Xiao Ran kept saying that he wanted to teach Xiao Ran a lesson and let him know what it means to have orderly respect and order. Knights of the Round finally did not attend the banquet held in the evening specifically for these people who came from afar. It was explained to the outside world that he was injured during the assessment and it was inconvenient to come, but anyone with a discerning eye could also see that no matter whether he was injured or not, Jino had no shame in coming. Whether he was really injured or not, only the person involved knows best.
It is not shameful to fail as Knights of the Round, but what is interesting is that just before the assessment began, this Knights of the Round looked down on Euphemia's Personal Knight, and also The failure in this kind of fight, which was like a teasing without the power to fight back, not to mention the impact on other Knights of the Round, at least for Keno himself, some bad rumors appeared in Area 11.
But another Knights of the Round, the equally young and only fifteen-year-old girl Anya, instead became the representative of Self-Awareness. This time she came to the evening banquet and was not affected too much by the previous assessment, although Anya did not stay at the reception for long.
Xiao Ran and Euphemia only stayed at the reception for less than half an hour and then left first. They only showed up and said a few words. At this time, the people who attended the reception looked at Xiao Ran with more different eyes.
Originally, many people thought that the knight Xiao Ran was just lucky enough to reach his current status. However, few people knew before that Xiao Ran, a character who emerged from nowhere, is actually not simple. In an understatement, Euphemia stabilized the situation of Area 11 on the first day he became the governor, so that the noble officials willingly began to cooperate with Euphemia to slowly prepare for the implementation of benevolent government.
Today, Xiao Ran defeated Knights of the Round one on two, and turned one of the knights' body into a human stick. This gave these people a better understanding of Xiao Ran. Not only was he outstanding in ability, but he was also unparalleled in strength. He also became one of the characters who should not be messed with among Area 11.
Lelouch also saw this assessment event in the news, but due to the news control, only a few simple scenes were played. Finally, the results of Xiao Ran's victory and passing the Knights of the Round assessment were announced. There was no more specific description of Keno's failure, but in Lelouch's view, it would definitely be a crushing battle.
The victory of Xiao Ran caused quite a stir in Area 11, but it also created a lot of waves in Imperial Headquarters. At this time, Bismark summoned all the people who were still in Imperial Headquarters's Knights of the Round is watching and analyzing the video record of Xiao Ran driving Lancelot to destroy Keno. There is also a video about Variable Fighter, especially the missile used in the attack.
Geno is the third knight of Knights of the Round. Although his age is not great, his strength is obvious to all. Being able to become the third knight depends entirely on his own efforts. In this position, he can basically be recognized by others. If it were not for his young age, he would be another Powerful Minister in the empire.
Knights of the Round is not completely in love with each other. The ranking of the knights also explains to a certain extent their strength, power, accumulation of past achievements, etc. At least Geno's ability to serve as the third knight has already said that he does have such strength.
Bismark, who was the host of the meeting, was sitting at the front of the round table. Under him were several men and women wearing knight uniforms of the same color as him. Outside the round table, there were also a group of Imperial pilots in red uniforms, officers in various uniforms, and Technicians in a white coat.
After the meeting started, Bismark didn't say anything and let everyone present watch two videos respectively. One was of the Lancelot driven by Xiao Ran following Tristan like a ghost. All the conversations between the two during the entire battle were also recorded. In the end, there was a flash of light, and the third knight's Custom Mecha was shattered.
The second video is of a Black Fighter falling from the sky. The Micro Missile, which uses technology beyond this world, uses 100% Accuracy Rate to shoot down groups of air helicopter formations located in different defenses, leaving clouds of fireballs in the sky and long trails left by the missiles.
Many people in the entire conference room showed cautious expressions after watching it, but there were also people who looked disapproving, whether it was the strange performance of Lancelot in the first video, or the small missile with super guidance performance that the empire could not manufacture in the second video.
But Bismark didn't speak, and the people below didn't say a word either. Bismark's eyes swept over the people in the conference room, and his one eye focused on the few people who had no military image in the meeting. He patted the table lightly and said, "First thing, the driver of this Lancelot is... It is Personal Knight, Lelouch Xiao of Princess Euphemia. I have recommended him to become Knights of the Round, and your Majesty has given a positive reply, so I sent Keno and Anya to conduct the driving assessment of KF Combat."
"This video document is the assessment process, and the results are very obvious. Although it is not ruled out that some Keno knights were too careless during the process, there is no doubt about Lelouch Xiao's driving ability. The formal canonization is already being prepared, so soon, we will have a highly capable comrade."
"This one's ability is not only reflected in combat, but also outstanding in other aspects. In less than ten hours after Princess Euphemia became Governor of Area 11, he completely suppressed all other voices of Area 11, making Princess Euphemia easily control the entire situation of Area 11."
"But what I really want to remind you is that you must not think that your status is noble. Even if he does not have any noble status, don't provoke him. Of course, if you are willing to be attacked from behind by such a master on the battlefield, just pretend that I have not said that. His character is very decisive and direct, and he does not care about the status of the people he doesn't like. Keno ended up with this result because he said something he shouldn't have said when meeting Princess Euphemia."
But there is one sentence that Bismark has not said, that is, Emperor Charles agrees with Knight Xiao to become Knights of the Round, and also agrees with all Xiao Ran's requests. Please, no one can make him do something he doesn't want to do, but he has to show enough achievements. This in turn means that no one can stop Knight Xiao from doing anything he wants to do. At least this has nothing to do with anyone, and no one can restrict it.
Even if you forcibly order Knight Xiao not to do it, it is useless. In Bismark's heart, Xiao Ran is a decisive and direct person. It can be seen from his willingness to enter a building that has been occupied by opposition forces alone. He is brave and strong, not only in terms of strength, but also in mentality.
There is absolutely no stopping such a person from doing what he wants, and no one can stop him. Therefore, for the sake of internal harmony within Knights of the Round, and to avoid situations like Keno where both the machine and the person fall into the hands of his own people, Bismark had to remind the other Knights of the Rounds sitting there at this time.
But... there are other people sitting in the conference room. Although these people show respect for them, they actually don't take them to heart at all. Bismark really hopes that they will provoke Knight Xiao to see what kind of sparks Xiao Ran, with the support of Knights of the Round, can create with these mysterious people.
"The second thing is that this black fighter plane has extremely high speed and flexibility. It is a model that has never appeared before. The most noteworthy thing is that the weapon used by this fighter plane is also a brand-new missile weapon. It has precise guidance and locking capabilities, and can lock a certain number of different targets at the same time. It also has terrible sensitivity, speed and pursuit performance. If this kind of aircraft is placed on the battlefield, it will also be a huge threat to our ground and air forces."
"Especially for the air and space warships used by our country, this kind of missiles and fighters will be the biggest nemesis of the air and space warships. They are also brand-new weapons that have never appeared in any country. According to the report submitted by Academy of Sciences, our technology is currently unable to produce such missiles. They should be made using very sophisticated technology. Therefore, in order to prepare for and solve this threat, we must find out where this kind of fighter comes from, and it is best to obtain the technical information of such fighters and missiles."
"As for this fighter plane and missile, it first appeared in Area 11, and it is closely related to the sudden appearance of Black Knights. This is also the only clue we have obtained. Staff Department speculates that Black Knights is likely to appear in Area 18. Area 19 has a certain relationship with the organizations with Unconventional Technology that appear in Maritime Nation and other places. Based on the changes these organizations have brought to the current situation and the powerful destructive power they have shown, Area 11 is likely to fall into the same chaos and danger in other areas."
"Jino and Anya's visit this time is also to strengthen Military Reinforcement of Area 11, and to conduct a thorough investigation of Area 11. If it is confirmed that there are similar targets on Area 11, then everyone must be prepared to immediately go to Area 11 to completely eliminate all threats."
"Area 11 is the most important production site for energy and important materials in our country. There is absolutely no room for any problems. Everyone needs to be prepared to go out at any time."
"The current temporary policy of the empire is to stabilize the current situation, and we must not continue to allow chaos to expand."
After finishing speaking, Bismark looked at the man who, although he was not Knights of the Round, was still sitting at the round table and wearing a special uniform that was different from the knight uniform, mainly red and black, and nodded to him, said, "Knight Koji, the next work to stabilize the chaotic situation in each district, as well as external defense work, still needs to rely on you Crimson Knights to maintain it. The garrisons in various places will also fully cooperate with you."
The person Bismark called Knight Koji stood up and nodded with a smile, as if he was very confident and said, "Crimson Knights will definitely cooperate with Knights of the Round Table, and the garrison troops in each district will do their current work well. With us Crimson Knights here, the enemy will not be allowed to enter our defense line, but I still hope to increase material support for Crimson Knights as soon as possible, especially the important Strategic Material Sakura Stone. Frequent battles have also led to a significant increase in Sakura Stone's consumption. If we do not get sufficient replenishment, it will be difficult for us Crimson Knights to maintain its current combat strength."
Bismark said, "His Majesty has passed a special order regarding this. Later, the material support for Crimson Knights, especially the quantity of Sakura Stone, will be increased to twice the original plan. I believe that this quantity of Sakura Stone should be enough for Crimson Knights."
Knight Koji nodded again. "If that's the case, then I have no problem."
Next, the meeting hosted by Bismark continued for a long time. After that, the participants in the meeting left and started to arrange the latest tasks. Knight Koji, who was Crimson Knights, sat in a car not long after leaving the conference room. He leaned on the backrest, crossed his legs and put his hands on the armrests.
He squinted his eyes and suddenly became a little deep, and said in a low voice, "Send a few people over to Area 11 to conduct a thorough investigation of the black fighter plane to see if there are other legions infiltrated there, especially that Black Knights. You must conduct the most detailed investigation, and also conduct a thorough investigation of that Knight Lelouch, and make contact with him."
"Now each legion is making advance preparations for war and infiltrating all forces. No one will blindly start a war with other legions in this bad state. Except for the two legions over there, which have been knocked unconscious, that is not their full strength. Area 11 is the largest production location of Sakura Stone. Next, in order to obtain more Sakura Stone, each legion will definitely insert Area 11 after stabilizing the existing situation and territory. Now everyone is sure that Area 11 will become the official starting point for each legion, and it will also be the Contested Ground of all parties."
"Although no one will take the initiative to intervene in Area 11 at the risk of being targeted by other legions, but this is not completely certain. Our control over Area 11 is still too weak, and we must strengthen our control and understanding of it."
"If we join this empire now, we already have an advantage over other legions. If we don't seize this opportunity, we will leave the opportunity to others. But the people in this country don't trust us at all and just want to use our power. They will not tolerate us extending our hands into Area 11. All this must be carried out from the dark, and there is another mysterious organization behind the emperor to protect him. We need to act more cautiously before we can figure out that power."
"Try to control the governor Euphemia of Area 11, and the Lelouch who is about to become Knights of the Round. It's a pity that the mission does not allow us to take action against the main figures of the force. Otherwise, as long as we can control the emperor of this country, it means that this country has fallen into our hands."
