The King of Knights in a Different World

They could not get orders from their own coach at this time, because Charlemagne had to face cutting into the center from behind at this time.

Lucifer himself.

Holding the holy sword [Joyeuse], Charlemagne fought Lucifer for the first time.

That's right, he had fantasized about this moment countless times, but when they actually met, there was still more bitterness than joy.

After several confrontations, their surroundings were covered with sword marks, and the area within a few hundred meters had turned into no man's land.

"Knight King, let's call you Lucifer.

I've been looking forward to our meeting for a long time.

But because of their identities, it has been delayed until now, and in the end they can only face each other with swords in this most uncool way.

Ah, there is always a feeling of destroying legends."

Charlemagne is looking at Lucifer with a smile at the moment.

"Looking forward to meeting me. If you don't want to meet me in this embarrassing state, you should find a way to become king instead of being annihilated by me like you are now.

I am somewhat disappointed in you, Charlemagne."

Lucifer was also smiling. Although the... Marshal in front of him is quite capable, he didn't bring much... pressure to him.

The most important thing is that I am the king now, but the one in front of me... is not.

In another period of history, the king who finally established the Frankish Kingdom is not even a king here.

Although it's a pity, Lucifer doesn't show much mercy.

He doesn't need his own pity either.

"impossible.

I'm not fit to be a king, and I can't even imagine myself becoming a king.

Compared to becoming a king, the time spent traveling with Mo Luolan and the others is the world I most yearn for.

But, there is no going back."

Charlemagne expressed his thoughts.

He doesn't really have much interest in the throne.

Although he was suspected by his father because of his outstanding ability, he didn't care.

Even when Louis took the throne next, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Rather than becoming a king, he actually prefers to be the protagonist in knight novels.

"Now that you know what you want, you should work hard to pursue it.

If you can’t even do this, how can you talk about a handsome life.”

As he spoke, Lucifer swung his sword close to him.

Charlemagne responded firmly while blocking Lucifer's attack.

"As the prince and marshal of France, many times I am destined to be unable to pursue what I want.

I believe you too, King of Knights."

It wasn't until meeting Lucifer now that he was finally convinced of one thing.

This matter has troubled him for a long time.

That's right, that is the desire of Lucifer, who is the king, for the royal power.

This also means that Lucifer is not eager to go to the throne like his father.

Thinking of this, he felt that Lucifer should be a person similar to him who was bound by identity.

It is even more...the rumor that Lucifer is...the illegitimate son of the former King of Britain.

"It would be a pain in the ass if you insisted on comparing me to you.

You are bound by your identity and blood, and these... are exactly the things I don't care about the most.

Besides, something went wrong.

Becoming a king is like the protagonist in a novel traveling with his companions. There is no conflict between the two things.

Lucifer's words stunned Charlemagne.

"no contradiction"

"Whether there are conflicts or if there are no conflicts, and how to take all these into the palm of your hand and solve them at the same time, this is the king.

But before being a king, I was first a man.

You, on the contrary, prioritize being a prince before being a human being."

Although he looks very responsible, enough to be a role model for knights.

But I know what is going on with me, and I think more about myself and the people around me than the country itself.

Just like when I first chose to become king because of Leah.

Instead, the prince seemed deeply personal, but had the country at heart.

"Yeah! Maybe you're right, I'm just such an idiot daydreaming in reality, I'm not handsome at all, and I'm not the protagonist."

While swinging the sword, the color of the sword in Charlemagne's hand changed again.

"Maybe you are not the protagonist in the story, but in the story of your life, you are the one who writes it. If you are destined not to be able to write the beginning, then at least think about your own ending."

"..."

After listening to Lucifer's words, Charlemagne suddenly took a few steps back, he first put away his sword, then pulled it out... and said formally to Lucifer.

"The knight Charlemagne challenges you!"

"Finally want to do what you love the most?

A bit late, but still good.

Although the protagonist of this type of challenge is inferior, I accept your challenge."

Swinging the sword again, at this time when failure was doomed, Charlemagne finally let go of the shackles on his body. He no longer thought about Lancey, no longer thought about the battlefield here, but simply regarded himself as a knight, and wanted to defeat Lucifer. bit...'The Devil'.

The fight of pure sword skills does not rely on the power of the holy sword. After countless sword clashes, there was a crackling sound in the air, and the holy sword in Charlemagne's hand had been released.

And there was a huge wound on his body.

"It's over, Charlemagne.

Hope next time you won't be bound by such boring stuff."

Lucifer shook off the blood on the sword, turned around and said to the fallen knight.

"If there is a second life, I hope I can be the knight in the story.

France is in your hands."

Charlemagne fell down with a smile, and told Lucifer the final entrustment.

"Leave it to me that doesn't sound like something you should say."

"One does not have to kill each other, everyone can smile, everyone understands each other and lives in peace, and pursues their own future in a just environment.

Do you want to build such a country!"

Charlemagne secretly went to Britain with Roland and the others a long time ago, and it was at that time that he became interested in Lucifer.

The king who looks like a tyrant, but did the most tyrant-like thing.

"Um."

"That's great.

If you live in this country, maybe you can also become a handsome protagonist.

You don't have to think about the prince anymore, and you don't have to bear the fate of the country."

Saying that, Charlemagne closed his eyes with a smile.

In the light of the last moment of his life, he seemed to see his own afterlife.

In that world, he was just an ordinary knight, and together with his companions, he was fighting against the legendary demon king.

no.423 Great retreat

With Charlemagne's death in battle, the situation on the entire battlefield is in a one-sided situation.

The British army easily divided, cut off, and annihilated the French army.

In this battle, his other twelve knights also died one after another, Dion was wounded and comatose and captured, Richelieu disappeared.

With the general situation gone, some of the nobles fled for their lives and some surrendered. With the precedent of these people, the remaining nearly one hundred thousand troops also chose to surrender.

Lucifer first took control of the Maginot Fortress, and then separated the captives.

Some were sent to be imprisoned on the spot, and some were sent to the White Rock Fortress in Britain.

Some are sent to the south of France.

After dealing with these matters in a total of about three days, he took the leaders of the noble army in the army, leaving 50,000 people stationed at the Maginot Fortress to guard the prisoners, and another 10,000 people were left in Verdun. Ten thousand people transported the wounded back home for treatment.

After that, he took the remaining 200,000 troops and marched towards the King of France.

At the same time, Lucifer directly ordered Drake not to follow: the previous plan was to go north to join him, but to further take over the entire south of France, and then leave half of the troops, and bring half of the troops with him in the French royal city. confluence.

While Lucifer was arranging the action, the news that his army had defeated Charlemagne and marched towards the royal city also spread back to the French royal city.

This time, no matter who had the voice before, it turned into surprise.

They don't know exactly what happened, but it is true that Britain defeated Charlemagne and marched to the royal city with an army of more than 200,000.

After reacting, many people couldn't help cursing at Lucifer and even Charlemagne.

"What a French military god, what a waste.

Not to mention the defeat, even half of the people in Britain have not been defeated, how did he command the battlefield, did he just send his subordinates to be killed?"

Robespierre starts to taste aromatic.

"That's right!"

"What marshal! It's nothing but trash."

For a while, such voices appeared in the hall, and most of the people who said these words were members of the council.

Rather than solving the immediate problem, they seem to want to vent their dissatisfaction.

"You are not allowed to speak of Marshal Charlemagne."

Ah Fu clenched his sword tightly, with a scary expression on his face.

"Why don't you let people tell you that you lost all the battles!"

"If you lose, you are not qualified to speak."

...For a while, the two sides quarreled over this.

In the end, Louis came forward to stop the quarrel between the two parties.

"Do you still have time to quarrel now? Britain is about to hit the king city! I want to hear the solution now."

Louie yelled at the men.

"Your Majesty, please immediately summon General Garnieron, General Augier and General Rinaldo to lead troops back to guard the royal city together.

We haven't lost yet, as long as this royal city is still here:, His Majesty is still here, we won't lose."

Robespierre immediately expressed his opinion.

Ganillon still has 50,000 regular troops and 10,000 recruits in the north to defend Rome, and Rinaldo and Ogier have 70,000 regular troops in the east, plus 10,000 guards and 20,000 recruits in the royal city.

If added together, it is also a considerable number.

"It's too late!"

Bismarck calmly talked about the predicament before.

If they had made this decision on the day when the first decisive battle came out, they could still try. The problem is that they didn't receive the news of the defeat until Lucifer proceeded.
