The King of Knights in a Different World

"Cold frost from the painting world, freeze everything." A swirl of frost rolled up on the holy sword held high, and Lucifer aimed it at the surface of the river forcefully.

A strong ice storm spurted out from the sword, and quickly swept the river in front of him to the opposite bank, and finally froze along with the tree trunks on the ground. In this storm, everyone could hardly stand still.

After the storm, the miraculous Ice Bridge came out. The river surface and tree trunks were frozen together, and the huge ice surface with a width of hundreds of meters formed a natural ice bridge. Due to the relationship between the trunk under the ice, it is stronger than ordinary ice. The whole looks like a concrete bridge made of ice and trees.

"Okay!" At this moment, Lucifer seemed to have just done a trivial thing.

"This!" Robin Hood had the urge to rub his eyes to see if he was dazzled.

Using magic to freeze the river to allow the army to pass, this approach was probably rarely thought of before. Compared to Robin Hood's sluggishness, the knights who saw this scene looked at Lucifer again with fanaticism.

Yes, the man in front of him who froze the river with his gestures is their king, the king they are loyal to. Even Liya stayed for a long time without reacting until Lucifer's order appeared.

"Notify everyone to speed up and cross the river immediately!" Lucifer withdrew his sword and shouted to the knights behind him.

"Obey!"

At this moment, all the knights ran quickly to the army behind, and they couldn't wait to tell the miracles they had just seen to the compatriots behind them. *

no.23 The nominal commander

The Dragonscale Fortress in the south is the last line of defense behind the White Rock Fortress. If this fortress also falls, the entire south will lose its barrier against France. But fortunately, although the French Legion took advantage of the absence of Giorgios to attack the White Rock Fortress, it seems that it did not continue to advance due to internal reasons.

After the previous fierce battle, the Southern Army is now resting here. The gate at the back of the fort was welcoming Lucifer's reinforcements into the city. The tall wall was full of people, and they looked at Lucifer, the new king, with curious eyes. After several days of rapid march, they arrived two days earlier than expected.

After arriving at the fortress, Lucifer didn't have much rest, and he has been busy these two days.

He first unified the issue of command. As the supreme commander, he appointed Giorgios as the direct commander-in-chief. He only needs to obey his own orders and has the power to mobilize the army. Even the army brought by Lucifer himself can be mobilized.

After arranging everything, Lucifer temporarily asked the others to step down to convey the notice. Before leaving, Giorgios gave Lucifer a meaningful look, he naturally understood the reason for Lucifer's decision.

After the crowd left, Liya looked at Lucifer with some hesitation.

"Master, what you just did..."

She is not a noob either. What Lucifer did just now carried some kind of danger, because if he wanted to, the current St. George could completely take away Lucifer's military power, and even take the troops from the imperial capital for his own use.

"Does Lia think that I should directly lead the entire army instead of setting up a commander-in-chief?" Lucifer smiled and motioned for Lia to sit beside him.

"Well! We believe in the master's ability and rushed to the front line from the imperial capital, but the current behavior of the master may make the subordinates worry."

"That's why I am the supreme commander in name. It's not that I can't understand their worries, but the problem now is that you believe in my ability and put your life on me to fight for the country and for glory." Speaking of this, Lucifer paused for a moment, his eyes looked at the flag hanging in the main hall, it was not the king's flag, but the family emblem of St. George.

Looking at Leah's hesitant face again, he continued.

"But the original soldiers here don't know our new king. Compared with me, St. George can give them a sense of security. If they are directly recruited in the name of the king now, they will think that I am depriving St. George of Command. If the morale of the army is shaken, it will be out of control. Fortunately, St. George seems to understand my approach, and the next step depends on our cooperation."

Now this situation is also a last resort. After all, no matter how you look at yourself, this king is like an airborne leader, and you won't be convinced until you show your ability. If he was already the king of this country now, it would be no problem to take all the military power directly.

Rather, that is the most effective way. It's a pity that I have only been crowned for a few days, so I want the tens of thousands of soldiers below to trust me, unless I have the legendary "dominant spirit".

"Is that the case? Please forgive me for talking too much. I didn't think carefully and didn't expect the problems brought about by the integration of the two armies. Originally, I thought that as long as..." At this time, Liya also understood Lucifer's intention. painstakingly.

It's not that I don't want it, it's just that the situation forces me to.

Looking at the hesitant girl knight, Lucifer had a teasing smile in his words.

"As long as I appear here, everyone else will take my orders as a matter of course? Then with a charge, can you defeat the French army?"

Liya seemed to have discovered her own problem, her face turned a little red, and she said softly.

"Yes."

"Leah also likes to read knight novels."

"How do you know?" It was surprise this time.

"You just told me yourself."

Ignoring Leah's surprised expression for the time being, Lucifer continued.

"If this war can be like the stories you read in those knight novels, maybe I will be much more relaxed. But the fact now is that if you want to integrate the whole army, it can only be carried out by Duke George. My words need to pass Some wins to make them believe that I can lead them to victory."

"If even you can't do it, maybe no one in this country can do it." The calm words revealed absolute trust. That's exactly what the young knight at the moment believed.

"Since you have said so, Leah, even if it is for your trust, I will do it well. As for now, let's go out and have a look!"

"yes!"

Artoria followed Lucifer's footsteps and left the hall with him.

On the huge white city wall, soldiers are sticking to their positions. They still discussed things about the new king from time to time, but these discussions consciously chose to be silent behind the white figure who seemed to be coming.

Lucifer brought Artoria to the tens of meters high city wall, looking into the distance. Behind the mountains and forests far away from here, black smoke is gradually spreading, and accidents are also happening at the same time. *

no.24 One meal operation is as fierce as a tiger (asking for tickets, asking for flowers)

The sky was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and the air revealed a hint of violence. Below the city, a group of knights in the distance is running towards the gate of the fortress, followed by hundreds of knights chasing soldiers, and the most eye-catching thing is probably the thing in the sky behind them.

"Wyverns!" a soldier called out the creature's name.

"The French are attacking! Ring the bell!" Another soldier immediately sounded an alarm to his compatriots not far away.

Several soldiers standing by the big bell immediately rang the alarm vigorously, and the bell sounded to the entire fortress, and all the soldiers entered a state of combat readiness for a while.

On the plain thousands of meters away, a dozen or so Wyverns led hundreds of soldiers, chasing a dozen or so soldiers from Britain ahead. The situation was very urgent, but the people on the wall couldn't see the appearance of the pursued clearly. They could only be judged to be British by their outlines.

"You, soldier!" Lucifer called to the nearest young soldier beside him.

"Yes, king!" The soldier saluted.

"Do you know the identity of this person?" Lucifer waved his hand while speaking. A mirror of ice crystals as tall as a person formed in his hand, where the appearance of the chased person in the distance was playing.

A white-haired knight is being chased. He looks very anxious and has many injuries on his body.

"General Siegfly! He is General Siegfly! General Siegfly is not dead yet!" The soldiers shouted out of joy when they saw it.

At this time St. George also came to the city wall, he walked to Lucifer and reported.

"King, Siegfried, I am the most outstanding general under my command, and I am also the guard of White Rock Fortress. When White Rock Fortress fell, news of his death was heard at the same time. We thought..."

The wrong transmission of information made Giorgios mistakenly think that Siegfried was dead, and he never thought of searching before.

"It seems that he is not dead. We have to find a way to support them." However, in Lucifer's opinion. There may be something hidden in it, and it is even possible that Siegfried's current appearance is the bait deliberately released by the other party.

"I'll send someone out of the city immediately!"

"No, that won't work. Don't you think it's strange? Since Siegfried is so important, why did the other party only send so few people to pursue him. Hundreds of people, it's as if they are here to die."

Although there are Wyverns, the number of opponents is too small. Once the people in the fort support thousands of people, they will immediately eliminate the other party. Siegfried has already run here, and the rational approach should be to retreat and give up the prey instead of chasing him. unless……

"What do you mean? It's a trap!"

"Maybe they want to use Siegfried's life to do something? The opponent's coach is very powerful. He knows that we can't leave Siegfried alone, and he will definitely save him. What he needs is..." said Here, Lucifer gestured to his feet.

"Time for us to open the gates."

"That's right! If my guess is correct, there should be enemy troops coming over all around. They may have hidden themselves through magic and illusion. As long as we open the city gate, they will start attacking immediately. As long as Break down this city gate and hold it for a while to wait for the arrival of the army." Lucifer calmly analyzed the current situation.

The situation in front of them is very delicate. If they don't go out to rescue Siegfried, they will definitely kill the seriously injured Siegfried in a fake show. This will undoubtedly shake the morale of the army, especially if he is killed in front of the soldiers in the fortress. This will make people feel that the new king and St. George are incompetent, and they can't even save important generals.

Interested! With this method, it is no wonder that the White Rock Fortress in Britain can be breached. Lothar? Is a good opponent.

"Damn it! This way we can't open the city gate to rescue Siegfried." St. George's fist hit the wall next to him.

If this is the case, one cannot risk losing the fortress to save Siegfried. Regarding this, Lucifer had a different opinion.

"No, the rescue is no problem. But the arrangement needs to be changed. The wall of this fortress is originally divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers, isn't it? Now that we know the opponent's movements, we can also make corresponding arrangements."

The possibility of losing the outer city wall has been considered in the design of this fortress, so there is still a city wall inside. Of course, if the outer city was breached head-on under normal circumstances, the inner city would not last long. But if the opponent is playing a sneak attack right now... this design is enough to ruin them.

Hearing Lucifer's words, Giorgios' eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Lucifer meant.

"I understand, I will immediately transfer the main force here to make arrangements."

"Yes! It's best to put the magic crossbow directly at the gate of the city and give them a surprise!"

"yes!"

"Duke St. George, the defense of the city wall will be handed over to you. I will personally verify the military strength of France."

Outside the walls, the chase continues. Siegfried, who was seriously injured, could not last long.

And there is a forest somewhere tens of thousands of meters away from the main entrance of the fortress. This area is shrouded in magic, making it impossible to see the interior, and this is where Lothar, the French frontline command post, is surrounded by knights standing guard.

Lothar looks to be in his forties, with Durandal, the head of the Twelve Holy Swords of France, on his waist. There are two young men beside him, Anses, one of the twelve knights, and the eldest son of the current king Pepin the dwarf, who is also named Pepin.

The short Pepin gave his name to the great prince and at the same time handed over the dragon army, which is enough to prove his great love for this son. In contrast, the other princes, such as Charlemagne and Louis, did not get much favor from the king.

Because Pepin was not one of the twelve knights but got one of the twelve holy swords, what Anses got was not one of the twelve holy swords of France, but another holy sword found by the dwarf king. Its name is Excalibur.

It is said that this sword is the same type of weapon that was forged in the old empire period after the King's Sword in Britain.

"I said, old guy, is it necessary to make this trouble? I let Siegfried go on purpose, and I squatted here for a day in advance. I have moss on my body. If you want me to say, with my dragon army, go straight It would have been better to smash everything that stood in front of us in the past." The arrogant face with short blond hair was Pepin, and his tone was very unkind.

Anses frowned instinctively, and he said instead of Lothar.

"The marshal just doesn't want to cause too much damage. Besides, I heard that the new king of Britain has been elected and rushed to the Dragonscale Fortress. A strong attack will pay huge damage."

"Shut up, I didn't ask you. I asked him."

"Perhaps you should learn to be polite before asking others to discuss it. Your Royal Highness!" Lothar sighed and finally spoke.

He always thought that the prince's personality was very problematic. Of course, maybe he still has a little level of combat skills, but that is more of an equipment advantage, not a big deal. The king also threw him here for gold. *

no.25 Want to play tactics?

(Thanks to the book friend 'Why bother me to go' for the reward.)

Although the current commander of the entire legion is Lothar, Prince Pepin led some nobles to form an independent army. This part of about 20,000 people is not under the command of Lothar. Lothar was also a little worried that this would become a hidden danger. But he couldn't say anything.

Pepin's expression became impatient.

"Elder Prince, call me Eldest Prince. I am the next king. You are the ones who should be more polite, knights." He forcefully corrected the mistakes of the two knights in front of him.

"..." Anses had an angry expression on his face, but he chose to remain silent.

This is not the first time such unhappiness has happened to them. But as a general, what can he say in the face of a prince who may become the next king?

Although he wanted to grab the head of the person in front of him more than once and hit it against the wall of the fortress over there. But also just thinking about it.

At this time, Lothar stood up strongly.

"Before you officially became the king, you were just a prince. Your Royal Highness! And I am the head coach here." During the words, he was reminding the identity of the prince.

As one of the only three marshals currently in France, his status naturally goes without saying.

Seeing Lothar's livid face, the prince restrained himself a little. But the expression is still so awkward.

"Okay! Then please give me a reason, Knight Marshal... Your Excellency? Originally that Siegfried was supposed to be my prey, but you snatched him away, and now you let him go. I need your explanation!"

"I want to use his life to earn the gate of the fortress. General Renault and the others are already in place. As soon as the gate is opened, his cavalry will rush in immediately. At the same time, your prince and your flying dragon army will cooperate and take down the gate in one fell swoop. Just hold a certain distance In time, our army will be able to successfully capture this Dragon Slaying Fortress." Lothar calmly stated his entire plan.

They not only have the cavalry on the ground, but also the air force in the sky. It is not a problem for the ground army to cooperate to win a gate when it is opened.

"Cut! You don't even dare to fight head-on, so you're just like that. When the opportunity comes later, let me know. I'm going to prepare." The prince's expression was a little upset, but he didn't say anything.

It was not until a long time after the prince untied it that the atmosphere at the scene eased up.

"Marshal!" Anses spoke first.

"I know what you want to say, Anseth. Our prince is a spoiled child, please be more tolerant of this kind of child."

"What else can I do except tolerate me? Who will let him be the next king?" At this moment, Anses's joking words revealed a kind of irony.

"Don't talk about that little bastard, what do you think of the situation this time? They don't seem to have sent a rescue force yet. If they don't come after a while, I can only make do with killing Siegfried." Lothar said. Changed the subject.

Speaking of this, Anses also began to look into the distance seriously. He calmly analyzed the current situation.

"Wait a little longer, maybe they haven't seen clearly who is running away. Just an ordinary general is not worth opening the door for them. With the current situation, when they see that it is Siegfried, they will definitely send a team of thousands to support .At that time, we can even eat this rescue team.”

"That's right. I was too impatient. Now, the only variable is one person."

"The new king of Britain. As a matter of fact, our plans might have gone better if he had come a day later."

Lucifer's early arrival somewhat disrupted their plans. After all, a fortress facing 70,000 people is completely different from a fortress facing 110,000 people, especially the nearly 20,000 knights brought by Lucifer.
