The King of Knights in a Different World

The situation at that time, in the eyes of the outside world, was that he might take advantage of the victory to march into Macedonia.

Especially while Macedonia was still at war with Rome.

At that time, Macedonia was in urgent need of peace of mind, and he gave him the peace of mind he needed.

"You stayed in the Church State to buy time."

"That's just one of the goals.

My maritime strategy must have spread to all the countries on the mainland. If Macedonia hears this news, what do you think they will do in order to prevent my landing battle?"

Having said this, Lucifer's smile became: very cunning.

"Deploy heavy defense along the coast"

Mira thought for a while and came up with a reaction arrangement.

"It can be used, but it's a bad idea."

"Find a way to burn our warships before war begins"

"It's a bit close, but it's still the right strategy."

“What’s the best strategy?”

"What war requires is to take the initiative."

Lucifer did not answer Mira directly, but said a certain key.

As smart as Mira was, she instantly understood what Lucifer meant.

"Battleship! King, has anyone ever said this to you: You are really scary."

"What do you think?"

"Macedonia absolutely does not have enough warships to counter the British fleet.

Even if they started building now, they wouldn't be able to build your Hyperion.

Macedonia doesn't pay much attention to the development of its navy. The only possibility is to... grab it.

This is also the style of the Conqueror King.

At this time, there is only one country they can rob."

Mira now somewhat understood Lucifer's choice at that time.

Facing a giant warship like Hyperion, ordinary warships cannot resist even if they form a fleet.

But in order to prevent Britain from developing naval warfare, Macedonia needed corresponding warships.

Since they didn't know when Britain would attack, they would only think of the fastest way.

"What a person needs most when robbing something is...a sense of security, and I happened to give him this sense of security.

Do you understand now, Mira?

The destruction or survival of the Church State means nothing to me, but it means a lot to Macedonia."

It took more than two years to build my own Hyperion even if I asked Leonardo da Vinci and a group of outstanding magicians to build it.

The final control system was improved by Eros and Faun to obtain the current battleship.

Does Macedonia have such technology? No, they have no choice whether it is time or technology.

In order to fight against their own fleet, they can only find ways from other places.

The only choice is... Helen.

"Now that you have thought of this step, can you tell me your next strategy in advance?"

"Of course, anyway...I only have a general direction.

During the waiting period, if there are major changes in Rome, annihilate Rome first.

Then it swept Macedonia from three directions.

At this time, if Macedonia and Helen have not decided the winner, then Helen will be annihilated together."

"What if Helen was defeated by Macedonia in advance?"

"Then I will send reinforcements in a friendly manner."

"Help Helen"

"No! To destroy Macedonia.

If Macedonia really defeated Helen, it also meant that the conquering king himself and his main force were already trapped.

For me, this is a good opportunity.

We used some of our naval forces to block him at Helen along his southward route."

Prepare your own plan in two parts.

The key lies in how other countries will act in the coming time.

"When the time comes, Macedonia will...be held in your hands calmly."

"Absolutely."

“Where are the armies of the Church State?”

"The church state's army is facing a huge disaster, and faith plays no role at all.

Unless it can save believers, disaster will completely tear away the last veil of faith."

Regarding...faith, Lucifer made this judgment.

no.449 The life of an artist

In a simple rental house in the Urashilu District of the British City, Lucifer was looking at the layout here with great interest.

How should it be described?

Although it's not exactly cluttered, there is an astonishing amount of paint and paper laid out here.

There are also drawing boards and various other painting-related things, and you can see some colors on the walls from time to time.

Not only in the hall, but also in the bedroom next to it.

Seeing this scene, Lucifer couldn't help but feel that he might never be able to become an artist in his life, especially a painter.

"Ah Rong, are you really not going to tidy up your room? Not only the hall, but also the bedroom. How do you get a rest at night?"

Today is the time for Lucifer to come to pick up the paintings, but after seeing the layout here, Lucifer felt a little helpless to complain.

Well! Most of the so-called artists are unique.

They are not like ordinary people. Art is purely for their own hobbies and they don't care about the eyes of the world.

Due to their personalities, most of them are also very messy in life.

"That'll be fine.

You can get what you want at any time, which is the best way to do it.

But, Lucille, what you just said...hey...do you want to know how I look like when I rest at night?"

Ah Rong was still painting in front of the drawing board at this time, and no trace of paint was found on her face.

She was so focused on the world in the painting that she forgot that Lucifer was here to pick up the previously ordered work.

"Well... I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to.

But Ah Rong, are you sure you want me to see it?"

"Hey! Miss Leia is not here, are you planning to attack me secretly?"

"I just want to remind you that since you want to borrow my money to participate in the competition in my name, if your ranking is too ugly, you will have to work for me for free for the rest of your life."

Lucifer said with a smile.

Just now, this... painter lady asked me to sponsor her and let her participate in the next competition in her name.

Therefore, they made a bet. If Arong can win the first place in the art competition in the future, they will give her a considerable reward.

But if she can't do it.

Then she will become her own personal painter and work for herself for the rest of her life.

Of course, there is still no salary...

Faced with this seemingly very harsh condition, Ah Rong agreed without thinking.

Although she doesn't know Lucifer's identity yet, it doesn't hinder her.

"That's not bad!"

The pen in Ah Rong's hand continued to move, with a very calm expression.

Lucifer picked up a painting and suddenly stopped after hearing her answer.

"good"

"My world is very big, but it is actually very small. It only takes one stroke to touch it.

I want to keep painting and keep drawing new pictures until the day I die.

Until then I will keep painting."

"Are you going to keep painting until you die?"

Lucifer put down the scroll and said thoughtfully.

Keep painting until you die. It seems like a simple sentence, but it contains an extremely huge determination.

If you want to live according to your own ideals, not many people can bear the price.

But she's clearly ready.

in spite of....

Whatever happens, you have to draw it.

I don’t pursue external recognition, I don’t pursue material life, I don’t think about where I can go, I don’t listen to evaluations of myself, I just want to keep painting.

It's... such a simple wish.

"Well, before that, I have to keep painting intermittently.

I will inherit your father’s ambition.”

"Is it because I want to inherit my father's ambition, or because I sincerely love the art itself called painting?"

"Of course it's the latter.

If you don’t have the passion and impulse to paint in your heart, it’s impossible to paint for a lifetime just relying on your ambition.

I want to draw more and more beautiful pictures.

I can’t stop until then, and I don’t want to stop either.”

Under the sunlight, Ah Rong's smile seemed to blend with the sunshine.

For a moment, Lucifer was superstitious by the girl in front of him.

She may seem a little naughty, but in a sense, she is an extremely innocent girl.

"You have such a simple and dreamlike life, I'm a little envious of you, Ah Rong.

Being able to love something from beginning to end and keep walking unswervingly for the love in your heart.

It sublimates into an existence beyond itself.

Very beautiful, you look like this."

The soft voice spoke of Lucifer's truest heart at this moment.

Well, very beautiful.

"Am I considered beautiful just like I am now?"

He smiled, stopped the pen in his hand and gestured to Lucifer.

If you just look at her current appearance, how should I put it, she looks more like a sloppy wandering painter.
