What can be called a secret weapon by Ron is definitely not something that can be used casually in ordinary situations. In addition, Ron's description of this weapon is that once it is used, it can be disposed of at will no matter how many people are on the opposite side at a certain time. This is simply It is a strategic-level super weapon. Such a weapon must be valuable to a legion like them, but it is not confirmed that using this weapon can achieve satisfactory results for them. Likewise, no matter what it is, there must be something to restrain it.
Jiuchang has always been a person who seeks stability since he joined Prometheus. Except for task requirements, he will not take the initiative to take actions with risks exceeding 50%. Although the greater the risk, the greater the reward, you can suppress the risk. When every action is successful, the reward, no matter how small, can add up. Jiuchang follows this behavior and gradually moves forward steadily, even though it seems slow. At today's stage, he would not refuse to hug his thighs out of consideration for his face, but when the risk exceeds what he can accept, he will never agree to Ron's proposal and go to war with Crimson Knights, Roaring Lion Legion, and Black Knights just because Ron didn't know anything about the situation.
But now Ron's words were too clear-cut. Jiuchang, who had always sought stability, was not in a position to refuse arbitrarily again. He was silent for a moment and asked, "What is the secret weapon you mentioned?"
"Time Bomb." Ron took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Once used, it can cause time stasis within an effective range of five kilometers. Only the body with a canceller can act within the range. The duration is about one minute. As long as we can seize the opportunity and lure the opponent into our trap, only we can act within one minute. Can't we defeat the one-minute target?"
"As long as that Pendragon can be defeated, even if the remaining Crimson Knights and Roaring Lion Legion can cause us some trouble, it will be of no avail. In the end, we are the only ones who can win. Think about it, if If we defeat Crimson Knights, Roaring Lion Legion, and Black Knights, the strongest Pendragon, who else can stop us in this mission, the benefits to the entire world will definitely be huge."
"Five kilometers in diameter?" Jiuchang closed his eyes, put his hand on his chin and began to think. After a while, he looked up at Ron. The expression in his eyes was also extremely complicated. It felt like Ron had fallen into madness, and he actually took such a big bet to gamble on a one-in-10,000 possibility.
Through Ron's description of the secret weapon, Jiuchang believes that this weapon called Time Bomb is really worthy of the title of strategic weapon, and the benefits it can bring when used in the right place are absolutely huge.
Jiuchang said, "Why bother? Even if this thing is useful, the diameter of five kilometers can pass by us in the blink of an eye. How can you guarantee that the other party will definitely enter our trap and grasp the opportunity in the blink of an eye? Even if you can win in the end, so what, will you definitely be able to achieve your dreams? It is better to leave this kind of thing in a more useful place."
"One opportunity may be difficult to grasp, but what if we have three opportunities? The method of obtaining this kind of weapon is too difficult and the value is very high. However, I once had the opportunity to obtain three such Time Bomb. As long as we succeed in one of the three opportunities, we can win. If we cannot let the opponent enter our trap, then we will actively turn it into a trap and let the machine carrying the canceller crash into it."
Some confidence appeared on Ron's face, maybe it was the confidence given to him by Time Bomb, and he said, "As for whether I can succeed or not, that's my business. Even if I don't achieve the goal in the end, it has nothing to do with you. All the benefits will still be distributed as agreed before."
As he spoke, Ron stared at Jiuchang: "There are five cancellers in total. It is definitely not difficult to create a suitable opportunity by placing Time Bomb and the canceller on the body of the strongest among us. Or do you think the risk is too bold and too small to take the risk? You must know that the benefits we can obtain once we win will not be limited to what we are now. There is not much time, how do you choose."
Jiuchang was a little hesitant. He was really moved. If he followed what Ron said and let the five strongest pilots personally carry Time Bomb, then there would really be more opportunities to come into contact with Pendragon within five kilometers. After all, it is impossible for the five of them to unite and not let three people get close to each other. It is also impossible for them to be directly bombarded into scum outside the five kilometers range, right?
But the scene Pendragon showed on the Africa battlefield was really impressive to Jiuchang. Even though he didn't personally participate in that battle, the ghostly speed and terrifying firepower were... The incredible flexibility and the record of crushing all the combat forces on both sides have always reminded Jiuchang that the Pendragon is definitely not an existence that can be measured by common sense. If you are not careful, you will definitely die if you are not careful.
The benefits can only be seen after winning. Once the battle starts, the uncontrollable risks are simply ridiculous. It is impossible that everything will go as they want. The risks are too high, but the benefits are indeed very high. Jiuchang has Self-Awareness. Without Self-Awareness, it is impossible to focus on stability. Even if there is such a thing as Time Bomb, it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be any unexpected situations in the middle.
If Jiuchang can be given more time to think about it, I believe that Jiuchang will think more deeply, think more, and then let his hesitation and intention gradually shift to Ron's side. But now there is no time for Jiuchang to think too much in such a short time. It was not possible for him to directly change his original idea, and he had refused to go to war from the beginning. Jiuchang also felt that he could not continue to hesitate like this, could not delay Ron's preparation time, let alone make decisions blindly in such a hasty time, and finally make both sides unhappy, and then plunge himself into it.
Shaking his head, Jiuchang stood up and looked at Ron calmly. "On behalf of my legion, I choose not to participate in the next battle. Our legion's mission ends here. I will contact the other party to tell them. We are withdrawing. As for the division of interests we have discussed before, we do not need any other compensation from you. We will only take what we deserve, Ron Legion Leader, I'm sorry."
"Let's go." Jiuchang shook his head and said one word. He led his men and left the conference room directly, completely deciding not to participate in any unknown confrontation that would follow.
After Jiuchang left, Ron's face turned extremely dark, but Jiuchang watched as he left without saying anything. At this time, he was actually not afraid of offending the other party., Even if he offended, so what? The three legions that had signed the alliance did not have any conditions for starting a war, and there were foreign enemies on the side. He didn't want to do anything irrelevant, and he didn't have to worry about Jiuchang leaking anything.
Forcing himself to calm down, Ron looked at the Legion Leader who stayed behind and asked, "What about you?"
The third Legion Leader said with a smile, "Of course I chose to be with Ron Legion Leader, but it's such a big risk, and it seems Ron Legion Leader that you will have greater gains after victory, so I also need some compensation, what do you think Ron Legion Leader."
The expression on Ron's face finally looked better. The so-called compensation didn't matter at all. After laughing, Ron said, "Of course, your efforts will never be in vain."
Squinting his eyes and smiling, Ron said to himself in his heart, "That traitor Jiuchang, that traitor Selucius, I will never let them go so easily if there is a chance in the future. No, the chance to deal with Selucius will come soon, Jiuchang, Jiuchang, do you think I don't know what kind of legion is standing behind you? How could I not know what you know? It's really difficult to turn European Federation into a territory as it is now. Are you really the only smart person?"
"Even I didn't expect that I would find something like that during this mission, and get a hint like that. This world is not that simple. As long as you find the key to open the door and the figure you saw in the illusion, you can hold the world in your hands. What I'm betting on is not the one in 10,000 possibility, but more than 50%."
There was not much time left for Ron. Those who did not dare to waste immediately started making arrangements. Although one legion was gone, there were still two left. Facing Roaring Lion Legion and Crimson Knights, it was not without them. As long as he can win this battle, Ron will have everything within his reach, and no one will be able to stop him from using European Federation's full power to achieve his goals.
On the Xiao Ran side, after entering the European Federation territory, there were quite a few Military Strengths trying to intercept their huge fleet of aircraft along the way. However, in high-altitude operations, most of the power that the European Federation side could use without dispatching participants was composed of combat aircraft. Crimson Knights and Roaring Lion Legion made no move at all in the face of such intercepting force. All the power was solved by Pendragon, who was one step ahead. One person's power opened the safest road, and there was no hindrance at all as they moved smoothly towards the goal.
European Federation knew that it was meaningless and ineffective, but still sent flying troops to stop them with suicide attacks and cause them some losses as much as possible. It can only be said that it was a waste of effort and wasted lives.
For these flying troops, Xiao Ran was also very gentle when doing it. He did not go out to destroy those paper-like fighter planes with bloodlust. Instead, he adjusted the power of all his weapons to the lowest, and then attacked the wings of those fighter planes in the most appropriate way. Sometimes there is no need to use weapons at all. A few rays of light flash across the wings of the fighter planes and turn them into a hornet's nest. The fighter planes lose their ability to fly and thus lose their combat capabilities. However, whether the pilots inside can escape smoothly has little to do with Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran had just eliminated another interception flight team. Selucius's communication request flashed on the screen. After it was connected, Selucius's voice was heard. "Legion Leader, just now European Federation was over there. A legion leader contacted me and asked us for a truce on behalf of his legion. They are willing to withdraw from the combat range immediately. If I do not agree, they are also willing to withdraw from this mission immediately. However, they hope that we can compensate them for the losses caused by withdrawing from the mission, Roaring Lion Legion. One-third of the proceeds."
"Promise them to let them go." Xiao Ran replied calmly. He glanced at the map to confirm the distance and time between the current and the target location. As for the thoughts of the leaving legion, Xiao Ran would not think about it, but since the other party was willing to leave, he simply felt sorry for the Roaring Lion Legion, Crimson Knights It is not a bad thing for the two legion members. Xiao Ran also thinks it is okay to give a certain compensation, which is one-third of the Roaring Lion Legion's income. After all, the income is not that important compared to the lives of his men, and it is not high enough to cause Xiao Ran to lose manpower.
"I understand."
After continuing to move forward for a while, Xiao Ran slowed down, then opened the all-staff communication and gave instructions. At the same time, he also sent the legend that he had previously divided into the War Zone domain map to everyone.
"We will arrive at the target location soon. You don't need to actually participate in this battle. Your mission is to form a semi-encirclement to encircle the enemy and prevent the enemy from escaping. All aircraft carrying storage tanks will drop the storage tanks according to the coordinates I gave you and return quickly. Do not entangle with the enemy to ensure your own safety as the first goal. All personnel are prohibited from engaging in close combat."
People in both legions were a little confused about Xiao Ran's order, but now Xiao Ran is the boss of their boss. He will do what he says. If they don't want them to enter the central battlefield, they will not enter. They still have a clear understanding of the power of Xiao Ran.
"Next, I will arrange a specific division of labor. All personnel are organized into three teams. The first team is the delivery team, which maintains the current height and arrives at the coordinates to drop the particle canister. The second team is the escort team, which assists the first team in dropping the storage canister. The third team is the support team, which provides long-range fire support from the rear. Lowering the altitude to suppress the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower is the first priority."
"Understood."
Xiao Ran doesn't know what Ron is planning, but Xiao Ran has never thought about engaging in any close combat with the opponent. With so many GN Particle Storage Tanks to drop, hundreds of Particle Storage Tanks will open and fall as soon as they are dropped, and GN Particles spreads quickly in the way Xiao Ran needs. Xiao Ran, which has entered the Quantum Assimilation state, can kill all the enemies in an instant. There is no need to engage in any extra battles. If you can slap them to death, why bother spitting out two more mouths of saliva?
If it can be solved in this way, there is no need to rush into the enemy formation, and the moment the particle can is dropped, it is already a victory.
