"So soon?" Xiao Ran lowered his head slightly and asked in a slightly puzzled tone, "Is the situation in the Empire this serious? The person who came to tell me about the situation in each war zone didn't tell me this.
? Huo Ranwen? W w? W? R? A? N? W? E? Na? com? "
Bismarck shook his head and gestured for Xiao Ran to get into the car. As he walked, he said, "The current situation in the Empire is indeed serious, but it is not serious enough to send out the Knights of the Round Table. Although there have always been conflicts in each war zone, with the addition of the Scarlet Knights, the chaotic situation has been calmed down a lot. However, this has not affected the other forces who are eyeing us covetously."
"You probably won't notice it in the peaceful areas of the Empire, but in every battle zone, the Scarlet Knights have sent out their own forces to provide support. Now, they have become the most powerful elite force on the battlefield. With the addition of the Scarlet Knights, they have gradually gained a lot of supporters. Their prestige and reputation are growing bigger and bigger. In terms of strength, they are now on par with the other bases. Because we need their strength, their opinions have become something that we have to pay attention to."
"But you know, although the Scarlet Knights have the Knights of the Round Table, they are not actually knights."
Xiao Ran understood everything after Bismarck said this. He waited until he got into the car before he said, "I understand what you mean. You want me to go to the frontline to restore the reputation of the Knights of the Round Table and show off my strength appropriately. The purpose is to reduce the influence of the Scarlet Knights on the border army, belittle them, and improve myself. After all, the Knights of the Round Table are directly under His Majesty's command. Although the Scarlet Knights have the Knights of the Round Table, they are still mercenaries. They can't be allowed to continue expanding their influence on the military, right?"
Bismarck was not surprised that Xiao Ran could say this. He nodded and said, "Yes, although the Knights of the Round Table have been regarded as the most powerful force in the Empire, it has been a while since they really showed their strength. Sending you, who is now recognized as the most powerful person in the Empire, to show your strength is the right thing to do. However, you must establish the intention that the Knights of the Round Table are stronger than the Scarlet Knights and that their status is higher than the Scarlet Knights. At the same time, you need to intimidate the enemies around you."
"Is this His Majesty's idea?" Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then once it's confirmed that I'm going to the frontline, I'll probably be very busy for a long time, and I'll also have to go through a lot of bitter battles. In fact, this is just a show, haha, and also a reminder to the Scarlet Knights."
Bismarck's only eye flickered. He did not say anything and only confirmed Xiao Ran's guess with silence. Of course, in addition to showing off their strength to restore the invincible golden body of the Knights of the Round Table and telling everyone that the Knights of the Round Table were the most powerful force in the Empire, it was also a reminder to the Scarlet Knights that even without them, the Knights of the Round Table could still stabilize the situation in the Empire. If they wanted more support from the Empire, they had to play their part, not do things they should not do, and not try to expand their influence on the border army.
At the same time, it was also a reminder to the generals of the border army not to do anything wrong. Of course, as the Emperor, Charles should not have too many doubts about the loyalty of the border army soldiers. In the whole of Britaria, the loyalty of the military to the Emperor had always been guaranteed.
Xiao Ran directly guessed the plans of Charles and Bismarck. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran said, "I won't be going to the frontline alone. I can agree to this matter. If you need me to reorganize the border army, this is not a problem. But if you want to send some monitoring team to confirm whether the border army has begun to have relations with the Scarlet Knights, it is best to tell me about this. I don't want to be in the dark when I am at the frontline."
Bismarck's eyebrows could not help but twitch twice. He said in a muffled voice, "Of course."
Xiao Ran smiled and glanced at Luciano and Monica who had already sat in the front seat of the car. He said, "Of course, it doesn't make much sense for me to go to the border army alone as the main force. After all, a person's energy is limited. If these two little guys don't have any other tasks arranged, they can follow me. If the other Knights of the Round Table don't have any arrangements, I can take them with me."
Bismarck frowned and began to think about the feasibility of this matter. However, the situation was indeed as Xiao Ran said. Sending only one Knight of the Round Table to the frontline did make sense, but it was impossible to really send only one main force, Xiao Ran, to the frontline. Not to mention that the monitoring team that had been directly exposed by Xiao Ran had to follow Xiao Ran, they definitely had to prepare a group of powerful subordinates for Xiao Ran to accompany him.
Otherwise, Xiao Ran would inevitably still use the Scarlet Knights in the frontline battle. In that case, it would give the Scarlet Knights a chance to make contributions and gain reputation. The purpose of suppressing them would not be achieved at all. Besides, there was another factor, which was to continue to establish Xiao Ran's position as an enemy of the Scarlet Knights.
Now that the Scarlet Knights' strength was indispensable, the result was that they had a monopoly. Xiao Ran was chosen by Bismarck and Charles as a flag with strength and brains. He was also a chess piece. It was to let him suppress the Scarlet Knights to achieve a balance, and not let the entire Knights of the Round Table become the complete opposite of the Scarlet Knights.
Otherwise, the transcendent status of the Knights of the Round Table would be affected, and to a certain extent, the Scarlet Knights would be elevated to an existence equal to the Knights of the Round Table, which would send out a wrong signal to the outside world. After all, only when the strength of each side was equal would there be a need to contend and balance. This would make others think that the Scarlet Knights might be another Knights of the Round Table.
However, if Xiao Ran was alone, it was only his personal matter to oppose the Scarlet Knights. Once he suppressed the Scarlet Knights, it meant that the Knights of the Round Table were stronger. If he could not suppress them, then Xiao Ran would have no value.
Xiao Ran glanced at Bismarck with a half-smile and said, "Are you really not worried about such a big mess? Even if you are, it doesn't mean that I can handle it alone. Besides, my roots are always with Her Highness Euphemia in the 11th District. I will do the things that are entrusted to me, but it doesn't mean that I will stay there every day. When I leave, there must be someone who can control the situation. "
Bismarck took a deep breath and nodded at Xiao Ran. He said in a deep voice, "I will report to His Majesty, but only Luciano and Monica can leave with you. The other Knights of the Round Table and I still need to stay here in case anything happens. However, I can't promise you whether His Majesty will agree or not."
Xiao Ran smiled and did not continue the topic. He just said, "I have no more problems here. I will have to trouble Knight Bismarck to arrange a transport plane for me. Lancelot should also be sent back to the 11th District as soon as possible."
"I will arrange it." Bismarck nodded. Xiao Ran also fell silent. The two sitting in front also did not speak, so the car became very quiet. Four people, four Knights of the Round Table, in the same car, with different thoughts, quickly left the practice field where a battle had just ended not long ago.
Xiao Ran did not ask where they were going. He just quietly closed his eyes and took a nap, thinking about what Charles and Bismarck were planning. The 11th District was not very stable now. Although there were already two Knights of the Round Table in the 11th District, which meant that Charles and Britaria attached great importance to the stability of the 11th District, Bismarck should know very well that those two were no match for an organization like the Scarlet Knights. However, why did they have to transfer him out of the 11th District when nothing was certain?
Of course, this might not be directed at him or Euphemia, but Xiao Ran felt a little strange. Did the Scarlet Knights really give Charles so much pressure? Why did Charles have to continue to promote the Knights of the Round Table now? What was the purpose of being in such a hurry to suppress the rising reputation of the Scarlet Knights in the country?
In fact, Xiao Ran really did not expect Charles and Bismarck to be so anxious, but he had long been mentally prepared to leave the 11th District for other theatres in a short period of time. After all, to become a Knight of the Round Table, one had to show some real achievements. But now, Xiao Ran felt that something was pushing Charles to do so immediately. This made Xiao Ran a little confused. This promotion was a little too rushed, and although it was to help him suppress the Scarlet Knights and continue to raise the reputation of the Round Table, was it really appropriate to use him as a tool?
After all, Xiao Ran was the one who benefited the most from this promotion process, wasn't he? He was simply a rising star in the Empire. Was this to establish him as a Knight of the Round Table with the greatest power and prestige other than Bismarck?
But on second thought, perhaps Bismarck had never cared so much about Britaria. This country was also just a tool for him. His real purpose was to create a brand new world, and he was willing to pay any price for it. This guy was also a person with an extremely complicated inner world.
If Xiao Ran and the Scarlet Knights were all chess pieces used by Charles to create a brand new world, and the real purpose was not to stabilize the chaotic situation in Britaria, then perhaps Charles had a deeper plan in mind, and Bismarck was just a simple executor.
In that case, could the appearance of Ania, the possessor of Mariana, in the 11th District also be a part of Charles and Mariana's plan? Could it be that Xiao Ran was pushed out not only to suppress the Scarlet Knights, but also to transfer him out of the 11th District? Furthermore, it was to attract the attention of the Scarlet Knights and other forces? And to make Mariana, who was only left with her soul and spirit, do something else in the 11th District?
For the time being, Xiao Ran couldn't understand this, but at least he was a little sure of one thing. No matter what the two of them were scheming, their ultimate goal wasn't him. They were just using him as a tool and chess piece.
When Luciano's car arrived at the palace again, what happened next wasn't too surprising to Xiao Ran. It was another cocktail party, but this time, it was held for him. It was to introduce Xiao Ran to the real nobles of Britaria, and let Xiao Ran have a more basic impression of these people. At this time, his identity was different. Although he didn't have a real noble title, as a Knight of the Round Table, he was still fawned upon by many people. However, Charles didn't appear at all during the entire cocktail party. Bismarck stayed for a short while before leaving. Even the defeated Scarlet Knights didn't participate in the party.
And until the end of the cocktail party, Bismarck didn't appear again. No one came to inform Xiao Ran about the matter of selecting a mech from the Scarlet Knights.
After leaving the palace, Xiao Ran also directly returned to his temporary residence. But not long after he closed the door, Xiao Ran had already disappeared from the suite. He changed into another set of clothes and quietly left the capital for the outskirts outside.
When Xiao Ran arrived, the black shapeshifting fighter was parked in a dark corner of a cliff where it was difficult to be noticed. In front of the shapeshifting fighter, Luluxiu, who was wearing a black suit and holding a helmet, and Liukino, who was also wearing a similar outfit, were sitting in front of a bonfire. When they heard footsteps, they stood up immediately. After seeing that it was Xiao Ran, they also relaxed.
Xiao Ran extended his hand to greet the two with a smile. He walked to the bonfire and nodded at Luluxiu, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"I didn't wait long." Luluxiu held Zero's helmet and looked up calmly at Xiao Ran. "Congratulations, Second Knight of the Round Table, Lord Luluxiu."
"You're welcome." Xiao Ran said and smiled at Liukino. "Thank you for your hard work."
Liukino smiled and shook his head. He gently smoothed his hair behind his back. "Do you need me to do anything this time?"
"Luluxiu and I will handle this matter. You pilot the mech and stand by nearby. If there's any danger, I will contact you immediately."
Luluxiu frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that Xiao Ran was in a bad mood. He directly said, "Why did you call us here?"
