The King of Knights in a Different World

In comparison, everyone else is horribly smart in their own fields.

"A smart fool."

Demeter said with a smile.

"A smart fool is still a fool, but he's not at all.

If a person who makes a lot of preparations in advance and prepares for the worst with the most optimistic attitude is still a fool, then the so-called genius has nothing to gain."

Atta expressed his understanding calmly.

no.469 Alexander’s tactics

In fact, before coming here, Atta also boasted of being a genius. Of course, this has not changed since coming here.

But what has changed is that this self-praise will no longer affect her judgment of other people, nor will she despise other people's talents.

"..."

Lucifer looked at Atta with gentle eyes, but the look in his eyes at this moment made Atta feel a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Atta said coyly.

Then she heard Lucifer's words.

"Well, I like Atta's compliments, come on! Say more, I'm listening."

"Are you stupid"

Facing Lucifer like this, Atta complained helplessly.

And this happened to fall into Lucifer's trap.

"Look, Atta, what did you just say? Do you still remember?"

Lucifer said teasingly.

"I......"

For a moment, Atta finally understood what mistake he had made.

But she didn't know how to win it back for a while. She just blushed and glared at Lucifer fiercely.

"Haha! Haha... If all humans were like you, it would actually be quite interesting."

The goddess couldn't help laughing at this time.

This time neither Atta nor Lucifer said anything.

"Okay, let's put aside the human things for now, we will have a lot of time to chat later.

Let’s talk about the present first.

Ter, what is the geology of this land like?"

Lucifer directly called the goddess by her nickname.

Demeter didn't mind much about this, even though she had previously said that she preferred the title of sister.

"The land is very barren and few crops can grow properly here.

Of course, if you use your kind of...fertilizer and make some improvements, you can still be saved."

"Ther, I know that you like to see the earth full of life out of your own habits.

But that’s not what I’m asking now. What I want to know is its geology and military characteristics.”

"The land here is not hard, but rather loose. If you want to use your best cavalry tactics, you may need to be careful about rain and other weather conditions.

Also, there is not much underground water system here, so once it rains, the water will stay on the ground for a long time until the sun makes it disappear.

There are still many signs of slippage in some places, like over there, if there were no weeds, they might have been washed away by the rain."

"Just looking at the terrain, I also know that large-scale cavalry cannot be deployed.

I never thought of asking this question, can't rainwater penetrate into the groundwater system?

How is the rainy weather in this area?”

"I'm sorry to tell you that heavy rain may occur here from time to time in the next period of time."

“The right time and location are not favorable.”

Hearing this, Lucifer murmured and thought deeply.

Originally, the advantage on our side was... we still had heavy infantry, but the terrain was no longer suitable for knights to deploy. If it still rained, it would be difficult for our heavy infantry to use it.

Judging from the current situation, the only thing that can be expected is Tristan's guerrilla army.

This unit is mainly composed of light cavalry, equipped with bows, arrows and spears, and can hunt everywhere.

"If it's just defense, that's a problem, isn't it.

Anyway...we stay in the fortress, and they are the ones who are troubled."

At this moment, Atta suddenly spoke.

If you just stay in the fortress, the terrain here really doesn't matter.

Anyway... the opponent will definitely attack the city as long as they attack.

"That's right.

But Atta, compared to pure defense, I prefer another aggressive defensive strategy.

Its name is, defensive counterattack.

If it was just defense, there would be no need for me to come in person. Alexander thought this was an opportunity for Macedonia, but if he missed the opportunity and took the initiative to attack, it was not an opportunity for me."

Lucifer revealed his purpose of coming here.

At present, if it is just pure defense, I believe that St. George can do a good job, as long as he adds more troops.

But since I'm here, it's not for defense.

"I see.

But it may be difficult to attack under the current situation.

After all, the cavalry cannot deploy, and they will have to stop if they encounter heavy rain during the pursuit.

No matter how you look at it, it’s very detrimental to you.”

During this period of time, Atta had in-depth exchanges with Lucifer.

She also understood some of Lucifer's thoughts on battle tactics, which can be summed up in three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless.

There is a problem with the current terrain. Lucifer's speed will be difficult to achieve, and his ruthlessness will be even worse.

The only characteristic that the target can exploit is...accuracy.

"As I just said, I like to prepare for the worst with the most optimistic attitude.

The situation is not too bad right now.”

"You are so optimistic."

"That's right, Atta.

One thing I care about is that you were Helen’s hero..."

"I am also Helen's hero now, but more importantly, I am still your wife."

Atta's words at this time also indicated his future stance.

She also wanted Lucifer to try not to let her fight with her former comrades in the future.

Of course, if she couldn't avoid it, she would still pick up the longbow for Lucifer, but she didn't like that.

"Um.

Alexander and Helen had been at war for many years. What do you think of this... conquering king?"

Lucifer nodded and continued.

"It's not that I have no plans, I just believe in my own strength more than my strategy.

He is the type who...will crush the enemy head-on, which is very different from you.

But more specifically, I’m sorry, I can’t say.”

"Why are you sorry?

Atta is not good at words, I have known this for a long time.

And it’s great to hear so much.”

Although he also collected a lot of intelligence, most of it was from side records. In comparison, Atta may have had a head-on confrontation with Alexander.

It is self-evident which message is more valuable.

As if thinking of something, Atta continued.

"By the way, I remember there was a small war with Macedonia about four years ago, and I also participated in the war.

The scale of that war was not large, but because it was my first time to participate in the war, I was deeply impressed.

The king of Sebia at that time was not Perseus, but Crops.

That time, Helen's coalition had an advantage in strength, but fell behind in the battle with Alexander."

"And after that"

After hearing what Atta said, Lucifer suddenly thought that Alexander in history was also a strong general who defeated more with less.

But in this world, this point is not outstanding. After all, in this world, Macedonia is surrounded by tough people.

This is very similar to Britain before me.

No, it should be said that Britain is still surrounded by hard things.

"What impressed me most after that was that he concentrated all his cavalry as bait first, and then quickly moved to target Cliff.

At the time, no one thought he would do this.

In the end, if it weren't for Perseus' timely support, Cliff might have died."

Atta told some inside stories about that battle.

no.470 The way to self-destruct

After that, Cliff gave up the throne to Perseus, perhaps to thank him for saving his life, or perhaps because he understood that he was no longer suitable to be a king.

Speaking of Perseus, Lucifer couldn't help but think of Medusa. They seemed to have no grudges in this life.

But think about it, the great hero Hector can drink happily with Achilles, and the fate of the heroes cannot be judged by their past memories.

However, when he thought that Odysseus' wooden horse was the legendary Gundam, Lucifer seemed to understand why the Trojans in the previous life brought such a suspicious wooden horse to the city.

Thinking of this, Lucifer couldn't help but smile.

"Beheading operation? This seems to be very similar to me."

"Different from you.

Although the target you were aiming at before was also the enemy's commander, you had been waiting for the opportunity, and the moment you saw the enemy's weakness appeared, you gave them the decisive blow.

But Alexander rushed over directly against the guards."

It was also an attack aimed at the opponent's coach. Lucifer was waiting for an opportunity until Charlemagne exposed his weaknesses and stabbed him hard.

And also from the most advantageous position.

In contrast, Alexander rushed from the front.

"Hold on! Sounds like a lot of chaos."

Having said this, Lucifer couldn't help laughing.

That's right! Pretty messy.

Although it looks courageous, it is even more foolhardy.
