The King of Knights in a Different World

no.547 Two choices

At the same time that Rome received the news, Lucifer also received news about Ross.

For this reason, Lucifer summoned the three marshals and most of the round table to return to the royal city, because the next battle was crucial.

In the confidential room of the palace, besides...the general, Mira was also inside.

As the prime minister, she also needs Lucifer's next strategic plan before she can make arrangements.

After Mira simply announced the news about Ross, the faces of the marshal and the general showed expressions of eagerness to try.

Even if their overall view is not strong, they can still see this opportunity.

“Once Rus sends troops, Rome will definitely send heavy troops to respond.

This is a great opportunity for...Britain.

Because we got France, we have more choices than before."

The baton in Lucifer's hand pointed at the map behind him.

"There are two main directions of attack. I don't know which one Wang wants to choose."

Mia looked at the map and asked seriously.

One is the Fortress of Victory and the other is Lyon.

There were Roman garrisons in both directions, but for Mia, these... were not a problem.

The reason why she played conservatively before was just because of Lucifer's order.

If it's not an order, she prefers to attack.

"It should be my fortress of victory.

This is more suitable for large-scale cavalry marches. Once the Roman defense is broken, all obstacles behind it can be cleared in a short time, no matter...

In terms of supplies or sending troops, going east has a better chance of winning."

Boudica looked at the map and expressed her opinion.

"I agree with Marshal Boudica. The terrain in the south is a bit complicated, and France was unable to defeat Rome because of this."

Gawain immediately agreed.

"Me too! We can maximize our advantage by attacking from the east."

Lancelot also nodded.

From a military strategy perspective, this is no problem.

It is also an advantageous choice.

However, Tristan has a different view on this.

"But for such an obvious problem, since we can see it, the other party can also see it.

Rome will definitely deploy heavy troops in the west.

At this time, our attack from Lyon may have unexpected results."

Tristan was not against Gawain's view, but after thinking about it, he thought of other possibilities.

Since the opponent may have heavy troops deployed in the west, it may be a better choice to attack from a less populated area.

"Agegui Wenqing, what do you think?"

At this time, Lucifer looked at Agguiwen and asked.

"King, what the three Round Table compatriots said makes sense.

With the king's ability, the Roman fortress must be captured regardless of whether he attacks from the Fortress of Victory or from Lyon.

What we need to consider now is not victory, but how to reduce casualties while winning."

Ague's considerations are completely different from those of the previous round tables.

He believed that it would not be difficult for Lucifer to capture the fortress. The reason why he did not attack before was because of Lucifer's strategic needs and also because of the casualties of the soldiers.

"Agegui Wenqing has the same idea as me. We don't want to see our soldiers shed useless blood.

But victory is an inevitable result, and we should consider how to achieve the best for the king."

Percival also believed so.

"That's right! That's right! Otherwise, even if we attack, we can continue to advance eastward.

With such a good opportunity this time, just laying down a fortress is definitely not what the king wants.

Considering the problem of supply lines, I would choose the east side."

Keilar couldn't help but smile at this time and said.

As members of the Round Table, they never doubted Lucifer's ability.

Naturally, I don't think that a small fortress can make Lucifer helpless.

"I wonder what the king has in mind."

Mia looked at Lucifer.

"My idea is very simple, that's it."

Lucifer used his baton to draw two lines on the map.

One goes forward from the Fortress of Victory, and the other goes up from Lyon.

"Two sides, attack"

Boudica looked at Lucifer with some surprise.

She was surprised at this moment that this was not Lucifer's style.

When they discussed military affairs together in the past, Lucifer always emphasized the concentration of superior forces.

As well as issues regarding the primary and secondary aspects of attack.

Even if the troops were divided for defense before, the legions brought by Lucifer were also very elite, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat Macedonia head-on.

But now... "Russ is about to move south, and most of the troops on the Roman side will be attracted to Rus.

These two sides don't get much support at all. If they join forces, I might find it a bit troublesome.

To this end, the first step we have to take is... to prevent them from joining forces.

If we want to do this, we must adopt a posture of attacking from both sides."

The small stick in Lucifer's hand continued to indicate the direction of the Royal City of Rome.

"Luring the enemy?

Let their originally few troops be dispersed."

Boudica murmured, understanding what Lucifer meant.

Deliberately attacking from both sides to make Rome hesitate.

As long as Rome does not want to give up the two fortresses, it will maintain the current layout.

When the time comes, they will each have a chance to defeat them.

"That's right.

The initiative in this attack lies with us.

My idea is very simple: the first step is to make an offensive posture from both sides, attract them to divide their forces for defense, and test the reality of the two points at the same time."

Lucifer continued to describe his plan.

"This is not difficult. As long as we send troops now, they will be attracted by the way the king did not attack before.

The second step is"

Mia immediately asked understandingly.

She has done this kind of thing several times and is very familiar with it.

"The second step is to find out which point is more vulnerable, and then deliberately send support to attack the stronger point.

To further attract the weak point to divide their troops to support the strong point, even if they can't let them divide their troops, at least let Rome's support go to the strong point.

Then this force quickly came to the weak point and attacked forcefully."

Lucifer's plan is already very obvious.

Just... depending on the situation, you can lure the enemy, and then attack the other side.

"Is there a third step?"

"Yes! I have observed the situation of the two fortresses. If they cannot be attacked by force in a short time, then I will send a group of elite troops to Rome to support them. At this time, they should also realize that they have been fooled and use this fortress as a bait to attack all the people. Support annihilation.”

Having said this, Lucifer put away his baton and took a few steps forward to continue speaking.

His finger pointed at a city that was very obvious on the map.

"The fourth step is, once the weak point attack is successful, don't worry about anything else and immediately send the elite to attack Venice.

Take this water city and trap the remaining legions of Rome in the remaining places, while preventing other support from Rome.

The remaining troops in the weak point should go to the stronger point to join the legion over there and annihilate the Roman army here.

Everyone, remember, our goal this time is not only the Roman land, but more importantly, we must not let the more than 200,000 Roman troops in this area run back."

That's right.

This is Lucifer's biggest goal.

Roman legions.

If they had just defeated the Roman army, they might have made a comeback, but if they had wiped out this legion in one fell swoop, the situation on Nero's side would have taken a turn for the worse.

If she had not defeated Catherine by then, she would have no choice but to abandon the entire western side of Rome and retreat.

no.548 The fourth step

Just when everyone was looking forward to Lucifer's plan, Saint George, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"As for Macedonia, won't they take the opportunity to attack us? Alexander was defeated at the hands of the king before. He must want to shed blood and suffer humiliation."

Alexander had failed once before, and St. George didn't think he was the kind of person who was willing to fail.

It would be very dangerous not to consider the situation in Macedonia in this situation.

"Yes, he will definitely think so.

So I need you to return to your position after the marshal."

Lucifer nodded and said.

"Please leave it to me, King.

We will send support when necessary."

"Don't be too nervous, my marshal.

Although it was possible for Alexander to attack, the possibility was slim.

It's an opportunity for us, it's an opportunity for Alexander."

Seeing Saint George's expression, Lucifer continued his analysis.

"Chance"

"Is it because of Helen's civil strife?"

Mira expressed her speculation.

She was not very good at previous military issues, so she had not spoken before, but when it came to the international situation, she could immediately understand it.

"That's right! It's... Helen.

Once we begin to attack Rome, there are only two roads in front of Macedonia.

One is to join forces with Rome and take the opportunity to sneak attack on us.

But as long as we are prepared, his sneak attack will be difficult to succeed.
