Xiao Ran reminded Luziano and Monica that this was just a normal situation. Logically speaking, such a long-distance transfer and transportation work is likely to be intercepted or attacked by hostile forces. Of course, although the entire journey Basically, they are all carried out within the current sphere of influence of Butaria, but it does not mean that there is no possibility of being attacked. Moreover, this world is not like the original world, with so many people participating in doing things regardless of the cost and without considering the consequences. Anyway, anything can happen.
Reminding these two people, I also hope that if they are really attacked, they can get on their own bodies as soon as possible to protect themselves. As for the others, Xiao Ran can only say that he will do his best and will do his best when he really encounters the situation. Ensure their lives as much as possible.
The next conversation was basically Xiao Ran asking Luziano and Monica about the specific process of the next action. Xiao Ran didn't know what the arrangement of this mission was at all. No one had told him. He, he didn't ask anyone, even if the destination of today's departure was just learned from the two of them, this point would make people feel very strange no matter how you look at Xiao Ran, who is the commander of this team's operation. .
So after knowing that Xiao Ran didn't know the next direction at all, Luziano and Monica also showed expressions of surprise and confusion, but soon Monica, who looked gentle, seemed to understand something. , suddenly realized and said to Xiao Ran: "We were notified that Knight Lelouch you will be responsible for all arrangements for the mission, but we only know that the first destination will be the 19th District where Her Highness Cornelia is, and the details after that You will be responsible for the arrangements, but I didn’t expect that you don’t even know this. Could this be intentional by His Majesty, just to test your ability, Knight Lelouch?”
Xiao Ran thought about it but didn't say anything, but he didn't know what Charles was thinking. It was not impossible that Charles deliberately wanted to see Xiao Ran's ability and let Xiao Ran make decisions based on the situation in each region. Determining the content of the action. In short, the big goal and direction have been confirmed. How to complete it is indeed a bit of a test for him, but it did not tell him anything. Where is the first destination and what to do when going to the 19th District. He didn't even tell him. Xiao Ran wondered if Bimax had forgotten to tell him.
As for the Nineteenth District, this place should be the area where the Scarlet Knights have the least influence among the border districts. After all, the people who sit here have extremely high prestige and many supporters in the imperial side. That area The area was basically conquered by her. As a member of the royal family and a candidate for the throne, the Scarlet Knights could not have more influence than Cornelia no matter how powerful they were.
The next mission will start from this place, which has a bit of meaning from easy to difficult. As for other things, Xiao Ran is not willing to bother to think about it, but there is a person like Cornelia in the nineteenth century. District, if Xiao Ran wanted to control District 19, it would be both troublesome and easy.
The simple thing is that as long as you control Cornelia, you have control of the Nineteenth District. Once Lelouch or Nunnally ascends to the throne, as long as you get Cornelia's support, you will have the entire Nineteenth District. support, and now District 19 has merged with the other two numbers due to the war and became a super district.
The trouble is that except for Cornelia, controlling other people cannot affect the 19th District at all, because Xiao Ran cannot make any move against Cornelia openly.
The departure time did not make the villain wait too long. Not long after, someone came over to report to the three respected Knights of the Round Table that it was ready to go. Xiao Ran did not waste time and gave the order to set off.
Luziano and Monica boarded the same carrier plane together. After receiving Xiao Ran's reminder, they did not take a more comfortable plane, but boarded a carrier plane specially designed to carry two people. On the aircraft, you are prepared to enter the cockpit of your own body as soon as possible if any situation arises.
As for Xiao Ran, he also did not get on the more comfortable transport plane dedicated to transporting people. Instead, he got into the cockpit of the Soul Slayer. After all the planes took off, he also controlled the Soul Slayer's rapid flight. Lifted into the air and followed the aircraft formation.
This is not because Xiao Ran is not worried about the safety of this fleet, but because of the size of the Soul Killer, it is difficult to fit into any cabin that flies in. It cannot be dismantled at a height of more than forty meters. It is definitely a troublesome thing to transport under the circumstances, but the Soul Slayer itself has the ability to fly, and its speed is not slow. By following the fleet, it can protect this important fleet.
In addition to the soul slayer driven by Xiao Ran, there are also a dozen ordinary fighter planes as escorts to protect these fighters. They will escort the entire team safely to the designated place, and after supplying in the 19th District Return to the capital again.
The journey was uneventful. Except for Xiao Ran's manual operation shortly after taking off, he changed the operation of the aircraft to automatic control during the entire journey. There were no accidents or confusion, and Xiao Ran was not given any equipment again. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the fleet landed safely at the military airport in the 19th District. Compared with the calmness in the capital, Xiao Ran noticed the tense atmosphere in the 19th District before landing.
Before the fleet approached its destination, dozens of fighter planes had already approached the fleet far away from the target. They were not intercepting but escorting. When they approached the airport, Xiao Ran could clearly see the bottom through the screen of the aircraft. The tightly guarded airport, the troops coming and going, the patrolling kfs, the tanks, forts and positions displayed outside the airport.
After parking the aircraft at the airport, Xiao Ran did not leave the aircraft immediately. Instead, he waited for all the aircraft in the fleet to land before locking the aircraft and opening the cockpit door and stepping on the lift rope. He landed on the ground, feeling the strong wind on the ground, and saw a woman with long purple hair from a distance, wearing a white bottom, burgundy chest protector, gloves and high-heeled boots, wearing a white cloak and facing the strong wind. Walking slowly in his own direction.
Xiao Ran recognized this woman at the first sight. Although he had never met this woman before, Xiao Ran recognized her at a glance because of her somewhat similar face to Euphilia. Someone comes.
When the other party came over, Xiao Ran also paused and then walked towards the other party. Xiao Ran had not had any contact with Cornelia, but he generally knew what kind of person Cornelia was. She was strong and strong. Arrogant, even a little egotistical, and Xiao Ran didn't know what kind of attitude his appearance would make Cornelia treat him. Looking at the serious face on the other party's face, it didn't look friendly or welcoming. look like.
After gradually approaching, Xiao Ran and Cornelia stopped at the same time. Cornelia made no secret of her sizing and observation of Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran's mask also made Cornelia unable to see From Xiao Ran's eyes, he could also feel from Xiao Ran's subtle movements and the unique keen sense of a woman that Xiao Ran was also looking at and observing him.
The first meeting between the two started in this atmosphere. They looked at each other silently without saying a word. The atmosphere seemed more serious, not polite, not friendly, and on the contrary, there was a little resistance.
Xiao Ran just looked at Cornelia briefly, then stretched out his hand to caress her chest and bent down slightly. His attitude could only be described as normal and he did not show too much respect: "Good day, Your Highness Cornelia. "
Seeing Xiao Ran suddenly salute, Cornelia also took a deep breath and also saluted Xiao Ran with a breast care. In terms of status, as the princess of the royal family, she still had actual rights and had her own military. Cornelia's identity and status in the armed forces are absolutely very high. Even Euphilia, who is now the governor, cannot compare with Cornelia.
But even Cornelia like this must return the salute to show respect when facing Xiao Ran. That is because the status of the Knights of the Round Table is also not low. They are the most direct spokesperson for the rights of Emperor Charles. The most typical one is of course Bimax, and Xiao Ran cannot be compared with Bimax in the empire, but the Knights of the Round Table are the Knights of the Round Table. No matter what, Cornelia must show considerable respect to Xiao Ran, the Knight of the Round Table. Especially the knight who has completely proven his strength.
Standing up straight again, Cornelia also nodded lightly to Xiao Ran: "Welcome Knight Lelouch to come to the 19th District. I have already made people ready to receive the wind. We just arrived in the 19th District. Lulu Knight Xiu is probably not used to the environment here, so he might as well relax at the banquet prepared by Jie Feng and rest for two days."
"Since it is Her Highness Cornelia's request, I will not refuse it." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said: "And I don't know much about the situation in the 19th District, and it is really not convenient for me to be too abrupt. In the past two days, I hope that Her Majesty Cornelia can send me someone who is familiar with the environment in District 19, so that I can get familiar with the situation in District 19."
Cornelia nodded in agreement without refusing, and this was what Cornelia should have meant. Cornelia was a person who had a lot of control, at least before going through the changes that she was supposed to experience. , Cornelia is a high-ranking ruler.
In this 19th District, as the highest commander, when the situation was not good, she was even more unwilling to have the Knights of the Round Table who arrived inexplicably like Xiao Ran to be too abrupt and do some messy things. Of course, Xiao Ran came here this time. Cornelia is also clear about the purpose of District 9 heading to other areas, which is to suppress the Scarlet Knights.
And today's District 19 can barely maintain its current situation without the help provided by the Scarlet Knights on the battlefield. Moreover, getting along and cooperating with the Scarlet Knights can be considered pleasant without too many problems. Conet Of course, Lia was not willing to take the risk of District 19 becoming more chaotic and let Xiao Ran, who had no understanding of the situation in District 19, act blindly.
Xiao Ran also clearly understood this, so when Cornelia suggested not to rush to rest for two days, Xiao Ran took the initiative to ask for details about the situation in the 19th District, and gave Cornelia Leah's large buffer time can let Xiao Ran clearly understand the importance of the Scarlet Knights to District 19, and can also show Xiao Ran that she is the only master in District 19, and there is no need to suppress the Scarlet Knights. the meaning of.
"Of course this is the best." Cornelia looked at the soul slayer behind Xiao, nodded slightly and said: "This machine is the one provided by the Scarlet Knights. Although the Scarlet Knights are under ten District 9 has come up with many new models, but this is the first time I’ve seen one like this.”
Xiao Ran turned aside and looked at Soul Slayer and said: "Yes, this machine called Soul Slayer is provided by the Scarlet Knights. It is indeed a machine with powerful power. If possible, Can you ask Your Highness Cornelia to give me all the detailed information about the Scarlet Knights? Of course, Your Highness, you can rest assured that although my mission is to suppress the Scarlet Knights, Your Majesty also specifically reminded me to master it. If the people in District 19 of the Scarlet Knights are sensible, I will naturally not do unnecessary things."
Cornelia glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "I believe Knight Lelouch certainly knows what to do. I will send someone to deliver the collected information about the Scarlet Knights to you."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded. His smile was very polite and distant, and he did not hide it. Of course, Cornelia also did not hide her alienation and her unwillingness to cause trouble for Xiao Ran.
After a moment of silence, Cornelia suddenly asked: "How long has it been since Knight Lelouch went back to District 11?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Cornelia: "It's been a while, but I basically contact District 11 every day, and I often communicate with Her Highness Euphilia."
"Is that so?" Cornelia nodded gently: "Is Euphilia okay? I haven't contacted her for a long time."
Xiao Ran said: "Of course, District 11 is now completely under the control of Her Highness Euphilia. All officials are sincerely working for Her Highness Euphilia, and there are many loyal and brave people around to assist. Normally, in fact, There are not many things that really require Her Royal Highness Euphilia to worry about. She only needs to control the general direction of District 11 and the development plans of various departments. Every day is better than being on the front line and never knowing when a battle will break out. Your Highness Cornelia is much happier.”
