The King of Knights in a Different World

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

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

Lucifer also arranged a corresponding plan.

At this time, Lucifer was already standing in the city of Venice. After a month of attack and 20,000 casualties, Lucifer finally entered Venice.

Most of the casualties were injured, but not many were actually killed. Lucifer had 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 opponent gave up the city on its own initiative.

In fact, even if they didn't give up, given the situation at the time, it wouldn't take much time to capture this place.

But it is a pity that the opponent really couldn't stand this kind of non-stop attack, and finally retreated secretly in the dark.

And left 20,000 troops behind to show off.

Considering that the subsequent attack on Macedonia would require troops and that the opponent might have an ambush, Lucifer did not order a pursuit, but began to secretly mobilize troops as soon as possible.

In fact, my original plan was to attack the opponent when he was tired and draw all the opponent's attention to his side. Then, the two Cavalry Gods suddenly burst out of the water, catching the opponent off guard.

But now this plan is completely useless.

Now the Venetian legions, with their remaining main force, were withdrawing towards the royal city of Rome.

At the same time, the large armies confronting Ross in the north also retreated, and the two armies met in Bologna.

They are preparing to defend the royal city here.

Faced with this situation, after Lucifer captured Venice, he openly announced a temporary rest and held a celebration banquet.

This is a very strange thing for the knights who are familiar with Lucifer. In their opinion, this is not normal.

Because Lucifer didn't do this when he conquered the Royal City of France before, but he did it now.

They obviously had ideas, but they didn't ask.

But follow orders.

Compared to Lucifer's pause in attacking, Rose's footsteps did not stop. Their army continued to advance and was approaching Bologna.

On a piece of green grass, Ekaterina was looking at the huge city in the distance.

That is Bologna. As long as this city is captured, the royal city of Rome will appear. If the royal city can be captured, the strongest emperor of Russia, the Thunder Emperor, will finish what she has not finished.

Of course, Catherine also knew that she did not actually defeat Nero. It was Nero who took the initiative to withdraw his troops. The most fundamental reason was that the pressure from Britain was very strong.

She only kept her troops in one place.

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

Before this, the Thunder Emperor had never attacked this place, but she came here.

Only one step away.

Regardless of whether Rome withdraws its troops on its own initiative, she can now loudly declare to the Russians at home her ability as empress.

Although this political capital was given by Lucifer, she was also happy to accept it.

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

They only knew that their queen had entered the interior of Rome. If Rome had not been defeated, how could the queen have entered the interior.

And this is exactly what Ekaterina needs.

Of course, she also understands that this can only deceive people in the country. If she wants the entire army here to be convinced by her, she must have some real achievements, not gifts from others.

Because of this, Ekaterina was eager to march. She was... worried that Lucifer would take Bologna before him. If so, her situation might be very embarrassing.

Others would only think that she was a woman who was lucky enough to be in the lap of the King of Knights.

Thinking of the news that Lucifer began to rest after taking Venice, Ekaterina couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

At this time, she was not laughing at Lucifer's arrogance, but at Lucifer's passion.

Because in Ekaterina's view, there was obviously a reason why Lucifer suddenly stopped like this.

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

Lucifer was thinking about her, so he left this opportunity to show off.

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

Even though these were just her imagination, Lucifer's thoughts were not like this at all.

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

In the temporary office, Lucifer had just sent a messenger from Ross.

The messenger sent a letter from Catherine. Most of the letter was nonsense. Lucifer read it for a long time but found nothing useful.

The only useful thing is probably...the other party said that she would attack Bologna with all her strength.

After seeing this, considering my future plans, I wrote a serious reply.

Most of the letters contained encouragement and support, as well as a lot of concern.

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

Leave your back to me.

After the messenger left, Lucifer summoned Mia.

"This time I leave it to you again, my reliable knight."

Lucifer said gently.

"Even if Ross is defeated, I will defend this place.

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, don't think about fighting anyone without my order.

Even if I give up all the Roman territory in front of me, I don’t want to lose you, understand?”

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

"Um."

There was rare warmth in Mia's voice.

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

This is the design drawing, take it and take a look."

Having said this, Lucifer took out another scroll and put it into Mia's hand.

"King, no, Lucifer, how long will it take for this war in Britain to end?"

"If everything goes well, it can be solved 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."

As he spoke, Lucifer pulled Mira and held her in his arms.

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

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

"Um."

no.558 What a waste

When he first entered the city, Lucifer used the excuse of transporting the wounded to send soldiers in batches to the Lyon Fortress, and then secretly sent more troops to the east fortress under various names.

So the people on Lyon's side who couldn't see clearly what was going on got the news that Britain's attack had suffered heavy losses, otherwise there would not have been so many wounded.

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

Many wooden warships in Britain were burned down by a group of unknown people, but half of them were saved due to Radek's discovery in time.

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

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

Even Drake himself feels the same way.

She reported the matter to Lucifer, who held her accountable for her dereliction of duty and chose to reduce her salary and temporarily suspend her employment. Edward temporarily took over Drake's work.

As soon as Edward came to power, he declared martial law in the entire street, especially where the battleships were located.

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

And Hassan, who was lurking here, also passed the news back completely.

After Aristotle lost more than half of the British battleships and even Drake was temporarily suspended, he temporarily gave up his thoughts on the seaside.

At the same time, because Siegfried from the west had already led his men to approach the fortress, he decided after thinking about it to transfer Perdiccas from the south to the west.

In this way, there will be three generals guarding the west.

At this moment, Lucifer was leading Leia on a secret march to the east.

This time Lucifer did not plan to attack from the sea again, but asked the two gods to take the riding gods to the sea.

Let the two of them pilot the Hyperion and the newly launched Eternal Star on their behalf.

"Is what happened in Calais true?"

After Leah saw the message on the paper, her expression was a little subtle.

"Yes! Although it can be faked, it...can't necessarily deceive people.

So what was burned was really correct.

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

Such an honorable exit is not bad."

Lucifer truthfully told the current situation.

It would be more credible to deceive people and burn the real thing, although losing more than thirty wooden boats at one time is still a loss.

But I can still accept it.

Moreover, when all of his steel battleships are commissioned, these things will be decommissioned.

"An honorable exit..."

"yes.

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

Since it was impossible to sell the warships, I made use of them for the last time."

Warships are different from merchant ships. If a merchant ship is no longer used, it can be sold directly.

But if warships were sold directly, anyone who dared to take over them would be sent to the gallows.

If it falls into the hands of pirates, it will be another headache.

I have never doubted the gravity of the sins that can be committed for money.

Of course, reasonable disassembly may be an option.

But the current problem is that there is a lot of money to dismantle the ship.

After thinking about it, using them to complete a strategy is not as loss-making as imagined.

Speaking of which, Leah didn't go to the ship anymore.

It's true that she is frugal by nature, but if it's for strategy, she's not someone who doesn't know how to adapt.

She is now more worried about whether this can be successful.

"It's Gawain and Te who are going to the beach this time. I don't know if they can be as successful as you.

As long as they can attract the main force of Macedonia, they will be successful.

Although from now on, Aristotle has relaxed the defense on the seaside and Alexander has captured half of Helen, their navy will definitely be able to detect us in advance.
