The first phase was the most important phase of the entire operation. In this phase, the regular army and Cornelia's Freikorps would not be mobilized. Only Xiao Ran and the Scarlet Knights would launch a simultaneous attack on the EU side and the rebel army. On one side, Xiao Ran was alone, while on the other side, the Scarlet Knights were all present.
There was no need to mention the Scarlet Knights. With the strength of the entire Scarlet Knights, attacking the defensive lines and strongholds established by the EU would not be too much of a problem. The only thing they needed to pay attention to was the enemies placed in the defensive lines.
Xiao Ran was truly acting alone. However, in the eyes of many, Xiao Ran's solo operation was indeed a little too arrogant. Therefore, without Xiao Ran's knowledge, Corgi secretly arranged for a rescue team of five B-rank pilots to tail Xiao Ran from afar.
The role of these five people was to support Xiao Ran when he was in danger. They would either hold on until more reinforcements arrived or try to bring Xiao Ran out of danger. The purpose of this was to protect Xiao Ran, who was suspected to be a Rank A fighter. At the same time, it was also to provide insurance for the mission. They could also do a great favor to Xiao Ran if he was really in danger.
After giving the order, Xiao Ran rushed all the way from the frontline base to the rebel army's defensive line under the cover of the night. The control of the Demon God Caesar was completely different from that of the Soul Slayer. Although it was almost half the size of the Soul Slayer, it felt better to the touch. Most importantly, the Demon God series always had a heavy feeling. Coupled with the difference in the level of the mech, it allowed Xiao Ran to operate it more smoothly. However, there was another key point that Xiao Ran was most satisfied with: its sturdiness. It was sturdier than the Lancelot and more durable than the Soul Slayer, allowing him to exert more of his suppressed strength.
The black wings flapped once behind him for a long time. It did not seem to be of much use at all and was just a decoration. However, it really gave the Demon God Caesar flexibility and the ability to fly. Its speed was much faster than that of the Soul Slayer. Just like last time, it did not hide at all in the dark sky as it headed straight for the rebel army's defensive line.
The reaction of such a mech flying at high speed without hiding was definitely not small. Even if the rebel army could not detect the Demon God Caesar in the dark with their own technological level, Xiao Ran did not activate any anti-detection measures. The Demon God Caesar did not have much concealment ability, so in the eyes of the rebels, there was no difference between night and day. When Xiao Ran approached quickly, they had already detected the presence of the Demon God Caesar.
Previously, Xiao Ran was the one who drove the Soul Slayer in a straight line toward their base and stronghold. Now, the Soul Slayer was charging toward their territory in a straight line. The movement pattern was exactly the same as before, but this time, the distance was shorter and the speed was faster. However, when the members of the resistance army saw the Demonic Deity Caesar moving in a straight line through the detector, their first reaction was, "Here we go again."
In the next second, the Resistance Army sounded the emergency alarm. Regardless of whether they were in the path of the Demon God Caesar or not, the Resistance Army immediately entered a state of emergency. All of a sudden, they activated all their defensive means. The pilots sat on the Mechs and walked out of the hangar one by one. They quickly moved behind cover and waited for Xiao Ran's arrival.
At the same time, the forces of the rebels began to gather quickly. Dozens of mechs quickly approached the first stronghold of the Demon God Caesar from where they were stationed in a semi-encirclement. Last time, they were caught off guard by Xiao Ran and allowed him to finish off three of them. Therefore, the rebels had conducted a self-reflection and made new arrangements specifically for high-level combatants like Xiao Ran. So this time, their reaction speed was extremely fast. Not only did they want to stop Xiao Ran, but they also wanted to take revenge for the previous incident and the sacrifice of their companions.
Finally, the Demon God Caesar arrived at his first target. The sky was instantly illuminated by countless artillery fire. Fire snakes of various sizes exploded in the sky, making loud booms. The bullet screen formed by the high-speed Gatling guns rose from the ground, forming a dense net of fire that flew towards the Demon God Caesar.
In the eyes of Xiao Ran in the cockpit of the Demon God Caesar, such a scene was like the rapidly flashing sky. Many KFFs fired their weapons one by one. A few mechs that were not from this world and were piloted by participants began to slowly rise into the air. They did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they raised their weapons and aimed at Xiao Ran, watching his every move.
"They've learned their lesson from the last time, so they've strengthened their aerial attacks. The purpose of this intensive attack is not to hit me, but to stop or delay me. Are they trying to make me retreat?"
When Xiao Ran saw that the opponent was prepared for this, the corners of his mouth curled up. He gently pulled the control stick to stop the Demon God Caesar in the air. He looked down at the lively scene in front of him from a high vantage point. In the next second, all the firepower launched from the enemy's position began to gather, all aimed at the Demon God Caesar who had stopped.
In the face of the enemy's powerful firepower, which should be difficult to break through in the eyes of countless people, it seemed quite ordinary in Xiao Ran's eyes. However, Xiao Ran, who didn't know how strong the Demon Deity Caesar's defense was, didn't recklessly use the Demon Deity Caesar to face the enemy's firepower head-on. Instead, he easily controlled the Demon Deity Caesar to dodge the enemy's firepower. At the same time, he turned on the loudspeaker device of the Demon Deity Caesar. Judging from the screen, the enemy's firepower didn't pose a real threat to the Demon Deity Caesar at all. This also made the pilots in the Demon Deity Caesar frown even more.
The mech was different. This was their first impression. The participants here had collected all the information about Xiao Ran piloting the Soul Slayer. They also had a certain understanding of Xiao Ran's identity. The new Second Knight of the Round Table in the Britaria Empire, Luluxiu Xiao, was a powerful pilot comparable to the top participants. However, they still had doubts about Xiao Ran's true identity. After all, a mech like the Soul Slayer could only be owned by a participant at a glance.
Therefore, they suspected that the so-called Second Knight of the Round Table, Luluxiu Xiao, was an arrangement of the Scarlet Knights, but it had not been confirmed yet.
At that time, the Soul Slayer in Xiao Ran's hands was extremely powerful. It easily eliminated three of their companions. But now, it was not the Soul Slayer from before, but a brand new mech. Those with a discerning eye might know what kind of mech Xiao Ran was piloting, but the most important thing was that this new mech was able to evade the strengthened firepower of the defensive line so easily. Even if it did not advance further, it seemed that even if the new mech wanted to advance, it would be difficult to stop it with the current firepower. And now, the pilot of this new mech was the same Luluxiu Xiao who piloted the Soul Slayer before?
As for this question, perhaps this was the first thought that popped up in the minds of the participants who had ascended into the air. Their doubts were quickly answered by the loud voice of the Deity Warden Caesar that resounded clearly in the night sky. The unique loudspeaker that belonged to the Deity Warden Series allowed Xiao Ran's voice to be transmitted to everyone's ears under the flickering sky.
"I am the Second Knight of the Round Table of the Britaria Empire, Luluxiu Xiao. I am here on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to suppress the rebels. I order all of you to immediately give up resistance, lay down your weapons, and surrender. Those who surrender will not be held accountable for what you have done as a rebel. Otherwise, I will regard you as rebels and fire indiscriminately."
It was obvious that keeping silent before a battle was not in line with Xiao Ran's usual style. Of course, there were times when Xiao Ran would open fire without saying anything, mainly depending on his mood at that time. Now, it was obvious that Xiao Ran was in a good mood. In such a special situation, saying a few words could reflect his existence. Xiao Ran wanted to let everyone know who was piloting this Mech and who was attacking them.
Xiao Ran's sudden words indeed made many people on the other side dumbfounded. They felt that it was somewhat inexplicable. Damn, one person actually dared to ask them to surrender. Did he not know that he was the one who was surrounded and not them? How arrogant must he be to say such words? Even if he had the strength, he shouldn't be so arrogant, right?
Furthermore, who is the traitor that you want to conquer? This place isn't your Britaria's territory, so what right do you have to call others traitors? Do you really think that this entire world is run by your Britaria people?
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6 …"
The ten-second countdown naturally came out of Xiao Ran's mouth unhurriedly. The opponent's firepower didn't stop because of this at all. Instead, it became even fiercer. Even the participants who took off clenched their weapons and began to move. Xiao Ran's ten-second countdown also reminded them to pay attention to all of Xiao Ran's actions. The moment the ten-second countdown ended, it would be the time when the black Mech in front of them would begin to attack. Of course, they had to be prepared first.
When the countdown reached the third second, Xiao Ran controlled the Deity Warden Caesar to extend his arms a little. A ferocious-looking greatsword hung behind the wings. However, Xiao Ran didn't intend to use that weapon. He spread his arms across his chest and the parts in front of his chest instantly separated and fell into the hands of the Deity Warden Caesar. After some slight adjustments, they became two long-range pistols. At the same time, a sharp glint flashed under the muzzles and grips. It was obviously a special weapon that could be used for both close and long-range attacks.
When the countdown reached one, the participants took the lead to launch an attack on the Deity Warden Caesar piloted by Xiao Ran. More than a dozen missiles flew over with flames and smoke. Beams of light or special light attacks completely engulfed the Deity Warden Caesar from the front.
However, Xiao Ran had to count down to zero before he began his next move. This short one second was enough for the opponent's attack to change from a launched one to a state where it was about to hit. This kind of behavior where he didn't even bother to dodge and just minded his own business was quite arrogant.
Xiao Ran deliberately did this to let the other participants know that he could easily get rid of them and that he didn't care about them at all. Whether he came alone or now, it was all to deliberately create his own arrogant character. Then, he used his strength to tell the other participants that he was arrogant and couldn't do anything to him. Small fries like them were useless in front of him.
Once the other party accepted this setting, the next time they met Xiao Ran, they would send out more forces. They thought that they could take down or eliminate Xiao Ran. If they didn't gather all the top pilots in the entire Resistance Army, it would be impossible to achieve such a force. Even Grade-A pilots were not enough in front of Xiao Ran. It was obvious that the participants in this Resistance Army did not have any Grade-S pilots higher than Grade-A, which was to say, Mythical Level pilots.
The arrogant Demon God Caesar made more moves before the attacks of the participants touched him. In an instant, he transformed into a dozen doppelgangers, spreading up, down, left and right. Those attacks all passed through the doppelgangers without even touching Caesar's hair. The essence of the doppelgangers was not to turn Caesar into nothingness in an instant. It was just a way to use special functions and techniques to avoid attacks and interfere with the enemy. The higher the skill and technique, of course, the more powerful the effect of the doppelgangers. After all, it was not Naruto's doppelgangers. How could a Grade-A mech not give the doppelgangers the same ability as the real body?
Then, a blue light appeared from the ground at a very fast speed, flying in the direction of the stronghold, causing several explosions at the front of the stronghold. The doppelgangers of Demon God Caesar rushed to the ground under Xiao Ran's control. They maintained a parallel position with the ground and began to move forward quickly with a distance of less than three meters. The attack efficiency of the pistols held in his hands was a bit unexpected.
While maintaining a very high firing rate, he also maintained the power of the attack. These were two aspects that ordinary small weapons could not balance at the same time. Even at the level of a Grade-A mech, these two weapons could be labeled as excellent.
