Loide was not a fool. To be able to independently lead a team to develop a next-generation mech like the Lancelot, and at the same time, have several kinds of brand-new equipment, of course, Loide was not a fool.
But no matter how next-generation the Lancelot was, it was still a mech used in small-scale wars on Earth's internal land. Some of its equipment seemed very advanced, but in fact, it could not even use beam weapons. The material, structure, and technology were actually the same. At most, it was only at the level of C-grade.
However, the transformable fighter was a completely new structure and series that was completely different from KF. It was more aimed at the mech used in interplanetary battles. It was equivalent to building a car, but one was a QQ, and the other was a Bugatti. The difference was so terrifying.
In order to complete the transformation of the transformable fighter as soon as possible, Xiao Ran spent most of his time in the Special Task Force since he used GEASS to control the group of technicians that day. Even Loide did not spend as much time in the Special Task Force. After all, Loide still had to be responsible for the relocation of the Special Task Force.
In the process, in order to let these junior technicians really familiarize themselves with the special technology needed to complete the transformable fighter, Xiao Ran also forced himself to memorize all the technology first. He was forced by the current situation to take the initiative to learn the technology in the data. It was definitely not like before where he could only understand but could not do it. This was a situation that had never happened before in all the missions.
In the previous missions, Xiao Ran did all the technical work. There was no need for Xiao Ran to personally come into contact with these extremely cumbersome data and technology. Even without Luo, Xiao Ran would try to find a suitable faction to join, and then let this faction build the mech. But at least in normal missions, he could still carry his own mech, so he did not really have to worry about the mech at all.
The current situation was simply letting a group of primary school students forcibly come into contact with a group of high school students, and even some college students would learn the content. In order to let these primary school students really understand the meaning of each parameter of these technology and know how to reproduce these technology, Xiao Ran really had to learn it himself. Fortunately, his vision and thinking had already improved. Although it was a little troublesome to come into contact with it, it was not impossible to understand.
After Xiao Ran was almost done with it, he directly pulled a group of people into a spiritual communication space. First, he poured the information of these mechs into the minds of all the technicians, then let these technicians slowly digest and integrate it in the spiritual space, and dialectically discuss it to accelerate their learning.
Xiao Ran felt that his approach was simply too invincible. He actually used such a great and peaceful space like the spiritual communication space to teach a group of primary school students. The use of the Forerunner ability was probably unprecedented for him.
In three days, Xiao Ran felt that he had pulled these people into the spiritual communication space at least five or six times. It was not that he did not want to do more, but these technicians with their ordinary bodies could no longer withstand Xiao Ran's ravages. For most of the three days, they were dizzy and could do nothing. They only had time to digest the information in their minds.
Three days later, Xiao Ran was delayed by other things. The second batch of special support from the Empire arrived in the 11th District under the leadership of another Round Table Knight. Xiao Ran had to temporarily leave the old research institute and accompany Euphemia to formally welcome this batch of people.
This time, the arrival of the team was obviously more formal and larger than the previous one. Not only did the Round Table officially appear, but there were also two of them. One of them was a young Round Table Knight with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was estimated to be about the same age as Suzaku. His name was Ginobynn Brook, and he looked extremely confident and proud at first glance.
The other one looked like a child. She was indeed only fifteen years old, a pink-haired girl named Ania Alstorme. The two of them, a man and a woman, were ranked third and sixth among the Round Table Knights. However, each of them had become the most powerful Round Table Knights in the Empire at a young age. This was their first appearance in the 11th District. The man was handsome, and the woman was cute. The two of them received a great deal of attention and welcome.
Although they were all Round Table Knights, these two young Round Table Knights were obviously not as good as the First Knight Bismarck. At least in terms of the Emperor's trust and authority, these two Round Table Knights were far inferior. However, just by virtue of their title as Round Table Knights, Euphemia also needed to personally receive them. On the other hand, these two Round Table Knights were not qualified to disrespect Euphemia, who had already become the governor of a district. In front of Euphemia, they were at most qualified to refuse orders and act independently, just like Faith in the plant.
However, Xiao Ran's gaze only swept across the two of them. After that, he set his eyes on the others behind them. A group of technicians gathered by the Empire also followed the two Round Table Knights slowly down the plane. For Xiao Ran, these technicians were the ones he really valued. At the same time, Xiao Ran was also distinguishing all the people who came, looking for possible participants among them.
The number of people could be said to be quite large. Often, a convoy represented a lot of people. However, this time, the people who came were not only people, but also the airframes of the two Round Table Knights and the equipment needed for special missions. There were also several passenger and transport planes.
When the two Round Table Knights got off the plane, Xiao Ran and Liu Muye stood on Euphemia's left and right respectively. They stood straight at the end of the red carpet outside the plane. It was not until the two young Round Table Knights walked up to Euphemia that Xiao Ran set his eyes on them for the second time. He only glanced at them briefly, then he no longer paid attention to them.
Everyone followed behind the two leading Knights of the Round Table and stood in a line. Although it was not too neat, at least it looked good. Under the leadership of the two Knights of the Round Table, everyone put their hands on their chests and bowed to Euphoria. After Euphoria smiled slightly, she also made a noble salute to everyone, trying her best to make her not too loud voice sound in everyone's ears.
"Everyone, please rise. I, Euphemia Brittalia, welcome you on behalf of the people of the 11th District. I also hope that you can live a happy life in the 11th District and work harder and more seriously for the Empire. You won't let the Empire down for choosing you."
After that, Euphemia looked at the two Round Table Knights and smiled at them, "Welcome, Keno, Ania. Please take care of us in the coming days."
The two bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness. We will do our best to support all of Your Highness' work."
"Okay." Euphemia nodded happily and said, "This is Lulu Xiu Xiao, my personal knight. He is in charge of my Freikorps, but he doesn't usually take care of things. If you have any needs, you can look for Liukino beside me. He is the affairs officer of the governor of the 11th District."
The two Knights raised their heads and looked at Xiao Ran and Liukino. The young Ania's eyes looked a little lazy and listless, like a weak girl. She also seemed a little hesitant. She nodded softly to Euphemia and didn't say anything. She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, the flat-chested girl with a cloak, shorts, and a shirt so short that most of her belly was exposed was in a mess. She was entangled and influenced by a mental force from outside, which made her look lazy and listless. It was all because of the mental force's interference, and there were signs that she was gradually losing herself.
The other Knight, Keno, was more energetic than Ania. He had a confident smile on his face all the time. After hearing Euphemia's words, he nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Knight Xiao, the affairs officer of Liukino. Your Highness, Knight Xiao is now very famous among the Knights of the Round Table. I have heard of Knight Xiao's name a while ago, and this time, Knight Bismarck went back and recommended him as a Knight of the Round Table, which caused a great reaction among us."
As he spoke, the corners of Keno's mouth curled up. "I've also read the information sent back by Lloyd. Knight Xiao seems to have directly destroyed several KF's in a short period of time while piloting a next-generation airframe. I've always been curious about Knight Xiao's true strength and the performance of that Lancelot. This time, we've also brought our own special airframe. I wonder if Knight Xiao would be interested in piloting Lancelot and competing with me?"
"You want to compete?" Xiao Ran withdrew his gaze from the crowd behind the two Knights, but he also remembered several people who were not quite right. He looked at Keno and said, "But is it okay if the aircraft is completely destroyed? Even if you are a Knight of the Round Table, it is not a small matter if your own aircraft is destroyed in a non-combat situation, right? "
The smile on Keno's face froze for a moment, and Ania, who lowered her head, also looked at Xiao Ran silently. But after a while, the confident Keno laughed and said, "Is that so? Sorry, I forgot that you don't seem to have your own aircraft at all. Lancelot is an important sample. If it is damaged, it will be very troublesome."
Although Keno was stunned for a moment, he used this confidence to dispel that little bit of unhappiness. He also pretended to be magnanimous and sarcastic to Xiao Ran, showing off his strength. As a noble and a Knight of the Round Table, this guy had the capital to be confident and proud in all aspects, such as ability, appearance, wealth, identity, and so on. To those who were inferior to him in ability and status, he would only show arrogance, and in Keno's eyes, Xiao Ran was such a person.
"Mr. Knight, as comrades, you can't make your relationship too stiff." Euphemia smiled and looked at Xiao Ran, then turned to Keno and said, "Knight Keno, I won't allow a competition. You and he are both pillars of the Empire. If you are injured in a competition, it will only be a loss for the Empire, so it's best not to have a fight between you two."
Keno treated Euphemia much more respectfully. He put his hand on his chest and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't agree to this matter. From my personal standpoint, I really want to have a competition with him, but the more important reason is because of His Majesty's order."
"Before coming, His Majesty asked us to be in charge of Knight Xiao's Round Table combat ability assessment. If he can defeat us, then he will officially be qualified to be a Knight of the Round Table and go to his country to complete the rest of the assessment. If he can't, then the prepared exclusive knight appointment certificate will be given to him, but this Knight Xiao can only be an exclusive knight."
Euphoria's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Xiao Ran. "Sir Knight …" Xiao Ran looked at Euphoria and said, "Sir Knight …"
"Your Highness." Xiao Ran nodded gently and said, "Since it's His Majesty's order, of course I can only complete it. It's just an assessment, Your Highness doesn't have to worry."
After that, Xiao Ran looked at Keno and Ania and said calmly, "Since it's His Majesty's order, of course I can't refuse. The assessment time will be set now. You two can prepare. I also need someone to send the body here, but for the time being, I can only borrow Lancelot. I don't think you two will mind this. After all, the exclusive body is almost infinitely close to the next generation's body. If you two fight together, you should be able to make up for the small difference."
After that, Xiao Ran did not give the two a chance to speak at all and turned to Euphemia again, "Your Highness, the guests have come from afar. Performing a confrontation can be considered a welcome ceremony for them, and also let the people of the 11th District know more about the Knights of the Round Table. If you don't mind, I'll go and prepare first."
After saying that, Xiao Ran turned around and left, not giving Keno and Ania any time to speak. Xiao Ran had said it was one against two, so it was one against two. Xiao Ran wouldn't give either of them an excuse to lose.
Xiao Ran decisively turned and left. Euphemia nodded in a daze. After Xiao Ran was far away, she looked at Keno and Ania with a wry smile, "I apologize on behalf of Mr. Knight."
Keno looked at Xiao Ran's back and then at Euphemia. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, this knight doesn't seem to be very polite. He lacks enough respect for Your Highness. He actually acted on his own accord in front of Your Highness. How audacious."
"Don't say that, Knight Keno." Euphemia shook her head and said seriously to Keno, "Mr. Knight has helped me a lot. If it weren't for him, the 11th District wouldn't have stabilized so quickly. Moreover, I invited him to be my knight. I'm very grateful to him, so even I won't force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. But this is not because of gratitude, but because of trust and understanding. He has the right to do what he thinks is worth doing."
