The King of Knights in a Different World
Chapter 101
"Did I just talk about personal matters?"
This time, Lucifer chose to ignore it when facing Mira.
He forcibly put the topic on the file.
"Don't talk about this.
The news that the pirates concentrated on invading came three days ago, you should have already responded.
After all, you used to be...the Duke of the West."
The message on the file is actually very simple.
That is, several pirate chiefs on the west side of the sea suddenly united and attacked the alley city of Edinburgh in the west of Britain, but they are currently defeated by the navy.
However, they didn't seem to give up, but instead planned to continue to block the alleys at sea to prevent boats from entering and leaving.
``I privately ordered Drake to treat it defensively, temporarily focusing on stabilizing the situation.
My decision, I hope the king will not blame me."
"No, you handled it well.
You know the West side better than I do, and you have the power to make a decision temporarily."
Lucifer didn't blame Mira.
It was my own big wedding before, if this kind of incident is exposed.
It will undoubtedly arouse the knights' strong anger, and then, the wedding may not be as peaceful as before.
It is said that big is not big, but the key is the time when it happened.
It happened to coincide with my own wedding, and the political implications here are very obvious.
If you dare to make trouble during my wedding time, it seems that you are disgusting that your peaceful life is too good.
"Is there any other information? With your ability, it should be impossible not to see the hidden relationship in it."
After thinking about it, Lucifer looked at Mira.
Pirates will act collectively, or choose the time of their wedding.
If there is no black hand in it, Lucifer himself doesn't believe it.
Even if these pirates really want to be a Pirate King to gain power or something, they should also find a soft fruit, such as France next to them, not Britain.
"Their behind-the-scenes funder is Rome."
Semiramis seemed to have predicted what she had investigated.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Hearing this, Lucifer instantly understood something.
``According to the current situation, Rome should want to attract your attention in this way, and let your attention temporarily leave Rome itself.
They are facing a double attack with Macedonia to the south and do not want to have another opponent.
After all, Britain is now in a state of armistice in both the north and the south, and the remaining goals are very obvious."
Semiramis calmly explained the situation in Rome.
"No, it's two.
The news that if I start the army now does not mean that the Lei Di hasn't moved."
The reason why Lei Di didn't see it now was because he had the same thoughts as himself.
I want to wait until they fight directly, as long as they want to quit, it is very difficult.
But before that, they have the possibility of peace talks at any time.
For this reason, we cannot give them pressure for the time being.
As long as they think they can fight, they will fight.
"At the same time, fighting the Four Kingdoms at the same time, even if it is stronger than Rome, it is enough.
You won't let this opportunity pass."
"It depends on the opportunity.
The four countries jointly attacked Rome, and then ended in peace talks, each obtaining part of the territory.
It sounds good, but I am interested in it.
You know, Mira, I always think that the war between nations is best not to start lightly, but if it starts, you must find a way to kill your opponent at once, at least crippled.
Otherwise, trouble will continue."
Lucifer expressed his opinion.
Most of the wars in this era are mainly based on the fight for territory, and the exchange of human lives for land and money is mostly such a practice.
But what Lucifer thought in his heart was to complete his work in one fell swoop.
"Your appetite is bigger than you think."
Semiramis is not opposed to this approach.
On the contrary, she appreciates it.
Just when they were about to say something, the voice of the guard came from outside the door.
"King, the Roman messenger wants to see you."
"The messengers of Rome, they dare to send messengers over."
Semiramis is a little strange.
After these goods have done the things in the west, they dare to send someone over.
They really thought that there was no intelligence department on their side, but Lucifer had a different view.
"Don't we already have messengers in our city?"
Compared to the new messenger, Lucifer felt that Nero should have received an order from the Roman emperor to let her return.
"Oh! It's them.
Do you want to see?
"I thought of an interesting thing.
Of course I want to see you.
Tell them to come in."
After a while, a Roman messenger entered the office.
Lucifer and Semiramis were not as casual as before, but sat in their official positions.
After a simple opening remarks, Nero and Laxmi also explained their intentions to Lucifer.
They received the order and prepared to return, this time they came to say goodbye.
Of course it was a farewell on the surface, but Nero was more or less... still holding the idea of testing Lucifer's next move.
"Are you going to go back so soon?
But I promised that your clothes are not ready yet."
With that, Lucifer's expression was full of exclamation.
"I don't want to go back so soon.
But the uncle had already given the highest order, and I could only follow it.
As for the clothes...you can send someone to give it to Yu in the future."
Nero was a little lost at first, but he recovered immediately.
She has already figured out how to deal with it.
"It seems that this can only be done."
After Lucifer finished speaking, Nero deliberately looked at Semiramis.
"Hey! This... seems to be your prime minister. Are you discussing a major event before I come here?"
The tone seemed untuned, but it was the beginning of Nero's temptation.
Such a tone is unlikely to arouse Lucifer's disgust, and if Lucifer doesn't want to say it, she can skip it immediately.
However, Laxmi still feels too rude.
"His Royal Highness, please pay attention to the influence!"
"Little girl, the big thing we discussed has something to do with Britain.
As your Royal Highness in Rome, do you still want to hear about the secrets of Britain?"
Semiramis's expression is a bit playful.
no.162 Ways to deceive people (seeking votes, seeking custom)
She doesn't know whether this...Rome's Royal Highness is deliberately pretending to be stupid, or simply feeling too good about himself.
But seeing Lucifer didn't respond, she didn't have much to say.
"of course.
Because Yu Zhi instinctively told Yu that it was also related to Rome.
Luer, you will tell Yu."
Nero avoided Semiramis' words and went directly to Lucifer to speak.
"You are as confident as ever, or narcissistic, Nero.
Forget it, it's not a big deal, but it does have something to do with Rome."
Lucifer was not surprised by such Nero, and he also admitted that he had something to do with Rome.
"What! It really has something to do with Yu"
"Yes! I don't know if you... have received the news from Emperor Caligula, but now France and Macedonia have temporarily put aside their prejudices and are preparing to attack Rome together.
By the way, France also invited me to join in a joint offensive. Your uncle wants you to go back because he is worried that once the war starts, you will become my hostage.
The Prime Minister and I were just considering whether to agree with France’s decision. After all, this time is really a good opportunity."
Lucifer said nonsense seriously.
His words are half true and half false.
Semiramis suddenly understood what Lucifer meant, and she also deliberately cooperated with Lucifer and said.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, but what you just said is a secret of Britain and cannot be explained to them.
France has offered generous terms and asked us to keep it secret."
In fact, France has no contact with Britain at all.
But in the mouths of the two of them, France had already dispatched an emissary, and even the conditions were about to be negotiated.
Nero and Laxmi were suddenly surprised.
They had also thought about whether Britain would attack Rome before, but they had never thought that there would be such a possibility in front of them.
Because of the identities of Lucifer and Semiramis, and the news from Rome, they have become more and more... feel that this news is very true.
"A joint offensive between France and Britain!"
At this time, Laxmi was extremely surprised.
Nero recovered from the surprise, and she felt that this news was extremely true.
Although it seems impossible for Britain and France to unite at all, the more such an impossible unity, the more likely it is to unite.
"On the surface, it seems that the two countries that are least likely to be united will be united. It turns out that this is indeed a result that will surprise Yu.
Why did Luer tell Yu, such important news"
"Just treat it as a gift for you before you leave.
