The King of Knights in a Different World

With one blow, Anseth's face was swollen and his whole body rubbed more than ten meters on the ground before barely stopping. He stood up and spit out a few **** teeth from his mouth.

"Want to kill me? Just rely on them! If it weren't for that stupid prince, do you think you can win?" In the words, his voice had already begun to break from the blow just now.

"Without your stupid prince, I can win, I'm not sure. But for you now, there is absolutely no possibility of winning." Lucifer walked slowly towards the knight in front of him step by step.

With each step, the pressure in Anseth's heart is a little bit heavier. His hand holding the sword was already trembling.

"Where is the marshal, where did he go? Did you catch him?" At this time, Anses asked the question he most wanted to know.

"If you are looking for the owner of this sword, I can send you to accompany him immediately." Lucifer threw out a broken sword and unexpectedly gave the answer he wanted.

"Marshal!" A sad expression appeared on Anses' face.

Lothar had an appreciation for him. If it weren't for Lothar, he might still be just an excellent knight, and could not be one of the twelve knights. Even with outstanding talents, in this age of nobility, being good is sometimes far less convincing than blood and family.

Before they set out, they thought that this war would allow their names to be remembered by the people of France forever, but now they ended up like this. Is it something wrong? He asked himself this, but couldn't get the answer.

Anses' answer has nothing to do with Lucifer, and he doesn't want to know what the other party is thinking. But you have to correct your own mistakes.

"Thanks to you, I almost made an irreparable mistake. Now, I want to correct this mistake with my own hands." As he said, Lucifer's figure disappeared again.

When his figure appeared again, Lucifer's holy sword seemed to be transformed into countless phantoms.

The high-speed sword compresses the speed of swinging the sword to the extreme and produces afterimages. This is the sword skill he once killed hundreds of Losric knights with a single sword. Although because of the burden of this trick on his arm, he used to throw his hand away because of swinging a sword.

In the face of countless sword marks that looked like thunder, Anses was preparing to explode in the same way as Lothar by destroying the holy sword. However, before that...

"It's still the same thing after doing it for a long time, and you are just like that. I won't make the same mistake a second time. I'm very curious now, if you lose your body and the holy sword in your hand, what method do you want to blew yourself." Lucifer Take back the sword in your hand.

Anseth's figure broke like glass, and then fell to the ground piece by piece.

"I…"

At the last moment before his death, Anses saw his arm, but had separated from the Holy Sword. Even the way he saw Lucifer turned into an inverted image.

Why is he standing upside down? Why don't I feel the pain?

He didn't understand until the moment before he died, and he will never understand.

At this point, the twelve paladins once again disappeared. The death of Anses can be said to be the final blow to the now defeated French army. The successive deaths of the two coaches made them completely lose the idea of ​​resistance.

After a while, the news spread slowly among the defeated soldiers. When Piping heard the news, he only hated that he didn't have many legs. He could only subconsciously beat the tired horse under him. .

In the White Rock Fortress, seeing Lucifer's arrival, the defenders in the fortress opened the gate and joined the pursuit together. For a time, the entire battlefield was in unprecedented chaos. *

no.40 dozen? Why fight?

Under the leadership of Lucifer, the British army chased the French army for three days, and during this period they continued to wipe out the effective force of this army. Many French nobles simply surrendered when they were chased.

As more and more French people saw that surrender could save their lives, they all chose to surrender. The ensuing surrender troops totaled 40,000. Lucifer ordered Ziegfei to lead 10,000 to guard these unarmed prisoners, and he led the army to pursue them.

On the morning of the fourth day, the vanguard cavalry led by Lucifer will force the remaining 70,000 people in France to the Rhine, and the retreating bridge there has been destroyed in advance by Robin Hood sent by Lucifer.

The entire French army was besieged within a few kilometers of this area. Their food supplement has basically bottomed out, and it can be said that they have run out of ammunition and food. The most interesting thing is that it wasn't until the fourth day that Lucifer realized that he seemed to have caught a big fish.

The prince of France, Pepin, was captured by Gawain in the pursuit. However, in Gawain's words, he didn't actually do anything. He just saw a senior hapless guy who fell from a horse and was ready to catch him. It turned out to be the prince of France.

Hearing this, Lucifer once thought whether Gawain's lucky value had reached the legendary EX level.

Or maybe, this prince used a gun before? Suicide by the nickname?

In any case, since the last supreme commander was captured, Lucifer didn't have to worry that the French army by the river could organize resistance. But then Lucifer also understood why the number of surrenders reached an exaggerated 40,000.

The prince was taken hostage, and many troops related to it also chose to surrender. If the prince can't go back safely, their fate is probably already doomed.

After breakfast, Lucifer held another military meeting. Most of the senior generals who came in this time had expressions of joy. After all, they won a big victory, and now they only need to give each other a final blow.

Lucifer's call made them think they would continue to attack and annihilate the last French army. In fact, with Britain’s current military strength, it is not too difficult to achieve this. But with strong enemies from the east and north, Lucifer had to consider the issue from an international perspective.

"Wang, please wait for the attack. The French Legion in front of you is already vulnerable. As long as the final battle, they can disappear forever." Gawain first stood up.

Lucifer gave him the holy sword in the hands of the prince because of his previous deeds in catching the prince. Although he is still not familiar with the power of the holy sword, at least his confidence has greatly increased.

"You all have the same confidence as Gao Wenqing." Lucifer smiled and looked around. Except for Altria, who was standing behind him, most of the other knights had this expression.

"That's it, King. Then let these French iron skins take a good look at what the real knight is." The knight named Kai stood up and agreed. He is an up-and-coming knight in this battle, known for his strength.

"I have seen your fighting spirit. But for now, that's it. Victory is in our hands, and we don't need to waste the lives of our fellow citizens." Lucifer did not agree to their fight.

"Wang meant to wait until they had no food to surrender automatically?" Lancelot also thought of a possibility at this time.

"This is just one of the points. The opponent's current acting marshal is Flores Matt. Since he can continue to organize the defense with the deserters even when Peping has been arrested, it is enough to prove that he is a personal talent. If you launch an offensive now , They can definitely be defeated. However, the soldiers on the opposite side who have been forced into desperation are likely to have the idea of ​​dying with us because they are unable to retreat." Lucifer continued to talk about a certain possibility.

If the opponent had that kind of weak bone, he would have surrendered with those people before. But these people didn't. Except for some injured people, more people didn't want to surrender.

Whether it is for the glory of the so-called knight or for the country. They may all want to drag one into the water before death like the previous marshal. In a sense, they have no retreat, which is also an advantage.

This situation really resembles Han Xin's backguard. But, can you have Han Xin's talents?

"We will be afraid of them!" Kay said unconvincedly.

Lucifer looked at the knights in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. They are all knights, and it is still very difficult for them to turn around now. However, Lucifer didn't mind either.

"As I said, I don't want to waste the lives of soldiers because of this kind of thing. Besides, knights. You are all outstanding talents in the kingdom. I hope that you will have a more long-term vision in the future, instead of just staring at the area in front of you. Only by focusing on the overall situation can you be qualified to become the true commander of the army."

The situation has developed to the present, and the strategy set before has been half realized. The process was easier than expected, and Lucifer now needs to prepare for the next half.

"I will certainly not let down the king's expectations." The knights swore to Lucifer at the same time.

After returning to their senses, they quietly thought about the deep meaning of Lucifer's words, Lucifer didn't say anything, let them think. Even Leah started thinking together. So far, the knights here do not know the sinister situation on the other two sides.

"Wang mean, other countries?" Tristan said calmly after thinking of something.

"Cui Stanqing. Very good, I just finished talking, you immediately think of the key to the problem. That's right, it is other countries. Rome to the east, Ross to the north has already established the border. The enemy is not only France, if you are in Too many troops are lost here, and the situation after that will be very troublesome."

"However, if the offensive is not continued, it may give the French army a chance to regroup."

"There are already more than 40,000 soldiers who surrendered in France. We killed nearly 40,000 in the previous pursuit. At least 30,000 of the remaining 70,000 on the opposite side were injured. In this case, even if the army is reorganized, They also cannot face our 100,000 army. Besides, they have no supplies now, as long as they continue to exert pressure to prevent them from secretly crossing the river, they will automatically surrender in a few days." Lucifer told the current situation.

The current situation is very good. If the Anglo-French coalition forces of a certain era were blocked by a certain moustache in Dunkirk and it was possible to retreat, it is almost impossible with the current situation.

Not to mention the width of the Rhine in the back is several hundred meters, and there are no boats at all here, and they don't even have food. When the distance between the two armies is only a few hundred meters, they may be spotted as long as they make a big move.

Besides, Lucifer was prepared to ask the magician to greet the other side from time to time, and at the same time secretly prepared a thunder gun to prevent flying dragons from appearing. In this case, it is almost impossible to come back.

"I follow the king's judgment. It's just the king, what should we do next?" Gawain finally understood Lucifer's meaning. He now wants to continue to do his job well.

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

"Wait for French Prime Minister Bismarck to come over and talk to me about terms. Remember, keep your camp, don't attack, don't let them cross the river. This is your task now."

"Yes."

After that, Lucifer arranged the overall strategic direction and asked the knights to complete the details of the scope of their responsibility before letting them leave. There were only two people left in the big tent at this moment, and Lucifer let out a sigh of relief. *

no.41 coming-of-age ceremony (seeking tickets, flowers)

After the knights left, Lucifer took Altria and began to patrol the camp and encouraged morale.

After everything was over, Lucifer took her to an incomprehensible hillside. The breeze blows across the grass, bringing a hint of freshness. Here is in the battlefield, but it seems to be outside the battlefield.

Lucifer found a rock and sat down, and he motioned with his eyes to let Leah sit next to him. Altria had hesitated at first, she first looked around to make sure that no one saw this place, then slowly approached and sat down, but still did not dare to sit down.

Lucifer observes Altria's hesitation, and it feels very interesting. Maybe it's because the girl has no experience in love, or maybe the first object is the king she serves, and her mood is quite complicated.

The current Altria is full of hesitation and timidity unique to a girl, and she doesn't have the courage to stop the Holy Swordsman by riding alone before.

For this, Lucifer simply helped her. Taking advantage of the girl's hesitation, he directly grabbed Altria's hand and pulled her over.

"Hey! King!" Altria's expression was a little flustered as she approached.

"No one else here." Lucifer held her in his arms.

This young girl finally calmed down a bit, her expression was still a bit worried, but she meditated in her heart that she could not resist the king's order, so as to dispel the complicated feeling in her heart.

"But... if you are seen by others, your reputation will be..."

"Definitely? What will happen? It is rumored that the new king uses his power to molest his knights in his free time? Leah, as a family of knights, you should know the meaning of exclusive knights better than me, don't you." Lucifer Looking at the girl in her arms with a full smile.

The exclusive knight in this world is very special, belonging to the kind of knight who will only serve one person in his lifetime. Generally speaking, they are also called vow knights. It is with this particularity. If they are of the opposite sex, other people will also tacitly have an intimate relationship between them.

I heard that for a certain period of time, people of the same **** can also be misunderstood.

"The exclusive knight belongs to the king..., but it is still in the war. I am worried that other people will think that the king will be confused by me and affect the reputation of the king."

"You really are thinking about everything for me! Don't you worry at all that you will be stigmatized as a confidant?"

"The roots of troubles?"

In order to give the dumb-haired knight around him a little bit about what a beauty is a disaster, Lucifer told the story in his memory. That is a story of the country's death because of women. After listening, the girl fell into deep thought.

Lucifer said at this time.

"The rise and fall of the kingdom may be affected by one person, but that person is by no means the woman in the story. No matter how beautiful and exciting the female woman is, even like Helen in the Helen Federation, people will not hesitate to start a war for her. But the person who really makes the decision is always the king."

Compared to the so-called confession, Lucifer felt that it was just an excuse for later generations to forcibly throw it up. If it is a woman like Wu Zetian who caused the country to perish, it may be the responsibility of women, because she was the emperor at that time and ruled the world. But on the contrary, Empress Wu did not destroy the country, but created an era and passed it on to the next generation.

In contrast, those other disasters are more just dumped.

"Does Phil think everything should be pushed onto that woman?"

"I just think the people in the story are too incompetent. After choosing the path I want to take, I can't bear the weight of the road. In the end I like to shirk the responsibility of being king. If a beautiful woman can make a country , That can only prove the incompetence of the king on the throne." At this point, Lucifer remembered an incident before.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered, today is your birthday." Lucifer let go of Knight Ji. Asked seriously.

Altria's expression improved, she stood up and looked north.

"Well, if it weren't for Wang to mention it, I would almost have forgotten it. I will be sixteen after today. At this time in the past few years, I spent my birthday with my aunt. But now it's impossible. The same as before. Think about it, the days before that are really good." Her eyes revealed nostalgia. She likes peace more than war.

Lucifer came to her, he looked at the profile of the petite girl in front of him, as if seeing a beautiful picture in a daze.

"Really. Although I may not be as good as our goddess, I can't give you a birthday party now. But I still want to do something for you. Give it to you."

At this moment Lucifer was holding a holy sword. It was supposed to belong to Anseth's weapon, but it became his trophy after being defeated by Lucifer. Lucifer originally thought about whether he should have dual wielding like the "Dance King" Sullivan, but after thinking about it, let's forget it.

Sullivan's double swords have opposite attributes, but the power attributes of the two holy swords are too similar, one is the same as the two. It just so happened that Knight Ji was still short of her own holy sword, so Lucifer gave her the sword that should have belonged to her in the memory.

At the first sight of the sword, Altria's eyes were attracted by the sword.

"this is!"

"The holy sword Excalibur, the sword of the previous holy knight."

Under Altria's stare blankly, Lucifer put the sword in her hand.

"Wang, such an important thing, can I really pick it up?" Altria's hand holding the sword trembled.

"Before you tried desperately to stop Anseth and fight to the last moment of your life. I think you are worthy of the glory of this sword. In other words, no one is more suitable for swinging this sword than you."

"..." Altria looked at Lucifer for a long time, but finally did not refuse.

She untied the sword from her waist and carefully put the holy sword into the scabbard. At this moment, Altria suddenly thought of something that had been puzzled before. *

no.42 You are my scabbard (I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance!)

In the past few days, she has been dreaming of Lucifer putting a luxurious scabbard down her body in her dreams.

She didn't know whether it was just a pure dream or something that happened in reality. Taking advantage of her free time, she asked Lucifer this doubt. Lucifer listened to her slowly, and was silent for a while still preparing to tell the truth.

"Your dreams are not pure dreams, but real things that have happened. At that time, the fire of your life was about to extinguish, and I had no way to cure you, so the scabbard I got from Merlin was put into your body. According to Merlin, this scabbard has the power to insulate all pain, even beyond time, and the person who owns it will become the undefeated king. The only problem may be that your body will be stopped in the present time."

Lucifer's seemingly calm voice gave Altria an extremely strong consternation. She now finally understands what happened that day, and Wang gave up the scabbard to save her life. She had heard from her aunt about the legend about the scabbard, which is said to be a more precious treasure than the holy sword.

Immortal, immortal, isolated from all scars, and never connected with illness ever since. These are just the most basic strengths of the scabbard, but Lucifer simply gave up on the scabbard like this.

"..." She was silent for a long time, and then she seemed to wake up suddenly.

"No! Me!" Altria stretched out her hand to her heart excitedly, she had already made up her mind that she would never take away such a treasure.

This kind of thing should have been a proof that it belonged to the invincible king, not something she could touch.
