I don’t know how long I waited, but Xiao Ran, who had adjusted the parameters of the machine and was sitting in the cockpit with his eyes closed and dozing, suddenly heard Cecil’s voice from below the machine: "Sir, the time is up. x."
Opening his eyes, Xiao Ran shook his neck slightly and said, "A battle must be turned into an exhibition match. After waiting for so long, the audience finally sat down?"
When Cecil heard what Xiao Ran said, he pretended not to hear it, but said: "KF can enter the martial arts arena directly from the side passage. Your Majesty and many ministers are already seated. Sir, you must be careful not to touch the seats. direction to attack."
"Understood." Xiao Ran said, started the machine and put his hands on the operating lever. He gently stepped on the pedal and controlled the machine to start walking towards the passage Cecil mentioned. After passing by for a short time, After the passage, after walking out of the opened passage door, a flat ground made of earth and stone appeared in front of Xiao Ran.
Looking around the entire site, except for a few maintenance warehouses and buildings located around the site, no other mess can be seen, making the site look quite neat and open, while one or two meters away from the site Kilometers away, there was a special building with a huge grandstand. At this time, the emperor was sitting there without regretting his life, watching every move here through remote video.
Not long after, a machine slowly slid out from the passage of a maintenance warehouse near the site. After seeing the machine, Xiao Ran raised his brows slightly, raised the corners of his mouth and muttered softly: "It's a bit interesting. "
The machine that appeared has a tall horn. The color of the machine is mainly white, and then there are red lines. The arms on both sides also have two small shields, and the two sword gates are also carried on the back. The armor and head on both sides of the cockpit look like that of a knight.
The reason why Xiao Ran showed such an expression was because the machine that appeared in front of him was clearly a recreated version of the machine that was exactly the same as the machine he was driving, except that the secondary paint color was different from the gold color of the machine he was driving now. Slott's appearance, shield and long sword are exactly the same, except that it lacks the electromagnetic rifle that Lloyd insisted Cecil brought over, and it also does not carry any long-range weapons.
"A machine with performance no less than that of Lancelot is a rebuilt version of Lancelot. This is to completely balance the performance of the machine to the same level, and then judge the outcome purely based on technology, regardless of failure or victory, Do you want to convince the other party?"
The two machines gradually approached according to the instructions, and then stopped about fifty meters apart. This was a distance that both sides could approach each other in an instant.
"Zi Zi..."
Suddenly there was a little noise in the cockpit, but it soon disappeared and was replaced by a man's voice: "Lelouch... Are you Lelouch?"
Xiao Ran was very calm: "Do you know me?"
The man laughed and said: "Haha, who in the whole Butaria doesn't know you now? Lelouch, the newly promoted Knight of the Round Table, you are very strong, but that's it. In today's battle, you It is impossible to win. If you want our machine, you have to see if you have the strength. If you can beat me, as long as it is a machine from the Scarlet Knights, you can choose any one, but you lost. , you have to promise us one thing, what do you think?"
"You have to fight to know whether you can win or not, and I don't have any thoughts of trading with you." Xiao Ran said without any emotion: "Besides, I don't have the habit of chatting with my opponents before the war starts. This is the end of the boring conversation."
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, he turned off the communication unilaterally, causing the expression on the face of the guy on the other Lancelot 2 to freeze. He gritted his teeth and then smiled. He stood up and seemed to be talking to himself: "Lelouch, is this Lelouch the same Lelouch?"
Xiao Ran didn't know what the other party was thinking now, but the fact that the other party would try to reach a deal with him before the war really surprised Xiao Ran, and judging from the tone of the man's mouth, at least the attitude shown was obviously goodwill. What's more, even though this kind of kindness seems a bit pretentious, it seems like she wants to get closer to him.
However, it is very possible that the other party wants to get closer to him because of the name Lelouch. But now Xiao Ran does not want to have too much communication with the other party. In order to prevent the identities of the participants from being leaked, for the time being, It's not a good opportunity to communicate with the other party.
Not wanting to be left alone, Emperor Charles stood up on the observation deck in the distance and began to talk again, boosting morale and winning over people's hearts. He talked about how the highest level pilots in the empire would fight. These words came out of his mouth and he babbled for several minutes. Then the battle was announced.
At the battle site, Xiao Ran unilaterally shut down the communication completely so that the other party could not say anything. He simply said nothing and used actions to express his thoughts. He directly pulled out two high-concussion weapons without even the need for long-range weapons. The long sword was pointed at the ground, and the other sword was lightly pointed at Xiao Ran's Lancelot, just like when Xiao Ran dealt with Jino.
"Two fools." Xiao Ran spit out three words gently, controlled Lancelot to quickly raise the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, pulled the trigger, and a swishing sound suddenly sounded in the battle field, using electromagnetic The bullets fired brought a series of electromagnetic waves across a distance of fifty meters in the blink of an eye. Dozens of bullets passed around the body of the recreated Lancelot without the opponent even reacting. , suddenly leaving several traces of anxiety on the body of Lancelot.
The sharp corners of the head were completely broken under this wave of attacks, while the rest of the arms, shoulders, legs, etc. only showed some marks, allowing Xiao Ran to take a brave step towards the master of strokes.
The pilot in the cockpit of the Lancelot stared. He didn't expect that the Lelouch Knight of the Round Table in front of him was so unconventional. He had already drawn out his melee weapons here, and he was still there. Then he was given a few shots without showing any dignity. How could he look like a majestic Knight of the Round Table
From the feedback picture obtained on the screen of the body system, the participant clearly knew what kind of damage his body had suffered. Except for the sharp corners on the head of the body that were more decorative than actual, the body was clearly not affected too much. But this participant would never think that Xiao Ran was really a master of strokes, because the sharp corners of his body had been broken off with the first shot, and subsequent attacks were clearly deliberately passing by the body, which was completely a kind of Provocation is clearly telling him that I have the ability to defeat you, but I don't use this method.
This participant also put away his initial entertainment mentality under Xiao Ran's provocation. It is undeniable that this participant really underestimated Xiao Ran just now. He underestimated the enemy and did not take this battle seriously. Seriously, not picking your nose in the cockpit was enough to give you face, and I didn't expect that Xiao Ran would use long-range weapons unreasonably. How far is fifty meters? For two kfs, especially for the electromagnetic weapon held by Lancelot, the distance can be reached in an instant.
At this moment, the participant was completely unprepared and careless. When facing Xiao Ran Lancelot's attack, it was good that he didn't rush around. However, he also had no possibility of reacting and making too many evasive moves. It only caused the machine body to deflect twice, but Xiao Ran's attack with Lancelot still left something on the armor of the opponent's machine body.
Xiao Ran opened fire, but the other machine did not move at all. Not only did the participant fail to react, but even the many viewers on the distant observation deck also failed to react. However, with the ultra-low speed playback of the video, Many people saw the meaning, especially the golden Lancelot on Xiao Ran's side. He put the long-range weapon in his hand behind the machine and hung it up. Then he pulled out two identical high-concussion long swords and pointed them towards his opponent. After two glances, everyone who saw this scene basically realized that Xiao Ran's attack just now was also a provocation, and warm applause burst out from the observation deck.
Giving the opponent a lesson after provoking him, then putting away his long-range weapons and taking out his melee weapons to treat him fairly. This is the style that the Empire's Knights of the Round Table should have. However, Xiao Ran's provocation in turn was considered by everyone to be a powerful Knight of the Round Table. The good intention of giving the opponent a chance, otherwise, if you have the opportunity to shoot a headshot, it will only break your foot. Now taking out a melee weapon just tells you that the competition can officially begin. This is very knightly and very... gentleman.
Xiao Ran was in a very calm mood at this time. In this situation, Xiao Ran had no intention of directly killing the opponent with long-range weapons. After all, this battle was too public, and the opponent also showed a posture of engaging in close combat. If he is really killed with a long-range weapon, it will give him a lot of bad impressions as a new Knight of the Round Table, and it will also give people the feeling of being invincible.
But if you just tease the opponent with a gun and then put it away, it is just a simple display of strength, telling the opponent that I can defeat you at any time, but I agree with your request to fight.
The participant never thought that his carelessness would lead to such a result. After reacting, he only felt red in the face. When he looked at the golden Lancelot on the screen, what he revealed was hatred. Just now If Xiao Ran hadn't deliberately held back his hand but aimed directly at the cockpit, then his precious participant's life would probably have been left in this world forever.
So for this participant, this was not just a matter of losing face, but a matter of almost losing his life. This made this participant extremely angry and resentful. He almost, almost died. In the hands of this insignificant aborigine, how could this participant accept and calm down? The fear made him feel extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, he really had the idea of killing Xiao Ran. .
After seeing the Lancelot driven by Xiao Ran pull out his melee weapon, he shouted, stepped on the pedal, controlled his body, and rushed towards Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran had already seen the opponent's thoughts as soon as he took action, but he did not choose to retreat. Instead, he controlled Lancelot and rushed towards the opponent, with a blazing momentum. , the action is direct and fierce, making it more heavy, while on the other side it is calm, the action is leisurely and ethereal and difficult to capture, and the fierce battle is about to break out.
The two machines collided together, but they immediately spun around at the same time after the collision. They chose exactly the same way to dislocate and relieve force, but the long knives of the two machines did collide with each other hard, so Sparks flew between the two machines.
Sparks flew, and the long swords split at the first touch, and then the second long sword's chops collided with each other in mid-air. It seemed that they were evenly matched.
In just a short moment, the two machines attacked and slashed twice in succession in the field, and then both bounced away and retreated at the same time. After the machine's footsteps regained stability and center of gravity after landing, they were again. The same forward thrusts collided and slashed at each other, separated again and again, and collided again and again. Not only the long knife in the hand, but also the legs became the weapons for the two machines to attack. The dazzling attack from up and down made the onlookers find it difficult to follow. On the show, both Xiao Ran and the participant brought Lancelot's normal performance to the extreme, and even exceeded it.
Bimax and the other Knights of the Round Table were also paying attention to the exchange between the two machines in the battle field at this time. The expressions on their faces were also serious and solemn. Although they already knew that Xiao Ran was very strong and should not be inferior to him, However, the hard power and various details displayed by the two machines when they collided again and again in the battle field also made Bimax, the first knight of the empire, see more things.
Seeing this, he was also frightened. He put himself in the same position and thought about what he would do. But no matter how he looked at it, in Bimax's view, the operations of Xiao Ran and the other person were simply impeccable, whether it was offensive or There was no gap at all in defense. The distance between the two never exceeded ten meters, and they were always circling around those ten meters. However, the rhythm of attack and defense did not slow down at all. The details were so exquisite that it was terrifying. , if it were Bimax, he was not sure that he could perform such an operation and maintain the exact same level for a long time in front of another evenly matched enemy.
