The drama of a coup ended, and Lelouch proclaimed himself the ninety-ninth emperor of Butaria. Such a major event happened in the powerful Butaria, which indeed made many people unable to understand what happened. Suddenly Charles became a thing of the past, and a man unknown to others became the new emperor.
But Schneizel's support brought a group of supporters, and Cornelia's support also brought a group of supporters. More than half of the current Knights of the Round Table support it, especially with the record set just some time ago. Xiao Ran, who has great military exploits, and the support of Bimax, who has always been Charles's most trusted person, and the support of the Scarlet Knights, the most powerful military force recognized by the empire, can be said to be the most powerful among Butaria. , the people with the biggest fists all chose to support the new emperor Lelouch, which made many people confused about the situation, what exactly happened here, why such a drastic change suddenly occurred, and how long they had been preparing for today, Many people only feel the undercurrent.
Whether the people at the lower level oppose it or the people in the colonial area oppose it, it will not affect the overall situation too much. Lelouch becomes the emperor and it is unlikely that there will be many changes. Even if all the colonial areas unite and oppose Lelouch is of no use anymore. The total military power of the colonial areas cannot be a match for the empire itself. Direct confrontation with force is also the lowest option. Without understanding the various factors here, Until then, or before someone stood out, most people chose to remain silent, unwilling to become the second chicken to be killed by other monkeys.
Only a few people know that although there are indeed some arrangements and plans, Schneizel's preparations and arrangements for himself unexpectedly saved Lelouch a lot of trouble. Schneizel originally There were also preparations for a coup, but the preparations he made for the coup ended up being advantageous to Lelouch. This was one of the important reasons why Lelouch didn't have so much trouble after becoming the emperor. Otherwise, Schneizel would have fled and opposed it. , Butaria will also fall directly into the civil war, which is exactly the case in the original plot.
Cornelia, who also opposed Lelouch in the original plot, has now become a supporter of Lelouch. She used her reputation, power and influence in the military to immediately issue the declaration of Lelouch's accession to the throne. He disclosed his support for Lelouch, denounced Charles, who sacrificed countless people for his own selfish interests, and remotely controlled countless of his cronies and supporters to stabilize the situation of the entire military.
In the original plot, the two rebel leaders who appeared after Lelouch ascended the throne, Schneizel and Cornelia, are now fully supporting Lelouch. Although there are some voices in the entire empire, these voices But it was not shocking. Schneizel even personally contacted the governors of all colonial areas to appease their mood and win them over. This also kept Butaria, who had undergone drastic changes, in a state of confusion. in a more secure situation.
It can be said that Cornelia and Schneizel played a very big role in this. Cornelia did this because she had no choice, and Schneizel did it because he recognized the facts clearly. In terms of pure power, the power Lelouch mastered has completely crushed all the military power of the entire empire combined.
And after knowing Lelouch's ability and Xiao Ran's ability, Schneizel believed that the choice he made was very correct. One could directly control people and turn them into slaves, while the other had more terrifying abilities. With such power, Schneizel, who is good at choosing right and interests, actually has no other choice at all. In the current situation, he can continue to control all the rights of the entire country without being controlled. , having greater rights than before is also a good thing.
Many people don't know why such a drastic change happened suddenly, but Schneizel can see clearly that it is just because of power, because Lelouch has power that others cannot resist at all. When the power reaches a certain level, When the level is reached, power, strategy and even anything else will have no meaning. Forcibly using power to control everything can control Butaria, not to mention that in addition to this power, Xiao Ran also made some cards. With the important arrangements in place, the entire situation in Butaria completely changed in just one day.
Shumu Suzaku and others summoned from District 11 arrived in the capital the day after Lelouch declared himself emperor. At the same time, they were named Knights of the Round Table and temporarily belonged to Xiao Ran. Under Zell's arrangement, he was responsible for the military control of the entire capital, cleaning up the small-scale chaos that occurred in the capital, and ensuring a smooth transition in the coming period.
He belongs to Xiao Ran because Xiao Ran's identity has become the number zero knight that surpasses all the knights of the round table. All the knights of the round table are under him. At the same time, Xiao Ran is also the new governor of the rebel army, responsible for the security of the capital. For the country, The military control and stabilization work of the city, the work of arresting the rebels, etc. should have been done by Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran was unwilling to do it, so he left it to Schneizel. Naturally, the new Knights of the Round Table could only do the work. I can now follow Schneizel's instructions and do things.
Nowadays, Butaria also has a lot of internal worries. Lelouch cannot really control the country and has not twisted the country into a rope. He still needs to spread his influence. A lot of work has been done. Under such circumstances, the forces of other countries close to Butaria and the colonies did not want to take advantage of the internal chaos in Butaria to do something. Some forces also made such a move. action, but the Black Knights suddenly appeared, destroyed the troops fighting on both sides, and floated away. There was no force doing this anymore.
It is difficult to understand why the Black Knights appeared. Now Butaria is in the most chaotic period. Although their appearance simultaneously eliminated the defensive power of the Black Knights and the offensive power of other forces, this No matter how you look at it, this behavior seems to be helping Butaria. It is inevitable that people will think of the relationship between the Black Knights and Butaria, or to be precise, it has something to do with Lelouch.
Originally, Lelouch was unwilling to let the Black Knights appear in such a situation, so as not to cause unnecessary speculation to other forces, but Xiao Ran rejected Lelouch's idea and chose to let the Black Knights be the main force to maintain external stability. key.
As for why, Lelouch did not allow himself to really think about the actions of the Black Knights from his current environment and identity, but his worries seemed to Xiao Ran to be unnecessary. From an objective standpoint, what the Black Knights pursued was It is peaceful and stable, and no innocent civilians are sacrificed.
And if those forces really launch an attack and get benefits from it, then there will definitely be more forces joining in to take a share of the pie while Butaria is in the most chaotic situation. Maybe the whole of Butaria will also be affected. This will lead to chaos, civil war, and even more chaos. Therefore, even if the Black Knights appear to help Lelouch, they are still for the stability of the world.
The next arrangement Xiao Ran made was even more incredible. He directly ordered all the military forces along the border to retreat as a whole, pretending that the door was wide open and I would not stop it. However, it actually started countless engineering projects, that is Road construction, near all important strongholds and border lines, there is not a single Butaria soldier, but there are countless engineering teams, countless civilians began to build roads, repair strongholds, repair lines of defense, this kind of magic The operation made all the people who were looking at it extremely shocked. But after reaching this point, no force dared to send troops to test and harass. Gradually, some people saw clearly the reason why the Butalia Empire did this, and at the same time they also saw The 'reason' for the Black Knights' involvement in the battle became clear.
Everyone who saw these reasons secretly cursed the shamelessness of the person who came up with this plan. The Black Knights intervened in the war to avoid the expansion of chaos, but Butaria's withdrawal directly left the border and defense lines to the civilians. That is shameless , shamelessly and insidiously bought themselves time to repair border roads, strongholds and defense lines, and also turned the powerful Black Knights into free thugs. Anyone who dares to attack civilians who dares to send troops will attack civilians. It would be strange if the Black Knights did not appear. Damn, they can still do this. Even if the righteous Black Knights know that this is Butaria's conspiracy, they can only recognize it because this is their justice and philosophy. Many people have figured this out and expressed that they have been taught a lesson.
Xiao Ran said that this was just a basic operation and nothing to be proud of. The Black Knights intervened, the military forces retreated, and the three consecutive strikes of civilians who stepped forward to start work directly made all forces give up the idea of sharing the pie, and began to send envoys to the cloth with peace of mind. In the capital of Thalia, go and get in touch with Lelouch, the new Emperor of Butaria, listen to the so-called agreement, and also exchange opinions with other countries.
During this period of time, Xiao Ran did not interfere in Butaria's state affairs, but was busy with another matter, which was also the only threat to Lelouch in Butaria, the religious order.
Lelouch learned about the existence of the Order from the controlled Charles, and then was called over by Xiao Ran from District 11. After finding out the location of the Order, Xiao Ran led the Scarlet Knights to sweep across the entire Order. The group, vv was not killed, but was sealed in the same container that was originally sealed. During this cleanup, most of the other members of the religious group were directly killed by Xiao Ran and the Scarlet Knights without holding back. Only some personnel who were considered useful by Xiao Ran were left behind and all were imprisoned.
The destruction of the cult was completed in a very short period of time. The next step was to arrange the captive personnel and eliminate the influence of the cult. Many of the captured cult members had geass abilities. Conventional geass and artificial geass, but more geass ability users died during the cleanup, and the remaining people are basically researchers of the religious order. These people have studied geass for a long time and created artificial geass ability users. , people with the geass ability to eliminate devices are still of great use.
For these people, Xiao Ran did not let Lelouch use geass to control them, because these people had access to the geass elimination device. One-time control or not did not have much meaning. On the contrary, Xiao Ran could have a long-term effect, like boiling frogs in warm water. Like the geass ability to unknowingly change the inner admiration of others, the geass elimination device is difficult to have much effect, so in the end the only one who can control these people is Xiao Ran, and most of his time is wasted on Got this place.
With the fall of Charles, the special agents can finally start working in a big way. However, due to the changes in the situation, the special agents in District 11 are not as safe as before. The overall relocation work has also officially begun. The entire special agent will be The time required to move them all to the capital was not as simple as the first time. There were too many things that needed to be moved, and they were too important. Almost an entire army and more than a hundred large transport planes were arranged. In addition, Ke Ji led the members of the Scarlet Knights to go out in person. With so much manpower invested, it took almost a week to complete the migration.
Because the special mission was so important, Xiao Ran's eyes were always on the work of the special mission, and Liu Muye even got into it and paid attention to all the circumstances of the migration.
Now, everything is really on the right track. Everything that follows has a general arrangement and direction. We have strength and support. We have also captured two legions as our thugs. The rest is just a matter of step. Just go down and complete this mission.
But there is still a small problem in front of Xiao Ran, and that is Euphilia. When the innocent Euphilia saw Lelouch sitting on the throne, Euphilia at that time had The pain of being deceived by the most trusted person lingered in her heart. That day, Euphilia cried in her room until she fell asleep. After that, she never had any contact with Xiao Ran at all. I have never seen Liu Muye, who lives under the same roof almost before, with a sad look on his face every day and a dull expression that doesn't care about anything.
Xiao Ran knew about this situation through Liu Muye's mouth, and Liu Muye didn't have any special emotions when he told Xiao Ran about it. He just said it calmly and in a narrative tone.
Although Xiao Ran knew about it, he couldn't leave because of the religious group's affairs. However, for Euphilia, a simple girl, Xiao Ran felt a little bit guilty in his heart for taking advantage of her, and until Lelouch came After the grand official enthronement ceremony held in the capital, Xiao Ran had time to go to District 11.
