Xiao Ran had given the Scarlet Knights some benefits by throwing the captive to them. No matter what, even if the other party had a mission restriction, giving Corgi some benefits would make him think more about things outside of the mission. An epic grade super mech pilot was already considered excellent to Corgi, so the other party would definitely not give up on such an excellent pilot so easily. As for what they could exchange for the captive, it would depend on Corgi's own ability. However, it was also possible that the other party would choose to kill them during the exchange.
Xiao Ran did not say anything else after that. He followed the technology to the place where the Death God's Machine was placed. He saw the Death God's Machine with all of its limbs cut off or disassembled. Even the intact armor plates were all dismantled and placed aside.
After walking around the Death God's Machine twice, he found that other than the parts that were destroyed by himself, there were only a few parts that were physically cut off according to Corgi's technology. This removed the possibility of the Death God's Machine protecting itself. As for the rest, it did not seem to be missing anything.
Xiao Ran nodded with satisfaction. He turned to Corgi and said, "It's done. Pack it up and send it to Area 11. Someone will receive it there."
Corgi of course would not say no to Xiao Ran's arrangement. He nodded and said, "I'll arrange it right away."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded, turned around, and walked out. This time, he came here to take a look at the Death God's Machine and tell Corgi that the captive was handed over to him. Now that the matter was settled, there was no need to stay any longer. As he walked back, Xiao Ran also told Corgi about the following arrangements.
"The clean-up and reorganization work should continue for a few more days. Although we managed to repel the EU this time, they definitely won't give up on attacking us so easily. Our internal situation isn't stable yet, and if they seize this opportunity to launch a large-scale operation against us, it will be troublesome for us. I'll leave the frontlines to you guys to keep an eye on them. If there are any problems, I'll be the first to come to your aid."
Corgi clenched his fist and said, "Well, I'll send people to guard those guys from EU. There will definitely not be a situation like before where we let them go so far."
"I can't blame you for that." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "It was my plan to give up those areas on purpose to reduce losses. However, the strength of the EU was indeed unexpected. Fortunately, we had your help. Otherwise, the 19th District would have been long gone."
Corgi didn't say anything. That was what he thought in his heart. Without the help of the Scarlet Knights, Britalia's forces would have been driven out of Africa long ago. Therefore, he accepted Xiao Ran's praise without hesitation. He didn't say anything because it wasn't appropriate to boast, and if he were to say something modest, it would show his loyalty wrongly. After all, the Scarlet Knights weren't fighting for Britalia. Furthermore, why should he be modest? Therefore, by not saying anything, he had already expressed his attitude.
Xiao Ran didn't pay attention to Corgi's thoughts at this moment. He said to himself, "After the reorganization work is over, I will make an illusion of a full-scale war against EU. However, the illusion also needs to be supported by reality, so when the time comes, I will also need the Scarlet Knights to cooperate and launch an all-out attack against EU."
Corgi frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Xiao Ran wanted to do this, but he still nodded to show that he understood.
Xiao Ran suddenly stopped and looked at the Demon God Caesar who was not far away. He said unhurriedly, "Are you confused? It's normal for you to be confused. You should know the relationship between His Highness Lelouch and the Black Knights. The Black Knights will be an extremely special existence in many of the plans that will follow. It's just that we haven't had a truly powerful combat strength. Of course, I'm not talking about myself. It's just that we haven't had a body that can compare to the Scarlet Knights that will have a special status. "
"However, not long ago, that body was completed. I left to deal with the finishing work of that body. The completion of that body also means that at least from the standpoint and perspective of the Black Knights, we already have a truly powerful combat strength that is enough to affect the entire world. There will be more such forces appearing in the future, including the Roaring Lion Legion that has joined the Black Knights."
"So now, the Black Knights only need a real opportunity to officially appear in the eyes of the entire world. The battle between Brittany and EU has already attracted the attention of the entire world. A full-scale conflict and a larger scale battle may erupt at any time on this battlefield. This is the best opportunity for the Black Knights to appear."
"When the time comes, I will pilot the mecha of the Black Knights and appear in the fiercest battle with absolute justice when both sides have invested the most military forces. At the same time, I will launch an attack on all the military forces of EU and Buttalia on the battlefield. Firstly, it will allow the Scarlet Knights to appear perfectly, and secondly, it will show the most powerful force to stop this meaningless war. Once the war stops, it means that the 19th district can maintain the current territory and enter a state of truce, but at that time, I need you and your Scarlet Knights to attack me without hesitation."
Corgi was stunned for a moment. "You want to attack us, and we want to attack you?"
Xiao Ran turned to look at Corgi. "Well, this is hard to understand. If not, how can the Black Knights ensure absolute justice? Of course, you can rest assured that I will fight with all my strength. That body is also the most suitable body for me to use. It is the most suitable body for me to use. You don't have to worry about the possibility of you or your subordinates hurting me. Similarly, no matter if it is you or EU, all targets within my attack range will not be harmed by my hands. I will avoid all the vital parts of the body, such as the body's arms, legs, weapons, and head."
"It's just that when the time comes, the Scarlet Knights will more or less be looked upon differently in Brittany because I have defeated everyone by myself. It will also bring a lot of losses to the Scarlet Knights. This is necessary, but it will allow all of you to return to Brittany and officially start the capital control plan."
Xiao Ran suddenly smiled. "Don't use your current level of vision to speculate and imagine my true strength. If I'm not sure, I won't do it. I'm telling you now because I want you to be prepared. There is no need to show any mercy on the battlefield."
Corgi looked at Xiao Ran in a daze. His eyes were full of astonishment. After taking a deep breath, he nodded heavily. "I understand. Compared to the plan of Knight Lelouch and Your Highness, the Scarlet Knights will suffer some disdain and losses. As for Knight Lelouch, I won't tell anyone else for the time being."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded lightly and said, "That's good too. At least your subordinates won't feel restrained when they know that the person sitting in the Mech is me. Only when you can show your true strength can you act more realistically."
"Okay, I've said what I need to say and seen what I need to see. Next, prepare well, especially investigate the situation in the capital. When the operation begins, you will be the absolute main force."
Corgi gritted his teeth and nodded heavily. "I understand."
Xiao Ran turned around and left. When Demon God Caesar flew into the sky and completely disappeared from Corgi's sight, Corgi gently patted his face. His face was full of disbelief. He heard what Xiao Ran said just now, but it was because he heard it that he felt it was unbelievable.
He had already experienced Xiao Ran's powerful strength. There was no doubt about it. However, what kind of strength did he have to be able to say that he could fight against the top forces of the EU participants and the Scarlet Knights with just one Mech? And he said it so casually as if he didn't care at all. What kind of Mech was Xiao Ran talking about? Why did Xiao Ran say that it was the most suitable Mech?
In short, Corgi believed Xiao Ran's words. The more he believed, the more incredulous he felt. He also had more doubts and puzzlement about Xiao Ran's true strength.
In the following days, Xiao Ran did not run around. The EU side had just suffered a defeat and needed time to recover. In addition, they had confirmed that Xiao Ran was at least in the 19th District. He had easily defeated the Epic tier Grim Reaper and forced the Seven Gods to leave. Without the support of a powerful force, the EU participants were not sure if they could defeat Xiao Ran. They did not dare to make any more radical moves to avoid angering Xiao Ran.
In this way, the rare peace between the two sides lasted for a few days. However, with Xiao Ran's order, all the members of the Scarlet Knights went to the frontline. Countless ordinary soldiers of the 19th District joined the fray. Immediately, a tense atmosphere rose on the border. The decisive battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out. Even the EU side had to respond to the arrangements of the 19th District. They sent more people to the frontline and set up more trenches and artillery formations. At this time, they were no longer thinking about attacking, but how to defend against a powerful opponent.
EU's main camp was in Europe, and once Africa was completely taken over by Brittalia, there would be no buffer or leeway between EU and Brittalia. If there was another war in the future, it would definitely start near EU's main camp, and the impact on EU could be said to be quite serious. This time, they didn't have the confidence to completely lose the war in Africa. No matter what, they had to fiercely step on Africa, even if they had to pay a high price.
For this reason, the EU side once again supported more participants to the African side. Although Xiao Ran did not have an accurate source of information, through the intelligence network of Britaria, he knew that the EU side had sent a lot of participants to Africa. As for how he knew, the intelligence personnel only needed to pay attention to whether there were different types of mechs entering and exiting Africa. It was just that the specific number was unknown and they could not send out accurate information.
After investing so many participants in Africa, the number of participants on the EU side had completely exceeded the number of Scarlet Knights. In Xiao Ran's opinion, either the other side's strength was indeed much stronger than the Scarlet Knights, or the three participants who chose to join the EU side had joined forces. As for which one it was, Xiao Ran was not prepared to delve into it with his current identity.
However, after the conflict between the 19th District and the EU was resolved and the war was forcibly suppressed by force, Xiao Ran was ready to find Corky and reveal his identity as a participant. With the new mech and absolute strength, he finally had the confidence to stand in front of the other participants as a participant.
Xiao Ran had even thought about how Corgi, who was at most an A-level, would react when he found out that his true identity was actually a participant, an S-level pilot from another real zone that was different from the super zone. He was equivalent to the existence of a mythical super system.
If he knew that Xiao Ran was going to completely incorporate the entire Scarlet Knights in the name of the Burning Legion, not like the Overlord Legion, but truly turning the Scarlet Knights into a Burning Legion, what would he think?
In addition to the Scarlet Knights, Xiao Ran also had his eyes on the Roaring Lion Legion. The members of this legion cooperated really well, and the legion leader was also quite interesting. His character was worthy of Xiao Ran's attention, so Xiao Ran also wanted to incorporate the Roaring Lion Legion. However, compared to the bootlicker Corky of the Scarlet Knights, it would be more difficult to subdue the Roaring Lion Legion.
The size of the Burning Legion was huge, and the number of members was not considered small. Even the weakest participant was considered an elite in Xiao Ran's eyes. After all, he had paid a huge price to nurture these people. However, the lack of participants had always been a problem. They were not worthy of the current size of the Burning Legion. Although he had recruited more people later on, the situation had only improved slightly.
In the Burning Legion in the super district, this problem was more serious. They had probably inherited Xiao Ran's philosophy of not wanting to be in the limelight, so the sub-legions in the super district had always been developing and not stirring up trouble. In terms of manpower, they had always been quite scarce, and because all the support could be obtained from the main legion, they never lacked anything. When they had more or less enough manpower, they emphasized on prioritizing the elite and did not recruit any external members.
Xiao Ran did not think much of it before, and his thoughts did not change much now. However, after meeting the Scarlet Knights and the Roaring Lion Legion, which had quite a lot of potential, Xiao Ran suddenly felt that it was a good idea to take in these two legions to expand their manpower.
