Loide was shocked when he saw Xiao Ran bring back the two people he had taken away. He leaned his head into the cabin and looked at the two people who were still unconscious. He then turned back to look at Xiao Ran and said in surprise, "Why did you bring these two people back? If these two guys really get into a fight, us puny technicians can't do anything to them. "
"It doesn't matter. They probably won't remember what happened today." The corner of Xiao Ran's mouth curled up. "After taking two of my psychic attacks and being hit by ZERO's GEASS, they were forced to forget what happened today. Amnesia and a concussion are considered light, but the damage to their minds is very serious. They will be very weak for a period of time, so there won't be too much of a problem. However, after losing their memories for such a long time, they will definitely be aware of it and will be so weak. I want them to be paranoid when they don't dare to act rashly. They won't be able to figure out the current situation, but they will clearly know that they were attacked."
"And even if they don't lose their memories, it doesn't matter if they can remember what happened today. It would be best if they can pass on some information."
Loide somewhat understood. He asked, "Although I don't know what the effects of the psychic attacks you mentioned are, you want to use these two guys? Who are these two guys? "
Xiao Ran said, "They're from a mercenary corps. They joined the Empire because of the situation in the Empire and were given a knight order by Emperor Charles. However, they probably have other motives and are not on the same side as Charles. In this situation, they are at most using each other. They need the Empire's resources, and Charles needs their military strength."
"Have everyone keep a close eye on these two people. Record their every word and action. Don't stop them if they want to contact the outside world."
Loide pondered for a moment. "Okay, I'll keep an eye on these two. Now that the entire Special Task Force is under your control, even without me, these two people won't be able to escape your surveillance. Since they are so worthy of your attention, are these the people you've been guarding against? The transformation fighter and the new mecha you want are prepared for them, right? Are they related to the people who attacked Her Highness Cornelia? "
"I don't think so. They belong to a completely different mercenary group." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "But at least one thing is clear. They also have a powerful force, and they even have their own special body. The current KF has no way to fight against them. Moreover, these people have now set their eyes on the 11th district, and also on your current project. So if the 11th district doesn't have a real power to resist, it won't be a good thing for you, for me, and for this place."
Loide smiled. He pushed up his glasses and said, "I know. You don't have to remind me again and again. Now that so many people have been specially assigned to join us, and they can all be invested in the completion of the transformational fighter project, don't worry. Even if we have to manually craft the required materials, it won't take more than a few days to complete the body."
"As for the new model you want, I'll give you a perfect answer in three months."
Xiao Ran really couldn't do anything about the time limit. He could only say, "The body I want needs to be specially custom-made. After the transformation fighter is completed, I'll tell you what to do."
Loide nodded with a smile. "Okay, leave this to me. I'll take good care of these two people. Now, I have to arrange for people to carefully transport the transformational fighter over there. If there's nothing else, you can just keep an eye on it yourself."
Xiao Ran didn't waste any more words and left the Special Task Force. He brought a group of people from the Special Task Force and drove a large transport vehicle to the Special Task Force's old research institute. After a round trip, he transported the transformational fighter over without any problems. Since he had nothing else to do, he brought a group of people back to the research institute and continued the work on the transformational fighter.
It wasn't until the next morning that he returned to the Governor's Mansion and had breakfast with everyone.
Xiao Ran didn't return for the whole night again, but the people in the Governor's Mansion, including Euphemia, weren't surprised. Except for Ryukino who knew what Xiao Ran had gone to do, he didn't know what Xiao Ran had gone to do. He knew that he wouldn't get an answer even if he asked. As for Euphemia, she didn't want to ask about Xiao Ran's private affairs at all. Even if she was curious about what Xiao Ran had gone to do, Euphemia could resist the urge to mention it.
At the table, Ryukino glanced at Euphemia, who was engrossed in eating. He turned to Xiao Ran, who was sitting opposite him, and asked, "Is the matter settled?"
Xiao Ran raised his head and glanced at Ryukino, then at Euphemia, and said, "It's almost done. I've found the person who was spying on us and dealt with him. There were also two people who infiltrated the Special Task Force. They were dealt with together."
Euphoria didn't raise her head, but her ears were pricked up. When she heard Xiao Ran's words, her hands paused for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Ran with some surprise. "Mr. Knight, someone sneaked into the special force and is monitoring us? What's going on? "
"Yes." Xiao Ran gently nodded, and said, "Some people have their eyes on the unique resources of the 11th District. It's not just one or two forces, but I've already dealt with it. You don't have to worry too much. It's just that more and more people have their eyes on the 11th District. So, Your Highness, if there's nothing important, try not to leave the Governor's Mansion. Even if you want to leave the Governor's Mansion, you must bring along Dusk and have the entire Freikorps protect you.
Euphemia put down the knife and fork in her hand, shook her head, and asked, "I want to know what's going on, Mr. Knight."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then said, "At first, it was Dusk who warned me that someone was spying on the Governor's Mansion. After I found this person, I learned from him that their goal was to get close to us and control us. This way, they could control the 11th District and obtain more cherrystone resources. And it's not just one force behind him that has their eyes on the 11th District, but many different forces."
"At the same time, I also learned that two of his companions had infiltrated the Special Task Force, so I went to Loide's place and dealt with all three of them. But we don't know if there are others who have their eyes on the 11th District and will do something to you, so it's best if you don't leave the Governor's Mansion. There are Freikorps and Dusk in the Governor's Mansion, which are enough to ensure your safety under any circumstances."
Euphemia stood up, "No, I have to inform my country about this. The 11th District is the most important resource of the Empire. There can't be any problems."
Xiao Ran unhurriedly took a bite of the steak he had cut, then said, "Your Highness, why do you think two Knights of the Round Table would come to the 11th District for no reason and stay there for so long without doing anything? Or why I haven't received any notice to go to my country even after Bismarck's recommendation and the combat assessment has been so long ago. "
Euphemia's expression froze, and she reacted quickly, "Mr. Knight, do you mean that my father and the others already know about this? The two Knights of the Round Table and you stayed here to deal with this kind of situation? "
Xiao Ran nodded gently, "That should be the case, but the two Knights of the Round Table probably came with orders. As for me, it's more likely that I stayed here just in case. After all, although I'm a knight, I don't have my own body. Anyway, Your Highness, you don't have to worry, and you don't have to deliberately do anything. You just need to stay in the Governor's Mansion and not let those people take advantage of the opportunity to expose our biggest weakness. To me, you're a weakness, but to others, it's not the same."
Euphemia didn't quite understand, especially when she heard Xiao Ran's last sentence. She was a little happy, but also a little confused. What did he mean when he said that she was his weakness and not others'?
"I know, I won't go out." Euphemia glanced at Xiao Ran and sat down again. She looked a little worried, "Do we really not need to contact our country?"
Xiao Ran said, "I know you're worried that something will happen in the 11th District, but nothing has happened yet. The Empire also needs more forces to stabilize the situation that is gradually becoming more chaotic. We also need to know who is targeting Cherry Stone in the 11th District. If we really add more forces to the 11th District now, we'll be alerting the enemy. Also, we can't always leave a strong force in the 11th District, so it's meaningless for you to contact our country."
"I've also made some urgent arrangements for these people. Just leave it to me. Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much. Besides, we don't know if there are really so many forces that want to take over the 11th district. Everything is just speculation. Or maybe it's just information from people you can't trust. There's no need to be so nervous."
"As long as I'm here, and with those two useless Knights of the Round Table, there won't be any problems in the 11th District. Just trust me, Your Highness." At this point, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled, "There's also the Black Knights. Aren't they allies of justice? If someone really messes around in the 11th District, I believe they won't just sit back and do nothing."
Euphemia nodded hesitantly. She seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she still agreed with Xiao Ran because she trusted him. However, Xiao Ran didn't want Euphemia to contact their country because he was worried that their country would find out about something. It was just that Xiao Ran knew that even if Euphemia really did contact their country, it wouldn't be of any use.
So what if they knew that someone was spying on the 11th District? So what if they knew that the people monitoring the Governor's Mansion were from the Scarlet Knights? Charles still needed the Scarlet Knights' power. So in the end, this matter would just be left unsettled. It would only create a small gap between the two sides, but it would also expose that he was the one who captured the three guys and killed one of them.
At present, Xiao Ran didn't want the other side to act too aggressively, so it was better not to inform them for the time being. It was better to pretend that nothing happened.
The reason why Zhao suddenly mentioned this at the dining table was that he hoped that Euphemia would know from Xiao Ran that the 11th District wasn't safe now. It would be best if she stayed in the Governor's Mansion obediently and didn't go anywhere. At the same time, it was also a form of insurance for Euphemia. Otherwise, Ryukino wouldn't know how to make Euphemia stay at home obediently, especially when she was his subordinate.
Euphemia nodded gently, "Well, I believe that your Mr. Knight will be fine, right?"
"Of course." Xiao Ran nodded, "But we still need to make some arrangements and preparations. Zhao, inform Jeremiah that from today onwards, the Governor's Mansion will be in a state of martial law. Mobilize all the Freikorps. Double the number of guards in the cherry stone mining area, transportation, storage, and other places. At the same time, all people entering and leaving the city must be registered and identified."
Ryukino responded, "Okay."
Xiao Ran asked, "What work does Your Highness have to deal with in the near future?"
Ryukino thought for a while, then said, "It's nothing particularly important. The reconstruction and construction of the five new ELEVEN towns on the edge of the city originally required Your Highness to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, but you can let the Deputy Governor go. There's nothing else."
Xiao Ran put down the cutlery in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said, "Also tell the Deputy Governor that if there's anything difficult to handle, other than leaving it to Your Highness to deal with and decide, he can do as he sees fit."
After that, he looked at Euphemia, "If it's possible, I want the two Knights of the Round Table to take over part of the garrison. On one hand, there will be no problems with the cherry stone mining, and on the other hand, it can also strengthen the security in the city. Also, if the two Knights of the Round Table come over, we can hand over some military forces to them to command, and it can also show our country that we are aware of the situation and have begun to make preparations."
"To be honest, other than Jeremiah, who is now in charge of the Freikorps, there really isn't any qualified commander in the 11th District to control and command the garrison. We can also use this opportunity to let the two Knights of the Round Table train the garrison and understand the situation of the garrison, so that they can make reasonable commands when something happens."
"After all, with my identity, although I can command the Freikorps, it's still a little inappropriate for me to command the entire garrison, and Jeremiah's identity is even more inappropriate."
Of course, Euphoria did not have any objections to Xiao Ran's suggestion. Besides, it was normal for Knights of the Round Table to command a garrison. Now, the two Knights of the Round Table were probably here to guard against any possible accidents that might happen in the 11th District. Handing over command of the garrison to the two Knights of the Round Table was also a show of respect to the Empire's mainland. At the very least, it showed that Euphoria was reasonable.
