Chapter 2526 comprehensive conflict
Xiao Ran gave the matter of receiving and arranging the Roaring Lion Legion to Lelouch with full authority. When the Roaring Lion Legion refused to participate in the war with Eu, Xiao Ran originally wanted to use the Roaring Lion Legion as Butaria, and the plan to forcibly intervene and terminate the war in the short term could no longer continue. For Xiao Ran, the Roaring Lion Legion had no effect near the 19th District. It would be better to throw it directly to Lelouch for arrangements. As for Lelouch's other plans, Xiao Ran did not ask more about it. Now with the joining of the Roaring Lion Legion, although it cannot be used in the 19th District, there are still many places for them to play.
Without the Roaring Lion Army, the task of continuing to put pressure on the eu side still has to continue. On the premise that the action cannot be taken directly against the eu local area, the war in the 19th District is the only place where the energy of the eu participants can be diverted. The consumption of the combat power here, and even solving the opponent's participants is a way to gradually accumulate advantages.
However, the eu side suddenly shrank the front line and did not leave any chance for Butaria to attack. This was definitely the case that Serleus of the Roaring Lion Legion informed the eu side and made preparations in advance. This was not a good thing worthy of praise for Butaria, and it also brought some unnecessary trouble for Xiao Ran.
If the person who defeated Selleus was not Xiao Ran, but was replaced by Emperor Charles who could gather the entire Butaris' power, then Selleus's actions would definitely be hated by Charles, but those who accepted all this became Xiao Ran. Although Xiao Ran would have some small complaints about this, he could indeed fully accept Selleus' choice in his heart, and would not blame Selleus for such a problem.
After leaving Serleus' base, Lelouch did not return to Zone 11, but moved into the base controlled by the Blood Knights at this time, so as to facilitate communication and arrangements with Serleus, and assist the Roaring Lions in gradually disappearing from this continent. The specific arrangements were reported to Xiao Ran, so that Xiao Ran could clearly know the arrangements and whereabouts of the Roaring Lions next. However, it would not take a few days to complete the Roaring Lions completely withdraw from this area.
As for the target, it was Lelouch who placed it in Southeast Asia, a place with equally chaotic current situation, which is even more chaotic than the African continent where the 19th District is located. It almost crossed a continent from the southernmost point of the African continent. However, since the goal has been decided, when the Roaring Lion Army cannot move as a whole, it will first send some people to inquire about information and find a suitable location as a base.
Butaria, without the worries of the rebels, she could focus all her main energy on the eu side. At the beginning, she did send a lot of troops to receive and rectify the territory left by the rebels, which led to a lack of military strength. However, a few days later, a batch of new reinforcements came in the 19th District, which completely solved the problem of insufficient troops due to the expansion of the territory, and then a larger-scale military conflict broke out with the eu side.
The large-scale military conflict between the two sides directly led to the sound of artillery fire on the front line from day to night, from night to day, and never stopped. None of the sides had any concessions. From wilderness to desert, from desert to cities, from cities to ruins, fighting was everywhere. On one side, they had no choice but to retreat. Once they continued to retreat, they were likely to completely lose the voice of this continent, while on the other side, they were pursuing victory and trying to take over the entire continent in one go.
As the main force of the war between the two sides, at this time, it is not the small number of participants, but ordinary soldiers belonging to two countries. The same ordinary soldiers who died in the war are also the same. Only these most common soldiers can derive the outbreak of battle to every place under a large scale.
And those participants, whether they are participants in the EU or participants in the Blood Knights, although they have the strength, but there are still a few who have the ability to truly change the situation. Even if ordinary participants have more powerful power than ordinary people, they are also very likely to capsize in the face of a huge number and be tangled to death.
So under such circumstances, fewer participants actually appear in frontal wars. Participants on both sides chose harassment and special operations in such wars. I destroyed your supply line, you destroyed my material warehouse, and many conflicts broke out under this same choice.
Participants who are truly brave enough to appear on the front battlefield are also people who have great confidence in their own strength, such as Corgi. However, no matter which side of them appears on the front battlefield, they will not only receive extraordinary treatment as soon as possible, but also participants from the other side will also appear on the battlefield.
After repeated conflicts, ordinary soldiers suffered greater losses. After all, ordinary soldiers were really only a target for pilots of Corgi's level. But if they attack ordinary enemy soldiers, the enemy would also do the same. This is why the participants appeared on the front battlefield at the beginning, which led to more casualties.
Later, the two sides may have learned lessons and no longer use ordinary soldiers to entangle participants. It evolves into a direct collision between participants and participants. As long as participants on one side win, it often means that the battle has won. However, the victory will not always stay on one side. Both sides suffer losses in such wars, but there are indeed very few participants who really sacrifice in the loss, because once they fall into a disadvantage, they will choose to retreat without hesitation.
In such a conflict, Xiao Ran did not join in. Although it took him only two or three days to send it back to Xiao Ran's hand to the demon Caesar of the Blood Knights, Xiao Ran did not personally go into battle like he did before dealing with the rebels, but instead stood firm in the command center to command the massive war.
With Cornelia's ability and character, although she has enough ability to command a war, the scale of the war now has far exceeded Cornelia's ability. The conflict with Eu this time swept over more than half of the African continent. Although it is a bit hurtful, Cornelia, who is used to treating herself as a warrior, does not have the qualified ability to command a war of this scale.
The war broke out in a very sudden way. Eu had already retreated. Xiao Ran just hoped to rely on the power of some 19th zones and the Blood Knights to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible, and use harassment or destruction to kill them. Just like boiling a frog in warm water, it can weaken the opponent's strength, and allow the opponent to send more participants when ordinary power is no longer enough to resist, thereby tying up the opponent's energy here. The most important thing is that in such a slow way, Xiao Ran can gain enough time.
However, when Cornelia had no request at all, Charles took the initiative to gather a force of three times more than all the forces in the 19th District. A new order directly broke Xiao Ran's original arrangement, and so many troops were stationed in, it also showed a life-and-death attitude to eu, which even angered eu, and suddenly a full-scale conflict broke out.
Charles' order was to defeat the rebels' current pursuit and completely drive eu out of this continent. At the least, it was necessary to squeeze the living environment of eu on this continent to a minimum. This was a clear order. Even though Xiao Ran was unwilling to do so, he was forcibly tied to the ship by those sudden reinforcements, which made Xiao Ran have to temporarily act according to Charles' wishes.
Fortunately, Charles sent so many troops to come, and indeed gave Eu a huge threat and urgency, putting a lot of energy here. Those who had a lot of extra participants in the war clearly explained this problem. At least the purpose of this point has been achieved.
It just made Xiao Ran worry a lot. First, he really couldn't take much time to leave here in the current situation in the 19th District. The command of the entire battle situation relies entirely on him to advance step by step as he has a slight advantage, but it will not make the eu side anxious and can only accept the rhythm of daily losses. If someone changes to command, it will be easy to break the current balance, and maybe the advantage will be reversed directly to a disadvantage.
Second, Xiao Ran was also worried that a comprehensive conflict between the participants on both sides might break out. Now that he lacks the right power, he cannot intervene well in such a conflict, and he cannot intervene in the name of the Black Knights. Moreover, once such a conflict breaks out, although eu cannot get it well, the Blood Knights will probably suffer great losses. This is something Xiao Ran doesn't want to see, so he always tries his best to maintain the balance of the entire battle situation. Sometimes he even deliberately throws out some bait to eu so that the other party can touch the local victory.
But the focus of both is time. Xiao Ran needs time to go to District 11. As long as he goes to District 11 and solves the body problem, all the problems will not be a problem. Who knew that Charles would suddenly do this and completely disrupt his arrangements, which made him unable to live without District 19 now.
A few days passed, a week passed, and every day Xiao Ran was dragged in the command center and didn't even have much rest time. He simply arranged his place to live in his office. Sometimes, suddenly, EU took action, and Xiao Ran had to get up immediately without affecting the overall situation to send a suitable team to deal with the problem. The situation was as good as Xiao Ran's command, but if you only look at the numbers, you can only describe it in two words. It was tragic.
No matter the loss and sacrifice of personnel, countless soldiers were killed and disabled in various battles, and the consumption of materials was extremely terrifying. The soldiers on the front line were bathed in danger every day, but even the soldiers who were replenishing supplies could not tell when several missiles would appear on their heads. Even the staff at the back were at risk at all times.
Cornelia did not go to the front line, and was in the command center like Xiao Ran every day, but she was doing her job to assist Xiao Ran. Every day, as the numbers on the damage report changed again and again, Cornelia's expression on her face became worse and worse. She had a smile at the beginning, but in the next few days, all that was left was heavy, exhausted and heartache.
Finally, Cornelia broke into Xiao Ran's office one night, closed the door heavily and looked at Xiao Ran, who was naked, and threw the report in his hand on Xiao Ran, gritting his teeth and said: "The losses in the past few days have exceeded all the losses during the period when the integration of the 19th District was integrated. We cannot continue like this. We must find a way to change the current situation. The casualties of frontline personnel are too great. Whether it is Butaria or Eu, it is also more and more combat power. If this continues, Butaria may have problems."
"You...you...can't use the lives of these ordinary soldiers to consume the opponent's combat power."
"I didn't." Xiao Ran slowly picked up the reports scattered on the ground, stood up and walked to Cornelia: "I didn't do this. I don't know why you looked at me like this, but I never planned to use the lives of ordinary soldiers to consume the opponent's strength. The Blood Knights who are truly the main force to weaken the opponent have always been the Blood Knights. This situation only occurs because the scale of the war has become larger and larger. Now this situation is something I never thought of at the beginning. It comes too fast and too hurry."
Cornelia gritted her teeth and said, "But it is the fact that now. Even if you don't think so, you have been avoiding this situation. But the fact has developed into a complete war of attrition. No matter how you must solve the current problem. If you want to accept Butaria, you are not willing to accept Butaria, which has caused more chaos and become riddled with holes due to a war."
Xiao Ran let out a sigh of relief and pondered: "I understand that I have been looking for such opportunities, but the opponent's defense has no weakness at all. Even if I can go on the battlefield personally, the opponent can gather all his strength to launch an attack here regardless of the cost. Now the top leaders of both sides are actually maintaining a tacit understanding and not investing the strongest power in it. I can break this tacit understanding, but I need time and lack things."
