The King of Knights in a Different World

There is simply not enough time for both sides to ask for help.

"There's nothing too late.

It’s too late to try.”

Robespierre immediately retorted.

"What about the north and east?"

"Now there is no time to think about the affairs of the other two countries.

Without defeating Britain, France has no future at all."

Robespierre's words seemed to make sense.

But Bismarck said at the same time.

"If we give up the east now, even if we have defeated Britain, we may have to defeat Macedonia again."

Abandon the fortress directly, and others may not spit it out if they occupy it.

At that time, even if France barely beats Britain, it is impossible to win against Macedonia afterwards.

Even the diplomatic aspect is difficult to develop now, because they have lost their biggest hole card.

"..."

"Lord Robespierre, do you know what the King of Britain likes to do most?"

"What"

"fishing.

I wouldn't be surprised if he used the royal city as a bait to lure Ganelon and Rinaldo from the north back and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

While those of us were talking, he might have sent someone to the north to wait for Ganelon on the only way to the king's city."

"impossible!"

“Why Impossible’s previous fiasco isn’t enough to tell the story.”

Facing this expert who likes to talk on paper, Bismarck also yelled back.

"Prime Minister, what can you do to solve the problem at hand?"

Louis looked in front of him, and finally set his sights on Bismarck.

He can only hope that Bismarck has a good way now.

Bismarck didn't give him hope either.

"Retreat! Exit the royal city.

Order Ganelon to abandon the north and go east together, and defend along the Carolingian Mountains.

Open the gates to the north, and draw Rome into France, and bring them into conflict with Britain, so that we may fight back."

The tactics mentioned by Bismarck are very surprising.

However, some people find it very familiar.

"The prime minister wants to use the tactics of the former king of Rome to deal with Rome"

Duke Yuli asked softly.

In fact, many nobles here have already begun to get active.

Facing the fiasco at the front, many people are already wondering whether to surrender.

Judging from the previous events, those nobles who voluntarily surrendered were not killed, and their treatment was not bad.

The nobles who resisted were buried in the ground together with their families.

Surrender seems to be a good choice when you know you are about to lose the battle.

"Facing the territory given away for nothing, Rome is likely to lose its composure.

When the time comes, the King of Britain will march north to fight Rome, and that is our chance.

At the same time, we sent envoys to persuade Macedonia and Rome.

Let them face up to the threat of Britain's complete annexation of France."

Bismarck did not deny that he had used Caligula's tactics.

But he also has an added component, and that's diplomacy.

This is also the part he is best at.

If you can use this time to persuade the two countries to jointly defeat Britain, it will be worth giving up some land.

"It may not be realistic for Macedonia and Rome to attack Britain. They are still at war. They can't even solve their own problems. How can they help us?"

"Even if Macedonia doesn't.

There is absolutely no problem with Rome, I am sure to convince them.

Your Majesty, the current situation does not allow us to have too many choices.

It is absolutely impossible to defend the royal city, calling the generals back to help will only waste their strength.

This is the last strength in our hands.

Please decide."

Bismarck looked at Louis while talking.

Now that the facts have developed to this point, he won't scold his mother.

Just do your best to do what you can.

"Do you really want to give up the royal city? If they arrive first, we might be able to hold on."

Louis still had a little fantasy at the moment.

"His Majesty.

Be sober! Even if they arrive first, if you don't defeat Britain, just defend the city.

It is tantamount to giving up all French land outside the royal city.

But leave, at least we still have the east."

If all the soldiers come to the royal city, in case Lucifer does not attack the city, but sweeps other places.

At that time, staying in Wangcheng is... waiting to die.

While the French royal city was still considering how to make good use of the last troops in its hands, a new guest was welcomed in the Lyon fortress in the north.

Horace, led by Marla, prepares to meet Ganelon.

Along the way, Horace said with a very happy expression.

"The King of Knights is quite capable. It seems that the history of France is coming to an end."

Marla followed behind him, asking hesitantly.

"My lord, then me!"

"Don't worry, Marla, you are the hero of Rome.

Your Majesty will not forget this, so you should now be grateful for your wise decision.

I'm glad I don't have to stay on this sinking ship in France."

"Yes, yes, I am very glad to be a member of Rome."

After saying that, they had come to Ganelon's private room. After knocking on the door and getting permission, they opened the door and found that Ganelon was wiping a gold cup in his hand. He looked very attentive, as if he was making a work of art.

In fact, that cup is indeed a work of art with a long history.

"This cup you sent is really nice.

Is there... anything similar"

After seeing Horace, Ganelon said happily.

"General Ganelon, don't you think there are a lot of people here?"

Horace responded with a smile.

Ganelon immediately understood what the other party meant.

He immediately gave orders to his personal guards.

"Go down first, don't come near here without my order."

"yes!"

When there were only three of them left in the surrounding area and in the room, Horace was finally able to explain his purpose of coming.

"Of course there is.

There are as many treasures as this in Rome, as long as our great emperor asks."

"What do you want me to say this time, as long as the price is right, everything is easy to talk about."

Ganelon put down his cup and said happily.

During this period of time, the other party gave him a lot of benefits, and he reaped a lot every time they met. Now seeing Horace is naturally very happy.

"Your Excellency Ganelon, I am here to show you a road leading to a bright future.

Join Rome with your army.

With your ability, there must be a place for you among the commanders of the Roman legion."

Horace directly stated the subject of this visit.

The moment he heard these words, Ganelon froze for a moment, his expression became: very fierce.

"I am the Twelve Knights of France, and I have infinite loyalty to France. Now you dare to say something that makes me betray my motherland.

Are you tired of living?"

Facing Ganelon at this moment, Horace was not worried at all.

Because he knows this guy very well, greed for money is...his biggest weakness.

"The Twelve Knights of France did not... say so when you paid for the loyalty of France."

Horace said now with a smile.

The other party accepted the gift even though he knew he was from Rome. This situation is already tantamount to betraying the country.

It is a great joke to say that he has any loyalty to France.

"Before was before, now is now."

"That's how it is. Your Excellency Ganelon is really loyal to his country, which is admirable, but unfortunately, the country you are loyal to is about to disappear."

"What did you say"

"Have you not received the message yet?"

"what news"

Ganelon was a little surprised.

He hasn't been to the office at the fort at all for the past few days.

"In the west, the King of Knights has defeated Charlemagne and is marching towards the King of France with an army of 230,000.

He may or may not be on the verge of attacking the city as we speak.

In addition, the entire southern part of France has fallen into the hands of Britain, as long as the royal city is taken, the history of France can be declared to an end."

Horace smiled and dropped a bomb.

"lie!"

"Even if I wanted to lie about such a big matter, I would be powerless.

If it wasn't for France's disastrous defeat, I wouldn't dare to appear here."
