Xiao Ran's series of orders were quickly transmitted through the entire headquarters. Speaking of Xiao Ran's instructions and arrangements this time, there was not much cleverness in them. This arm of the other party is of course together with those in-depth participants.
The opponent's lone force's deep penetration was also very deliberate. The main purpose was to test whether Xiao Ran was still in the 19th district. Taking down the Butalia Army's headquarters was secondary and incidental. Generally speaking, the participants were confident about their own strength. The extremely confident guy took over the command post after confirming that Xiao Ran was not there. He didn't worry about any traps Butalia would set for them. After all, when the strength reached a certain level, they could completely ignore those traps.
And once Xiao Ran appears, they can choose to retreat if the siege fails. As for the cutoff of their retreat, it will not hinder the evacuation of the participants. As for the other possibility, the possibility of everyone being killed by Xiao Ran, confident How could the participants think that such a situation would happen? Besides, they didn't have no cards.
What Xiao Ran caught was the arrogant idea of these participants, which was to completely cut off the hand that reached out. To achieve this goal, of course, it also required the use of powerful force. He was the one who faced it head-on, and from then on The ones on the side and completely cutting off the enemy's retreat will be the Scarlet Knights.
This time Xiao Ran will also pilot the Demon God Caesar to fight, because it is not the time for the machine that does not even have an official name to officially debut, because once that machine appears, it means that the Black Knights have begun to intervene in this war, and what is ultimately needed There is only one goal to achieve, to stop this war.
If you want to achieve the effect of another grand appearance of the Black Knights, and quickly spread the influence of the Black Knights, then in Xiao Ran's opinion, the first appearance on this continent must achieve the best effect. The war on this continent was stopped once and for all, but it was definitely not like the current situation where the area occupied by District 19 was split into two halves by EU.
Therefore, the best time is to cut off this hand that has penetrated into the 19th District, and let Butaria and EU stalemate under normal conditions again.
After making all the arrangements, Xiao Ran turned to look at Cornelia: "It is estimated that all preparations will be completed within six hours at the earliest. Considering the need to hide the movements as much as possible, the slowdown is slowed down to ten It's actually acceptable to complete it in two hours, but you don't have to worry about this, as long as each unit arrives at the scheduled combat position before dawn."
Just as Cornelia nodded, Xiao Ran said again: "The time now is midnight, and it will be completely dawn in five or six hours. The EU should also continue to attack after dawn. There is no possibility for ordinary troops to resist them. , let the troops on the existing defense line begin to evacuate now, and continue to evacuate to a place a hundred kilometers away to regroup. After all, there is no point in them staying there."
Cornelia's brows frowned slightly: "But this is inconsistent with our previous behavior. Such an inexplicable retreat will definitely make the other party aware that we have a plan. I'm worried that the enemy will be prepared."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Ran said calmly: "The withdrawal of the defensive troops is not to delay time, nor to create suspicion. It is just to avoid our actions being discovered and causing the other party to use force to defeat the plot and cause unnecessary losses. As long as we have The other party will definitely have a way to know what we are doing. It is impossible for any large-scale combat operation to be completely hidden from the local area, so as I said before, we don’t need to worry about our actions being discovered. Once the other party has Then I will appear in front of them and intercept their most powerful power."
"The next things here will be left to you to handle. If anything happens, I will contact you directly through communication. You only need to follow my instructions and issue the corresponding orders."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he nodded to Cornelia and was about to turn around and leave. Cornelia was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Ran's back turned and stepped forward, and then quickly said: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Ran said without looking back: "Of course you are going to receive my body. From now on, the command headquarters will be closed and no one is allowed to leave."
At this time, Demon God Caesar did not stay in this stronghold due to Xiao Ran's previous strategy, so if he wanted to drive Demon God Caesar to attack and give the enemy a sudden blow, it would naturally be impossible to receive the machine in this crowded stronghold.
After leaving the headquarters, Xiao Ran left the base without much delay and drove the car towards the location of the Scarlet Knights. Of course, he did not really want to go to the location of the Scarlet Knights, but towards the location of the Scarlet Knights. It was just heading in that direction. In fact, after just driving for more than an hour, Xiao Ran turned in one direction and headed to another place.
When I got off the bus, I saw the Demon God Caesar standing in the wilderness, several machines of the Scarlet Knights, as well as bonfires and figures under the machines.
When Xiao Ran walked towards the bonfire, several people around the bonfire also stood up. The leader among them was Corgi, the leader of the Scarlet Knights. He walked up to Xiao Ran in a few steps and laughed loudly. He patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder: "Knight Lelouch, you are finally back. As soon as I received your news, I brought your body here. The fight we had during your absence was simply too uncomfortable and frustrating. Now, your coming back means we can finally fight back, hahaha."
Xiao Ran nodded, glanced at the person behind Corgi and said: "We will start counterattack after dawn. This time we will deal with all those who have penetrated deep into our territory."
"Okay, I have been suppressed by those guys on the opposite side. I have been holding a breath in my heart and want to vent it." Corgi nodded fiercely and said: "I have read the order sent by the headquarters. I have already read it." We have arranged for some of our forces to go to the dividing line to support the defenders, while the main force will be left to deal with those arrogant guys. The specific steps to be taken will follow your arrangements, Knight Lelouch."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded, walked slowly to the campfire with Corgi and sat down, and said: "The order given to the Scarlet Knights just now was not clear enough. When the time comes, you only need to cooperate with me to encircle and intercept the enemy's main force. In fact, this aspect does not require too many people. With the help of Corgi Knight and some advanced combat power of the Scarlet Knights, the main task of the Scarlet Knights is to annihilate the enemies on the EU extension path and completely destroy them. The retreat route of the main force at the front is enough to intercept and delay the opponent's retreat."
When Xiao Ran said this, Ke Ji easily understood Xiao Ran's plan, which was to let the real high-level combat power of the Scarlet Knights cooperate with Xiao Ran to launch a surprise attack on the most front-end participants in EU, and some of the personnel who had been separated to assist the front-line. Defend against possible EU reinforcements and maintain the stability of the defense line. The remaining people will focus on the enemy on that dividing line, cutting off their escape routes and delaying the evacuation of the most advanced EU participants when necessary. Time and opportunity.
Such a plan can be said to be very simple, and Corgi has no difficulty in understanding it. If he really cannot understand this, Corgi will not be qualified to continue to sit as the leader of the Scarlet Knights. The plan is simple. , it can be said that any staff officer and commander with some brains can think of it, but thinking it does not mean that it can be done. First of all, there must be an absolutely powerful force that can eat the enemy's vanguard.
In the past, because the offensive of EU participants was too fierce, and the Scarlet Knights needed to retain their strength, they did not have the power to truly crush the opponent in terms of combat power. Even if they were willing to pay more sacrifices to completely drag the opponent to death, they would still bring a lot of damage to the opponent. The same loss will occur, but in the end it is just a meaningless result of losing both sides. Corgi cannot afford such losses, and the EU participants should be the same. If they really want to fight at all costs, the EU will definitely choose it. Retreat and won't fight hard.
The participants on both sides of the battle are not the Scarlet Knights who have been losing. Both sides have wins and losses. They will retreat immediately before the situation falls into the worst state. However, the situation has indeed developed to the current situation where the Scarlet Knights are steadily losing. Is the result of defeat a matter of strength? No, that's not entirely the case. It can only be said that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Corgi also made many active concessions in order to retain his strength.
But now that Xiao Ran has joined, the addition of one more high-level combat power will add an important weight to the originally balanced balance, which can directly determine the direction of victory or defeat. However, EU is so bold to go deeper. Come here, are you really not prepared at all? Is there really no doubt that this is a deliberate plan set by Butalia to make them advance rashly
Xiao Ran felt that there might be some twists and turns in the battle that was about to start soon, but no matter what twists and turns there were, it didn't matter. He would completely drive the EU army out of the area occupied by Butaria and annihilate the opponent's war as much as possible. The strength is enough. By that time, even if someone really escapes from the encirclement net circled by the Scarlet Knights, it will be impossible to do anything. We can only do our best and give priority to destroying and killing the powerful pilots among the enemies.
As for failure, Xiao Ran wouldn't even think about it. He also had the same confidence as other participants, even more confident than ordinary participants.
Although Xiao Ran was confident, he still reminded Ke Ji: "But you also have to pay more attention. According to common sense, the opponent's action pattern is a bit surprising. No matter how confident you are in your own strength, facing an enemy with a huge military force, Butaria and the Scarlet Knights who can fight them still choose this single-line attack method, which can no longer be described as a simple adventure."
"I suspect that the other party may have more hidden power, or it may be a means to ensure that they can achieve their final goal. Don't capsize in the final gutter. If your subordinates encounter an overwhelming situation, It’s better not to choose to fight hard.”
When Corgi received Xiao Ran's reminder, he lowered his face and nodded solemnly. He more or less felt the unscrupulous flavor of the other participant in his heart.
Xiao Ran stood up, faced the demon Caesar standing in the dark night, and asked: "Has the body been checked?"
Hearing Xiao Ran suddenly change the topic, Corgi also turned his head to look at Demon God Caesar, nodded and said: "Every day, regular inspections are carried out, and energy is also replenished. Now this machine is in the best condition. "
"Well, it's getting late. Let's rest for a while and adjust. We'll set off soon. Are the other members of the Scarlet Knights already in place?"
Xiao Ran said and turned around, and Corgi also stood up and patted his butt: "When I got the notice, I had already ordered my subordinates to go to the predetermined location. I will confirm with them immediately."
"Okay, I will send you the specific combat arrangements later." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he nodded to Corgi and then boarded the cockpit of Demon God Caesar, opened the main system of the body and linked to Butaria's military Encrypted the network, updated the map information of the aircraft, compiled a combat plan and sent it to Corgi, then closed his eyes and began to fall asleep in the cockpit.
A few hours later, the sky gradually lit up, and the sun's rays slowly shone on the earth. Xiao Ran suddenly opened his eyes, sat upright, put his feet down from the console, and moved slowly. He pressed his neck and wrist, pressed the side communication button, and at the same time fully started the machine.
"It's almost time. We'll leave in three minutes."
As Xiao Ran's words fell, several machines around Demon God Caesar all roared softly. The eyes of each machine lit up with lights of different colors, whether red, green, or yellow, and the thrusters ejected powerful and powerful The hot air flow flickered with high-heat tail flames, which floated into the sky one by one under the leadership of the Demon God Caesar.
Corgi sat in his own machine, his eyes always drifting away from the screen that displayed Demon God Caesar. He was driving a machine with a more powerful performance than Demon God Caesar, and most of the participants who had a certain strength Like the previous one, the machine Corgi is driving now is also a completely original machine, at least in terms of appearance.
But when he looked at Demon God Caesar, he couldn't see any confidence or pride on Corgi's face or eyes. His eyes were full of curiosity and complexity, and this curiosity and complexity came entirely from the unknown of Xiao Ran's strength. He had never seen it before. Corgi, who has really seen Xiao Ran display his full strength, has not yet had a direct understanding of Xiao Ran's strength. Today is the first time that the two of them fight together. Corgi can't wait to see what is regarded as his thigh. What kind of terrifying strength does Xiao Ran possess.
