The Knight King of the Otherworldly Moon

"That's right, King. Next, let these French irons see what a real knight is." The knight named Kai stood up and echoed.He was an up-and-coming knight in this battle, known for his strength.

"I have seen everyone's fighting spirit. But that's all for now. The victory is already in our hands, and we don't need to waste the lives of our compatriots." Lucifer did not agree to their request to fight.

"Wang mean to wait until they have no food to surrender automatically?" Lancelot also thought of a possibility at this time.

"This is just one of the points. The current acting marshal of the opponent is Flores Matt. Since he can continue to organize defenses with deserters even when Pepin has been arrested, it is enough to prove that he is a talent. If he launches an attack now , can definitely defeat them. However, the soldiers on the opposite side who have been driven to a desperate situation are likely to have the idea of ​​dying with us because they have no way to retreat." Lucifer continued to talk about a possibility.

If the other party was that kind of weak bones, they would probably have surrendered with those people before.But these people did not, except for some of the injured people, more people did not want to surrender.

Whether it is for the glory of the so-called knight, or for the country.They all probably want to drag a guy into the water before he dies, just like the marshal before him.In a sense, they have no way out, which is also an advantage.

This situation is really a bit like Han Xin's Backwater Private.But, can you have Han Xin's talent?

"We will be afraid of them!" Kai said a little unconvinced.

Looking at the knights in front of him, Lucifer couldn't help but smile.They are all knights, and it is difficult to get them to turn the corner now.However, Lucifer didn't mind either.

"As I said, I don't want to waste the lives of soldiers because of this kind of thing. Besides, fellow knights. You are all outstanding talents in the kingdom, and I hope you will take a longer-term view in the future, rather than just staring at the area in front of you. Only by focusing on the overall situation can you be qualified to become a real commander of the army.”

The situation has developed to the present, and half of the strategy set before has been realized.The process was easier than expected, and what Lucifer needed to prepare now was the second half.

"I will definitely not live up to the king's expectations." The knights swore to Lucifer at the same time.

After coming back to their senses, they quietly thought about the deep meaning of Lucifer's words. Lucifer didn't say anything, just let them think.Even Leah thought about it together.So far, the knights here are unaware of the sinister situation on the other sides.

"What does the king mean, other countries?" Tristan said calmly after thinking of something.

"Sir Tristan. Very good, I just finished speaking, and you immediately thought of the crux of the problem. Yes, it is the other countries. Rome to the east and Ross to the north have established borders. France is not the only enemy. If you lose too many troops here, things will be troublesome later."

"However, if the attack is not continued, it may give the French army a chance to regroup."

"There are already more than [-] soldiers in France who surrendered, and we killed close to [-] in the previous pursuit, and at least [-] of the remaining [-] people on the opposite side were injured. In this case, even if the army is reorganized, They can't face our army of [-] people. Besides, they have no supplies now, as long as they keep putting pressure on them not to sneak across the river, they will surrender automatically in a few days." Lucifer said the current situation.

The situation ahead is very good.If the Anglo-French coalition forces of a certain era were blocked in Dunkirk by a certain mustache and could still retreat, it is almost impossible under the current situation.

Not to mention that the Rhine River behind is several hundred meters wide, there are no boats at all here, and they don't even have food.When the two armies were only a few hundred meters apart, they could be spotted with just a little big movement.

Moreover, Lucifer prepared to let the magician say hello from time to time, and at the same time secretly prepared a thunder gun to prevent the appearance of flying dragons.In this case, it is almost impossible to turn around.

"I follow the king's judgment. It's just the king, what should we do next?" Gawain finally understood what Lucifer meant.He now wants to keep doing his part.

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Wait someone?"

"Wait for Bismarck, the prime minister of France, to come over and talk to me about the conditions. You remember, guard the camp, don't force it, and don't let them cross the river. This is your task now."

"As ordered."

After that, Lucifer laid out the overall strategic direction, and let each knight complete the details of the scope of their responsibility before letting them leave.There were only two people left in the tent at the moment, and Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief. *

no.41 adult ceremony (for tickets, flowers)

After the knights left, Lucifer took Arturia and started patrolling the camp and encouraging morale.

After everything was over, Lucifer took her to the hillside where there was no way.The breeze blows through the green grass, bringing a hint of freshness.This place is in the battlefield, but it seems to be outside the battlefield.

Lucifer found a rock and sat down, he motioned Leah to sit beside him with his eyes.Arturia was still a little hesitant. She first looked around to make sure no one saw it before slowly approaching and sitting down, but she still did not dare to sit down.

Lucifer looked at Arturia's hesitant expression and found it very interesting.Maybe it's because the girl has no experience in love, or it may be that the first object is the king she serves, and her mood is quite complicated.

The current Artoria is full of hesitation and timidity unique to a girl, and she does not have the courage to stop the holy swordsman by riding alone before.

For this reason, Lucifer simply helped her.Taking advantage of the girl's hesitation, he grabbed Arturia's hand and pulled her over.

"Hey! King!" As Arturia approached, her expression was a little flustered.

"There's no one else here." Lucifer held her in his arms.

Such a girl finally calmed down a bit, her expression was still a little worried, but she just recited in her heart that she could not resist the king's order, in order to dispel the complicated feelings in her heart.

"But... if you are seen by others, your reputation will definitely be..."

"Surely? What will happen? Is it rumored that the new king used his power to tease his knights in his spare time? Leah, as a knight family, you should know the meaning of exclusive knights better than me, right?" Lucifer He looked at the girl in his arms with a smile.

The exclusive knights in this world are very special. They belong to the kind of knights who will only serve one person in their lives.Generally speaking, it is also called the oath knight. It is with this particularity that if it is of the opposite sex, other people will acquiesce that they have an intimate relationship.

I heard that there was a time when people of the same sex were misunderstood.

"The exclusive knight is the king's... but it's still in the war. I'm worried that others will think that the king will be confused by me and affect the king's reputation."

"You're really thinking about me for everything! Aren't you worried that you will be stigmatized as a gangster because of this?"

"The roots of troubles?"

In order to give the dumb-haired knights around him a popular science, Lucifer told the story in his memory.It was a story of a country perishing because of women.After listening, the girl fell into deep thought.

At this time, Lucifer said.

"The rise and fall of the kingdom may be influenced by one person, but that person is definitely not the woman in the story. No matter how beautiful and exciting the woman is, even like Helen in the Helen Federation, people will not hesitate to wage war for her. But the one who really makes the decision is always the king."

Compared to the so-called disaster, Lucifer felt that it was just an excuse to forcibly throw it in later generations.If it is a woman like Wu Zetian who made the country perish, it may be the responsibility of women, because at that time she was the emperor and ruled the world.But on the contrary, Empress Wu did not destroy the country, but created an era and passed it on to the next generation.

In contrast, those other disasters are more just dumped.

"Doesn't Phil feel like you should put everything on that woman?"

"I just think the people in the story are too incompetent. After choosing the path they want to walk, they can't bear the weight of the road, and in the end they like to shirk the responsibility of being king. If a beautiful woman can make a country , that can only prove the incompetence of the king on the throne himself." Speaking of which, Lucifer remembered a previous incident.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that today is your birthday." Lucifer let go of Knight Princess.seriously asked.

Arturia's expression improved, she stood up and looked north.

"Well, if it wasn't for Wang to mention it, I would almost have forgotten it. After today, I will be sixteen years old. At this time a few years ago, I spent my birthday with my aunt. But now, it is impossible. It's the same as before. Think about it carefully, the days before were really good." Her eyes revealed nostalgia.She prefers peace to war.

Lucifer came to her side. He looked at the side of the petite girl in front of him, and in a trance, he seemed to see a beautiful picture.

"Really. Although I may not be as good as our goddess, and I can't give you a birthday party right now. But I still want to do something for you. For you."

At this moment, Lucifer was holding a holy sword.It was originally supposed to belong to Anseth's weapon, but it became his trophy after being defeated by Lucifer.Originally, Lucifer had also considered whether he should have two hands like 'Dancing King' Sullivan, but after thinking about it, it was okay.

Sullivan's double swords have opposite attributes, but the strength attributes of the two holy swords are too similar, and one is no different from the two.It just so happened that Knight Ji was still short of her holy sword, and Lucifer gave her the sword that should have belonged to her in his memory.

The first time she saw the sword, Arturia's eyes were drawn to the sword.

"This is!"

"The holy sword Excalibur, the sword of the previous holy knight."

Under Arturia's dull gaze, Lucifer put the sword in her hand.

"King, can I really pick up such an important thing?" Arturia's hand trembled as she caught the sword.

"Before you tried desperately to stop Anseth and fought to the last moment of your life, I think you are worthy of the honor of this sword. In other words, no one is more suitable for swinging this sword than you."

"..." Arturia looked at Lucifer for a long time, but finally did not refuse.

She undid the sword from her waist and carefully put the holy sword into the scabbard.At this moment, Arturia suddenly thought of something she had always wondered about. *

no.42 You are my scabbard (Happy New Year to everyone in advance!)

In the past few days, she has been dreaming about the scene of Lucifer dropping a luxurious scabbard from her body in her dreams.

She didn't know if it was just a dream or something that really happened.Taking advantage of her free time, she asked Lucifer this question.Lucifer slowly listened to her words, and was silent for a while still preparing to tell the truth.

"Your dream is not just a dream, but something that actually happened. At that time, the fire of your life was about to go out, and I had no way to cure you, so I put the scabbard from Merlin into your body. According to Merlin, this scabbard has the power to cut off all pain and even transcend time, and the person who has it will become the undefeated king. The only problem may be that your body will be stopped in the present time."

Lucifer's seemingly calm voice gave Arturia an incomparably strong surprise.She now finally understands what happened that day, and the king gave up his scabbard to save her life.She had heard from her aunt about the scabbard, which was said to be a treasure more precious than the holy sword.

Immortal and immortal, cut off from all scars, and have no connection with the disease since then.These are just the most basic power of the scabbard, but it was such a scabbard that Lucifer simply gave up for her.

"..." She was silent for a long time, and then she seemed to wake up suddenly.

"No! Me!" Arturia stretched her hand to her heart excitedly, she had made up her mind that she would never take away such a treasure.

Such a thing should have been a proof that it belonged to the Undefeated King, not something she could touch.

However, it seems that this scene has long been thought of.Lucifer grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Leah, listen to me." Lucifer paused before continuing.

"As for me, I'm not very good at defensive matters. I'm better at attacking than guarding, like a very sharp sword. But a sword that is too sharp may sometimes hurt myself or even the people around me. This kind of The existence of a scabbard is necessary at times. If the sword is a sharp weapon to protect the important people around you by killing, then the scabbard is a Noble Phantasm specially designed to protect the sword.”

The previous battle with Lothar made Lucifer realize that there was still a trace of the abyss on his body.No matter if these breaths were left during the duel with the overlord Vonir or the battle with Manus, the lord of the abyss.But they have unintentionally affected their minds before, which is a fact.

As the last member of the undead team, Lucifer wanted to guarantee his future in advance.And that guarantee is Arturia.

"The scabbard is the guardian sword?"

"Yes, but also to restrict the existence of the sword when the sword is rampant. I want you to become the restrictive scabbard of me, and pull me back when I may become a mad king, or even deviate from the former kingship. This is Something only you can do."

Facing the king's expectations, the girl knight hesitated.

"Such an important thing. I... can't do it. Whether it is force, wisdom or even experience, I am not qualified. In the previous battle, the king could easily defeat Ansais, but I even prevented him from waiting for the king's arrival. I can't do it. I'm like this..."

"If you can't do it, no one can. I believe in the maiden knight named Arturia, and nothing else."

"..."

"Don't underestimate yourself! If you are not competent enough, I can teach you when you go back. But the key is that you must first believe in your own possibilities." Lucifer said calmly to the girl.

Insufficient ability, so self-doubt.Because the ending is bleak, I doubt whether my choice is correct.This is also human nature, but the important thing is not what the result is, but what you think of when you choose at that time.

Arturia looked at Lucifer's eyes seriously, and there was an incomparably serious look in her eyes.At this moment, the girl understood that the king really entrusted this perhaps the only task to her.Like that precious scabbard.

"This is the best gift I've ever received." Arturia put her hands on her heart, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

Yes, at least for the moment.She felt that the scabbard in her heart was a treasure far beyond the holy sword.

"Don't be hurt, or I'll be heartbroken." Lucifer put his hand on the girl's head.

"Ok!"

The dumb hair that emerged from the fingers was swaying wildly at the moment. *
