Chapter 2392 Chapter 2457-2458 Benchmark
In the dedicated passage, two followers, Jeremiah and Vireta, each carrying a special large backpack, followed Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran had nothing in his hands and was wearing a black non-standard uniform. He walked out with a steady pace.
As soon as he walked out of the passage, he saw a long row of white motorcade parked outside the passage, and also saw Bismark wearing his Knights of the Round uniform standing outside the passage.
Seeing Xiao Ran coming out, Bismark also smiled and nodded at Xiao Ran. At the same time, his one-eyed gaze swept over Jeremiah and Vireta behind him, but ignored them directly.
Xiao Ran walked up to Bismark, took another look at the fleet of seven or eight white cars of the same style, and smiled at Bismark, "Knight Bismark, please come and pick me up in person."
Bismark smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Originally, I recommended you to His Majesty, but now you have become Knights of the Round. My coming to pick you up is a beginning and an end. Your current status of Knights of the Round is enough for me to come here personally."
With that said, Bismark raised his hand and said, "There is no need to be polite here, let's go, His Majesty is still waiting for you."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and followed Bismark into the car in the middle. Jeremiah and Vireta also sat under the leadership of others. After getting into another car, the two of them were carrying specially-made backpacks. The square backpack was a head taller than the two of them, but the things inside were not for the two of them at all, but belonged to the empty-handed Xiao Ran.
Jeremiah and Vireta didn't know what was inside the backpack, and they didn't dare to open it to take a look without Xiao Ran's permission. However, it was still a little heavy to carry on their backs, but considering their physical fitness, it wasn't a big deal.
They didn't know what was inside, but Xiao Ran knew that in fact, these two backpacks were filled with important information that could guarantee their absolute safety during this trip and allow them to survive any unexpected situation in this dust filter and leave safely. The props are also Xiao Ran's special weapons and portable BITs. Even if there is no body, as long as these two backpack portable BITs are by your side, even if B-class Mecha is chasing Xiao Ran, you will be sure to escape unscathed.
The mainland of the empire can be said to be the most prosperous place in the entire Britannia, but there are also many threats hidden under this prosperity. The Scarlet Knights of the legion who joined the empire are one, and the religious order controlled by V. V is also one. The power of the latter is The threat is not big, but the former are composed of participants after all, and this time they will more or less deal with each other. Without preparing something to ensure their own safety, how could Xiao Ran really come here empty-handed without even bringing the machine body.
After getting in the car, the team left the dedicated airport and headed all the way to the palace. In the car, the expression on Bismark's face was not as relaxed as before Xiao Ran got in the car. He raised the armrest beside him and lowered a partition in front to create a separate space.
"Jino contacted me before you came here and told me some situations. The person who monitored Princess Euphemia before, are you sure he said he was Crimson Knights?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded lightly and said, "But not one, but three. One of them is monitoring near the Governor's Mansion, and the other two have sneaked into the special mission. I don't need to tell you the purpose. It's just that I haven't alerted the snake yet, so I only asked Lloyd to monitor these two guys."
"There are two more people who have sneaked into the special mission!?" Bismark's face showed slight astonishment, and then he nodded calmly. "You did a good job in getting rid of the monitor, and you did the right thing in letting Lloyd monitor the other two, and you were not exposed when you took down that person?"
"Ha." Xiao Ran smiled softly and said, "Of course it's impossible. No one knows who killed their surveillance personnel. Just like what the person said, the forces now targeting Area 11 also There are more than one or two, so what if they might guess that it was me who did it, this matter can only end here. As long as the empire continues to use their power, and they also need the resources of the empire, there will never be any problems between the two sides because of this matter."
"If you really choose to take revenge because of one person, then I can only say that the person who leads Crimson Knights is stupid enough."
Bismark was silent for a moment and asked, "How much do you know about the Scarlet Knight?"
Xiao Ran shook his head. "I'm not too sure. I can't ask that person about something too confidential. I only know that they were originally mercenaries. They probably have the same armed strength as the group that attacked Princess Cornelia. They should. It is said to be a powerful armed force. As for why they joined the empire, I don't know the reason and how, but they have special needs for Sakura Stone, so they need to rely on the resources of the empire to obtain more Sakura Stone."
"Yes, they have special needs for the power of Sakura Stone." Bismark nodded and said, "These people have a brand-new body, which is different from the KF we currently use, but is similar to the KF we currently use. The Lloyd is also a brand-new structure. Once used, this type of machine will consume a considerable amount of Sakura Stone. The more Sakura Stone it goes into battle, the more Sakura Stone it will consume."
"Although this force has joined the Empire, it is also a completely independent team that only obeys His Majesty's orders. Even I don't know much about Crimson Knights, but I know that His Majesty also assigned a research institute to them and spent a lot of money to let them join the Empire. But now that this incident has happened, I really doubt whether this Crimson Knights has any other purpose for joining the Empire."
Xiao Ran groaned, and never thought of being too direct or trying too hard to provoke the relationship between the group of Scarlet Knight participants and Knights of the Round and even the empire. Whether Crimson Knights is good or bad, it is best for people like Bismark to discover it themselves. Talking too much is not a good thing.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ran said, "There should be a purpose, otherwise they would not send people to monitor Princess Euphemia and want to control His Highness. This means that they must have taken a fancy to something in Area 11, and this thing besides Sakura Stone It can't be anything other than. This also shows that their demand for Sakura Stone is actually far beyond our imagination. But what to use Sakura Stone for, I guess it can only be something like a weapon body."
"And they should be more familiar with the situation of the mysterious forces currently appearing in the world. These forces that suddenly appeared have an urgent desire for Sakura Stone. But at least it is certain that the Scarlet Knight and other emerging forces should be in a hostile relationship, otherwise they would not choose this method. If these forces really unite, pardon me, from what I know, they can directly overthrow the entire empire."
"It is precisely because of the mutual opposition between them that a strange balance has emerged in the current state, and they have chosen different forces, that is, the Empire, EU or other forces to join, and want to use the power and resources of these forces to develop themselves, so From the current point of view, the empire and Crimson Knights should complement each other. There should be no conflict except for Sakura Stone, and they are really working for the empire, otherwise they would not be so concerned about the stability of the empire."
"I think that if you don't know much about the Scarlet Knight, but His Majesty is willing to entrust the Scarlet Knight with important tasks, it is very likely that there is some other secret between His Majesty and the Scarlet Knight that we don't understand. However, as long as both parties have a good basis for cooperation and the same purpose, and the other party has indeed chosen to join the Empire and is willing to work for the Empire, then the two parties who have just started to get along will be a little distrustful of each other, and it is reasonable to make some small moves."
"And they should also be worried that other forces will reach out to Area 11. It is barely understandable to do some things. In politics and gaming, there is no way to confirm it with a simple stance of who is right and who is wrong. These are relatively fair views."
Having said this, Xiao Ran smiled again, "But let me tell you my personal opinion, that is, they are monitoring and preparing to control Princess Euphemia to obtain more Sakura Stone in Area 11. Of course, it is not so easy to forgive. Even if it is for the sake of the overall situation, I don't mind making them suffer if I have the opportunity."
"Of course." Bismark's eyes narrowed slightly, and it could be seen that Bismark was also in a state of distrust towards the Scarlet Knight, and from his words, Xiao Ran also asked Crimson Knights to come out. Bismark did not know about it, but it was arranged by Emperor Charles.
But at this time, we need to rely on the power of the Scarlet Knight. There are some things that whether Bismark knows or doesn't know, we can only maintain a harmonious attitude between the two parties, hello, me, everyone.
Bismark said, "Let me tell you, the power of Crimson Knights is indeed indispensable now, and I don't know what your Majesty is thinking. It's just that they are getting more and more support on the front line, but for this kind of sudden organization, it is really difficult for me to trust them."
"There is no doubt that their strength is indeed very strong, so I also need to let Knights of the Round develop and grow enough to check and balance them. Only in this way is the best for the empire. This is why after knowing you, I will recommend you to become Knights of the Round, and since His Majesty has agreed to this, he should have seen my idea and is willing to support it. At the same time, Special Envoy Research Institute on Area 11 Lloyd will also become another important factor to check and balance Crimson Knights."
"It's just that everything hasn't really developed yet. Lloyd also needs time. Even if we know that they sent people to monitor Princess Euphemia, we can only pretend not to know. This is also to stabilize them and to stabilize the empire. The empire is currently in a precarious situation and we really need their strength."
"But we can't pin everything on them just because they are powerful. After all, as you said, they also have their own purpose, so I need to create a powerful Knights of the Round to draw more people's attention from those Crimson Knights who don't know the purpose and become the latest benchmark of the empire. I can't, and the current Knights of the Round can't, but I feel you can."
"Not only because of the powerful strength you have shown on a few occasions, but also because of the bravery, calmness, senselessness and sacrifice you have shown in the hostage-taking world, and also because of your outstanding insight and the bond between you and Princess Euphemia, I can feel that you are very strong, and I almost don't have the strength to resist in front of you. Because of this, you have so many advantages, so I think you will definitely become Knights of the Round, and even a new benchmark for the empire."
Xiao Ran turned around and glanced at Bismark who said this in an extremely serious tone. He was silent for a moment, shook his head and said slowly, "I didn't know that you had such a view of me and would place such thoughts on me."
"There is nothing we can do about it, and the world is getting more and more chaotic." Bismark smiled freely, "But whether you have really reached that point, I can't help you much. What you need is your own ability and hard work, but from today on, it will determine the distance and steps you can take to achieve your final goal."
"When you become a benchmark, it will become easier if you and Princess Euphemia want to achieve communion and equality between NUMBER and Britannia people."
"I understand, and I will try my best to satisfy your expectations." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "But if you want me to go to the battlefield without piloting the machine to achieve such a goal, please allow me to choose to refuse."
Bismark laughed, "I also heard from Gino about the machine. The latest machine Lancelot manufactured by the empire's technology cannot keep up with your operation, which is enough to prove your strong strength. Don't worry about the machine for the time being. Lancelot is not the only project that the empire is undertaking and has completed. But speaking of finding a machine that you are satisfied with, it probably won't be easy."
"But we can exchange with Crimson Knights, and use Sakura Stone to exchange them for a body that you can use." After saying this, Bismark shook his head unconsciously. "Crimson Knights The machine in the hands of is not open to the public, which was their previous request, and it has not been given to anyone who does not belong to Crimson Knights, but I feel that if it is you, you have the qualifications to make me pay more."
"Crimson Knights's body." Xiao Ran closed his eyes, then opened his eyes after a long time and smiled, "It's interesting, you can try it."
