As long as the fleet is destroyed, they can at least buy a lot of time.

In fact, the order Aristotle gave Hassan soon appeared in Lucifer's hands.

Lucifer also arranged a corresponding plan here.

At this time Lucifer was already standing in Venice.After a month of offensive, with 20,000 casualties, Lucifer finally entered Venice.

Most of the casualties were injuries, but there were not many who were actually killed.Lucifer had already treated them as soon as he entered the city.

However, it may not be accurate to say that it was captured.It should be said that the other party took the initiative to abandon the city.

In fact, even if they don't give up, given the situation at the time, it doesn't take much time for them to conquer this place.

But it is a pity that the other party can't stand this kind of uninterrupted attack, and finally retreat secretly taking advantage of the dark night.

And left 20,000 troops after installation.

Considering that the subsequent attack on Macedonia requires troops, and the other party may have an ambush, Lucifer did not order the pursuit, but immediately began to secretly deploy troops.

In fact, my plan was to take advantage of the other party's exhaustion to attack and draw all the attention of the other party to my side, and then the two riding gods suddenly shot out of the water and hit each other by surprise.

But now this plan is not used at all.

Now the Legion in Venice with the remaining main force withdrew towards the direction of the Roman city.

At the same time, the large army facing Ross to the north also retreated at the same time, and the two armies Bologna converged.

They are ready to defend the royal city here.

Faced with this situation, Lucifer publicly announced a temporary rest after taking Venice and held a celebration banquet.

This is a very strange thing for the knights who are familiar with Lucifer, in their opinion this is abnormal.

Because Lucifer didn't do it when he took down the French city before, but now he has done it.

Obviously there are ideas, but they didn't ask.

Instead, follow orders.

Compared to Lucifer's suspension of the offensive, Rose's footsteps did not stop.Their army continued to advance and was already approaching Bologna.

On a piece of cyan turf, Ekaterina was looking at the huge city in the distance.

There is Bologna.As long as this city is captured, the royal city of Rome will appear.If the royal city can be taken, the strongest emperor of Rose will be completed by her if he does not complete the matter.

Of course, Ekaterina also knew that she did not actually defeat Nilu, but Nero took the initiative to withdraw the army.The most fundamental reason was that the pressure on Britain was very high.

She was only armed in one place.

But what does it matter?It is a fact that she is standing on this land now.

Before that, Lei Di had never attacked this place, and she came here.

Only one step away.

Whether or not Rome took the initiative to withdraw its troops, she can now loudly announce to the Russ in the country her ability as a queen.

Although Lucifer gave this political capital, she is also willing to accept it.

The most important thing is that the Ross people don't know.

They only know that their empress has reached the interior of Rome, if it weren't for Rome to be defeated, how could the empress enter the interior.

And this is exactly what Ekaterina needs.

Of course, she also understands that this can only fool the people in the country.If she wants the entire army here to convince her, she must have some real achievements, not others.

Because of this, Ekaterina was eager to march, she was... worried that Lucifer would take Bologna one step ahead of him, and her situation might be embarrassing if this were the case.

Others would only think that she is a lucky woman who can hold the thigh of the Knight King.

Thinking of the news that Lucifer started to rest after taking Venice, Ekaterina couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, she was not laughing at Lucifer's arrogance, but at Lucifer's affectionateness.

Because in Ekaterina's opinion, Lucifer stopped suddenly for a reason.

For now, there is only one reason for that, and that is for her.

Lucifer was thinking about her, so she left this opportunity for performance.

Thinking of this, Ekaterina couldn't help but laugh, and her gaze towards the distant city became more and more determined.

Although these are her brain supplements, Lucifer's idea is not the same at all.

But she was thinking this way, it was... fact to her.

In the temporary office, Lucifer just sent a messenger to Rose.

The messenger sent a letter from Ekaterina, most of which were nonsense, and Lucifer did not find anything useful after watching it for a long time.

The only thing that works is probably... the other party said that she will take Bologna with all her strength.

After seeing this, considering my future plans, I also wrote a letter in earnest.

Most of the letters are encouragement and support, and there is still a lot of concern.

But in fact, there is only one sentence in summary, that is: try your best to attack the city, I support you.

Leave the rest to me.

After the messenger left, Lucifer summoned Mia.

"I'll give it to you again this time, my reliable knight."

Lucifer said gently.

"Even if Rose loses later, I will keep here.

Please leave it to me."

Mia firmly stated her promise.

"Remember, your life is the most important treasure to me.

Since you are already my knight and my woman, then don't think about who you are going to fight with without my order.

Even if I give up all the Roman territories in front of me, I don't want to lose you, understand?"

In order to prevent the woman in front of her from doing stupid things, Lucifer let her know her identity in advance.

"Ok."

There is a rare warmth in Mia's voice.

"This city is not a strong city, so after I leave, you can start to strengthen it.

This is the design drawing, you can take a look at it."

Having said that, Lucifer took out another scroll and put it in Mia's hands.

"King, no, Lucifer, how long will this war of Britain end?"

"If it goes well, it will be resolved within five years.

If it doesn't go well, it will only take ten years at most.

Then you can be a mother with peace of mind."

During the words, Lucifer pulled Mira and hugged her in his arms.

Mira also wanted to be a mother, but she didn't want her child to be born in the war years, so she said more than once that she wanted to have children after the war ended.

Because of this, Lucifer didn't use her a few times in total.

"Ok."

no.558 waste

When he first entered the city, Lucifer used the transportation of wounded as a reason to send soldiers to the fortress of Lyon in batches, and then secretly increased troops to the fortress in the east under various names.

So the people in Lyon who couldn't see what happened before got the news that Britain's offensive suffered a heavy loss, otherwise it would not have so many wounded.

Just as Lucifer was shifting troops, a big event suddenly happened in Calais to the south.

Many wooden warships in Britain were burned down by a group of people of unknown origin, and because Redke found out that they were half rescued in time.

But even so, the British navy could not move much in a short period of time.

At least on the surface.

Even Drake himself felt so.

She reported the incident to Lucifer, who was held accountable for her dereliction of duty and chose to cut her salary while temporarily suspending it. Drake's job was temporarily taken over by Edward.

As soon as Edward came to power, he declared martial law throughout the alley, especially where the battleship was located.

At the same time, warships were sent to tow some warships with less heavy losses back to Edinburgh for maintenance.

And lurking here, Hassan also passed the news back in its entirety.

After Aristotle lost more than half of the British battleship, and even Drake was temporarily deactivated, he temporarily let go of his mind on the seaside.

At the same time, because Ziegfei in the west had already brought people closer to the fortress, after thinking about it, he decided to transfer Perdicus from the south to the west.

In this way, there are three generals guarding the west.

At this moment, Lucifer was leading Leah secretly marching eastward.

This time Lucifer did not intend to attack from the sea again, but let the two gods take the riding **** to the sea.

Let the two of them drive Huberian and the latest Eternal Star instead of themselves.

"Is Calais true?"

Leah had a subtle expression after seeing the message on the paper.

"Yes! Although it can be fake, but that... it may not deceive people.

So it's really right to be burned.

However, anyway...I plan to retire them.

Such a glorious exit is not bad."

Lucifer told the truth about the current situation.

It is more credible to deceive people to burn the real thing, although the loss of more than 30 wooden boats at a time is also a loss.

But I can still accept it.

And when his steel battleships were all lined up, these things would have been retired.

"Glorious exit..."

"Yup.

You must know that after retirement, they may only become attractions for people to visit.

Because it’s impossible for warships to be sold, I just used them for the last time."

Warships are different from merchant ships, if they are not used, they can be sold directly.

But if things like warships are sold directly, those who dare to take over are basically enough to send them to the gallows.

If it falls into the hands of pirates, it is a headache.

I have never doubted the heaviness of the sins that people can commit for money.

Of course, reasonable disassembly may be an option.

But the problem now is that there is a lot of money for shipbreaking.

Thinking about it, using them to complete a strategy is not as losing money as imagined.

Speaking of which, Leah did not go to Kejian again.

She is right to be economical, but if it is a strategy, she is not so unaware of flexibility.

She is now more worried about whether this will succeed.

"The one going to the beach this time is Gawain and Te. I don't know if they can be as successful as you.

They are considered successful as long as they can attract the main force of Macedonia.

Although from now on, Aristotle has relaxed the defense of the seaside, and Alexander has shot half of Helen, their navy will definitely find us in advance.
