Xiao Ran felt a little helpless when he asked Corgi for a higher-level mech. Loide's actions were too slow. So far, after such a long time, Loide's side had only managed to make a frame, and it was a frame that could not carry out high-intensity combat at all. Even the weapons and energy had not been completely solved. There were also problems with the manufacturing of some materials that were not up to standard due to the low pass rate. If they really wanted to complete the mech, the time Xiao Ran gave before should be impossible.
However, the current situation in the world made Xiao Ran feel that he didn't have much time to continue waiting. The key was the movements of the EU participants. Once the other party completely took control of EU, if Xiao Ran's side didn't have the combat power to decide everything and didn't integrate all the available forces, they would unconditionally fall into a disadvantage when dealing with the other party.
Unless Xiao Ran could exert that kind of decisive power, and the Scarlet Knights could also exert their own strength, and be able to control Butaria, only then could they be said to have an advantage. Otherwise, even in that kind of situation where they were in the middle, they would at most be able to interact with the opponent.
But more importantly, when the world fell into chaos, the natives would evolve to the participants being the ones in charge, and the derivation of a world-scale war would become inevitable. With the passage of time, the various armies would also be sufficiently developed. At that time, the participants would no longer be as low-key as they were now. Without a powerful force to rely on, and the natives were not equipped to resist the participants at all, Xiao Ran could not use other forces to restrict the participants. Only by obtaining more power as soon as possible could he truly ensure that he stood at the top and controlled the development of the situation.
Loide's self-made mech was temporarily unreliable, so Xiao Ran could only trick Corgi to obtain a more powerful mech from him. A mech that could truly reach the level of Grade-A could also allow Xiao Ran to exert more of his abilities, unlike the current Soul Slayer that was at most Grade-B +. The upper limit was really too low. Even if he could defeat some Grade-A mech with a Grade-A pilot with pure technology, the mech itself might not be able to withstand continuous high-intensity battles. In short, everything was for the sake of safety and crushing.
As for Corgi, he wanted to give it to Sheyan, but he did not want to. His current feelings were very complicated. If he gave it to Sheyan, there would be benefits, but if he did not give it to Sheyan, there would be benefits as well. It also involved the issue of dominance in the future. As a participant, who would be willing to be suppressed by an indigenous person, unless the indigenous person was so powerful that even the participant did not dare to resist and respect him. However, this also involved the issue of cozying up to Sheyan. The person in front of him was too powerful, and he would definitely feel good if he cozied up to him.
But soon, Corgi thought it through. Although it was a little painful to give up another mech, he could at least take back the Soul Slayer. So what if he did not have dominance? Sheyan had already promised to help the Scarlet Knights deal with the other nine armies. Sheyan had already begun to aim his cannons at the first army. As long as he could obtain the final victory in this mission, so what if he had to give up his dominance?
And Xiao Ran's promise that he could fully control the Soul Slayer even if it was ten times more powerful than the Soul Slayer made Corgi even more determined. He endured the heartache and once again agreed to give Xiao Ran a new mech.
"Okay, I will give you a more powerful mech, but this one will not be included in the number of cherry stones you will give us."
"No problem. I will give you the cherry stones as soon as the mech is ready." When Xiao Ran heard Corgi gritting his teeth, he smiled and said, "With the more powerful mech you provide, I believe that the upcoming battle in the 19th District will be much easier. Trust me, if you are willing to give me this mech, you will definitely feel that it is worth it."
Cornelia looked at how Xiao Ran got another mech from Corgi with just a few words. She thought about how the Soul Slayer was obtained from the Scarlet Knights not too long ago, and it seemed like it had only been used a few times. This kind of behavior was too wasteful. Although both sides lost the bet, now that Cornelia knew about the relationship between Xiao Ran and the Scarlet Knights, how could she really think that it was a waste?
And no matter what, Charles failed to get a mech from the Scarlet Knights. Cornelia could see that the Scarlet Knights had never taken Charles seriously. And Corgi's obsession with the cherry stones also indirectly showed that the Scarlet Knights were willing to accept Charles's recruitment because of the cherry stones.
On second thought, Cornelia sighed faintly in her heart. She felt that perhaps Charles had really done something unnecessary. If he knew that the Scarlet Knights were so easy to bribe, he wouldn't have restricted them. Now, an abandoned prince with no status or power in the Empire and a mysterious person with unknown background had easily pulled the Scarlet Knights, a force that could make the Empire stronger, over to his side. The key was that the other party used Brittany's things as a bargaining chip. Cornelia didn't know how to describe this kind of generous and ultimately profitable behavior.
The three of them discussed the follow-up arrangements in detail in Xiao Ran's office. The next thing they needed to do was to act according to the plan. The Scarlet Knights would gradually enter the base, and the people in the base would gradually move to other places except for the necessary logistical personnel. At the same time, the entire military force of the 19th section would be mobilized.
Large-scale military movements certainly couldn't be hidden from observant people. Moreover, the participants had special abilities and were extremely powerful, so it was very easy to collect information. The 19th District's movements would naturally be noticed by the EU and the rebels. But under the premise that only Xiao Ran, Corgi, and Cornelia knew the whole plan, the EU and the rebels would never expect that the 19th District would launch a large-scale war and start a war in advance.
In the eyes of the EU and the rebels, there was a high probability that the 19th District's military mobilization was due to their previous military operations that put more pressure on the 19th District. Therefore, they mobilized their military forces to build a stronger defensive line or launch a counterattack to a certain extent. In this regard, the EU and the rebels continued to pay attention to the 19th District's situation. However, they deliberately strengthened their attacks in order to determine the real purpose of the 19th District's large-scale military mobilization.
The bigger the movements of the EU and the rebels, the faster the 19th District acted under Xiao Ran's arrangement. They also acted as if they were about to fight to the death. Countless troops were transferred to the front line, and at the same time, they took the initiative to abandon the original defense line and began to build a new one in the rear. This made the EU and the rebels even more convinced that the 19th District was going to fight to the death. They also didn't expect that the 19th District's main base, which was filled with vehicles and vehicles every day, had undergone earth-shattering changes.
As some planes and cargo ships entered the 19th District, the 19th District's interior gradually became different without being known by others. The Scarlet Knights had completely taken over the main base. Every day, from morning to night, the entire base was divided into two areas by the Scarlet Knights. Only the Scarlet Knights could enter the core area, and the rest area was dedicated to the logistics personnel who were essentially there to keep the base lively.
The planes and trucks that arrived at the main base were filled with large quantities of cherry stones from the 19th and 11th districts. There were so many of them that the smile on Corgi's face never disappeared. It was the first time Corgi had come into contact with so many cherry stones since he entered this world.
Xiao Ran didn't know how the cherry stones were calculated, nor did she know how many cherry stones the Scarlet Knights needed to unseal the different grades of mechs. Corgi's face was filled with satisfaction and joy, and this batch of cherry stones really did satisfy him. Xiao Ran also didn't know how many cherry stones the Scarlet Knights needed to unseal the different grades of mechs.
After Corgi obtained so many cherry stones, he emptied more than half of the cherry stones in the 11th district's warehouse. As long as he didn't deal with Charles, the 11th district would also need some cherry stones to deal with unexpected situations. Besides, cherry stones were not only used as energy sources, they were also a special super-rare material. There were actually a lot of uses for cherry stones.
But in Xiao Ran's opinion, it didn't matter even if he handed over all the cherry stones stored in the 11th district to the Scarlet Knights. It was only for the energy system. Cherry stones used to occupy a large part of the world, so some cherrystone technological systems were created. But when Xiao Ran handed over the thermonuclear energy technology to Loide, the significance of cherry stones as an energy source had been completely rewritten. With the development of time, cherry stones would lose their significance as an energy source and become a special and important material. They would be replaced by a brand-new nuclear energy source.
Therefore, it didn't matter if the Scarlet Knights used all the cherry stones they excavated to improve their strength. After all, there was still a huge reserve of cherry stones in District 11. They could be excavated whenever they needed to use them. Besides, using the cherry stones as materials wouldn't consume more than using them as energy. Of course, this was only for a short period of time and only for the military. But no matter what, it would be easier to restock a new batch of cherry stones because they wouldn't have to be used as energy consumables anymore.
After many days of preparation, from the transportation of cherry stones to the mobilization of the military, the entry of the Scarlet Knights, and the disguise of the frontline, everything was finally ready. As the main force of the Scarlet Knights, all the members of the Scarlet Knights had arrived in the 19th district. Of course, only the members who didn't go out for other missions were left in their original places. They couldn't participate in this large-scale operation.
The headquarters was completely moved to the newly established defense line. Instead of building a new defense line, it was better to say that they built a tofu dregs project under the guise of building a defense line. Then, they secretly reinforced and rearranged an original stronghold in the tofu dregs project and turned it into the new headquarters of the 19th Section.
But to the outside world, including the 19th district itself, the headquarters' relocation was unknown. Only a small number of people knew that the headquarters had moved away from the 19th district's nominal main base.
As for the situation in the main base, everyone thought that the 19th district had begun to mobilize military supplies to build a defensive line in order to resist the huge pressure brought by the EU and the Resistance. Batches of supplies were transported out, and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to rest. Even Xiao Ran, who had left the base and headed to the frontline, didn't know what was happening in the isolated area of the 19th district.
But even if Xiao Ran didn't know, he could guess that the reason why Corgi isolated the logistics personnel was because the participants' special abilities couldn't be revealed to outsiders. For example, it was easy to conceal their personal abilities, but if the cherry stones in the warehouse suddenly disappeared in large batches and were replaced by a large row of mechas that appeared out of nowhere, it would be easy for the information to leak out. It was as if they had seen a ghost.
And now, Corgi isolated the main base for this reason. They needed to convert the cherry stones into cherry stones to unseal the Mechs and then summon the Mechs. With Xiao Ran's support, the Scarlet Knights had unsealed a large number of powerful Mechs. And these Mechs had to be hidden before the battle started, so that the EU and the Resistance wouldn't be able to prepare in advance.
The actions of the 19th section also gave the EU and the Resistance some time to react. They began to transfer more military forces to the 19th section, as if to satisfy the 19th section's current preparations. They were also trying to start a war that would directly eliminate the 19th section's military forces. For a while, both sides strangely reduced the number of armed conflicts between the two sides.
Finally, perhaps Corgi felt that the time was almost up, or perhaps all the preparations were completed. Under Corgi's invitation, Xiao Ran returned to the abandoned main base that was used as bait by the Scarlet Knights.
