Xiao Ran's series of orders were immediately transmitted through the entire Command Center staff. Speaking of it, Xiao Ran's instructions and arrangements this time were not very clever. They just took advantage of the opponent's flaw of going too far alone, and then cut off the opponent's arm, of course together with those who were deeply involved.
There is also a lot of deliberate element in the opponent's lone attack. The main purpose is to test whether Xiao Ran is still Area 19. Taking Britannia Army's Command Center becomes secondary and incidental. Generally speaking, the participants are interested in themselves. Guys who are extremely confident in their strength will take down Command Center after confirming that Xiao Ran is not there. They are not worried about what traps Britannia will set for them. After all, when the strength is strong enough, they can completely ignore those traps.
And once Xiao Ran appears, they can choose to retreat if the siege fails. As for the interruption of the back road, it will not hinder the evacuation of these participants. Another possibility is that all members will be killed by Xiao Ran. How can confident participants think that such a situation will occur, and they are not without cards.
What Xiao Ran captured was the arrogant idea of these participants, which was to completely cut off the hand that reached in. To achieve this goal, of course, powerful force was needed. He was the one who faced the enemy head-on, while Crimson Knights was the one who attacked from the side and completely cut off the enemy's retreat.
This time Xiao Ran will also fly Mazinger Kaiser into the battle, because it is not the time for the aircraft that does not even have an official name to officially debut, because once that aircraft appears, it means that Black Knights has begun to intervene in this war, and there is only one goal that needs to be achieved in the end, to stop this war.
If you want to achieve the effect of Black Knights making another grand appearance, and quickly spread Black Knights's influence, then in Xiao Ran's opinion, the first appearance on this continent must achieve the best effect, and stop the war on this continent at once, but it is definitely not like the current situation where the area occupied by Area 19 is split into two halves by the EU.
Therefore, the best time is to cut off the hand that has penetrated Area 19, and allow Britannia and EU to stalemate under normal conditions again.
After all the arrangements were made, Xiao Ran turned to look at Cornelia: "It is estimated that all preparations will be completed within six hours at the earliest. Considering the need to hide the movement as much as possible, it is actually acceptable to slow down to twelve hours, but don't worry about this. Just arrive at the scheduled combat position before dawn."
Cornelia just nodded, and Xiao Ran said again, "The time is now midnight, and it will be completely dawn in five or six hours. The EU will also continue to attack after dawn. There is no possibility for ordinary troops to resist them. Let the troops on the existing defense line start to evacuate now and evacuate to a place a hundred kilometers away to regroup. After all, there is no point in them staying there."
Cornelia frowned slightly. "But this is inconsistent with our previous behavior. Such an inexplicable retreat will definitely make the other party aware that we have a plan. I am worried that the enemy will be prepared."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Ran said calmly, "The withdrawal of the defensive forces is not to delay time, nor to create suspicion. It is just to prevent our actions from being discovered and causing the other party to use force to defeat the plot and cause unnecessary losses. As long as we take action against the other party There must be a way to know that it is impossible to completely conceal any large-scale combat operation, so as I said before, there is no need to worry about our actions being discovered. Once the other party takes action, I will appear in front of them and intercept their most powerful force."
"The next things here will be left to you to handle. If anything happens, I will contact you directly through communication. You only need to follow my instructions and issue the corresponding orders."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he nodded to Cornelia and was about to turn around and leave. Cornelia was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Ran turning around and walking away, and then quickly said, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Ran said without looking back, "Of course you are going to receive my body. From now on Command Center will be sealed and no one is allowed to leave."
At this time, Mazinger Kaiser's previous strategy of Xiao Ran did not remain in this stronghold, so if he wanted to fly Mazinger Kaiser to attack and give the enemy a sudden blow, it would naturally be impossible to receive the machine in this crowded stronghold.
After leaving Command Center, Xiao Ran left the base without much delay and drove the car all the way towards Crimson Knights's station. Of course, he didn't really want to go to Crimson Knights's station, but just headed in that direction. In fact, after only driving for more than an hour, Xiao Ran turned in one direction and headed to another place.
When I got off the bus, I saw Mazinger Kaiser and several Crimson Knights machines standing in the wilderness, as well as bonfires and figures under the machines.
When Xiao Ran walked towards the bonfire, several people around the bonfire also stood up. The leader of them was Corgi, the leader of Crimson Knights. He walked up to Xiao Ran in a few steps, laughed loudly and patted Xiao Ran hard. 's shoulder. "Knight Lelouch, you are finally back. As soon as I received your message, I brought your body here immediately. The fight during your absence was so uncomfortable and frustrating. Your return also means that we can finally fight back, hahaha."
Xiao Ran nodded, glanced at the person behind Corgi and said, "We will start counterattack after dawn. This time we will deal with all those who have penetrated deep into our territory."
"Okay, I have been suppressed by those guys on the opposite side, and I have been holding my breath for a long time and want to vent it out." Corgi nodded fiercely and said, "I have read the order sent by Command Center. I have arranged part of the force to go to the dividing line to support the defenders. The main force will be left to deal with those arrogant guys. What to do specifically will follow your arrangements Knight Lelouch."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded, walked slowly to the campfire with Corgi and sat down, and said, "The order given to Crimson Knights just now is not clear enough. At that time, you only need to cooperate with me to encircle and intercept the enemy's main force. In fact, there are not many people needed in this regard. With Knight Koji Just add some of Crimson Knights's advanced combat power to your help. Crimson Knights's main job is to annihilate the enemies on the EU extension path, completely destroy and cut off the retreat route of the main force at the front, and intercept and delay the opponent's retreat."
Xiao Ran said that Corgi easily understood Xiao Ran's plan, which was to let Crimson Knights's real high-level combat power cooperate with Xiao Ran to launch a surprise attack on the most advanced participants in the EU. During the attack, some of the personnel who have been separated will assist the front line in defending against possible EU reinforcements and maintaining the stability of the defense line. The remaining personnel will focus on the enemy on the dividing line, cutting off their retreat and delaying the evacuation time and opportunity of the most advanced EU participants when necessary.
Such a plan can be said to be very simple, and Corgi has no difficulty in understanding it. If Corgi really cannot understand this, Corgi will not be qualified to continue to sit in the position of commander of the Crimson Knights group. The plan is simple. It can be said that any Staff Officer commander with some brains can think of it, but thinking it does not mean that it can be done. First of all, there must be an absolutely powerful force that can take down the enemy's vanguard.
In the past, because the EU participants' offensive was too fierce, and Crimson Knights needed to retain their strength, they did not have the power to truly crush the opponent in terms of combat power. Even if they were willing to pay more sacrifices to completely drag the opponent to death, they would bring the same losses to the opponent, but in the end it was just a meaningless result of losing both sides. Corgi could not afford such a loss, and the EU participants should be the same. If they really wanted to fight at any cost, the EU would definitely choose to retreat and not fight head-on.
The participants on both sides are not Crimson Knights losing all the time in the battle. Both sides have wins and losses, and they will retreat immediately before the situation falls into the worst state. However, the situation has indeed developed to the current situation where Crimson Knights is losing ground. Is it a matter of strength? No, that's not entirely the case. It can only be said that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Corgi also made many active concessions in order to retain his strength.
But now with the addition of Xiao Ran, the addition of one more high-level combat force will once again add an important weight to the originally balanced balance, which can directly determine the outcome. However, if the EU is so bold to go in depth, is it really true that there is no preparation at all? Do you really have no doubt that this is a deliberate strategy set by Britannia to make them move forward rashly?
Xiao Ran feels that there may be some twists and turns in the battle that is about to start soon, but no matter what twists and turns there are, it doesn't matter. The EU army will be completely driven out of the area occupied by Britannia. It is enough to possibly annihilate the opponent's combat power. At that time, even if someone does escape from the encirclement net circled by Crimson Knights, it will be impossible to do anything. We can only do our best and give priority to destroying and killing the powerful pilots among the enemies.
As for failure, Xiao Ran won't even think about it. He also has the same confidence as other participants, even more confident than ordinary participants.
Although Xiao Ran was confident, he still reminded Corgi: "But you should pay more attention. The opponent's action mode is a bit surprising according to common sense. No matter how confident you are in your own strength, facing Britannia with a huge military force, and Crimson Knights who can fight them, they still choose this single-line attack method. This can no longer be described as a simple risk."
"I suspect that the other party may have more hidden power, or it may be a means to ensure that they can achieve their final goal. Don't let your side capsize in the final ditch. If your subordinates encounter an unavoidable situation, it is best not to choose to fight forcefully."
When Corgi received the reminder from Xiao Ran, he lowered his face and nodded solemnly. He more or less felt the unscrupulous flavor of the other participant in his heart.
Xiao Ran stood up, faced Mazinger Kaiser standing in the dark night, and asked, "Has the body been inspected?"
Hearing Xiao Ran suddenly change the topic, Corgi also turned his head to look at Mazinger Kaiser, nodded and said, "Every Tiandu has people conduct regular inspections, and the energy has also been replenished. Now this machine is in the best condition."
"Well, it's getting late. Let's rest for a while and adjust. We'll set off soon. Crimson Knights Are the other people already in place?"
Xiao Ran said and turned around, Corgi also stood up and patted his butt. "When I got the notice, I had already ordered my subordinates to go to the predetermined location. I will confirm with them immediately."
"Okay, I will send you the specific combat arrangements soon." After Xiao Ran finished, he nodded to Corgi and then boarded the cockpit of Mazinger Kaiser. He opened the aircraft body Main System and connected to the military encrypted network of Britannia. He updated the map information of the aircraft body, edited a combat arrangement and sent it to Corgi. Then he closed his eyes and began to fall asleep in the cockpit.
A few hours later, the sky gradually lit up, and the sun's rays slowly shone on the earth. Xiao Ran suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight, put his feet down from the console, moved his neck and wrists leisurely, pressed the side communication button, and fully started the machine.
"It's almost time. We'll leave in three minutes."
As Xiao Ran's words fell, several aircraft around Mazinger Kaiser all sounded a gentle roar. The eyes of each aircraft lit up with lights of different colors, whether red, green, or yellow. The thrusters ejected powerful and hot airflow, flickering with high-heat tail flames. Under the leadership of Mazinger Kaiser, they floated into the sky one by one.
Corgi is sitting in his own machine, his eyes always drifting away from the screen that displays Mazinger Kaiser. He is driving a machine with a more powerful performance than Mazinger Kaiser. Like most participants with a certain level of strength, the machine Corgi is driving now is also a completely original machine, at least in terms of appearance.
But when he looked at Mazinger Kaiser, he couldn't see any confidence or pride on Corgi's face or eyes. His eyes were full of curiosity and complexity. This curiosity and complexity came entirely from the unknown strength of Xiao Ran. He had never really seen. Corgi, who has exerted his full strength in Xiao Ran, has no direct understanding of the strength of Xiao Ran. Today is the first time that the two of them fight together. Corgi can't wait to see what kind of terrifying strength Xiao Ran, who is regarded as his thigh, possesses.
