The King of Knights

The Dragon Scale Fortress in the south is the last line of defense behind the White Stone Fortress, and if the fortress is also lost, the entire south will lose its barrier against France. Fortunately, although the French legions took advantage of Giorgios’s absence to capture the White Stone Fortress, it seemed that they did not continue to advance for the time being.

After the fierce battle before, the Southern Army is now resting here. The gate behind the fortress is welcoming Lucifer’s reinforcements into the city. The tall walls were filled with crowds, who looked at Lucifer, the new king, with curious eyes. After several days of rapid marching, they arrived two days earlier than expected.

After coming to the fortress, Lucifer did not have much rest, and he had been busy for the past two days.

He first unified the question of command. As supreme commander and appointed Joljos as direct commander-in-chief, he only had to do his own orders and had the power to mobilize large armies. Even the army brought by Lucifer himself could be mobilized.

After arranging everything, Lucifer temporarily asked the others to step down to convey the notice. Before leaving, Joljos glanced at Lucifer meaningfully, and he naturally understood why Lucifer’s decision was.

After the crowd left, Leah looked at Lucifer with some hesitation.

“Master, you just did…”

She’s not a novice. What Lucifer did just now carried a certain danger, because if he wanted to, the current St. George could directly empty Lucifer’s military power, and even take the army from the imperial capital into use.

“Does Leah think I should directly command the whole army, rather than establish a commander-in-chief on top of this?” Lucifer smiled and motioned for Leah to sit beside him.

“Hmm! We believe in the master’s ability and rush from the imperial capital to the front, but the master’s current approach may be of concern to his subordinates. ”

“That’s why I’m the nominal supreme commander-in-chief. It’s not that I can’t understand their concerns, but the problem now is that you believe in my ability and put your lives in my hands, fighting for my country and for glory. At this, Lucifer paused for a moment, his eyes looking at the flag hanging in the hall, which 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. Saint George gives them more security than I do. If I were to bring them directly under my command in the name of the king now, they would think that I was taking away the command of St. George. In case of a wavering in the military heart, it will be out of control. Fortunately, St. George seems to understand my approach, and the next step depends on our cooperation. ”

Now this situation is also a last resort. After all, no matter how you look at yourself, this king is like an airborne leader, and you can’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 the military power.

Rather, that’s the most effective thing to do. It’s a pity that he has only been crowned for a few days, so he wants to let the tens of thousands of soldiers below trust him, unless there is the legendary ‘king hegemony’.

“Was that the case? Forgive me for saying much, but I did not think carefully about the problems caused by the integration of the two armies. Originally, I thought that as long as…” At this time, Leia also understood Lucifer’s painstaking intentions.

It’s not that you don’t want it, it’s just that the situation forces it.

Looking at the hesitant maiden knight, Lucifer’s words were filled with ridicule.

“As long as I show up here, everyone else will naturally obey me? And then a charge, you can defeat the French army? ”

Leah seemed to have noticed her problem, her face became a little red, and she said softly.

“Yes… Target. ”

“Leah also likes to read knight novels.”

“How would you know?” This time it was surprise.

“You just told me yourself.”

Ignoring Leah’s surprised expression for the time being, Lucifer continued.

“If this war could be as much as you look at the stories in those knightly novels, maybe I would be much easier.” But now the fact is that if you want to integrate the whole army, you can only let Duke George do it. My words need to go through 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.” Calm words reveal absolute trust. The maiden knight at this moment believed exactly that.

“Since Leah you said so, even for your trust, I will do a good job. As for now, let’s go out and see! ”

“Yes!”

Artoria followed in Lucifer’s footsteps and left the hall with him.

On the huge white wall, soldiers are holding their positions. From time to time, they still discussed things about the new king, but these discussions consciously chose silence after the white figure that seemed to arrive.

Lucifer took Artoria to the city wall tens of meters high and looked into the distance. Behind the distant mountains, black smoke is gradually spreading, and accidents are happening at the same time.
