"So fast?" Xiao Ran lowered his head slightly and asked in a slightly puzzled tone, "Now the situation in the empire has become so serious? The people who came here to introduce me to the various War Zone war situations did not tell me this."
Bismark shook his head, and motioned with his eyes and gestures to Xiao Ran to get on the bus. As he walked, he said, "The situation in the empire is indeed very serious now, but it is not so serious that we have to send out Knights of the Round Although War Zone has always had large and small armed conflicts, the chaotic situation has been calmed down a lot after Crimson Knights joined. However, this has not affected other hostile forces' eyeing for us."
"You probably wouldn't notice it in a peaceful place in the empire, but every War Zone and Crimson Knights have more or less sent their own forces for support. Now they have become the most powerful elite force belonging to our empire on the battle line. The establishment of Knights Order has gradually gained a lot of supporters, and its prestige and momentum are growing. It can compete with other bases in terms of strength. Because their strength is needed, their opinions have become something that each district has to pay attention to."
"But you know, although Crimson Knights has the organization of Knights Order, they are not actually knights themselves."
After Bismark said this, Xiao Ran understood everything that followed. He waited until he got in the car and said, "I understand what you mean. You want me to go to the front line to revive Knights of the Round Table's reputation and show off my muscles appropriately, aiming to reduce Crimson Knights's influence on the border troops. Let's belittle them and improve ourselves. After all, Knights of the Round is the Knights Order directly under His Majesty. Although Crimson Knights has the establishment of Knights Order, they are still mercenaries. We cannot allow them to continue to expand their influence on the military. Is that right?"
Xiao Ran was not surprised at all to be able to say these words. Bismark nodded and said, "Yes, in recent times, although Knights of the Round Table has been regarded as the most powerful imperial force, it has not really taken action for a while. Send you this current It is also necessary to show strength to the person we recognize as the most powerful, but you must establish the intention that Knights of the Round is stronger than Crimson Knights, and his identity is higher than Crimson Knights, and you also need to really scare the enemies around you."
"Is this your Majesty's idea?" Xiao Ran pondered and said, "If this is the case, then once it is confirmed that I am going to the front line, I will probably be very busy for a long time, and I will also experience a lot of hard battles. In fact, this is just a performance, haha, and it is also a reminder to Crimson Knights."
Bismark's one eye flickered, and he did not speak, only confirming Xiao Ran's guess with silence. Of course, this is not only to show off the strength to recast Knights of the Round Table's invincible golden body and tell everyone that Knights of the Round Table is the most powerful force in the empire, but also to remind Crimson Knights that even if there is no They can also stabilize the situation of the empire by relying on Knights of the Round alone. If you want to get more support from the empire, you must stick to your duties, don't do things you shouldn't do, and don't try to expand your influence in the border army.
At the same time, it is also reminding the generals of the border army not to do wrong things. Of course, the emperor Charles should not have too many doubts about the loyalty of these frontier soldiers. Throughout Britannia, the military's loyalty to the emperor has always been guaranteed.
Xiao Ran clearly guessed the plans of Charles and Bismark. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ran said, "I won't be the only one going to the front line. I can agree to this matter. I need to attack the border army." There is no problem with reorganization, but if you want to send some supervision team to confirm whether the frontier troops have begun to have anything to do with Crimson Knights, it is best to tell me these things. I don't want there to be any problems within the front line where I appear, but as a commander and soldier, I don't know anything."
Bismark couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows twice, and said in a low voice, "Of course."
Xiao Ran smiled, glanced at Luciano and Monica who were already sitting in the front driver's seat of the car, and said, "Of course, it doesn't make much sense for me to go to the frontier army alone as the main force. After all, people's energy is limited. If these two little guys have no other tasks, just let them follow me. If there are no other arrangements, I can take the other Knights of the Round with them."
Bismark frowned and began to think about the feasibility of this matter, but the situation was indeed as Xiao Ran said. Sending only one Knights of the Round did mean something, but after all, it was impossible to really send only. When a major combat force like Xiao Ran goes to the front line, not to mention that the supervisory team, which has been directly exposed by Xiao Ran, will follow Xiao Ran, and a group of powerful subordinates will definitely be prepared for Xiao Ran to accompany him.
Otherwise, Xiao Ran will still have to use Crimson Knights in frontline battles. This will give Crimson Knights another opportunity to make meritorious deeds and gain reputation, and the purpose of suppression will not be achieved at all. Moreover, there is another factor, which is to continue to establish Xiao Ran's attitude of being hostile to Crimson Knights.
Nowadays, Crimson Knights's power is indispensable, and the result is that one company is the only one. Xiao Ran was selected by Bismark and Charles, and has real The flag of strength and brain is also a chess piece, which is to allow him to suppress Crimson Knights to achieve balance, instead of making the entire Knights of the Round Table completely the opposite of Crimson Knights.
Otherwise, Knights of the Round Table's transcendent status will be affected, and to a certain extent, Crimson Knights will be elevated to an existence equal to Knights of the Round Table, sending a wrong signal to the outside world. After all, only those with equal strength need to contend and balance. This will make other people think that Crimson Knights may be another Knights of the Round Table.
But if there is only Xiao Ran, his hostility to Crimson Knights is just a personal matter. Once Crimson Knights is suppressed, it means that Knights of the Round is more powerful. If Xiao Ran cannot be suppressed, then Xiao Ran will have no use value.
Xiao Ran glanced at Bismark with a half-smile, and said, "Are you really relieved about such a big stall? Even if you are really relieved, I may not be able to handle it alone, and my roots I will always be there at Area 11 Princess Euphemia, and I will handle the things assigned to me, but that doesn't mean I will stay there every day. I will always have to be able to shake things up when I leave."
Bismark took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Ran and nodded, and said solemnly, "I will report to Your Majesty, but only Luciano and Monica can leave with you. I and the other Knights of the Round need to stay here just in case, but I can't guarantee you whether His Majesty agrees."
Xiao Ran smiled and did not continue the topic. He just said, "I have no problem here. I still need to trouble Knight Bismark to help me arrange Transport Aircraft. Lancelot should also send Area 11 back as soon as possible."
"I'll arrange it." Bismark nodded, Xiao Ran also fell silent, and the two people sitting in front didn't speak. The car became quite quiet. Four people, four Knights of the Round, in the same car, holding different ideas, quickly drove away from the training ground where a battle had just ended not long ago.
As for where they were going, Xiao Ran didn't ask. He just closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly, thinking about what Charles and Bismark were still planning. Today's Area 11 is not considered stable, although there are already two Knights of the Round resident in Area 11, representing Charles and Britannia attach great importance to the stability of Area 11, but Bismark should be very clear that those two people are unlikely to be opponents of an organization similar to Crimson Knights, but why must they insist on transferring him away from Area 11 under such uncertain circumstances?
Of course, this may not be directed at him, nor at Euphemia, but Xiao Ran finds it a bit strange. Could it be that Crimson Knights really puts so much pressure on Charles? Does Charles have to continue to build momentum for Knights of the Round Table now? So anxious to suppress the rising reputation of Crimson Knights in the country, what is the purpose of doing so?
In fact, Xiao Ran really never thought that Charles and Bismark would be so anxious, but he had already made mental preparations to leave Area 11 for a short time and go to other War Zone. After all, to become Knights of the Round, he had to show some real achievements, but now let Xiao Ran felt like there was something behind him pushing Charles to do this immediately, which made Xiao Ran really confused. This momentum building was a little too eager, and although the purpose of building momentum for him was to suppress Crimson Knights, and to continue to raise Knights of the Round Table, it was to use him as a gun. But is this really appropriate?
After all, he, Xiao Ran, is the one who has gained the most from this wave of momentum, isn't he? He is simply a rising star in the empire. Is this to establish him as the most powerful and prestige person in Knights of the Round besides Bismark?
But on second thought, Bismark may have never cared about Britannia so much. This country is just a tool for him. His real purpose is to create a new world. For this, he is probably willing to pay more, and this guy is also a person with an extremely complicated inner world.
If Xiao Ran and Crimson Knights are the chess pieces used by Charles to create a new world, and the real purpose is not to stabilize the current chaotic situation of Britannia NUMBER, then it is estimated that Charles may have a deeper plan in mind, and Bismark is just a simple executor.
So Anya, the possessed person of Marianne, appears in Area 11, is it also part of the plans of Charles and Marianne? Could it be that pushing Xiao Ran to stand up was not only to suppress Crimson Knights, but also to divert him away from Area 11, and to attract Crimson Knights and other forces to him? Then let Marianne, who only has his soul and spirit left, do something else in Area 11?
It is difficult for Xiao Ran to understand this for the time being, but at least one thing is somewhat certain, that is, no matter what these two people are planning, the ultimate goal is not him, but just using him as a tool and chess piece.
When Luciano's car drove to the palace again, what happened next was not too surprising to Xiao Ran. It was another cocktail party, but this one was just for him. It really introduced Xiao Ran to the entire Britannia real princes and nobles, and also gave Xiao Ran a better understanding of these people. As a basic impression, the status was different at this time. Although there was no real noble title, Knights of the Round was still fawned over by many people. However, Charles did not appear at all during the whole reception. Bismark only stayed for a short while and left. Even Crimson Knights, who failed in the battle, did not have anyone participating.
Until the end of the reception, Bismark did not appear again, and no one informed Xiao Ran about selecting a body from Crimson Knights.
After leaving the palace, Xiao Ran also went directly back to the place where he temporarily lived. However, not long after closing the door, Xiao Ran disappeared from the suite, put on other clothes and quietly left the capital for the countryside outside.
When Xiao Ran arrived, the black Variable Fighter was parked in a dark place at the corner of a cliff, where it was difficult to be noticed. And right in front of Variable Fighter, was dressed in black and holding a helmet. Lelouch, and Saki Maski, who was also wearing identical clothes, were sitting in front of a bonfire. When they heard the footsteps, the two stood up immediately. After seeing that the person coming was Xiao Ran, the two people who were originally on guard also relaxed.
Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to say hello to the two of them with a smile. He walked to the side of the bonfire and nodded lightly to Lelouch: "I've been waiting for a long time."
"It didn't take long." Lelouch held the helmet belonging to ZERO, raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran calmly. "Congratulations, the second Knights of the Round, Lelouch Mr. Xiao."
"You're welcome." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he also smiled slightly at Saki Maski: "Thank you."
Saki Maski smiled and shook his head, gently smoothing the hair behind him. "Do you need me to do anything this time?"
"Just let Lelouch and I go there in a moment. You pilot the machine and stay nearby. If there is any danger, I will contact you as soon as possible."
Lelouch frowned slightly, feeling that he was in a bad mood for some reason, so he said directly, "What on earth did you want to do by calling us here?"
"Go and make a deal, a deal that only your identity can make." Xiao Ran looked at Lelouch and said calmly, "Once this deal is reached, you will get the most from Britannia As a powerful elite force, it will also gain the loyalty of a group of people within this country as quickly as possible, and it only takes a short time for you or Nanalie to become the ninety-ninth emperor of Britannia."
