The King of Knights in a Different World

"His Majesty the Pope means that whoever captures Paris first will have the key."

Richelieu came up with a solution.

This method is very insidious.

But it's the best way at the moment.

“Would the same be true if the Pope took Paris first?”

Aristotle asked immediately.

This is a blind spot, and it is easy to be plotted if you don't ask clearly.

Richelieu naturally understood this.

"The troops of the Papal State will not attack Paris. Please rest assured."

He said so.

The current Church State no longer has the strength to plot against the two great powers.

Doing this is... allowing two countries to destroy them.

"The specific location of the treasure."

Seneca continued to ask.

"There is an invisible door hidden in the deepest part of the palace, and the treasure is hidden inside.

That door will only appear at a certain time."

"time."

"Every moonless night only lasts for one night."

"Did the church have secret plans to seize the treasure before joining France?"

Hearing this, Aristotle looked at Richelieu with a smile.

He now somewhat understood why the church chose France.

"We do not deny that this is also one of the purposes.

It’s just that the King of Knights’ combat power is so strong that we don’t have time to react.”

"The Pope paid the key for what he wanted. His Majesty the Pope will not want anything, so just help us."

"of course not.

What His Majesty the Pope means is that the southern part of France, with Boyer as the boundary, will be handed over to the Church to establish a new Papal State.

As for other aspects, it is up to the two countries to discuss it themselves."

Richelieu told the church's bottom line.

"Just the news of a treasure wants to occupy nearly half of the land in the south of France.

Are all believers so greedy?"

"The church will also send troops for this operation."

They didn't talk much about this issue.

Because there are many variable factors when it comes to this kind of thing, it is impossible to discuss it well.

Thinking of this, Seneca then spoke.

"We need time to investigate the facts of the matter."

"That makes sense.

But we believers will never deceive you."

"If you dare, the one who will disappear is...your Papal State."

Before leaving, Aristotle smiled and uttered threatening words.

The church is just the middleman, and the other two countries are the leaders.

no.468 Human instinct

Faced with the pressure brought by Lucifer, Rome and Macedonia temporarily chose to join forces.

Of course, they all have their own selfish motives. In addition to the treasure, Macedonia also takes a fancy to Lucifer's huge fleet in Calais.

Even if they can't get this fleet, they still want to try their best to destroy it.

After all, Macedonia's maritime power is insufficient.

In contrast, Rome wanted to suppress the power of Britain until Rus recovered.

If Britain could be driven back to the British mainland, even if France was divided equally with Macedonia, Rome's overall strength would still be stronger than Macedonia.

Moreover, with Macedonia in check, Rome could also concentrate on Ross's strategy.

This was Rome's strategic direction.

As for the Papal States, they actually didn't care.

After all, this is just a small country.

A few days later, Rome and Macedonia secretly reached an agreement, and they agreed on a time to send troops to Britain together.

Although the agreement is secret, just moving troops is... a big move, and it is unlikely to be hidden from other countries.

Lucifer made arrangements as soon as he got the news.

Mia took her old troops to the east to support Boudica, and also brought Ogier, one of the original Twelve Knights of France. Leah took Gareth, Dion and Alfred to Lyon. , and he himself took Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan and others to the east, plus St. George and Siegfried originally faced Alexander together.

Paris is garrisoned by Aguen to ensure the stability of France as a whole and the stability of logistics.

But this time, Lucifer still brought Atta as his escort. Considering the previous encounter with the Moon God, Demeter was also traveling together.

The two of them replaced Leah as Lucifer's bodyguards.

Although in terms of overall strength, the two of them combined are definitely not as strong as Leah in the Holy Spear state, but they have special abilities in other aspects.

In this way, a few months after the closure of the Battle of France, a new round of war on the continent began again.

But this time it was Lucifer fighting one against two.

Although Rome is powerful, Mia and Leia should have no problem taking advantage of the terrain.

And he needs to face the conquering king with all his strength.

After more than ten days of preparation, Lucifer came to the front line with an army of 70,000. Together with the 80,000 troops originally owned by St. George here, there were a total of 150,000.

There are 30,000 former French troops here.

In comparison, Leah's army in Lyon only had 130,000 troops, and there were 40,000 former French soldiers in the army.

Mia's defense line in the east also has 30,000 French troops.

This is the total number of French legions that Lucifer had retained before.

On a hillside outside the Foggy Moon Fortress, Lucifer was looking at the Church Country in the distance.

Thanks to the previous intelligence and the speed of the army's assembly, although the battlefield this time was further away from him, he still reached the fortress before the opponent.

After arriving here two days ago, Lucifer has been observing the terrain for the past two days.

There are very few plain areas in front of us. Instead, the hillsides are hilly compared to the gravel belt.

In this situation, the superiority of cavalry cannot be fully demonstrated, but infantry is better at fighting.

Of course, this is based on the need to attack.

If you defend it, there will be a plain near and behind the fortress.

If the other party doesn't care...

The defenders of the fortress should go directly over and block the opening to destroy them.

"Such a beautiful land will be set on fire again.

Human beings are really keen on killing existence."

Demeter was wearing a green female armor. She stood up from her crouching position, holding a handful of soil in her hand.

In the soil, a white flower gradually emerged:.

This is one of her abilities.

In fact, she prefers peaceful farming to fighting among humans.

Will Venus still cause trouble, but she won't.

"This is an instinct that is imprinted in our blood, beating with us when we are born, and not stopping until we die."

Lucifer looked at the goddess beside him and responded calmly.

"You should be a poet."

"When the time comes, come and play the piano for me."

"I don't know how to play a musical instrument, so I'd better let Venus do it.

She is very good at these... things that make people happy.

It’s just that human beings obviously have unparalleled creativity, why do they choose to destroy?”

As she spoke, Demeter began to sigh about human nature again.

She says she is a poet, but in fact she is more like a female poet.

After all, for poets, it is already an instinct to feel sentimental about spring cicadas and autumn moons, and summer orioles and winter snows.

"Creation and destruction are twins.

Most of the time, for us, robbing is always faster than creating.

The king over there believes in the royal way of conquest. For him, creation is not an instinct, but an embellishment.

To make him happy is the conquest itself. Of course, if you give this place to him, he may not be interested."

Lucifer smiled and said.

If you tell the Conqueror directly now, I admit defeat and don’t want to fight. Let’s make peace.

He was probably the first to be unhappy and wanted to flip the table.

Of course, if you fight once, there may be another result.

"You really know him."

“The best way to defeat your opponent is to understand your opponent.

If you want to take the entire continent into your hands, you can’t do it without doing some homework.”

After Lucifer finished speaking, Atta on the side also joined their conversation.

"Lucifer, do you think that...the conquering king will understand you?"

Atta's glasses moved to her forehead, she looked directly at Lucifer and said.

"Probably not.

In my opinion, he is the type who... understands other people in battle. It's not that he is unsmart, but on the contrary, he is too smart... but he has no idea of ​​doing homework in advance like a fool like me."

Lucifer smiled and laughed at himself.

I am the kind of person who... prepares for the worst in advance, and then moves forward carefully step by step, trying not to fall into a trap.

But the conquering king on the opposite side belongs to that kind of... I believe that the front will not matter...

He is the type who can escape any trap that appears.

Not that he is stupid, but that he has absolute confidence in his abilities.

"If you were a fool, Helen's sages could all commit suicide by hitting the wall."

Atta couldn't help but complain about Lucifer's words.

If we really want to say which one of them is an idiot, Atta feels that Joan of Arc is actually quite suitable for the title of idiot.

But her efforts to take notes seriously will not make people laugh at her for being really stupid.
