Chapter 2488: Charles' internal and external troubles

Although Xiao Ran has always been in the capital, seemingly idle and staying with the logistics and technical department of Soul Slayer every day, he also maintains continuous attention to all events in the 11th district, and he contacts Saki almost every day. , As short as a few minutes, as long as tens of minutes, used to understand all the conditions in the 11th district, but rarely interfere with things about the 11th district, just remind Saki to pay more attention to protect Yufei Leah, a kind girl who is just as important to the next plan.
As for Lelouch’s side, perhaps he also wanted to train this kid. Xiao Ran did not interfere with everything about the Black Knights. Xiao Ran didn’t even bother about the actions of the Black Knights in the Eleventh District. Just contact from time to time to confirm the extent of Lulu Xiu's control of the cherry stone mining area and how many cherry stones he has collected.
In addition to the Eleventh District, Xiao Ran is also concerned about the situation outside Butaria. The content of attention is mainly the changes in the situation between countries and the changes in the battle situation in the Butaria border area, but the real focus is still those Participants who have begun to gradually change the situation of the entire world battlefield use not too detailed information and some clues to slowly speculate on the current status of each legion and the strategic forces that can be produced.
Every day, it is the situation that seems to be leisurely. Finally, one day, Xiao Ran received a notice to let him go to the palace to see Emperor Charles.
After receiving the notice, Xiao Ran didn't waste any time. At the reminder of the attendant, he changed into a brand-new knight uniform and sat in the vehicle that came to pick him up. It didn't take long before he entered the palace and left again. After passing the long passage, I saw Emperor Charles again in the same hall, which seemed to have not been seen for a long time.
Seeing Charles again, he was still sitting on the throne above the high platform in a majestic and solemn manner. Xiao Ran, who walked to the stage, also did all the etiquette that should be done as a courtier, lifting his right hand and pressing his left chest lightly. Slightly bent over: "I have seen your Majesty the Emperor, Good day, Your Majesty."
Charles waved his hand gently, and said calmly without any fluctuations in his emotions: "No need to be polite, please get up my second knight."
"Your Majesty Xie." Xiao Ran stood up.
Charles glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "Fortunately, Knight Lelouch has cooperated with the imperial technicians during this period of time. I have heard reports that the technical department has almost mastered the current station called Soul Slayer. The situation of the machine, and Knight Lelouch, you are already completely familiar with that machine, right?"
Xiao Ran replied respectfully: "Yes, your Majesty, after this period of familiarity, not only the technical department has gradually mastered the logistics and maintenance technology of Soul Slayer, but I have also become thoroughly familiar with that machine, and I am confident enough to handle it. The full performance of the machine is fully utilized."
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 slightly, and said: "From the current situation, if you need to understand and analyze the Soul Slayer more, you need to actually let the Soul Slayer enter the battlefield. To collect the battlefield performance of the Soul Slayer and more combat parameters, if you want to understand the body in a deeper step, it is completely impossible to do it only by the current test on the dead. Only on the battlefield can you get more information ."
"Since you already know, then you should have been prepared long ago." Charles nodded and continued: "Calling you to come here is to inform you that the investigation team has been prepared, and the logistics and technical department is also preparing to complete it. Three days later You are about to leave the capital. You shouldn't forget the things you have said before."
Xiao Ran bent down again: "Yes, I am ready to serve the empire at any time, and I will never forget the tasks that His Majesty has given me. I will definitely cooperate with the investigation team, and at the same time re-erect Your Majesty and the round table in each side area. The prestige of the knights suppresses the influence of the Scarlet Knights on all sides."
"Very good." Charles was very satisfied with Xiao Ran's answer and respect for himself. This can be seen from his unconcealed expression of satisfaction. He glanced at Xiao Ran again and asked: "How sure are you to do it? To the task I arranged for 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 squinted his eyes: "Do you know that the current situation in the border area 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, but if it weren't for the strong support of the Scarlet Knights. , Maybe the empire has already lost at least three numbers. The Scarlet Knights have now become the most indispensable force in the border area. The task I have given you is not easy to complete."
"And now among the enemies that are opposing the empire, 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 once again surpasses the Scarlet Knights? Even your body is also provided by the Scarlet Knights. Driving their body do you think you can Is it more useful than the Scarlet Knights?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran replied decisively without hesitation, and said: "Because I am stronger than them. I have already demonstrated this in previous battles. Even if I drive the same body, I can still perform better. Their stronger power, even if the Scarlet Knights have the same soulslayer and a more powerful body than the Soulslayer, I can step on the Scarlet Knights on my feet forever."
"Very good." Charles once again showed a satisfied expression, and said: "I am curious, what kind of power that Soul Slayer has, and what can you do with that Soul Slayer."
When Xiao Ran faced Charles’s question, he was silent for a while, perhaps deliberately or thinking, but after a few seconds Xiao Ran gave Charles his own reply: "If your Majesty has read the logistic and technical department submitted The report, that your Majesty must know that the power of the soul slayer is absolutely the topmost layer of the pyramid in the combat weapons shown in the world today. It is huge in shape, extremely flexible, powerful in destructive power, and capable of flying. In addition to the shortcomings of long-range attacks, it is difficult to describe it as excellence in every aspect. It should not be an exaggeration to call it the strongest."
"It’s up to me to drive the Soul Slayer. I can bring out all the performance of the Soul Slayer. If I have to compare it with an example... The Soul Slayer I drove can completely eliminate all the Knights of the Round Table. He led the entire fully configured KF army, and the time will not exceed sixty minutes."
"When driving this machine, I am even sure that I can single-handedly capture 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 defeat all military forces in Butaria."
Charles' eyes suddenly narrowed, and the expression on his face became a little heavy, and his voice was slightly heavy and said: "Are you sure what you said?"
"Yes, your Majesty, I can be sure of every word I say." Xiao Ran nodded and said in a deep voice: "Because of this, the Scarlet Knights that can hand over the Soul Slayer without hesitation should still be in control. With a more powerful force, being able to take out a body like the Soul Slayer, it cannot be said that they do not pay much attention to the Soul Slayer. After all, this is a body with a powerful force, but it can be said that they are not enough for the Soul Slayer. Pay attention."
"In other words, there may be other soulslayers in the hands of the Scarlet Knights, and they will not be one or two, and there may even be more than five, and in the hands of the Scarlet Knights, there must be more soulslayers. The more powerful and terrifying body exists, so the true strength of the Scarlet Knights cannot be underestimated, but even more 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 contend with the Scarlet Knights and can suffer from the Scarlet Knights may also have a body that is as powerful as the Soul Slayer or even a stronger body. In the end, there will be a certain limit to what I can do, but fortunately, this limit will not be met in a short time, but the power of the Scarlet Knights is indeed temporarily indispensable for the empire."
"So to what extent the Scarlet Knights must be suppressed, to make them feel afraid, to feel the power of the empire, and to enable them to concentrate on doing things for the empire, and not to have resentment and betray the empire. I dare not measure the middle. Beyond, I also hope that your majesty can give a reminder."
"But if your Majesty decides to completely suppress the Scarlet Knights, I will do my best to complete all the tasks arranged by your Majesty, and your Majesty does not have to worry too much about the Scarlet Knights rebelling, because even if the Scarlet Knights do have a stronger body, But I can also maximize the performance of the Soul Slayer, reaching more than 250% of the performance under normal conditions. I believe this should be able to have the most powerful force in an organization similar to the Scarlet Knights. The power of war."
Charles closed his eyes. It didn't seem that what Xiao Ran said had caused him too much fluctuation, but in his heart he was not as calm as he seemed on the outside, and many things Xiao Ran said were the same as Charles. I have thought that the Soul Slayer will definitely not be the most powerful body of the Scarlet Knights, because the most powerful body of the Scarlet Knights will definitely not be willing to take it out, so now even if there is a Xiao Ran who has been as powerful as the Soul Slayer The body does not necessarily become an opponent of the Scarlet Knights, it can only exist as a banner and a tool of checks and balances.
The internal and external troubles are the best illustration of the empire today. Butaria looks so strong and peaceful now. It has been on the outside as if to occupy the entire earth, but in fact, even Butaria has been as strong as it is today. It is still impossible to eliminate all other countries from occupying the entire planet, but it can also maintain all the advantages because of this strength.
But suddenly, the situation of the whole world suddenly changed. Numerous powerful organizations suddenly appeared from different places in the world, and then began to resist the empire. The power of these organizations was very powerful, but they were inexplicably harmonious. The empire began to fight against it, just like the heavens deliberately let these organizations appear to prevent Butaria from attacking the entire earth and preventing him from Charles from realizing his dream. Once, twice, three times, again and again, the empire suffered a loss and repelled even more. After the empire's many counterattacks, he saw through many traps, and the first time he almost killed his excellent daughter in their hands.
These organizations that suddenly jumped out to join those opposing the empire, oppressed from all directions so that the empire was unable to advance, and could only defend the area it currently occupied, and this defender did not know how many excellent empires had been sacrificed. soldier.
From the very beginning, UU reading www.uukanshu.com faced these powerful organizations that suddenly jumped out. The empire was still a battle force, but gradually the power exposed by these organizations became stronger and stronger, letting the empire’s force It was hard to fight, but at this moment, the Scarlet Knights appeared and actively joined the empire. It is precisely because of the addition of the Scarlet Knights that the empire has the power to counter those inexplicable organizations and gradually stabilized. A situation of total defeat.
However, the time when the Scarlet Knights appeared was too coincidental, and Charles was full of mistrust of the Scarlet Knights from the beginning, but he couldn't do without the help of the Scarlet Knights, and the Scarlet Knights possessed a powerful force. It's not like working for the empire wholeheartedly, the completely untrustworthy Scarlet Knights have become an internal worry again, worrying that they will do something unfavorable to the empire and Charles.
All of these actually made Charles feel a headache, but fortunately, a lot of good news appeared one after another in the 11th district. The first is the emergence of a new generation of Lancelot, and Charles first saw something that can get rid of the right The possibility of the Scarlet Knights' reliance, and then the start of a brand-new plan for the body, allowed Charles to see the possibility of gaining power beyond the Scarlet Knights, but from the current perspective, even if a body like Lancelot is specially made for mass production, It is also difficult to truly compete with the level of power of the Scarlet Knights.
