Xiao Ran piloted the Lancelot, which had completely burned all of its functions, to deal with a few KF's that were not up to standard. The moment it landed on the ground, it had already sliced the few KF's into pieces. Without differentiating between friend and foe, it had completely ensured Euphemia's safety and stopped the infighting.
Under Xiao Ran's overclocking operation, the Lancelot leaped back and forth, pulled out its sword, landed on the ground, and spun around. The short movements caused Xiao Ran to continuously hear the sound of metal twisting. In fact, if one were to look at the Lancelot based on its durability of 100%, Xiao Ran's series of actions just now had already caused harm to both the enemy and himself, reducing the durability of the Lancelot by no less than 8%.
If the Lancelot continued to maintain the kind of actions that were impossible for the other KF's pilots to follow, it would have been impossible for the Lancelot to last 20 minutes as Cecil had predicted. At most, five minutes later, the Lancelot's leg joints would be the first to break. Following that, its waist would directly explode, and its arms would be twisted, unable to do anything else.
Thinking back to when Xiao Ran was in the Gundam SEED-D mission, the modified Holy Shield Gundam he piloted was unable to support Xiao Ran's actions. This Lancelot was only a prototype, and its various upgrades and adjustments had not reached the optimal level. At most, it was only a C-grade land-based KF's body. If it was operated by an S-grade pilot like Xiao Ran, who was a few grades lower than the S-grade pilot, five minutes was actually quite a good result.
Of course, this situation would only occur if Xiao Ran was overclocking the Lancelot. However, this did not mean that Xiao Ran could not use normal methods to fully utilize the Lancelot's capabilities without harming the Lancelot's body. Even so, it would not take much time to deal with the KF's in the stadium.
The reason why Xiao Ran wanted to use such a method to drive the Lancelot was to attract the attention of Loide, the technician. After all, Xiao Ran still wanted Loide to help him build a KF's body. It would be at least an A-grade KF's body. As for an S-grade KF, that was out of the question. Basically, with the current level of technology in this world, it should not be possible to build one.
When Euphemia, Loide, and Cecil rushed into the stadium, the noise in the stadium had already disappeared for a long time. A few people in Butalian uniforms had already climbed out of the cockpit of their KF's body. They either knelt on the ground or stood up, staring blankly at the Lancelot that seemed to be emitting bursts of smoke.
Loide could not believe the scene before his eyes. Lancelot was standing in the middle of the abandoned stadium. Because of the heat released by the KF's body, Lancelot was shrouded in a faint mist. Surrounding it were four KF's body parts and scattered limbs.
He had rushed over as fast as he could, but he was still too late when he arrived. Cecil was the only one who saw what happened through Lancelot's surveillance camera. But it happened so fast that Cecil, a bystander, could not react at all. In the surveillance screen, the KF's body that was fighting in the stadium at that time only flashed by. After the screen changed quickly, everything was over. Cecil could not see what happened at that moment.
Among the three people who came over, Euphemia was the calmest because she did not know what Xiao Ran's actions meant. She only knew that Xiao Ran had stopped the battle, destroyed all the KF's in the stadium, and did not hurt a single person. When she saw Xiao Ran's Lancelot standing in the sports hall like a real knight, she was only happy.
She was happy that the conflict was stopped. She was happy that Xiao Ran was really as strong as he said. She was also happy that Xiao Ran did not suffer any injuries in the process. As for the rest, they were not so important in Euphemia's eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Ran." Euphemia said silently in her heart, then stepped into the middle of the stadium and stood at Lancelot's feet.
Euphemia's appearance also made the few pilots who were still in shock come over and kneel on one knee in front of Euphemia. Euphemia looked at the few people kneeling in front of her, took a deep breath and said loudly, "I am Euphemia Li Brittalia, the third princess of the Empire. I do not allow you, who are also soldiers of the Empire, to point your weapons at your companions here. No matter what happens, this will never be allowed. This is my order as the third princess, the 11th District Governor!"
Euphemia tried her best to let her clear voice resound throughout the stadium, as if she wanted to use this method to show her determination. After hearing Euphemia's words, the few pilots who had experienced shock began to suffer the torture of inner shame at this time. They lowered their heads in shame.
At the same time, a huge figure appeared in the audience seats outside the stadium. After seeing the scene in the stadium, it quickly put down its weapon and quietly watched the development of the situation in the stadium.
Xiao Ran also opened the cockpit at this time and jumped out. He walked easily to Euphemia's side and nodded to Loide who also began to run over.
Loide's eyes fell on Xiao Ran and could not move away, but after running over with Cecil, he first said to Euphemia, "Your Royal Highness, I have already informed the others. Someone will soon come over to deal with the matter here. Your Royal Highness, please don't leave and wait for the people who will come to pick you up."
Euphemia nodded and said to the few people kneeling on the ground, "No matter what happened between you, I hope that the same thing will not happen again in the future."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." The few people spoke in unison. From this point of view, it seemed that the few people who almost fought to the death but didn't have a chance to do anything in the end were actually quite tacit.
Ignoring the four people kneeling on the ground, Euphemia turned to face Xiao Ran, pursed her lips, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Ran."
"You're welcome." Xiao Ran shook his head and glanced at the KF that was slowly coming down from the audience seats of the stadium. After that, he said to Euphemia, "The matter has been resolved. You don't have to worry about any danger here. As an outsider, it's not very convenient for me to be here, so I'll take my leave first."
"Wait."
Euphemia quickly grabbed Xiao Ran's arm, and Loide also lost his cool and stood in front of Xiao Ran. After Loide saw Euphemia's action, he was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back, and stood silently with a smile on his face.
Xiao Ran: "What's wrong?"
"That …" Euphemia looked at Xiao Ran, then looked at the other people who seemed to be quite close to her. She waved at the others and said, "You guys step back."
Everyone looked at the two people standing below Lancelot and didn't dare to speak. They quickly retreated. Although the people who were originally fighting to the death were still dissatisfied with each other at this moment, they could only disperse and protect Euphemia like guards.
After the people around them left, Euphemia let go of Xiao Ran's arm, pursed her lips, and said, "Mr. Xiao Ran … What do you think of the Empire?"
"What do I think?" Xiao Ran looked at Euphemia, who was waiting expectantly for his answer, and said, "I don't have any special opinions. I just think that if this country continues on its current path, sooner or later, it will force all the people who hate this country to unite. When that time comes, there will be no power to resist this hatred."
"Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario. The slightly better scenario is that the various countries that are now the special zones of the Empire will stand up against the Empire again sooner or later. No matter what, there will be a war that will affect the entire world."
Euphemia asked, "Will the 11th district be like this too?"
Xiao Ran smiled faintly. "You have to be sure of this yourself. As a princess and a new governor, you must have the ability to see all of this with your own eyes. But I believe that as a princess, you will be able to see all of this clearly sooner or later. If it's you, at least in the 11th district, I think it will become better because of your arrival."
"I see." Euphemia nodded gloomily. The two people then fell into silence. Xiao Ran didn't know what was on his mind at this moment. At least, he was sure that he was waiting for Euphemia to invite him to be a knight. Even if he didn't do it today, he had left this impression on Euphemia. If Euphemia wanted to find a knight, of course, Xiao Ran would be her first choice.
After a short while, Euphemia raised her head once again and smiled at Xiao Ran, "Mr. Xiao Ran, since you trust me so much, I also think I should believe in myself. I will definitely make the 11th district better."
"Hmm." Xiao Ran said with a faint smile, "Well, I will not waste time here. The game between the knight and the princess is over. Heh, although I've not imagined that you're a real princess."
"Wait a minute …" Euphemia stopped Xiao Ran once again as she said in a hurried tone, "Mr. Xiao Ran, do you really think that what happened today is just a game between the knight and the princess? If so, Mr. Xiao Ran, will you become a real knight and accompany me and protect me like today? Will you become a real knight who can lend your strength to me, Euphemia · LI · Britalia? "
"Mr. Xiao Ran, don't you also want to help the poor commoners in the 11th district? I'm also willing to lend my strength to you. Let's change the 11th district together, okay?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that Euphoria would be so impulsive as to ask him to be her personal knight in such a situation in this world. In Xiao Ran's opinion, shouldn't such a thing take time to consider it, investigate it, and finally get in touch with her and become her personal knight?
However, Euphemia's decisiveness and bravery as well as her trust in him really surprised Xiao Ran. He didn't know that his ability was influencing Euphemia all the time, including that title. Plus Euphemia herself, it was not impossible for her to ask him to be her knight.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Ran looked at Euphemia and asked seriously, "We've only known each other for less than a day. You trust me so much that you want me to be your knight?"
"Yes, I believe in Mr. Xiao Ran." Euphemia nodded seriously and said in an affirmative tone, "I believe you have the same idea as me."
"Hehe." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. Under Euphemia's puzzled expression, he extended his right hand to Euphemia, "Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Luluxiu Xiao. Nice to meet you, Euphemia."
"Luluxiu?" Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Euphemia became absent-minded for a moment. However, she soon recovered and looked at Xiao Ran seriously. Finally, she smiled and held Xiao Ran's hand, "Euphemia · LI · Britalia. Nice to meet you, Luluxiu Xiao."
"I promise you." After Xiao Ran separated his hand from Euphemia's, he said to her, "But even if I become your knight, I won't do anything that I don't agree with. Can you promise me this?"
Euphemia's smile became extremely bright, "Yes."
"Well, in exchange for your promise, I will do my best to protect you and complete all the things that we agree on together."
Xiao Ran said. He put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly. As for kneeling on one knee, Xiao Ran did not have this habit. However, bowing with one's hand on his chest could only be said to be a normal etiquette.
"No need to be so polite, my knight." Euphemia blinked at Xiao Ran, covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Then our game of princess and knight will continue in the future."
"It seems so." Xiao Ran spread his hands and said in a rather helpless tone, "I originally wanted to refuse. Seeing that you personally invited me, I was prepared to introduce another person to you. However, you seem to trust me so much that it is a bit difficult for me to refuse the invitation of a royal princess."
"I only need one knight." Euphoria shook her head and pursed her lips into a smile: "But if Mr. Knight is willing to recommend more talents to me, I won't mind."
