Except for Xiao Ran, everyone in the command room naturally didn't know what kind of machine the black fighter plane was. But outside the command room, on a kf loading truck, Lloyd saw this sudden appearance. After the black fighter jets wiped out two aerial teams at extremely fast speeds, for a moment Lloyd's glasses almost fell off his face, and he stumbled and fell hard on the table.
Shumu Zhuque, who was prepared but had no chance to attack, was also startled. Originally, Shumu Zhuque was sitting in a daze with a preoccupied look. Suddenly, Shumu Zhuque looked at Lloyd blankly. After the sudden funny performance, Cecil looked at Lloyd angrily, as if blaming Lloyd for scaring Shumu Suzaku: "What are you doing."
"I didn't do anything, haha, I didn't do anything. I just didn't sit firmly on the chair." Lloyd pushed up his glasses, squinted at the black fighter plane on the screen, and then reached out to wipe his forehead after being startled. I was sweating coldly, I felt my vest was cold, and I felt an inexplicable panic, but I didn't know why, and then a feeling of excitement came over me.
"This is a fighter plane. Yes, it's that kind of fighter plane. This kind of fighter plane actually appeared. It appeared right under my nose. This kind of performance and this kind of combat effectiveness are incredible. It's incredible. It turned out to be on that drawing. The fighters created are so powerful. Knight Xiao, the things you gave me are really amazing. They also gave the empire a big gift, a gift that will kill you as long as others know about it. A gift from the earth, hahaha.”
"What are you going to do when you give me those technologies? What are you going to do with those machines you want me to create? What is your relationship with the Black Knights? What role did you play in today's incident?" Effect, Knight Xiao, you give me more and more surprises."
Lloyd said to himself in his mind, his eyes narrowed out of habit, and his thoughts had flown to nowhere.
Lelouch also saw the black fighter plane that suddenly appeared. When the fighter plane launched an attack on the empire's aerial search team, Lelouch knew that this fighter plane was what Xiao Ran had arranged, but for this fighter plane Lelouch, who also had no understanding, also noticed the extraordinary nature of the black fighter plane, and because of Xiao Ran's own extraordinary nature, he naturally believed that this black fighter plane would also be extraordinary.
After thinking about Xiao Ran's words about asking them to build a factory and configure the aircraft for special personnel, Lelouch even guessed whether the aircraft Xiao Ran mentioned was such a fighter plane, and then decided to confirm with Xiao Ran that this kind of unique aircraft What are the different fighter planes? Are the factories established to manufacture the same kind of fighter planes
It's just that in Lelouch's mind, although this fighter plane has shown outstanding performance, he still feels that a body like the fighter plane is not suitable for the current situation. It's not that the fighter plane is bad, but that kf is in many cases Be more applicable.
In the end, no one from the Black Knights was caught. Although the box truck was finally found, it was just a box truck. From the beginning to the end, except for Lelouch and the Black Knights who took the initiative to show up, Except, no trace of the Black Knights has been found since.
What happened here is that the Black Knights suddenly became famous in the entire District 11, but compared to Zero, they were still a little bit behind. After this incident, Zero not only became the most discussed mysterious figure in District 11 , even many places throughout the empire have noticed this name, a person who killed royal princes in the name of sanctions.
The second most famous person is Xiao Ran. However, compared to Lelouch, he has gradually begun to gain some fame in the entire empire, good or bad. Xiao Ran's fame is limited to the eleventh district. A man who is willing to save The benevolent knight who was old and weak and took the initiative to step into danger was eventually surrounded by the Black Knights, but it slowly began to spread that Knight Xiao took the initiative to give up resistance for the safety of the hostages, and also indirectly. The kindness and benevolence of Governor Euphilia, who 'sent' Knight Xiao, spread to all parts of District 11.
In short, whether the justice organization of the Black Knights appears or Euphilia's benevolent political goals have been widely spread, rescuing all the hostages safely is the best ending.
After the hostages were rescued, Euphilia no longer needed to care about matters at the venue. Kilford took over the work of on-site investigation and began to deal with a series of things caused by this incident. Alone stayed at the scene to conduct command.
The others, Euphilia, Xiao Ran, and Bimax returned to the Governor's Mansion, and together with the two participants disguised as subordinates or followers, they started the dinner that had been prepared since the morning in the Governor's Mansion. A small dinner party with only a few people participating.
Throughout the dinner, Xiao Ran behaved very normally, and did not have any excessive interaction with the two participants. It was more Euphilia and Bimax talking, more like two people chatting. Doing family affairs on an empire scale.
The dinner and the tea after the meal lasted for more than an hour. It was not until the tea in the cup was finished that Bimax stood up and said goodbye to Euphilia: "Your Highness, today's unexpected incident Although the incident was just an accident, my arrival in District 11 will probably be leaked out soon, so we are no longer waiting for the next batch of people to arrive. I have already arranged the flight and will be leaving overnight. Leave, those information should be brought back to the empire as soon as possible to make people feel at ease. If leaked, it may bring unnecessary trouble to the empire."
Euphilia was surprised that Bimax was ready to return to the country immediately without even staying for a day, but after listening to Bimax's words, she nodded with understanding: "I know, it's really a blessing for you, Sir Bimax." , Originally I hoped that Sir Bimax could stay a few more days to give me some advice, but for the sake of the development of the empire, there is no other way. Mr. Knight, I would like to trouble you to send them off."
Mr. Knight has become Euphilia's exclusive name for Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran also stood up from the tea table and nodded to Euphilia: "Okay, I will escort Knight Bimax to leave safely."
After saying that, Xiao Ran turned to Bimax and nodded: "I'll arrange the vehicle first."
On the way from the Governor's Mansion to the military airport, Xiao Ran, who was the escort, was sitting in the passenger seat of the car in the middle, while Bimax was sitting alone in the back seat. The other two people had no idea that their identities had been revealed. The participant who Xiao Ran saw through was sitting in the car in front.
The person who acted as the driver in the carriage was none other than Jeremiah. Regardless of his superior-subordinate relationship with Xiao Ran, but being able to serve as the driver for Bimax, who had the title of first knight in the empire, Jeremiah was actually still in his heart. I feel very honored. After all, in the empire, Bimax's first knight at this time is the ultimate goal of countless KF pilots like Jeremiah, who is equivalent to an idol.
There was silence all the way. Jeremiah drove the car intently. Xiao Ran had no intention of talking to Bimax, and he didn't care whether he left or not. If Bimax didn't leave, Xiao Ran wouldn't even say that he wanted to. Do something against him, but Xiao Ran probably won't let go of the two participants he brought. He will arrest them first and lock them up to test how much geass's ability can affect these trivial participants. , of course, there should be no escape from death in the end.
If you want to leave, that's okay. It just gives Xiao Ran time to develop quietly. This time doesn't need to be too long. It can be three months at most and one month at least. By then, Xiao Ran estimates that he should be able to fight with other participants. By that time, there will be no one in the entire Eleventh District who can influence Xiao Ran's plan. Even if there are participants who enter the Eleventh District, as long as they are not A-level pilots or above, Xiao Ran will still be able to do it. Take it in stride.
Among the three people in the car, Bimax also seemed very deep all the way. He didn't know what he was thinking with his eyes closed. Until the convoy arrived at the military airport, Jeremiah got out of the car and opened the door for him. After getting out of the car, Only then did Bimax look at Xiao Ran, who was also standing next to the car.
"Lelouch Knight Xiao, do you have any ideas to go further?"
Xiao Ran looked at Bimax and said, "Knight Bimax, I don't know what you mean?"
Bimax smiled: "Do you want to become a Knight of the Round Table and become the most powerful blade in the empire? I have seen the battle record submitted by Lloyd. You drove Lancelot and destroyed several kfs in an instant. And it didn’t hurt anyone in the cockpit. You can reach this level by driving a machine that is still under experiment. I think this kind of strength can be considered top-notch even among the Knights of the Round Table. In other words, at least in terms of force. You already have the qualifications to become a Knight of the Round Table."
"And your performance today also impressed me. You were calm, rational, and showed the courage to not be afraid of danger. Although I don't know what your command ability is, you can completely guess the layout and arrangements of the rebels today. For the sake of the reputation of Your Highness Euphilia, I think from all aspects you have reached the level of becoming a Knight of the Round Table. If you are willing, I am willing to recommend you to Your Majesty. As long as His Majesty allows it or passes the assessment, then You can become a Knight of the Round Table."
Speaking of this, Bimax also sighed softly: "The empire is currently in turmoil. Mysterious organizations like the Black Knights are not the only ones that have appeared in the eleventh district. There are also many groups with similar interests in other places. The powerful unknown force, now that the empire is officially employing people, is in need of people like you who have calm judgment, courage, and strong strength to serve the empire more."
Xiao Ran did not agree at the first time, but he also learned from Bimax that the empire at this time has probably become a hostile force for many participant legions. If it is targeted by multiple participant legions at the same time, then the empire will indeed It's really a headache, but I don't know how many participants are joining the empire.
After a moment of silence, he glanced at the two participants who got off the car first and then stood far away. They did not come to disturb him, but were silently paying attention to him. He said to Bimax: "Knight Bimax is too complimentary. Well, it seems to me that your two subordinates are not simple people."
"Them?" Bimax glanced at the two participants without any trace, and laughed. His expression and laughter were full of a special flavor, as if he didn't want to mention it, but He still said to Xiao Ran: "They are not real imperial soldiers, but a group of mercenaries who appeared from nowhere, a special war force."
"Most of the things about these people are confidential. I can't tell you in detail without His Majesty's permission. However, you can understand their situation as long as you become a Knight of the Round Table. Although these people are now doing their best to serve the empire, Her Highness Cornelia has sent a lot of personnel to support us, but we have also paid a lot. They are too mysterious and are never really our own people. Do you understand what I say?"
"If it weren't for the fact that they are indeed superior to ordinary people, I wouldn't have brought them here with me this time. At least with them here, I don't have to worry too much about the information on me being taken away."
"Understood." Xiao Ran nodded lightly and said with a deep voice: "Knight Bimax is so interested in me. If I refuse, it will look ungrateful. If Knight Bimax is willing to recommend me to become a Knight of the Round Table, I will certainly not object. , but there are some things I need to say clearly first."
Bimax nodded slightly: "You say."
"Even if I become a Knight of the Round Table, I hope to be able to protect Her Highness Euphilia as much as possible. If I am needed, I will do my best to serve the Empire. I know that the Imperial Army includes the Knights of the Round Table. Many of them are supported by the pure-blood faction, and His Majesty is a representative of the hard-line faction, but I am not. I have the same philosophy as Her Royal Highness Euphilia, to be kind to the people of all numbered areas, and I will not change this."
"In addition, when I became Her Royal Highness Euphilia's exclusive knight, I also said that I would not do anything I was not willing to do. Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the empire, I am also willing to step onto the battlefield, so even if I As a Knight of the Round Table, I will not do anything I am not willing to do, such as massacring civilians who have no ability to resist."
"I understand that wars occur because of the development of the country, and I am willing to fight for legitimate reasons, but I will not do any dark things, so if you, Knight Bimax, can tolerate this, Your Majesty is also willing to tolerate this and give me If you have the right to act cheaply, then I will not object to becoming a Knight of the Round Table. If that doesn’t work, please allow me to refuse.”
