japanese Liberation Front, which is Resistance Organization established by the former Japanese Military."
"Haha." Xiao Ran smiled softly, "What's the request?"
Saki Maski curled his lips and said, "Demand the release of those declared by Britannia as political war criminals, and the complete withdrawal from Area 11."
"This is impossible." Xiao Ran said without thinking, "But I guess the other party should also understand this. If you want Britannia to leave Area 11 through a hijacking incident, no one will agree to such a thing. Their real request should not be this, so the final bottom line should be to release those they want. As for other conditions, we probably have to negotiate."
"With Euphemia's character, as long as the lives of those hostages can be guaranteed, then he should agree to any request that is not outrageous."
Saki Maski also knew this and asked, "Then what should we do?"
"It won't be used for anything for now, just watch it." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "This is an opportunity, of course it should be left to those in need."
Saki Maski understood what Xiao Ran wanted to do, and chuckled, "But Miss Euphemia may not be as patient as you, and I heard that Knights of the Round has already rushed to the venue."
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes. "That would be a bit troublesome. I don't know if a hostage at the venue will become a weapon for Knights of the Round. If not, it is estimated that all Rebel Army and those hostages will die tragically together. In this case, the best opportunity to appear will also disappear."
"Immediately let the garrison expand the encirclement and completely surround the entire venue. Keep the distance away and don't get too close. Let Guard Force also go out to assemble at a safe distance in front of the venue. Let Guard Force be ready to go at any time. Saki, you should also be prepared. By the way, let C. C and Nanalie know that no matter what happens today, they are absolutely not allowed to leave the door even half a step."
Saki Maski nodded, and after walking to the hall of the Governor's Mansion with Xiao Ran, he turned around and left to do what Xiao Ran ordered. When Xiao Ran walked down, he saw Euphemia with a nervous and sad face, who was staring at the news on the TV.
Hearing Xiao Ran's footsteps, Euphemia also stood up suddenly and looked at Xiao Ran anxiously. "Mr. Knight, what should we do now."
"Calm down." Xiao Ran gently touched Euphemia's head and said softly, "No matter what happens, the most important thing is to calm down. Deputy Governor should have rushed to the scene as soon as possible. What we have to do now is the same. As for the other party's request, we can delay it for a while and figure out the situation inside the venue over there before making the next judgment."
"I'm ready, let's set off quickly." Euphemia nodded, but with such a big thing happening under his own rule and so many innocent people involved, it was naturally impossible for the kind-hearted Euphemia to really feel relieved.
Xiao Ran nodded, looked up towards the door, and saw Jeremiah and Vireta who had been guarding the door for some time. They waved to them.
After the two of them quickly came to Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran asked, "Is there any specific feedback over there?"
Jeremiah shook his head. "The time since the incident happened is too short. Even the encirclement has not been sealed. Moreover, the other party immediately raised the two main roads leading in and out of the venue and blocked the only remaining road. It will take some time to know the situation inside."
Xiao Ran groaned. "How long did it take for the other party to reply."
Jeremiah hesitated for a moment. "No."
"There is no specific response time?" Xiao Ran nodded slowly and said, "It's interesting. It seems that the initiative is given to us, but in fact it gives them more initiative? It is better to let us fall into chaos and anxiety by giving time to force, because we don't know whether their bottom line is one hour or thirty minutes. They also chose to hijack the venue when they have the weakest but the most people to protect them. The person who presided over this operation really has some ideas."
"In this case, let's wait for the other party's next contact. We don't need to be too anxious. Let's prepare, protect His Highness to the venue, and inform the other party not to take any action before His Highness arrives. As long as the other party has some brains, all roads to the venue should have been cut off by now. It is obvious that the other party is not a brainless person."
Jeremiah nodded heavily. "Yes."
Xiao Ran looked at Vireta again. "Vireta, take the people first and pretend to be His Highness traveling and set off now."
After listening to Xiao Ran's words, Jeremiah and Vireta looked a little confused. After a pause, Vireta asked in shock, "Lord Knight, do you suspect that someone will take action against His Highness?"
Xiao Ran waved his hand. "Just in case. When everyone's eyes are on the venue, it is also the best time to take action against His Highness. If it were me, I would not let go of such an opportunity, especially at this important moment when the whole Area 11 is completely in chaos because of this matter, and I will also conduct the most detailed investigation on Princess Euphemia, go ahead."
"Yes!"
After Jeremiah and Vireta left, Xiao Ran turned to look at Euphemia: "Wait a moment, we will set off after they are ready."
Xiao Ran did this not only to ensure the safety of Euphemia, but also as a small test to see if there were any other hostile participants in Area 11 besides him and Saki Maski. To say that hostility is not completely hostility, at least from the standpoint of Black Knights, if Participant Legion really joins Area 11 Resistance Organization, then it can really be regarded as a group of people.
If a participant really mixes into Area 11 and joins the resistance force, it is very likely that they will attack Euphemia, but if there is a participant who does this, then either this Participant Legion's strength is too weak, and he does not have enough confidence to compete with Area 11's armed force, or he simply wants to take away an intact Euphemia in the simplest way.
Of course, the purpose of this test is secondary. What is more important is the safety of Euphemia.
Not long after, Saki Maski returned to Xiao Ran and Euphemia, and nodded to Xiao Ran to indicate that all the previous instructions had been completed. What followed was silence and boring waiting.
Although he was very worried about the cognition of being held hostage, for some reason, Euphemia just felt that he would be quite relieved when standing next to Xiao Ran. The worry just now seemed to be diluted a little because of Xiao Ran's relationship. What was even weirder was the feeling that as long as Xiao Ran was here, this incident would be perfectly resolved.
And Xiao Ran looked at Euphemia in front of him and smiled slightly. This hijacking incident still had some impression in Xiao Ran's memory. In the official plot, Euphemia should be among the hostages who were hijacked at this time. He just concealed his identity and was not discovered by the Rebel Army's people.
But now there may be too many reasons, such as he became Euphemia's knight and interfered in Area 11's affairs, such as Cornelia was attacked and Euphemia became the real governor, which finally made Euphemia has long become a well-known figure in Area 11, and had no intention of going to the venue before the meeting officially started. In the end, Euphemia was still staying in the Governor's Mansion at this time.
Of course, if Euphemia really went to the venue, it is estimated that this incident would not happen. In order to ensure the safety and prestige of Euphemia, Xiao Ran and Saki will definitely eliminate anyone who poses a threat as soon as possible.
When Vireta set off with a convoy, it was not until ten minutes after leaving that Xiao Ran broke the silence in the hall again. "That's enough, Jeremiah, you personally escort Princess Euphemia to the venue."
Before Jeremiah nodded, Euphemia looked at Xiao Ran blankly. "What about you, Mr. Knight?"
"Saki and I will follow behind to protect your safety. Don't worry, we won't be too far away from you. As long as you are in danger, we will appear as soon as possible. This is just in case." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and nodded to Jeremiah, who walked up to Euphemia and bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's time for us to set off."
Euphemia looked at Xiao Ran with complicated eyes, nodded and said softly, "Then you must keep up. If Mr. Knight is not watching me from the side, then I will be very worried."
"Yeah."
Watching Euphemia and Jeremiah leave, Xiao Ran followed Saki Maski and slowly left Governor's Mansion. He drove his car far behind Euphemia's convoy, but suddenly turned in a direction and completely left Euphemia's route.
After driving the car to a deserted place and stopping, Xiao Ran and Saki walked out of the car. With a wave of Xiao Ran's hand, a brand new pure black fighter plane appeared in front of them.
