The private plane landed in the base. As soon as Xiao Ran got off the plane, he saw Corgi, who personally came to greet him. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Ran got into a military jeep and soon entered a hangar. Here, Xiao Ran saw the brand-new Mech that Corgi specially prepared for him.
This was a Mech with a unique style. It had a heavy metallic feel, a ferocious face, sharp horns on its shoulders and head, and a pair of blood-red wings. This Mech looked like a demon, but it also revealed a sense of conflict between good and evil. The Mech was only about 25 meters in size, much smaller than the Soul Slayer, but it also gave off a feeling that this Mech was heavier than the Soul Slayer.
The Mech's armored torso was mainly painted in blood-red. There were also two specially-shaped skulls on its chest. One was embedded at the top of the Mech's head, while the other was embedded in front of the Mech's chest. A huge greatsword was carried on its back.
When Xiao Ran saw this Mech, the corners of his eyebrows under his mask twitched slightly. A meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Because Xiao Ran recognized this Mech the moment he saw it.
Although the color of this Mech was somewhat different from the one in his memory, Xiao Ran was very familiar with it. Even if he was only familiar with its appearance, there was a person in his team who was currently using a Mech with a similar appearance. Of course, that was only the appearance.
Demon God Caesar was the name of this Mech. Apart from the color of this Mech being changed to blood-red, making it look more like a Demon God, Xiao Ran could recognize its strong Demon God style at a glance.
However, this was not the real Demon God Caesar, but a Mech called Demon God Caesar SKL. It belonged to the Demon God series, but it was completely different from the real Demon God. It was a Mech that appeared in another parallel work of the Demon God. Compared to the real Demon God, the Demon God Caesar SKL had a skull on its head, and the skull on its chest was the most typical feature of this Mech. In Xiao Ran's impression, the Demon God Caesar SKL was only slightly better looking than the old Demon God in terms of appearance and long-range attack weapons that were different from other Demon Gods. However, in terms of performance, it could not be compared to the real Demon God Z. This was because this Mech did not possess any Demon God power. It was just a Mech with the appearance and name of a Demon God.
Xiao Ran suddenly said in a surprised tone, "The appearance of this Mech … is really domineering. It looks like a demon. Is this the Mech that you said is more powerful than the Soul Slayer?"
Corgi could not see the expression on Xiao Ran's face, but he could see the corners of Xiao Ran's mouth curling up slightly. He thought that Xiao Ran was quite satisfied with this Mech. Corgi laughed and said, "This is the Mech that's more powerful than the Soul Slayer. Of course, I'm not referring to the appearance. It's smaller, but it has all the abilities of the Soul Slayer, and its performance is higher than the Soul Slayer. I call it Demon God, Demon God Caesar."
"Demon God Caesar." Xiao Ran repeated these words calmly. He looked at Demon God Caesar as if he was seriously sizing up the Mech. He suddenly asked, "You said that this Mech has all the abilities of the Soul Slayer?"
"Yes, this Mech has all the abilities of the Soul Slayer, and this Mech has all the abilities that the Soul Slayer doesn't have." Corgi laughed, but Xiao Ran nodded at his words. At the same time, he knew that this Mech had been modified and strengthened by the Scarlet Knights. Otherwise, the real Demon God Caesar SKL would not have the cloning ability of the Soul Slayer.
Xiao Ran's impression of the Demon Celestial Kaiser SKL was not that powerful, but Corgi had brought it out. This meant that the Demon Celestial Kaiser SKL must have better performance than the Soul Slayer. Even if it was stronger than the Soul Slayer, it should not be that much stronger. However, since the Demon Celestial Kaiser SKL had been enhanced and modified and integrated with the Soul Slayer's technology, it made sense for it to have better performance.
The fact that this Deity Warden was able to modify and strengthen the Soul Slayer's unique technology proved that the Scarlet Knights did indeed possess the Soul Slayer's technology. That was the only way they could modify this Deity Warden purely with technology.
Corgi thought Xiao Ran didn't know enough about this body, so he said proudly, "This body is full of weapons. The parts in front of its chest can be converted into two energy guns, its wings can be cut, its arms can be detached from the body, and it can release energy beams with high energy intensity. It also has all the abilities of a Soul Slayer. This is one of the few advanced bodies in our Bloody Knights. I'm sure it can meet your requirements. If it's you, Knight Lelouch, I'm sure you can also unleash the full potential of this body."
Xiao Ran nodded and looked at Corgi, "If that's the case, then so be it. Although I'd like to test this Mech personally, this is the last critical moment before the operation. I can't let the enemy detect anything because of my test. I hope you can prepare a detailed report of this Mech for me."
"That won't be a problem." Corgi waved his hand generously. A detailed report of the Mech was not a big deal. It would not involve too much technology, and he was not worried that the technology would be leaked. After all, the Mech had been handed over to Xiao Ran. Corgi believed that there were times when he could not control whether the Mech was leaked or not. Just like the Soul Slayer, there were some things that could not be controlled.
However, even if the technology was analyzed, Corgi did not believe that the Mech could be manufactured in this world. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible in a short period of time. Even if the Mech could be manufactured in ten years, they would have long left this world. What happened then had nothing to do with the Scarlet Knights.
Corgi turned around and ordered his subordinates to prepare the information on the Demon God Kaiser SKL. He then turned back to Xiao Ran and asked, "Do you want to keep the Mech here for now, or do you want me to transport it to the front?"
The front Corgi mentioned was naturally the new command center. Xiao Ran turned to look at the Demon God Kaiser. At a height of more than 20 meters, it was much smaller than the Soul Slayer. There were many ways to transport the Mech to the front line. He nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to transport the Mech to the front line."
"No problem." Corgi smiled and asked, "Now that everything is ready, when do we start the operation?"
Xiao Ran gestured for Corgi to talk as they walked. He took the initiative to turn around and leave the warehouse where the Demon God Caesar was placed. Then, he said to Corgi, "The preparations are all complete. Now, the EU and the resistance are ready to attack at any time. The best time is actually when they are completely annihilated. Once we defeat their attacking forces, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and achieve greater results."
"But this way, we can't guarantee when they will take the initiative to attack, and we won't have much time to wait. So, we can only take the initiative to attack, and in turn, we will be the ones to attack them. Although the pressure will be greater, we will be able to destroy their defensive line, but that can't be helped."
"We can attack at any time, but the key is whether you are ready."
Corgi nodded and said solemnly, "The Scarlet Knights are ready. We can move at any time."
"Good." Xiao Ran stopped and said, "Then let's do it tomorrow night. Firstly, the night can cover our tracks a little. Secondly, the early morning will be the time when people are most relaxed. After we confirm our target, we can take down the enemy's defensive line in one go. But I'm not sure how much combat power the Scarlet Knights have."
Corgi also knew that the Scarlet Knights' strength would be the key to this operation. And as a member of the same faction, there was no need to hide the true strength of the Scarlet Knights from Xiao Ran.
Corgi did not hesitate to say, "In terms of combat power, I personally have a mech that is slightly better than the Demon God Kaiser, and another mech that is about the same level as the Demon God Kaiser. I can take out a dozen mechs that are a level lower than the Soul Slayer, and dozens of mechs that are a level higher than the Knights of the Round Table. It's about the same as the three enemies you faced the other day."
"Other than that, there are more than two hundred mech pilots who are at least at the level of the Knights of the Round Table. They also have mechs that can be used. The worst of these people should be at the standard of the Knights of the Round Table."
Corgi could not tell Xiao Ran the level of the Scarlet Knights in their super division, so he used another method to explain. There were about three hundred people in the Scarlet Knights because there was still a small number who did not participate in this battle.
But from Xiao Ran's perspective, from Corgi's description, he could roughly confirm that the Scarlet Knights had more than two hundred mech pilots who were below C-class. Then there were dozens of C-class and B-class mech pilots, dozens of B-class and B-class mech pilots, one pseudo-A-class mech pilot, and one A-class mech pilot.
It had to be said that this scale was indeed much larger than the original Burning Legion. Of course, this only referred to the number of participants in the legion. In terms of quality, there was no way to compare with the Burning Legion. In terms of overall strength, it was naturally impossible to compare with the Burning Legion. It belonged to the type of legion that had a very conventional structure in Prometheus. Perhaps in a super division, it should be considered one of the stronger ones, but there were too few top-class mech pilots to pose a threat to a real large-scale legion. It was just unknown whether the Scarlet Knights of this world were complete or just a part of it.
But just from this part alone, they were a much more regular army than the Burning Legion and the Overlord Legion in terms of structure.
Xiao Ran's face showed a thoughtful expression, but he said, "Although I know that the Scarlet Knights should be very strong, I didn't expect them to have such a terrifying number. This makes me feel a lot more at ease. A force like this can bring a lot of help to the battlefield. Let's hope we can win this battle in one go."
Corgi smiled proudly. "The mechs of our Scarlet Knights have their own unique abilities. Even if the enemy's regular army is only at the level of the Knights of the Round Table, we can still crush them with our teamwork. The only troublesome ones are the two special organizations on the EU side and the Resistance side. But now, our combat power is definitely higher than theirs. The advantage is on our side, and with you keeping them in check, I believe it won't be too difficult to win."
As the two talked, they walked to the side of the car. Xiao Ran flipped over and got into the car. He said to Corgi, "It's good to have this kind of confidence. We also have the strength to maintain this kind of confidence. But no matter what, we still have to be cautious. No matter how many advantages we have, we can't forget to be cautious."
"Alright, since the mechs have been confirmed, I'll go back first and transport them over as soon as possible. Then, wait for my orders. We'll start attacking the enemy at dawn."
"Okay, I'll arrange it immediately after you leave." Corgi didn't have any objections. He glanced at Xiao Ran and asked, "But don't you need to familiarize yourself with the new mech?"
"Although you're also a part of the mysterious composition of this world, you still don't know enough about the real mysteries of this world." Xiao Ran smiled and said softly, "This world has an aggregate of human wills, like Gaia. What exists and what is reasonable is what I can reach."
Corgi murmured, "An aggregate of human wills … Gaia?"
"If you can satisfy me, I don't mind telling you some new things." Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously and patted the driver's shoulder. "Take me to the airport."
The driver was also one of Corgi's subordinates. He also heard the conversation between Xiao Ran and Corgi. He turned to look at Corgi and started the car. After sending Xiao Ran to the airport, he watched as Xiao Ran left before returning to Corgi's side.
Seeing his Guild Leader deep in thought, this fellow also had a puzzled look on his face. "Guild Leader, what did that fellow say about Gaia, the amalgamation of human wills?"
"I don't know …" Corgi shook his head and said in confusion, "If such an existence really exists, then perhaps it's a god-like existence. Gaia … this world should have a description of it. Torre, I'll leave this matter to you. From today onwards, collect all information about Gaia."
"Err … yes, leader."
Xiao Ran didn't know what his casual words would make Corgi think, but his true intentions were completely different.
