Xiao Ran led a wave of rhythm and directly defeated the EU army that had penetrated into the 19th District. This goal was achieved not with pure tactics of disclosure, but with pure high-level combat power. Capturing a level 1 machine was not considered extraordinary. A high-end machine but with special abilities, it also defeated a seven-god fusion composed of seven machines. Although the opponent was not beaten to the point of crying for father and mother, it was definitely very uncomfortable. In terms of losses, it can be said that Not too small.
The participants of EU were completely repelled, which meant that the Scarlet Knights and the soldiers of District 19 were no longer invincible. They easily recovered all the lost ground and restarted the confrontation with EU. And it was so simple. Cornelia, who was in the rear, expressed disbelief that she won this battle. This victory was simply too easy.
EU couldn't believe it either, because the loss was also too easy.
However, none of this was an accident or a fluke. It was simply that the stronger side suppressed the weaker side. Tactical strategies had no effect at all in such a battle. It was purely a matter of hard power. Compete.
Now in the war between EU and Bria on the African continent, ordinary military forces no longer have much ability to change the situation and guide the direction of the war. Even strategic arrangements cannot play much role. From the original tigers and wolves of this world It has turned into a flock of sheep, and has completely evolved into a battle that relies on participants as the real main force. Even strategies and arrangements require participants to implement them to be effective. A participant wins when an ordinary army wins, and a participant defeats an ordinary army. Defeat, no matter how hard the ordinary army fights, it will not be able to affect the direction of even a battle.
This situation is normal. After all, the ordinary army has no possibility of posing a threat to the participants. If the number of participants is small, it is possible. But now they are all participants of the size of the legion. How can the ordinary army threaten them
If this situation develops, the role of the ordinary army will be limited to material transportation, patrolling and defense of strongholds. No matter how many troops are used in real frontal combat, the role it can cause is more interference than threat. After all, the combat range alone In theory, this is just a part of the African continent, and it is not a situation where participants of legion size have to completely disperse their forces and arrange them in different theaters.
But in this situation, EU and Butalia have invested a lot of ordinary combat power, and let these ordinary combat power be consumed on the battlefield without any meaning. This is not a normal situation. situation, and it was not Xiao Ran who caused this situation.
In the 19th District, Xiao Ran has never used ordinary troops as the main force from the beginning of his command. He has always used the Scarlet Knights as the main force. Even when he wants to launch an offensive battle, he only arranges these ordinary troops behind the flanks. It's just support, because he knows that ordinary troops have no effect on the participants.
But this is not the case on the EU side. Ordinary troops are often the first to go into battle. They attack in a swarm and then the participants guard behind. Once the participants of the Scarlet Knights attack, they will attack to intercept, leaving the ordinary troops to suffer losses. , allowing ordinary armies to fight against each other, in a seemingly slow but rapid process, using countless lives to directly use this fighting method, and actively pulled EU and Butalia into the meat-grinding battle, Both sides had sacrificed too many lives during this period, which became even more serious after Xiao Ran left District 19 and was noticed.
Why do you do this? Why do EU participants use these ordinary sergeants as consumables? Xiao Ran said that he does not understand very well, but if the participants do not treat the aborigines as equal creatures, Xiao Ran will I know, but I don’t agree with that. This kind of consumption is completely meaningless. What is the purpose of doing this? Xiao Ran felt that there should be some story here, and it was for a longer-term purpose, but it would not affect the current situation of District 19 or even Butalia as a whole.
But no matter what, Xiao Ran is not a person who would take the lives of ordinary people to vent his anger. After this battle, almost more than 100,000 EU ordinary soldiers were captured. These prisoners were all taken to the Roaring Lion Corps under Xiao Ran's order. They were placed in the stronghold. Although a lot of people had to be guarded, Xiao Ran never thought of doing anything excessive to these prisoners.
Cornelia wanted to pursue the victory and use the prestige brought by this victory to return all the grievances suffered during this period to EU. After all, the period of Xiao Ran's departure was too difficult. Too much was sacrificed and too much was lost. She wanted to Cornelia was not the only one who had this feeling of wanting to take revenge, it was shared by everyone in the army from the top to the bottom. However, Xiao Ran directly rejected Cornelia's proposal and temporarily suppressed the thoughts of the top brass.
This victory does not mean that he can directly attack all EU's strongholds without any hindrance. Xiao Ran has reason to believe that since EU dares to go deep alone, it is impossible not to think of follow-up methods. It is a good thing to be safe, and it is also necessary to leave a black An opportunity for the Knights to appear.
Leaving the matter of cleaning up the situation and reorganizing the army to Cornelia, Xiao Ran drove Demon God Caesar to the headquarters of the Scarlet Knights, where Xiao Ran had another important thing to do.
After the machine stopped at the base, Xiao Ran came out of the cockpit and saw the Corgi guarding the ground below. If the former Corgi only respected Xiao Ran because of his loyalty to Lelouch , but in fact, they only treat Xiao Ran as an equal and cooperative relationship, but now when meeting Xiao Ran, he really treats him as a boss and respects him extremely.
"Knight Lelouch, you're here. I've already made arrangements. That machine can be transported away at any time."
"Go and have a look." Xiao Ran glanced at Corgi, who even bent his waist slightly. He didn't say anything more, just nodded lightly, and then said: "Have the body been checked."
Corgi, who was half a body behind Xiao Ran, said quickly: "It has been checked, but we have no way to unlock the body's system. We can only conduct a thorough inspection of the body and dismantle all the parts of the body's positioning and communication. The energy system was cut off by physical means, and no other self-destruction measures were found."
Xiao Ran said: "That's enough. I'm going to transport that body to Area 11 for analysis and processing to see if it's possible to thoroughly analyze and copy the technology for making that body, the kind of virtualization and offensive clones. The ability interests me.”
"However, the technical staff in District 19 are still a little behind in terms of capabilities. Do you have any excellent technical staff here that you can recommend?"
Xiao Ran said it very directly. He asked Corgi to send people to analyze the machine together. Judging from the technical level of Eleven when he went to Lloyd, there is still a lot of technology to analyze the death machine. Even if the fault can be analyzed and copied, it will probably take a long, long time to do it. If Xiao Ran leaves after the mission is over, he may not be able to get any results. But if the Scarlet Knights have enough outstanding technical personnel, That will definitely speed up the analysis of that machine, but Xiao Ran will eventually use his skills to recycle it and bring it back to the legion. The analysis here is also to avoid some small accidents, because Xiao Ran It's not Luo. Although it's European enough, it's not the European emperor like Luo after all. It's very likely that there will be incomplete recycling. In this case, technical data is needed as support.
Corgi was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Ran's words. He seemed to be a little embarrassed. However, Xiao Ran understood what Corgi was embarrassed about. Cracking other participants' bodies was already a kind of technological theft, especially if that body belonged to This is especially true when it comes to the unique technology of the enemy legions. This is a prohibited behavior in Prometheus, and it is also a protection measure for the participants themselves. If it is not yours, don’t mess with it. They are more likely to It is completely impossible to get anything useful from that machine.
It is precisely because of such measures that Xiao Ran can sell warships in Prometheus without worrying that other legions will copy them, because other legions will never be able to crack the core technology of warships. This is a very magical thing. rules.
For this machine, what Xiao Ran wants is not the technology of the other machine, but the principles, and then uses other technologies and methods to show the same effect, and the entire Prometheus wants to do it like the Burning Legion. There are really not many of these. There may be a lot of technical personnel, but the vast majority of technical personnel will never have access to technical information that is too wide-ranging, and there is no such opportunity at all. A single technical system is probably enough for them. A lifetime, and most of them are probably just familiar with a technical sequence, not to mention that not every legion has excellent technical personnel.
There are multiple worlds like the Burning Legion, and there is also a chaotic fusion world like mecha war, with three systems of real, super, and fantasy technologies, and there are countless different technology trees and technology systems throughout Prometheus. There is only one, and how many black technology kings like Luo can there be in the European Emperor? How many of them can independently manufacture three-series S-class or above machines
The development of the Burning Legion is so special now. It is so special that every technician is familiar with different technologies of multiple systems, different technologies in different worlds, and the concepts are even more unconstrained. This is what the Burning Legion didn't know when it first started to develop. The mark left by Jue, but the other legions are completely different.
Xiao Ran knew that the Burning Legion was special, but he ignored the technical level of other legions. He thought that since the Scarlet Knights could create soul-slayers and enhanced the soul-slayer's technology to the demon god Caesar, he ignored the Scarlet Knights' technical level. Technicians should have technical background, and it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out the principles of an aircraft.
But the truth is that it is so difficult. The Scarlet Knights only understand the skills of soul slayers. Although the skills have commonalities, they can’t understand things they don’t understand. It’s like those who know League of Legends. How to operate Riven's Lightspeed QA, but it's the same as life and death. The technicians of the general legion have been completely restricted by the few single technologies that the legion has. If there is no legion territory, the restrictions will be even greater, because There is no environment for them to grow up, and they only understand one point on the line.
Just like the warships sold by the Burning Legion, it doesn't matter if it can be analyzed. Without the territory, it cannot be manufactured at all. Even if there is the territory, it is impossible to manufacture the Macross class with the territory of Nazi's old club x Gundam World, just like One is communicating Chinese and the other is communicating English. The two different systems have no intermediaries and no translators. Is it possible to use universal gestures for technical communication
Corgi coughed twice and said in embarrassment: "Our technicians are not good. They have no problem with daily maintenance of the machine, but they really don't know much about technology. There are no technicians in the strict sense."
Xiao Ran glanced at Keji and nodded slightly. He felt something from Corgi's words. It wasn't rejection or embarrassment, but a bit of real helplessness in it.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but asked in confusion: "The level of your technical staff is only about inspection and repair?"
Corgi said sheepishly: "It's a little better than this, but it's not to the level where you can analyze the technology from other people's bodies. But it would be good to take out the parts of other bodies and put them into your own body for use." no problem."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more about this issue. He was just a little surprised that such a legion, which was already not a small one, could have such a technical level. It was simply too arrogant.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran asked: "How is the prisoner doing?"
"It doesn't look like he was seriously injured, but he still hasn't woken up yet. From time to time he has some nervous twitches, and some capillaries in his head burst, but he is still alive. After asking, he seems to have cerebral palsy. I have people keeping watch over the signs.”
As he said that, Corgi also looked at Xiao Ran with a strange look. He really didn't know how Xiao Ran made the captured guy look like a fool even if he was in a coma, and he could still drool. Unstoppable flow.
Xiao Ran felt Corgi's eyes and ignored him and said, "Okay, I'll leave the prisoner to you to deal with."
Corgi nodded quickly. Such a prisoner was really useful to the Scarlet Knights, but he didn't know that this was a bargaining chip that Xiao Ran deliberately left for them to trade with the EU army on the opposite side to earn benefits. After all, that The pilot level of the Death Machine is not too low. I believe that the other side should be willing to pay some price to return the prisoner. As for cerebral palsy, it is not a problem at all as long as he returns to Prometheus.
