Chapter 2488: Charles' Internal and External Troubles

Although Xiao Ran has always been in the capital, spending every day with the logistics technical department of the Soul Slayer, but he also keeps a constant eye on all the situation in the eleventh district, and will contact Saki almost every day , as short as a few minutes, as long as tens of minutes, used to understand all the situation in District 11, but rarely interfered with things related to District 11, just reminding Saki to pay more attention and protect Yuffie Liya is a kind girl who is equally important to the next plan.

As for Lu Luxiu, perhaps he also wanted to train this kid, and Xiao Ran never interfered with the affairs of the Black Knights, and Xiao Ran didn't even bother about the actions of the Black Knights in District 11. Just contacting from time to time to confirm how much Lu Luxiu has controlled the cherry stone mining area and how many cherry stones he has collected.

In addition to District 11, Xiao Ran also paid attention to the situation outside of Butaria. He mainly focused on the changes in the situation among various countries and the changes in the battle situation in the Border Region of Butaria, but the real focus was on those Participants who have begun to gradually change the situation of the entire world battlefield, slowly speculate on the current situation of each legion and the strategic power they can use through not too detailed information and some changes in clues.

Every day passed gradually in such a seemingly leisurely situation, and finally one day, Xiao Ran received a notice asking him to go to the palace to meet Emperor Charles.

After receiving the notice, Xiao Ran didn't waste any time. Under the reminder of his attendants, he changed into a brand new knight uniform and got on the vehicle that came to pick him up. It didn't take too long to enter the palace, and then left again. After passing through the long passage, in the same hall, I saw Emperor Charles again who seemed to have not seen it for a long time.

Seeing Charles again, he was still sitting on the throne above the high platform with a majestic and solemn appearance, and Xiao Ran who walked down the stage also performed all the etiquette that a subordinate should do, raised his right hand and lightly pressed his left chest, Bending slightly: "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor, good day Your Majesty."

Charles waved his hand lightly, and calmly said without any emotional fluctuations: "No need to be polite, please get up my second knight."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Ran stood up.

Charles glanced at Xiao Ran, and said: "For a while, it's also thanks to Knight Luluxiu's cooperation with the technical personnel of the Empire. I have heard reports that the technical department has almost mastered the current machine called Soul Slayer. The condition of the machine, and Knight Lu Luxiu, you are already familiar with that machine, right?"

Xiao Ran respectfully replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, after this period of familiarization, not only the technical department has gradually mastered the logistics and preparation technology of the Soul Slayer, but I am also thoroughly familiar with that machine body, and I am confident enough to use it The full performance of the machine body can be brought into full play."

Charles said: "Then you know,

The technical department has submitted an application to me, hoping to start the next step of research on Soul Slayer. "

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded lightly, and said: "Looking at the current situation, if we need to understand and analyze more about the Soul Slayer, then we need to actually let the Soul Slayer enter the battlefield, use To collect Soul Slayer's battlefield performance and more combat parameters, if you want to have a deeper understanding of the machine body, it is completely impossible to do it with the current test on dead objects. Only on the battlefield can you get more information .”

"Since you already know, you should have already made preparations." Charles nodded, and continued: "I called you here to inform you that the investigation team is ready, and the logistics technology department is also ready. Three days later You are about to leave the capital, you should not have forgotten what you said before."

Xiao Ran bent down again: "Yes, I am also ready to serve the Empire at any time, and I will never forget the mission His Majesty entrusted to me. I will definitely cooperate with the investigation team, and at the same time re-establish Your Majesty and the round tables in the border regions The prestige of the knights suppresses the influence of the Scarlet Knights on the border regions."

"Very good." Charles was very satisfied with Xiao Ran's answer and respect for himself, which can be seen from his undisguised expression of satisfaction. He glanced at Xiao Ran again and asked, "How sure are you that you can do this?" To the task I assigned to you."

"All." Xiao Ran raised his head and said in a confident tone: "There is no possibility of failure in this mission, and no failure is allowed."

Charles narrowed his eyes: "Do you know that the current situation in the border region of the empire is not very good. Even with the help of the Scarlet Knights, the empire's powerful force is still retreating step by step, and if it is not for the strong support of the Scarlet Knights , perhaps the empire has already lost at least three numbers, and the Scarlet Knights have now become the most indispensable force in the border region, and the task I entrusted to you is not easy to complete."

"Among the enemies fighting against the empire today, there are also many armed forces comparable to the Scarlet Knights. They also have the same powerful body as the Scarlet Knights. Even the Scarlet Knights have suffered a lot. Do you think you are sure to deal with such an enemy? Are you sure that the glory of the Knights of the Round Table will surpass the Scarlet Knights again? Even your body is also provided by the Scarlet Knights. Do you think you can drive their body? Is it more effective than the Scarlet Knights?"

"Yes." Xiao Ran replied decisively without hesitation, and said, "Because I am stronger than them, and I have shown this in previous battles. They are more powerful, even if the Scarlet Knights have other same Soul Slayers and more powerful machines than Soul Slayers, I can always trample the Scarlet Knights under my feet."

"Very good." Charles showed a satisfied expression again, and said, "I'm curious, what kind of power does that Soul Slayer possess, and what can you do with that Soul Slayer."

When Xiao Ran faced this question from Charles, he was silent for a while, maybe it was intentional, or he was thinking, but after a few seconds, Xiao Ran gave Charles his own reply: "If your majesty has read the information submitted by the logistics and technical department Report, His Majesty must know that the power possessed by the Soul Slayer is definitely at the top of the pyramid of combat weapons shown in the world today. It has a huge body shape, extremely high flexibility, strong destructive power, and the ability to fly. In addition to the shortcomings of long-range attack, it is difficult to describe it as excellent in all aspects, and it should not be an exaggeration to call it the strongest."

"If I drive the Soul Slayer, I can give full play to the full performance of the Soul Slayer. If I have to use an example for comparison... the Soul Slayer I am driving can completely eliminate all the knights of the round table by myself." Leading the entire fully configured KF army, and the time will not exceed sixty minutes."

"Driving this machine, I am even sure that I can single-handedly conquer all the military forces of the next number. The time will not be too long. There are ten people with the same technology driving ten Soul Slayers. Please forgive me To put it bluntly, such a force can completely break down all the military forces in Butaria."

Charles' eyes narrowed immediately, and the expression on his face became a little heavy. He said in a slightly deep voice, "Are you sure about what you said?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can be sure of every word I said." Xiao Ran nodded heavily, and said in the same voice: "Because of this, the Scarlet Knights who were able to hand over the Soul Slayer without hesitation should still be in control." With a more powerful force, they can take out a machine like the Soul Slayer. It cannot be said that they do not pay attention to the Soul Slayer. After all, this is a machine with powerful power, but it can be said that they are not enough for the Soul Slayer. Pay attention to."

"In other words, there may be other Soul Slayers in the hands of the Scarlet Knights, and there will not be one or two, and there may even be more than five, and there must be more Soul Slayers in the hands of the Scarlet Knights." More powerful and terrifying mechs exist, so the true strength of the Scarlet Knights cannot be underestimated, but because of this, it is even more necessary to suppress the prestige and influence of the Scarlet Knights."

"But on the other hand, those armed organizations that can compete with the Scarlet Knights and make the Scarlet Knights suffer may also have a body that is as powerful as the Soul Slayer or even more powerful. As a result, there will be a certain limit to what I can do in the end, but fortunately, this limit will not be met in a short time, but the power of the Scarlet Knights is indeed indispensable to the empire for the time being."

"So to what extent should the Scarlet Knights be suppressed, let them feel fear, feel the strength of the empire, and let them concentrate on doing things for the empire, and not feel resentful and betray the empire, I dare not measure it Chao Yue, I also hope that His Majesty can give a hint."

"However, if Your Majesty decides to completely suppress the Scarlet Knights, I will do my best to complete all the tasks His Majesty arranges, and Your Majesty does not have to worry too much about the Scarlet Knights' resistance, because even if the Scarlet Knights do have more powerful machines, But I can also bring the performance of the Soul Slayer to the true extreme, reaching more than 250% of the performance under normal conditions. I believe this should be able to have the most powerful force in a similar organization like the Scarlet Knights The power of battle."

Charles closed his eyes. It seemed that what Xiao Ran said didn't disturb him too much, but in his heart he was not as calm as he appeared on the outside. Many things Xiao Ran said were the same as Charles. I have thought that the Soul Slayer will definitely not be the most powerful machine of the Scarlet Knights, because the most powerful machine of the Scarlet Knights will definitely not be willing to take it out, so now even if there is a Xiao Ran who is as powerful as the Soul Slayer A body like this might not necessarily be able to become an opponent of the Scarlet Knights, it could only exist as a banner and a tool of check and balance.

Internal and external troubles are the best illustration of the empire today. Butaria still looks so strong and calm now, and has been carrying out raids to the outside world as if it wants to occupy the entire earth, but in fact, even though Butaria is as strong as it is today It is still impossible to eliminate all other countries and occupy the entire earth, but it can also maintain all advantages because of this strength.

But suddenly, the situation of the whole world suddenly changed. Countless powerful organizations suddenly appeared from different parts of the world, and then began to resist the empire. The power of these organizations is very powerful, but they are inexplicably harmonious. The empire began to fight against it, as if God deliberately let these organizations appear to prevent Butaria from attacking the entire earth, and to prevent Charles from realizing his dream, one time, two times, three times, time after time, the empire suffered and repelled He overcame the empire's many counterattacks and saw through many traps, but the first time he almost killed his excellent daughter in their hands.

These organizations that jumped out suddenly joined the forces that opposed the empire, oppressing the empire from all directions, so that the empire could not advance an inch, and could only defend the currently occupied area, and this defense did not know how many excellent empires were sacrificed soldier.

From the very beginning, facing these powerful organizations that suddenly popped up, the empire was still capable of fighting, but gradually the power exposed by these organizations became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for the empire's force to parry, but just now At this time, the Scarlet Knights appeared and actively joined the empire. It was precisely because of the Scarlet Knights' joining that the empire had the power to resist those inexplicable organizations, and gradually stabilized the situation that was almost completely defeated.

However, the time when the Scarlet Knights appeared was too coincidental, which made Charles full of distrust of the Scarlet Knights from the beginning, but he couldn't do without the help of the Scarlet Knights, and the powerful Scarlet Knights It didn't look like they were serving the empire wholeheartedly, and the completely untrustworthy Scarlet Knights became an internal worry, worrying that they would do something unfavorable to the empire and Charles.

All these things actually gave Charles a headache, but fortunately, a lot of good news appeared in District 11 one after another. The first was the appearance of a new generation of organisms like Lancelot. The possibility of relying on the Scarlet Knights, and then started a brand-new body plan, so that Charles saw the possibility of gaining power beyond the Scarlet Knights, but from the current point of view, even if a body like Lancelot is specially made for mass production, It is also difficult to truly compete with the power level of the Scarlet Knights.
