After deciding to let the two Knights of the Round Table take on part of the military affairs, he called the two Knights of the Round Table to the Governor-General's Mansion without delay.
After the two young Knights of the Round Table entered the Governor-General's Mansion, all they saw was a tight security. The guards who were on guard duty had arranged the entire Governor-General's Mansion so tightly that it was airtight. The two Knights of the Round Table could not help but frown at the situation as if they had encountered a great enemy.
After entering the mansion, the first person the two Knights of the Round Table saw was Xiao Ran. After being completely defeated by Xiao Ran, the two Knights of the Round Table were very respectful to Xiao Ran, especially Keno. After seeing Xiao Ran, he hurriedly put his hand on his chest and bowed to greet him, as if Xiao Ran was a big shot. Not only did he address him as' Sir ', but he also showed his respect.
Perhaps because of her personality, Ania's performance was not as exaggerated as Keno's. She was a little calmer, but at the very least, she still showed respect.
Seeing the two of them and facing their greetings, Xiao Ran just nodded gently in response. His gaze swept past Ania, and he frowned slightly under his mask, revealing a thoughtful expression.
After receiving Xiao Ran's reply, Keno stood up straight and nodded to the outside. He then asked Xiao Ran, "Sir Luluxiu, what's going on in the Governor-General's Mansion?"
Xiao Ran motioned for the two to follow. As he walked, he said, "We discovered a watcher earlier and learned that some people seem to be preparing to harm Her Highness Euphemia."
"Hmm?" The two Knights of the Round Table frowned. Keno hurriedly asked, "What's the situation? Did Her Highness encounter any danger?"
"It's fine. I've already dealt with that person." Xiao Ran waved his hand and said lightly, "Although I found and dealt with them while they were still under surveillance, their attempt to get close to Her Highness is absolutely unforgivable. In order to ensure Her Highness' safety, the Governor-General's Mansion will be under martial law from today onwards. Her Highness will not leave the Governor-General's Mansion for some time."
Keno asked, "Sir Luluxiu, could it be the Black Knights?"
Anya's face twitched when she heard that, and Xiao Ran chuckled inwardly when he noticed her expression.
"No." Xiao Ran stopped and turned to face the two of them. He said softly, "It's called the Scarlet Knights."
Keno stopped in his tracks, and Ania looked at Xiao Ran in surprise. Xiao Ran said, "I caught the watcher and interrogated him. He claimed to be a member of the Scarlet Knights conferred by His Majesty. I learned a lot from him. I think you should know more about the Scarlet Knights than I do."
"Based on the limited information, I know that the Empire needs their strength to maintain the stability of the various war zones. At least in this aspect, they have indeed done things that are beneficial to the Empire's stability. Because of this, I had to kill that person and act as if nothing had happened."
"But you don't have to worry that killing that person will cause the Scarlet Knights to be estranged from the Empire. It's precisely because I killed him that this matter is completely over. If there's a problem, we can push all the blame to the dead person. We can even say that the Black Knights killed him. This kind of tacit understanding is also a warning to the Scarlet Knights to not act recklessly."
"But if they know that the watcher is dead, but they don't know who killed him, they will probably be suspicious for a while. They won't be sure that it was us who did it, and it won't affect the relationship between the Empire and them. After all, the Scarlet Knights have many opponents, and there are so many people who have set their sights on the 11th District, right?"
Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, in my opinion, I don't care if they really know that I killed their man. In fact, I'm very willing to let them know this and then make trouble for me. This is because I absolutely can't forgive them for spying on Her Highness Euphemia. If the Scarlet Knights were stationed in the 11th District, it would have been razed to the ground by now."
Keno and Ania's breathing stagnated. They didn't expect Xiao Ran to say such words. He was overbearing and unreasonable, and his words were full of disdain for the Scarlet Knights, as if he didn't care about the overall situation of the Empire at all.
Keno smiled embarrassedly and didn't dare to say anything. Ania also lowered her head slightly and remained silent. Xiao Ran continued, "I know that you didn't come to the 11th District because of special reasons. You must have other missions. I don't care about these things, but since you are now in the 11th District, you need to do something for it."
"I have already received Her Highness' permission to hand over the command of part of the garrison in the 11th District to you. One of you will be responsible for the safety of the cherry stone mining area, and the other will be responsible for the city's garrison. It's up to you to decide who goes where. But there is one thing. After you take over command of this part of the garrison, you must familiarize yourself with the situation of the garrison in the 11th District as soon as possible.
Xiao Ran raised his hand and pointed in a direction ahead, "Her Highness is inside. You can talk to her personally. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, Xiao Ran didn't pay any attention to the two Knights of the Round Table who were much higher in status than him. He turned and left, quickly disappearing from their sight. Keno stared blankly for a long time before he smacked his lips and looked at Ania, "Hey, aren't we the Knights of the Round Table? Why do I feel like he's the Knight of the Round Table, and we're just his attendants? "
Ania rolled her eyes at Keno and said sullenly, "Then you have to be able to beat him first."
Keno immediately shut his mouth and didn't say anything else. He pulled Ania into the room that Xiao Ran had pointed to earlier.
Not long after, the two of them left the governor's mansion. According to their own wishes, Keno would head to the mining area to be responsible for the security of the cherry stone mining area, while Ania would take over the command of the garrison in the city. As for the other guy who seemed to have been forgotten, Gilbert, he was also given to Keno as his deputy and sent to the mining area together.
From the beginning, Xiao Ran and Euphemia didn't even consider that Cornelia's subordinate, Gilbert, would take over the command of part of the garrison. Previously, they had given him a lot of chores to do, but now, he was finally able to do something proper. However, he was also sent to the mining area and finally had no chance to continue being an eyesore in front of Xiao Ran. However, ever since Xiao Ran defeated Keno, Gilbert was very sensible and didn't appear in front of Xiao Ran again.
Xiao Ran didn't go with Keno and Ania to find Euphemia because he had to take care of the arrangement of the guards in the governor's mansion. He had to observe the entire governor's mansion from the perspective of a participant, and then set up the corresponding sentry posts and surveillance cameras at the corresponding places. The entire governor's mansion, except for the interior of the mansion, was included in the surveillance and defense network. As long as there was anyone who made a move, they would be able to react immediately. This arrangement and the installation of the new surveillance equipment took two days. After thoroughly completing all the arrangements, Xiao Ran once again went to the special mission to complete the upgrade of the transformation fighter as soon as possible.
But in less than two days, Xiao Ran received a notice from Liu Muye and hurriedly left the special mission to return to the governor's mansion. This time, not only were Euphemia and the other two present, but the two Knights of the Round Table, Keno, Ania, and Gilbert also appeared in the governor's mansion.
After seeing Xiao Ran, Gilbert took the initiative to bow to Xiao Ran with a complicated expression. Keno and Ania also bowed to Xiao Ran with their hands on their chests. Euphemia even smiled and bowed to Xiao Ran. Seeing everyone's performance, Xiao Ran immediately understood what was going on.
Glancing at everyone present, Xiao Ran said, "Your Highness, has the conferment of the Round Table arrived?"
Euphemia smiled and nodded. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. From today onwards, you are the Empire's new Knight of the Round Table, Luluxiu Xiao. There is no ranking for the time being. The Empire just informed us that you should immediately go to the Empire's headquarters to receive the official knighthood and reward."
Xiao Ran nodded gently. "Now?"
"Yes, now." Euphemia said, "The plane has been prepared for you. Bismarck said that he will personally pick you up. Everything has been arranged over there, so you'd better hurry over as soon as possible."
"Okay." Xiao Ran did not hesitate and nodded decisively. "Then I'll get ready and leave in a while."
"Lord Luluxiu." Keno suddenly raised his hand and said, "This time, in addition to receiving the official knighthood, you will have to accept or challenge other Knights of the Round Table as usual. But you have defeated me before, so I don't know what this challenge will be like. It's best to bring your body with you. Then you will have to undergo various military application tests such as strategy, command, and so on. If you don't pass, you will have to stay in the country to study for a period of time."
"There is also the ranking of knights. In addition to being judged by strength, another important factor to determine the ranking is the amount of contributions made. So, Lord Luluxiu, you may be immediately sent to a certain war zone. In addition to making corresponding contributions, it is also an opportunity to show your strength as a Knight of the Round Table to the outside world. Through this opportunity, you can also let more people recognize your identity as a Knight of the Round Table."
Xiao Ran nodded slowly and muttered, "I have no objection to going to a war zone. Since I am a Knight of the Round Table, this is also my duty. But after I leave, you must assist Her Highness Euphemia to maintain the reform and stability of the 11th District. I will also do my best to return to the 11th District as soon as possible."
"There is another question. Although I am a knight, in fact, I don't have my own body. Under such circumstances, will I still be sent to a war zone to carry out battle and command?"
Gilbert roughly knew what Xiao Ran's situation was. He knew that the Lancelot was not Xiao Ran's personal body. Now that Xiao Ran had been established as a Knight of the Round Table, his status and authority were completely above Gilbert's. So, at this time, it was inconvenient for him to say more meaningless things. After hearing Xiao Ran's words, he frowned slightly and suddenly felt that this question seemed to be a little difficult.
However, Keno and Ania did not know this situation. Keno asked with some doubts, "Is that Lancelot not your body, Sir Luluxiu? If you don't have a body, the Empire should have made the corresponding arrangements. "
"I'm just borrowing it. That body has a designated pilot, which is my second disciple, Suzaku Suzaku." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "To be honest, Her Highness Euphemia is also very clear that Lancelot's body is not suitable for me. Although that body is completely sufficient for a pilot of Suzaku's level, it is a great limitation for me. Bodies that are equal to or weaker than Lancelot are not suitable for me."
"In fact, the effective combat time I can operate that body will not exceed ten minutes. In other words, if I can't end the battle within ten minutes, I will also lose the ability to fight."
"Ten minutes!?" Keno's expression suddenly became a little strange. He looked up and down at Xiao Ran, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Euphemia did not let this doubt bother everyone for too long. She took the initiative to explain to everyone, "I know about this. I also heard from Loide that Lancelot can't withstand Sir Knight's operation. At most, after this time, the body will directly collapse and lose the ability to fight."
"The ability to make the body collapse!?"
All of a sudden, Keno, Ania, and Gilbert all looked at Xiao Ran in astonishment. But soon, Gilbert seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "So, Knight Xiao, this is the reason why you've been on a mission all this time? Is this the reason?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Gilbert, but there was no emotional fluctuation in his words. "Yes, the Special Mission is developing a new project. Loide hopes that I can become the test pilot for the new project. During this time, I have also participated in the research and development of the project. After all, I also hope to have a body that can fully display my strength."
"And the first test machine also needs to be adjusted according to my operating habits and ability. There are also many things to do."
Keno and Ania looked at each other. They only felt that they were becoming more and more confused about Xiao Ran's strength.
Xiao Ran shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I will be able to get a suitable airframe after the Special Task Force comes back with a result. Before that, I can only use other airframes for the time being. There should be airframes of similar quality in the country that can be lent to me temporarily."
Euphemia also had a headache about Xiao Ran's body, but there was no way to solve it now. They could only take one step at a time. After thinking for a while, Euphemia said, "If you can't, this time you can bring the pivot wood Suzaku and Lancelot with you. If you really need to use the body, the pivot wood Suzaku should be able to help a little."
"Bring Suzaku?" Xiao Ran thought for a while, then shook his head. "Now is not the time, but you should bring some people to help. I will bring Jeremiah and Villeta. You will be in charge of Freikorps."
