The King of Knights in a Different World

Most of the tactics recorded in Sun Tzu's Art of War are ideal goals, that is to say, a kind of guiding ideology. If someone really uses it as a tactical copy, then in the end... I don't know how he died.

The prerequisite for the opponent to surrender is strength. Without strength, the enemy cannot surrender.

But on the other hand, once you have strength, not all victories must be resolved through war.

Just like he had not attacked the city before, the church also surrendered directly.

"But I still think this is not what a hero would do."

Atta continued.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall Helen's war before. At that time, it was... a direct confrontation, and anyone who ran away was a coward.

She was used to that kind of war, but when she came to Lucifer's side, she didn't adapt to Lucifer's tactics.

"I don't deny this.

I am not a hero, at least in my heart I think so.

If I am really a hero, it is only your hero.

No more other than that.”

Lucifer's words made it difficult for Atta to say anything else.

Next to him, Drettel looked at human love with interest and said with a smile.

"You act more like a sage than a hero.

It’s strange, why do others call you the King of Knights when the title King of Sages is more suitable for you?”

"Maybe it's because I'm staying in the country of knights."

"But it's so boring like this."

Atta said and jumped directly off Lucifer.

Her nature is still like a cat, more lively and active.

"Didn't I give you my Cang Riding God?

If you're bored, how about some driving training? Ter, how's the situation with the Gray Riding God?"

Speaking of the Riding God, Lucifer looked at Deheter.

Now that Venus is not around, she is the only one who knows how these big guys function.

“Unfortunately, I struck too hard at the time, and with its ability to recover, it may take several months.

Cang's recovery can be completed within a month.

I ask this question suddenly, do you want to attack the city with two horsemen?"

Deheter truthfully told the situation at hand.

She was fighting against Gray and was once suppressed by humans because her body did not belong to the divine body.

Originally this was just a small thing, but to her as a god it was a shame.

It's okay to be taken into the harem by Lucifer. She acknowledges Lucifer himself, and given his lack of strength, she won't say anything more.

But others are different.

In essence, she is still a god, and the gentle expression on her face is only like this in front of Lucifer.

Therefore, the gray driver was in tragedy.

Because he could not follow the mental impact of the battle with the Riding God, he died directly in [Gray]'s body.

"I had this idea, but after thinking about it I decided not to do it."

Lucifer smiled and said.

"Wise choice.

The Riding God has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary people, but there must be a large number of defensive weapons in the fortress, as well as heroic human beings.

For them, the Riding God is a bit too big a target.

Of course, it might be different if you drive it yourself."

"As for me, it doesn't matter whether you want to ride a god or not."

In this regard, Lucifer said with a smile.

The reason why Lucifer did not rush to attack was because he saw Helen's movements. Macedonia had used troops against Helen for many years, and most of them were Macedonian attacks.

Helen was unable to form a joint force because she was concerned about Macedonia's strength and cherished feathers.

However, this time is different. Macedonia has just withdrawn its troops from Helen and Lucifer defeated Alexander. This can't help but give Helen's people a false impression.

Those...kings have seen themselves before, and except for...a few, most of them don't think highly of themselves.

Under the influence of this mysterious self-confidence, Helen's kings will feel that this is a good opportunity to counterattack.

Now the main force of Macedonia is held back by Britain, and its defense against Helen has dropped to the lowest level. If you don't attack at this time, you will be sorry for your relatives.

Then, under this God-given opportunity.

They sent out troops.

The eight city-states formed an army of approximately 120,000 men and attacked the southern defense line of Macedonia. Leonatus, who was stationed here, was a general who admired the conquering king very much.

Facing defeated generals like Helen, he had no intention of asking for help.

Originally he had 60,000 garrison troops and he should defend the city and call for reinforcements. This was the best way.

But unfortunately, he thought he could handle these... Helen's trash fish by himself, so he directly led his army to attack.

Originally, he had a good idea, taking advantage of Helen's arrival of only 40,000 vanguards, and using 50,000 troops to defeat this vanguard force, which would definitely scare away the remaining people.

But he did not investigate the commander of this army, Pericles.

This... young commander who was born in Athens had anticipated his arrival in advance, or perhaps the reason why Pericles' forward troops arrived so slowly was to wait for him.

Just as Leonatus led his army into a melee with the opponent, another ambush suddenly appeared and attacked his flank.

The commander of this army was Adrastus, the king of Argos.

The reason why he agreed to go to war this time was to avenge his son Aegialeus who died in the battle.

Although Aegialeus did not die at the hands of Leonatus, it was almost the same for him.

Also participating in the war was his friend Capanius.

Under the attack of the two armies, Leotus soon found that his troops entered a rout rhythm.

So he could only take his troops and flee back into the fortress.

However, the coalition forces on the Greek side were not Lucifer. They pursued and killed them all the way to the fortress, and directly began to attack.

When Lucifer is attacking a city, he will consider the consumption of soldiers, as well as a series of subsequent events.

But they are different, they are not only for revenge, but also for glory.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the opponent had just failed and the general was injured, the Greek army launched a fierce attack for two days. Finally, on the third morning, they boarded the fortress that was lost eight years ago.

And Leonatus had already taken advantage of the darkness to leave the fortress with the remaining 20,000 people, and met his comrades on the way.

The fall of Thebit Fortress shocked Helen and Macedon at the same time, and war broke out between the two countries that had just been calm for a while.

The first heroes to scale the city wall in this war were also called the "Seven Heroes".

Leonatus led his men to retreat to Evengard Fortress and joined forces with Ong to defend it.

The combined strength of the two of them is only 60,000.

In fact, Hephaestion is not here to begin with. In addition, some of the troops have been taken away, so naturally there cannot be too many troops.

Facing the menacing Helen, the two decided to ask Alexander for help after discussion.

When the news reached Alexander's ears, his expression turned ugly.

Originally, when Helen's Twelve Army was gathering, information was also passed to him.

Out of his understanding of Helen, Alexander had ordered Hephaestion to bring his 33,000 men to support.

But when the news came again, the information he received was that the fortress had been lost.

One of the most important reasons was that Leonatus took the initiative to lead his troops and was ambushed.

"That... idiot, dares to take the initiative when faced with twice the opponent's strength.

If I had known this, I should have ordered him to defend."

Alexander was in a bad mood at this time, but he did not yell at his men.

He also knew that swearing here would only affect the morale of the military. It wasn't that he didn't want to curse, he just wanted to wait until the war was over.

"Judging from the situation at the time, there were not many problems with General Leonatus' decision.

The opponent has 120,000 people. If we hold on, we will suffer great losses even if we do hold on.

Being proactive in situations like this is a good idea.”

Weber stood up and spoke kindly to Leonatus.

Judging from the situation at the time, taking the initiative to go out was an excellent idea.

Weber assumed that he would not even think that the other party would take the initiative.

Too bad... "But he lost."

Seleucus said calmly.

"He lost to a commander who didn't understand the other side.

The other party obviously knew his personality very well, so they used this method to lure him into taking the bait."

Weber explained why.

Just like before, they didn't understand Lucifer, so they lost.

Now there is obviously a new commander on Helen's side, and they don't understand it either.

"Whoever planned this operation has never met him before."

Alexander did not dwell on the failure, but continued to speak.

"Pericles, a former Athenian, was exiled for offending the Athenian nobles and came to Calydon where he was reused for his outstanding military abilities.

This time he was elected as one of the three commanders by King Calydon and King Rhodes."

Aristotle revealed the commander's information.

In fact, Aristotle had also paid attention to this person before.

But at that time, he didn't think that this man would be so capable.

He rarely regretted it, because when the other party was exiled, they had the opportunity to recruit the other party to join Macedonia.

"The situation on the mainland has become more and more chaotic, and some unknown people have begun to appear on this stage."

Alexander didn't say anything more, but instead sighed.

"King, the current situation is not the worst.

Currently, only the Eight-Power Allied Forces are taking action. Because it is a secret agreement, they did not participate in the torch ceremony.

This is also why I didn't predict it before.

But it also reveals a message."

Aristotle analyzed the current situation very calmly at this time.

"What the sage means is to find a way to prevent other city-states from participating in the war."

Weber immediately understood.

"Exactly.

Helen's allies are Athens and Sparta, and as long as they don't join in, there's still room for maneuver.

We are now trying our best to prevent them from joining the war, otherwise Helen's many heroes will definitely join in.
