"Mhmm." Xiao Ran sat on the bed and nodded. If it weren't for the enemy setting up a trap for him and the Blood Knights, he wouldn't have had to use quantum assimilation in order to buy time. But after quantum assimilation was activated, the original plan against the rebels had been completely changed and it was a good thing that they were able to take over in the end.
Cornelia looked at Xiao Ran's calm face and didn't say anything else. She walked to the small round table and tidied up the things on it. At the same time, she said to Xiao Ran, "It's good that you're awake. I still have things to deal with over there, so I won't stay here to accompany you."
Xiao Ran stood up and prepared to send Cornelia off. "Mhmm, I'll go over to help after resting for a while. There's always something to deal with. Leave it to your subordinates when appropriate. You should also take care of your rest."
"Not everyone can throw their work aside like you can at a time like this." Cornelia glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "The resistance army has completely withdrawn from the frontline. They're retreating to the last area in the southwest. Our people have begun to take over the territory left behind by the resistance army. The EU side has also begun to pull back their forces after the resistance army retreated. The pressure of the Scarlet Knights' mission of infiltrating and destroying has increased."
Xiao Ran gave a simple reply. "Then tell them to stop for a while and concentrate their forces on the frontline to break through the enemy's defensive line. No matter what, the main goal of weakening the enemy's combat power should not change."
"Okay, we'll do as you say." Cornelia nodded and walked to the door. She turned to Xiao Ran and said, "You don't have to send me off. Rest well and recover as soon as possible. Lelouch has been picked up by the Scarlet Knights. He just left the base with Corgi not long ago. If you're still worried, you should contact them personally."
"Mhmm."
After Cornelia left, Xiao Ran closed the door and sat on the chair where Cornelia sat before. He gently shook his head and began to feel his current condition. Apart from a slight lack of mental strength, there weren't many other problems. He could easily recover after a good rest. After all, Quantum Assimilation hadn't been used for too long.
He had slept for quite a long time. Even Lelouch had arrived in the 19th section and was heading to Selius. He didn't expect Corgi to act so quickly. Xiao Ran did have something to ask Lelouch.
He took out his communicator and began to contact Lelouch. Not long after, Lelouch's face appeared on the screen.'s voice sounded a little noisy.
"You're awake. . "After the call connected, Lelouch, Lelouch, Lelouch a smile.
"I'm fine. I just consumed a little too much energy," Xiao Ran smiled leisurely and said to Lelouch, "Are you still on the plane?"
Lelouch looked very leisurely. With a cup in his left hand, he said unhurriedly, "This is Cornelia's private plane. It's a plane used by the royal family. You can say that it's very enjoyable. There's also a personal pilot to protect you. You don't have to worry about me. As for you, when I arrived at the frontline base, I wanted to meet you, but Cornelia stopped me. She said you were tired and needed to rest. Heh, the relationship between you and Cornelia is very strange. I'd like to know how you're going to explain it to Euphemia."
Xiao Ran's eyebrows twitched twice. He smiled and said, "I haven't contacted you for a long time. You've become a lot more cheerful. Well, let's not talk nonsense. I have something to tell you when you go over."
Lelouch nodded and put down the cup in his hand. The expression on his face became serious. "Go ahead."
"I've already made an agreement with the leader of the resistance. They will be loyal to me from now on. Their character and character are not bad. In my opinion, they can still be trusted. However, they have their own goals and objectives. So, even if they choose to submit to us, you have to be careful on your side."
Lelouch nodded. "I'll be careful even if you don't tell me. When the time comes, I'll just use my geass ability on them."
"Geass isn't omnipotent. If you want to subdue them, you need to rely on sincerity instead of ability." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "You know that your geass ability is completely useless against me. In this world, there are people whose spiritual power is strong enough to ignore your geass ability. You must pay attention to this."
Lelouch nodded with a serious expression. It must be known that his geass ability was useless against Xiao Ran. One had extremely strong spiritual power, and the other was not a normal human. However, now that there were so many participants in this world, there was no guarantee that no one could ignore Lelouch's ability.
Seeing Lelouch nod, Xiao Ran continued. "This time, you can go in any name you want, but this resistance doesn't need to be under Britaria. You must invite them to become a member of the Black Knights and let them join the work of the Black Knights."
Xiao Ran said this to tell Lelouch how to deal with the resistance. Since the other party had chosen to become the resistance, it was basically destined to be another organization opposing Britaria. In the situation where the other party had obtained the highest leadership of the resistance, it was not impossible to join Britaria. However, compared to Britaria, the Black Knights, which was also a resistance force, was more suitable for the resistance. There were fewer contradictions and higher compatibility. Merging the entire resistance force into the Black Knights shouldn't have any side effects. On the contrary, joining Britaria in name would have a greater impact in the future.
"Black Knights?" Luluxiu asked in return. Xiao Ran had told Luluxiu about the Black Knights' future development. The Black Knights would be their main strength in the future. Now, they were letting an organization that had only joined them for a short period of time and didn't have much credibility join the Black Knights. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed a little too anxious.
"You think so highly of this organization?"
Xiao Ran shook his head. "It's not just about that, it's also for the sake of balance. Britaria already has the Scarlet Knights, and now the Black Knights also need a power that can contend against the Scarlet Knights. Regardless of whether the Scarlet Knights can become true companions to us in the future, it's necessary to keep them in check. There's no need to obstruct Corgi, we can tell him directly."
"Corgi is also a smart person. He will know what he should do. Besides, he has completely locked his loyalty to you and will only be loyal to you. He has nothing to do with the Black Knights. In the future, we will very likely need the Blood Knights and this organization that has joined us now to put on a big show together. So, we might as well let them maintain a hostile attitude from the beginning."
Lelouch nodded. "I understand. Telling Corgi about the Black Knights now is the same as telling him that we have another force under us other than the Blood Knights. It's a tactful warning, right?"
Xiao Ran said, "Yes, it's a tactful warning. But Corgi can also rest assured and trust him. As for when he will truly become a member of the Black Knights, or if he will continue to stay in Britaria's camp, it doesn't matter too much. After all, you are the one who will decide everything."
"I will think about it carefully." Lelouch nodded and said, "Do you have anything else to tell me? If not, that's all for now. I will be arriving at my destination soon."
"No, pay attention to your safety."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he hung up the communication after Lelouch nodded gently. He leaned back on the chair and took a breath. Then, he used the communicator again to contact Lelouch. "Go to this coordinate to retrieve the small bits. I will wait for you there."
After the short communication, Xiao Ran stood up and prepared. He changed into a set of clothes and left his residence. He drove alone to the coordinates sent to Liukino. After driving for a long time, when Xiao Ran was about to arrive at the destination, he saw the black fighter slowly landing in the distance. When he drove the car over, he saw Liukino who had already found all the hidden small bits.
The car stopped in front of the fighter. Xiao Ran opened the door and walked out. He smiled at Liukino, "Have you found everything?"
Liukino rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran. Then, she couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, I have found everything. I even dug a hole to bury them. When I dug it out, it was full of dirt. I need to clean it up when I go back. If I don't have the body, it will take a long time."
"There is no other way. After all, this is an enemy territory. I can't be discovered by others. At that time, there was no way for me to make other arrangements. In the end, this is the only way." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He walked in front of Liukino, patted her head, and said, "Okay, I asked you to come this time. By the way, I want you to take me back to the 11th district. I want to see what Loide has made during this time."
"Okay." Liukino smiled and said, "I have been watching over there for you. Recently, the speed is not bad. You will know when you see it for yourself. But if you leave, will it be okay?"
"It doesn't matter. I have done what I can. It won't affect anything if I am not here." Xiao Ran let go of the hand that was rubbing her head. He walked to the front of the fighter and sat behind the cockpit. It didn't take long for him to hook up all the small bits and sit in the main seat of the fighter. He started the body and closed the hatch. He controlled the body to slowly lift off.
"Is the body provided by the Scarlet Knights not suitable for you?"
"It's not adaptable enough." Xiao Ran sighed helplessly. "It's a super mech after all. I can't bring out the full potential of the mech when piloting it. It's too tiring to operate, and it doesn't fit my specialization. It's fine to use it against low-level opponents for now, but if there's an A-class opponent who can bring out the full potential of the mech, it'll be troublesome to deal with them. Moreover, the mech provided by the Scarlet Knights doesn't have any design for GN particles. Piloting a mech like that is too restrictive for me. If I want to find a suitable mech in this world, I can only go to Lloyd's side."
"Not long ago, in order to solve a problem, I used Quantum Assimilation. It didn't have much effect on improving the body. I had to rely on those small bits and personal ability to deal with the opponent."
Liukino was very clear about Xiao Ran's situation. After all, she was also a member of Xiao Ran's team and they were very close. She knew that Xiao Ran could only fully display his strength by piloting a body with a solar furnace and psychokinesis system. As for other bodies, especially the super body, they could only rely on Xiao Ran's own strength to operate. Fortunately, there was a regulator bloodline that could give Xiao Ran a lot of points in pure operation.
Hearing that Xiao Ran had activated Quantum Assimilation, Liukino, who was piloting the shapeshifting fighter at high speed, was stunned for a moment. However, she didn't ask more about Xiao Ran's current situation. After all, the fact that Xiao Ran could appear in front of her at this time and didn't look like anything was wrong meant that Xiao Ran's current situation wasn't bad.
However, Liukino still frowned. She softened her tone and said softly, "If you use Quantum Assimilation next time, you must contact me before you deactivate it."
This was naturally her concern for Xiao Ran. Even Xiao Ran himself had just noticed the problem, so they probably already knew about it.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran also smiled slightly, "I know. If there's a next time, I will definitely ask you to come and watch over me."
Along the way, the two whispered and flew directly to the 11th district. Before approaching the 11th district, Liukino piloted the shapeshifting fighter and began to descend. When it was only a few meters away from the sea, it flew into the 11th district at a very low altitude. It slowed down and finally parked the shapeshifting fighter in a coastal warehouse.
This was a special hangar that looked like an ordinary warehouse from the outside, but its interior had been completely remodeled. When Xiao Ran got off the fighter, he saw more than a dozen KFFs neatly parked on both sides of the hangar. There were also some people in black uniforms coming and going inside. As soon as the fighter stopped, they ran towards the fighter and began to get busy.
Many people in the hangar just looked at Xiao Ran with surprised eyes and began to do their own things. Xiao Ran looked around the hangar and asked Liukino beside him, "What's going on with this place?"
"After you left the 11th district, the Black Knights set up a base. I think there are more than a dozen bases like this in the entire 11th district. This place is a hangar dedicated to parking shapeshifting fighters. In order to facilitate entering and leaving the 11th district, they specifically chose this place near the sea."
