From the mouths of these three participants, Xiao Ran got a general understanding of the situation of this legion mission. For these legions who have entered this world, this mission is not a simple head-on battle between legions, but a battle in Lulu. A strategic mission in a low-level world like Xiu requires development and strategy. The legion that can obtain more cherry stones will also gain more advantages in the mission.
Using Sakura Stone as the measure of material development for this mission is because the world level of this mission is too low, and it is also the real difficulty of this mission. Without Sakura Stone, the body cannot be unsealed, and without Sakura Stone, it will be unsealed. The machine cannot be used, and the Sakura Stone is everything. The legion that can unlock the machine the fastest and obtain enough Sakura Stone to support combat will develop faster and faster, one step at a time.
However, there are ten legions in this mission, so even if one legion really takes the lead, it may not be the final winner, because the legions behind can form an alliance. As long as a suitable alliance contract is signed, two or even three The four legions unite together and use the resources they jointly control to launch several high-level pilots. The legion that can also defeat the top one will win together. Because of this, the development between these ten legions and relationships will become more complex.
In the early days of the mission, that is, now, because each legion did not have enough resources, there was no way to come up with high-level machines. As a result, the real leading force in this world will still be the current aboriginal force. Even if the strength of these aboriginal people is too weak, they cannot withstand their huge numbers and all kinds of weapons. If they really want to fight, the participants will fall into trouble.
This also explains Xiao Ran's confusion when he knew that there were participants, but he only piloted low-level machines to fight, because the current legions simply did not have enough resources to unblock high-level machines, and could only unblock these low-level machines with low consumption. of the machine, obtain more rights and support from the forces that you have joined as soon as possible, so as to unblock the high-level machine as soon as possible and then finalize the decision, and finally achieve the situation of using the power now and then controlling the power. In this way, this The entire world will be completely plunged into the most terrifying war.
The first stage of the mission requires each legion to obtain a territory. From this point of view, there are various possibilities. Will the subsequent missions require tasks such as developing territory, or establishing a base in the territory and losing the base? As for failed missions, these are entirely possible. However, if a legion wants to win the final victory, how the forces it has joined will be strengthened will be the most important scoring condition. Various situations are comparable to pure melee missions. It would be a lot of trouble, but what is known is that each legion currently needs time and resources to develop, so they dare not blindly start a full-scale war and let others take advantage of them.
It is for this reason that the ten legions have also fallen into a strange balance. No legion dares to blindly break this balance and force other legions to unite to deal with them together. This also leads to the eleventh district, which has the most cherry blossoms in the world. Where the amount of stone is being mined, no legion dares to reach out in a big way, but Xiao Ran is sure that the participants in District 11 at this time are definitely more than just the three in front of him. No matter which legion it is, they will send out certain personnel. Sneak into District 11 and monitor every move of other legions, so that you can respond as soon as something unexpected happens in District 11.
Not only District 11, but maybe even him, Euphilia, Zero, and the Black Knights should have entered the attention of various legions at this time. Maybe the knight role played by Xiao Ran now will also be affected by these. The legion is regarded as the most important boss guarding District 11, a boss that must be defeated, and the Black Knights may become the main assisting force in the eyes of these legions that can defeat the boss.
Or on the other hand, it is believed that Xiao Ran can cooperate to become another early stage of their legion's powerful combat force. As long as they win over Xiao Ran and Euphilia, it will be equivalent to indirectly controlling the eleventh area. The Black Knights will become a threat, but no matter it is In either case, more participants will appear in District 11, either choosing to unite with the Black Knights or choosing to side with Xiao Ran.
Just in terms of the division of forces, after all, District 11 belongs to the empire. There should be very few legions who would choose Xiao Ran. If they really choose Xiao Ran's non-imperial power legion, they must be a leader with long-term vision and ability. The legion he leads, because this legion will definitely try to separate District 11 from the empire, can not only strengthen itself, but also weaken the empire and the legions of participants who join the empire, but under normal circumstances, they will choose the Black Knights who have nothing to do with the empire. There will be more, but the Blood Knight Legion who joined the empire chose the third way, preparing to control Xiao Ran and Euphilia by force. It can only be said that this kind of confidence is too blind. Xiao Ran dared Guaranteed, he will lose if he can't trick this Scarlet Knights to death.
After asking some questions, Xiao Ran took one of them out of the truck. For these three participants, it was okay to use geass to control them to do things or answer questions. After all, they did not have the ability to resist geass, they just wanted to start from the geass. They know the entire situation of their legion, and there is nothing they can do about keeping secrets. These are things that even with the geass ability, they cannot do it.
If it were Lelouch who asked them who they were, there would be more questions. These three participants would only answer blankly and dullly about the identities assigned to them by Prometheus, and would never say that they were participants, as if Somehow, Prometheus is also restricting these three participants who have lost themselves from revealing any information about Prometheus to the outside world.
When Lelouch saw Xiao Ran walking out with someone, he also asked, "Have you finished asking what you want to ask?"
"Almost, I can't ask anything else." Xiao Ran nodded and said: "Your geass ability can only be used once on the target, but as long as the power of geass is eliminated, you can use it on the same target again. I Clear the geass ability from this guy's head, and you are using the ability on him once to order him to kill anyone in the car."
Lelouch frowned slightly: "What's the point of doing this? Didn't you just say that you sent a bullet and wanted them to die whenever they want? Why are you doing such unnecessary things now?"
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said: "These people are a little special. They couldn't answer many of the questions I asked just now. It's not because they know it but because of some restrictions that we don't know. It's like they have been ingrained with a core command that cannot be betrayed. , the priority is greater than your king's order. You should also be very clear that your geass ability cannot make others do things they cannot do. The result is that they did not reveal the confidential information of the legion behind them at all, so I want to see Let’s see if they can do a betrayal like killing their own companions under your order.”
"If it can, it means that your order can at least control their bodies. In other words, the betrayal of killing their companions will not be subjectively counted on them, and it is not an act of betrayal for them. , it just becomes a tool under your control. You will be safer when dealing with these people in the future, and you will be able to do more things with these people, and if you can't..."
Lelouch nodded thoughtfully: "Then if you don't have the power to fight back, you can only use the only chance of geass to give other orders, and then deal with them personally."
Having said this, Lelouch glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "Try."
Xiao Ran put his hand on the head of the guy who was brought out, and his whole body lit up with a green light that made Le Lu Xiu a little stunned. The guy's head just disappeared in a few seconds, and Xiao Ran also turned towards Lu Lu Xiu. Lu Xiu nodded.
The ability of geass was eliminated, and as soon as the participant woke up, he once again saw an eye flashing with the red bird rune, and then the next second he knew nothing.
"Go kill whoever's in the car."
The participant who was controlled by the king's order fell to the ground, with a slightly struggling expression on his face, but the red light in his eyes did not recede because of this. His eyes were still full of numbness and madness after being controlled. He stood up, swayed twice, and crawled towards the car with shuffling steps. His trembling hands directly pinched one of the two participants in the car. He squeezed and pulled hard with his claws. The person he grabbed The participant's neck simply tilted and he stopped breathing.
"Interesting, it only restricts the mental level? The behavior cannot be controlled? It only stops what you shouldn't say, but doesn't stop what you shouldn't do? Isn't that the same as being blocked while being controlled by geass? About Confidential information about Prometheus and the legion? In essence, you still have to obey the king's orders?" Xiao Ran turned to look at Lelouch and thought to himself: "You also said that such a situation would occur because of him. ? In this world, are you the only force that resists participants? Or is it that geass power is the only chance for resistance participants? "
Lelouch glanced at Xiao Ran: "It seems that they can't completely resist my order, but this order also made him struggle. As you said, there may be some kind of limit. If the mental power is higher, , will probably ignore my orders and then wake up quickly. The only way to be on the safe side is to give other orders and then kill them quickly."
"Just pay attention to yourself." Xiao Ran nodded and said: "The goal of these people is undoubtedly District 11. They need a huge amount of cherry stones to develop themselves. There should be more people targeting me in the future. and Euphilia, and maybe it will also affect Nunnally.”
Lelouch hesitated, but did not speak but waited for Xiao Ran to continue.
"But similarly, as Zero who resists the imperial power in District 11, he will definitely be on their radar and will definitely look for you. In the end, there are two outcomes. First, someone is willing to join the Black Knights; I used the Black Knights to seize control of District 11 to obtain more cherry stones, and there are also people who join me to deal with the Black Knights for the same reason."
"The second possibility is that they don't choose to join, but choose to control, but the goal will still be the same, which is to obtain more cherry stones. They can't control me, but it won't be that easy to control you. You The geass ability is enough to counterattack, and it is more likely that we and them will compete with each other to see who can fool whom. Our advantage is that they do not know that we are actually in the same group."
"So if there are really people like this joining us, we can completely consume their power in harmony. They are not using us, but we are using them, so that they can steal chickens but not lose rice. But there must be sincerity. Those who join the Black Knights can really absorb them."
Lelouch nodded slowly: "If this is the case, there may be a way to connect us, and we must ensure that my true identity will not be leaked."
Xiao Ran reached out and threw a personal communicator to Lelouch: "I will use this communication in the future. If it is you, I don't think I need to teach you how to use it. In addition, I still need to build the factory as soon as possible, and hold the power in my own hands. That’s the real power.”
"Don't worry." Lelouch took the communicator and put it on his body, and said: "The factory matters have been finalized. I have made arrangements in Osaka. We can start as soon as the materials are in place. However, there are still many personnel. I’m collecting it, so it may take some time.”
"I will also help you look for it." Xiao Ran pondered and said, "As for the supplies, I will also try to provide you with a batch as soon as possible."
Lelouch looked at the two fools and the foursome in the car, waved his hand gently to Xiao Ran and turned around to leave: "I'll leave first. Nunnally is safer with you, so I'll leave it to you. Continue to take care of you.”
Xiao Ran nodded and watched Lelouch leave. He glanced at the two people behind him and used it again to knock out the two people who were still alive. He went in to check and found that the guy who was strangled to death happened to be the surveillance one. Looking at the guy from the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Ran got into the cab again after thinking for a while and sent the two guys back to the special dispatch.
These two guys were all geassed and ordered to forget everything that happened today. In this way, if you send them back, you don't have to worry too much about what happened today because of it, but even if it was exposed, Xiao Ran wouldn't feel it. If it has anything to do with it, it just knocks the mountain to shock the tiger, and shocks the empire's bloody knights.
