Cornelia listened to Xiao Ran's words, but she didn't understand what Xiao Ran meant. However, in her opinion, the man beside her seemed to know a lot of things. She pushed Xiao Ran away and took two steps back. She looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "What do you know?"
Xiao Ran didn't care about Cornelia's actions at all. He smiled faintly and said, "Whether it's the so-called Empire, Knights of the Round Table, or talented children like you, they're all just tools Charles can use to achieve his goals. As long as there's a stone in his way, like Nunnally, he might not be stingy with his feelings as a father, but he doesn't care about kicking the stone away. The premise is that the stone has a certain effect on him."
"Since you know that Nunnally is in the governor's mansion in Euphemia, then you should know that there are problems with her eyes and legs. The one who created all of this is your father, the emperor of Britannia. I just want to tell you that you may care about this kinship, but he doesn't necessarily care about whose bloodline you are."
Xiao Ran turned around and prepared to leave. He only stopped when he reached the door. "I'll do what I said. I also hope you can do what you promised me."
"I will."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly. He opened the office door and walked out. After leaving the command center, Xiao Ran looked up at the gradually darkening sky. He shook his head slightly and walked towards the military hospital in the base unhurriedly.
It didn't take long for Xiao Ran to enter a ward in the hospital. He saw Monica, the Knight of the Round Table who was sent back to the rear base after being injured in the frontline battle.
When Xiao Ran entered the ward, there were only two people in the room. One of them was Monica who was lying on the bed. He didn't know if she was asleep or not, and the other was the nurse on duty who was taking care of her by the bed.
Xiao Ran's movements and footsteps were naturally noticed by the people in the room. When the nurse turned around and saw Xiao Ran, or rather, Xiao Ran's clothes, she immediately stood up and greeted Xiao Ran softly.
Xiao Ran nodded and smiled at the young girl who looked to be 18 or 19 years old in a friendly manner. He waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite. Then, he walked to the bedside and looked at Monica who had her eyes closed. He asked softly, "What's the situation now? Is it serious?"
When the young nurse heard Xiao Ran's words, she nervously replied, "Reporting to Sir Knight, after the examination, Madam Monica broke two of her ribs. Her right hand also showed signs of fracture. There are also some bruises and internal injuries. However, they have all been taken care of. All that is left is for her to rest and recover slowly. In the future, Madam Monica will not be affected in any way."
Xiao Ran nodded gently. The lack of serious external injuries meant that there was no explosion when she was injured. However, the broken ribs and broken arm meant that the body Monica piloted should have suffered a serious collision. As for the other bruises, bruises, and internal injuries, if they weren't serious, they could slowly recover after a period of rest.
All in all, Monica was only injured this time, and it wouldn't affect her condition too much in the future. She was really lucky. In addition, it also seemed that the enemy Monica encountered this time wasn't strong enough to completely crush them. At least, Monica was still alive.
But speculations were just speculations. Xiao Ran would naturally find out the specific situation, and Monica was the best person to understand what they encountered on the frontline.
Since it was confirmed that he would stay in the 19th section to help Cornelia deal with the situation here, Xiao Ran certainly wouldn't just muddle along. No matter what, he still had to do his job well. The first step was to understand the strength of the EU and the resistance. As for the EU and the resistance, they weren't within the scope of Xiao Ran's consideration.
Looking at Monica who was still sleeping, Xiao Ran asked again, "When will she wake up?"
The nurse knew Monica's condition very well, but she was still a little hesitant when she answered, "She'll probably wake up tomorrow. Because Miss Monica used some medicine to relieve the pain, she probably won't wake up in a short time."
"Tomorrow?" Xiao Ran nodded and looked at the nurse, "Then I'll come back tomorrow. Take good care of Miss Monica."
Xiao Ran didn't get to know the situation at the frontline from Monica, so he didn't return to the command center to find out more about the situation at the frontline. When he returned to his room, Xiao Ran suddenly felt like he couldn't find a clue. Facing the current situation in the 19th section, he had no idea how to solve it for a while. But more importantly, even if he had some clues, there was no force he could command in the 19th section.
The current situation was like having a commander, but he found that there were no soldiers at all. Even if he wanted to take action, he could only wait for the Scarlet Knights' support to arrive. And Xiao Ran wasn't sure how effective the support from the Scarlet Knights would be.
Moreover, to complete the task of stabilizing the 19th section, it wasn't as simple as defeating the EU and the rebels. At least, they had to stop the EU and the rebels from continuing to attack for a period of time. They even had to completely destroy the EU and the rebels. But it was easier said than done. It was definitely a very troublesome thing.
After returning to his room, Xiao Ran took out his communicator and contacted the 11th section. It took a lot of time. Yu, Luluxiu, Euphemia, and Loide learned about the current situation in the 11th section. There were many things that required attention and attention. But after hearing that everything was normal, Xiao Ran didn't have to worry too much about the 11th section.
Luluxiu was in charge of the Black Knights, Yu was in charge of the 11th section, and Loide was in charge of the Airframe. The three of them weren't simple characters. Each of them was in charge of different aspects. Everything was normal, so Xiao Ran was completely relieved.
The next morning, Xiao Ran took the initiative to appear in the command center. Although the news of him becoming the Deputy Governor of the 19th section hadn't been fully announced, Cornelia's trusted subordinates had received some news. So when Xiao Ran entered the command center, someone specially received Xiao Ran with more attention. They even arranged an office for Xiao Ran that was only one wall away from Cornelia's office.
It wasn't much different from Cornelia's office, but for Xiao Ran, such an environment definitely couldn't be described as good. Fortunately, Xiao Ran wasn't a picky person. It was understandable for him to choose a better place, but without such conditions, Xiao Ran could only make do with it.
The first thing Xiao Ran did after entering the office was to have all the frontline information sent to his office. Text messages, video recordings, analysis reports, and so on. It didn't take long for a thick pile of documents to pile up on his desk. Xiao Ran didn't care about anything else. He began to sort out the documents and analyze the information he needed from them. He also analyzed the enemy's movements.
Originally, Xiao Ran didn't have to do such a tedious work himself. Of course, this was on the premise that El Erf was present. Without El Erf, even if Zheng was here, he could share most of the work. But it just so happened that one of them wasn't in this world, and the other wasn't here, so Xiao Ran had to do this work himself.
Although it was very complicated and boring, Xiao Ran was quite familiar with this kind of work. He didn't feel that he didn't know how to handle it. After all, Xiao Ran had dealt with work that was more complicated than this, and there would only be more of them.
Xiao Ran sat at his desk for a few hours, trying to understand the information in front of him. Before he fully understood the information, Xiao Ran was not ready to take over the military command of the 19th District. Not to mention, the reinforcements of the Scarlet Knights had yet to arrive. Even if he took over the command, it wouldn't be of much use.
It would take at least a few days for the reinforcements of the Scarlet Knights to arrive. If he really wanted to do anything in these few days, Xiao Ran would have to pilot the Soul Slayer himself.
Among all the information, Xiao Ran paid more attention to the videos recorded on the battlefield. Only these videos could directly record the strength displayed by the EU and the Resistance. What kind of airframes were used, what tactics were used during the attack, and what weapons were used during the attack. The written reports might be detailed, but they were definitely not as intuitive as the videos.
From the videos, Zhang Heng learned that the combat strength of the two participating legions was not to be underestimated. The number of airframes they had put into use was not small. No matter how weak they were in Xiao Ran's eyes, they were absolutely crushing the conventional military forces of the Empire. If they gathered together and launched an attack in one direction, even if the 19th District had the help of the Scarlet Knights, it was absolutely impossible for them to be a match for the enemy. In terms of numbers, Xiao Ran saw that the number of airframes in the video was more than three times the number of the Scarlet Knights in the 19th District. However, this was certainly not the full strength of the two participating legions, and it was also not the true strength of the EU participating legions. Perhaps it was just like the strength that the Scarlet Knights had invested in the 19th District, the 19th District was just a small part of their total strength.
It seemed that the EU participating legions were not that big of a threat to the 19th District. More or less, after Xiao Ran launched the attack with the Soul Slayer, the EU participating legions had also supplemented the strength of the 19th District. It was just that the strength of the EU participating legions had not been exposed yet.
On the contrary, the Resistance, which had the smallest and weakest territory among the three parties, was far more threatening than the EU. This was because this area was the real headquarters of the Resistance. They could only invest all their combat strength in this area, but they were not without weaknesses.
Although they didn't join a huge force like the Scarlet Knights, they were still under control. This rebel army had joined a weak force and almost became the dominant force. However, because the force they joined was too weak, they couldn't support the consumption of a legion. Therefore, their development showed a kind of squeezing, draining the goose that lays the golden eggs. If they didn't have a stable source of cherry stones, they wouldn't be able to make a huge breakthrough in this area. Without a good way to develop, their development speed would gradually slow down.
And this legion should have a certain cooperative relationship with the legion that had joined the EU. It was just that Sheyan did not know the extent of this cooperation, how much support the EU had given to the Resistance, and what kind of agreement the two legions had reached. But it was obvious that the Resistance had become the real main force to deal with the 19th District of Britaria.
These were some of the things that Xiao Ran had analyzed after analyzing a lot of information. It was not much different from what he had thought before, and it was only limited to the current situation.
Once the time was delayed, the Resistance legion on the EU side would become a bigger threat. And in Xiao Ran's opinion, the development of this legion should be better than that of the Scarlet Knights. Even without the support of Britaria, the most powerful country with the most cherry stone resources, the Resistance legion was obviously more important than the Scarlet Knights in Britaria. They were not suppressed, and in the EU's big alliance system, they were also the target of many countries' efforts to fight for. They were not as miserable as the Scarlet Knights.
However, this legion hadn't made any big moves yet. It shouldn't be because of their own development. Instead, it should be because they were focusing on something else. Since they weren't in the 19th district and didn't show much activity in other areas, it meant that this legion wasn't really focused on the battlefield. Therefore, it wasn't hard to guess where this legion was focusing on.
That should be the main focus of their energy on the EU itself. Unlike Britaria, which was a totalitarian monarchy, there were countless opportunities in an alliance system like the EU itself. Perhaps this legion was now working hard to completely obtain the highest authority in the EU. If this was the case, once the Resistance legion really obtained the highest authority in the EU and used all the resources of the EU, Britaria and the Scarlet Knights might not be a match for them.
