The King of Knights in a Different World

So now there is a question, where did he go?"

As he spoke, Lucifer motioned to his generals to speak.

"The King of Conqueror has already come to the front line before. As a king, it is impossible for him to suddenly return to the country at this time.

He must be marching somewhere."

Lancelot looked at the sand table seriously and expressed his opinion.

Tristan also expressed his thoughts at this moment.

"My guerrillas haven't found anything nearby.

If Sir Lancelot’s conjecture is correct, then the Conquering King should have gone somewhere else.”

Tristan has followed Lucifer all the way to the north and south, and has long understood the importance of intelligence.

"The north side of the detour is still Roman territory except for the mountains and forests. Could it be that the conquering king would borrow a road from Rome?"

Gawain was also seriously thinking about this possibility at this time.

"It's not impossible.

Rome had already formed an alliance with Macedonia at this time, if they borrowed a road from Rome.

Maybe we can find a trail leading to the back of the fortress from these mountains."

Siegfried also said at this moment.

Hearing their analysis, the other generals suddenly had subtle expressions.

It's not that this strategy is so surprising, but because the founder of this strategy is standing right in front of them...their king himself.

Ever since Lucifer's tactic of detouring and cutting off the retreat was successful, people on the mainland began to imitate it, and then this tactic also appeared in large and small battles.

"The generals' speculations are correct.

But you have overlooked one point."

Lucifer pointed out a problem with this strategy.

"Ignore asking the king for clarification."

"The number of that army must not be large.

If Ya is in that assault force now, even if the attack is completed, how he will go back is the key point.

There are mine in the Carolingian Mountains, although there are only 5,000 or 5,000 people.

But it was enough to hold them off for a while, and during this time we responded with reinforcements.

Even if he defeats the Carolingian army, there is still Agcan in Paris, and he will be dead as long as we return.

Therefore, if he conquers the royal road, he must first think about his retreat.

Seeking defeat before calculating victory is a mature strategist."

If you think that you can succeed by taking a detour and attack without considering the retreat, that is a fool's errand.

Just like Hannibal before, he just... didn't consider this and killed himself.

Alexander would be so stupid to know that he entered the country in person.

If he is discovered by himself, he will not want the Fog Moon Fortress at that time.

As long as he is completely destroyed, including himself, this war will be over.

Even if he is impulsive, the old fox next to him will not be impulsive.

"King, please forgive me for speaking frankly.

With the personality of the conquering king, he may also think that he can definitely cut off our retreat."

Gawain thought for a moment and responded.

It's not that this is not possible.

But... "Gawain, we don't have 400,000 people here.

The food is enough for half a year's expenses.

If he really makes a surprise attack, he will only be retreated by me...well, wait..."

Speaking of this, Lucifer seemed to have thought of something.

Yes, the only thing that needs to be considered for this tactic is...the issue of retreat.

Just like before, even if he couldn't defeat it at that time, he could still occupy the south of France and defend it, forcing Charlemagne to retreat, and then completely surround the French royal city.

But Alexander obviously does not have this advantage.

If he came in to attack the royal city, all he had to do was order Age Guiwen to attack him from both sides, and he might not even be able to escape.

"What did the king think of?"

Saint George also spoke.

"I see, the way out has already been found."

Lucifer looked somewhere outside the sand table, where there was a huge map.

"Where!"

"Calais!"

“Calais”

"I was just wondering what there was in the heart of Britain that was worth risking: the consequences of total annihilation.

Now it seems that his ambition is not small.

You see, there are many reefs on the coast here in the south, and the terrain is not suitable for sailing.

So first rule out the possibility of logging in.

However, because this area is sparsely populated and has swamp-like terrain, few people enter it.

If they took a detour from the south instead of the north, they could reach the Carolingian Mountains in a shorter time.

I only put a thousand people on this trail in the south.

They can easily defeat it by sending out heroes."

Lucifer came to the map and pointed to the southeast.

Take a detour from the north, not to mention the dangerous terrain. If they are discovered, they can be trapped in the mountains by sending people to block the door.

And given the previous examples of Hannibal's failure, they probably wouldn't consider it.

"However, supply will be a big problem."

Lancelot said seriously.

If it's just one person crossing the swamp, it won't be a big problem for heroes like them.

But if it is an army, there will be problems with supplies first.

You can't even bring heavy equipment.

"There are no human homes in the swamps and wastelands, and there are even many ferocious beasts. They may get lost along the way and may suffer heavy losses."

Tristan said at this time.

You must know that there is no such thing in this era. Looking at the endless wilderness, if there are no corresponding instructions and no roads, it is easy for people to get lost, not to mention no one knows what beasts are there.

There may even be poisons.

"But the advantage is that if it is discovered, there is still the possibility of withdrawing it.

It is impossible for our knights to pursue us deep into the swamp."

St. George expressed his opinion at this time.

"The swamp is not a problem. If there is a magician, it can be temporarily frozen with soil and ice.

All they have to deal with are ferocious beasts.

If he could capture Calais, he would have a large fleet that could leave by sea.

At this time, the Macedonian maritime fleet may also set sail at the same time."

Lucifer told the current situation.

Yes, it's not that there is no retreat, but that the retreat was not from the original route from the beginning, but planned to start from Calais.

Go back with your own fleet.

no.1 King Arthur and the King of Knights

A random extra on a whim, if I update...well, it depends on the weather, um, it depends on the weather.

The white castle is located in a world blocked by wind and snow, and the presence of magic isolates the city from the cold outside.

This is the castle of the famous magic family Einzbern.

On the eve of the fourth war against Japan, Irisviel is about to participate in this war as the master representative of the Einzbern family.

Although Einzbern was defeated miserably three times before because he was not good at fighting, this time, the entire family is full of confidence.

Because they have a real trump card.

"Aren't you used to it? The snowy scene in front of you."

Ai Li looked at the beauty standing by the window and said softly.

The petite servant in front of him is the famous King Arthur in history. He had been dead for thousands of years, but he reappeared through the miracle of the Holy Grail.

This is why the entire Ellie family is confident in this war.

If it's this... king in front of me, it doesn't matter even if the Master doesn't know how to fight.

That's what they think.

"No, it's not that I'm not used to it, it's just that the snowy scene in front of me always reminds me of the past."

Looking at the snowflakes outside the glass with a nostalgic look on my face, my memory quickly returns to the good times.

Ai Li quietly looked at the profile of the girl in front of her, and the scene from yesterday's dream reappeared.

In the dream, on a battlefield, Ellie saw a girl calling another man the King of Knights.

Is the girl in front of her really the King of Knights? Ellie couldn't help but have this thought in her dreams for several nights.

The more pictures she saw, the more...confused she became.

As a master, you make a contract with your servants, and their magic powers are connected.

This also allows her to see the past of her servants through dreams.

Those scenes were undoubtedly from the girl knight's past, but this also made Ellie more and more confused.

I wonder if she is the King of Knights himself.

"Aili, you look like you have something to ask me?"

Noticing the confusion on Aili's face, she took the initiative to speak.

Thinking about it carefully, I am not the kind of person who is good at observing words and emotions, but I have learned a lot from living with him.

"I seem to be really bad at hiding myself.

You can’t even hide this little thing.”

Ellie smiled bitterly, feeling a little discouraged.

"Ai Li, I am also a king. Observing the changes in other people's expressions and inferring their emotions is one of the abilities that a king needs to possess.

Without this skill, it is impossible to control one's own ministers."

Calmly talking about the ability to be a king.

This is also the ability she learned from her king, but... "Do I really ask this?"

Ellie asked hesitantly.

"Ask. Depending on the content of the question, I may not necessarily be able to give you the answer you want."
