The knight king of the otherworldly moon

"Are you talking about your future favorite concubine?"

Seeing Lucifer like this, Mira couldn't help sneering.

One of the information she sent just now was particularly interesting.

Because of the previous Hannibal incident, many people in the royal city of Rome who were originally dissatisfied with Nero became more arrogant.

They even openly challenged her authority with Nero's marriage.

Faced with this approach, Nero did not use the weakness of human hearts to make them kill each other like himself.

Nero chose the simplest course of action, she invited all her political enemies to a theater and set it on fire.

It was announced to the public that of course Ronister went mad and burned down the theater.

But those who know a little inside know what's going on.

Although the evidence was also buried together in the fire.

After this incident, Chaozhong's downfall towards her was extreme.

"Nero's current approach is not desperate, no, he should be confident, so he dares to do it.

Well, very her style.

A fire burns the enemy in the opera house."

Lucifer recounts what Nero did.

"I thought you would say it's very my style, we really are a couple."

"Although I've always wanted to do that.

I'm more aware of the consequences of playing this way.

Otherwise, I would have directly tricked all the old nobles into a castle and killed them all.

It seems straightforward to do so, but it doesn’t necessarily work.”

Directly kill all those who oppose it, so that no one will oppose it.

On the surface, this logic seems to be no problem, simple and straightforward.

But the problem is that as a king, you may not be able to find all those who rebel against you.

Some people resisted on the surface, while others resisted secretly.

In this way, killing all the people on the surface will make the people in the dark even more fearful and unite to resist.

Not to mention, other people who didn't resist also felt every now and then that they might be killed.

In this case, it is likely to add more enemies to yourself.

"I find it very effective.

After all, the dead do not resist."

Miradao agreed very much with Nero's approach.

Rather, she had thought of similar ideas before.

And he gave advice on his own, but he didn't adopt it at that time.

"It is true that the dead do not resist, but the living also fear that they may die at any time.

Under the threat of death, the rest will huddle together.

In order to prevent themselves from being the next person to be burned by a fire, they have only one choice."

"There are not many people left at all, and there is even less power left."

"Are you sure, if the children of these people think that you are raising the flag in the name of revenge, the name is revenge, but in fact it is for their own ambitions."

"Well, interesting possibility.

This also proves from the side what I said before, the importance of cutting grass and rooting.

If things really go as you predict, Rome will be in chaos itself."

"It won't last long.

As long as Nero still holds the... trump cards of the Legion Commander, those who resist will only be suppressed one by one.

But... well, aside from Nero, I don't think such a little problem will stumped her."

Speaking of which, Lucifer didn't have much...interest.

If Rome is in civil strife, his next attack will be easy. If Rome is not in civil strife, his side will still not lose.

The only difference is probably the time Nero puts into his arms.

"It's really a small problem, so why didn't you do it in the first place?"

Mira asked back.

"If I had more than a dozen legions plus legion commanders in my hands, I would have dared to play like this.

But I don't, so I can only think of other ways.

Besides, if I do, am I still the king of knights?"

"When did you care about your name?"

Mira seemed not to want to let Lucifer go, and continued to make fun of it.

"I just found out recently that this title is useless after seeing ordinary, but it seems to be pretty good for girls."

"Haha! Your name of the King of Knights will cry."

"If you want to cry, I will cry, and the title will not cry.

Just pay more attention to things in Rome, now is not the time to go to war.

What happened in Macedonia was more interesting than in Rome.

The Three Hundred Spartans, Hot Springs Pass.

interesting!"

With that said, Lucifer shifted the topic to another piece of information.

This information is related to Macedonia.

The Macedonian forces attacked Helen in two directions, and the attack led by Alexander went smoothly, successfully pushing Theseus to the foot of Mount Pherno.

But on the other hand, the fifty thousand army of Seleucus was blocked by the three hundred Spartan warriors of Leonidas using the terrain to stop the hot springs, and could not go further.

Coupled with the previous heavy rain, Alexander's idea of ​​preparing for the reunion of the two armies failed.

Faced with this situation, Alexander had to ask Ptolemy to reinforce Seleucus, but in this way, the originally two-sided, flanking battle turned into a pull-off battle.

Coupled with the reinforcements from various city-states, even the conquering king had to slow down.

no.448 what is the army

Regarding the war far away in Helen, both Lucifer and Mira were always paying attention.

In Mira's opinion, it is best for the two countries to lose both, so that when Britain recovers, it can be smoothly collected.

But unfortunately, judging from Alexander's previous strategy against Rome, this possibility is unlikely.

"You've been to Helen, what's your judgment on the war in front of you?"

Mira looked at Lucifer and asked.

"It's hard to say! Helen's side has just experienced the battle of the gods, and the high-level combat power is incomplete.

At least Odysseus' Gundam: didn't fly out, and others have some problems.

However, even so, in the face of pressure from Macedonia.

It is not impossible for the entire Helen to unite to fight.

but......"

"but"

"Helen would be a powerful force if united, but the problem is with the institution of Helen's country.

They are city-states, which also means there is a possibility of being divided from within.

Once there is an internal problem, it is not difficult for Macedonia to defeat them."

If he were Alexander, the method of attacking Helen was definitely not to attack like this, but to find a way to use their internal contradictions to create opportunities, such as a civil war in the city-state.

However, the King of Conqueror probably doesn't like to use such a labor-saving method, but will face up to the pursuit of high challenges.

This can be seen from his tactics and past.

But it is still a bit difficult to rely on this kind of frontal toughness to defeat Helen.

After all, there are a lot of heroes on Helen's side. According to information, even Jason, who looked funny before, shines as a strategist.

"Is there something wrong with them"

"Yes, and the problem is serious.

Now the coalition forces of various city-states rely on the prestige and support of the king of Athens and the king of Sparta to gather together, but they are more fighting each other.

How can I put it, the heroism of this country is their strength, but at the same time their fatal weakness."

Most of Helen's heroes are centered on individualism.

Such a person cannot be turned into an emotionless tool, and is far less useful on the battlefield than a real army.

Because of their individualism, none of them are convincing, and from time to time they will do something out of the ordinary.

I found this out when I watched the Olympics before.

As long as they fight themselves in the name of heroes, it doesn't take much effort to capture Helen.

Just like now, Alexander is not completely out of chances.

If he can kill the two kings Theseus and Leonidas, the resistance to the attack will be cut in half.

"It's not easy to be a hero on the battlefield.

That's it, I understand.

Since you say that, does it mean that Helen is not troublesome in your eyes."

"You can think so.

In my opinion, as a country, Macedonia is much more troublesome than Helen."

"If that's the case, why did you agree to keep the Church State in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to wipe it out in one fell swoop?

If the church was wiped out then, we wouldn't have to be so uncomfortable now.

Before marching into Macedonia, the church must be resolved first.

In other words, you won't be able to achieve the surprise attack that you are good at until the church disappears."

This is where Mila is confused.

At that time, Lucifer definitely had a chance to catch up with the retreating troops of the church, but he did not do that.

Instead, they finally reached an agreement with Macedonia to allow a church state to emerge.

Although this small country is pitifully weak.

But with this buffer, Macedonia would not be caught off guard by the surprise attack, which conflicted with Lucifer's tactics.

"Mila, sometimes things don't go your way."

In response, Lucifer said with a slight smile.

"No"

"The reason I stayed in the church was not to be a hindrance to me, but to reassure Macedonia.

Like you said, if there is no church state between us and Macedonia, I can surprise Macedonia at any time before they react.

But given the circumstances at the time, they may fidget and join forces with Rome.

But staying in the church state means that I have no intention of entering Macedonia for a short time, so that Macedonia will join forces with Rome."
