Todd narrowed his eyes at the sudden appearance of Xiao Ran. He felt a headache coming on and his expression became extremely solemn. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire council stiffened.
Originally, Todd tried to use his identity to pressure Cruzet because he didn't believe that Cruzet would be able to respond to his words. He also didn't believe that Cruzet would represent the Burning Legion in this matter. In other words, he wanted to use his identity to force Cruzet to back down before dealing with the Limestone Legion.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Ran would suddenly appear in the army council and not give him any face at all. He did not care about the conflict at all and challenged him rather forcefully. Kreutzer could not make the decision, but Xiao Ran could. At this moment, Todd was really forced into an awkward situation where he could not make a choice.
If he were to respond, he would agree to the war with the Burning Legion. Todd didn't want to think about the consequences of the war. It was hard to say who would win and who would lose, but they would definitely suffer huge losses and the consequences of the war would be too great.
If he didn't respond, it would seem that Xiao Ran's appearance had completely suppressed him. Others would think that he was weak and didn't dare to accept the challenge from the Burning Legion and Xiao Ran's words.
But in fact, Todd was wrong. Cruzet could completely decide the war and it was impossible for him to suppress Cruzet and force him to back down. Cruzet's words and arrangements were actually linked. Even if Xiao Ran didn't appear now, Cruzet would still force the war against the Limestone Legion.
As for Enlightenment and Borsia, Cruzet had also made it clear that this matter was to warn these two legions to be more obedient. Otherwise, they would end up like the Limestone Legion.
Xiao Ran didn't speak. He just calmly looked at Todd in front of him. Todd didn't speak either. He was also looking at Xiao Ran. It was as if countless bolts of lightning were colliding between the two of them.
Xiao Ran didn't continue to press on, but the silent pressure continued to press on Todd like a tidal wave.
"Legion Commander Xiao Ran, is this your decision? You should know that if we really start a war, the entire Prometheus will be plunged into chaos."
In the end, Todd still chose to tactfully back down. Furthermore, he even pulled out the banner of the army's stability. Although he didn't explicitly reject Xiao Ran, this could be considered a declaration of his position. If Xiao Ran also took a step back and gave him a way out of this situation, this matter could be considered over. However, Todd also understood one thing: the Graystone Legion might truly not be able to survive.
But what happened next was completely out of Todd's expectations. Xiao didn't seem to understand Todd's words at all.
"Chaos? Chaos? Chaos? Heh. " Xiao Ran laughed with disdain and mockery. "I once heard a saying: the best way to sneak in is to kill everyone who discovers you. I think this saying is very suitable for this situation."
"The best way to stabilize the situation is to get rid of all those who aren't willing to work for stability. As long as everyone is honest, there won't be any chaos or instability. At most, after one mission cycle, there won't be any more chaos in Prometheus."
"I believe that my Burning Legion has the ability to fight against the 45 Legions at the same time. Moreover, I believe that many of the Legions at the back will be willing to stand on my side."
Todd's face was a little gloomy. He said in a deep voice, "Commander Xiao Ran, do you really have to do this?"
Xiao Ran lightly shook his head, "A battle between armies is a normal thing to do. It's also approved by Prometheus. Moreover, it's not that we want to do this. It's just that you, Commander Tod, seem to be using the name of Enlightenment and Borsia to stand in front of us and stop the battle between Emerald Dream and Limestone."
"Don't think too highly of yourself. Don't think that you're so outstanding. If Enlightenment and Borsia are dissatisfied with my Burning Legion, then we'll just have a little bit of a fight. Let me see what kind of confidence you have that gave you such a sense of superiority."
Todd suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted that his attitude towards Burning Legion had been too impatient. He didn't think that Xiao Ran would be this strong. Not only was he strong, he was even more domineering.
Xiao Ran took a step forward. "I gave you a chance. I also gave Borsia a chance. Even if you can't be brothers, you can at least be friends. Even if you can't be friends, you can at least be acquaintances. But you just have to choose to go against each other. If you want to forget about it now, it's a little too late."
Xiao Ran took a step forward and stared at Todd. "I, Xiao Ran, Commander of Burning Legion, officially announce to everyone here that I officially declare war on Enlightenment, Borsia, and all their affiliated legions. Do you accept or not?"
"Do you really think that the second and third legions can suppress my Burning Legion by joining forces?"
Todd couldn't control the expression on his face. He looked at Xiao Ran in disbelief. Xiao Ran didn't care about the overall situation. He was so strong and crazy. He was using the lives of the entire Burning Legion to make a gamble that even Enlightenment didn't dare to accept.
At this time, the onlookers were already shocked by Xiao Ran's strength. The whispers had already disappeared. Everyone looked at Xiao Ran, who had obviously suppressed Todd, in disbelief. Xiao Ran's strength had already left a mark in everyone's heart that they should not provoke him.
Without anyone noticing, Azure Dragon of the Jade Dream Corps had appeared in the meeting room. Without any hesitation, he chose to stand behind Xiao Ran, expressing his stance to everyone with incomparable certainty. And with Azure Dragon's appearance, a few people walked out from the crowd and stood behind Azure Dragon, similarly expressing their stance.
As the former fourth legion, how could the Jade Dream Legion not have their own subsidiary legions or younger legions?
The female commander of the Borsia Legion, Yu, also came here. Seeing the stalemate and extremely tense situation, she stood beside Todd after coming to the meeting. Before coming here, she had already fully understood what was going on.
Yu was a little cold at this time. She didn't hide her hostile attitude towards Xiao Ran. The smile she had on the five-man meeting had completely disappeared.
Yu said to Xiao Ran, "Legion Commander Xiao Ran, aren't you a little overboard?"
"Overboard?" Xiao Ran was surprised. He thought carefully and said, "Overboard? This word is a little interesting. Do you really think you're high and mighty? No one can violate you? "
With that said, Xiao Ran slightly narrowed his eyes. "Then I'm really prepared to overstep this once. I'm looking forward to the time when you kneel in front of me and beg. One of my favorite things to do is to pull down those who claim to be noble and holy and turn them into the complete opposite."
With Yu, the bad guy, even though everyone could see that Enlightenment and Borsia were in cahoots, it still removed Todd from the position of having to be strong.
Todd stopped the cold-faced Yu and shook his head at Xiao Ran. "Legion Commander Xiao Ran, even if we start a war this time, it will be difficult to determine the outcome. Even if we win, the real result will only be a loss for both sides. As one of the top five legions, we should maintain the peace here and not take the initiative to break it."
"Moreover, it's impossible for a true winner to appear in this war. At that time, even if we win, it will be a great loss. Legion Commander Xiao Ran, it's better for you to reconsider."
Xiao Ran didn't comment. "Is that so? So you also know that this will result in a loss for both sides. I thought that you guys had been in the top five for too long and were confident that you could make anyone submit with just your two legions."
Todd smiled bitterly. "You must be joking, Legion Commander Xiao Ran."
"Hehe." Xiao Ran smiled casually and waved his hand. "Alright, don't act like this in front of me. Azure Dragon, I'll leave the Limestone Legion to you guys. Enlightenment and Borsia will be dealt with by the Burning Legion. If there's anything you need, just ask."
Azure Dragon nodded. "Okay."
Xiao Ran glanced at Todd and Yu. "Originally, I didn't have any intention of finding trouble with you guys. After all, we'll see each other often in the future. However, some people can't help but jump out on their own. I really can't bear to disappoint them. I hope that you guys can be prepared. Don't make me feel too bored. Since you dare to threaten me, then you have to face the consequences of your threats."
Todd's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect that Xiao Ran would still want to start a war with them when he had already chosen to back down. This was simply unreasonable.
"Burning Legion, Xiao Ran." Yu looked coldly at Xiao Ran and said, "Very good, you guys are very good."
"We've always been good, but I don't know whether you guys will be good or not." Xiao Ran smiled disdainfully. Did she need to say whether the Burning Legion was good or not?
Yu glared at Xiao Ran bitterly. In any case, Xiao Ran didn't care about it. If Yu dared to stretch out his hand in this place, Xiao Ran wouldn't mind directly punching Yu's head. Whether he would die or not was another matter. After all, Xiao Ran had a set of special abilities that were completely different from Prometheus. Although it was just a simulation, its power wouldn't be small.
Todd pressed down on Yu's shoulder. He had personally seen Xiao Ran punch another mountain. The power of that punch wasn't small. He really didn't dare to let Yu continue to provoke Xiao Ran at this time.
Looking at Xiao Ran, Todd said in a deep voice, "Legion Commander Xiao Ran, can't we just let this matter go?"
Xiao Ran smiled, "It's useless to say more. Do you think that my Burning Legion is the kind of people who will swallow their anger? I thought that we could at least be friends, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing and threaten me. I'm really scared."
"Prepare well. It's best if you can make me feel fear in the Legion Battle. Make me feel afraid and make me willingly give you what you want. Otherwise, the names Enlightenment and Borsia will be completely removed from Prometheus after the next mission."
Xiao Ran was too lazy to pay attention to these two people. Xiao Ran himself felt that there was something wrong with these two legions' brains. In fact, the Burning Legion had a very good start. On one side, Cang from Borsia had personally come to contact Xiao Ran. On the other side, Todd had exchanged the inheritance from Xiao Ran. In fact, both sides already had the foundation to cooperate.
Even if this cooperation wasn't a full strategic alliance, even if it was only half the degree of cooperation, it could still deepen the relationship between the two sides. However, these two legions chose a more brainless and more direct method. They actually joined forces to prepare to suppress the Burning Legion. They even planned to use threats to obtain benefits from the Burning Legion.
In the beginning, Xiao Ran didn't plan to directly target them. He just wanted to intimidate the Limestone Legion and at the same time, make preparations to prevent the Limestone Legion from rising to the top five again because of Enlightenment and Borsia's disappearance. Who would have thought that Todd would take the initiative to jump out at this time.
If the person who jumped out was Yu, Xiao Ran would still be able to understand. However, this person was Todd. Todd had already been to the Burning Legion's territory and had seen some things. Todd had seen the catalogue of Emerald Dream and Shadowblade Legion. He should more or less be able to understand the strength of the Burning Legion.
What was the meaning of jumping out to deliberately go against them in such a situation? Didn't he know that Emerald Dream had already become a follower of the Burning Legion? Was this stupid? Or was it that they were so confident that the Burning Legion would choose to retreat?
Or was it that they really coveted the things in the hands of the Burning Legion but knew that they wouldn't be able to get it without signing a full strategic alliance, so they joined forces with Borsia to pressure the Burning Legion and use another method to achieve their own goals?
Xiao Ran really couldn't understand Todd's train of thought. In his heart, Todd had already become a person who would screw over his teammates. Even if he couldn't tell Yu because of the confidentiality clause, he should have at least reminded Yu and then rejected when he decided to pressure the Burning Legion. Could it be that this guy had schizophrenia? Or did they have another trump card?
No matter what, these two legions had already become a threat to the Burning Legion. Xiao Ran didn't like it when they secretly targeted him, so he might as well just directly expose everything and fight head on. This was also for the sake of the Pilots in the Burning Legion who hadn't reached S-Rank yet. It was to prevent them from being tricked by these two legions.
Suddenly, Yu said coldly, "Okay, we accept the Legion War."
Todd turned to look at Yu in shock and saw him take a step forward. "I, Borsia Legion's Commander, Yu, accept the Burning Legion's declaration of war."
"Since you want to see our strength, I'll let you see it properly. I hope the one kneeling on the ground won't be you."
Todd looked at Yu and sighed softly. He turned to Xiao Ran and said, "I, Enlightenment Legion's Commander, Todd, accept the Burning Legion's declaration of war."
"I, Limestone, accept the legion's declaration of war."
In an instant, the three legions stood together. Then, some people hesitated for a moment and walked out from the crowd to stand behind the three of them.
Cruzet shrugged and shook his head gently. "How interesting is an all-out war."
"Emerald Dream Legion, Azure Dragon."
"Shadow Blade Legion, Shute."
"Overlord Legion, Na Zi."
Xiao Ran smiled softly. "I'm looking forward to this war."
The Burning Legion had less than ten legions while Enlightenment and Borsia had almost twenty legions. The Legion War was about to start.
