Right in front of the rebel supply base, the body of the machine with the tiger's head on its chest was split into two halves, one on the left and one on the right, falling to the ground. Sparks and black smoke kept shooting out, and from time to time there would be a scene. A small explosion, and about a few kilometers away from the tiger machine that was split into two halves, there was another machine body whose shape could not be seen at all. It was also spitting out black smoke on the ground. Only that The two shield fragments shattered around the machine body seemed to illustrate the identity of this second machine body.
And Xiao Ran, just sitting calmly in the cockpit of the Soul Killer, looking at the chaotic scene in the stronghold from the screen, as well as the rows of various weapons that were evacuating into the distance and gradually disappearing from the screen. Such vehicles, KF and machines that do not belong to this world, but they control the soul slayer to stay outside the stronghold. They have never thought about entering the stronghold, and they just watch the people in this stronghold. A quick escape, a complete evacuation without even the slightest resistance.
There was no pursuit, just watching the whole process without any movement at all. There was no resistance to the people who were running away. Even the unarmed people in front of him, Xiao Ran had no interest in driving the machine to rush up and cause a massacre. , and in fact these people were not even his enemies, which also made Xiao Ran have no idea of killing the fleeing team. It was not until the fleeing team completely disappeared from his eyes that Xiao Ran put his hand on the operating lever again. , after controlling the machine body and slowly walking into the stronghold, ten minutes later, it left a sea of fire and rose into the sky again, flying back to the garrison base in District 11.
Before the Soul Killer landed, countless people in the base formed a circle and stood in the open space waiting for the Soul Killer to land. Among them, Cornelia, Luziano and Monica The three of them were also in the queue, and when Xiao Ran opened the cockpit and slowly descended on the lifting rope, suddenly the entire base was filled with deafening applause and shouts. Countless people shouted "Knights of the Round Table," Shouting the name Lelouch, he cheered Xiao Ran's return with all his enthusiasm.
Xiao Ran looked around. Because of the mask, others could not see his current expression clearly, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of all the soldiers of the Butaria Empire. Xiao Ran also saw Ke in front of the crowd at a glance. Nelia, Luciano and Monica took steps towards the direction of the three of them.
After passing by, Luziano gave Xiao Ran a thumbs up before he spoke. He no longer looked lazy, but looked excited. He looked at Xiao Ran with incredible eyes, revealing his admiration and enthusiasm. Respect.
And Monica's eyes when she looked at Xiao Ran were also full of respect at this time. Compared with the gentle look before, she looked a little more formal. She truly recognized Xiao Ran's power from the bottom of her heart and recognized Xiao Ran's first move. Even Monica was thinking about the position of the second knight of the round table. If Bimax's status was not special, then even if Xiao Ran sat in the position of the first knight of the round table, this strength alone would be enough.
Cornelia's eyes were filled with shock. Shocked by Xiao Ran's powerful strength, and even more shocked by the fact that her sister had been fished out from nowhere. Such a person actually possessed such a power that could crush everything. The terrifying power, and then the complexity, which was so complicated that not long ago, she didn't believe that Xiao Ran had such strength. Only she could clearly explain the feeling in her heart at this time.
But she knew better that after what happened today, although Lelouch would still be the second Knight of the Round Table, his status would be completely different. A person who truly possessed terrifying power and could change the entire battle situation on his own would no longer be able to change the situation. She will no longer be just a simple Knight of the Round Table, but will become the true right-hand man of the empire, the protector of the empire, and a truly super powerful person with terrible power, so that she can no longer look down on her as an equal with the same eyes as before. Instead of treating Xiao Ran, this empire's new God of War should be faced with respect.
And Xiao Ran is stronger than her, so powerful that it is impossible to fight against her. As a strong person, he will also be a person who pursues strength. And now Xiao Ran's strength is the only one she has besides Euphilia. something recognized and pursued.
"Welcome back Knight Lelouch." Taking a deep breath, Cornelia said in a deep voice: "Knight Lelouch has accomplished such feats single-handedly, which is of great help to Nineteen. Cornelia Leah will never forget."
Xiao Ran looked at Cornelia who was full of respect at this time, smiled softly and said indifferently: "I don't mean to help you. Killing the enemy and relieving the pressure on the imperial soldiers is what I, a Knight of the Round Table, should do. matter, properly let the empire know that the empire is not without powerful power. This is also the courage and ability that the Knights of the Round Table should show. Moreover, this time I am only doing a practical test on the soul slayer, not specifically to help you. Action, you don’t need to express your gratitude to me so solemnly.”
Cornelia usually looked at Xiao Ran and said seriously: "Even though you said so, Knight Lelouch, solving that supply stronghold will also make the pressure on the front line in the 19th District much less, and the 19th District has always been With me as the leader, the original three districts became one district and I was under a lot of pressure. No matter what, Lelouch Knight, your actions helped me in the end, and I will remember this favor."
Xiao Ran shook his head and stopped talking. Regardless of whether this attack was to test the actual combat performance of the soul slayer, he knew very well. As for the purpose of Charles sending him here, it may also be to reduce the pressure on Cornelia. In fact, it was something that Xiao Ran could do or not do, but in the end the real reason was just to help Cornelia for Euphilia's sake, and it was just a matter of convenience, to show off his strength to the outside world. .
Seeing Xiao Ran shaking his head, Cornelia didn't say anything more about it. She also guessed in her heart that Xiao Ran was helping him because of Euphilia's face. As for Charles, he had already Cornelia, who knew some inside information, did not think that Xiao Ran would care much about Charles' face, and this was also when Charles did not give Xiao Ran any clear orders.
After nodding towards Xiao Ran, Cornelia said: "Then I won't disturb you, Knight Lelouch, from your rest, because your victory, Knight Lelouch, has caused a great shock. If we want to maintain this advantage, we still need to do a lot of work, and we must be prepared to counterattack the counterattack organized by EU and the rebels."
"Go and do your work." Xiao Ran waved his hand gently and said naturally, "If you need to use my force, you don't have to be polite to tell me."
"Thank you." Cornelia turned around and left decisively, just as she said, because Xiao Ran's actions did bring some unexpected changes to District 19, but there were also some more things that made people feel It's a pleasant job, but trouble also exists, that is, whether the EU and the resistance organizations will launch retaliatory attacks as a result, so we need to be prepared quickly in all aspects.
Cornelia left, and Monica smiled softly at Xiao Ran, bent down slightly and followed behind, turned around and left. Luciano took this opportunity to stand in front of Xiao Ran, winked and said to Xiao Ran: "Knight Lelouch, you are amazing. What you did today is beyond my imagination. If you have time, can you teach me how to drive?"
Xiao Ran looked at Luciano and nodded slightly: "This is not a problem, but first you must change your current lazy attitude. First, focus on strengthening the familiarity and training of the basics. As long as the basics are passed, you will become stronger. It won’t be too difficult.”
"Then it's settled." Luciano scratched his head and grinned: "Hey, don't look at my usual appearance. I'm actually very powerful when I'm serious."
"Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be able to become a Knight of the Round Table. I believe this." Xiao Ran patted Luziano on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will give you some advice if I have time. I will follow you these days. Your Highness Cornelia, please be busy."
After saying that, Xiao Ran ignored Luziano and walked towards the people from the Logistics and Technology Department who had been waiting for a long time, and began to exchange the test process, data, etc., and Luziano looked at Xiao Ran's back and said He lightly clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and trotted away in the direction Cornelia left.
The next work will not only be handled by Cornelia and his men, but the two Knights of the Round Table who followed Xiao Ran will also temporarily follow Cornelia's orders to ensure that they can receive the defense points that Xiao Ran penetrated. Then as a nail and a breakthrough to counterattack outwards, of course, the basic tasks of Monica and Ruziano are only to ensure the safety of the receiving stronghold. As for the attack, they are not needed unless necessary.
Xiao Ran spent a long time with the people from the Logistics and Technology Department, and then returned the machine to the hangar. Then he relaxed and returned to his home. But before he entered his room, Xiao Ran saw a man in a suit in front of the door. Guy in blue uniform.
Seeing Xiao Ran, the man in blue uniform hurriedly walked over to Xiao Ran. He said hello and saluted in a very skilled manner, and his tone of voice was also very respectful: "Master Lelouch, I have the honor of Your Highness Cornelia." Order, I hope to invite you to attend the private celebration banquet specially prepared for you by Your Highness Cornelia in the evening. I hope to discuss something with you, Lelouch-sama."
Xiao Ran groaned: "Time."
"At six o'clock, I will come personally to greet you, Lelouch-sama."
Xiao Ran nodded: "I understand, please tell Her Highness Cornelia that I will definitely participate."
The guy in blue uniform completed his order, but he also watched Xiao Ran enter his room and closed the door before turning around and leaving. There was no trace of impatience or dissatisfaction in the whole process, and he was completely respectful and respectful. His identity and demonstrated abilities are completely worthy of this guy's attitude.
After taking a shower and resting for a while, when the time was almost up, Xiao Ran put on a clean Knight of the Round Table costume again and walked out of the room. Once again, he saw the guy in blue uniform who came to invite him before, which was also Cone. Lia's most trusted bodyguards were welcomed by the other party and headed all the way to the core area of the base, which is also where Cornelia currently lives. It has a better environment than other barracks, but compared to the normal governor It is a single-family building that is completely incomparable to a mansion.
When Xiao Ran got out of the car, he saw Cornelia in a burgundy uniform standing outside the door. After walking over, Xiao Ran also smiled slightly and said politely: "Excuse me, Cornelia, please wait outside the door. It's really cool." It kind of flatters me.”
Cornelia didn't believe Xiao Ran's words, but she said seriously: "If you are Knight Lelouch, you are fully qualified to let me wait here, please."
Xiao Ran also raised his hand slightly, and walked into the building with Cornelia, and then walked all the way forward into what was obviously a restaurant. Compared with the luxury of the restaurant in the Governor's Mansion in District 11, Cornelia said The restaurant we use can be described as simple. There is basically no excessive decoration. Everything is practical and not complicated. It has a simple dining table, chairs and carpets. Apart from some simple decorations, there are not many superfluous things at all. .
However, as a princess, and a princess who has great power, and has extremely strong combat and command capabilities, although she can only live in such a place because of the war, she does not have the enjoyment she should have. Too little, at least not as far as maids are concerned.
As Xiao Ran and Cornelia took their seats, several maids brought drinks and food to the table one after another, and then left the restaurant on their own initiative, leaving the entire restaurant completely to Cornelia and Xiao Ran.
Cornelia raised her wine glass and stood up from the chair: "No matter what I say today, Knight Lelouch, you have always helped me and relieved the pressure on the defense line in District 19. This glass represents my gratitude and thank you. You always took good care of Euphilia when you were in District 11."
Xiao Ran glanced at Cornelia, then stood up and tapped Cornelia with her wine glass, who was probably only one meter away from him: "You're welcome."
Cornelia laughed, drank the wine in the glass happily, and then raised her hand and said: "Please sit down, I invited Knight Lelouch over today because I have something to discuss with Knight Lelouch. "
"Please say."
"I wonder what Knight Lelouch thinks of the current situation in District 19, and does he have any thoughts on becoming the governor of District 1 alone?"
