From the mouths of these three participants, Xiao Ran got a general understanding of the situation of this Legion Mission. For these legions that have entered this world, this mission is not a simple head-on legion attack, but a strategic mission in a low-level world like Lelouch. Strategies need to be developed, and legions that can obtain more Sakura Stone will also gain more advantages in the mission.
Sakura Stone is used as the measure of material development for this mission because the world level of this mission is too low. It is also the real difficulty of this mission. Without Sakura Stone, the body cannot be unlocked. Without Sakura Stone cannot be used even if the machine is unsealed. Sakura Stone is everything. If you can unblock the machine the fastest and obtain enough legions to support Sakura Stone for combat, the speed of development will become faster and faster, one step at a time.
However, there are ten legions in this mission, so even if one legion really takes the lead, it may not necessarily be the final winner, because the legions behind it can form an alliance. As long as a suitable alliance contract is signed, two, or even three, or four legions can join together and use their common resources to launch several high-level pilots. The legion that can also defeat the top legion will win together. Because of this, the development and relationship between these ten legions will become more complicated.
In the early days of the mission, that is, now, each legion did not have enough resources, so there was no way to come up with high-level aircraft. As a result, the real leading force in this world will still be the current Native inhabitant force. Even if the strength of these Native inhabitant is too poor, it can't stand up to their large number and complete range of weapons. If they really fail to fight, the participants will stumble.
This also explains the confusion that Xiao Ran only piloted low-level aircraft to fight when he knew that there were participants, because the current legions simply do not have enough resources to unlock high-level aircraft, and can only unlock these low-level and low-cost aircraft as soon as possible. Obtain more rights and support from the forces you join, so as to unblock high-level machines as soon as possible and then finalize the situation, and finally achieve the situation of using the forces now and then controlling the forces. In this way, the entire world will be completely plunged into the most terrifying war.
The first phase of the mission requires each legion to obtain a territory. From this point of view, there are various possibilities. Will the subsequent missions require the development of territory, or the establishment of a base in the territory, and the mission will fail if the base is lost? These are all possible, but if a legion wants to obtain the most In the event of final victory, how the forces currently joined will be strengthened will be the most important scoring condition. Various situations are much more troublesome than simple melee missions, but it is known that each legion currently needs time and resources to develop, so it is impossible to blindly start a full-scale war and others will take advantage of it.
It is for this reason that the ten legions have also fallen into a strange balance. No legion dares to blindly break this balance and force other legions to unite to deal with it. This also leads to Area 11, the place with the largest Sakura Stone mining volume in the world, where no legion dares to reach out in a big way, but Xiao Ran is sure that there are definitely more than the three participants in Area 11 at this time. No matter which legion it is, it will send certain personnel to sneak into Area 11 to monitor every move of other legions, so that it is possible to respond as soon as something unexpected happens in Area 11.
Not just Area 11, maybe even him, Euphemia, ZERO, Black Knights should have entered the eyes of various legions at this time, maybe he is now Xiao Ran The knight role will also be regarded by these legions as the biggest BOSS guarding Area 11, a BOSS that must be pushed away, and Black Knights may become the main assisting force in the eyes of these legions that can push away the BOSS.
In other words, it is the other way around, thinking that Xiao Ran can cooperate to become another early powerful combat force of their legion. As long as they win over Xiao Ran and Euphemia, it is equivalent to indirectly controlling Area 11, Black Knights will become a threat, but no matter what the situation, more participants will appear in Area 11, either choosing to unite with Black Knights, or choosing to side with Xiao Ran.
Just speaking according to the forces, after all, Area 11 belongs to the empire. There should be very few legions who will choose Xiao Ran. If you really choose Xiao Ran's non-imperial force legion, it must be a legion led by a leader with long-term vision and ability, because this legion will definitely try to make Area 11 leave the empire. It will not only strengthen itself, but also weaken the empire and those who join the empire. Participant Legion, but under normal circumstances, Black Knights, who has nothing to do with the empire, will be chosen more often. However, he chose to join the Blood Knight Legion on the side of the empire, so he chose the third method, preparing to use force. Controlling Xiao Ran and Euphemia, it can only be said that this kind of confidence is too blind. Xiao Ran can guarantee that he will lose if he can't trick this Crimson Knights.
After asking some questions, Xiao Ran took one of them out of the truck. For these three participants, it was possible to use GEASS to control them to do things or answer questions. After all, they did not have the ability to resist GEASS. They just wanted to know the entire situation of their legion from their mouths. There was no way to keep secrets. These were things that even with the GEASS ability, they could not do it.
If Lelouch were asked who they were, there would be even more questions. These three participants would only respond blankly and dullly with the identities assigned to them by Prometheus, and would never say that they were participants. It was as if Prometheus was also restricting these three participants who had lost themselves from revealing any information about Prometheus to the outside world.
Lelouch saw Xiao Ran walking out with someone, and also asked, "Have you finished asking what you want to ask?"
"Almost, I can't tell you anything else." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Your GEASS ability can only be used once on the target, but as long as the power of GEASS is eliminated, it can be used on the same target again. I will clear the GEASS ability from this guy's head. You are using your ability on him once and ordering him to kill anyone in the car."
Lelouch frowned slightly. "What's the point of doing this? Didn't you just say that you sent a bullet and wanted them to die whenever they want? Why are you doing such unnecessary things now?"
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "These people are a little special. They couldn't answer many of the questions I asked just now. It's not because they know it but because of some restrictions that we don't know. It's like being rooted in a core command that cannot be betrayed. It has a higher priority than yours King's Command, you should also know very well that your GEASS ability cannot make others do things they cannot do. As a result, they did not reveal the confidential information of the legion behind them at all, so I want to see if they can do such a betrayal like killing their own companions under your order."
"If you can, it means that your orders can at least control their bodies. In other words, the betrayal of killing your companions will not be subjectively counted on them. It is not an act of betrayal for them, but they have just become tools under your control. You will be safer against these people in the future, and you will be able to do more with these people. But if you can't..."
Lelouch nodded thoughtfully. "Then if you don't have the power to fight back, you can only use the only opportunity of GEASS to give other orders, and then deal with them personally."
Having said this, Lelouch glanced at Xiao Ran: "Try it."
Xiao Ran put his hand on the head of the guy who was lifted out, and his whole body lit up with a green light that made Lelouch a little stunned. All the light disappeared in just a few seconds, and Xiao Ran also nodded towards Lelouch.
The ability of GEASS was eliminated. As soon as the participant woke up, he once again saw an eye flashing with the red bird rune, and then he knew nothing about it the next second.
"Go kill whoever's in the car."
The participant controlled by King's Command fell to the ground, with an expression of some struggle on his face, but the red light in his eyes did not recede because of this. His eyes were still full of dullness and madness after being controlled. He stood up and swayed twice, dragging his feet and crawling towards the car. His trembling hands directly pinched one of the two participants in the car. He squeezed and pulled hard with his claws. The neck of the participant he caught tilted and stopped breathing.
"Interesting, it only restricts the mental level? Behavior cannot be controlled? It only stops what you shouldn't say, but doesn't stop what you shouldn't do? Doesn't that mean that you are blocked from the information about Prometheus and the secrets of the legion while being controlled by GEASS? In essence, you still have to obey What does King's Command mean? "Xiao Ran turned to look at Lelouch and thought, "You said that this situation is actually because of him? Or is it the only force that resists participants in this world?"
Lelouch glanced at Xiao Ran: "It seems that they can't completely resist my order, but this order also made him struggle. As you said, there may be some kind of limit. If Mental Power is higher, he should ignore my order and then wake up quickly. The only way to be on the safe side is to give other orders and then kill them quickly."
"Just pay attention to yourself." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "The goal of these people is undoubtedly Area 11. They need a huge number of Sakura Stone to develop themselves. There should be more people eyeing me and Euphemia, and maybe it will also affect Nanalie."
Lelouch hesitated, but did not speak but waited for Xiao Ran to continue.
"But similarly, as Area 11 ZERO who resists the power of the empire, 100% will be within their attention and will definitely look for you. In the end, there are two outcomes. The first is that someone is willing to join Black Knights, use Black Knights to seize the dominance of Area 11 to obtain more Sakura Stone. There are also people who join me to deal with Black Knights for the same reason."
"The second possibility is that they don't choose to join, but choose to control, but the goal will still be the same, which is to obtain more Sakura Stone. They can't control me, but it won't be that easy to control you. Your GEASS ability is enough to counterattack. It is more likely that we and them will fight against each other to see who can fool whom. Our advantage is that they don't know that we are actually in the same group."
"So if there are such people who join us, we can completely consume their power in harmony. They are not using us, but we are using them, so that they can steal the chicken but lose the rice. But those who sincerely want to join Black Knights can really attract them."
Lelouch nodded slowly. "If this is the case, there may be a way to connect us, and we must ensure that my true identity will not be leaked."
Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and threw Communication device to Lelouch: "I will use this contact from now on. If it is you, I don't think I need to teach you how to use it. In addition, we still need to establish the factory as soon as possible. The power in our own hands is the real power."
"Don't worry." Lelouch took the communicator and put it on his body, and said, "The factory matters have been finalized. I have made arrangements in Osaka. We can start as soon as the materials are in place. However, the personnel are still being collected, so it may take some time."
"I will also help you look for it." Xiao Ran groaned and said, "As for the supplies, I will also try to provide a batch to you as soon as possible."
Lelouch looked at the two fools and the foursome in the car, waved his hand gently to Xiao Ran and turned around to leave. "I'm leaving first. Nanalie is safer with you, so I ask you to continue to take care of them."
Xiao Ran nodded and watched Lelouch leave. He glanced at the two people behind him and used it again to knock out the two people who were still alive. He went in to check and found that the guy who was strangled happened to be the guy who was monitoring Governor's Mansion. After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran got into the cab again and sent the two guys back to the special dispatch.
These two guys were all given GEASS and ordered to forget everything that happened today. In this way, if you send them back, you don't have to worry too much about what happened today. However, even if Xiao Ran is exposed, they don't think it has anything to do with it. They just hit the mountain to shock the tiger and shock the Empire's Legion of Scarlet Knights.
