"The cold frost from the world of painting, freeze everything." A vortex of frost rolled up on the holy sword held high, and Lucifer aimed it hard at the surface of the river.
A strong ice storm spewed out with a sword, and quickly reached the river in front of him to the other side, and finally froze together with the tree trunks on the ground.In this storm, the crowd was almost unsteady.
After the storm, the bridge of ice like a miracle came out.The river surface was frozen together with the tree trunks, and the huge ice surface with a width of hundreds of meters formed a natural ice bridge.Because of the tree trunk under the ice, it is stronger than ordinary ice surface.The whole looks like a concrete bridge made of ice and trees.
"Okay!" At this moment, Lucifer seemed to have just done a trivial thing.
"This!" Robin Hood had the urge to wipe his eyes to see if he was dazzled.
Using magic to freeze the surface of the river to allow the army to pass through is a practice that few people have thought about before.Compared to Robin Hood's sluggishness, the knights who saw this scene looked at Lucifer with enthusiasm again.
Yes, the person in front of him who made the river freeze with his gestures was their king, the king they were loyal to.Even Leia stayed for a long time without reacting until Lucifer's order appeared.
"Inform everyone immediately to speed up and cross the river!" Lucifer retracted his sword and shouted to the knight behind him.
"As ordered!"
At this moment, all the knights quickly ran to the army behind them, and they couldn't wait to tell their compatriots the miracle they had just seen. *
no.23 Nominal Commander
The Dragonscale Fortress in the south is the last line of defense after the White Rock Fortress. If the fortress is also lost, the entire south will lose its barrier against France.Fortunately, although the French army had previously captured the White Rock Fortress while Joeljos was away, it seemed that it did not move forward for the time being due to internal reasons.
After the fierce fighting before, now the Southern Corps is resting here.The gate behind the fortress was welcoming Lucifer's reinforcements into the city.There was a crowd standing on the tall wall, and they looked at Lucifer, the new king, with curious eyes.After several days of haste marching, they arrived two days earlier than expected.
After arriving at the fortress, Lucifer did not have much rest, and he has been busy for the past two days.
He first unified the issue of command.As the supreme commander-in-chief, he also appointed Georgios as his direct commander-in-chief. He only needs to obey himself and has the power to mobilize the army.Even the army that Lucifer himself brought can be mobilized.
After arranging everything, Lucifer temporarily asked the others to step back to convey the notice.Before leaving, Joeljos gave Lucifer a meaningful look, and he naturally understood why Lucifer's decision was.
After the crowd left, Leah looked at Lucifer hesitantly.
"Master, what you just did..."
She is not a noob either.Lucifer's actions just now carry some kind of danger, because if he wants to, the current St. George can directly use Lucifer's military power, and even take the army from the imperial capital for use.
"Does Leah think that I should directly lead the entire army instead of setting up a commander-in-chief on this basis?" Lucifer smiled and motioned for Leah to sit beside him.
"Well! We believed in the master's ability and rushed to the front line from the imperial capital, but the current behavior of the master may cause his subordinates to be concerned."
"That's why I'm the supreme commander in name. But it's not that I can't understand their worries, but the problem now is that you believe in my ability and put your life in my hands, fighting for the country and the glory." Speaking of this, Lucifer paused for a moment, and his eyes turned to the flag hanging in the hall. It was not the royal flag, but the family crest of St. George.
Looking at Leah's hesitant face again, he continued.
"But the original soldiers here don't know our new king. Compared with me, St. George can give them a sense of security. If they are directly recruited in the name of the king now, they will think that I am depriving St. George. Command power. If the military heart is shaken, it will be out of control. Fortunately, St. George seems to understand my approach, and then it depends on the cooperation between us. "
Now this is the case as a last resort.After all, no matter how you look at yourself, the capital is like an airborne leader, and you won't be convinced until you show your ability.If he is already the king of this country now, there is no problem in directly taking all military power.
Rather, that's the most effective way to do it.It's a pity that he has only been crowned for a few days, so he wants the tens of thousands of soldiers below to trust him, unless there is the legendary 'hegemony'.
"Is it originally like this? Please forgive me for my remarks. I didn't think carefully about the problems brought about by the integration of the two armies. Originally, I thought that only..." At this time, Leia also understood Lucifer's point of view. painstakingly.
It's not that I don't want it, it's just that the situation forces it.
Looking at the hesitant maiden knight, Lucifer's words were teased.
"As long as I appear here, everyone else will take my orders for granted? Then, with a single charge, you can defeat the French army?"
Leah seemed to have discovered her own problem too, her face became a little red, and she said softly.
"Yes."
"Lea also likes to read knight novels."
"How did you know?" This time it was a surprise.
"You just told me yourself."
Ignoring Leah's surprised expression for the time being, Lucifer continued.
"If this war could be like the stories you read in those knightly novels, maybe I'd have a much easier time. But the fact is that if you want to integrate the whole army, it can only be fought by Duke George. My words need to pass Some victories to convince them that I can lead them to victory."
"If you can't do it, maybe no one in this country can do it." The calm words revealed absolute trust.That's what the girl knight at the moment believed.
"Since you have said so, Leah, even for your trust, I will do it well. As for now, let's go out and see!"
"Yes!"
Arturia followed Lucifer's footsteps and left the hall with him.
On the huge white city wall, soldiers are holding their positions.They still discuss things about the new king from time to time, but these discussions consciously chose to remain silent after the white figure who appeared to be coming.
Lucifer took Arturia to the city walls dozens of meters high, looking into the distance.Behind the mountains and forests far away from here, black smoke is gradually spreading, and accidents are happening at the same time. *
no.24 An operation is as fierce as a tiger (begging for tickets, asking for flowers)
The sky was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and the air revealed a hint of rage.Under the city, a group of knights in the distance was running towards the gate of the fortress, and there were hundreds of knights chasing behind them, and the most striking thing was probably the things in the sky behind them.
"Wyvern!" a soldier called out the creature's name.
"The French are attacking! Ring the bell!" Another soldier immediately alerted his compatriots not far away.
Several soldiers standing by the big bell immediately knocked on the alarm, and the bell sounded to the entire fortress, and all the soldiers entered a state of combat readiness for a while.
On the plain thousands of meters away, a dozen or so flying dragons with hundreds of soldiers chased the dozen or so soldiers from Britain in front.The situation is very urgent, but the people on the wall can't see what the pursued looks like.They were British people only by their outlines.
"You, soldier!" Lucifer stopped the nearest young soldier.
"Yes, King!" the soldier saluted.
"Do you know the identity of this person?" Said, Lucifer waved his hand.An ice crystal mirror with the height of a person was formed by his hand, and the appearance of the pursued in the distance was playing.
A white-haired knight was being chased. He looked anxious and was injured in many places.
"General Siegfried! He is General Siegfried! General Siegfried is not dead!" The soldiers shouted out of joy when they saw it.
At this time, St. George also came to the city wall, and he walked to Lucifer and reported.
"King, Siegfried, I am the most outstanding general of my subordinates, and the defender of the White Rock Fortress. When the White Rock Fortress fell, there was news of his death at the same time. We originally thought..."
The wrong transmission of information made Joeljos mistakenly think that Siegfried was dead, and he never thought about searching before.
"It seems that he is not dead. We have to find a way to support them." However, in Lucifer's opinion.There may be something hidden in it, and it may even be that Siegfried's current appearance is the bait deliberately released by the other party.
"I'll send someone out of the city immediately!"
"No, this won't work. Don't you think it's strange. Since Siegfried is so important, why did the other party only send so many people to chase. Hundreds of people are like coming to die."
Although there are two-footed dragons, the opponent's number is too small.Once the people in the fortress support a few thousand people, they will immediately solve the opponent.Siegfried has already run here, and the rational approach should be to retreat and give up the prey, not pursue.unless……
"You mean? It's a trap!"
"Maybe they want to use Siegfried's life to do something? The coach of the other side is very interested. He knows that we can't leave Siegfried alone and will definitely save him. What he needs is..." said Here, Lucifer gestured to his feet.
"It's time for us to open the gates."
"That's right! If I guessed correctly, there should be enemy troops all around. They may have been hidden by magic or something. As soon as we open the gates, they will start attacking immediately. As long as Lay down this city gate and hold it for a while to wait for the arrival of the army." Lucifer calmly analyzed the current situation.
The situation in front of them is very delicate. If they don't go out to save Siegfried, they will definitely kill the seriously injured Siegfried in a fake show.This will undoubtedly shake the army, especially killing him in front of the soldiers of the fortress.This will make people feel that the new king and St. George are incompetent, and they can't even save important generals.
Benefit!With such means, it is no wonder that the White Rock Fortress in Britain can be breached.Is it Lothar?is a good opponent.
"Damn it! This way, we can't open the city gate to rescue Siegfried." St. George's fist hit the wall next to him.
If that's the case, there's no way to save Siegfried at the risk of losing the fort.In this regard, Lucifer has a different view.
"No, the rescue is no problem. But the layout needs to be changed. The city wall of this fortress is originally divided into two layers, right? Now that we know the other party's actions, we can also make corresponding arrangements."
The fortress has been designed with the possibility of the outer city wall falling into consideration, so there is also a city wall inside.Of course, if the outer city is attacked in normal circumstances, the inner city will not be able to support it for long.But if the other party is playing sneak attack... this design is enough to bury them.
Hearing Lucifer's words, Joel Jose's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Lucifer meant.
"I understand, I will immediately transfer the main force here for arrangement."
"Yes! It's better to put the magic crossbow directly at the city gate and surprise them!"
"Yes!"
"The Duke of St. George, the defense of the city wall will be left to you. I will personally verify the military strength of France."
Outside the city walls, the chase continues.Siegfried, who was seriously injured, could not support it for long.
And there is a forest somewhere tens of thousands of meters away from the main entrance of the fortress.This area is shrouded in magic, making it impossible to see the inside, and this is where the French frontline command post, Lothar, is located, surrounded by knights standing guard.
Lothar looks to be in his 40s, with Durandal, the head of the Twelve Holy Swords of France, on his waist.There are two young men beside him, Anses, one of the twelve knights, and the eldest son of the current king Pepin the dwarf, who is also named Pepin.
The dwarf Pepin gave his name to the eldest prince and also handed over the dragon army, which is enough to prove his love for his son.In contrast, the other princes, such as Charlemagne and Louis, did not receive much affection from the king.
Because Pepin was not one of the twelve knights but got one of the twelve holy swords, what Ansace got was not one of the twelve holy swords of France, but a holy sword that the dwarf king found.Its name is Excalibur.
It is said that this sword is a similar weapon built on the model of the British Sword of Kings in the old empire.
"I said, old guy, is it necessary to make this trouble? I deliberately let Siegfried fly away, and I even squatted here for a day ahead of time. I have moss growing on my body. If you want me to tell me, if my flying dragon army is here, I will rush directly. It's better to smash everything in front of you in the past." The arrogant face with short blond hair was Pepin, and his tone was very unkind.
Anseth frowned instinctively, and he said instead of Lothar.
"The marshal just doesn't want to cause too much damage. Besides, I heard that the new king of Britain has been elected and rushed to the Dragonscale Fortress. A strong attack will cause huge damage."
"You shut up, I didn't ask you. I asked him."
"Perhaps you should learn to be polite before asking someone to discuss it. Your Royal Highness!" Lothar sighed and finally spoke.
He always thought that the prince's personality was very problematic.Of course, maybe he still has a bit of a level in fighting, but that's more of an equipment advantage, and it's nothing.The king threw him here for gold too. *
no.25 Want to play tactics?
(Thanks to the book friend's reward for "Why I'm Going".)
Although the current commander of the entire legion is Lothar, Prince Pepin led some nobles to form an independent army. This part of about 2 people is not under the command of Lothar.Lothar was also a little worried that this would become a hidden danger.But he couldn't say anything.
Pepin's expression became impatient.
"Prince, call me prince. I'm the next king. It's you who should be polite, knights." He forcefully corrected the mistakes of the two knights in front of him.
"..." Anseth's expression was a little indignant, but he chose to remain silent.
This is not the first time such unpleasantness has happened to them.But as a general, what is there to say in the face of a prince who may be the next king?
Although he wanted to grab the head of the one in front of him more than once and slammed it against the wall of the fortress over there.But just think about it.
At this time, Lothar stood up strong.
"Before you officially became a king, you were just a prince. His Royal Highness! And I am the head coach here." He was reminding him of his identity as a prince.
As one of the only three marshals in France at present, his status naturally goes without saying.
Seeing Lothar's livid face, the prince's demeanor restrained a little.But the expression was still the same.
"Okay! Then please give me a reason, Knight Marshal... Your Excellency? Originally that Siegfried was supposed to be my prey, but you stole him and now let him go. I need your explanation!"
"I will use his life to open the gate of the fortress. General Renault and the others are already in place. As long as the gate is opened, his cavalry will immediately rush in. At the same time, the prince and your dragon army will cooperate and take down the gate in one fell swoop. Just hold on for a while. In time, our army will be able to successfully capture this dragon slaying fortress." Lothar calmly stated his entire plan.
They not only have cavalry on the ground, but also the air force in the sky. It is not a problem for the ground army to cooperate and win a gate when it opens.
"Cut! You don't even dare to fight head-on, so you are like that. When the opportunity comes, let me know. I'm going to prepare." The prince's expression was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
It was not until a long time after the prince was released that the atmosphere at the scene eased.
"Marshal!" Anseth said first.
"I know what you're trying to say, Anseth. Our prince is a spoiled child. Be more tolerant of this kind of child."
"What else can I do except to tolerate me? Who made him the next king?" At this moment, Anseth's joking words revealed a kind of irony.
"Let's not talk about that little bastard, what do you think of the situation this time? They don't seem to have sent a rescue team. If they don't come after a while, I can only kill Siegfried." Said, Lothar Changed the subject.
Having said that, Anseth also began to look into the distance seriously.He calmly analyzed the current situation.
"Wait a minute, maybe they haven't seen clearly who is running away. It's just not worth them to open the door for an ordinary general. With the current situation, when they see that it is Siegfried, they will definitely send a thousand troops to support. At that time, you can even eat this rescue team."
"That's right. I'm too impatient. Now, the only variable is one person."
"The new king of Britain. In fact, if he came a day later, our plans might have gone better."
Lucifer's early arrival somewhat disrupted their plans.After all, a fortress facing 7 people is a completely different concept from a fortress facing 11 people, especially the nearly [-] knights brought by Lucifer.
