After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Korgi fell into thought. Xiao Ran believed the Roaring Lion Legion had enormous potential for development—greater potential than the Crimson Knights. Unless something unexpected happened, its rise was inevitable. If they acted against the Roaring Lion Legion now, there would be no problem. With Xiao Ran's strength as an S-class Pilot, he could absolutely crush the Roaring Lion Legion head-on.
But the problem was that if Xiao Ran truly intended to make a move, Selucius could likewise abandon the mission outright, accepting the loss of some personnel in exchange for ensuring the Legion members' safety. But then the Roaring Lion Legion would become completely opposed to the Burning Legion and would constantly cause trouble for them. Not only would they gain an enemy for no reason, but they would also leave behind a major hidden danger. It would be better to invest in them before they developed and forge a good relationship. That way, the currently weak but future-growing Roaring Lion Legion could become a natural ally of the Burning Legion. Given Selucius's character, he would absolutely never betray or undermine the Burning Legion.

Take his faction choice, for example. He had chosen the strongest Britannia, yet although they had not developed the slowest or suffered the worst among all the Legions, they had not developed much faster than the others either. On the contrary, they had
