From the three participants, Xiao Ran had a general understanding of the situation of this mission. For the armies that had entered this world, this mission was not a simple battle between armies. Instead, it was a strategic mission in a low-level world like Luluxiu. They needed to develop and strategize. The army that could obtain more cherry stones would gain more advantages in this mission.
The reason why cherry stones were used as the material development measure for this mission was because the world level of this mission was too low. At the same time, it was also the real difficulty of this mission. Without cherry stones, the Mech would not be able to be unsealed. Without cherry stones, even if the Mech was unsealed, it would not be able to be used. Cherry stones were everything. The army that could unseal the Mech first and obtain enough cherry stones to support their battle would develop faster and faster.
However, this mission involved ten armies. Therefore, even if one of the armies was in the lead, they would not necessarily be the final victor. This was because the armies behind could form alliances. As long as they signed a suitable alliance contract, two, three, or even four armies could form an alliance and use their shared resources to push out a few high-level pilots. Then, they would be able to suppress the first army and achieve victory together. Because of this, the relationship and development between the ten armies would become more complicated.
At the beginning of the mission, which was now, the armies did not have enough resources. Therefore, there was no way for them to bring out high-level Mech. As a result, the real dominant force in this world was still the natives. Even if these natives were too weak, they could not win against them in terms of numbers. They had all kinds of weapons. If a fight really broke out, the participants would be defeated.
This also explained why Xiao Ran had only piloted low-level mechs into battle when he knew that there were participants. That was because the various armies did not have enough resources to unseal high-level mechs, so they could only unseal low-level mechs and obtain more authority and support from the organization they joined as soon as possible. Then, they could unseal the high-level mechs as soon as possible and make the final decision. In the end, they could reach the current situation of using the organization and then controlling the organization. That way, the entire world would be plunged into the most terrifying chaos of war.
The first stage of the mission required each army to obtain a territory. From this point of view, there were also various possibilities. The later stages of the mission might require them to develop a territory or build a base in a territory. If they lost a base, they would fail the mission. These were all completely possible. However, if an army wanted to obtain the final victory, how the forces they joined currently would be the most important evaluation factor. All kinds of situations were much more troublesome than a simple chaotic mission. However, it was known that the armies currently needed time and resources to develop, so they did not dare to blindly start a full-scale war and let others take advantage of them.
It was because of this reason that the 10 armies fell into a strange balance. None of them dared to blindly break this balance and force the other armies to form an alliance to deal with them. As a result, the 11th District, which had the most cherry stones in the world, did not have the courage to openly extend their hands into it. However, Xiao Ran was sure that there were definitely more participants in the 11th District than the three in front of him. No matter which army it was, they would definitely send a certain number of people to the 11th District to monitor the movements of the other armies. This way, they would be able to respond as soon as something happened in the 11th District.
Not only the 11th District, perhaps even Zhang Tie, Euphemia, Zero, and the Black Knights had already become the focus of the other armies. Perhaps, Xiao Ran, who was playing the role of a knight, would also be regarded as the biggest boss of the 11th District by these armies. A boss that must be defeated. The Black Knights might become the main supporting force in the eyes of these armies to defeat the boss.
In other words, they would think that Xiao Ran could become another powerful force in the early stages of their army. As long as they could rope in Xiao Ran and Euphemia, it would be tantamount to indirectly controlling the 11th District. In that case, the Black Knights would become a threat. However, no matter what, there would be more participants in the 11th District. They would either choose to ally with the Black Knights or choose to side with Xiao Ran.
However, in terms of influence, since the 11th District belonged to the Empire, very few armies would choose to side with Xiao Ran. If they did choose to side with Xiao Ran, they would definitely be led by a capable and far-sighted leader. This was because the leader would definitely try to break the 11th District away from the Empire. Not only would this strengthen themselves, but it would also weaken the Empire and the participating armies that had joined the Empire. Under normal circumstances, more people would choose to side with the Black Knights, which had nothing to do with the Empire. However, the Blood Knights that had joined the Empire had chosen the third method, which was to use force to control Xiao Ran and Euphemia. It could only be said that this kind of confidence was too blind. Xiao Ran was sure that he would lose if he could not get the Blood Knights killed.
After asking a few more questions, Xiao Ran brought one of the participants out of the van. He could even use geass to control the three participants to do or answer his questions. After all, they did not have the ability to resist geass. He just wanted to know everything about his own army from them. He could not do that even with geass.
If it was Luluxiu who asked them who they were, there would be even more questions. The three participants would only blankly answer the identities that Prometheus had arranged for them. They would definitely not say that they were participants. It was as if Prometheus was trying to prevent the three participants from revealing any information about Prometheus.
When Luluxiu saw Xiao Ran come out with a person, he asked, "Are you done asking?"
"Almost. I can't get anything else out of him." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Your geass ability can only be used on a target once. As long as you remove the geass ability, you can use it on the same target again. I will remove the geass ability in this guy's head. You can use it on him again and order him to kill anyone in the van."
Luluxiu frowned slightly. "What's the point of doing that? Didn't you just say that you can kill them whenever you want with a bullet? Why are you doing something so superfluous now?"
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "These people are a little special. They couldn't answer many of the questions I asked just now. It's not because they know, but because of some kind of restriction that we don't know. It's like they have been implanted with a core command that they can't betray. Their priority is higher than your king's command. You should know very well that your geass ability can't make others do things that they can't. In the end, you didn't reveal any confidential information about the legion behind them. So I want to see if they can betray you by killing their comrades under your command."
"If they can, it means that your command can at least control their bodies. In other words, the betrayal of killing their comrades won't be subjectively blamed on them. To them, it's not considered a betrayal. They'll just become tools under your control. You'll be safer dealing with them in the future. You'll also be able to do more things to them. But if you can't …"
Luluxiu nodded thoughtfully. "Then under the premise that they can't fight back, you can only use your geass ability to give other orders and kill them personally."
Having said that, Luluxiu glanced at Xiao Ran. "Try it."
Xiao Ran pressed his hand on the head of the guy who was lifted out. A green light enveloped the guy's head, which surprised Luluxiu. In just a few seconds, all the light disappeared. Xiao Ran nodded at Luluxiu.
The geass ability was removed. As soon as the participant woke up, he saw an eye flashing with a red flying bird rune. In the next second, he lost consciousness.
"Go and kill anyone on the bus."
The participant who was controlled by the king's command fell to the ground. There was a struggling expression on his face, but the red light in his eyes didn't disappear. His eyes were still filled with numbness and madness after being controlled. He stood up and wobbled a few times. Then, he dragged his feet and crawled toward the bus. His trembling hand grabbed one of the two participants on the bus. He squeezed and pulled hard. The participant's neck was twisted and he stopped breathing.
"Interesting. It only restricts on the mental level? But it can't be controlled? It only restricts what shouldn't be said, but not what shouldn't be done? Doesn't that mean the information about Prometheus and the army's secrets are blocked when they're controlled by the geass? But in essence, they still have to obey the king's command? " Xiao Ran turned to look at Luluxiu and thought to himself, He even said that this situation is actually because of him? In this world, he's the only power to resist the participants? Or is the geass ability the only way to survive? "
Luluxiu glanced at Xiao Ran. "It seems like they can't completely resist my command. However, this command also made them struggle. Like you said, maybe there really is some kind of restriction. If their mental power is higher, they should be able to ignore my command and wake up quickly. To be safe, it's best to quickly kill them after giving other orders."
"Just be careful." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "These people's target is undoubtedly the 11th District. They need a lot of cherry stones to develop themselves. There should be more people targeting me and Euphemia. It might even affect Li Lina."
Luluxiu paused for a moment, but he did not say anything. Instead, he waited for Xiao Ran to continue.
"But similarly, as the 11th District's resistance against the dynasty, zero will definitely be on their radar. They will definitely look for you. In the end, there are only two outcomes. First, someone will be willing to join the Black Knights and use them to seize the authority of the 11th District to obtain more cherry stones. Similarly, there will also be people who will join me to deal with the Black Knights for the same reason.
"The second possibility is that they won't join us, but they will choose to control us. However, their goal will still be the same, which is to obtain more cherry stones. They won't be able to control me, but it won't be that easy to control you either. Your geass ability is enough to counter them. It's more likely that we will be fighting against each other to see who can fool the other. Our advantage is that they don't know that we are actually on the same side."
"So, if such people really join our side, we can totally work together to deplete their strength. It's not that they're using us, but we're using them, making them go for wool and come home shorn. However, those who sincerely want to join the Black Knights can also be recruited."
Luluxiu nodded slowly. "If that's the case, we might need another way to communicate with each other. We also need to make sure that my true identity won't be leaked."
Xiao Ran tossed a communicator to Lulu and Xiu. "Use this to communicate in the future. If it's you, I don't think there's a need for me to teach you how to use it. Also, build the factory as soon as possible. The power in your own hands is true power."
"Don't worry." Lu Luxiu took the communicator and said, "The factory has been settled, and I have made arrangements in Osaka. Next, as long as the materials are in place, we can start immediately. However, we are still in the process of gathering manpower, so it will take some time."
"I will help you look for people on my side." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then said, "As for the materials, I will try to provide you with a batch as soon as possible."
Luluxiu looked at the two idiots and the four people in the car, then waved at Xiao Ran and turned to leave. "I'll be leaving first. Nunnally will be safer with you. Please continue to take care of her."
Xiao Ran nodded and watched Luluxiu leave. He looked at the two people behind him and knocked them out again. He went in to check and found that the person who was strangled to death was the person who was monitoring the governor's mansion. After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran sat in the driver's seat and sent the two people back to the special mission.
