(Continue to ask for votes. New book, Mecha Battle World, please collect, recommend, and reward. Also, can someone tell me what this investment is all about?)
"Very gentle attitude, very strong content, huh?"
Xiao Ran smiled disdainfully. One was the Enlightenment, and the other was Bertia. Although the two armies were ranked second and third, Xiao Ran really did not put them in his eyes.
As for the Enlightenment Army, he showed them some things, but what they saw was only a negligible part of the true strength of the Burning Legion. Even if they knew this part, it was impossible for the siblings to tell anyone after signing a confidentiality agreement.
"There's no need to reply."
Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "It would be giving them too much face to ask you to appear. Just send an announcement and tell them that the Burning Legion will only act according to the rules of the Burning Legion, and there will be no exceptions. If there is a big conflict that is completely irreconcilable, there is no need to take the initiative to declare war. When the time comes, they can choose to avoid the war, and we will lose the initiative."
Cruzet suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Interesting. If they start a war against us, we can refuse once, but we can't refuse a second time. But no matter which of the two armies starts a war first, I'm afraid that in the end, both armies will come together."
"Do you think it is possible that the original Fifth Army is actually a dog raised by these two armies? The first ranked army is usually not very sociable, and then there is Emerald Dream, Enlightenment, and Bertia, who already have a lot of say in the five-man council."
"But when it comes to an important choice, three votes are needed to become the leader. Previously, the two people from the Enlightenment Army contacted us more to test us?"
Xiao Ran thought for a while and said, "What you said is not impossible. If that is the case, then the relationship between these two armies is probably even closer, and their plan is very big."
Cruzet said with a smile, "After all, he is wearing glasses. Although his appearance is not as good as us wearing masks, a participant wearing glasses can be regarded as a disguise."
Xiao Ran tapped the table lightly and said to Cruzet, "Test the waters. Have the Emerald Dream army start a war against Limestone. Have Overlord and Shadow Blade pick two more armies from the super area to assist and annihilate this army. They aren't on the same side as us, so it doesn't matter if they're annihilated."
"If Borsia and the Enlightenment Army want to intervene, then we will intervene as well."
"I've always felt that even if we can't be friends, we should at least nod and smile when we see each other. It's not that I didn't give the two armies a chance to be friends, but I didn't expect them to go overboard and try to disgust us. Regardless of whether the Limestone Legion is the same as them, we should warn them."
Cruzet stood up and patted his butt. "Alright, I'll go inform them now. Also, inform everyone so that they can get ready."
"Go."
Kreutzer left with Aeschi, but he forgot to take the two catalogs that were placed in front of him. Xiao Ran looked at the two catalogs that were stacked together and took them back into her hands.
"Test? Warn them? So anxious? "
"The second and third armies only have this kind of tolerance and thinking? Or have they not failed for so long that they have forgotten the feeling of failure and are only left with confidence? "
"Or is it a deliberate design? Do they want to achieve something and isolate the Burning Legion? Or is it because they are jealous and want to divide the Burning Legion? So it's because of greed? "
"Haha." Xiao Ran stood up with the two catalogs in his hand and slowly walked out of the room. He then handed the catalogs to Blaze who was on duty outside.
"Burn it. It's annoying to see it."
Blaze took the catalogs and said, "I understand, Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran didn't seem to care too much about Enlightenment and Borsia, but they were after all the second and third armies. Even if he could look down on them, if he really wanted to go to war, he would have to make sufficient preparations and pay attention. He would have to start collecting information in advance.
Strength could crush everything, but if there was sufficient intelligence support, then the process could be made easier.
After Cruzet and Aeschi left Xiao Ran's mansion, the two of them split up to do different things. Aeschi went to send a notice to Enlightenment and Borsia, as well as to inform Emerald Dream, Yingren, and Limestone Legion about the war. Cruzet notified the core members and had them make preparations. After that, he took Bai Hechou and Uzzes to collect information about the two armies.
The Limestone Legion was simply in trouble. They were sitting at home and the pot was directly smacked on their faces. After receiving the notice of the Emerald Dream Legion's challenge, the Limestone Legion was dumbfounded. They didn't understand what was going on and why the Emerald Dream Legion would inexplicably start a war with them.
Apart from the last time they clashed with the Emerald Dream Corps and ended up in the sixth position, the Grey Rock Corps had kept a low profile. However, they didn't expect the Emerald Dream Corps to not let them go. They actually issued a request for an army war after a single mission.
It was inevitable that the Graystone Legion had some sort of relationship with the Borsia and Enlightenment Legions. Since they were all part of the Council of Five, there would definitely be some sort of relationship between them. However, it was hard to say how close the relationship was, but there would definitely be some sort of exchange.
Xiao Ran didn't care whether the Limestone Legion existed or not. It was better if it was a dog, but it didn't matter if it wasn't a dog. He wanted to use a show of force to scare the tiger. Even if the Limestone Legion didn't have one in the past, he would force the Limestone Legion to have one in the future. However, if the Limestone Legion was sensible enough, there would naturally be a second option.
However, the truth of the Limestone Legion was only known to the people inside the Limestone Legion.
After receiving the notice, the first thing he did was to send a lot of information to the outside world. He then directly rushed to the army council. He wanted to figure out the situation and do something else.
Cruzet didn't know what the Limestone Legion was thinking. If he knew, he would probably sneer and scold him for being naive. Did he really think that he would be fine after offending Xiao Ran? Previously, when he offended Xiao Ran, he didn't make a move because the time wasn't right, so he let him go for now.
This didn't mean that Xiao Ran was so magnanimous and let it go. He definitely kept the displeasure in his heart. Now that the Burning Legion needed a target to show off their strength, they would still beat the Limestone Legion to death. It could only be said that the Limestone Legion deserved it. However, if the Limestone Legion really had connections with the other two legions, then their deaths weren't unjust. At the very least, Xiao Ran would have one more crime to commit.
Cruzet was collecting information, but not long after, the army council was in a mess because of the Emerald Dream Legion's declaration of war against the Limestone Legion.
Almost all the representatives of the various legions came to the army council, but most of them chose to just watch the show.
The representative of the Emerald Dream Legion sat on the side. Azure Dragon didn't even appear. Instead, he sent his vice commander, Terry. This guy had a cold expression, but he didn't look much different from Azure Dragon. Sitting opposite him, Limestone glared at Terry with a look that said, "If you don't explain clearly, I'll kill you."
Limestone roared, "Why?!"
Terry crossed his arms expressionlessly, "There's no why. Conflicts between legions are very normal. We want to declare war against you, so we do. Of course, you can also choose to refuse."
"They're going to fight."
"I saw it last time. These two legions are definitely not finished. I heard that the Emerald Dream Legion bought a lot of things from the Burning Legion. Their strength must have increased by a lot. Limestone might be completely defeated this time."
"I heard that the relationship between these two legions wasn't very good before. But in the past, both legions were in the top five, and there were three other legions mediating between them, so the conflict didn't spread much. But now, the situation has changed. There's a mysterious Burning Legion. It seems that this time, they're going to support the Emerald Dream Legion to attack Limestone."
"Let's fight, let's fight. If they don't fight, how can we rise to the top?"
"Heh, even if your legions rise to the top, you'll be pulled down in a day or two."
"The mediator is here. It's Todd from Enlightenment."
"There's going to be a good show."
Todd entered the meeting hall. His expression didn't change when he saw the chaotic scene around him. He adjusted his glasses and walked forward, sitting between Terry and Limestone who were confronting each other.
"I've already heard about the situation. Vice Corps Commander Terry, may I take the liberty to ask why Cui Meng would suddenly declare war against Limestone? After all, before this, your two Corps didn't have much of a conflict."
Terry, of course, knew the reason. The commander said that he wanted to make a show of force and find out whether Limestone was a dog of Enlightenment and Borsia. This was something that the Emerald Dream Legion hadn't thought about before. In any case, they had always thought that Borsia and Enlightenment held a lot of power in the five-man council.
But after knowing this, even the members of the Emerald Dream Legion felt that Limestone was very likely a dog. Previously, Limestone had been pestering the five-man council for too long, and in the end, it was Enlightenment and Borsia who came out to mediate.
Previously, they thought that everyone had benefited, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that Enlightenment and Borsia had gotten more benefits, and Enlightenment and Borsia had also gotten benefits that they shouldn't have. It was all because of Limestone's pestering.
Terry didn't have much respect for Todd. The top five legions had equal status, so even if there was a ranking, it didn't matter.
Looking at Todd, Terry said, "It's not that there aren't any conflicts, it's just that they've always been suppressed. Since the last time they challenged us, this conflict has already materialized. Limestone is a threat to the Emerald Dream Legion. Can't we eliminate this threat?"
"Of course it's not that we can't. The Legion War is a method that Prometheus allows."
Todd maintained his smile and said, "It's just that the Emerald Dream Legion is a member of the five-man council, so it's reasonable for them to take on more responsibilities and set a better example. The existence of the council is to maintain the stability between the major legions."
"But if the Emerald Dream Legion takes the lead to destroy this balance and stability, then what will the other legions think of us, the five-man council? Of course, if we really don't give up, no one will stop us. In that case, letting the enemy do as they please is irresponsible. The council won't intervene either."
"I want to be a middleman here. The conflict between the two sides isn't that big yet, so why don't we take this opportunity to have a good chat and clear up everyone's misunderstandings, eliminate the conflict, and compensate for what needs to be compensated. If it really doesn't work, we can also resolve the conflict through a virtual battle. There's no need to cause such a big commotion."
"Hehe, Commander Todd is right."
A voice suddenly sounded. Todd turned his head and saw Cruzet walking in with two people. Then, Cruzet sat down beside Terry. Although he said that Todd was right, he was using his actions to show his support for the Emerald Dream Legion.
Cruzet smiled and nodded at Todd. "Commander Todd, you're right. It's not like we're mortal enemies. There's no need for a small conflict to develop into a fierce fight."
"Let's not talk about the impact this will have on the council. After all, no one here is a real saint. Everyone has a bottom line and can do anything if they're pushed too far. Not to mention the council, even Prometheus can't stop them."
"But, if a fight were to break out, the damage to the two corps would be too great. Isn't the current stability of the Parliament completely based on the deterrence of the opposing forces? If this balance is broken, it might not be a big deal to the other corps, but if your two corps are weakened because of this, you won't be able to continue staying in your current positions."
Cruzet said, "I agree with what Commander Todd said. If there's a problem that hasn't reached the point of a fight to the death, it can be solved through a virtual battle. I support Commander Todd, so I'll be a middleman here and give you some ideas."
"Your two armies can have a virtual battle. Of course, the winner will be rewarded, and the loser will have to give enough compensation, right? However, the compensation must not only be satisfactory, but also reassuring."
"So, I suggest that if either side loses, the loser can simply merge with the other side. You can ask Prometheus to be the guarantor. If the loser is unwilling to join, then let Prometheus strip him of all his abilities and send him to a punishment mission. Whether he lives or dies will depend on his luck."
Kreutzer had a smile on his face. There was sincerity, mockery, disdain, and provocation in his smile. "Commander Toejun, what do you think of my idea? If we win, we won't have to worry. No one will come looking for trouble, and we won't suffer any real losses. Instead, we can turn enemies into friends and become a real family."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I really think that my idea is too good."
