The King of Knights in a Different World
Chapter 210
At Sanpenkou, they were doing their final farewell.
"Lucifer, this time, will you really not go back?"
Joan thought for a while and continued to ask.
"Jan of Arc, forgive me this time, after all, your husband and I are a professional man.
I will defeat Rome as quickly as possible, and then come back to accompany you."
Lucifer smiled and responded to Joan.
"Um..., I actually know it, but I also want to go together."
Joan hesitated for a while... before she spoke.
She was not actually worried about Lucifer, but also Lucifer's role as a king.
But it was because he wanted to stay with Lucifer, so he said subconsciously.
"Not this time.
It's not that Joan of Arc has any shortcomings in your ability, but if you also go with it.
What about Abigail and the others?"
Lucifer whispered the reason.
After the previous events, Joan has grown up.
There is no problem even if you join the battlefield.
But the problem is that Abigail and the others need Joan of Arc to adjust to life in the royal city.
Only she can do this.
Even if it was changed to Leah, she couldn't give them a sense of security.
"I know."
In the end, Joan did not persist.
"They will leave it to you.
Well, especially Yu Ji, at the beginning, she might have a strong reaction to Al, so I can only rely on you, Joan.
Otherwise, when I come back, the palace may be demolished by them."
"Well, leave it to me.
Be safe and come back early."
After listening to Lucifer's words, Joan instantly felt that she was also doing important things.
She wants to protect this home for Lucifer.
"Ok!"
After finishing the final farewell, Lucifer rode on the horse and came to Tristan's team.
Finally, taking a look at the carriage where Joan was in, Lucifer retracted his gaze and shouted.
"Knights, go out!"
"Yes!"
Using this as a boundary, most of the knights were led by Lucifer to the farther east.
Until Lucifer's figure disappeared, and Joan and the curtains of the carriage were lowered, she sighed, her expression somewhat lost.
"Since you are so depressed, it's okay to go with him.
Humans are really troublesome."
After seeing Joan's expression, Yu Ji didn't understand it.
In her opinion, love is...love, and if you hate it, you can follow it. If you don't like it, you can directly explain it.
"Sorry, let you see my lost side..."
"No apology! Why don't you leave with him? If you are worried about me, it is completely unnecessary.
I said I would stay there until I defeated him, so I wouldn't break my promise."
Yu Ji assured Joan of Arc.
"No, it's not.
I believe Yuji you.
Just to better adapt to the new life in Wangcheng, Lucifer said that I was necessary, and I felt the same way.
So I think it would be better to stay than to go to him.
Moreover, I don't understand war or anything.
Leah should know better."
"Who is Leah?"
"Lucifer's direct knight is also the chief of the knights of the round table, and finally his lover.
Leah is the commander of the Imperial Palace Guards, and we will see it often in the future.
By the way, her personality is very upright, so don't worry everyone."
Soon, the two teams finally lost sight of each other.
Jeanne Percival returned to the royal city under the protection of him. After that, he had to consolidate the army, select the troops and choose whether to reinforce the east according to the situation.
If the progress is not smooth, then Lucifer is just the vanguard.
If it goes well, he won't need reinforcements.
Time passed quickly, and along the way, Lucifer kept receiving reports on the frontline.
In fact, just the second day after he arrived in Salem, the front line to the east had officially started war.
However, so far, apart from... the initial raid was repelled strongly by Lungominiad, the subsequent battle has become thunderous and rainy.
The opponent's large army did not attack with all its strength, but split up a lot of small troops to guerrilla around the fortress, attracting soldiers on their side to go out and annihilate them at the same time.
It is said that this is the strategy of Marco Anthony, the commander of the Tenth Army.
At present, there are three army commanders on the front line of the opponent, the 10th army commander, the 11th army commander Lucius and the 7th army commander Arash.
But the real force is not much..., only nearly 80,000, which is much less than that in the south.
With the configuration of the opponent's legion, plus the actions during this period, Lucifer had some speculations in his heart.
Interesting! Is this waiting for me to pass? Obviously, after they first... hit the steel plate, their action became: Be cautious.
Now the other party seems to have adjusted its strategy.
It's just that whether this strategic arrangement is like your own speculation, you still need to look at the actual situation.
At noon, while the camp was resting, Lucifer walked out of the tent and looked towards the sky.
The clouds in the sky are changing.
"It's going to change."
Lucifer was muttering at the moment.
This time Leah was not by her side, and only Tristan was waiting beside her.
"Yes, Wang."
Tristan responded.
"It reminds me of our first battle, Cui Stanqing."
With that said, Lucifer sat down, and he pushed away and gestured to Tristan.
Tristan nodded and sat down on the chair next to him.
"The meeting between the king and me was also the day before a rainy day. At that time, we were still at a loss as to whether we could defeat the French invasion.
But the answer was already in Wang's heart.
I am so lucky to be able to follow the king."
Tristan at this moment told of their first encounter.
In fact, more than two years ago, although Lucifer integrated the army with righteousness, most of the knights were only instinctively eager to fight foreign enemies.
They have no confidence in whether they can win.
Before that, they had never thought that their victory would come so quickly and so thoroughly.
"It is also my luck to have ministers like you.
Having said that, as usual, after returning from Salem this time, they should have been given a vacation.
But there is no way now, I can only make up later."
In fact, after every battle or expedition, I would give the knights who went out to take a vacation so that they could rest physically and mentally.
But this time, I can only say that time waits for no one.
"The king hasn't rested, how can I feel tired after waiting.
Thank you for the king's care, but since I am a knight, I have already realized something."
In this regard, Tristan didn't feel any distress.
"In that case, let us remember two years ago again, and at the same time experience another victory two years ago."
"Follow your orders."
Having said that, they all laughed unanimously.
no.303 situation comparison
The rain filled the sky, and after the footsteps, the ground was filled with muddy water.
In this rainy weather, Lucifer took the knights to the Victory Fortress.
This fortress named after Boudicca is the gateway to the British East and the most critical strategic location.
However, it is said that, but there is also a part of the territory east of the fortress that requires Britain.
However, it is in a plain area and there is almost no danger to defend, so the main defensive place is still in the fortress.
Of course, it's the same in Rome, and their Yellender Fortress is actually based on the terrain.
Therefore, the boundary between the two countries is actually very blurred.In many cases, only a small **** can be used as the boundary.
In addition, this is a high-speed belt of war, and there are hardly any civilians.
Lucifer, led by Buholmka, came to the battle meeting room of the fortress.At this time, there were already many generals waiting here.
After seeing Lucifer, their leadership in Lungominiad immediately saluted Lucifer.
"No need to be polite."
Lucifer raised his hand and gestured.
After speaking, he came to the already prepared sand table and carefully watched the current battle comparison.
"How is the situation now"
With that said, Lucifer looked at the coach Lungominiad here, this is the first time they have officially worked together on the battlefield.
"Stalemate.
The main force of the opponent's front has a total of three 3 regular legions staying near Yoria, with a total force of 80,000.The other mixed legions have not appeared for the time being.
As for our side, at present, the main force can only be called the more than 30,000 troops of the Northern Army that I brought, and the 20,000 troops that Marshal Boudicca had previously preserved.
The other 60,000 are recruits, and there are 10,000 reserve troops."
Lungominiad pointed to the sand table and spoke seriously about the current force comparison between the two sides.
On the surface, it seems that Britain still has an advantage.
But in many cases, the strength of troops in a war cannot be measured by numbers at all.
