And this is only the first half of the plan. As for the second half, Xiao Ran doesn't know whether he has the time to continue, but he is not willing to stay in District 19 for too long, so he must hurry up. After completing this tour and controlling the governors and military commanders of each border area, and quickly ousting Charles, who had always been ill-intentioned towards him and the Scarlet Knights, he would have to do this by then. It is much more appropriate to do a good job than now, because solving these problems at that time can be regarded as truly solving it for oneself, and before the emperor is replaced, the empire experiencing some failures can also greatly damage the prestige of some people. Lu Xiu, Nunnally, or Euphilia regained these lost places after they came to power. Isn't this an excellent opportunity to gain fame and reputation
The second half of the plan is extremely simple to say, but it requires a strong enough combat team to do it, and it requires very strong intelligence support. That is to stay behind to carry out sabotage behind enemy lines, and to move around to destroy without any purpose. Local military facilities, so that the combat power of the 19th District lies in the front line, putting greater pressure on the EU side, which will naturally put the EU side into trouble, and will also make it difficult for the participants of the two legions to travel back and forth.
It just requires strong enough support. That can only be achieved by letting Xiao Ran join this team, and it is best to let a powerful participant like Ke Ji join in. Without Xiao Ran, even Ke Ji alone may not be able to do it. It is not enough to support such a team. This is a plan that only the strong can formulate and execute. Therefore, even if Cornelia is told, she does not have the strength to execute it. The most she can do is to change the plan and send out special agents to carry out sabotage behind enemy lines. , but this kind of work should have always been carried out. Looking at the current situation in the 19th District, we know that this kind of action has not had much effect at all.
After leaving the command center, Xiao Ran did not go back to where he lived but went to the warehouse where the Soul Slayer was parked. No matter when, since he got the Soul Slayer, wherever the Soul Slayer is there will always be surrounded by a lot of people. Even if they leave the capital and come to the 19th District, there are still a group of people. The technical personnel of the soul slayer have been carrying out various tasks on the soul slayer. At the same time, there are also special guards responsible for killing the soul slayer. Security work while the Soul One is at the base.
Xiao Ran walked around the hangar where the Soul Slayer was parked. At a height of nearly fifty meters, it was impossible to park the machine in a standing position. He still used a carrier vehicle to enter and exit. When he wanted to use it, he had to use a carrier. It's quite troublesome to get the car out and get up on your own.
After entering the warehouse, Xiao Ran said hello to the person in charge of the logistics department and sat directly in the cockpit of the aircraft. He then turned on the aircraft system, took off his mask, and linked the interface between the mask and the aircraft system. , logged into the aircraft the regional map and combat instructions just obtained from the command center, and sat alone in the cockpit of the aircraft to start studying.
Although he did write down a lot of combat instruction maps in the short period of time just now, he didn't have much time for Xiao Ran to analyze the situation on this map in detail. After recording it, he now has more time to work slowly. Analyze, analyze the weaknesses of the three parties including the emperor, and select the weakest areas in the defense line one by one.
In the end, it took nearly half an hour for Xiao Ran to mark several circles on the map with his simple analysis. Whether it was the empire, the enemy, ue, or the resistance organization, all the strongholds marked on the map were marked by Xiao Ran. Frame selected.
After looking back and forth at these points for a while, he slowly closed his eyes and radiated his mental power and telekinesis. Starting from the cockpit, he carefully scanned the soul slayer bit by bit, confirming the results of the previous day. No one inside had tampered with the Soul Killer, or installed anything superfluous on the machine, and this was what Xiao Ran had to do every time he boarded the Soul Killer's cockpit.
Although he is now a Knight of the Round Table in name, and this machine also belongs to him in name, the person who actually maintains this machine is not him, let alone anyone in his Burning Legion. How could Xiao Ran do that? We really don't have to worry about these people sent by Charles, it is inevitable to check.
After the inspection was completed, Xiao Ran opened the external communication. After the people from the Logistics and Technology Department gave a reply that the communication was connected, Xiao Ran said directly: "Start preparations immediately to conduct final inspections of the body, message transmission, and communication. The actual combat test will begin in an hour.”
"Understood." Xiao Ran's voice was a little excited. He had been familiar with and tested the Soul Slayer for a long time. After arriving in the 19th District, he was silent for two days. Now he was finally able to carry out the tasks that these technicians had been doing. Everyone wants to conduct a practical test, so how can they not be excited
After Xiao Ran's instructions, more people gathered outside the Soul Killer within ten minutes. Xiao Ran also jumped out of the cockpit and stood next to the head of the logistics and technical department, holding a document board in his hand. While flipping through the above content, he listened to the test requirements put forward by the technical person in charge. As for where Xiao Ran wanted to drive the Soul Slayer, it was not the responsibility of these technicians.
After saying a lot of things to pay attention to, the technical leader closed his mouth and nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Xiao Ran: "These are the purpose and requirements of the test, but in the end it still has to be based on the actual combat conditions. The most important thing is to come back safely, so be careful, Knight Lelouch."
Xiao Ran nodded and smiled slightly: "I will try my best to complete all these test projects."
After taking out the things in his hands, Xiao Ran returned to the cockpit and slowly closed the cockpit cover, waiting for the huge carrier to take the Soul Slayer out of the hangar.
Just when Xiao Ran started to prepare, Cornelia in the command center received the news through her subordinates that Xiao Ran was going to conduct a practical test on the soul slayer. She immediately frowned and looked dissatisfied. , but did not stop Xiao Ran's 'private' action. Instead, he walked to the middle of the steps and switched the big screen in front to a fixed-angle picture of the Soul Slayer being gradually dragged out of the hangar.
From the picture, Cornelia could clearly see the huge body of the Soul Slayer being transported out of the hangar and moved to the open space in front of the base under the slow movement of a heavy-duty truck, and then the Soul Slayer was After the position of the hunter's eyes and many parts of the body shone with a faint light, the body of the soul slayer slowly sat up, and then stretched out his legs to stand on the ground.
Monica and Luziano, who had not left the command center, also stood next to Cornelia, also looking at the picture on the big screen, but compared to Cornelia, their His expression seemed much more relaxed.
At this moment, an i near Cornelia turned his head to look in Cornelia's direction and reported loudly: "Your Highness Cornelia, Lelouch Knight of the Round Table Soul Slayer has requested an attack, will you?" Give Lelouch Knight permission to attack."
Cornelia's brows were furrowed, and she glanced left and right at the two Knights of the Round Table beside her, and asked in a deep voice: "How much do you know about this Knight Lelouch and this Soul Slayer?"
Monica tilted her head slightly, and Luciano touched his nose and said: "It's very strong, both human and machine. Although I haven't seen Lelouch Knight in real combat, but in In the previous test battles, the strength and performance displayed by Lelouch Knight and Soul Slayer were beyond my reach. There is no suitable opportunity for Lelouch Knight to conduct a real combat test in the capital. I'm afraid Knight Lelouch must have been eager to come to this place this time."
Cornelia seemed to be saying to herself: "Out of reach?"
"Yes, far behind." Luciano smiled helplessly and said: "Although as a Knight of the Round Table, I am not willing to admit that I am inferior to him, but my strength does not allow it. Based on what Knight Lelouch has shown before, In terms of strength, I am not as good as him in many places. I really don’t know how terrifying Lelouch Knight would be at full strength on a real battlefield. In the battle at that time, the Lance driven by Lelouch Knight Lot, but he easily defeated the deputy leader of the Scarlet Knights with speed and maneuvers that I couldn't even react to. If I don't want to admit that I'm not as good as him, I'm just deceiving myself."
"Monica, what do you think?" Cornelia looked at Monica who tilted her head slightly, and after thinking for a moment, Monica nodded firmly and said, "Knight Lelouch is really awesome. It’s very strong.”
"I understand." Cornelia took a deep breath and looked at i who just reported: "Did he say the goal of the actual combat test?"
i shook his head: "No, I'm just applying for permission to attack."
"Forget it." Cornelia shook her head and waved her hands indifferently: "Since he wants to attack, let him attack. And as a Knight of the Round Table, I am not qualified to restrict the other party's activities."
"learn."
Cornelia once again focused her gaze on the big screen and added: "Now mobilize all available resources and keep a close eye on this Soul Slayer. I want to know after this machine leaves the base. Every move.”
"clear."
Narrowing her eyes, Cornelia thought in her mind: "Lelouch? Lelouch! Is such a name a coincidence or deliberate? You said that you are strong enough to take down the resistance organization without anyone's help." Base camp, I want to see if you really have such strength. If your strength is really that strong, then it doesn’t matter if you carry out the operation according to your ideas. As long as you can be sure that your strength can indeed It will bring a huge advantage to the empire on this battlefield. Even if I give up the position of governor of the 19th District, I will definitely keep you here."
Xiao Ran didn't know Cornelia's inner one-man show, let alone the conversation between Cornelia, Luciano, and Monica. After getting the answer from the command center in the cockpit that the attack was allowed, his right hand He flipped several switches in succession, held the operating lever with both hands and shook it gently a few times. He slowly began to step down on the tower with his feet. As he raised his left hand, he moved the auxiliary operating lever forward. Push it to the end, step down lightly with both feet, and control the body to slowly float up. Then all the propellers explode with huge heat energy and power, causing the soul slayer to rush directly into the sky like a sharp arrow, and soon It quickly disappeared from the eyes of many people in the base who were paying attention to this machine.
Xiao Ran had already determined the target for the actual combat test before setting off. After ascending into the sky, he turned around without any cover and started heading towards the chosen target at full speed. The aircraft had the ability to fly and emphasized flexibility. He naturally has certain attainments in terms of speed. Compared with the speed of fighter planes in this world, they are only faster. It didn't take long to fly a long distance, but they were far away from the front line of District 19. There is still quite a long distance to go.
Along the way, Xiao Ran's flight path was also marked on the screens of the Logistics Technology Department and the base command center. This way of flying in a straight line without changing direction at all made it easy for the rear The people calculated Xiao Ran's goal.
At first, everyone thought that Xiao Ran's attack target was the defense position in the area controlled by the resistance organization, but tens of seconds later, everyone saw the Soul Slayer moving back and forth on the defense position for a short while, and then directly crossed the defense line and broke through. Arriving deeper behind the defensive line.
This situation immediately stunned the people in the command center. They hurriedly began to calculate Xiao Ran's real target. In less than thirty seconds, they calculated again and deduced that the second takeover was a supply behind the defense line. The stronghold is only more than fifty kilometers away from the frontline battleground. It can be said that it is not far from the frontline, but not too close.
Cornelia couldn't help but take a breath after her subordinates guessed and calculated Xiao Ran's target. She couldn't control her emotions and stared at the big screen in front of her in astonishment, murmuring. Said: "What on earth is he going to do?"
Of course, Cornelia knew about that stronghold. She knew that the supply stronghold was the most important stronghold of the resistance in that area. It was responsible for all military supply tasks in the surrounding area. It was heavily guarded. Where could one person piloting a machine take it? The next place.
