The King of Knights in a Different World

"The cold frost from the painting world, freeze everything." A frosty whirlpool was rolled up on the holy sword held high, and Lucifer aimed it forcefully at the surface of the river.

A strong ice storm spurted out with a sword, and swiftly reached the river directly to the opposite bank, and finally froze together with the tree trunks on the ground. In this storm, everyone was almost unsteady on their feet.

After the storm, a miraculous ice bridge appeared. The river and tree trunks are frozen together by ice, and the huge ice surface with a width of hundreds of meters in front of you forms a natural ice bridge. Because of the tree trunks under the ice, it is stronger than ordinary ice. The whole looks like a concrete bridge made of ice and trees.

"Okay!" At this moment, Lucifer seemed to have just done a trivial thing.

"This!" Robin Hood has the urge to wipe his eyes to see if he is dazzled.

Using magic to freeze the surface of the river to allow the army to pass, this approach has probably rarely been thought of before. Compared to Robin Hood's sluggishness, the knights who saw this scene once again looked at Lucifer in their eyes full of enthusiasm.

Yes, the person in front of him who is freezing the river with his hands and feet is their king, the king they are loyal to. Even Leah stayed for a long time without responding, until Lucifer's order appeared.

"Immediately notify everyone to speed up crossing the river!" Lucifer retracted his sword and shouted at the knight behind him.

"Yes!"

At this moment, all the knights rushed to the army behind, and they couldn't wait to tell the people behind them the miracle they had just seen. *

no.23 Nominal Commander

The Dragonscale Fortress in the south is the last line of defense after the White Rock Fortress. If the fortress is also lost, the entire south will lose the barrier against France. But fortunately, although the French Legion took advantage of the absence of Joel Joss to take advantage of the White Rock Fortress, but for the time being, it seemed that it did not move on due to internal reasons.

After the fierce fighting before, the Southern Army is now resting here. The gate behind the fortress was welcoming Lucifer's reinforcements into the city. The tall walls were full of people, and they looked at Lucifer, the new king, with curious eyes. After a few days of rapid march, they arrived two days earlier than expected.

After arriving at the fortress, Lucifer didn't have much rest. He has been busy for these two days.

He first unified the issue of command. As the supreme commander of the king, he also appointed Joel Joss to be the commander-in-chief directly under his command. He only needs to take orders from himself and have the power to mobilize the army. Even the army brought by Lucifer himself can be mobilized.

After setting up everything, Lucifer temporarily asked the others to step back to deliver the notice. Before leaving, Joeljos gave Lucifer a meaningful look, and he naturally understood why Lucifer's decision was.

After the crowd had left, Leah looked at Lucifer a little hesitantly.

"Master, you just did it..."

She is not a noob either. Lucifer's approach just now carries a certain danger, because if he wants to, the current Saint George can directly overhead Lucifer's military power, and even use the army from the imperial capital.

"Does Leah think I should directly command the whole army, instead of setting up a commander-in-chief on this basis?" Lucifer smiled and motioned for Leah to sit next to her.

"Well! We believe in the master's ability, and rushed to the front line from the imperial capital, but the master's current approach may cause his subordinates to have concerns."

"That's why I am the supreme commander in name. But I am not incapable of understanding their worries, but the problem now is that you believe in my ability and fight your lives against me, fighting for the country and glory." Having said this, Lucifer paused for a moment, his gaze looked at the flag hanging in the hall. It was not the king's flag, but the family crest of St. George.

Looking at Leah's hesitant face again, he continued.

"But the original soldiers here don't know our new king. Compared to me, St. George can give them a sense of security. If they are now directly included in the name of the king, they will think that I am depriving St. George. Command. In case the military's spirit is shaken, it will be out of control. Fortunately, St. George seems to have understood my approach. The next step depends on our cooperation."

Now this situation is also a last resort. After all, no matter how you think of yourself as the leader of the airborne, you can't be convinced before you show your ability. If you are already the king of this country now, there is nothing wrong with taking all the military power directly.

Rather, that is the most effective way. Unfortunately, I have only been crowned for a few days, so I want the tens of thousands of soldiers below to trust me, unless there is the legendary ‘dominant’.

"Is that the way it was? Please forgive me for saying that I didn't think about it well. I didn't expect the problems caused by the integration of the two armies. Originally, I thought it only needed..." At this time Leah also understood Lucifer's pains .

It's not that I don't want it, it's just forced by the situation.

Looking at the hesitant girl knight, Lucifer said with a smile.

"As long as I show up here, other people will take my orders for granted? Then, with a charge, can you defeat the French army?"

Leah seemed to have discovered her own problem, her face turned a little red, and she said softly.

"Yes it is."

"Leah also likes to read knight novels."

"How would you know?" This time it was surprised.

"You just told me by yourself."

Ignoring Leah's surprised expression for the time being, Lucifer continued.

"If this war can be the same as you read the stories in those knight novels, maybe I will be much easier. But the fact now is that if you want to integrate the whole army, then you can only let Duke George do it. My words need to pass. Some victories to convince them that I can lead them to victory."

"If you can't even do it, maybe no one in this country can do it." Calm words reveal absolute trust. The girl knight at the moment believed in this way.

"Since Leah, you have said so, even if it is for your trust, I will do it well. As for now, let's go out and have a look!"

"Yes!"

Altria followed in the footsteps of Lucifer and left the hall with him.

On the huge white city wall, the soldiers are holding on to their positions. They still talk about the new king from time to time, but these discussions have consciously chosen to be silent after the white figure that appears to have arrived.

Lucifer led Altria to the tens of meters high city wall, looking into the distance. After the mountains and forests far away from here, the black smoke was gradually spreading, and accidents occurred at the same time. *

no.24 The operation is as fierce as a tiger (please ask for tickets, ask for flowers)

The sky was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and the air revealed a trace of violent turmoil. Below the city, a group of knights in the distance was running towards the gate of the fortress. Behind them was a number of hundreds of knights chasing soldiers, and the most eye-catching thing was probably the thing in the sky behind them.

"Two-footed dragon!" A soldier called out the creature's name.

"The French are coming! Ring the big bell!" Another soldier immediately alerted the compatriots not far away.

Several soldiers standing by the big clock immediately struck the alarm vigorously, and the sound of the bell came to the entire fortress, and all the soldiers were in a state of readiness for a while.

On the plain thousands of meters away, more than a dozen flying dragons and hundreds of soldiers were chasing the dozens of soldiers in Britain ahead. The situation is very urgent, but the people on the wall can't see the person being pursued. They can only be judged by their outline to be British.

"You, soldier!" Lucifer called the nearest young soldier next to him.

"Yes, king!" the soldier saluted.

"Do you know the identity of this person?" Lucifer waved his hand as he said. An ice crystal mirror that was as high as a person was formed beside him, and there was playing the appearance of being chased in the distance.

A white-haired knight was being chased. He looked very anxious, and he was injured in many places.

"General Ziegge! He is General Ziegge! General Ziegge is not dead!" The soldier yelled out of joy when he saw it.

At this time St. George also came to the wall, he walked to Lucifer and reported.

"King, Siegfei, I am the most outstanding general under my team and the guard of the White Rock Fortress. When the White Rock Fortress fell before, at the same time his death was heard. We originally thought..."

The erroneous transmission of information made Joel Joss mistakenly think that Ziegfried was dead, and he had not thought about searching before.

"It seems that he is not dead. I have to find a way to support them." However, in Lucifer's view. There may be something hidden in this, maybe even Ziegfei's current appearance is the bait deliberately released by the other party.

"I will send someone out of the city immediately!"

"No, this can't work. Don't you think it's weird. Since Ziegfei is so important, why did the other party only send so many people to chase after him? Hundreds of people are like coming to die."

Although there are two-footed flying dragons, the number of opponents is too small. Once the people in the fortress support thousands of people, they will be resolved immediately. Ziegfeld has already ran here, and the sensible approach should be to retreat and give up the prey instead of chasing. unless…

"What do you mean? This is a trap!"

"Maybe they want to use Ziegfei's life to do something? The opponent's coach is very interested. He knows that we can't leave Ziegfei alone and will definitely save him. And what he needs is..." , Lucifer motioned to her feet.

"The time we opened the gates."

"That's right! If I guessed correctly, there should be enemy troops around that would have touched it a long time ago. They may be hidden through magical illusions. As long as we open the city gates, they will immediately start attacking. You can lay down this city gate and hold it for a period of time to wait for the arrival of the army." Lucifer calmly analyzed the current situation.

The situation in front of him is very delicate. If they don't go out to save Ziegfei, they will definitely act as if they really killed the seriously injured Ziegfei. This will undoubtedly shake the military's mind, especially when the soldiers in the fortress kill him in front of him. This makes people feel that the new king and St. George are incompetent, and even important generals can't be saved.

Stakes! With this method, it is no wonder that the White Rock Fortress in Britain can be breached. Lothar? Is a good opponent.

"Damn it! This way, you won't be able to open the gate to rescue Siegflies." St. George's fist hit the wall next to him.

If this is the case, then you can't risk losing the fortress to rescue Ziegfei. In this regard, Lucifer has a different view.

"No, rescue is okay. But the layout needs to be changed. The wall of this fortress was originally divided into inner and outer layers, isn't it? Now that we know the opponent's actions, we can also arrange accordingly."

This fortress was designed with the possibility of losing the outer wall in mind, so there is also a wall inside. Of course, if under normal circumstances, the outer city was breached frontally, the inner city would not be able to support it for long. But if the opponent is playing a sneak attack...this design is enough to bury them.

Hearing Lucifer's words, Joel Joss' eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Lucifer's meaning.

"I understand, I will immediately transfer the main force here for layout."

"Yes! It's best to put the magic giant crossbow directly at the gate of the city and give them a surprise!"

"Yes!"

"The Duke of Saint George, the defense of the wall will be left to you. I will personally verify the strength of France."

Outside the city wall, the chase continued. The seriously injured Ziegfei couldn't support it for long.

And there is a forest somewhere ten thousand meters away from the main entrance of the fortress. This area is shrouded in magic, making it impossible to see the inside, and this is where Lothar is where the French front line command is located, surrounded by knights standing guard.

Lothar looked more than forty years old, with Durandal, the head of the twelve holy swords of France, on his waist. There are two young men beside him. They are Anses, who is also one of the twelve knights, and the eldest son of the current king, Piping, who is also named Piping.

Piping, the dwarf, gave his name to the prince and at the same time gave the Flying Dragon Legion, which is enough to prove his love for this son. In contrast, other princes, such as Charlemagne and Louis, did not receive much love from the king.

Because Pepin was not one of the twelve knights but got one of the twelve holy swords, what Anses got was not one of the twelve holy swords of France, but a holy sword that the dwarf king found. Its name is Excalibur.

It is said that this sword is a similar weapon based on the sword of the king of Britain in the old empire.

"I said, old fellow, is it necessary to make this trouble? I deliberately let Ziegfei off, and I squatted here a day in advance. I was covered with moss. If I want to say that there is my flying dragon army, I will directly charge. In the past, it wouldn't be enough to smash everything in front of you." The arrogant face with short blond hair is Pepin, and his tone is very bad.

Anses frowned instinctively, he said instead of Lothar.

"The marshal just doesn't want to cause too much damage. Moreover, I heard that the new king of Britain has been selected and has been rushed to the Dragonscale Fortress. The storm will pay huge damage."

"You shut up, I didn't ask you again. I asked him."

"Perhaps you should learn to be polite before calling someone to discuss it. Your Royal Highness!" Lothar sighed and finally spoke.

He always thought that the prince's personality was very problematic. Of course, maybe he still has a little level in the battle, but that is more of an equipment advantage, not much. The king threw him here to pay for it. *

no.25 Want to play tactics?

(Thanks to the book friends for the reward of "Why should I go".)

Although the head coach of the entire army is Lothar, Prince Pepin led some nobles to form an army independently. About 20,000 people in this part are not under Lothar's command. Lothar was also a little worried that this would become a hidden danger. But he couldn't say anything.

Piping's expression became impatient.

"The prince, call me the prince. I am the next king. You should pay attention to the polite people, knights." He strongly corrected the mistakes of the two knights in front of him.

"..." Anses' expression was a bit angry, but he chose to be silent.

This is not the first time they have had such unpleasantness. But as a general, what else can you say when facing a prince who might become the next king?

Although he wanted to grab the head of the man in front of him more than once and hit the wall of the fortress over there. But just think about it.

At this time, Lothar stood up strongly.

"Before you officially became a king, you were only a prince. Your Royal Highness! And I am the coach here." In the words, he was reminding the prince of his identity.

As one of the only three marshals of France at present, his status is naturally needless to say.

Seeing Lothar's livid face, the prince's demeanor a little bit. But the expression is still so awkward.

"Okay! Then please give a reason, Marshal Cavalier... Your lord? Originally, Siegfried was supposed to be my prey, but you took him away and now let him go. I need your explanation!"

"I want to use his life to open the gate of the fortress. General Renault is already in place. As long as the gate is opened, his cavalry will immediately rush in. At the same time, the prince and your flying dragon army will cooperate and take down the gate in one fell swoop. Just hold on for a while. In time, our army will be able to successfully capture this dragon-slaying fortress." Lothar calmly said his entire plan.

They not only have the cavalry on the ground, but also the air force in the sky. It is not a problem for the ground and army to take a gate when it is opened.

"Cut! Don't even dare to fight head-on, so you are just like that. When the opportunity comes, let me know. I'm going to prepare." The prince's expression was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.

It wasn't until long after the prince untied that the atmosphere on the scene eased.

"Marshal!" Anses said first.

"I know what you want to say, Anses. Our prince is a spoiled child. Be more tolerant of this kind of child."

"What else can I do besides tolerance? Who makes him the next king?" At this moment, Anses' joking words revealed a kind of irony.

"Not to mention that little bastard, what do you think of the situation this time? They don't seem to have sent rescue troops. If they don't come after a while, I can only kill Ziegflies." With that, Lothar Changed the subject.

Speaking of this, Anses also began to look into the distance seriously. He calmly analyzed the current situation.

"Wait, maybe they haven't seen who is escaping. It's just that an ordinary general is not worthy of their opening. With the current situation, when they see that it is Ziegflies, they will definitely send a team of thousands of people to support. At that time, you can eat with this rescue team."

"That said. I was too impatient. Now, the only variable is one person."

"Britain's new king. In fact, if he comes one day late, our plan may be smoother."

Lucifer's early arrival somewhat disrupted their plans. After all, a fortress facing 70,000 people is a completely different concept from a fortress facing 110,000 people, especially the nearly 20,000 knights brought by Lucifer.
