Seeing the rare bitter expression on Guildford's face and the attention of others, Xiao Ran didn't know what happened before his arrival. It is estimated that they had already tried to get close to the venue through the above methods before, but they all ended in failure, and the person who issued the order was probably Guildford, who was not at odds with him.
But Xiao Ran didn't want to say anything to Guildford at this time. Even if he was sarcastic about Guildford at this time, it would have no meaning.
"Haha." Bismark glanced at Guildford, nodded and said, "After talking so much, I still haven't come up with any specific methods. What you said will not help in rescuing the hostages inside."
"I'll go in." Xiao Ran said calmly, and continued amidst everyone's astonishment, "If I go in and start the negotiation, at least it will make the other party feel some sincerity, and it will also make other resistance forces who are watching at this time and ordinary Area 11 The people feel that we really want to change Area 11, and after I enter, I can also offer conditions to the other party. At least the old people, women and children inside must be replaced first. By then, if half of the people are replaced, there will not be too much condemnation even if they are conducting a strong attack."
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Euphemia directly grabbed Xiao Ran's arm and refused nervously. "No, you are absolutely not allowed to go in. We don't know what is going on inside. If you go in, you will only put yourself in a dangerous situation. I will never allow such a thing to happen."
"This is the only way to stabilize the opponent for the time being." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "And if we really have to attack by force, I can ensure the safety of the hostages inside."
Xiao Ran had already planned to enter, but now the Empire cannot enter the venue. Euphemia is temporarily helpless because of Euphemia's unwillingness to harm the hostages. Similarly, if Black Knights wants to appear, they have no way to get close to the venue, and they are also unable to deal with the current bad situation. They may be arrested by the Empire as soon as they appear.
And once the empire loses patience and directly orders a strong attack, it will be over and the best opportunity to appear will be missed.
What Xiao Ran has to do is to guide the current situation into the original plot, but he replaces the role that should have been Euphemia with him, letting Euphemia suppress him from the outside. To control other people, firstly because of the innocent hostages, and secondly because he was inside, the Imperial Army rat-shooter outside did not dare to launch a strong attack on the people inside, giving Lelouch the best chance.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Bismark, Xiao Ran wouldn't actually have to do that. Bismark has too much power, comparable to the children of the Royal Family who have official positions. They can ignore Euphemia's life and issue an order to attack. Of course, Bismark will not do it unless necessary. After all, as a knight, my allegiance is to the Royal Family, I will not go too far, and I will try my best to avoid conflicts with the Royal Family members with official positions like Euphemia. I believe that as long as the situation inside is stable in a short period of time, Euphemia should be able to suppress Bismark.
"Your Highness." Xiao Ran looked at Euphemia again, bowed slightly and said, "If you want to safely rescue all the hostages inside, it is completely necessary to send people in. And as your Highness's Personal Knight, if I go in when His Highness cannot take risks, it will make it more sincere that the princess is willing to listen to their needs. Of course, this sincerity is not shown to the rebels who took the hostages, but to everyone in Area 11. This can reflect His Highness's kindness, and it can also show that His Highness cares about all the hostages. It also allows the hostages to know that His Highness has not given up on them, nor on any Area 11 civilians."
"Secondly, my identity is sufficient. As Personal Knight, it is easier for the rebels to make exchanges and try to rescue the old and weak among the hostages first. Even if a strong attack is to be carried out, the remaining strong people will at least have some ability to protect themselves. When the strong attack fails, at least a group of people can be safely rescued."
"Third, I think I have the ability to ensure my own safety, so there should be no other person other than me who is more suitable to go in and negotiate with them personally."
Bismark took a deep look at Xiao Ran with his single eye, then turned towards Euphemia and stroked his chest and said, "Your Highness, I agree with Knight Lelouch's proposal. If you want to rescue the hostages inside, or at least rescue some of the hostages, then it would be a good idea to let a person with a suitable identity go in and exchange. This method is precisely because of Knight Lelouch's special identity, so the safety is more guaranteed. As a last resort, the other party should not put Knight Lelouch's life in danger, and Knight Lelouch can also try to pass the message to us, so that we can be more confident to rescue the remaining hostages and eliminate the rebels."
"But in this case, wouldn't Knight Lelouch also be in danger? What if something happens?" Euphemia is not willing to take risks with Xiao Ran. Of course, she also wants to Rescue the hostages inside. As for the terrorists, in fact Euphemia has no mercy for them. Even if all those people are eliminated, Euphemia will not feel anything wrong at all.
Bismark said, "I think since Knight Lelouch brought it up, he should have been prepared for any situation, is that it? Knight Lelouch."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and said calmly to Euphemia: "Your Highness, you can rest assured. Just as Knight Bismark said, because of my special status, I am safer than those hostages. As for safety, I believe that with my ability, I should be able to ensure my own safety."
Bismark also said in a deep voice, "I will also make corresponding arrangements and do my best to protect the safety of Knight Lelouch."
Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Bismark's two so-called subordinates. He nodded lightly and stopped talking. It was inconvenient to say anything more. However, if it was these two people, it was really possible for them to sneak into the hijacked venue. Once these two people entered, it would basically be like a wolf among the sheep, and the outcome of those resisters would probably be determined.
The two people who appeared with Bismark were full of abnormalities in Xiao Ran's eyes. For example, the two people's eyes almost always went back and forth between himself and Euphemia. Although they were deeply hidden, Xiao Ran still saw something from the eyes of the two people.
When the two people looked at him, they revealed more emotions of curiosity, surprise, and some excitement. When they looked at Euphemia, they were completely different from Bismark, who had even greater power. In their eyes, these two people had no respect for Euphemia at all. In their hearts, It's even full of lust, but most of the participants are actors. It's okay to disguise themselves when necessary, but all those disguises are meaningless in front of Xiao Ran, because Xiao Ran can directly read the truest emotions revealed in their hearts.
Therefore, these two people are definitely not people trained in the empire. Xiao Ran can also be sure that these two people should be participants who have joined the empire camp. As for the strength of these two people, Xiao Ran can only say that they are far from the level that makes him feel threatened. The intensity of Mental Power's emission is also comparable to that of Xiao Ran itself. Weak. If these two people are not spiritual participants and cannot condense their own spirits, then Xiao Ran feels that it shouldn't be too difficult to get rid of these two people before they are released from the machine. In short, they should not be too high-level participants, about the level of C or B. There is not much threat to him, S-class Pilot.
And these two people have basically been labeled as sure to kill in Xiao Ran's heart. It's not because these two participants seem to have any dirty thoughts about Euphemia. At least, it's not entirely for this reason., the same reason is also because these two people joined the empire's camp, and they are completely opposite in camp. They were originally small characters who could be killed or not, but precisely because of the dirty thoughts in their hearts, they just took the initiative to step into the line that separates life and death.
Xiao Ran was silent, and the eyes under the mask glanced at the two people again, thinking, "But it is not the time yet... At least not now, not in this place, killing these two people."
With Xiao Ran's determination, Bismark's support, and Guildford's persuasion, Euphemia had no choice but to agree no matter how unwilling it was. Xiao Ran's decision to go to the venue alone was confirmed. Once confirmed, someone quickly contacted the terrorists at the venue and expressed their request for negotiation.
The Rebel Army side has no reason to refuse such a request. Besides, he is only going there alone, and he is a person with a noble status among Area 11. With a Personal Knight like Xiao Ran in, the role he can play in the eyes of the resistance forces is simply more useful than the group of hostages currently being held hostage.
When Xiao Ran was preparing to enter the venue building, a specially prepared news soon began to be broadcast from various media, and soon caused a great backlash within Area 11, and a series of news Play, what is said is that Euphemia is willing to get along more harmoniously with the Area 11 people in the future, and Area 11 will begin to gradually improve the current living environment of the Area 11 people. environment, rebuild the city, and hope that Resistance Organization can put down his weapons and use peaceful methods to find the future of Area 11, etc., and also emphasized that for those hostages, Euphemia He even sent his most trusted Personal Knight to the venue building, hoping to use communication methods to rescue the hostages, etc. It doesn't matter how effective it is, the important thing is to express Euphemia's position to the outside world.
After leaving the command room, Xiao Ran took out the communicator and quickly wrote two new messages and sent them out. One was to remind Saki Maski that a participant had appeared and ask her to be careful, while the other was to ask Lelouch about the current situation.
"I'm going to enter the venue to buy time. What are you going to do now and what do you need me to do."
"Wait."
"Be careful, there may be people with special abilities."
Lelouch only replied with two words. Xiao Ran looked at the message recovered by Lelouch and was silent for a few seconds. He quickly replied and then put the communicator back on his body. He strode out of the land battleship and walked slowly to the front of the only remaining main road into the venue.
This is the first time Xiao Ran has contacted Lelouch today, and such a big thing has happened. Even if Xiao Ran does not contact Lelouch, they will definitely know about it. From some time ago, Xiao Ran and Lelouch have been waiting for the opportunity like now for Black Knights to make a perfect debut, so Xiao Ran has reason to believe that Lelouch must have been preparing for this day.
A long time ago, due to the instigation of Xiao Ran, Lelouch had already put a lot of thought into Black Knights. It was no longer created on special occasions like the original plot, but Black Knights was established from the beginning and the internal action plan was determined.
He also reminded Xiao Ran about what Rebel Army would be preparing to do. From that time on, Lelouch should have known what would happen, so it was more likely that Lelouch was choosing opportunities instead of waiting for them. In addition, with Xiao Ran's reminder, Lelouch is no longer so stingy about the use of GEASS's abilities. Although Xiao Ran is not sure how Lelouch developed Black Knights, Lelouch used GEASS King's Command a lot of times in the process.
Xiao Ran wondered whether Lelouch had already extended his tentacles into other resistance forces. Or maybe this guy had already infiltrated the venue? But speaking of it, if Lelouch was not completely sure when setting up his plan, he would never let himself take the risk of appearing in front of the Imperial Army, let alone actively get into the encirclement of the Imperial Army.
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows suddenly, then smiled silently, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid it's not just that, Lelouch this guy should be seriously developing Black Knights is correct. This kid may have planted his own nails on the Imperial Army. It is very likely that this kid has already led people inside before the siege of the venue building is completed."
At this time, Jeremiah and Vireta had led some Guard Force members to block the gate. They were also shocked when they knew that Xiao Ran was going to the venue building alone. However, when they saw Xiao Ran slowly walking in front of them, they didn't know what to say.
Taking a deep breath, Jeremiah said in a deep voice, "Sir, is this too risky?"
"How can we safely rescue all the hostages inside without taking risks?" Xiao Ran shook his head, handed his gun to Jeremiah, and ordered, "Let the special Lancelot be ready, and Suzaku Kururugi Driving, as soon as you get my signal, rush in from the pipe under the road and destroy the foundation of the building. I will take the hostages to a safe place before the building sinks completely. If it is the guy Suzaku Kururugi who drives Lancelot, he should be able to break through safely."
Jeremiah was stunned. "Signal?"
"When a bullet lands at your feet, that's the signal."
