The King of Knights in a Different World

After hearing the news, Angelil was no longer...calm.

no.551 This is the first floor

Lucifer's grand gesture immediately aroused a reaction from Rome.

At this moment, in the Roman fortress, Antony, Lucius, Arash and Camilla were discussing Lucifer's next move.

"The King of Knights is moving. Look in the direction. The target should be our side."

Anthony spoke first.

"Sure enough, he chose our place in the end. It was difficult to win this time."

Arash looked at the map, smiling somewhat...with helplessness.

"Whatever I'm afraid of, as long as I don't resort to tricks and are tough, I've never been afraid of anyone."

Lucius was... full of confidence at this time.

"I remember that you were a prisoner of the King of Knights before."

Camilla glanced at Lucius and said directly.

Lucius was a little embarrassed when he was mentioned about dark history.

He was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, so he didn't get angry, but defended himself.

"That was a mistake, a mistake.

We have been plotted. If we fight head-on again, I will be afraid of him!"

"This time the King of Knights brought nearly 100,000 people.

In addition, there are more than 200,000 people here, so there is no need to resort to any tricks this time.

If we attack from the front, we may not be able to defend it."

Anthony glanced at his friend.

If Lucifer didn't take any real action before, then they look very dangerous here.

At this time, Camilla was the only one among the four who had not faced Lucifer head-on.

"I heard that the King of Knights is not good at siege warfare."

She thought for a moment and said.

"I heard that the King of Knights is very upright.

I also heard that the King of Knights doesn’t play tricks.”

Anthony used two hearings in a row.

"The news I heard is of no use.

The only real news I've heard about the King of Knights right now is probably... that he can cook, and he does it well."

Arash also smiled and said at this time.

There is too much news about Lucifer, and too much has been heard.

Now they are somewhat confused about what is real and what is fake.

"Arash, forget your recipe.

Your poor cooking skills make you want to be a chef."

Anthony said jokingly.

"Shouldn't we be studying tactics to defeat the enemy now? Are you kidding me?"

Camilla looked at the other three comrades with some confusion.

how to say.

In her eyes, these three legion commanders didn't look like they were preparing for a big battle, but instead seemed like they were holding some sort of travel conference.

"Camilla, you haven't fought with that person, so you may not know.

What that person likes to do most is... to get you to take action first. When you take action and think you have found a great opportunity, you are not far from a trap."

Anthony took the initiative to explain to this...beautiful lady.

Having learned the painful lesson before, Anthony was very cautious this time.

If it weren't for the current situation, he would just stay in the fortress forever and never take a step out.

"There is such a stake"

"This is how we lost before.

But, as long as we don't move, no matter what, as long as we stay in the fortress, he will have no chance and can only attack the fortress."

Anthony has seen the best way to deal with Luer's tactics, which is simply...the retreat tactics.

in spite of....

No matter how the opponent moves or how he throws out the bait, as long as you don't make the move, you will be fooled.

He knew Lucifer's opponents in terms of strategy and tactics, but he didn't have any ways to deal with them.

"But, you were still there just now: complaining can't keep it."

Camilla said with some surprise.

"Press: If we can't hold the previous plan, we don't need to hold it. We will retreat directly to Venice."

Arash spoke of Antony's final plan.

According to the countermeasures they had discussed before, if they could not hold on, they would just retreat to Venice.

They are not worried about the consequences of failing to hold on.

"What I'm worried about now is another problem."

At this time, Anthony looked at the map blankly and couldn't help but think deeply.

"what is the problem"

"Our place is no better than Lyon. The fortress has two sides. The exit:.

If the King of Knights besieges the city but does not attack it, he will directly send elite troops to bypass it.

Our situation will be extremely bad."

While Anthony expressed his thoughts, others could not help but look at the map.

If the opponent really directly besieged the city, their situation would take a turn for the worse.

Because in that case, they would have to pay an unnecessary price if they wanted to break through.

"Well, that's true! Otherwise, we can retreat to Venice directly, and then send a message to Caesar to ask him to give up together."

Arash thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.

The reason why they are still here is because they are unwilling to give up.

It's also because of face issues.

If they ran away as soon as Lucifer arrived, not to mention what they thought, others would definitely think that they were scared by Lucifer and run away as soon as they saw someone.

It is precisely with this in mind that Seneca's plan was to retreat when he felt he could no longer hold it, rather than retreat from the beginning.

But from a strategic point of view, leaving directly and then clearing the country is the best choice.

"No, how could you just leave like this?

What a joke are we to hand over the fortress to others? We are the legionnaires of Rome.

Leaving right now before the fighting begins is tarnishing the glory of the Roman Empire."

At this point, Lucius immediately quit.

He can accept that he cannot defeat the enemy and retreat, but he cannot accept that the main retreat has not yet begun.

Just like before, surrendering when surrounded is not a problem.

That means you have no choice but to surrender before the fight even starts. That would be a shame.

"I agree with Lucius. The whole of Rome is watching us. To retreat directly now is to tell others that we are afraid of the King of Knights.

This was also a huge blow to our morale.

Besides, Lord Seneca said to retreat only when we can no longer hold on, not to retreat directly like now."

Camilla also did not agree with a direct retreat.

In her opinion, it was a shame to run away without even seeing the enemy.

It was more humiliating than defeat. Besides, in her opinion, Lucifer was just an overhyped king. She had never met her before. If she had met her, she would have taught Lucifer how to behave.

In fact, most strong people do not lack this kind of mysterious self-confidence.

Rather, without this kind of self-confidence, it is impossible to become a strong person.

But confidence is one thing, reality is another.

At least Anthony was more confident than Camilla before he was defeated.

"It's rare for me and a woman to agree.

You're right. Besides, if His Majesty defeats Ross while we hold on, His Majesty will be able to bring a large army back to support, and the person who should be worried about it then is...the King of Knights, not us."

Lucius smiled and continued.

"Reinforcements! I suddenly have a new plan."

Hearing this, Anthony's expression suddenly lit up.

"What's the plan? Tell me quickly!"

"We must first be prepared to hold on. If the King of Knights really besieges the city, we will send people to notify Caesar in advance and ask him to leave Ganelon to cover in the south. He will lead the elite north to join us and attack the King of Knights together. "

Anthony pointed to the map and drew a red line on it.

His idea is still to join forces, but to join forces in advance.

"good idea.

When the time comes, if we win, we won’t retreat, and at worst, we can retreat together if it’s a draw.”

Lucius immediately agreed.

no.552 The situation is wrong

In the Roman fortress, Antony was looking at the map in front of him, his expression becoming more and more... heavy.

"Something is wrong!"

After watching for a long time, Anthony formally spoke.

“Something is not right”

Lucius didn't understand what was wrong.

"What's wrong!"

Camilla asked directly.

"The speed is wrong.

The King of Knights had set out half a month ago, his vanguard arrived at the front two days ago, and Boudica began the siege of the city just one day ago.

Something is wrong.

This is not the way of the King of Knights."

Anthony's expression was very bad, and he felt that he had overlooked something.

“There’s something wrong”

"Judging from the King of Knights' previous tactics, he is very concerned about marching speed.

There's no way you can run this slow."
