Xiao Ran knew very well that he couldn't influence the thoughts of the participants too much. Therefore, the true meaning of his words was that the participants would become the best tools to guide them to do things according to his wishes.
It was inevitable that Xiao Ran couldn't gain the true loyalty of the participants. Even if he used the geass ability, the effect would be limited in the face of these super or fantasy participants. Even the foolish Rosefinch could resist it with her own strength. In this case, the effect on the participants would be even weaker.
But it didn't mean that Lelouch couldn't do it. Lelouch's geass was very direct and implanted orders that made it almost impossible for the participants to resist. Unless one's mental strength was several times stronger than Lelouch's and reached Xiao Ran's level, one could safely ignore the influence of Lelouch's geass. As for people like Ryukino, even though his mental strength wasn't as strong as Xiao Ran's, his body was just a tool because of the characteristics of his race. His true core was his soul, so he could also ignore the influence of Lelouch's geass.
However, in the entire Scarlet Knights, there might not be anyone with a mental strength comparable to Xiao Ran, and there might not be a member of the Demonified Race. Moreover, most of the members of the Scarlet Knights didn't have high levels, so there wasn't much of a chance for them to resist Luluxiu's geass.
Besides, Lelouch didn't need to do too much. He didn't need to talk about loyalty. All he needed to do was to issue an order that no betrayal was allowed. Even if the participants who received the order could remain conscious, Xiao Ran was sure that at least in their personal status bar and mission faction, there would definitely be a notification that their faction was completely nailed and no betrayal was allowed. As long as this was achieved, they would have complete control over the Blood Knights.
After all, once a participant joined a faction, they would share glory and disgrace with the faction. As long as the faction and the legion didn't go against each other, unless one of them was eliminated, there was almost no possibility of the participant legion betraying the faction after joining. It wasn't that easy to get the chance to change factions. In addition, with the 'geass' that Lelouch had given them, they could achieve the effect of double insurance, making it impossible for the Bloody Knights to leave the faction completely. Moreover, it wasn't that easy to get the chance to change factions. In addition, with the 'geass' that Lelouch had given them, they could achieve the effect of double insurance, completely eliminating all possibility of the Bloody Knights leaving the faction.
Although Lelouch had heard so much from Xiao Ran, he still had some doubts about whether he could really reach a deal with the Blood Knights. But after thinking about it seriously, Lelouch, who had the geass ability, felt that it would be a good thing if he could really subdue the Blood Knights. Besides, there wouldn't be a situation where he couldn't get rid of the Blood Knights. It would also allow him to have a powerful force in Butaria that was truly independent of the Black Knights.
After all, the Black Knights were still in the early stages of development and it would take a lot of time for them to truly grow. While the Black Knights were growing stronger, they would be able to tide over the weakest period of the Black Knights. If the Scarlet Knights wanted more resources, they would exchange more resources for Yinfang's help. Both sides were using each other and Luluxiu wasn't worried at all about who was using who in the end.
The two of them discussed how to contact the Scarlet Knights, what to say and what to do after the trade. Xiao Ran also gave Lulu Xiu some pointers.
Then, Lelouch took off his Zero uniform and changed into another set of clothes. Together with Xiao Ran, they arrived at the base of the Blood Knights under the cover of the night.
As for the Scarlet Knights, they had absolute confidence in their strength. They weren't worried that anyone would run to the vicinity of the capital of Britaria and attack their base. Therefore, the entire base basically didn't have any real guards or patrols. However, in front of the gate, they still arranged for some people to sit in the duty room and guard the gate.
When Xiao Ran and Luluxiu approached the base, they saw that the brightly lit base was not as quiet as the Chushi base should be. Instead, they could hear some noises from time to time. Even the duty room was quite lively. A few people were drinking and gambling together, and it was very pleasant.
However, these people were still vigilant. When Xiao Ran and Lelouch approached the duty room, the noise inside quieted down. Three people wearing red uniforms with different hairstyles and personalities rushed to the door. Several pairs of sharp eyes stared at Xiao Ran and Lelouch.
But after seeing the masked Xiao Ran, a trace of astonishment appeared in their eyes. Then, a trace of cruelty and joy flashed in the eyes of one of them. It was as though he was pleasantly surprised that Xiao Ran took the initiative to come to him. It was as though he didn't want to take the path to heaven, but barged into hell instead.
Standing beside Xiao Ran was Lelouch, who was also tall but not worth mentioning compared to Xiao Ran. He was directly ignored by the three people.
The three people swaggered to the front of Xiao Ran and Lelouch. They glanced at Lelouch, who didn't have much of a presence, and then sneered at Xiao Ran. "Oh, isn't this the honorable Knight of the Round Table, Lelouch? May I know why Sir Lelouch has come to visit us? Aren't you afraid that no one can help you if something happens? Hahaha."
Seeing that the three people didn't have the intention to pay attention to him, Lelouch chuckled and took a step back to stand behind Xiao Ran. Not only did he want to let Xiao Ran deal with the three people, but he also knew that if the three people suddenly attacked him, even if his current physical fitness was completely different from before, his motor nerves and perception couldn't completely keep up with the improvement of his physical fitness. Moreover, he knew that the members of the Scarlet Knights were different from others. He couldn't possibly be a match for them now. If something really happened, he would instead become a burden to Xiao Ran. Retreating to let the more powerful Xiao Ran take the lead wasn't a selfish thing, but for the sake of the overall situation.
Facing the three people, Xiao Ran wasn't worried at all. He didn't take the threats of the three people to heart at all. He simply said calmly, "There is no such thing as high sky and dark road in Britaria. If something really happens, the first person to stand up and protect me will definitely be you. The reason is very simple, because if something happens to me, you will be the first person to be suspected. This way, it will be impossible for you to obtain more cherry stones from Britaria."
"Tell your leader that Lelouch has come to visit. I have a big business to cooperate with him. Why don't you ask him if he wants to see me? Of course, if you refuse, you will definitely regret it."
Xiao Ran didn't intend to reveal his strength now. Even if his Psychokinesis could suppress the three of them in an instant, there was no need to talk nonsense with them. Before reaching a true cooperation with the other party, impulsiveness and blindness wouldn't bring about any good results. Everything could wait until the cooperation was reached. At the very least, he couldn't make a move under such circumstances.
Besides, if he directly revealed his strength now, it was very likely that the other party would discover his identity as a participant. However, if he displayed the power of Geass appropriately, it would be easy to explain away his Psychokinesis.
It wasn't that there weren't any idiots among the participants. Impulsive people could be found everywhere. However, many of the participants were able to act appropriately at the right time. For example, right now. The participant who spoke took a deep look at Xiao Ran and sneered, "Then I'll have to trouble Knight Lelouch to wait for a while."
After saying that, the participant signaled his two companions with his eyes, as if telling them to keep an eye on Xiao Ran. He then turned around and walked into the duty room, using the communication device to contact the leader of the Scarlet Knights.
A few minutes later, the participant came out and said to Xiao Ran and Lelouch, "Let's go. Our leader wants to see you."
Xiao Ran didn't say anything. He only nodded slightly and was led into the base by the three participants. They walked slowly all the way to the tallest building in the base. As they went deeper into the base, more and more people appeared in front of Xiao Ran and Lelouch's eyes. Some were wearing red uniforms, some were wearing casual clothes, and some were shirtless. It didn't look like a military base at all. The way they looked at Xiao Ran and Lelouch was a little strange, as if they were looking at prey.
When they reached the door of the room where the leader of the Scarlet Knights was, the participant who led the way was about to knock on the door. Xiao Ran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "What's your name?"
The participant's hand paused for a moment. He turned around and looked at Xiao Ran with a sneer, "Knight Lelouch, what's the matter? Do you want to take revenge on me? Oh, remember, my name is Phillips. If you want to take revenge on me, come at me. "
"Lelouch." After Xiao Ran learned the guy's name, he didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he whispered to Lelouch, "Don't you think his mouth is a little smelly?"
"I think so too." Lelouch chuckled. He slowly raised his head and looked at the participant with his own eyes. Both of his eyes turned red at the same time, causing the person named Phillips to be stunned. Then, he gradually became a little sluggish. He heard Lelouch say, "From now on, without my permission, you can't speak anymore."
Following Lelouch's order, the red flying bird 'flew' into the participant's eyes. It was as if the bird had imprinted itself on the participant's mind. In the blink of an eye, the participant seemed to have woken up again. However, there was a little bit of red light in his eyes, which made it seem like he hadn't woken up at all. Slowly, the red light in the participant's eyes disappeared completely. He then looked at the smiling Lelouch with an extremely puzzled and shocked gaze.
The other two participants who had been guarding Xiao Ran and Lelouch didn't become the target of Lelouch's geass. They didn't even look at each other. However, they still saw a blurry red light flashing and heard Lelouch muttering to himself. The strange situation made the two of them immediately alert. They reached out and prepared to take down Xiao Ran and Lelouch directly.
But in the next second, the two participants who were about to make a move found that they had completely lost control of their bodies. It wasn't that they couldn't control their bodies, but that a huge force had completely bound their bodies, making it impossible for them to move at all. They couldn't even open their mouths. The only thing they could control was their eyes. At this moment, they couldn't help but reveal a look of fear and horror.
As for Phillips, after regaining his senses, he threw a punch at Xiao Ran's head. He opened his mouth wide and was about to shout, but his whole body suddenly stopped. It was as if he had turned into a stone statue, unable to move. But the key was that Xiao Ran didn't do anything to this guy at all. This guy just stopped by himself.
Xiao Ran glanced at Phillips, whose eyes were glowing with a red light, before turning to look at Luluxiu. With a faint smile on his face, he turned to face the door. He didn't knock on the door as the person inside had already walked out and opened the door on his own accord.
When the door opened, two more figures appeared before Xiao Ran and Luluxiu's eyes. These two people were also wearing red uniforms, but they were relatively neatly dressed and looked much more luxurious than the three participants standing outside the door. Among the two people, the first one was tall and had a pair of dignified eyes, while the second one had a bandage wrapped around his forehead. When he looked at Xiao Ran, his expression was one of indignation and anger. However, when he noticed the reaction of his three subordinates outside the door, he immediately stared at Xiao Ran with extreme vigilance.
The person walking in front looked at the smiling Xiao Ran with a mask, then at Lelouch who was standing behind Xiao Ran. While on guard, he said in a deep voice, "Knight Lelouch, I don't know what you mean by this. What did you do to my subordinates?"
"Nothing. I just felt that they were too impolite, so I gave them a little lesson. At least let them know that in Britaria, the dignity of the Knights of the Round Table and the Royal Prince is absolutely not to be offended." Xiao Ran said casually, then looked at the two people who came out of the door. "Don't you two need to introduce yourselves? I don't know much about the Scarlet Knights, but I'm also quite curious. I wonder which one of you is the leader of the Scarlet Knights?"
