The knight king of the otherworldly moon

At this time, they could not get the order of their coach, because Charlemagne had to face the central army from behind.

Lucifer himself.

Charlemagne held the holy sword 【Jiuweiss】, and fought against Lucifer for the first time.

That's right, he had fantasized about this moment countless times, but when we actually met, there was more bitterness than joy.

After several confrontations, their surroundings were covered with sword marks, and within a few hundred meters, it had become a no-man's land.

"Knight King, let's call you Lucifer.

I looked forward to our meeting a long time ago.

But because of each other's identities, it has been dragged on until now, and in the end, they can only face each other with swords in the least handsome way.

Ah, there is always a feeling of ruining the legend."

Charlemagne was looking at Lucifer with a smile at the moment.

"Looking forward to meeting me. If you don't want to meet me in such an embarrassed way, you should find a way to become a king, instead of being annihilated by me like you are now.

I am a little disappointed in you, Charlemagne."

Lucifer also smiled. Although the... marshal in front of him was quite strong, he didn't bring much... pressure on him.

The most important thing is that I am the king now, and the one in front of me... is not.

The king who eventually established the Frankish kingdom in another history is not even a king here.

Although it was a pity, Lucifer did not show much mercy.

He didn't need his own pity either.

"impossible.

I'm not fit to be a king, and I can't imagine myself being a king at all.

Compared to becoming a king, the time I traveled with Na Morolan and the others is the world I look forward to most in my heart.

But, there is no going back."

Charlemagne spoke what was in his mind.

He doesn't really have much interest in the throne.

Although he was suspected by his father because of his ability, he didn't care.

Even when Louis took the throne next, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Rather than being a king, he actually prefers to be the protagonist in a knight novel.

"Now that you know what you want, you should work hard to find it.

If you can't even do this, how can you talk about a handsome life."

Saying that, Lucifer swung a sword close to him.

Charlemagne responded firmly while blocking Lucifer's attack.

"As a prince and marshal of France, many times I am doomed to be unable to work hard to pursue what I want.

I'm sure you are the same, King of Knights."

It was not until now that he met Lucifer that he was finally convinced of one thing.

This matter has troubled him for a long time.

That's right, that is the desire of Lucifer as the king to be in harmony with the kingship.

This also means that Lucifer is not as eager to go to the throne as his father.

Thinking of this, he felt that Lucifer should be someone who was bound by his identity like him.

Even more and more... the rumor that Lucifer is... the illegitimate son of the previous King of Britain.

"If you insist on comparing me to you, it will be nerve-wracking.

You are bound by your identity and blood, and these... are precisely the things that I don't care about the most...

Besides, what was wrong.

Becoming a king, such as the protagonist in a novel, travels with his companions, there is no conflict between the two things.

Charlemagne was stunned by Lucifer's words.

"No Contradictions"

"If there is a contradiction, how can there be no contradiction, and how can all these be brought into the palm of your hand, and the person who solves it at the same time, this is the king.

But before I became king, I was first and foremost alone.

You, on the contrary, prioritize yourself being a prince before being a human being."

Although he seems to be very responsible, he is enough to be a role model for knights.

But I know what is going on with myself, and I think more about myself and the people around me than the country itself.

Just like when I first chose to be king because of Leah.

Instead, the prince looked very personal, but had the country in his heart.

"Yeah! Maybe you're right. I'm just such an idiot who daydreams in reality. I'm not handsome at all, and I'm not the protagonist."

As he swung the sword, the color of the sword in Charlemagne's hand changed again.

"You may not be the protagonist of the story, but for the story of your life, you are the one who wrote it. If you are destined to not be able to write the beginning, then at least think about your ending."

"..."

After listening to Lucifer's words, Charlemagne suddenly took a few steps back. He first put away his sword, and then drew it out... He said formally to Lucifer.

"The Knight Charlemagne challenges you!"

"Finally want to do what you love the most.

It's a bit late, but it's still good.

Although the protagonist of this kind of challenge system is not good enough, I accept your challenge."

Swinging his sword again, now that the failure was doomed, Charlemagne finally let go of his shackles. He no longer thought about Lancie or the battlefield here, but simply regarded himself as a knight and wanted to defeat Lucifer. Bit... 'Demon King'.

The battle of pure swordsmanship did not rely on the power of the holy sword. After countless sword-blade clashes, there was a cracking sound in the air, and the holy sword in Charlemagne's hand had been released.

And he had a huge wound on his body.

"It's over, Charlemagne.

Hopefully next time you won't be bound by this boring stuff."

Lucifer drank the blood from the sword and turned to the fallen knight.

"If there is a second life, I hope I can be the knight in the story.

France will leave it to you."

Charlemagne fell down with a smile and gave Lucifer his final entrustment.

"It's not like you should say it to me."

"One does not need to kill each other, everyone can smile, everyone understands each other and lives in peace, and pursues their own future in a just environment.

You want to build such a country!"

Charlemagne had secretly traveled to Britain with Roland a long time ago, and it was at that time that he became interested in Lucifer.

The king who appears to be a tyrant, has done the least like a tyrant.

"Um."

"That's great.

If you live in this country, maybe you can become a handsome protagonist.

Don't think about the prince's business anymore, don't have to bear the fate of the country anymore."

Then, Charlemagne smiled and closed his eyes.

In the last moments of his life, he seemed to see his afterlife.

In that world, he was just an ordinary knight, fighting the legendary Demon King with his friends.

no.423 Great Retreat

With the death of Charlemagne, the situation on the entire battlefield was in a one-sided situation.

The British armies easily divided, cut, and annihilated the French armies.

In this battle, his other twelve knights were also killed one after another, Dion was wounded in a coma and captured, and Richelieu disappeared.

With the general situation gone, some nobles fled for their lives and some surrendered. With the precedent of these people, the remaining nearly 10,000+ troops also chose to surrender.

Lucifer first entered the Maginot Fortress, and then turned the prisoners on and off.

Some were sent to local detention, and some were sent to White Rock Fortress in Britain.

Another part was sent to the southwest of France.

After dealing with these matters in a total of about three days, he took the leaders of these noble troops in the army, leaving 5 people stationed in the Maginot Fortress to guard the prisoners, and another 1 people were left in Verdun. 1 people sent the wounded back home for treatment.

After that, he took the remaining 20 troops and marched towards the King of France.

At the same time, Lucifer directly ordered Drake not to follow the previous plan: he would go north to join him, but would further take over the entire southwestern part of France, then leave half of his troops and bring half of his troops to join him in the French royal city. confluence.

At the same time that Lucifer was arranging the action, the news of his army defeating Charlemagne and heading to the royal city also spread back to the French royal city.

This time, no matter what the voice was before, it turned into surprise.

They don't know exactly what happened, but it is true that Britain defeated Charlemagne and marched to the royal city with an army of more than 20.

After reacting, many people couldn't help but start cursing at Lucifer and even Charlemagne.

"What French military god, what a waste.

Not to mention the defeat, even half of the people in Britain did not fight, how did he command the battlefield, did he directly send his subordinates to be killed."

Robespierre begins to taste aromatic.

"That's right!"

"What marshal! It's just trash."

For a time, such a voice appeared in the hall, and most of the people who said these words were members of the council.

They seem to want to vent their dissatisfaction more than to solve the immediate problem.

"You are not allowed to speak of Marshal Charlemagne."

Ah Fu clenched his sword tightly, his expression a little scary.

"Isn't it worth letting people tell you if you lose!"

"You don't have the right to speak if you lose."

...for a while, the two sides quarreled over this.

In the end, Louis came forward to stop the quarrel between the two sides.

"Do you still have time to quarrel now? Britain is about to hit the king's city! The solution I want to hear now."

Louie yelled at these people.

"Your Majesty, please immediately summon General Ganiron, General Ogier and General Rinaldo to bring their troops back to guard the royal city together.

We haven't lost yet, as long as this royal city is still there, your Majesty is still here, we haven't lost."

Robespierre immediately expressed his opinion.

Ganilon had [-] regulars and [-] recruits to defend Rome in the north, Rinaldo and Ogier had [-] regulars to the east, plus [-] guards and [-] recruits in the royal city.

When added together, it's a decent number.

"It's too late!"

Bismarck spoke calmly about his predicament.

If they could still try this decision on the day of the first decisive battle, the problem was that they did not receive the news of the defeat until Lucifer was in progress.
