After some time, Xiao Ran adjusted the parameters of the Mech and sat in the cockpit with his eyes closed. Suddenly, Cecil's voice rang in his ears. "My Lord, it's time."
Opening his eyes, Xiao Ran gently stretched his neck and said, "Why did you have to make this into an exhibition match? After waiting for so long, the men in the audience are finally going to sit down?"
Cecil pretended not to hear Xiao Ran's words. Instead, he said, "KF can directly enter the arena from the side passage. His Majesty and the ministers are already seated. My Lord, you must be careful not to attack the seats."
"Understood." Xiao Ran started the Mech and placed both hands on the control stick. He gently stepped on the pedal and controlled the Mech to move toward the passage that Cecil mentioned. After passing through a short passage, Xiao Ran walked out of the passage and saw a flat field made of earth and stone.
Looking around the entire venue, apart from a few warehouses and buildings that were neatly arranged around the venue, there was nothing else that was in a mess. This made the venue look quite clean and spacious. About one or two kilometers away from the venue, there was a special building with a huge stand. At this moment, the Emperor was sitting in that place and watching everything through a remote video feed.
Not long after, a Mech slowly slid out of a warehouse near the field. After seeing the Mech, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. The corners of his mouth curled up as he muttered softly, "Interesting."
The mech that appeared had a tall horn, and its body was mainly white with red patterns. There were also two small shields on both sides of its arms, and two sword locks were also on the back of the cockpit. Its armor and head looked like a knight.
And the reason why Xiao Ran showed such an expression was because apart from the secondary paint color being different from the golden color of the Lancelot he was piloting, it was clearly a reconstructed Lancelot that was exactly the same as the one he was piloting now. Its appearance, shield, and sword were exactly the same, but it lacked the electromagnetic rifle that Lloyd insisted on Cecil bringing over. At the same time, it didn't carry any long-range weapons.
"An airframe that's not inferior to Lancelot's performance. It's a reconstructed version of Lancelot. Does this mean that the airframe's performance has to be completely balanced to the same extent, and then the outcome will be determined purely based on technology? Does this mean that the other side will be convinced regardless of whether they win or lose?"
The two Mechs gradually approached each other according to the instructions and stopped about fifty meters away from each other. This was a distance where both sides could approach each other in an instant.
"Bzzz …"
There was some noise in the cockpit, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a man's voice. "Luluxiu … Are you Luluxiu?"
Xiao Ran was very calm. "You know me?"
The man laughed and said, "Haha, who in Britaria doesn't know you now? The new Knight of the Round Table, Luluxiu, you're very strong, but that's all. You can't win today's battle. If you want our mecha, we'll see if you have the strength. If you can beat me, you can choose any mecha of the Scarlet Knights as long as it's a mecha. But if you lose, you have to promise us one thing. What do you think?"
"We'll only know if I can win after we fight. I don't have any intention of making a deal with you." Xiao Ran said without any emotion. "Besides, I don't have the habit of chatting with my opponent before a battle. That's all for the boring conversation."
As soon as Xiao Ran's voice fell, he unilaterally turned off the communication. The expression of the guy on the other Lancelot No.2 stiffened. He gritted his teeth and laughed, as if talking to himself. "Luluxiu, could this Luluxiu be that Luluxiu?"
Xiao Ran didn't know what the other party was thinking, but the fact that the other party actually tried to make a deal with him before the battle was indeed a little unexpected. Moreover, from the tone of the other party's voice, at least the attitude he showed was obviously more friendly. Even if this friendliness seemed a little fake, it seemed like he wanted to get closer to Xiao Ran.
However, if it was because of the name Luluxiu, it was very possible that the other party wanted to get closer to him. However, Xiao Ran didn't want to have too much interaction with the other party now. In order to prevent the identity of the participant from being leaked, it was not a good opportunity to communicate with the other party now.
Emperor Charles also didn't want to be left out. He stood up from the observation deck in the distance and started talking again. He wanted to boost the morale and win the hearts of the people. He talked for a few minutes and then announced the start of the battle.
On the battlefield, Xiao Ran unilaterally turned off the communication so that the other party couldn't say anything. He simply didn't say anything and used his actions to express his thoughts. He didn't even need a long-range weapon and directly pulled out two high-vibration long swords. Then, he pointed one sword at the ground and the other sword at Xiao Ran's Lancelot. It was exactly the same as when Xiao Ran dealt with Keno.
"Idiot."
The horn on Xiao Ran's head had been completely shattered by this wave of attacks. As for the rest of his arms, shoulders, and legs, only a few scars had appeared, allowing Xiao Ran to bravely take a step towards Great Master Bian.
The participant pilot in the Lancelot's cockpit widened his eyes. He didn't expect the Knight of the Round Table in front of him to be so unconventional. He had already pulled out his melee weapon, but the other party still didn't give him any face and shot him a few times. How was this a righteous Knight of the Round Table?
From the screen of the mech's system, the participant clearly knew what kind of damage his mech had suffered. Other than the sharp horn on his head that was more decorative than practical, the mech's body was clearly not affected too much. However, this participant definitely didn't think that Xiao Ran was really a Great Master Bian. This was because the first shot had already broken the horn of his mech, and the subsequent attacks were clearly purposely brushing past his mech's body. It was a complete provocation. It was clearly telling him that he had the ability to defeat him, but he wouldn't use such a method.
This participant also put away his initial playful attitude under Xiao Ran's provocation. It couldn't be denied that this participant had indeed underestimated Xiao Ran. Not only did he underestimate his opponent, he didn't even take this battle seriously. It was already good enough that he didn't pick his nose in the cockpit. He also didn't think that Xiao Ran would unreasonably use a long-range weapon. How far was 50 meters? For the two KFs, especially for the electromagnetic weapon in the Lancelot's hands, it was a distance that could be covered in an instant.
At this moment, this participant was completely unprepared and unprepared. When facing Xiao Ran's Lancelot attack, it was already good enough that he didn't panic. However, at the same time, he also didn't have the time to react and make too many dodging actions. He only made the mech tilt twice, but even so, the attack launched by Xiao Ran's Lancelot still left a small mark on the opponent's mech's armor.
When Xiao Ran opened fire, the other mech didn't move at all. Not only did this participant fail to react, even the many spectators on the distant viewing platform failed to react. However, as the video was replayed at ultra-low speed, many people understood what was going on, especially on Xiao Ran's side. The golden Lancelot hung the long-range weapon in its hand behind the mech, then pulled out two similar high-vibration long swords and pointed them at the opponent twice. Those who saw this scene could basically see that Xiao Ran's attack just now was also a kind of provocation. Immediately, the spectators on the viewing platform burst into enthusiastic applause.
Teaching the opponent a lesson after the provocation, then putting away the long-range weapon and taking out the melee weapon to be fair was the demeanor of the Knights of the Round Table of the Empire. However, Xiao Ran's provocation was seen by everyone as the kindness of a powerful Knight of the Round Table to give the opponent a chance. Otherwise, why would he only break the opponent's leg when he had the chance to shoot the opponent in the head? Now that he took out the melee weapon, it was only to tell the opponent that the battle could officially begin. This was very chivalrous and very gentlemanly.
Xiao Ran's mood was very calm at this time. Under such circumstances, Xiao Ran had no intention of directly killing the opponent with a long-range weapon. After all, this battle was too public, and the opponent had also assumed a melee posture. If he really killed the opponent with a long-range weapon, it would leave a bad impression on him as a new Knight of the Round Table, and it would also give people the feeling that he had an unfair advantage.
However, if he just used the gun to tease the opponent and put it away, it would just be a pure display of strength. He would be telling the opponent that he could defeat the opponent at any time, but he would agree to the opponent's battle request.
The participant did not think that his moment of carelessness would lead to such a result. After he reacted, he only felt his face and ears turn red. When he looked at the golden Lancelot on the screen, he revealed hatred. If Xiao Ran had not deliberately held back and aimed directly at the cockpit, then this precious participant's life would probably be left in this world forever.
So for this participant, this was not only a matter of losing face, but also a matter of almost losing his life. This made the participant extremely angry and resentful. He almost died in the hands of this unworthy native. How could this participant accept this? How could he remain calm? The lingering fear made him feel extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, the thought of killing Xiao Ran really arose in his mind.
When he saw Xiao Ran's Lancelot pull out its melee weapon, he shouted and stepped on the pedal, controlling his Lancelot to charge towards Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran had already seen through the opponent's thoughts as soon as he made his move, but he did not choose to retreat. Instead, he controlled the Lancelot to rush towards the opponent. One side had a fiery momentum, and their movements were more direct and ruthless, while the other side was calm and unperturbed. A fierce battle was about to break out.
The two bodies collided with each other, but after the collision, they spun around at the same time, choosing the exact same way to dislocate and unload the force. However, the long blades of the two bodies collided with each other forcefully, and sparks burst out between the two bodies.
Sparks flew, and the long blades separated upon contact. Then, the second long blade slashed and collided again in mid-air. It seemed that they were evenly matched.
In just a short moment, the two bodies had slashed at each other twice in a row in the arena. Then, both of them bounced back at the same time. After the bodies landed and regained their balance, they slashed at each other in the same way. They separated and collided again and again. Not only the long blades in their hands, but their legs also became the weapons of the two bodies. The dazzling attacks from the top and bottom made it difficult for the onlookers to keep up. Whether it was Xiao Ran or the participant, both of them had maximized Lancelot's normal performance to the extreme, or even exceeded it.
Bismarck and the other Knights of the Round Table were also paying attention to the fight between the two bodies in the arena. Their expressions were serious and dignified. Bismarck already knew that Xiao Ran was very strong and should not be inferior to him, but the strength and details of the two bodies when they collided again and again in the arena allowed Bismarck, the First Knight of the Empire, to see more things.
Bismarck's heart trembled. He thought about what he would do if he were in the same position. But no matter how he looked at it, in Bismarck's opinion, Xiao Ran and the other person's operation was simply impeccable. No matter whether it was attacking or defending, there was no gap at all. The distance between the two bodies was never more than ten meters, and they were always circling around that ten-meter distance. However, the rhythm of their attack and defense did not fall off at all. The details were so fine that it was terrifying. If it were Bismarck, he was not sure if he could do such an operation and maintain the same level of skill for a long time in front of an enemy of equal strength.
