Chapter 2502: Reason

Hearing Xiao Ran's words suddenly, Cornelia's body stiffened unconsciously, but she didn't turn her head to look at Xiao Ran at all, but kept silent and speechless, because what Xiao Ran said was not wrong, she was indeed She wanted to take advantage of the current situation in the 19th District to delay Xiao Ran, although she also knew that it was not very useful.

Cornelia can be said to be very sober now, she has been fully sober since the first day she woke up, but it does not affect the relationship between her and Xiao Ran that has happened and continues to happen.

She clearly knew that Xiao Ran had used a strange and special ability to bury special things in her heart, and she knew better what kind of changes these things had brought to her. This kind of change was not to change her memory, but more She didn't change her character, or even her thoughts, but only left in her heart an irresistible stalwart figure, a figure that gradually made her willing to give everything and obey, especially in her heart. When the emotional and mental fluctuations are the greatest, other and more things have evolved.

Her reason told her that she should not do this, no matter what she should do, but she couldn't control the deepest hope and desire in her heart, which drove her to obey. The conflict between reason and heart made Cornelia It was somewhat tormenting, she was unwilling to betray her father, but she couldn't do anything unfavorable and betraying Xiao Ran. Under the urging of her own reason, and on the premise of not betraying both parties, it was the current Cornelia to delay Xiao Ran in the 19th district. The only way I could think of.

But Xiao Ran saw through her plan at a glance, and revealed it without any shame, which also made Cornelia's mood quite complicated.

Xiao Ran didn't care about Cornelia's thoughts at this time, and after clearly telling Cornelia that it was impossible to get stuck here because of this, he didn't think about what kind of reply this woman with a complicated heart could give, so he shook his head After saying one last sentence, he turned around and left the command center.

"The only way to maintain the 19th district now is to let the Scarlet Knights invest more power in the battle, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to maintain the 19th district, and I can't change it from a macro perspective with my own strength alone. The state of the nineteenth district, unless you think that I can completely wipe out the military power of the EU and the rebel organization on this continent by myself, but you should also understand that this is impossible, and it is impossible for me to stay in the Here, and once I leave, no matter how many advantages I get before, it will be recaptured by the EU and the rebel organization in the shortest possible time."

"In the end, although this sentence may make you feel sad, I can't change my decision because of your current thoughts. I hope you can understand, and I hope you can respond to me correctly, no matter what Said that we are all in the same group now and have a close relationship, I don't want to interfere with your thoughts, but I also hope that you can sincerely stand by my side."

The complex emotions in Cornelia's heart did not affect Xiao Ran, and it is impossible for Xiao Ran to give up the idea of ​​overthrowing Charles because of Cornelia's inner suffering.

The shadow left in her heart will become more and more clear. Although it will not reach the level of brainwashing, and it is impossible to make Cornelia's heart disregard family affection and choose to betray Charles, but at least it will gradually make her Cornelia slowly approached Xiao Ran's direction from her thoughts, and finally chose not to help the two "important" people, but for Xiao Ran, all this was enough, right? Nelia's attitude of not helping each other.

This attitude will be very important to the entire Butaria military. This attitude of non-expression will often convey another message to the outside world, that is, Cornelia supports the overthrow of Charles, and it will also make other regions During the coup, I chose to wait and see to ensure stability. If Cornelia was willing to help during the coup, that would be another small surprise.

As for District 19? For Xiao Ran, this place has no function or meaning at all. I am afraid that it is also a troublesome place for the Scarlet Knights, the only participant in the empire. They don't pay much attention to this place at all, otherwise How could it be possible that only a small number of members were placed in the 19th district? At this time, facing the attacks of the EU and the rebel organization, there is only one option to retreat. Even the so-called improvement of the situation is evenly matched. Didn't really hold up for too long.

It should be known that these participating legions who have joined the forces also have the goal of maintaining the territory of the current forces. Expansion can get more mission completion or rewards, and losing the territory will also deduct the legion The scores obtained, and even so, the Scarlet Knights did not invest more power in the nineteenth district.

Cherry stone resources were restricted by Charles, and the failure to unlock the real high-level machine body was certainly one of the reasons. However, it is completely understandable that they could not achieve rapid development in the early stage after joining a centralized royal power like Butaria. After all, how many cherry stone resources can be obtained depends entirely on the face of Butaria's current head Charles, and in order to obtain more cherry stone resources normally, the Scarlet Knights have already done a lot. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Charles to attach importance to the Scarlet Knights to the present level, and he was even more worried that the Scarlet Knights' prestige was too high and he would send Xiao Ran to suppress them.

The reason is that Charles is too suspicious, but it is very normal for a country like Butaria to be suspicious of those in power. Corgi of the Scarlet Knights is not a fool. Their distrust is also because they are looking for ways to obtain more Cherry Stones, whether they obtain them by themselves or pretend to be loyal to Charles, or obtain them through threats, transactions, etc. Sooner or later, the Scarlet Knights will Occupying one-third of the world's area, Butaria, which has 70% of the cherry stone resource output, will inevitably develop rapidly. It is difficult before it is easy, which means the Scarlet Knights.

Now that the Scarlet Knights' performance in the nineteenth district is not good, the second reason why they don't want to put in too much effort is this, but the really important reason is actually another one.

A small nineteenth district, mainly composed of deserts, wastelands and rocky mountains, there is no place where cherry stones are produced, but there are Scarlet Knights, the EU participant legion, and the resistance army participant legion three A participant legion appeared, and three legions competed for an area. For the current Scarlet Knights, this was simply a place where investment outweighed benefits, threats outweighed benefits, and they were still two legions that could develop without limit. The well-developed Scarlet Knights are of course unwilling to bump into it foolishly. They just send a certain amount of force to maintain the current situation and protect Cornelia.

Because the Scarlet Knights can deploy more manpower in other places and dispatch the main force to areas that are not so complicated. The entire Butaria occupies one-third of the earth, and the borderline can be said to be very large. The territory lost in the 19th District can be recovered through other places, and besides the 19th District, the achievements of the Scarlet Knights in many border theaters can also be said to be quite good. The area can be found in other places. The Scarlet Knights are not at all anxious about the situation in the 19th district, and it is completely acceptable for the Scarlet Knights to throw them all away.

Perhaps even Corky thinks that there is no need for the 19th district to exist at all. If it is not necessary to do enough work, there is such an important person as Cornelia here, and there are arrangements and orders from Charles, Corky probably will not be able to survive. He would never send his own people to the chaotic and troublesome place of the 19th District, and took the initiative to fight against the other two participants in the early stage.

The Scarlet Knights, a legion with missions, don't care about the 19th District, let alone Xiao Ran, who is not really with Butaria from the beginning to the end, and even less cares about the situation in the 19th District. Anyway, there is nothing important here. Resources, from time to time in Cornelia's ears, proposed to withdraw from the 19th District. This was already completely objectively persuaded, and it was a rational analysis from the standpoint of the Knights of the Round Table, but Cornelia refused to listen. He chose to stay stubborn and didn't want to say anything more.

With the current relationship between him and Cornelia, there is really no love, love, and similar feelings. It is completely a coincidence, and it is more of Cornelia's initiative, but anyway, he Xiao Ran He also used GEASS on Cornelia, and the reason was still on him. After all, what happened, Cornelia can be regarded as his Xiao Ran label, and now he proposes a proposal for Cornelia that can The only way to maintain the situation is to let more people from the Scarlet Knights come here, which is the only thing Xiao Ran can do for the time being.

Xiao Ran will not force Cornelia to leave the 19th District, but it does not mean that he will drive the Soul Slayer to sweep the entire 19th District, and give Cornelia back the two areas that were originally captured That kind of thing is meaningless, and it will make Xiao Ran face more participants and increase the chance of his identity being exposed. The most important thing is that even if Xiao Ran takes those places back, Cornelia will not be able to hold them at all. , Want the Scarlet Knights to desperately maintain it? This is simply not possible.

It's better to keep the current situation and stick to it, and then try to make special arrangements for the situation here after the dust in Butaria settles. As for whether Cornelia can understand that Xiao Ran asked her to take back her strength and leave here again. Xiao Ran felt that Cornelia should understand the meaning of the plan, but for the glory of the so-called empire, from Cornelia's standpoint, it seemed that there was no room for choice, because the empire could not accept such a huge If you fail, what can you do?

In order to maintain the glory, it is only natural that we can only reinforce the 19th district. As for the empire, Charles wants to let the Scarlet Knights invest more power in the 19th district. Next, of course, there will be another hello In exchange for my good interests, if I want the Scarlet Knights to invest more, how can Charles not pay more.

But for the Scarlet Knights to send more forces over, it would definitely be something that Corgi would not be willing to do. This could be regarded as Xiao Ran's little trick of the Scarlet Knights in order to get away.

Xiao Ran's departure made Cornelia's mood even more complicated. She propped her hands on the edge of the electronic sand table and looked around on the sand table with her eyes, but she didn't see any information on the sand table in her eyes at all. She just pretended to be With a serious look, he was distracted, and he didn't know where his thoughts flew.

In the end, Cornelia followed Xiao Ran's advice and contacted her own country. After the great advantage brought by Xiao Ran's actions a few days ago, the situation in the 19th District suddenly fell into a disadvantage. What happened around him, and directly reported the injury of a Knight of the Round Table to Emperor Charles, and then also proposed to Charles that he hoped to get more military support. It would be best if the Scarlet Knights sent more forces to come Nine districts.

After listening to Cornelia's report, Charles was also deep and silent for a while, unable to see the change in his expression. Charles didn't expect the situation in the 19th district to change so quickly, and it didn't take long. At that time, the entire nineteenth district fell into an absolute disadvantage again, and the enemy found an excellent way to trap Xiao Ran and deal with him.

But whether to send more forces, let the Scarlet Knights also send more powerful forces to the 19th District, this seems to be not too difficult a problem in Charles' mind, after all, Charles himself is a stronger than Cornelia Those who advocate more powerful force are more appraised of the theory of the weak and the strong. For those who resist, of course, they must choose iron and blood suppression to promote the force and strength of the empire. The 19th District is more related to Charles's real purpose. Where? It is possible to give up the 19th district so simply.

After being silent for a while, Charles taught Cornelia a little lesson in a calm and indifferent tone, and then promised to send more troops to the 19th District to deal with the current situation in the 19th District. In the end, he reminded Cornelia gently, telling Cornelia that she didn't want to hear about the ineffectiveness of the war in the 19th district.

Cornelia is also quite bitter in her heart. The ineffectiveness of the 19th District's war really can't be entirely blamed on her head. It's not her fault that the sharp power is not as good as the EU and the resistance organization, but Cornelia Ya didn't explain anything, and gave Charles an affirmative answer seriously.

Then, Cornelia made another request to Charles, that is, she hoped that Xiao Ran could become the governor of the 19th district. She would assist Xiao Ran as a deputy and monitor Xiao Ran's work in the 19th district.
