The King of Knights

Lucifer only rested in the main city for one night, and then continued his journey the next, during which he only had a general look at the situation in the city.

When he hit the road the next day, Count Maria followed. She received an order to send Lucifer to the royal capital, and now leaving Lucifer alone would be a violation of the order.

On the next day’s march, they had already reached the border of the earldom. At night, having not found the town, they chose to camp in the wilderness. The camp near the forest was divided into two parts, one for Maria’s troops and the other for Lucifer’s guards.

The temperature of the air is colder at night than during the day. Most of the knights gathered around the campfire to keep warm, and the knights on the periphery also held their positions on their posts. Inside the camp, Lucifer was followed by a noble lady, and Maria was asking Lucifer about his new policy.

She didn’t know much about many of the reasons in these policies before, but now she finally met Lucifer himself, and naturally wanted him to solve it. Back inside the tent, Lucifer picked up the hot wine on the table and poured two glasses.

He picked them up and handed one of them to Maria. Maria took the cup and took a small sip of her own veil.

“Madame’s thirst for knowledge is truly admirable.” Lucifer said with interest at this time.

“The Knight King has passed the prize. I heard that most of the laws of Britain were made by the knight king, and compared to you, the knight king, I was only a later scholar. ”

“If the time may not be much this time, if you are interested, you may be able to come directly to my royal city next time.” Or go to the Royal Academy for a period of study, I believe you will gain a lot. Lucifer extended an invitation to the lady in front of him.

It may be that the territory is close to Britain, and this beautiful lady is more influenced by herself. In the strange land of Ross, she is an object to woo.

Along the way, Maria’s liking for Lucifer is rising rapidly. Several times in her heart, she would feel worthy of being a knight king, and coupled with Lucifer’s gentle way of serving people, she would always subconsciously compare Lucifer with the people she had seen. Then shook his head.

“Thank you Wang for his generosity. Only, Wang, aren’t you worried that we Ross will threaten you if we learn this? ”

“Quite the opposite, ma’am. If Ross had learned this, I think things would have gone in the direction I expected. After all, as an ally, the stronger you are, the more reassuring you are, isn’t it? ”

Lucifer’s response surprised Maria. On the surface, it seems to be just stupidly believing in the alliance, but there is an absolute confidence hidden in it. If you want an ally, no matter how strong it is, it is impossible to threaten yourself.

Thinking of this, Maria secretly felt ridiculous for the question she had just asked.

“But, the premise is that you are strong enough. As it was, Wang’s strength was moving. If I can solve the trouble in the territory, I will definitely go to the royal city to study as the king wishes. It’s just that when the time comes, I hope that the king will not refuse me, a foreign nobleman. ”

“Always welcome.” Speaking of this, Lucifer shook the wine in his hand, looking at the reflection in the drink, and his expression was a little sighed. After a while, he slowly spoke.

“Speaking of my decree, I actually expected the Thunder to make the same decision. But alas, Ross’s current situation is different from that of Britain. Without huge changes, these policies will at best prevail among enlightened nobles like you. ”

Now Ross has become ossified. Even Britain, which had previously shown itself to be on the verge of secession, rebelled after its own decree was issued, not to mention Rus, whose nobility surpassed Britain.

Once the Lucifer decree was forcibly pushed, the whole country would only fall into civil strife, even more terrible than the civil strife in Britain. When Lucifer pushed the decree, he already understood who his enemies were and who his allies were.

So although the four grand dukes lost a lot because of the reforms, they received more compensation from another aspect. Naturally, they have no reason to object.

The current Rus is not very good at all, plus the aristocracy is solidified. Before reform, those who advocate reform may be played to death. No one dares to be this hero, maybe the Terrible can do it, but his body and identity can no longer support him to do so.

Maria quietly looked at the young king in front of her, her mood was very complicated. She even subconsciously thought that if she could be under Lucifer now, she might be able to have a bigger stage. Thinking of this, she hesitated and said some inside Ross.

“Wang…, please be careful on this journey. As far as I know, only five of the fourteen Grand Dukes greet you, and two are neutral. ”

“Half and half, I’m not surprised. I’m more interested in, are there any people like you? Lucifer looked at Maria and asked softly.

His words had some ambiguous shadows, and Maria’s face behind the veil smiled slightly, and also gave an ambiguous answer.

“Me? Your Majesty, I just don’t know if what you mean by me or my opinion of Your Majesty? ”

“Both.”

“Then there may be only one who meets His Majesty’s expectations, Her Highness Catherine. The whole Ross she may be able to talk to His Majesty. ”

“Don’t forget yourself!”

Just as Lucifer was laughing at the undead in front of him, Ag’s voice came from outside the tent.

“Wang, there is an abnormal situation to report to you.”

“Come in!”

Instructed, Agwen walked in. As before, he ignored Maria next to him with a serious face, and came directly to Lucifer to report.

“The observation posts on the periphery detected a movement in the distance. According to reports, a large number of demon pigs are coming at our army, and the number may exceed a thousand. ”

“Demon pig? I remember that at this time, the activity of the magic pig should not be high. Madam, if I remember correctly, you should have experienced a Warcraft Tide in the period before that. Lucifer said, looking at Maria.

“Yes, Your Majesty the Knight King. At that time, with the cooperation of His Majesty the Thunder Emperor’s killing soldiers, the beast tide was easily suppressed everywhere. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for thousands of demon pigs to gather and impact at this time. Maria nodded.

“Does it seem to be a human factor?”

“They can also be fleeing.”

“If they are fleeing, at the very least, it should be a phantom beast of the level of the dragon species chasing them. But if my outpost doesn’t see that kind of thing, there’s only one possibility. Someone did something in the back. Either way, we now have only one choice. Lucifer ignored too much for the time being, and he gave orders to Agwen.

“Agwen, inform the whole army. Prepare for the attack! Use skating tactics that have been rehearsed before. ”

“Yes.”

“Madam, it seems that you are going to trouble to inform your knight for help.”

“This is what I should do.”
