Chapter 2382 Chapter 2437-2438 Eight minutes
Saki Maski stood by and kept a light smile. It seemed that he had not heard Jino say bad things about Xiao Ran. He just glanced at Jino from time to time, and the smile hidden in his eyes became even bigger. However, this smile was not happy or happy, but more like a superficial smile, similar to the smile of a hunter when he finds his prey.
Jino didn't know that he had offended Saki Maski with just one word. What was even less clear was the relationship between Xiao Ran, Saki, and Euphemia. Xiao Ran and Euphemia were not in a master-servant relationship, nor were they a normal superior-subordinate relationship. They were more like employment. Xiao Ran could feel dissatisfied at any time. Everyone has the right to leave and change jobs, and what Euphemia is least willing to do at this time is Xiao Ran's departure, so both parties are more equal and there is no class. Keno's words not only offended Saki, but also made Euphemia a little unhappy, but for Princess and the Governor, she could not directly scold Keno with words on this point.
Saki Maski smiled slightly and spoke softly to Euphemia: "Your Highness, if the competition and assessment are what these two knights expected, then your Mr. Knight has agreed now, and I also think With so many things happening in Area 11, it is necessary to use this performance-like competition to show the entire Area 11 rebels the powerful force of the empire. As for Lord Knight, I think you don't have to worry."
"Similar to Knights of the Round like Keno Knight, even ten more people will not be the opponent of Mr. Knight, and he must be responsible for his own arrogance and rudeness."
Euphemia knew that Xiao Ran and Saki were very close, but she didn't know how close they were. In front of her, Xiao Ran and Saki didn't show any attitude beyond the normal relationship between men and women, so they were stunned for a moment after hearing Saki's words. Then they turned to look at Keno and Anya. They fell silent and nodded lightly.
After Saki Maski finished speaking, he kept smiling and said to Jino: "You will soon know that in fact, your self-confidence and your pride are not worth mentioning at all. Arrogance without strength is just a joke, and the humility that a knight should have cannot be felt in you at all. You are not like most people. Like many Britannia people, we look down on people with lower status than ourselves, and we look down on Numbered Person even more, but this is Area 11, a place dedicated to achieving inclusiveness and equality for all, so you'd better curb your arrogance."
Jino frowned hard, looking at Saki Maski and then at Euphemia, feeling in his heart that the former Knight Xiao was now a Rumino Affairs Officer, but that's it. With such status, how come both of them are so wanton and wantonly say such rude words to their master? It is really rude, and they are still teaching Knights of the Round, who has an unusual status.
However, Euphemia remained expressionless after Saki Maski opened his mouth. He had no intention of stopping Saki at all. This also made Keno understand a little bit. He was silent for a moment and raised his head to face Euphemia and. Saki Maski Sunshine smiled, "I'm sorry, I was too rude. I apologize to the two Knight Xiao who are still leaving for my rudeness. I hope you can forgive me, but I still insist that as a knight, you must abide by the rules of your subordinates and cannot do anything beyond your limits."
"No, he is not my subject." Euphemia took a slight step forward, stared at Kino and said word by word, "Mr. Knight is my Guardians, the only Guardians. He and I are equal, do you understand Kino Beinberuk Knights of the Round."
"Yes." Jino was stunned, took a deep breath, stroked his chest and bent down, saying, "I understand, please forgive me for leaving. I need to make some preparations for the next assessment."
Euphemia nodded slightly. "Go, Saki, let these guests rest first, otherwise it would be too rude to just stand here and wait."
"Okay, Your Highness." Saki Maski smiled slightly, glanced at Jino who turned to leave, and Anya, who nodded to show disrespect and followed Jino away. He shook his head and turned around and waved to the back. When someone came quickly, he arranged for the people below to prepare for the assessment trial. At least now, so many people can't wait under the sun. It is also necessary to find a cool place to prepare chairs and water.
At first, no one knew what was going on. The arrangements for the next step of resettlement and the later welcome reception were also disrupted, so they were placed directly in the military airport terminal and waited inexplicably. But not long after, what was going to happen next was slowly spread. It was immediately known that Personal Knight of Euphemia and Knights of the Round of Emperor Charles had a conflict, and a competition would be held on the spot at the military airport.
At this time, the entire terminal began to become lively, happily waiting for the start of the competition. Some people felt that the knight Euphemia was too ignorant. He dared to challenge the most powerful Knights of the Round regardless of his identity, and even had a conflict with Lord Knights of the Round. They felt that Knight Xiao should be taught a lesson.
This kind of thought occupies almost half, and among the remaining half, there is a part that is just watching the fun, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, and the last part of the people are on Xiao Ran's side, and they also think that there is something great about the knights of the round table.
But there are still some people who, after learning about the competition between Xiao Ran and Keno Knights of the Round, are not optimistic about the famous Knights of the Round. Instead, they are almost famous except for being the knight of Euphemia. I have never seen Xiao Ran in action. These are the people who truly understand the strength of Xiao Ran, such as Jeremiah, the pilots in Guard Force, and Lloyd.
I don't know why, but the competition between Xiao Ran and Keno is more about whether Xiao Ran can become Knights of the Round. After this leaked out, many people began to have some special ideas. After a sudden change, I suddenly felt that Knight Xiao could start the assessment of Knights of the Round. It seemed not that simple, but one was the assessor and the other was the assessee. The majority of people thought that Keno would win.
Originally, many people thought that this news was exciting enough. Personal Knight of Princess Euphemia was qualified to become Knights of the Round. However, even more exciting news soon spread throughout the terminal. All the news gradually began to spread through the news one by one. For example, Knight Xiao will challenge two Knights of the Round at the same time, one against two. This is extremely exciting news.
Xiao Ran notified Lloyd, and Lloyd did not hesitate to notify people to send Lancelot to Xiao Ran immediately. I came over and ran to the vicinity of Euphemia. I even picked up several telescopes and gave one to each of Suzaku Kururugi and Cecil. I waited with great anticipation.
Although this guy is keen on technology, he is also keen on excitement. As long as it is related to the excitement of the battle between KF and other mechas, and it is possible to join in the fun, there will be no time when this guy does not appear. I don't know why Technicians, who specializes in technology research mecha development, likes to watch the fun so much.
When Lancelot arrived, the two exclusive aircraft of Knights of the Round also stood on the airfield of the airport. Lloyd also ran to Xiao Ran's side. At the same time, Suzaku Kururugi and came over. There were four people: Cecil, Jeremiah, and Vireta. Further to the rear, all the pilots of Guard Force were present, and basically all the other people who were not on duty were also present. They stood silently and cheered for Xiao Ran.
Walking onto the carrier vehicle with Xiao Ran, Lloyd controlled the computer to unlock Lancelot, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Lloyd: "What do you think."
Lloyd chuckled, "I just thought it would be best to save some face for these two little guys. One is seventeen years old and the other is fifteen. It is not easy to become Knights of the Round. If the blow is too big, it will be difficult to recover."
"Ha." Xiao Ran laughed in a slightly weird tone and said, "It's not difficult to save face, but I must win this competition. It depends on whether I can become Knights of the Round. Do you want to tell me how long the current Lancelot can withstand my operation?"
Lloyd pushed up his glasses, blinked, and suddenly said, "Lancelot's new weapon is ready for use. It is a new type of electromagnetic gun. Do you want to test it by the way? If it is you, I think even using this new weapon will not hurt the pilot."
"No need." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Forget it, just use ordinary weapons. Has the body been inspected? Are there any problems in all aspects?"
"That's it." Lloyd glanced at the screen and said, "Then just equip it with any rifle. After you used Lancelot last time, I had it renovated and strengthened. This time it will probably be enough for you to operate it for ten minutes."
"Just a few minutes is enough." Xiao Ran waved his hand, grabbed an earphone from the table and hung it to his ear without even changing his clothes. He walked a few steps under the open cockpit, jumped slightly and stretched out his hand to sit in the driver's seat. He pulled the cockpit and retracted it directly into the body of the aircraft.
Quickly opening the body system, Xiao Ran once again started to adjust the Lancelot that he had driven before, and once again raised Lancelot to its most extreme state.
Raising his hand and tapping the headphones next to his ears, Xiao Ran said, "Lloyd, the body has been adjusted. The feedback from the body should be fine, right? Also, are you sure you can really last ten minutes?"
"Everything is normal here." Lloyd's voice rang in Xiao Ran's ears. After all, although Lancelot is almost complete and has been announced to the outside world as completely complete, it is only a test experimental machine after all. Lloyd will record it whenever there is an attack.
"Ten minutes is just an estimate. In short, within eight minutes is relatively safe. This time it is Knights of the Round who has the best driving ability. Eight minutes for two people. Even if I know your abilities, are you still taking a little risk? Or should you test the new weapon by the way? I guarantee that as long as it hits, the battle can be solved with one shot."
"Using that kind of thing will make that proud boy think that I am invincible." Xiao Ran smiled leisurely and said, "I am ready to break his pride and let these two little guys know that even Knights of the Round has his tail between his legs in Area 11."
With a gentle push from Xiao Ran's hand, Lancelot stood up from the fixed frame and walked steadily and slowly towards the two machines that were already standing in the open space.
And when Xiao Ran drove the machine body away from Transport Vehicle, Suzaku Kururugi also quickly started the vehicle and rushed out, away from the test site at the fastest speed. He did not stop the car until he ran a long way away. Together with Lloyd and Cecil, they stood at the best place in the car and raised the binoculars.
When Xiao Ran entered the venue, Euphemia's voice also sounded on the general channel, "Mr. Knight, are you ready?"
"Ready."
Euphemia's voice was a little serious. "Okay, Mr. Knight, please pay attention to safety and don't let yourself get hurt. Now the two Knights of the Round are ready to complete. This assessment will be supervised by me. If there are no problems, I will issue the order to start in thirty seconds."
"No problem." Xiao Ran saw the enlarged picture on the side from the screen. Euphemia was standing in the command room of the terminal with a microphone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking in this direction with a worried expression.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Ran also looked at the two machines in front of him. One was mainly painted in blue and white, with a huge backpack and a flying eagle. Its body shape was more slim, and it had the ability to transform and fly in the air. It was a machine that pursued mobility and Close Combat's body, to a certain extent, this body with air combat capabilities also restrains Lancelot, which currently does not have flight capabilities, to a certain extent. This is the natural suppression of air to ground, not a problem with Mecha Performance.
The second body is a heavy Red Mecha. We don't know whether it has the ability to fly, but it has two shoulder shields like balance wings, thick armor and conspicuous gun ports. At a glance, people know that this is a heavy artillery body that pursues powerful firepower.
One forward, one far, one empty, one ground. If the two machines can cooperate perfectly, they can suppress most targets of similar level. However, in front of Xiao Ran, it doesn't make any sense how the two machines can cooperate perfectly.
As the thirty-second countdown ended, Euphemia's last voice before the battle rang in his ears. "Mr. Knight, please be careful. This is just an assessment. Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation because of something like this. Whether it's you or them, it's best for everyone not to get hurt."
"Finally, the assessment... begins!"
