The King of Knights in a Different World
Chapter 4
"Duke George, do you have anything else you want to say. If the four dukes cannot agree, there may be unexpected changes in the succession ceremony." Lungominiad said at the right moment.
The situation in front of him is already very clear, because Lucifer just said that the three big princes have already recognized his qualifications as king. In the end, only one was left.
"I... agree. But there is one last question." St. George hesitated for a long time before finally making a choice.
Three to one if he disagrees. Britain is likely to face civil war.
"Let's go, I am not the kind of tyrant who can't even listen to the words of the courtiers. It is also the responsibility of the king to listen to the words of the courtiers." Lucifer looked at St. George indifferently, neither happy nor complacent in his words. .
"Let me see your strength."
When the words fell, Saint George pulled out the holy sword on his waist, and the sword in his hand had already been slashed towards Lucifer. Just as the blade was about to touch Lucifer, a golden light flashed from his hand, and after that, the sword in St. George's hand was already flying into the air. And he himself took a few steps back.
"Do you want to continue?" Lucifer's left hand was still under the cloak, and the holy sword in his right hand had just knocked away the sword in George's hand.
"Knight Joeljos swears to you that in this life I will follow in your footsteps until death. Please be kind to the king's blood."
"Your loyalty, I accept it. It's just that you probably made a mistake. I never thought about what to do with them." Withdrawing the sword, Lucifer took the initiative to walk towards the door. He handed over the next thing to the four grand princes.
After a long time, the atmosphere in the hall finally returned to normal.
"Everyone, how do you feel?" Lungominiad looked at the other three grand princes indifferently.
"I'm very satisfied, our new king." Semiramis made his own judgment.
"Perhaps no one in Britain is more suitable to be a king than him. Lungominiad, where did you find him?" Budika smiled and said his thoughts.
"I didn't find him, he found me."
"I also have to admit that compared to the first king. He may be more suitable for the title of king, but this courage may also bring Britain into the abyss of war." Although St. George's words are also affirmative, they reveal some concerns.
"I will think about the next thing later. If he can let Britain dominate the mainland, I would be happy to see this situation." Semiramis held the opposite opinion. *
no.11Who agrees and who opposes (seeking votes, flowers)
In the royal city of Britain, the white flag flutters in the wind.
Today is the last day to draw the sword, and almost all the knights came to the scene. They are waiting anxiously, waiting for the legendary man who can draw the sword to appear.
Lucifer had made a strategy with the four grand princes yesterday. Taking into account the acceptance of the people, Lucifer temporarily put the sword back and asked Merlin, a third-rate magician, to spread the rumors around. The content of the rumors was nothing more than A man of destiny has appeared, he can draw the legendary sword of choosing the king.
Thousands of knights are surrounding the sword of the king. All of them have drawn their swords. They are not unwilling to fail. I just want to witness the birth of the king with my own eyes and serve it.
After waiting for a long time, they finally saw Lucifer appeared in a blue and white armor. Behind him was his direct knight Ji, Altria. The shiny white armor was particularly conspicuous, as if it was taken from Lucifer's momentum. The knights unconsciously stepped back, and they gave way to the strange knight.
Lucifer came to the side of the sword to draw the king, holding the sword in one hand, he easily drew it out of the stone. In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky were dissipated, and a golden light fell directly, reflecting on his whole body.
"The one who drew this sword is the King of Britain. Give me the loyalty of yours." Lucifer uttered this famous saying, holding up the holy sword in his hand.
For a while, many knights lowered their heads unconsciously and knelt down on one knee. They had waited for this person to appear for too long. However, not everyone is like this, a blond knight came straight to Lucifer when everyone was kneeling.
"I can't agree! You are not the blood of the king." Knight Gawain stood up.
Next to him are a group of knights similar to him, and they have doubts about the sword of the king. If the person drawing the sword is one of them, they may not be like this, but Lucifer is a knight who has never seen him before. Even though the armor has the emblem of the lion duke, they still Can not accept.
Lucifer was not angry when faced with the blatant attack by the knights who are Gawain, on the contrary, he was very happy. Altria squeezed the sword in her hand, she was about to start to let the ignorant in front of her understand the cost of offending the king, but Lucifer raised her hand and signaled that she didn't need to do it.
"Tell me, Knight. Are you looking at the blood of the royal family, or the heritage of this country for a long time?"
Originally, I wondered if I wanted to kill the chicken and the monkey. Did this chicken jump out so soon?
In order for people to recognize their own strength, at least on the surface they recognize their identity as the king. Lucifer needs a fact that everyone can accept, and this fact is naturally composed of strength.
"Not so, but I can't accept a king who doesn't even know his name. If you want me to identify with it, then show it to me and use the sword in your hand." Gawain looked at Lucifer seriously, speaking between words. Not only did he fail to recognize Lucille as the king, he even drew his sword.
"Young knight, do you know what you are doing? It is a capital crime to dare to face the king's blade!" Lucifer looked at Gawain calmly, his words full of majesty.
"If you defeat me and prove your qualifications as a king, I am willing to die. But if you can't even do this, you are not qualified to be a king. This king is chaotic enough, and we can't let him continue chaos. . For this, we need a powerful king."
Gawain's words were supported by some high-level knights, and some neutral knights were shaken by this, but some knights still bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.
"Yes! Gawain is right!"
"Yes! Britain doesn't need a fragile king"
…
For a time, the sentiment was infuriated. Lucifer looked at the many knights in front of him, and roughly understood the group they belonged to.
"It seems that this is not only your wish, but also the wish of all of you. Well, although the offenses you have committed to me because of ignorance are countless, I still have the tolerance of being a king. But you all have to give me too. Listen carefully, I can only tolerate once." Lucifer opened his arms and announced loudly to the surroundings. After speaking, he returned to his mind and looked at Xiang Gaowen.
"Draw your sword, Gao Wenqing. Use the sword in your hand to verify if I am worthy of your service."
Gawain's body burst out with a powerful flow of magical power, and the golden light was like the sun. With a move, he rushed towards Lucifer with swords in both hands.
At twenty meters, Lucifer didn't move.
At ten meters, Lucifer still didn't move.
At five meters, Lucifer was as calm as before.
Just when everyone thought that the newly-born king was so frightened by Gao Wen’s charge that he couldn’t move, suddenly there was a “click” in the air, an orange light flashed, and the sword in Gao Wen’s hand had been beaten. Fly into the air.
Gao Wen stayed and stared at his hands that had no swords for a long time, and was stunned at a position three meters away from Lucifer, the sword in the sky turned straight and fell into the ground in front of him.
One blow, just one blow, and the knight's sword flew away. The absolute overwhelming advantage made everyone in the audience suddenly lose their ability to speak. *
no.12 Knights (seeking tickets, flowers)
Knight Gawain may not be the strongest among them, but he is also in the front row. No knight had ever thought that someone would hit the sword in his hand with one blow, and I am afraid that even Gawain himself hadn't thought about this result.
This time, no one dared to question Lucifer's strength as a king. Although other parties don't know yet, there is no doubt that Lucifer has qualified just as a force.
"Knight Gawain, he is disrespectful to the king. Willing to die..." At this moment, Gawain knelt down and lowered his head.
"Your disrespect stems from your loyalty to the country. I don't hate your loyalty. But I can't forgive you for your sins. Then, Knight Gawain, are you willing to accept any punishment."
Lucifer's words made Gawain prepare for the worst. He knew that offending the king was a capital crime. But he did not regret it.
"Yes!"
"I now formally appoint you as the chief knight of the round table, directly under the national knights of this country. Those who take you, go south with me and drive France out of this land."
"king!"
This time, Gao Wen was stunned. Lucifer didn't care about his complicated and moved expression, he retracted his sword and announced it loudly to all the knights present.
"Everyone here, listen. From now on, I declare that the Knights of the Round Table are officially established. Gawain is the first knight and the chief knight. Take your loyalty and go to the front! I will justify your honor and allow The best knight among you joins the Knights."
Lucifer's words made the scene boil, glory and self-esteem, the country and the people. Forgiving the rebellious king because of his loyalty, his prestige reached its peak at this moment. Not to mention that Lucifer gave this honor to the knights of his men in the name of the king.
"Yes!" Gawain put one hand on his chest, tears running across his eyes.
That's right. They have been waiting for such a king to appear for too long.
"Wang!" With this voice, the crowd directly began to cheer.
In this lively crowd, Altria smiled and looked at her arm. In the end, her eyes turned to Lucifer, her eyes already determined.
In a tall building in the royal city, the four grand princes witnessed everything just now with their own eyes. Originally, they were discussing to help Lucifer suppress the situation, but they were a little worried after being rejected directly by Lucifer. But now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.
"Not bad! The situation is much better than expected, and there will be a new force immediately. The pressure on the front line will also be less." Semiramis supported his chin with one hand, half leaning against the guardrail. At the end, she looked at Lucifer in her eyes full of interest.
"Become a private king's knights on the spot, so as to gather the vitality in Yun, and supplement his guard. With very skilled hands, our new king doesn't seem to be the type that only has power. Lungominia De, isn't this really what you taught him?" Budika looked at the goddess next to him with some surprise.
Most of the knights here were originally not guards of the royal family. They belonged to different places and different families. But in this case, Lucifer made the decision to form the Knights, and other people couldn't stop it. Even if they were reluctant, they could only watch these knights join the king's command.
After all, the knight's loyalty is there, and if anyone says he doesn't want it now, he will immediately become a target of public criticism.
As far as the result is concerned, Lucifer got a new army in vain. Regardless of the future fate of this army, at least it can be used now.
"If the person standing there was me, the knight is dead. I wouldn't use such a method, and I'm not good at it." Gominyade responded calmly to her.
If she were the king, she would not forgive the rebellious knight. With his blood, other people can understand that the king's majesty cannot be offended, and even make other weak people feel fear. She didn't have Lucifer's method. It's not unexpected, it's just that I don't think about it because of my personality.
"Oh! That's right, that's his own ability."
"Wang's ability has been reassuring, everyone, the next step is to see if we can tide over this difficulty." Saint George made a summary for this assessment.
Compared to Lucifer's small difficulties now, there are still greater difficulties waiting for them.
Ross in the north, Rome in the east, France in the south, and Britain surrounded by the Three Kingdoms will face a real test. *
no.13 also play two-line operation (seeking tickets, flowers)
The royal city has just entered the night, and the knights who have just gathered are getting ready to go. The next day, they will set off to the front line, they are high-spirited and ready to completely beat the invading French people back to their hometown under the leadership of the new king.
Inside the royal city, Semiramis’ private luxury manor has been under martial law, and there are two types of knights’ badges guarding this place. At this moment, the four grand princes and the new king are discussing how to solve the plight of the country. Originally, St. George was going to let Lucifer directly enter the palace, but Lucifer temporarily declined because the situation is too chaotic.
Although there is only a nominal princess left in the royal family, no one knows whether there is a spy there. Discussing secrets in such a place is simply seeking death. In this regard, the princes also agreed. The Duke of West also used his private estate as a place for consultation.
After a simple opening, Semiramis went directly to the subject. Of the four princes, Gominyade is the strongest. Boudicca is good at defense. Saint George is a handsome talent with both offensive and defensive capabilities. She is more good at intelligence and power.
Britain has fought for years, and it has not completely collapsed after becoming this ghost. A large part of it is because of the existence of the four of them.
"Now there is a good news and a bad news, Wang, which one do you want to listen to first?" Semiramis's smile felt more like watching a play.
Lucifer looked at her, always feeling that the so-called good news might not be so good.
"Good news." He said directly.
"Hey! I thought Wang would listen to the bad news first, like most people do. Then, after hearing the good news, the mood will improve."
"There is enough bad news now. Let me relax by listening to the good news first."
"The good news is that the three legions of the Grey Eagle, Nightmare, and Flying Dragon of France temporarily chose to rest after they captured the White Rock Fortress, and did not continue to attack the Dragonscale Fortress. Our last line of defense in the south is still there. The king has selected, Joe. Erjos can also immediately return to Dragonscale to command operations."
"This is good news? Are there any decisive misunderstandings between our perceptions of good news and bad news?"
Lucifer quietly listened to the good news from Semiramis, but he didn't know why, but he always felt that this news had nothing to do with the so-called good news. Judging from the current situation, this is all good news, and it is hard to imagine the bad news.
"Compared with the next news, it is indeed good news."
"Let's talk! My heart is very good, no matter what news I hear." Lucifer waved her to continue.
Even if she said that the Romans had come to the edge of the royal city, Lucifer could accept it.
"Then I'll be straight. There is news from Ross in the frozen ground to the north. The Lei Di has issued a mobilization order. Four animalized legions are being assembled. Once the assembly is completed, this force with a total of more than 100,000 may go south at any time. According to previous intelligence, they are preparing to invade this royal city in one fell swoop."
After Semiramis finished speaking, the expressions of the other three did not change, and they had heard the news before they wanted to come. They were still watching Lucifer's reaction at the same time.
Lucifer felt that although there was pressure, it was not too much.
"How do you feel that we are about to face the risk of fighting on the two fronts. Didn't Gominyade fear this group of barbarians before?" As he said, he looked at the goddess duke beside him.
These days, I have been sitting in Gominyade’s house. Thanks to a certain maid, Lucifer has listened to a legend about the lion goddess. It is said that before she guards the north, Rose has always been a big problem, but after her, at least there is no need to worry too much about Rose's invasion.
"Their way of fighting is very barbaric. If they don't fight them once for a period of time, they will forget that they have suffered. This has been the case for years." Gominyade calmly stated a fact.
"That's it, it's just a beating in short, right. Is there any more? If it's just like this, with our goddess, the situation is not too bad." Lucifer somewhat understood the current situation in the north.
To put it simply, Ross's invasion made it impossible for Lungominiad to appear in the south to help, but at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the problems in the north.
"Then I will continue. To the east, even though Emperor Caligula of the Holy Roman Empire is seriously ill, he still ordered the three legions of the sword emperor Lucius to march west. As for the reason, it seems to be listening. When we arrived south of us, we were defeated by the French, so we were also ready to do it." Semiramis confirmed that Lucifer could bear the bad news, and then broke out a more bad news.
Not only in the north, the Holy Roman Empire in the east and west also has the idea of taking the opportunity to make trouble. The Roman army is much stronger than the barbarians in the north, even though the north has an advantage in numbers.
For a moment, Lucifer somewhat understood why the four dukes were silent, and there was no joy in the coronation of the new king.
Ok! Although I thought this was a mess before, I didn't expect the problem to be more serious than I thought. There are troubles in the south, north, and east. Fortunately, there is the sea to the west, so there won't be anything... um! and many more…*
no.14 will not be stolen (please ask for tickets, ask for flowers)
Thinking of the west, Lucifer officially confirmed to the Duke of the West.
"Three-line combat.... That, Duke Semiramis. Let me ask one more question. There is nothing wrong with the west. It is already a three-line combat. If there is a pirate or the like from the west, this country will almost be over."
At present, the domestic internal worries have not been completely resolved, and the external problems have continued. If something happens to the west, even if the other three sides are fine in the end, it will be fatal.
"It's okay to the west, but it's just okay for the time being."
Compared to the problems of the other three sides, the quietness of the west is somewhat unusual. Even if it is a sea, the living standards of the people on this continent are not bad, and battleships or something can definitely be made.
