Xiao Ran's series of orders were quickly transmitted through the entire command center. Speaking of which, Xiao Ran's orders and arrangements this time were actually not very clever. He took advantage of the opponent's weakness of penetrating too deeply and then cut off the opponent's arm. Of course, this included the participants who had penetrated deep into the enemy's territory.
The opponent penetrated deep into the enemy's territory on purpose. Their main purpose was to test whether Xiao Ran was still in the 19th District. Taking down the Britarian army's command center was secondary. The participants were generally very confident in their own strength. Once they confirmed that Xiao Ran was not there, they would take down the command center. They were not worried that the Britarians would set up any traps for them. After all, when one's strength reached a certain level, one could completely ignore those traps.
Once Xiao Ran appeared and they failed to surround and kill him, they could choose to retreat. Even if their path of retreat was cut off, it wouldn't hinder them from retreating. However, the other possibility was that Xiao Ran would kill all of them. How could the confident participants believe that such a situation would occur? Moreover, they weren't completely without trump cards.
Xiao Ran grasped the arrogance of these participants. They wanted to completely cut off the hand that had reached in. To achieve this goal, of course, he would need to use a lot of power. He would be the one facing the attack head-on, while the Scarlet Knights would be the ones to completely cut off the enemy's retreat from the side.
This time, Xiao Ran would also pilot the Nephilim Kaiser into battle. This was because now was not the time for the mech that did not even have an official name to officially appear. Once the mech appeared, it would represent the beginning of the Black Knights' involvement in the war. There was only one goal to achieve in the end, which was to stop the war.
In order to achieve the effect of the Black Knights' grand appearance and quickly spread their influence, Xiao Ran thought that their first appearance on this continent must achieve the best effect. They must stop the war on this continent with one appearance, but definitely not in the current situation where the 19th District was cut in half by the EU.
Therefore, the best time was to cut off this hand that had penetrated deep into the 19th section, so that Britaria and the EU could once again enter a stalemate.
After assigning all the necessary arrangements, Xiao Ran turned to Cornelia. "I estimate that all preparations will be completed within 6 hours. Considering the need to conceal our movements as much as possible, it's actually acceptable for us to slow it down to 12 hours. But we don't have to worry too much about that. It's fine as long as we reach our designated battle positions before dawn."
As soon as Cornelia nodded, Xiao Ran continued, "It's now midnight, and the sun will rise in another five to six hours. The EU side should continue their attack after the sun rises, and ordinary troops won't stand a chance against them. Let the troops on the current defensive line retreat and regroup 100 kilometers away. After all, there's no point for them to stay there."
Cornelia furrowed her brows slightly. "But wouldn't that be inconsistent with our previous actions? Such an inexplicable retreat will definitely alert the enemy of our plans. I'm worried that the enemy will be prepared for it."
"It's fine." Xiao Ran said calmly. "Letting the defending troops retreat isn't to buy time, nor is it to set up a diversion. It's just to prevent our actions from being discovered and causing unnecessary losses. As long as we make a move, the enemy will definitely have a way to know. It's impossible for any large-scale combat operation to be completely hidden. So as I said before, we don't need to worry about our actions being discovered. As soon as the enemy makes a move, I'll appear in front of them and intercept their strongest forces."
"I'll leave the rest of the matters here to you. If there are any changes, I'll contact you directly through the comms. You just need to give the corresponding orders according to my instructions."
After Xiao Ran finished, he nodded to Cornelia and prepared to leave. Cornelia was stunned to see Xiao Ran's back as he turned to leave. She quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Ran replied without turning his head. "Of course I'm going to receive my Mech. From now on, the command center will be closed. No one is allowed to leave."
Due to Xiao Ran's previous plan, Nephilim Kaiser did not stay in this stronghold. Therefore, if Xiao Ran wanted to pilot Nephilim Kaiser to attack and deal a sudden blow to the enemy, he naturally could not receive the Nephilim Kaiser in this crowded stronghold.
After leaving the command center, Xiao Ran directly left the stronghold and drove all the way to the Scarlet Knights' encampment. Of course, he wasn't really going to the Scarlet Knights' encampment, he was just going in that direction. In fact, it was only a little more than an hour's drive before Xiao Ran made a turn and went to another place.
When he got out of the car, he saw Demon Lord Kaiser standing in the wilderness, several Mechs of the Scarlet Knights, and the bonfire and figures under the Mechs.
When Xiao Ran walked towards the bonfire, the people around the bonfire also stood up. The leader of the group was the leader of the Scarlet Knights, Corgi. He walked up to Xiao Ran in a few steps and laughed. He patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and said, "Knight Lelouch, you are finally back. As soon as I received your message, I immediately brought your body here. While you were away, we had a hard time fighting. Now that you are back, it means that we can finally fight back, hahaha."
Hahaha. "Xiao Ran nodded. He glanced at the people behind Corgi and said," We'll start the counterattack after dawn. This time, we'll take care of all those people who have infiltrated our territory. "
"Okay. I've been suppressed by those guys for a long time. I've been holding back my anger for a long time." Corgi nodded fiercely and said, "I've seen the command center's order. I've arranged some forces to go to the demarcation line to support the defenders. The main force will be left to deal with those arrogant bastards. We'll follow Knight Lelouch's arrangement."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded. He walked slowly to the bonfire with Corgi and sat down. He said, "The order to the Scarlet Knights was not clear enough. When the time comes, you just need to cooperate with me to encircle and intercept the enemy's main force. We don't need too many people in this regard. Knight Corgi's help and some of the Scarlet Knights' high-level combatants will suffice. The main task of the Scarlet Knights is to annihilate the enemies on the EU's extension route and completely cut off the main force's retreat route. We just need to delay the enemy's retreat."
Xiao Ran's words made it easy for Corgi to understand Xiao Ran's plan. The real high-level combatants of the Scarlet Knights would cooperate with Xiao Ran to launch a surprise attack on the EU's frontline participants. Some of the Scarlet Knights had already been dispatched to assist the frontline in defending against possible EU reinforcements and maintain the stability of the defensive line. The rest of the Scarlet Knights would focus on the enemies on the demarcation line and cut off their retreat route. When necessary, the Scarlet Knights would delay the retreat of the frontline participants.
Such a plan was very simple, and Corgi had no difficulty in understanding it. If he could not even understand this, he would not be qualified to continue to be the commander of the Scarlet Knights. The plan was simple. It could be said that as long as one had a brain, one could think of it. However, it did not mean that it could be done. First of all, the Scarlet Knights had to have an absolutely powerful force to deal with the enemy's frontline.
Previously, due to the EU participants' ferocious attacks, and the Scarlet Knights' need to preserve their strength, they did not have the strength to truly crush their opponents. Even if they were willing to sacrifice more to completely drag out the battle, they would also bring about the same amount of damage to their opponents. However, in the end, it was meaningless. Corgi could not afford such a loss, and the EU participants should be the same as well. If they were to really fight without regard for the cost, the EU participants would definitely choose to retreat instead of fighting head-on.
The participants on both sides did not always lose. There were wins and losses on both sides, and both sides would immediately retreat before the worst situation. However, the situation had indeed developed to the point where the Scarlet Knights were forced to retreat. Was it because of the difference in strength? No, it was not completely like that. It could only be said that the courageous would emerge victorious in a narrow path. In order to preserve his strength, Corgi had taken the initiative to make many concessions.
However, with the addition of Xiao Ran, the addition of an additional high-level combatant would add another important weight to the originally balanced scales, directly determining the direction of victory or defeat. However, the EU was so bold as to come so deep into the enemy's territory. Did they really not make the slightest bit of preparations? Did they really not have the slightest doubt that this was a deliberate plan by Butaria to make them advance rashly?
Xiao Ran felt that there might be some twists and turns in the upcoming battle, but no matter what the twists and turns were, it did not matter. It was enough to completely drive the EU army out of the area occupied by Butaria and annihilate the enemy's combat power as much as possible. At that time, even if someone managed to escape from the encirclement of the Scarlet Knights, it would be impossible to do anything. They could only try their best and prioritize killing the enemy's strongest pilots.
As for failure, Xiao Ran did not even think about it. He also had the same confidence as the other participants, even more so than the average participant.
Although Xiao Ran was confident, he still reminded Corgi, "But you have to be more careful. The enemy's mode of action is a little strange according to common sense. No matter how confident they are in their own strength, when faced with the huge army of Butaria and the Scarlet Knights who can fight against them, they still chose to fight in a single line of attack. This can no longer be described as a simple risk."
"I suspect that the enemy is hiding more strength, or it is a means to ensure that they can achieve their final goal. Don't fail at the end. When the time comes, if your subordinates encounter a situation where they can't win, it's best not to choose to fight head-on."
Corgi nodded solemnly when he heard Xiao Ran's reminder. He could more or less feel the unscrupulous aura of the other party.
Xiao Ran stood up and faced the Demon God Caesar in the night. He asked, "Has the body been checked?"
Hearing Xiao Ran suddenly change the topic, Corgi tilted his head and looked at the Demon God Caesar. He nodded and said, "Every day, we have people to do a routine check. The energy has also been replenished. Now, this body is in its best condition."
"Well, it's getting late. Rest for a while and adjust. When it's about time, we will set off. Are the other members of the Scarlet Knights in position?"
Xiao Ran said and turned around. Corgi also stood up and patted his butt, "When I received the notice, I had already ordered my subordinates to go to the predetermined location. I will immediately confirm with them."
"Okay, I will send you the specific battle arrangements in a while." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he nodded to Corgi and boarded the cockpit of the Demon God Caesar. He opened the body's main system and connected to the military encrypted network of Britaria. He updated the body's map information, edited a battle arrangement and sent it to Corgi. After that, he closed his eyes and began to take a nap in the cockpit.
A few hours later, the sky gradually brightened up, and the sun's rays slowly sprinkled on the ground. Xiao Ran opened his eyes and sat up straight. He took his feet off the console and moved his neck and wrist unhurriedly. At the same time, he pressed the communication button on the side of the console, and at the same time, the body was fully activated.
"It's about time. We will set off in three minutes."
As soon as Xiao Ran's voice fell, the several airframes around Demon God Caesar all let out a soft roar. The eyes of these airframes lit up with different colors of red, green, and yellow. Their thrusters spurted out powerful and scorching airflows, flickering with high-temperature exhaust flames. Under the leadership of Demon God Caesar, they all soared into the sky one by one.
Corgi sat in his own body and his eyes kept wandering around the screen showing the Demon God Caesar. He was driving a body more powerful than the Demon God Caesar. Like most of the participants who had a certain level of strength, the body Corgi was now driving was also a completely original body, at least in terms of appearance.
But when he looked at the Demon God Caesar, there was no confidence and pride in Corgi's face and eyes. His eyes were full of curiosity and complexity, and this curiosity and complexity came entirely from the unknown of Xiao Ran's strength. Corgi, who had never really seen Xiao Ran display his full strength, didn't have a direct understanding of Xiao Ran's strength. Today was the first time the two of them fought together. Corgi couldn't wait to see what kind of terrifying strength Xiao Ran, who was regarded as his thigh, had.
