The Knight King of the Otherworldly Moon

"Do you want to take a detour?" Leah immediately said a possible plan.

"No, we'll have to wait for Gawain to come back to determine the situation. If the damage is severe, we can't be sure if the bridge is intact. If it's the same as the previous one."

Soon, Gawain returned with the knight.He got off the horse and came to Lucifer, and truthfully explained the situation ahead.

"Wang, the river in front has risen a lot, and the bridge...the bridge has also been washed away."

"Inform the troops to rest in place. Let's go over together. I want to check the situation on the scene myself."

Hearing this, Lucifer immediately ordered Gawain to stay, and he accelerated forward with dozens of knights.

Soon they came to a river, and at the end of the road there was a bridge that had been destroyed.The piers are still only partially submerged in water, but the central part has long since disappeared.

In this situation, it is basically impossible for the army to cross the river. Although the river has calmed down a lot, it will still wash people away.Lucifer picked up a stone and threw it into the water, and found that the depth of the water was far beyond the height of an ordinary person, plus the river surface of dozens of meters, it was impossible to cross the river without a bridge.

The knight followed Lucifer's footsteps to the river, and fell into silence as he watched his shadow reflected on the water.There were no problems in the previous three days, and even their king took into account the heavy rain and took advantage of it, but no one thought that what should have been just a small river blocked their direction.

Lucifer kept calculating the time and feasibility in his mind, and finally his eyes were fixed on the weather and a forest not far away.

"Robin Hood, are there any elves in this small forest?" Lucifer asked the ranger beside him.

Compared with the previous forest, this forest can only be regarded as a small forest, but it does not mean that there are few trees in it.Lucifer calculated the distance to the river surface and found that it was enough to use them to build a bridge.

"This is a barren forest. The magic power in the leylines has long been exhausted. Elves will not live in such a place." Robin Hood looked at the distant woods and said the answer.

The places where elves live are usually accompanied by leylines, and the leylines here have no magic power and naturally there can be no elves.

"That's good."

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course you need materials to build a bridge, don't you? Originally, I was thinking that if there are elves here, I should discuss with them to borrow or buy some trees. After all, it is not moral to disturb the peace of others."

"Ah? You still care about this?" Robin Hood had a new understanding of Lucifer.

In his opinion, as a king, it would be good to take this forest directly.This is what nobles and even kings did before.Although the country is famous for chivalry, very few people actually speak the principles of chivalry.

"Of course, historically, elves have existed in this land for much longer than humans. Besides, since they live in this land, they are my people and part of this country." Lucy Phil expressed his opinion.

"You..., if you really have this idea, I'm very supportive. I've heard the elves not once complain about the impact of humans on their lives. It just so happens that this land currently has no owner, and you can cut it down as you please. "

"No master. The previous master died?"

"It's true that the previous master died. But not in battle, but in a duel. He has no descendants. According to the current laws of Britain, this land will be returned to the royal family."

After Robin Hood finished speaking, Lucifer suddenly felt that his luck was not bad.Of course, even if there is a lord in this land, Lucifer will still chop it down, but he will go through a procedure and give that person some compensation.But since it doesn't, it saves some trouble.

"Oh! That means it's mine now."

Lucifer's current identity is a king, and naturally, this land is also his territory.While the official paperwork may not be on file, at least in name.

It was only at this moment that Robin Hood thought that it was still the same as what he told Lucifer.

"That's true. I just want to remind you that even if the bridge is built right now, it will still take a lot of time. Instead of wasting time and energy building the bridge, it's better to take a detour."

"Under normal circumstances, you're right. But if it's just a one-off bridge, I have a special approach."

"A special way?"

Lucifer did not say what the special method was, but went to a certain purple knight among the many knights.

"Mr. Lancelot, I heard from Tristan that you are good at logging?" Lucifer asked a delicate question.

"Logging? If this is what the king expects." Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that it meant cutting down trees.Although he didn't know what the king wanted to do, he obeyed the order.

"It doesn't need to be too neat, just cut down those trees as fast as possible. Then throw them into the river in rows and fill them up. Can it be done?"

"Yes! But I need more people if I want it as soon as possible."

"No problem. Leah, go and inform Tristan and ask him to bring three hundred more people here. Focus on choosing those who are stronger."

"As ordered!"

Leah went fast and came back fast.After a while, three hundred knights appeared in front of Lucifer, who temporarily handed them over to Commander Lancelot, and then they started a massive tree-cutting movement there.

Although they also have many doubts in their hearts, since it is the king's order, they can only execute it.About an hour later, they took the cut tree trunks and quickly dropped them not far upstream of the river, and the trunks drifted down the river.

Just when they were still wondering why Lucifer didn't build a bridge with these things, but threw away these tree trunks, Lucifer had already come to the river.He pulled out the holy sword from his waist.

"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..."
