For a week, Xiao Ran and Rukino Saki seemed to have disappeared completely. No one could contact them. However, their disappearance did not cause much disturbance. First of all, Xiao Ran had already asked Corgi and Sai before leaving. Erleus, even if Lelouch didn't know about it, after asking Corgi, Selleus and the two later understood this. Based on Corgi's confirmation, Lelouch would naturally not be promoted to Xiao Ran. The thought of never coming back.
And the world will not stop functioning just because Xiao Ran has left for a week. Xiao Ran's influence on the world has not yet reached this level, and the whole world cannot be stagnant without anyone.
Without Xiao Ran, the two skilled veterans Corgi and Seleus and the two participant legions were still able to completely suppress the European Federation, which had no opponents. Just like what was arranged before, they would kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. All the restless elements in the European Federation, including those who are preparing to leave the European Federation and unite independently again when the situation is bad, once signs appear, the Scarlet Knights and the Roaring Lion Legion will descend on them and completely suppress them with powerful armed force. .
On the third day after Xiao Ran left, Ron, the commander of the army who had suffered a serious mental illness, finally woke up. When Ron opened his eyes, he didn't know where he was at the first time, nor did he know how far away he was. A few days had passed since the last time I was awake. I just felt dizzy and in a trance. I couldn't figure out the current situation for a while, and then I was confused for three consecutive times.
who I am? Where am I? What am I doing
It wasn't until several minutes passed that his memory slowly recovered. He recalled who he was and what happened just a moment ago. After being shrouded in endless beams of light, he should have been teleported back by an escape device. But the ceiling in front of him was obviously not the escape location he was bound to, and the question came back again, where am I
"Yo, wake up."
Ron suddenly heard a voice next to him, turned his head stiffly, and immediately saw Corgi sitting with his legs crossed next to a separate chair and small table, drinking tea. Suddenly, Ron suddenly felt that his head hurt even more. His head was really hurting. He vaguely understood his situation, and his heart felt cold. Although he had a headache, it gradually made him wake up.
While drinking tea, Corgi looked at Ron slowly and said, "It seems that you have figured it out. My Ron Army Commander, is there anything you want to say now?"
Ron glanced at Corgi and said nothing, then looked at the ceiling and remained silent. His thoughts were very confused now, with chills, unwillingness, and regret that all kinds of emotions filled him. Why did it become like this? What happened in the first place? He didn't understand why the combined power of the two participating legions and the preparation of the three time bombs led to such a result in the end. He didn't understand anything except that he had failed. It was a complete failure, everything was gone.
Suddenly, Ron thought of Jiuchang who resolutely quit this mission. He regretted so much why he had not considered Jiuchang's idea of withdrawing from this mission. But he also hated Corgi, hated Seleus, and hated that person. Pendragon, who had all his efforts wasted, hated Jiuchang and even more, Seleus, the two traitors who had betrayed him.
Corgi laughed when he looked at Ron, and did not hide his mockery of Ron: "Yo yo yo, isn't the famous Ron Legion Commander the benevolent and invincible? Why is he like this now, forcing others to end During the mission, did you ever think about today? Hahaha, are you giving up on yourself and preparing to risk your life? Tell me, how are you going to buy your own life? Apart from you, are the people in your legion also captured by me? Master, are you going to let them all die or buy them all back? It’s hard for me to understand you if you keep silent like this. In that case, I’m going to do it according to my own wishes.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Ron, the imprisoned benevolent invincible, seems to take a picture of your current appearance, so that other people can see what our Ron Army Commander looks like now."
Corgi's tone was gloating and quite sarcastic, and he also felt a little arrogant, as if he had taken control of the overall situation and became the ultimate boss. Being a boss was not good, but this feeling was extremely wonderful.
Ron slowly turned his head and looked at Corgi with a calm heart, no, a dead heart: "I will become like this today, but maybe you will be the one who becomes like this tomorrow."
"Well." Corgi raised a finger and shook his head gently: "no, no, no, no, no, I will not become like you, I will never become like you, I have heard In this sentence, self-knowledge is the most important thing for people. I am the kind of person who is particularly self-aware. I know what I can do and what I can achieve. I dare to bully the weak but never dare to challenge the strong, let alone put myself Being in the same position as a strong person, I will accept that others are strong, and I can do whatever I want to do regardless of whether I am convinced or willing to do anything, licking my face and sticking to them."
"Yes, I just have no backbone. What can backbone be used for? Can it make me stronger and go further? It's useless. They are all vain. Those are useless things. What we need is to be aware of current affairs, what we need is to be shameless, what we need is to be able to observe the situation, regard the bottom line of the strong as our own bottom line, regard the persistence of the strong as our own persistence, and regard the needs of the strong as our own. needs, giggle, I don’t know if you are like this in front of the strong man behind you, but I am like this. There is nothing I can’t admit, but the most important thing is luck, my Luck is better than you, and shameless people have better luck, so I won this time. To you, I am a stronger person than you, so I am better than you. If the situation is stronger than you, you must win. If you admit it, you'll die if you don't, and those of your men caught by us will also die, so think about it yourself."
"I won't tell you anything else, such as dreams and the future. I don't value those. Just tell me how many battle points and things you are willing to spend to leave this world. Don't think about giving up the mission. Then It's useless. Now you are in a state of war and you have become a prisoner. It is useless for you to withdraw from the mission in a special state. Or we will kill you directly and kill all the remaining people to completely destroy your legion. Even if all the things in our hands can't become ours, it's almost the same. Whether you live or die in this mission will not affect us in getting what we want from you. It's just a matter of more or less. I don't care. , Hey, but I don’t know if you care about your own life.”
Ron was so angry, super angry, very angry, so angry that he couldn't refute every word Corgi said. He could only grit his teeth, but when he bit his teeth, his head hurt very much. Ron had At this moment, I really had the idea of wanting to die, but it was not easy to do that.
Ron probably knows the situation of the legion even if he doesn't have to ask anything. It is basically completely scrapped. It will really take a long time to develop back to its original state. And they have become complete losers in this mission. It is estimated that it will take It failed even more than the previous legions that withdrew. This does not include the loss of personnel and aircraft. The loss of resources used in this mission is only the evaluation weight because the loss is too large. Because this time the forces were suppressed and all the territory was lost. For a lost relationship, a zero score should be nothing. If you want to turn around, you can. And because of your own strength and the strength of the remaining personnel, plus the help of the supporters behind you, you can also develop again, and he still has reputation. , but the loss is too great.
There is still hope for people to live. Although Ron wanted to die, he would not take the initiative to die. His eyes were red and his teeth were not daring to bite and he said bitterly: "What do you want!"
Corgi blinked: "It's not what I want, it's what you are willing to give. Besides, I don't even know what you have, so how do I know what you want."
Ron took a deep breath and felt burning pain everywhere: "Twenty million."
"Too little." Corgi shook his head without hesitation. Ron lowered his voice and said angrily: "Twenty million is still less!"
"Of course it's less. Twenty million is a lot?" Corgi waved his hands and said indifferently, but in his heart it was completely different from what he said. Twenty million is a lot. Even the Scarlet Knights don't have it now. With so many 20 million battle points, Ron really had the goods, so he still wanted to scrape some more things from Ron.
The total assets of Ron Legion are not too small, but compared to the Burning Legion, they are definitely poor. The total number of all combat points is less than 40 million, which is definitely a lot compared to most legions. Money, these more than 40 million were saved by Ron through frugality, and the big boss later would always help him with other technical resources. In addition, the tasks so far have been quite smooth, and the harvest has been great. Quite a few. Considering that the entire legion has less than 40 million battle merit points, which is already a lot. Ron's willingness to take out half of it at once is already a sign of sincerity, and it's not his fault to have so many battle merit points. One person can make the decision.
Among them, the assets that really belong to the legion are estimated to be only more than 10 million, and 15 million will be handed over to the big boss after the mission is over. They sell all the unnecessary things obtained during the mission. , skills, props, machines, etc. can only be obtained by selling all the merit points. Although the boss will give them support with merit points when needed, he will not be stingy, but the annual tribute and support handed over are It's two different things. You can't lack what you should give. If you enjoy the support, you must give something in return. Otherwise, why should others support you? The remaining part is each participant's own merit point.
Fortunately, you don’t have to give back 15 million for every mission. It’s a lot to hand over 15 million for a round of missions. Sometimes you can’t pay that much, and the support and help given by the big guys later are definitely worth it. The return price is equivalent to service fees, protection fees, management fees and insurance fees.
But in terms of legion assets, they are estimated to be higher than 40 million combat points. However, the loss due to the failure of this mission is so huge. Let’s not mention those assets. These are accumulated from countless missions. This time I will take out two Ten million plus so much loss is already a strain.
But 40 million is just a lot. If the mission didn't fail, it would be fine. Is it a joke to have a high-level machine worth 1 million? Is the consumption of seed members after each mission a joke? The strength of a legion depends on the number and level of strong men in the legion. Can we be strict in this aspect if we want to develop the legion? Upgrading the machine body and purchasing resources to supplement these do not require the consumption of combat points? You will make a lot of money after each mission, but it will also consume a lot of money. So many combat points must have been saved for a long time.
The legions above are eating their legions, and their legions will also eat other legions. Just like this mission was originally supposed to be a legion melee that ate up the resources of other legions, but they happened to be the ones being eaten. As the saying goes. Well, it’s a long walk by the river without getting your feet wet. This time, their feet were not only wet, but they were bitten hard by a crocodile.
After leaving the mission this time and facing the nearly scrapped legion, we had to increase investment in war merit points and re-develop it. The legion would be hollowed out in one fell swoop, and even the protection fees handed over would have to be withheld.
Ron was so angry. Did Corgi, a second-rate idiot, know how much twenty million was? When he saw Corgi, he felt furious. If it weren't for the current situation and there was nothing he could do about it, Ron would really want to chew Corgi.
"I still have to bear the loss of the mission! You have won this mission, and the rewards you have received are definitely quite a lot. It is definitely more than 10 million in income. If you add it all up, what else can you be dissatisfied with?"
"It adds up to a lot. Isn't that what we deserve?" Corgi looked innocent and said that it had nothing to do with him, and of course it had nothing to do with Ron.
Ron didn't want to talk to Corgi anymore and asked directly: "What do you want!"
"It needs to be something interesting and valuable, such as technology."
Ron closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "No."
Corgi didn't believe it: "Impossible. Invincible Ron's army commander didn't leave any mission until the end. How could he not have technology, machine technology, weapon technology, battleship technology, special technology, any technology, or rare blood serum?" , skill books, special parts and props, etc., just give me some casually, then I will agree to your 20 million, otherwise forget it, I will kill you in the end and it depends on your luck. Anyway, in the end, if there is a trophy, you can choose it. It’s a pretty good deal for us, and we choose first anyway.”
Ron simply felt that the idiot in front of him was a bastard, a bastard, you can negotiate like this, you can threaten him at every turn, what the hell do you want to do!
However, Ron also knew that the other party was determined to defeat him, so he took a deep breath and gave himself the final condition: "Twenty-five million, the technology will be weighted according to the score, and the trophies will be chosen by you, including blood serum, special parts and other rare items." Props, but I have the right to refuse to hand over the items you selected in exchange for other items of equal value. The last one is that your people withdraw and leave me one-third of the European Federation territory."
Corgi grinned: "Deal."
