The King of Knights in a Different World

"I will let the 70,000 troops here cross the river and release the additional 30,000 prisoners, including the prince of France."

"Don't you think your appetite is too big, King of Britain?" Bismarck's expression became serious.

This condition was within his expectation, but it was originally the reserve price he should have finally come up with. Now Lucifer said in a single mouth, he had the illusion that he suspected Lucifer could read mind.

Of course, Lucifer doesn't have the ability to be so buggy, but based on the current situation, it is not too difficult to guess the range of conditions that the opponent can accept.

"Do you think I'm too much? Compared to the fact that we united with Rome and contacted Macedonia to carve up a large number of France, this condition is not harsh anymore. Originally, this land was a British territory. It was only used about 15 years ago. You take it. I don't want to commit the mistake of the ancestor, and let you get a first base to cross the river for nothing."

"..."

"Since you can come, you should also be able to see the changes in the current situation. However, I don't know if you can see clearly. That is if the truce contract is to be fully improved, then both parties must be assured of each other. And this The Rhine is the guarantee. I don’t want my south side to be in danger of being beaten at any time.”

Compared with the contract on paper, the real thing is the real guarantee of the truce. With this big river as a natural barrier, it will be a lot of peace of mind for both parties. France doesn't have to worry about being attacked by Britain, and Britain does the same.

"If you want to agree to this, the number of gold coins must be reduced." Bismarck changed a condition.

In this era, using money to buy land is normal manipulation, and reducing the compensation is equivalent to having the money exchanged for this piece of land. This is not unacceptable. Bismarck is also considering the financial problems in France.

"The gold coin is still 700,000, but I can agree to pay the bill in installments. That is, 400,000 will be paid first, and then 300,000 will be delivered in five years, and 60,000 will be paid annually. This way your financial pressure will be much less." Lucifer Seeing the right time, I switched to another payment method.

According to the information previously disclosed by Bismarck and the analysis of Semiramis intelligence, Lucifer believes that 400,000 is an acceptable number. If you want to talk about it, they may not want to give it.

Bismarck was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I need some time to think about it."

"No problem! I welcome you to think about it for a while at any time. Gao Wen, arrange a luxurious rest place for the prime minister. Both guards and meals must be treated according to the prime minister's specifications. The high school prime minister can no longer let the high school prime minister say that we don't understand etiquette, understand. ?"

Lucifer's words at the moment made Gawain and Altria couldn't help laughing. It was obvious that the words with surveillance came out of Lucifer's mouth but it seemed to be protecting them.

"Yes, Wang! I will do it now."

Gao Wen said, leaving here first. Following this, Lucifer also got up first, which meant that he had no idea of ​​continuing to talk. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned around and said to Bismarck again.

"Your Excellency, personally, I welcome you to think about it for a while. But I may need to remind you that as long as the formal truce between us is not signed, it means that our two countries are still hostile. country."

Bismarck was also about to get up, but was suddenly stunned when he heard this. After reacting, he stared at Lucifer calmly.

"Are you warning me? If you wait too long, the soldiers on the opposite side may be annihilated by you at any time?"

"No, it's a kind reminder. After all, we may soon become a truce, and I don't want to make things too rigid before then."

"thanks for your reminder."

After speaking, the two of them disappeared before each other's eyes. *

no.46 Truce is not peace

After a day of negotiation, France and Britain finally officially signed a truce contract. At the same time they also announced this contract to the world.

France and Britain formally truce for five years. France paid a total of 700,000 gold coins in compensation to Britain, first paying 400,000 and then paying 300,000 in installments. At the same time, the two countries re-divided their borders with the Rhine River as the boundary. France does not pursue the death of the Holy Sword and the Marshal.

In exchange, Britain will release all French prisoners, including Prince Pepin of France. They also returned their armor and weapons. What is interesting is that this small back door originally left by Lucifer is also one of the bargaining chips. Bismarck has also seen this and will add this condition.

Thanks to this, the more than 30,000 captured French soldiers can finally get their weapons back, so that they will not have to spend a lot of money to buy them again. Of course, those who died in battle were naturally confiscated as war spoils.

About five days later, the army with nearly 100,000 wounded and wounded returned to its own country through the barely repaired skeleton bridge. After going back, Bismarck took down the bridge again with a tacit understanding, and tore it down to the pier on the French side.

In response, Lucifer just smiled, and did not demolish the bridge, but erected a stone monument beside the bridge. It says the testimony of the friendship between the two countries.

In this way, a war between nations came to a close temporarily in a manner acceptable to both parties. Lucifer led the army on the way back. On their way back, they saw Ziegfei who was repairing the White Rock Fortress, and then returned to the Dragonscale Fortress to take a rest.

When he returned, Lucifer walked down the street and received heroic cheers.

Now almost everyone is completely convinced by Lucifer, the new king. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lucifer used his prestige and the king's power to forcibly integrate this force and put it under his command.

In this regard, the people below did not feel that there was any problem. On the contrary, they felt that it was a very honorable thing to fight for the king. After a few days of fighting, Lucifer temporarily let the army rest while telling them that they might go north or east, so that they did not relax while resting.

After dealing with a bunch of affairs at hand, the night is getting deeper. In the brightly lit corridor, Lucifer was walking towards the large bathroom in the distance.

The pool in the large bathroom looks like a swimming pool, surrounded by white marble columns, matched with the ribbons falling in the sky, and the whole looks like a Roman style. It is said that this place was built when the first king came to the fortress to fight for the royal family's exclusive use. The design style is based on the Roman series.

At this time the water in the pool had heated up, put down his clothes, and Lucifer lay down. The moment the body came into contact with warm water, the whole person's spirit seemed to relax. He put the towel on his eyes and meditated on the fruits of these days alone.

For now, Britain's greatest external danger has basically been resolved. France has been defeated and Rose will naturally not move. Rome will also reconsider its own combat power and give up taking advantage of the fire.

Compared with the already stable external situation, we should turn our attention to the domestic situation. With this victory, China will no longer question my ability as a king. But the presence of former royal family members does not rule out that some people with ulterior motives will jump out and make big news.

Taking into account the situation in the mainland afterwards, the aristocratic system may be a big problem, and sure enough, a centralized strategy should be adopted. As for Princess Morgan... forget it! I haven't seen this princess.

If Leah is willing to reveal the identity of her illegitimate child, letting her as a queen is the best solution to stabilize the current situation in one fell swoop. Ugh! What am I thinking, she will not agree with this decision.

Think about it, she also has the ability to draw swords, and is the king's illegitimate child. But the country now does not need two kings. She wants to survive as a knight more than something like a queen. However, Leah's wedding dress... this kind of scene is a bit exciting.

Thinking of this, Lucifer was still considering whether to find a time to abuse his power in private in the future, when he suddenly sensed the familiar breath behind him. That is his guardian knight.

Lucifer turned his head back, and the one who fell into the line of sight was the knight girl. She has changed her armor and is wearing a blue and white dress.

Suddenly seeing Lucifer undressed, Knight Ji's expression was very shy.

"That..." She turned her head, as if she didn't dare to look here at all.

"Come down! Where did I just want to go as a personal guard?" Lucifer directly invited the girl.

"Come down?" Altria was stunned.

She looked at the pool, somewhat unsure whether Lucifer asked her to go into the water. then…

"Yes! After these days of fighting, Leah should also be very tired. The water temperature here is just right to relax the previously depressed spirit."

"I…"

Altria originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Lucifer's eyes, she understood that continuing to refuse might become an order. She thought for a while and decided to comply.

(Three more!)*

no.47 Wash together (please ask for tickets, ask for flowers)

The dress fell gently, and after a while, a petite figure appeared in the water. However, she looked very shy, and subconsciously distanced herself from Lucifer.

"Please don't get me wrong, I just want to protect the king's safety." Seeing Lucifer's smile, Altria explained it by force.

"Of course it's for my safety. They all talked about personal guards, so naturally we need time to be together. Otherwise, in case an assassin runs in, but your dereliction of duty!"

"How could there be an assassin at this time?" Muttered in a low voice, Altoria immersed half of her head in the water.

"Assassins usually attack the target when people are most relaxed. In terms of timing, now is a good opportunity. So, for my safety, my lovely knight Ji will trouble you."

Although in terms of timing, now is the best time. But it was only timing, but this reason really convinced Altoria.

"Is this really the case? I understand, I will definitely protect the king's safety." As she said, Altria had a serious expression on her face.

At this time, she subconsciously ignored the fact that Wang was actually stronger than her. But, even a strong person needs a guard, it has nothing to do with strength. Altria believed so firmly.

"Just protect it like this? The distance between us is a little far away, right." Lucifer saw that this was a good reason, and he continued to make an inch of it.

The distance between the two of them has exceeded ten meters, which is absolutely unqualified for the guards. then…

"Please forgive me for my dereliction of duty."

Knight Ji was thinking of her own responsibilities, and subconsciously approached within one meter. This time, with a reason, she seemed to forget her shyness.

Through the mist, Lucifer saw the knight in front of him for the first time. The look he looked up and down quickly caught Altoria's attention, and she only realized that they were meeting frankly.

"Please don't stare at me like that!" Altria clasped her arms tightly, as if worried about what Lucifer saw.

But in fact, she didn't know that her shy expression and behavior were more flavorful than before.

"Look carefully, Leah, you said before that your body is not as slender and feminine as the noble ladies, but it does not seem to be the case now. At this moment, you are like a lily blooming in the water, which makes people feel pity. "A happy smile appeared on the corners of Lucifer's lips.

Facing Lucifer's compliment, Altria should have been happy, but her current appearance made her unhappy.

"Wang!" Her voice was almost pleading, and her expression was about to cry ashamed.

"Okay! Okay! I won't tease you anymore. If you go on like this, I will be in danger if you leave in shame and anger."

After that, in order to reduce the shyness in Knight Ji's heart. Lucifer put the towel on her eyes again, and leaned back. Without Lucifer's dazzling gaze, Altria's body temperature gradually began to drop.

After a while, she finally recovered her calm. She looked at Lucifer inadvertently at this time, but immediately looked away like a thief. After she moved away, it gradually returned to the original state, and then she forcibly moved away.

She repeated this behavior five or six times, and then forced to tell herself.

"Calm down! Calm down! Calm down! Just think of it as being at my aunt's house, yes, that's it."

Relying on self-suggestion to herself, Altria finally calmed down.

Lucifer, who was next to her, couldn't help but feel that the girl in front of her was really cute, but if this continued, she might not be able to communicate normally. Lucifer thought for a while and gave his own suggestions.

"Don't be so nervous, Leah! I'm not a nameless monster, and I won't eat you. I originally asked you to take a bath to relax. Don't you look more nervous now. There is a towel next to it, if you really can't If you're calm, just don't do it like me."

Since what you see will make people shy, it's fine if you don't see it. Although they have a sense of concealment at their current distance, at least it is still invisible on the surface.

"Well, it seems really possible! Thank you, Wang!"

After speaking, Altria picked up the towel and began to learn Lucifer. As a result, without seeing Lucifer, she finally let out a long breath.

"In private, don't call me the king. In public, I am the king, your knight. But before that, we are still close boy and girl friends. I don’t want you to put me too high. Come on." Lucifer continued at this time.

"Lucifer?"

"If the name is hard to pronounce, call me Lucille or Lucifer."

"Well, Lucille!" Altria's voice was obviously mixed with joy, after thinking about it, she continued.

"Lucille, do we really relax like this now? Although we have signed a contract with France, we still let their army go back. I'm a little worried."

(Four more complete.)*

no.48 Correct demonstration of shampooing (please ask for votes, ask for flowers)

In theory, although France was defeated this time, most of their army returned after all. Even considering the number of wounded soldiers after the war, nearly half of the soldiers returned. These soldiers may become a force in the next war.

But it is only theoretically.

"Worried? Worried about France’s comeback? The initiative is now in our hands. The previous war cost France 70,000 or 80,000 troops. In a short time, France will not pose a threat to Britain, and we can also free up our hands for development. internal affairs."

Seventy or eighty thousand troops is not a small number, especially since France, like Britain, is currently in a region that is surrounded by a powerful country. For a long time to come, they may face more internal problems, as well as peeping from the north and east.

The defeat of France may also give other people an illusion. For example, ‘France is actually very delicious, and I can do it. After all, you see, a new king who didn’t know where it came from made the three French legions surrender in one month. ’This kind of. Once this illusion occurs, this country is likely to be prey to many people.

"I thought that Lucille really wanted to eliminate the three legions of France in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect Lucille to want peace talks."

"In fact, if Britain's internal problems have been resolved, the previous war would be an opportunity. But unfortunately, the internal instability, the strong enemies in the north and east are still there, time does not allow us to make too many choices."

"It's a pity. If it weren't for the north and east sides, this battle should have been Britain's best chance to invade France in one fell swoop."

Although she looked like an upright knight, the girl knight seemed to have the idea of ​​defeating France, an old enemy in her heart. It should be said that the knights here more or less have this idea.

In fact, the previous war can be said to be one step away. They were able to punch through the east side of France in just one step, but unfortunately the timing was wrong.

"It's because of the complicated situation that I want to talk to France first. Let alone the greatest rewards from them, considering the current situation in Britain, we should not overly weaken France's strength. Otherwise, once Rome and Macedonia are allowed to eliminate France, we may face a two-front war situation when facing Rome. Rome is now strong enough, and if it annexes French territory, it will directly threaten the survival of Britain. ." Lucifer's mind remained calm.

Punch through France. It sounds pretty good, but the problem is that even if it is hit now, they can't keep it up, and they will only make the two countries next to them in vain.

For the nine mainland countries, helping other countries increase their strength in this situation is almost equal to slowly stifling their own development. It may eventually become suicide. Lucifer now has the illusion of playing a strategy game. Of course, if France’s bones are hard enough, you can try to drag Rome into France’s war quagmire, but there is obviously no such thing.

"It sounds complicated, and I really don't fit this kind of thing." After thinking about it, Altoria was a little bit self-defeating. Or it can be said to have a clear understanding of reality.

If she was leading the army at the time, she would definitely continue the offensive with enthusiasm, and the result at that time would be that Rome might directly border Britain to the south. And that result could be devastating.

"Everyone has something they are good at and something they are not good at. For Leah, just focus on what you are good at, and leave the rest to me."

"Ok!"

With this as the boundary, there was a brief silence between them. Lucifer was about to get up, and when he took off the towel, he looked at Altria subconsciously. Only here did he find that the girl's blonde hair had become a little messy because of the previous war.

He looked at a plate brought up by the maid by the pool, where there were cleaning supplies. Lucifer found that there were only two types of water squeezed out of leaves. The maid said it was used to clean the body and hair.

shampoo? Shower Gel?

With such curiosity, Lucifer tried it and found that this was just the most primitive way. Although it has a cleaning function, the effect is just that. However, something is better than nothing.

He picked up two things and looked at them, and then called to Altria next to him.

"Leah, come here. I'll wash your hair clean."
