The King of Knights in a Different World

He was not even in the mood to smoke cigarettes today.

Before the battle report came, he never thought that Lucifer's target was reinforcements instead of the royal city.

In his opinion, Lucifer should quickly capture the royal city as he did when he attacked France.

But now...one wrong step, one wrong step.

"You thought before that you should go back and rescue the royal city as soon as possible."

Alexander glanced at Weber and said.

"My previous suggestion was based on the situation that the royal city can be defended, but the royal city may be lost at present.

Worst case scenario, we're stuck in Helen."

"If we give up Macedonia and continue to develop based on Helen, can we find a way to make a comeback?"

Alexander mentioned a possibility.

"It's difficult! If the news of Britain's occupation of Macedonia reaches Helen, let alone what happens at home, the king of Helen who just surrendered will definitely have second thoughts.

Just half a Helen cannot support our current army of more than 500,000 people.

There are also the surrendered troops in Helen.

Our current military strength is close to 700,000.

but......"

Weber's expression was a little troubled.

"But it can't show its strength at all."

Alexander certainly knew what his army was like.

In fact, commanding this huge army was a bit difficult for him.

Before that, the army he commanded was only 300,000 at most, but now it was doubled.

Too many people will cause trouble.

"yes.

If the current 700,000-strong army were like Britain's before, it would be enough to sweep across the entire Helen.

Not to mention the previous British army, even the elite Macedonian soldiers were the same.

But our previous strong attack was a bit expensive.

If we are trapped in Helen, the army will collapse sooner or later."

Weber analyzed calmly.

The reason why they were able to attack like this all the way before was because their vanguard force always numbered around 200,000, followed by a reserve force.

Wait until the people in front are sacrificed, then the people behind will make up for it.

If we really pull out 500,000 people at once, without fighting, they will themselves become chaos.

Not to mention the need to bear the burden of food.

Without Macedonian reinforcements, their army may starve to death.

In fact, once the Macedonian royal city is lost, the entire territory of Macedonia may surrender on a large scale.

Then they will lose their choice.

They were left with only one choice, to force a decisive battle with Lucifer.

But this premise is that Helen cannot cause trouble during the decisive battle.

no.563 Rebellion is tradition

Considering that Lucifer's army entered Macedonia first, there shouldn't be too many.

Alexander immediately decided to take 300,000 elite troops back to Macedonia, leaving nearly 400,000 ordinary troops in Helen to suppress the remaining Helen League.

At the same time, Alexander also accepted Weber's suggestion, using Lucifer's previous methods as a reference, and took all the kings who had surrendered with him.

Let their relatives temporarily take care of the territory occupied by Helen.

Without these...King, there shouldn't be much rebellion within Helen.

Afterwards, he appointed Attalus as the acting governor of Helen to be responsible for continuing the war against the coalition forces in Helen.

After sorting out, Alexander immediately led his army back north.

However, he received bad news just after crossing the border between the two countries: the Macedonian royal city had fallen.

Aristotle fled to the border with ten thousand people to join Alexander.

and detailed what he knew about the situation.

After this period of waiting, Lucifer arrived in Macedonia with a total force of 250,000 troops, and no one was seen in the maritime fleet for the time being.

Lucifer followed Aristotle's footsteps and came to Roswaal to confront Alexander.

As a result, Alexander's main line was forced to be compressed into a small space in the south.

However, while Alexander was still thinking about how to defeat the enemy, bad news came from the other side.

A batch of grain transported from Helen was intercepted while passing through the border.

All three thousand people delivering food were killed and the food was burned.

Although there was only ten days of food for an army of 300,000 men, it was enough to give Alexander a headache.

Since he could not move forward, he could not collect food on a large scale.

So it can only be sent from the rear.

Originally, his 300,000-strong army only brought a month's worth of food for the sake of marching speed, and he planned to transport the rest of the food slowly.

But it's a pity that something like this happened.

When he had a headache, he could only ask someone to send another batch over.

However, the 5,000 men sent this time were intercepted and killed, and were sent twice more.

Even an army of 10,000 people was intercepted and killed, and Alexander finally felt that something was wrong.

At first he thought the mysterious army was rebels within Helen who were dissatisfied with him.

But now it seems that is not the case at all, those people cannot have such ability.

"Who is it?"

Alexander thought for a long time and never expected who suddenly appeared behind him.

Lucifer was right across from him. He had sent many people during this period, but he never noticed the other party's movements.

"The only thing I can think of that might be Britain's naval force.

After abandoning Sargar, they may have come to the vicinity of Helen."

Weber's face looked a little ugly at this time.

"I think the same way.

This step is quite insidious. If we allow them to keep attacking our food channels, we will soon run out of food.

Even if the King of Knights doesn't attack by then, we will collapse without a fight."

Aristotle said the same thing.

"They don't fight us head-on, but they attack the grain roads in the rear.

The King of Knights’ tactics are getting more and more disgusting.”

Alexander's expression was very bad, and he hit the table with his fist.

If he loses in a head-on battle, he will be convinced.

It was like that, but now, Lucifer is just a formation soldier and has no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Instead, he keeps sending people to attack his food routes.

This is the first time I have seen this in Alexander.

"It's disgusting, but we can't do anything about it.

We can send a large army to escort the food."

Weber thought for a while and came up with a solution.

“This is the only way at the moment.

He has the ability to defeat me head-on, but now he is making small moves here.

If this continues, I won’t be willing to lose even if I lose.”

Alexander did not refute.

If 10,000 is not enough, then use 50,000.

"I think the King of Knights has other considerations."

Aristotle also had a bad expression.

"What considerations"

"Rome.

Even the Sun King and the Hero King.

If I guessed correctly, his goal from the beginning was... Macedonia and Rome.

He wants to use Ross's help to eliminate the two biggest threats in front of him in one fell swoop."

Now Aristotle finally saw Lucifer's strategic direction clearly.

Before, he thought that Lucifer would deal with Rome first, and then find a way to attack Macedonia in three ways.

This should be the most ideal approach.

But now it seems that Lucifer's appetite is greater than imagined.

"How long will we have enough food to last?"

Alexander asked the question that concerned him most at present.

From the initial march to the constant attacks on food supplies in the past few days, he was not sure how long his food supplies would last.

"Ten days.

If the food is not available, we will have no food available in ten days.

The King of Knights wants to use this move to force us to take the initiative to attack the fortress.

It's ironic that the fortress built by Macedonia to defend against foreign enemies has now become a wall to block me."

"Ask Antipater to go back, and together with Attalus, lead an army of 50,000, and then send...a batch of food."

"yes!"

"We must take advantage of this time to figure out a way to defeat the King of Knights."

Alexander's orders were issued quickly.

There is no problem with the delivery process, but the problem comes after that.

Helen's Trick City, this is where Attalos currently has his office.

In fact, after capturing half of Helen, he has been responsible for the logistics here.

During this period of time, he had become very familiar with the local nobles of Helen.

Now that Alexander has left, he is... half Helen's king.

He enjoyed this feeling very much, except of course.........the food was robbed before.

After receiving the order from Antipater again, his expression was a little ugly.

The inventory has been shipped out, and now it needs to be shipped again.

Then you can only go directly to the private sector to grab it.

After nearly half a year of war, the situation among the people is also somewhat bad.
