The King of Knights in a Different World

And the biggest problem with this choice is that even if Britain is defeated, Macedonia will not get the slightest benefit.

It might even tempt me to abandon Rome and attack Macedonia."

If he chooses this method, Alexander will be working for nothing.

Even if he could defeat himself, he would not be able to continue eastward because of Helen's Seven Kings.

In the end, he helped Rome win the war, but it did him no good.

So it is impossible for him to choose this option.

"To put it simply...the first option is that even if Macedonia wins, it will only help Rome in the end, and they will not get any benefits.

Alexander would not do such a thing."

Mira also realized the problem of this choice.

If it is to prevent Britain from becoming bigger, this is indeed a purpose.

But launching an attack if you want to do this is obviously not cost-effective.

Just like before, Lucifer only used troops to hold back France and did not use force.

"Yes, so he will choose the second method.

Attack Helen. When we attack Rome with all our strength and cannot take care of him, Macedonia also goes all out to annex Helen.

You must know that based on the current situation of Britain, if Macedonia obtains part of Rome's territory, Macedonia will still be like this, and he will have no chance of winning.

For this reason, he must and had to attack Helen.

Only by getting Helen can he have the strength to compete with me."

Lucifer calmly stated the only way in front of Macedonia.

Among the four kingdoms surrounding Macedonia, the Sun King is not considered for now.

Roma's defense may be weak by then, but if Macedonia wants to live a happy life now, it cannot hold Roma back, otherwise the two of them will end up together.

As for Britain, given the previous examples, Macedonia would subconsciously feel guilty.

After eliminating them one by one, the last Helen who was in the civil war is... the best.

"Aren't we going to stop it?"

Mira thought for a while and asked further.

If Alexander really gets Helen, then the subsequent war with Macedonia will lose its previous advantage.

Not to mention anything else, fleet attack at sea is just...a question.

"Stop it, of course you have to stop it.

This is the fourth step that I just didn’t finish.

Capture Venice, use this stronghold to divide the Roman territory, and force the army of Rome and Russia to retreat to Bologna, which is the gateway to the royal city of Rome.

After the Russian army arrived to confront Rome, we left part of our troops in Venice, and then moved south in a big way and suddenly turned our troops to Macedonia.

While Alexander's army is trapped in Helen, once Macedonia is captured, blockade Thermopylae and Trimir."

If he captured Venice and annihilated the Roman army in this area, Nero's continued stay in the northwest would be meaningless.

In order to prevent Lucifer from attacking the royal city or her own retreat being cut off, she had no choice but to retreat.

At this time, almost everyone probably thought that they would continue to attack Rome.

I never thought I would turn to Macedonia.

"Looking at it this way, does the king's original intention still lie in Macedonia?

I very much agree with this idea.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, no one will probably think that we will suddenly attack Macedonia. If Alexander's troops can be annihilated, Rome and Helen will also be within easy reach."

Mira also agreed with this idea.

Judging from the current situation, Macedonia is obviously weaker than Rome.

It is the normal choice to eliminate the weak countries first and then defeat the strong ones.

Moreover, Rome was supported by Russia, and Britain also attacked, so it was not considered a violation of the covenant.

"There's still half of Rome.

Since Ross has mobilized enough troops this time, we will let them be the vanguard to consume Rome's strength.

As long as we can annihilate Macedonia, no, let alone annihilate, as long as we can penetrate the western and northern parts of Macedonia, we can suddenly appear in Rome's almost undefended rear."

As he spoke, Lucifer opened his hand, and then a large area of ​​Roman and Macedonian territory on the map behind him gradually became colored with the color of Britain.

The whole process seems to be a simulation of war.

The marshal and generals fell into deep thought at the same time, and they were still carefully understanding Lucifer's plan.

If all steps can reach the most perfect state, then Macedonia will disappear after this battle, and Helen will disappear with it.

On the surface it looked like an attack on Rome, but in fact it was just a military deployment to capture Venice and liberate Britain.

Now they need to defend two points, but after gaining Venice, they only need to defend one point.

Together with Ross, it is almost impossible for Rome to counterattack.

They can easily annihilate Macedonia.

"A pretty bold plan."

Thinking of this, Mia said seriously.

"If the best outcome of the attack is assumed, nearly half of the continent will fall into the king's hands.

The worst-case scenario could severely damage Macedonia and Rome."

Boudica then spoke.

"I see.

I will make arrangements according to the plan, and prepare siege equipment at the same time, so that when the king's army changes direction, I can start the attack immediately."

St. George also expressed his position on this.

At this point, the plan has been drawn up, and they continue to discuss possible accidents in the plan, the corresponding avoidance methods, and everyone's responsibilities in this war.

From day to night, they formulated three plans.

A main plan, a backup plan, and a risk backup plan.

The latter two are based on the first one.

With Rose's announcement, this New Year is destined to not be spent peacefully.

Now that the strategic direction had been decided, Lucifer left all the tactical arrangements to his marshals and generals.

He stayed with Jeanne and the others, enjoying the last time with them.

no.549 Waiting

With Lucifer's strategy as the center, the whole of Britain began its own arrangements.

However, most of the people below did not know what was going on. They just followed the orders from above.

Before Ross started, Victory Fortress and Lyon had already increased their troops, and the number of troops was back to when Lucifer sniped at Macedonia.

Seeing this situation, Rome suddenly became nervous.

Most of them thought that Ross would move first, but they never thought that Lucifer would move his troops first.

Faced with this situation, Rome only sent corresponding troops to defend.

They had previously made a plan to retreat to Venice if necessary, but when it was not necessary at the moment, they naturally focused on defense.

Faced with Britain's actions, Rome was taken aback, but Macedonia was temporarily relieved.

Because judging from the current actions, Britain is obviously preparing to cooperate with Ross's offensive, so the pressure on their side will be much less.

Of course, recalling that Aristotle had no intention of suggesting that Alexander withdraw some of his troops from the west.

In March, the ice and snow in the north had just melted, and the coldness of winter still remained in the air. At this moment, on the plains, a huge army was marching towards the south.

As a queen, Catherine had not participated in large-scale wars before. The reason why she was able to win previous civil wars was because of the proper use of people.

Therefore, during this personal expedition, she did not feel self-righteous and felt that she was possessed by the God of War. Instead, she listened to the opinions of various generals.

After arriving at the Fire Fortress, she integrated the two armies together, and only rested for three days before launching a fierce attack on Rome.

At this time, Nero also brought most of his wealth to the Roman fortress.

Just looking at the comparison of military strength, it is 500,000 versus 700,000.

In fact, if Ross had not been consumed in the Civil War, the numerical comparison might be even more exaggerated.

Ross's side also had a reserve army that could be organized at any time, while Nero's side did not have much reserve force.

If the only thing that can give Nero some comfort is that the Roman legions are much better organized than the Ross ones.

Moreover, 500,000 versus 700,000, such a huge number can be thrown onto the battlefield at once, so in a head-on confrontation, the ratio of the forces of both sides will be similar.

Her legion commanders and strategists agreed that if there was a problem with Britain, it would only be a matter of time before they defeated the other legion.

At this moment, Lucifer did not go to the front line, but stayed in the royal city to receive intelligence from the front.

The Fortress of Victory has Boudica as its marshal, while Lyon's coach this time has been replaced by Mia.

The two of them led 150 legions of 140,000 and 150,000 men respectively, and had been confronting the Roman army on the front line since February.

According to Lucifer's previous arrangement, they were all conducting tentative attacks. This was to allow Rome to defend on both sides, and also to test their weaknesses.

In Lucifer's office, Lucifer was playing chess with Mira.

Leia stood behind Lucifer as a guard.

Even in this situation, she had no one to protect her, so more of her attention was drawn to the chess game.

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. If you miss this opportunity, you may not know how long you will have to wait."

Mira moved her soldiers and chuckled.

That's right.

This opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you may have this opportunity again in a few years.

Just like before, the Emperor of Thunder and Caligula were killed at the same time, leaving Lucifer with what he should have been delayed until now.

If you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait a few more years. Rose may have changed a lot in these few years.

Macedonia may have swallowed Helen.

“At times like this, we need to be calmer.

Judging from the intelligence coming from the front line, the defenses on both sides of Rome were similar.

It seems that we need to wait for Ross's pressure to increase before changes will occur on both sides."

Lucifer thought for a moment and moved his knight.

"So you just keep waiting."

"When we can't find any loopholes from the enemy for the time being, the only thing we need to do is... wait.

People can't be perfect all the time. As time goes by, accidents will appear, and so will weaknesses.

Even during this time, we can create our own opportunities."

Having said this, a smile appeared on Lucifer's face.

"Oh! For example"

"For example, what's left of the old French Legion opposite Lyon."

Lucifer named someone who could be used.

"They only have less than 30,000 people left. If they want to instigate rebellion, it must have been better before than now."

Mira had no expectations for those people.

In her opinion, those guys are useless.
