I am confident that I can win this war, but the problem is, in case I really use too much force, or if I make too much mistake on the other side.

Turning this defensive battle into the previous annihilation battle would be no fun."

Lucifer's words made Lungominiad understand the meaning of those four words.

"You are worried that Rome at that time will attack us as the biggest threat, and this will let the Lei Di take advantage of us."

"Yes! That's what I meant.

Originally, our agreement was...The Emperor used Rome as his main target, and I took the opportunity to attack France.

That's why I want to clarify this point here.

I need to draw the Thunder to take action, and at the same time not let us absorb the attention of Rome's main force.

It's that simple.

This is the strategic intention this time."

If the speculation is correct, the display of strong military power in this situation will only make Caligula more uneasy, and proper display of weakness will allow him to continue to focus on Lei Di.

"After doing it for a long time, you are worried that the victory will be too great.

Do we join the chase?"

Budika couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Yes! That's what I meant."

Lucifer expressed her concern.

If you win a big victory later, if the people below want to continue to expand the results, Lucifer is confident that he can suppress others.

But if it was Boudicca and Lungominiad, although they would also obey orders.

But it is better to explain this kind of thing in advance.

Otherwise, they will follow along, and the situation may be out of control.

"Is it really necessary?"

Lungominiad still had doubts at this time.

"If you can kill your opponent at one time and occupy the fruit of victory.

Of course it is not necessary, but the problem is that we can't do it.

Understand, we can't do it yet.

If now I get the whole of France.

With the power of the two countries, it can be ignored.

But unfortunately, we don't.

The relationship between countries is changing all the time, so we must always understand who is the main enemy and who is the secondary enemy.

Who will become our enemy later, who may be used by me."

Lucifer talked about his considerations as a king.

If you only think about this war, it is the best course to expand the results and maximize the victory.

But the problem is that in case you fight for life and death on your own side, you will let others pick up the ready-made ones.

I couldn't cry even if I cried.

Not to mention that there is France next to him as an old enemy.

Judging from the current domestic situation in France, no matter who the three princes became kings, their first idea was probably to defeat the old enemy of Britain.

This kind of relationship with national feud is completely different from Rome's strategic intentions, and at the same time it is more dangerous.

Because they probably can't listen to people at all.

"So, our current main enemy is France"

"You can understand that."

In response, Lucifer officially responded.

no.305 The mentality of the Roman emperor

At night, there is still a flash of fire in the study of the Emperor's palace in Rome.

Originally this should be a time to rest, but unfortunately, a series of recent actions in Rome prevented the emperor from taking a rest.

At this moment, the emperor has two most trusted strategists beside him, and they are discussing the recent and future of Rome.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided?"

Seneca, one of the emperor's close ministers, looked at the emperor behind the desk worriedly.

"My time is running out. While I still have the strength to swing my sword, I must deal with the powerful enemy outside for Nero.

At least they must not be able to come out and make trouble when Nero is crowned."

Caligula's expression is getting older.

Recently, he feels that his body is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't know how long he can live.

In fact, an emperor like them fought all the time, and at the same time suffered a whole body of pain.

It's just a joke to want to enjoy your old age.

Virgil, another close minister, also expressed his concerns.

"We understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts, but whether such a large-scale military operation is a bit hasty.

If there is a problem in one of the links, the subsequent layout must also be changed."

Taking the war in the south as an opportunity, concentrated superior forces to defeat the main enemies, leaving them unable to covet Rome for a short time.

There is no problem with this strategy itself.

But the problem lies in the accidents that may occur during execution.

On the surface, the first step of their strategy has been completed.

The next step is to complete the second step by repelling France's offense.

After that, aim at Britain and complete the third step.

Then concentrate all current forces to defeat Rose.

The west and south sides will disappear in the next few years.

But the question is whether things can go so smoothly.

Leaving aside France, it was obvious that the British side had already seen something, so they would take the initiative to attack.

In this case, the biggest variable is still Rose.

"But from the current point of view, the plan is going very well, isn't it?

Next, as long as France is defeated under Nero's command, Nero will gain a huge reputation in the country, and while stabilizing the country, it can also make foreign threats disappear."

Caligula spoke out what was in his mind.

He was not worried about the war in the south.It can be said that after Dracula defeated Macedonia, the war in the south became a tool for Nero's reputation.

Now his eyes are focused on the west and north, especially the north.

"But on Rose's side..., Lei Di hasn't moved yet, but from the intelligence point of view, he has secretly assembled a large number of troops.

This time his offense will probably be more violent than any previous time."

Seneca continued.

There is a ghost inside their Ross, but even so, the situation is still very vague.

It is conceivable that Rose's actions this time may be far more than before.

This is where he is worried.

"This is also expected.

Ever since I used a trick to calculate, let him fight the hero king in a battle that hurt both sides.

He has been: self-cultivation, and now Britain is still with him, he has waited for this opportunity for twenty years, and he will never stop if he does not beat Rome once."

Caligula nodded and gestured to understand.

Twenty years ago, the double attack of the Roman face and the hero king at that time.

At that time, the emperor knew that he could not beat them, so he took the initiative to retreat and gave up most of the land in the north.

At that time, Ligula was timid to play this trick.

But then it proved that he was right.

In the land of no owner, the Lei Di and the Hero King, the two originally non-aligned kings, fought a battle over the territorial issue, and in the end they lost both.

Then Rome sent troops again and took advantage of this opportunity to regain lost ground.

The success of this strategy of retreat for advancement caused the two powers to suffer a big loss, and it was also talked about for later generations.

It is precisely because of the previous example that Caligula understands how dangerous it is.

Originally, before Lucifer and Lei Di allied, he also wanted to use this method to provoke Ross and Britain.

But the problem is that Lucifer has never accepted his provocation.

"In that case, I still stick to my previous views.

It is not a wise choice to take the initiative to fight Britain at this time. We should concentrate our efforts on Ross."

"Do you think so, Seneca.

Virgil, what do you think"

As he said, the emperor looked at another tactician.

"Okay! Or not! It's somewhere in between.

The advantage of actively attacking Britain now is that as long as Britain is resolved as soon as possible, we don't have to worry about the Knight King coming out to make trouble when we deal with Rose later.

But...the disadvantage is that if we can't solve the forces on the east side of Britain in a short time and let the forces fall in, the result may be very troublesome."

Virgil expressed his opinion.

He did not insist or oppose, but talked about the pros and cons of the current war.

Rather than waiting until the Lei Di attacked and Lucifer came out to make trouble, they took the initiative to go out and beat Lucifer to make him feel safe afterwards.

This seems like a good idea.

The only problem is that if they can't fight, or even get into a stalemate, it may even give Lei Di a certain illusion.

"You worry that Alash will be defeated."

"I'm not sure of your Majesty! The opposite is the Knight King, and at the same time he still has the Ice Blood Demon in his hand.

If used properly, it is not difficult to defeat the three 3rd Corps.

It’s like he did it in two years."

"That's why I gave orders to Alash and them, letting them wipe out the opponent's forces.

I don't need to siege the city, and I don't need the land of Britain.

Just exhaust the strength of the Knight King, and he will not be able to go east."

The emperor's thoughts were also very clear, and he did not want to attack Britain.

I just want to consume Britain's military power and make Britain unable to do things afterwards.

"Judging from the battle reports on the front line, the Knight King has clearly discovered this.

He has not been dispatched."

Seneca also continued to speak at this time.

"This is exactly what I used to say, his terrible place.

His brain is very clear and always understands what he should do first and what should be afterwards.
