It didn't take much time to return to Prometheus from the territory. Aeschi led the way into the independent base of the Legion Council. As soon as Xiao Ran entered, he saw Cruzet talking to the people around him with a smile.
Cruzet naturally saw Xiao Ran at a glance. He politely nodded to the people around him and greeted, "My Legion Commander, this must be your first time here."
"Isn't it enough with you around?" Xiao Ran smiled and looked at the people around him and asked, "These people are?"
"These are the representatives of the legions that have signed a contract with our Legion." Cruzet stood beside Xiao Ran and said to the people with a smile, "Everyone, this is our Burning Legion's Legion Commander Xiao Ran."
"I've heard a lot about you, Legion Commander Xiao Ran."
"Legion Commander Xiao Ran is really admirable."
"I hope that Lord Xiao Ran can take care of me in the future."
As soon as Kreutzer made the introductions, the surrounding people immediately started throwing out all kinds of flattery. Xiao Ran also nodded with a polite and warm smile. Kreutzer raised his hand and waved it down. He smiled and said to those people, "We are all partners who have signed the contract of cooperation. Our Legion Commander will definitely take care of everyone. We still have some matters to attend to, so we will take our leave for now."
After wasting a few minutes, the person who accompanied Xiao Ran became Cruzet. After entering the base building, Xiao Ran asked, "What's the situation now?"
The fake smile on Kreutzer's face disappeared without a trace. He said, "I suddenly received a notice saying that because there was a big change in the ranking of the top five, the issue of shared territory needs to be discussed again by the top five legions. Then, it quickly turned into a meeting between the five legions. After all, you almost never appear. The other legions' legions' commanders will appear, so it's not very suitable for someone like me who's not a legion commander."
"In addition, there should be some mutual probing, some exchange of interests, and some exchange of information. That's what Azure Dragon told me. Lastly, there's the information about the fantasy zone. I know from Azure Dragon that no one has ever come into contact with the fantasy zone, not even something like a cross-zone mission card. However, Azure Dragon said that the first ranked army commander might know something. That person's identity is very special, and he's not as simple as a participant. Therefore, if we want to obtain information about the fantasy zone, we can only rely on you."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, "To what extent?"
Cruzet stopped and said, "There are rumors that that person originally belonged to the fantasy zone. I can't be sure whether it's true or not, but at least he doesn't belong to the reality zone. There are also rumors that he was originally a native of Prometheus, but that was a long time ago. Until now, no one can be sure whether these rumors are true or false."
"But he's still the first Legion Commander. In theory, he should be the strongest person in that Legion. In name, he's the strongest person in Prometheus' reality zone."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and patted Cruzet's shoulder, "Okay, I got it."
Cruzet smiled, "That's the information I got. Anyway, I'll tell you this. You can deal with it. I don't have to worry about the rest."
Xiao Ran nodded.
The two walked for a while and then stopped in front of a gate. There were several people standing in front of the gate. One of them was the Vice Legion Commander of the Emerald Dream Legion. After seeing Xiao Ran, he bowed politely to Xiao Ran, "Legion Commander Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran smiled, "Hello."
The other people also looked at Xiao Ran, but except for one person who smiled and nodded at Xiao Ran, the others didn't have much of an expression.
The Vice Legion Commander of the Emerald Dream Legion leaned to the side and said, "Legion Commander Xiao Ran, the other Legion Commanders have been waiting for a long time."
Xiao Ran nodded, "I'll go in now."
The Vice Legion Commander of the Emerald Dream Legion didn't let Xiao Ran open the door himself. Instead, he took the initiative to open the door for Xiao Ran. After Xiao Ran walked in, he stood together with Cruzet, clearly expressing his attitude and position to the others. As for the person who smiled at Xiao Ran, he was from the third ranked Borsia Legion. The two legions were already in the process of establishing cooperation, so they also showed friendliness.
However, the others showed complete unfamiliarity and caution.
After walking through the gate, Xiao Ran saw four people standing or sitting in the room. Except for Azure Dragon, who was standing on the side with his arms crossed, Xiao Ran didn't recognize the other three people at all.
As a newcomer who had suddenly joined this circle, Xiao Ran took the initiative to politely say, "Hello, everyone."
Azure Dragon quickly walked over to Xiao Ran, "Legion Commander Xiao Ran, come in, let me introduce you to the three Legion Commanders."
"Legion Commander of the Borsia Legion, Zhou."
Xiao Ran looked at the person introduced by Azure Dragon. When he came into contact with Cang, Xiao Ran didn't expect that their Legion Commander would actually be a woman. A woman who led the third top legion in the entire real area immediately reminded Xiao Ran of Na Zi. How could the gap between them be so big when they were both women?
This person called Zhou couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but there was no doubt that she was beautiful. In Prometheus, handsome men and beautiful women could be seen everywhere, but it wasn't the seductive beauty of Aixi. Instead, it was a very heroic beauty, like a female general who was valiant and formidable.
Like Cang, it was a single-word name, a simple word, Zhou. However, it was unknown whether this name was just a code name or their real name, and what kind of meaning it had.
"Legion Commander Zhou."
"Hello, Legion Commander Xiao Ran."
"This is the Legion Commander of the second ranked legion, Todd."
This was a gentle-looking person. He wore a half-robe, his hair was meticulously combed back, and he wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses. He looked very gentle, gentle, and wise. He also held a thick book in his hand. He didn't look like a participant who had experienced countless battles, but more like a scholar.
After hearing his name, he nodded slightly and smiled at Xiao Ran.
"Finally, this is the Legion Commander of the current number one Army of Myth …"
"Nameless."
For a moment, Xiao Ran felt like he had walked into the wrong movie set. However, the word "Myth" made sense in Prometheus. Nameless was a famous name.
John Doe had a head of natural white hair. He was silent and gloomy, like a bottomless pool of deep water. Even though he openly revealed all of his face, he was also exuding a kind of mystery. His face was not good-looking, but it was so ordinary that it was difficult to find any good points, but also impossible to find any flaws in his face.
In addition to Azure Dragon, who forcefully displayed a cold and arrogant attitude, the four people in this room could be said to have their own unique characteristics. And now, with the addition of Xiao Ran, tsk tsk tsk, this meeting of five was even more interesting.
Xiao Ran looked at the three people other than Azure Dragon and nodded with a smile. "I'm sorry, I don't have much contact with the Army Council, so I know very little about it. It's really embarrassing to keep everyone waiting."
Since Nameless didn't speak, Azure Dragon didn't have the right to speak. Among the remaining two, Todd raised his head and pushed his glasses up to show Xiao Ran that it was fine. His gentleness was completely different from Xiao Ran's. It felt like the gentleness that came from his bones was like the warmth of a small sun. On the other hand, Xiao Ran's smile was like the bright sun, warm but also hot. It was the kind that would burn someone if they didn't pay attention.
The last one, Yu, waved his hand heartily and said in a rather heroic voice, "After all, this is the first time Legion Commander Xiao Ran has come into contact with the five-person council. It's normal that you didn't receive any notice and came late. Don't worry about these small matters. It's all thanks to Legion Commander Xiao Ran that the troublemaker was chased out of the five-person council."
The troublemaker was naturally referring to Limestone of the Limestone Legion who was once ranked fifth. That burly man who was rough on the outside but also very noisy on the inside.
The five chairs in the room represented the top five seats of the real army. Now, there were only two chairs left unoccupied. Xiao Ran didn't care and casually sat on one of the chairs with a smile on his face. Azure Dragon then sat on the last chair.
This kind of order seemed to indicate the ranking between them, but at the same time, it also seemed to express a deeper meaning. This made the other three involuntarily look at Xiao Ran and Azure Dragon.
This Azure Dragon, who usually appeared quite cold at all times, actually welcomed Xiao Ran so warmly and even kindly introduced Xiao Ran to him. This was indeed somewhat unbelievable in the eyes of the three people.
The man with glasses, Todd, put down the book in his hand and smiled at Xiao Ran. "It seems that Legion Commander Xiao Ran and Legion Commander Azure Dragon are already very familiar with each other."
"They are indeed very familiar with each other." Xiao Ran didn't deny this point. He maintained his elegant smile and said, "After the battle with the Emerald Dream Legion's virtual army, I took the initiative to find Legion Commander Azure Dragon. After all, we will all be sitting at the same table and working together in the future. We are all part of the top five armies, so there's no need to be unhappy and fight to the death because of a ranking issue. It will bring even more chaos to Prometheus, so I took the initiative to seek cooperation with the Emerald Dream Legion."
"Legion Commander Azure Dragon is a good person. Although his appearance is cold, his heart is warm and polite. He is a person who can become friends."
Yu smiled. "Legion Commander Xiao Ran and my legion's Cang also seem to get along very well. I also hope to become a true friend with Legion Commander Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran nodded and smiled. "I welcome it very much. I hope that the Burning Legion can become friends with everyone and not enemies. I also don't want the Burning Legion to become the enemy of others. Being harmonious is a good thing. We are willing to cooperate with anyone who is willing to cooperate with our Burning Legion."
Although the five of them were ranked from the first to the fifth army, this ranking didn't mean that the weight of their words would be determined by the ranking when the five Legion Commanders sat together. In fact, everyone sitting here was equal, unless there was a big shot who could really suppress the others.
It was difficult for Xiao Ran to give an accurate evaluation of these people. Of course, he had to exclude Azure Dragon. Nameless' depth couldn't be seen, Todd seemed to be deliberately hiding it, and Yu seemed to be magnanimous. However, if Xiao Ran really wanted to say it, only Nameless might have the ability to suppress the others. But that was in the past.
Now that Xiao Ran had entered this council, he naturally wouldn't give the others a chance to unify. If there was to be a unification, it would be his unification and not the others'.
Whether the three of them believed what Xiao Ran said or not had nothing to do with Xiao Ran. There was no need and meaning to care at all.
Yu nodded and said, "The Burning Legion used to be quite famous, especially the airframes, battleships, and weapons produced by the Burning Legion were all fine. But now, they used their own strength to prove themselves."
Other than saying his name at the beginning, Nameless didn't say a word until now. He didn't have any intention of speaking at all. The one who spoke the most was Yu. It was hard to say whether he should say that she was indeed a woman or that she was deliberately relying on the fact that she was the only woman here to increase her right to speak.
Todd smiled and said, "We've said enough polite words. Now, let's talk about business?"
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Sure."
Todd looked at Yu and made an inviting gesture, and the latter directly said, "The main purpose of the five-man council this time is to meet Army Commander Xiao Ran and also to get to know Army Commander Xiao Ran better. There might be a gap in strength between the top five armies, but it's hard to say how big this gap is."
"The purpose of the army council is to maintain the stability of the general environment in the real zone, so the five-man council of the top five armies has to take the lead in this. Before this, conflicts between the armies of the five-man council rarely appeared and were very restrained. Therefore, we also hope that the Xiao Ran Army's Burning Legion can maintain a good relationship with our four armies after joining."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Of course."
Todd smiled and added, "The army council has its own internal trade channels and communication channels, but there is also another small circle of trade and intelligence that belongs to the five-man council. We also sincerely invite Army Commander Xiao Ran to join us."
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "Can you ask what level of cooperation each army needs to enter this circle to be considered as sincere in joining?"
Todd replied, "There is no level of cooperation, and there are no mandatory measures. There is value in resources and intelligence, and we are willing to give them out. However, if we want to get them, we must give a corresponding reward. This is natural, but there will be some tacit understanding. For example, when the five armies enter the same mission, how to avoid conflict, what kind of consensus should be reached on maintaining stability."
"Isn't today's five-man council just to have a good exchange with Army Commander Xiao Ran?"
