Xiao Ran and Luluxiu looked at each other and nodded slightly. They then followed Knight Corgi into the suite at the back. It was a suite with an office and a bedroom. As for the other three, the redness in Phillips' eyes slowly disappeared as he regained his senses. He stared blankly ahead, completely unaware of what had just happened. The other two also regained their mobility at the same time, but they didn't dare to make any movements. They could only look at Xiao Ran with fear in their eyes.
After Luluxiu sat down, Xiao Ran took the initiative to stand behind Luluxiu. This was also to show his position and identity to Knight Corgi.
Knight Corgi gently waved his hand at the guy with the bandage on his head. He then walked to the front of Luluxiu's seat. Like Xiao Ran, he didn't choose to sit down. Instead, he just stood there and bowed slightly to Luluxiu. "Your Highness, I apologize for my previous rudeness. May I know what Your Highness needs from us Scarlet Knights this time? If it's within our capabilities, we will definitely do our best to help Your Highness."
Corgi didn't know the relationship between His Highness Luluxiu and Knight Luluxiu. He didn't know what was going on between the two Luluxiu. However, the words that came out of Xiao Ran's mouth made Corgi's heart tremble. Therefore, his words contained a hint of concession.
Not only that, but Corgi also wanted to understand some of the things that Xiao Ran said. Therefore, he made an appropriate concession in order to obtain more important information from Xiao Ran.
Before arriving at the Scarlet Knights' encampment, Xiao Ran and Luluxiu had already discussed how to face the Scarlet Knights. Xiao Ran had also specially instructed Luluxiu on some topics and key points. Therefore, even if Xiao Ran didn't speak, Luluxiu knew what to say, what to do, and what kind of attitude to use to communicate with the Scarlet Knights.
Upon hearing Corgi's words, Luluxiu waved his hand slightly and said, "In front of us, you can call me Your Highness Luluxiu. As for my shadow, Knight Luluxiu, you can call him Knight Xiao."
Corgi took a deep breath and bowed to Luluxiu and Xiao Ran again, "Yes, Your Highness Luluxiu. Nice to meet you, Knight Xiao."
"You're welcome, Knight Corgi." Xiao Ran said softly, "I don't think Knight Corgi will doubt my identity. but I don't think you've heard of His Highness Luluxiu.
Xiao Ran's words could be said to be quite straightforward. Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, Corgi nodded and said, "To be honest, I haven't heard of His Highness Luluxiu in the Empire. However, with your identity as a Knight of the Round Table as a guarantee, I completely believe in His Highness Luluxiu's true identity."
Luluxiu also said, "I've left the palace for ten years. It's natural that you haven't heard of my identity. I'm the eleventh prince of Brittany and the seventeenth successor. My mother, Princess Mariana, was once the fifth princess. Ever since my mother was killed, I left the palace and completely disappeared from the eyes of the public. It's normal that the world has forgotten about me."
"But now that I'm back, this world will tremble because of my name. This Empire will fall into my hands and act according to my will. Knight Corgi, I'm here today to ask you to lead your Scarlet Knights and fully support me in obtaining the throne. As thanks for your support, I will also provide you with enough resources, such as the cherry stones that you need the most now. The current Governor of the 11th District, Euphemia, is my supporter. I think you should be clear about the significance of this matter."
The 11th District was the place that produced the most cherry stones in the world. Although the person in charge was Charles of Brittany, Euphemia, as the Governor of the 11th District, could be said to have the greatest influence on the 11th District. Although the cherry stone production distribution was carried out by the Empire, Euphemia could produce more cherry stones and give them to anyone who was worthy. Knight Corgi was very clear about this point. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent people to the 11th District to do some unnecessary things.
It had to be said that at least when Luluxiu proposed this, Corgi was indeed a little tempted. Not only him, but the other participant behind him was also quite tempted. The more cherry stones they could obtain, the more advantages they would have. This advantage would directly give them a greater lead among the ten legions and also the biggest chance to obtain victory in this battle royale. How could they not be tempted?
Corgi sorted out his emotions and asked tentatively, "Your Highness Luluxiu, what kind of support do you need from us?"
The corner of Luluxiu's mouth curled up slightly. "After all the preparations are completed, I will launch a coup. I need you to completely suppress all the military forces in the capital for me and spread your support to me. You will completely eliminate all the opponents and become a military force in my hands to assist me to sit on the throne and become the 99th Emperor of the Brittany Empire. I believe this should be a very simple matter for you with your powerful combat abilities."
Corgi was silent for a while and began to think about the feasibility of these few short sentences. Luluxiu's words were very simple, but it was precisely because of this simplicity that Corgi saw a higher possibility. If they supported Luluxiu to sit on the throne, it wouldn't be considered a betrayal of their camp. It would be completely an internal conflict and contradiction within their camp. They just had to choose a faction to support. Suppressing the military forces in the capital was not a problem at all as long as they had enough cherry stones. There was no military force in the capital that could be a match for the Scarlet Knights.
While Corgi was silent, Xiao Ran added, "In addition to the mutual support between us, His Highness will not pursue your past. He can give you cherry stones, including the other nine organizations. After His Highness ascends to the throne, he will fully support you in eliminating these unstable factors to the Empire."
"Based on the restriction in your bodies, even though I suspect that you are unable to betray the Empire because of the GEASS order from someone, we feel that you are the most trustworthy collaborators. Of course, this isn't enough for us to completely trust you. That is why His Highness has once again given you the King's order that you will never betray the Empire and His Highness Luluxiu."
Corgi raised his head abruptly, but all he could see was the faint smile on Xiao Ran's face under the mask. Before he could speak, he heard Xiao Ran continue, "This is a restriction on you and also the foundation of our cooperation. You can naturally choose to reject it, but the final result won't change. The only difference is that you'll get more benefits voluntarily or be forced to become a slave." Corgi's expression changed.
"There's also the power of GEASS. As long as His Highness feels that you've contributed, it's not like he can't give you the power. In short, as long as you stay by His Highness' side, you will receive far more than you can imagine."
When Corgi heard Xiao Ran's words, especially the last sentence, he felt a little amused and disdainful. But little did he know that the disdain in his heart had vaguely affected his view of Xiao Ran. He preconceived that Xiao Ran and Luluxiu were natives who were ignorant and narrow-minded.
But what Xiao Ran said about being willing to support them, be willing to use the power of the Empire to eliminate the other nine legions, and also be willing to give them the GEASS ability once again made Corgi's heart thump even more.
When Xiao Ran saw Corgi's expression, he said meaningfully, "No matter what, the most important thing is loyalty, sincerity, and honesty on both sides. It is also your dedication to His Highness. On the other hand, we will also provide you with unlimited support. This is something that the Scarlet Knights and Emperor Charles can't reach a consensus on, right?"
"He is afraid of you, but His Highness isn't. It is impossible for you to get more from him, but His Highness can. You should also have a special way to strengthen your people. This is the capital that you can provide. Similarly, we can give you the cherry stone and the GEASS ability. As long as you are honest, I think the Scarlet Knights can completely rely on His Highness and become the strongest armed force in His Highness' hands. You will also be able to pursue your goals and ambitions. This is a win-win situation and the only chance for you to grow faster."
"After all, if you want to gain more strength, you will also need the cherry stone to activate the bodies that are unique to you, right?"
Luluxiu stood up from his chair and followed Xiao Ran's words. He didn't give Corgi any chance to speak at all. Instead, he asked one sentence after another, pressuring Corgi with every sentence. He didn't even give Corgi any time to think before saying, "So now, Corgi Corgi, are you willing to accept my invitation and lead the entire Bloody Knights to follow me and assist me to ascend the throne? In return, I will give you more trust and support. I will only ask you this once."
In Xiao Ran's eyes, Corgi and the man with the bandaged head paused for a moment and their eyes seemed to emit a certain radiance. Upon witnessing their expressions, Xiao Ran felt slightly delighted. Then, he calmed down and let down his guard completely. From this moment onwards, the future of the Scarlet Knights was about to be decided.
After hearing Luluxiu's words, a new mission notification popped up in Corgi's mind. It was a side mission approved by Prometheus. The mission was to assist Luluxiu LI Britalia to ascend to the throne of the Kingdom of Britaria. At the same time, Corgi would be under the control of Luluxiu's GEASS. In this mission, the Eternal Camp couldn't betray the Scarlet Knights. This was an army-level side mission. It was also a recurring event in the original storyline. But for the Scarlet Knights, if they succeeded, they would receive great rewards and support from the Empire.
Corgi gazed at Luluxiu who stood up. At this moment, he finally knew the name of this mission and who exactly was Luluxiu. The two Luluxius before him, a prince and a knight, were the main protagonists of this mission. After accepting this mission, it also meant that their following actions would be treated as normal and not betrayal. At the same time, they would receive rewards and the full support of Luluxiu who would ascend to the throne.
Corgi took in a deep breath. In his mind, he chose to accept this side mission with the highest authority in the army. In an instant, the restriction that stated that they couldn't lay their hands on important members of Britaria disappeared. Corgi immediately knelt on one knee. "Your Highness Luluxiu, I swear on behalf of all the members of the Scarlet Knights. From now on, we will follow Your Highness Luluxiu closely and do our best to support Your Highness Luluxiu to ascend to the throne."
"Look into my eyes." Luluxiu's eyes flickered with red flying bird runes. When Corgi and the guy with the bandaged head looked into his eyes, Luluxiu released the power of GEASS. "You will never betray me. You will forever be my most loyal subjects."
Their expressions didn't change at all, but the red light in their eyes flickered. It was a little like a performance, but the red light disappeared completely after a short while. It seemed like nothing had happened, but in fact, the two of them had been affected by GEASS. To be more precise, they were affected by Prometheus's rules.
Although Xiao Ran didn't know what kind of mission Corgi and the others had accepted, he could roughly guess that the Scarlet Knights had become Luluxiu's biggest supporters. With the support of the Scarlet Knights, it would be much easier for Xiao Ran and Luluxiu to do things. With the strength of the entire Scarlet Knights, they could do a lot of things.
Luluxiu nodded slightly and raised his hand. "Please rise, Knight Corgi. I believe you won't regret your decision today. I've given you the GEASS command that you can't betray me. This is also the final guarantee that I can trust you. Believe me, there will be enough cherry stones in your hands soon. Once you do something that satisfies me, you will also receive the GEASS, a superpower from another world."
Corgi expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Your Highness. Please let us know if there's anything you need us to do."
"There's no need for you to do too many things now. I have some understanding of the situation of the Scarlet Knights." Luluxiu nodded with satisfaction. "The most important thing for you now is to increase your influence in each war zone as soon as possible. Once the coup starts, I will rely on you to maintain the stability of each war zone. However, there is one thing I need you to do now. Your Mechs are very special and powerful. Knight Xiao needs a powerful Mech like this. It shouldn't be difficult for you to provide him with such a powerful Mech, right?"
