Chapter 2448 Character
(This should be 2525~~)
Selucius's invitation Lelouch couldn't refuse. He nodded and prepared to follow Selucius to leave the airport. It's not that he didn't know the so-called Roaring Lion Legion nowadays. It can't be considered final at all. The two parties have only reached the basic premise of cooperation. If you want to go back on it at any time, leaving with the other party is equivalent to leaving your life in the hands of others, but Lelouch has to do this.
Selucius sent a friendly invitation, and he also needed to show his courage and trust to the other party. It was like gambling. No one could tell what would happen until the final outcome was revealed. Moreover, Lelouch was also quite confident in his own ability. Although he felt a little weak, his performance was still quite generous and natural.
As for Corgi, as Xiao Ran specially arranged to protect Lelouch, and because of the mission, he also had to ensure that Lelouch was safe and sound. The current situation has become a bit difficult. After all, between Crimson Knights and Roaring Lion Legion As an opponent before, Corgi really didn't dare to risk his own life. He didn't drive the machine into the base camp of another Participant Legion and was still on a mission. So how bold and ignorant can he be as a participant to do such a thing? Being here now is enough to make Corgi's hair stand on end and his nerves tense.
But being in the machine body is still safe. After all, as a not weak pilot, he can also bring a great threat to the low-level pilots of the Roaring Lion Legion, and can also be used as a deterrent. But if he really jumps out of the machine body, what will really happen will be like heaven and earth.
It's not that I don't know anything about the Roaring Lion Legion Corgis. Although they are the opponents in this mission, they are also part of the Super Zone legion. In Super Zone, no matter what, there will be situations where you look up but don't look down. In terms of the comprehensive strength of the body corps, Roaring Lion Legion is the same as their Crimson Knights. Super Zone is the middle and upper level corps, and the overall strength should be higher than Crimson Knights.
However, from the intelligence collected about the Roaring Lion Legion, Corgi only knew that the members of this legion seemed to be very united, small in size but very powerful, and they had the opportunity to become a potential stock in the higher-level legion. It was rumored that Legion Leader Selucius had experienced several very dangerous missions but had successfully passed them in the end, and its strength had grown rapidly. One piece of information improved in the intelligence is also worth noting, that is, their reputation seems to be very good?
As long as we can reach an agreement with them during the mission, there is no need to worry that Roaring Lion Legion will break the agreement. Apart from this, there are not many things that can be collected to represent Roaring Lion Legion's reputation, so it is a bit unclear how such rumors came about. It is just that there have always been such rumors among the large group of intermediate corps.
In addition, the previous Roaring Lion Legion was not Selucius, and Roaring Lion Legion at that time was not that powerful. Selucius was favored by Legion Leader. Among them, Legion Leader became Legion Leader after a certain mission. Because of his rapid growth, excellent personnel, and strong strength, he was not opposed by other members of the legion. He then led the legion to climb to its current position step by step, which feels like a counterattack.
As for how Selucius's strength improved, when he became a participant, and how many missions it took to develop to this level of strength, there is no way to know.
However, it is not known why the previous Legion Leader passed the position to Selucius. After all, this is the internal affairs of other people's legions and cannot be leaked so easily. In Corgi's opinion, the result is nothing more than two or three reasons. The first one died, and the second one was converted into Resident Prometheus, the third one is quitting the legion, but considering the original strength of the Roaring Lion Legion, the first reason is much more likely, but if it is the third reason, what will the story be like? Corgi doesn't know how to guess.
Therefore, whether Roaring Lion Legion is really reputable, or whether it is a pretense of good reputation, Corgi really dare not bet on it. Even if the rumors are true, it is better for participants to have some vigilance and suspicion.
In this case, Corgi chose a safer approach, which was to temporarily turn a deaf ear to what happened next. Although he wanted to ensure the safety of Lelouch, he could only act as Lelouch's safety in the body. Fully guaranteed. Secondly, although he cannot follow Lelouch to confirm his situation, he can still have other people follow Lelouch as a guard if he doesn't go. He can also learn of any changes as soon as possible.
The last point is because of Xiao Ran. It was Xiao Ran who called Lelouch, and it was Xiao Ran who called him Corgi. To be honest, compared to Lelouch, Corgi feels that Xiao Ran is more trustworthy. Xiao Ran must be sure that he will call them over, let alone Xiao Ran and Selucius has a premeditated plan to get at him, and as long as Xiao Ran continues to surround Roaring Lion Legion as a threat, the possibility that Roaring Lion Legion will not dare to mess around will be very, very high, and now Roaring Lion Legion The coordinates of 's base camp have been confirmed. As long as Xiao Ran comes to attack, it will be 100% sure to wipe out the Roaring Lions. Corgi also has the confidence and courage to persist until Xiao Ran arrives.
Having made the decision, Corgi opened private communication and arranged for a skilled subordinate to follow Lelouch. He sat in the cabin as steady as an old dog. Lelouch, who was only guarded by one person, did not show dissatisfaction or fear. He also felt relieved in his heart. He also felt that Corgi sitting on the aircraft could better ensure his life safety.
But the last participant who was arranged to get off the plane and follow Lelouch had a face as calm as ice and a heart as anxious as fire.
After the escort participant stood next to Lelouch, Selucius also took a look at Corgi's body. He smiled generously without showing any provocation. He also understood Corgi's choice. He smiled and said to Lelouch, "The pilot of that body over there is Britannia Z. The machine piloted by Z Crimson Knights leader Knight Koji, it seems that he really cares about your safety, ZERO, but please rest assured that Knight Koji, anyone who wants to harm you in this place must first step over the bodies of all our Roaring Lion Legion members."
Lelouch saw the seriousness revealed in the other party's eyes, and the face under the mask was stunned for a moment, and then returned Selucius a smile, "I believe in Commander Selucius's sincerity, then my safety here is completely left to you, please."
"Please follow me."
Corgi watched Lelouch, Selucius and his men enter a building and disappear from his eyes. The communication in the cockpit suddenly sounded, and the hesitant voice of a subordinate also reached his ears.
"Um... boss... is this really okay? I mean, let Lelouch and Sipu go in alone?"
Corgi's eyebrows twitched twice and he said angrily, "Then do you want me to ask you to follow me immediately? What's the use of you just saying this now?"
"Hey, no, no, no, I think it's good to stay in the machine. Anyway, the other side doesn't dare to do anything to Lelouch and Sipu. If we fight desperately in their base, their losses will not be small. And when the masked knight comes, they will be the only ones unlucky. Boss, you are wise, put aside the original conflict and turn such a powerful guy into our ally."
Corgi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this. He turned Masked Man into their ally, but they were clearly forced to become his subordinates by two Lelouch.
However, Corgi would not be modest in front of his men. He snorted and said, "It's not wise to lead you through so many missions again and again. Well, shut up and be careful."
"Yes, boss."
Corgi shook his head, pulled out the keyboard, wrote a text message and sent it quickly. The destination of this message was naturally the Area 19 frontline base, but it was not sent to the frontline base, but to the subordinates who stayed at the frontline base, asking them to tell them about the current situation of Xiao Ran and Cornelia.
Xiao Ran, on the other hand, nodded after receiving the notification from Corgi's subordinates. He was satisfied with the fact that Corgi did not follow Lelouch, but instead chose to stay in the machine body at the expense of face. However, as for Selucius, Xiao Ran felt that that guy should indeed be a man who is consistent with his appearance, not the kind of person who makes promises but then regrets things.
Then Corgi would send a message from time to time to say that everything was normal. Xiao Ran also continued to pay attention to the situation of Lelouch and Corgi. Finally, after several hours, Corgi sent a message and had started to return, and Xiao Ran had a look on his face. He smiled because he received a prompt, a very simple prompt that the annexation of forces could be expanded. Xiao Ran did not expect such a prompt to appear, but it was completely certain that Roaring Lion Legion had become a member of Black Knights.
Not long after, Xiao Ran's communicator rang because of Lelouch's call. The communication was connected, and Lelouch, who took off his helmet, appeared on the Communication device screen of Xiao Ran.
Lelouch did not wait for Xiao Ran to speak first, but with a slightly proud smile, "Everything goes well, Rebel Army officially merged into Black Knights and became Black Knights's independent force will resume activities under the name Black Knights after a short break, but I have no specific arrangements yet, and I need to discuss with you how to arrange them."
"Thank you." Xiao Ran nodded with a smile and said, "I have to think about the specific arrangements. Area 11 Black Knights's current strength is enough, so there is no need to send them to Area 11 to replenish their strength, you can also think about how to arrange them and use their strength to make Black Knights's reputation bigger, instead of being limited to the small place of Area 11."
Lelouch also agreed and said, "Well, Area 11 does not need much power anymore. Under such circumstances, if we want Black Knights to develop again, it is indeed time to move outside."
Xiao Ran said, "I do have some ideas. After a while, I will also need them to cooperate with me in Area 19 to carry out an operation. In the name of Black Knights, Area 19 will gain a certain advantage and intervene to terminate the war. However, I haven't figured out how to do it specifically, and it will take a week."
Lelouch's mouth curled up when he heard Xiao Ran's words. "If you have such an idea, it may be difficult to rely on their strength to do it."
Xiao Ran expressed doubts. "Huh?"
Lelouch said, "Although the other party's willingness to join Black Knights is a major prerequisite for you and them to confirm, the other party is not completely unconditional. They are willing to help Black Knights do things, but It was Selucius who made it clear that he would never go against the people of the EU and would not participate in any military operations against the EU. According to his wishes, he would rather leave this War Zone or develop externally."
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Ran groaned, and probably guessed what Selucius was thinking. After all, Selucius's legion and the EU's Participant Legion once belonged to an alliance. Although it is unclear to what extent the alliance is, they are acting together. It is timely and helpless to withdraw from the alliance. Choosing not to conflict with the EU is purely a matter of character.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran said, "In this case, there is no need to force them. The other party can put forward such conditions after joining us. As I said before, the other party's character is trustworthy. It should be a gratifying thing for us. There is no need to alienate them who have just joined us because of this kind of thing."
"I thought so too, so I agreed to Selucius's condition at that time." Lelouch said, "And their combat power is indeed very high. Being able to join Black Knights is already a great addition, but what should you do next?, you want to use the name of Black Knights to intervene in the war, and you also want to prevent the EU from facing the two forces of Britannia and Black Knights at the same time, so as to temporarily maintain the advantage gained and the time for next actions."
"But without Roaring Lion Legion from Selucius, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve the goal you want to achieve by relying solely on the direct combat power of Black Knights. After all, this requires absolute force to achieve."
"There is still one week left, so all expectations can only be pinned on one week later."
"A week?"
"That's right, there is still one week left. The machine body that Lloyd built for me will be completed in one week. And as long as that machine body is completed... even if I am the only one, I will be able to do such a thing."
