Arrival

After confirming Crimson Knights's participation in the war and the Sakura Stone supplement provided by Area 11, even if the large-scale battle operation arrangements for Area 19 are halfway completed, the real main force in this battle is Xiao Ran And Crimson Knights, as for Area 19, the original Military Strength was just assisting, and Lelouch heard Xiao Ran say that Cornelia would fully cooperate, and he probably understood something in his heart.

The real reason why Xiao Ran chose to contact Corgi at this time was not simply to have Corgi send a combat force that could determine the situation of the battle, nor to remind Corgi of the consequences of his next actions. The real reason was to give Corgi and Crimson Knights a chance to prepare in advance.

Xiao Ran doesn't know how many units Crimson Knights has unsealed and not exposed at this time. One or ten units cannot completely bring a decisive advantage to the continent where Area 19 is now located. In Xiao Ran's expectation, although Crimson Knights was admitted to the most powerful force, Britannia, its own development is extremely backward, so the number of unsealed units will definitely not be too many, and they will mainly be low-level units.

That's why Xiao Ran deliberately contacted Corgi. This is to let Corgi know in advance that Area 19 now has a large batch of Sakura Stone waiting for him to receive it. Then you can do some first The preparation is to convert all the Sakura Stone that Crimson Knights has collected into machines, but people will come in advance to receive Sakura Stone, and there will be a time difference to use this batch of Sakura Stone There is no problem with coming to unblock the body, instead of coming inexplicably and finding so many Sakura Stone here, and suddenly changing into such a shape after accepting Sakura Stone for no reason. Multiple mechas are coming out, so Xiao Ran is basically deliberately giving Corgi a reason to reasonably get more powerful mechas. From this aspect, Xiao Ran is very well-intentioned and thinking about Corgi.

The next development was not much different from what Xiao Ran expected. On the second day, Corgi took the lead in leading a group of Crimson Knights members to arrive at Area 19 in a low-key manner. They even ran over without even bringing a single machine body. When we arrived at the Area 19 main base where Xiao Ran is located, it was already the afternoon here. This speed can be said to be extremely fast. Basically, we were ready, selected the time, arranged the plane, and left the capital of Britannia directly.

The only thing that surprised Xiao Ran was that the Corgi arrived too early. The Sakura Stone that was to be shipped from Area 11 at this time may not have been shipped yet. Before Area 19 and Sakura Stone were all collected, the Corgis came over with people, and they were quite low-key. They flew over without even a single escort plane.

When Corgi arrived, Xiao Ran was still working in his office. It was the young female secretary who was selected by others and wore a hip-hugging short skirt who informed Xiao Ran. Only then did Xiao Ran realize that Corgi flew over from the capital in a hurry. Xiao Ran saw Corgi in his office not long after.

Seeing Corgi walk into his office, Xiao Ran also stood up from his chair and walked towards Corgi with a smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand to be very polite. "Welcome, Commander Corgi of Crimson Knights is here. For the time being, I will welcome the arrival of Knight Koji on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of Princess Cornelia and Area 19."

"You're welcome." Corgi also acted very polite and had a sense of distance. He shook Xiao Ran's hand lightly and immediately let go, saying, "I came here this time because of His Majesty the Emperor's will. I know Area 19 will have a big move soon. I came here in advance to understand the situation here first, and also need to discuss the future combat plan with Knight Lelouch and Princess Cornelia."

Xiao Ran nodded slightly, glanced at the secretary standing by the door and said, "Go and invite Princess Cornelia. I'm preparing a pot of tea to bring over. Crimson Knights Captain Ke Ji's arrival at Area 19 is not allowed to be leaked to the outside world for the time being."

"Okay, Governor." The female secretary nodded with a formal expression, turned around and left the office with a gentle step, and closed the door of the office.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, raised his hand gently to signal Corgi to sit next to him, and waited until the two of them sat down separately before continuing, "Knight Koji was a little too anxious to come here this time, and he came directly without any notice. I didn't make any preparations."

Corgi smiled and looked around. Seeing Corgi like this, Xiao Ran also waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I have thoroughly checked this place and there is nothing wrong with it."

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, Ke Ji felt relieved and said, "I heard Knight Lelouch you said that there are a lot of Sakura Stone waiting for me to come and receive them. You also know that we have been receiving threats from Charles and there is no way to get too many Sakura Stone. Suddenly hearing this news really made me restless and rushed over immediately."

"And by adopting this method this time, we don't want the enemy to notice our movements and affect the next operations. As for the aircraft, as soon as the battle begins, I guarantee that these aircraft will definitely appear where Knight Lelouch you want them to appear."

Xiao Ran laughed, "It's not the problem, it's that you came too early. The Sakura Stone I said in the communication is not ready yet. The Sakura Stone 0 shipped from Area 11 It is estimated that will not be able to set off until later. Sakura Stone's reserves of Area 19 are also being mobilized and collected. There is currently no way for you to receive those Sakura Stone."

I don't know if Corgi has been prepared for it. There is no Sakura Stone here now, or there is no Sakura Stone that can satisfy him. Corgi didn't show any expression of dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled indifferently, "I expected this. After all, according to normal circumstances, we Crimson Knights It will still take some time to get here. I am completely relieved that you have made the arrangements, so the main reason for coming here in advance is to communicate with you Lelouch about the future combat plan. In addition, I also need Lelouch to make some advance arrangements for the arrival of the Crimson Knights force."

"Knight Koji It would be best if you could understand." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "We will wait until Princess Cornelia comes over to discuss the specific combat plan. If you have any needs here, just tell me."

Corgi nodded and said, "I hope that my people will have a separate base for them to use after they come here."

"That's no problem. Area 19 can completely set aside a base for you to use." Xiao Ran heard what was going on and said with a smile, "Originally, according to my idea, Crimson Knights will not be broken up, and it will be established on the scale of your own legion. To make arrangements, it will be independent of the local military structure and will be used as the real main combat force to conduct specialized operations that are different from conventional combat forces. Therefore, it only needs to complete the arranged combat objectives. Of course, sometimes you may be required to cooperate with some operations, but in general, the local army should cooperate with you."

Corgi also laughed. What he was worried about was that Xiao Ran would be afraid that Crimson Knights's combat power would be split and then placed into regular combat power. That would be equivalent to forcibly opening the palms of hands that were clenched into fists, which would have a great impact on Crimson Knights's combat power. This would This will lead to them being easily targeted by the hostile Participant Legion when they are not strong enough. Now Xiao Ran has made up his mind to keep them organized and will also give them a certain degree of independence. This will of course be a good thing for a Participant Legion.

Corgi didn't know that Xiao Ran was a participant. He just thought that after they took refuge in Lelouch and accepted the binding of GEASS or tasks, they did receive attention, support and trust, instead of trying every possible means to break them up and restrict them like Charles. This also made Corgi feel very comfortable.

But it is precisely because Xiao Ran, as a participant, is very clear about the action and combat modes of the participants, and has a relatively basic guess about the strength of Crimson Knights. Knowing that Crimson Knights does not exist at all, or there are very few people who can People who can change the situation of the battle with a single force, that's why they choose to keep Crimson Knights in the system. If there are a few people like Zeng Jia in Crimson Knights, there is no need to make them clenched into fists. If they are scattered, they can beat Hostile Legion until he cries for his father and mother.

As the two chatted, Cornelia knocked on the door twice and walked in. After seeing Xiao Ran and Corgi in the office, he approached the two with a faint smile and proactively extended his right hand towards Corgi: "This is Knight Koji Well, although I haven't actually met him, I have heard of Knight Koji's name many times. Thank you very much for coming to Area 19 to help us, and also thank Crimson Knights for your continued support and help to Area 19."

Corgi also stood up. He also had never met Cornelia, but he clearly knew that this person was currently the most influential person in the military among the Royal Family, and he was also Area 19 Cornelia, the governor of, now coming to Area 19 is equivalent to working under Cornelia, and Corgi is very polite about this.

"Princess Cornelia is very complimentary. As a member of the empire, doing our best for the empire is also our duty as Crimson Knights."

"We are all our own people, there is no need to be so polite." Xiao Ran glanced at Cornelia and said with a faint smile, "Princess Cornelia is also one of Your Highness Lelouch's supporters, so we are all our own people, and we are also equal to Area 19 has become the territory of Your Highness Lelouch, so Knight Koji, what this combat operation in Area 19 really helps is not Charles, but Your Highness Lelouch."

"Now Your Highness Lelouch already has help from Area 11 and Area 19, and there is also Princess Cornelia, who has a very high reputation in the military. Once we resolve Area 19's war, Princess Cornelia's reputation and Crimson Knights's reputation will become even higher, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Corgi's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Xiao Ran in surprise, then at Cornelia: "I see, then everyone is really one of our own, Princess Cornelia, Lelouch·Knight Xiao You can rest assured that Crimson Knights will definitely send the most powerful force in this battle and use all its strength to calm Area 19's war."

Corgi was not surprised that Xiao Ran could take down Cornelia. After all, Xiao Ran had shown that special power in front of him. At the same time, Xiao Ran also said that he had the ability to make others surrender. There would be no surprise at all against an ordinary person like Cornelia.

For Cornelia, Xiao Ran suddenly said this, and then Corgi said such words again, which made her completely sure that Crimson Knights was indeed on Xiao Ran's side and supported her brother who she had not seen for a long time to become the emperor, and this also made Cornelia sigh feebly in her heart.

Crimson Knights is now the strongest military force of Britannia. It can be said that its combat effectiveness is absolutely crushing all the forces under the entire Britannia Army party system. With such forces choosing to support Lelouch, it can be said that there is no suspense about the empire changing its fate, and it is also There is Xiao Ran, a guy who has never been completely seen by Cornelia from the beginning to the end, and makes people feel more mysterious and terrifying. This empire is still in the hands of Charles. It can only be said that Xiao Ran and Crimson Knights really can't spare the time now.

Xiao Ran stood up and nodded to Cornelia, then walked to his desk, picked up a map, and walked back, spreading the map on the table in front of him, and said to the two of them, "I have already made the combat arrangements. Sit down first, and I will tell you about the next arrangements."

Cornelia sat down expressionlessly, and Corgi smiled disdainfully when he saw Cornelia's appearance, then sat down and looked at the map.

Xiao Ran pulled his hand along a red line on the map. It was a very long red line and there were many small icons on both sides of the red line.

"This is the current dividing line between us and the enemy. Both sides have deployed heavy defenses here. From the map, the knights can clearly see that we are currently at a disadvantage, and many of our strongholds here have actually been completely cleared. They only belong to us in name but the initiative is in the hands of the enemy."

"The purpose of this line of defense is to resist, but this resistance can only be used against conventional combat forces. Now both we and the enemy have unconventional Military Strength. In other words, this line of defense used to be a display for the enemy, but now it has become a display for both of us. But for conventional forces, if they want to play a supporting role in normal operations, it has become necessary to break this line of defense to create multiple gaps or completely destroy the line of defense."
