The King of Knights in a Different World

She took back the cards she just dropped, full of fighting spirit.

"Cut! Whoever asks you to come here, I will forgive you this time.

Come on, you cheating woman, bear my wrath."

Not knowing if it was his own illusion, Lucifer felt that Al's whole body seemed to be burning together.

"It's terrible! It's terrible! I feel like I'm going to burn."

Anna directly expressed this feeling at this time.

"My turn, draw cards."

In this way, under the encouragement of the two, they started their second round 22.

no.167 geographical dislocation

On the wide main street, the smell of sea water can already be faintly smelled at this time.

Looking at the city in front of him, Lucifer felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Edinburgh in previous life memories seems to be the capital of Scotland, but now it has become a city with alleys.

Looking around, the pedestrians on the streets here are mostly businessmen. The previous pirate attack was temporarily defeated by Drake, and the city was not affected too much. What was really affected were the alleys, and those... ..The merchants who are about to go to sea.

Lucifer led the knights all the way forward, and came to the alley by the sea.

Looking around, it is a blue sea and blue sky.

Seabirds flew by in the distance, and dozens of huge warships were docking at the entrance of the alley.

On this continent dominated by inland, it was the first time for Lucifer to see the sea of ​​this world, as well as the navy of this world.

Before that, Lucifer also did a lot of homework.

The sea battles in this world are similar to those in the age of great voyages in memory. Most of them use black powder cannons, but magic formulas are added to the ammunition.

When hearing this for the first time, Lucifer still had the feeling that he wanted to develop gunpowder.

But on second thought, this idea was directly discarded.

Even Kiritsugu in the middle uses the gun of the later generations: there is no threat to the servants, let alone the extremely unstable black powder.

It would be nice to have a nuclear bomb or something, but unfortunately it is almost impossible to play like this due to the generation gap between industrial levels.

Besides, the world in the previous life developed science only when there was no magic.

With such a convenient thing as magic, who would play science.

Even Hohenheim's research is magic, not real science.

After entering the fortress, Lucifer brought his guards to the military hall of the fortress, at this time several main generals of the fortress were already waiting here.

The leader is a bold and unrestrained woman with a scar on her face, she is the commander of this navy, Drake.

These people were supposed to be directly under Semiramis, but after Semiramis was promoted to prime minister, they became part of the national power of Britain.

After they saw Lucifer, they immediately saluted Lucifer.

After a short self-introduction and opening remarks, Lucifer directly entered the topic.

"Generals, tell me the current situation."

Others thought of looking at each other, and they all motioned to the director here to explain.

"There are three pirate kings we are facing now, Edward the Blackbeard with the Queen Anne's Revenge as his flagship, David the Devil with the Flying Dutchman as his flagship, and Evil the Bloodaxe with the Gunhildr as his flagship." Rick."

Drake names the opponents they are currently facing.

In fact, there are not only these few pirates on this sea, but only these three around Britain.

Hearing this, Lucifer's expression revealed amusement.

"Pirate King"

"That's what they call themselves, just like the pirate kings that appeared in Britain before, but this time they became the pirate kings."

Drake immediately explained the situation.

Unlike Lucifer who is the active knight king, these pirates usually give themselves a nickname or something in order to recruit younger brothers more easily, or to intimidate each other.

Also known as the Pirate King.

Although this title is a joke to others.

"Give yourself such a cool title, are they still planning to hold some kind of One Piece conference to choose a One Piece or something?"

Lucifer said calmly.

His words provoked a burst of laughter from Drake.

"Haha, I heard that this really happened.

But their strengths are equal, and no one will obey the other.

So in the end it’s over.”

"How strong are they?"

"Currently, Blackbeard's fleet is the largest.

There are twenty-three boats in total.

The crew add up to thousands.

David the Devil, the Flying Dutchman, had only ten ships, but this... sea monster's ships were all very powerful.

The last is Eric the Bloodaxe. He should be the strongest among the three. He has nineteen ships in total. We have sunk three of them, and now there are sixteen. Very average."

"Together there are forty-nine ships.

How much do we have"

"Originally there were forty, but one sank in the previous battle, two more need major repairs, and four need minor repairs. Overall, there are only thirty-seven that can be used in subsequent battles."

Drake fluently stated his combat strength.

Of course, things like ships should not only be compared in quantity, but also in quality and quality of sailors.

In fact, most of the pirate's ships are only in quantity and the quality is very poor.

"Is the difference in quantity reduced by three to one?"

"Don't worry, king, our sailors are definitely better than those pirates."

"I believe in your abilities.

But because of this, I don't want my soldiers to waste their lives because of these pirates.

This time it's just a battle, not a war at all, I don't want too many casualties.

Is there anything else?"

"There is one more point that may need attention"

"explain."

"I heard that they seem to be planning to cooperate with the Kraken. If this is true, then we must prepare accordingly for the subsequent battle."

Drake shared another piece of current news.

This is also the news she heard recently from the captured pirates. Although she doesn't know whether the news is true or not, since she heard it, she can't ignore it...

.

"Kraken..."

Lucifer remembered that the most famous sea monster in this world seemed to be a mermaid with a human upper body and a fish lower body.

A short writer wrote a story about mermaids because their first love was mermaids.

But the real thing is, these...mermaids are very cruel in the sea.

Rumor has it that although they don't eat people, they can use: singing to sink pedestrians' boats.

Among them, the attractive men will be pulled to breed, and the unattractive ones will become bait, attracting carnivorous fish, and they will catch these fish and make them their own food.

Occasionally, Lucifer heard the master talk about these... the sea monster, and at this time he couldn't help but miss the master's knowledge base.

Seeing Lucifer deep in thought, Drake thought that Lucifer didn't know much about sea monsters, so she continued to help popularize science.

"They can be said to be magicians of the sea, they can use their beautiful singing to attract the target, and then pull them into the sea.

People who travel by sea would rather meet pirates than them."

"Whether it's true or not, prepare for the worst about the siren.

What's the current situation in the alley?"

Lucifer has not been entangled in the issue of the sea monster for too long.

This question cannot be reached once.

"It's very stable at the moment, but it's only in the alley.

Now because those three guys joined together for unknown reasons, commercial shipping cannot be carried out normally.

If this continues, businessmen may panic.

The city in front of me is a city that mainly communicates with business, and we must not let them block the door for a long time."

Drake looked out at the sea through the window, her voice worried.

no.168 Shoot them into the sea and feed them to the fish (ask for tickets, ask for custom order)

Even this lady whom Semiramis called bold and unrestrained had such an expression, Lucifer probably guessed how much she was annoyed by those pirates.

"You should have thought of a way to defeat them before.

How's the effect?"

"Those guys seem to be smarter this time, when I take the initiative to attack one side, the other two sides will also come to support.

It is also impossible for me to take the risk of being attacked from three sides and just temporarily retreat to the entrance of the alley. Originally, we had arranged a plan to lure them to take the initiative to attack, and we relied on the firepower of the fortress to completely defeat them."

Drake went on to describe their plans.

"The results of it"

"As a result, those guys stopped chasing after seeing us back.

They were not like this before, could it be that they ate too much sea fish, and their brains suddenly became: "Okay."

And that's what's weird about Drake.

Most of these pirates are hot-blooded guys. Sometimes once they see their prey biting the hook, they will chase desperately, even if they have entered the trap, they will not notice it.

But this time, they suddenly became calm, and this style of painting made Drake feel a little wrong.

Regarding this, Lucifer is... not surprised.

"There should be someone behind the scenes advising them.

The three of them act together, and if there is no middleman, they will make trouble themselves.

Let alone attack."

Not surprisingly, Rome should have sent someone there.

Otherwise, if only money is given, these pirates will not be rebellious.

The pirates these days are more like mercenaries than... pirates.

Thinking of this, Lucifer continued.

"So, I mean.

At present, we should focus on stabilizing the situation at the alley, and find a way to investigate their middleman. As long as this person is killed, they will become a mess.

Time to clean them up slowly."

"Good idea! I agree.

Just what to do after that"
