I’m planning to create a group, but I’m still a bit unclear on how general groups are restricted, whether it’s full subscription or something else, haha.
Although there is actually not much difference between Orb sending three fleets and sending all the troops, what he will face at the beginning will be a coalition that has not yet collapsed. In fact, Orb's neutrality is considered a violation of his ideals. , but fortunately there is still such a chastity arch to deal with, so as long as the troops are dispatched to only focus on the forces that can be determined, it can be regarded as a good fig leaf and a justifiable reason.
But if after a period of buffering, all those who should break away from the alliance break away from the alliance, then the remaining alliance can naturally be recognized as a force of all. If Orb attacks with the whole army, it will be more reasonable. Although It seems a bit unnecessary, but reputation, philosophy, and politics still need a fig leaf that can be justified.
Durandal understood Xiao Ran's concerns and also understood Xiao Ran's thoughts. At the same time, Xiao Ran made this decision to explain to the world that the Alliance was not Orb's enemy, and Orb had never wanted to violate the concept of neutrality by joining. The same camp is against the Alliance. Orb only sends troops to deal with this organization that is disrupting the world. It is for the sake of peace in the entire world. Once the Alliance really becomes chaotic and collapses, Orb will even leave the Alliance and switch to Orb or the coalition forces jointly identify the remaining coalition forces as controlled forces. Then Orb will send out all its troops at that time, which means that the coalition and Orb will unite to deal with the bad guys.
Anyway, only a few people in this world will always know what the real situation is. As long as you make a gesture and be seen by those who don't know the truth, that's fine.
And today's Orb, actually sending three fleets is not a small force. Although Orb's power has been strengthened after reunification with the Heavenly Pillar, that part is basically the combat power of the universe. On Earth The strength of the three fleets is just that. Before the battle between Orb and United, the three fleets were almost at the level of Orb's seventh level or above. However, after being supplemented by so many United captive battleships, the three fleets were only It's almost half of Orb's current combat effectiveness.
Being able to send out so many troops, at least for Durandal, who has never let down his guard against Orb, is indeed a very sincere ratio.
Next, Xiao Ran and Durandal had a heated discussion about the benefits of the war, and finally set the ratio at three to one, three to one for Orb. Orb seemed to get too little, but In fact, if you include the proportion of troops dispatched, it is really not a lot at all. However, Durandal and Xiao Ran also know that such a proportion can only be implemented in the initial stage. Once Orb fully invests its troops, the joint forces will After the collapse, it was natural that whoever grabbed it would belong to whomever, and no one would care about these things. Xiao Ran and Durandal naturally understood this with smiles on their faces.
Durandal needed to enrich his own strength and clear away the obstacle of Orb after the alliance was established. Xiao Ran also needed time and resources, waiting for the alliance to disintegrate to trick Durandal. Both sides seemed to be scheming against each other. They are very close, but they have reached a close cooperation of unity. The two fox-like guys make it impossible for others to see their true thoughts. However, Xiao Ran definitely holds more trump cards than Durandal and can influence , influenced Lux, Cruze who had a deeper understanding of Durandal, Zhen Asuka and Lei, who were regarded as trump cards by Durandal, and Xiao Ran was really looking forward to the days after the alliance quickly collapsed.
But Xiao Ran is not sure whether Durandal, an old fox, will have any fateful plans when he is in Orb. However, with Durandal's cunning, he will definitely find ways to hack himself first and put Orb first. Only after he becomes an enemy of the world will he reveal his destiny plan.
After talking about what should be discussed, the next thing was naturally done by the people below. Durandal took Xiao Ran and started to visit the Gibraltar base. Durandal did not care about the issue of confidentiality at all. He would take Xiao Ran wherever it was important. Even Xiao Ran had to say such a word of submission to Durandal. In order to reassure himself, he would do things that ordinary people couldn't do. It was not until he wandered around for a while that he personally He sent Xiao Ran back to the door of the room, and then left and returned to his residence.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on Xiao Ran's door. When the entourage opened it, Aslan, dressed in red, walked into Xiao Ran's suite with a man and a woman. At this time, Xiao Ran also However, he had just opened his eyes, and it was not until his entourage reported Aslan's visit that Xiao Ran began to tidy up slowly.
After Xiao Ran walked to the living room of the suite refreshed and clean, he saw Aslan and the other three people sitting on chairs who looked very formal. Apart from Aslan, the one who came with him was Xiao Ran who had Heine, whom I met in Orb, has been a close friend of the Daimyo for a long time, but today I saw Lunamaria for the first time.
After Xiao Ran appeared, Aslan, Heine, and Luna Maria quickly stood up and saluted Xiao Ran. Judging from Luna Maria's expression, the girl also seemed a little nervous now, with a look in her eyes. What exuded was an unstoppable curiosity.
"Master Xiao Ran, good morning, please forgive me for disturbing you."
"Haha." Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, waving his hand for the three of them to sit down, and he also sat opposite the three of them: "You must have something to do if you come here early. If you are not in a hurry, we can take advantage of this time to spend time together." How about breakfast."
After saying that, Xiao Ran nodded to the entourage in the room, and the entourage walked out of the suite directly to make arrangements. Aslan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Xiao Ran had already asked people to go down and make arrangements, he smiled bitterly and nodded. : "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"You are still so polite to me." Xiao Ran smiled, looked at Heine, and said: "Heine, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. Is there anything you were dissatisfied with in Orb before? Tell me next time you go to Orb, I will make them correct it."
When Heine heard Xiao Ran's words, he quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "I am deeply honored by the reception arranged by you. The time I spent in Orb was the most relaxing time for me. I didn't have to worry about anything or think about anything. I feel particularly relaxed about the battle. I came here this time to ask Aslan to bring me with me to express my gratitude to you, and also to express my gratitude to you for letting the Lord Angel help the Minerva."
After saying that, Heine also stood up and bowed to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran also waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sit down quickly, as long as you are satisfied with your time in Orb, lest that guy Durandal blames me. If I can't even take good care of his people, then I really won't be able to see anyone. Haha, as for the Minerva thing, it happened by chance. After all, as our collaborators, of course we won't just watch Minerva. Wa Hao is in danger, there is nothing to say about this, and by the way, you don’t want to introduce this lady."
Luna Maria quickly stood up, pressing her skirt with both hands and bending slightly towards Xiao Ran: "Hello, Sir Xiao Ran, my name is Luna Maria. I have always admired you very much. The Speaker has always told us that the reason why the world can gain a short-term Peace is all because of your own efforts to organize the United War. I am very happy to see you today. Before I met you, I thought you must be a very majestic person. Now I know that you are so kind. I was also a little surprised.”
"Hello Lunamaria." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and said with some surprise: "It's really surprising that Durandal would praise me like this. Your speaker was really complimentary. The war can be stopped only because of me. Aslan beside you, Princess Lacus Klein, and some neutral organizations that are unwilling to continue the war, such as the Waste Dealers Guild and the Deep Universe Development Agency, are all I have given you a lot of support. If it were just me, I might not be able to prevent the war from stopping even if I die from exhaustion, haha."
Xiao Ran's words made all three of them smile, and Xiao Ran's gentleness completely relaxed Lunamaria's nervous heart. Compared with Di Landal, Xiao Ran's gentleness can make people feel truly close. Although Randall usually behaves very gently, his gentleness still reveals the aura of a superior person, which is completely different from Xiao Ran's gentleness with a smile.
At least after a short period of contact, Lunamaria already felt that Xiao Ran was a very gentle person, but she also couldn't understand why a person who was so gentle in private could become so tough in the face of national events. But after thinking about it, Thinking about Orb's bad situation, Lunamaria seemed to understand the reason for Xiao Ran's toughness.
Xiao Ran chatted a few words with the three of them. Lunamaria kept covering her mouth with a relaxed smile. Heine, who already knew Xiao Ran and became more familiar with Xiao Ran, also relaxed a lot and initially stood in front of Xiao Ran. Showing his original character, Xiao Ran kept looking at Aslan's expression that wanted to speak but couldn't find a chance to speak. He smiled and asked proactively: "By the way, are you here to tell me something?"
Hearing Xiao Ran's question, Aslan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it. Because Speaker Durandal had some things to deal with, he asked me, a person who is familiar with you, to come over and tell you that the press conference and The speech has been set at two o'clock in the afternoon, please arrive early and don't miss it."
