Chapter 13 Three Side War
The royal city has just entered the night, and the knights who have just gathered are getting ready to go. The next day, they will set off to the front line, they are high-spirited and ready to completely beat the invading French people back to their hometown under the leadership of the new king.
Inside the royal city, Semiramis' private luxury manor has been under martial law, and there are two types of knights' badges guarding this place. At this moment, the four grand dukes and the new king are discussing how to solve the plight of the country. Originally, St. Georgios was going to let Lucifer directly enter the palace, but Lucifer temporarily declined because the situation is too chaotic.
Although there is only a nominal princes left in the royal family, no one knows whether there is a spy there. Discussing secrets in such a place is simply seeking death. In this regard, the dukes also agreed. The Duke of West also used his private estate as a place for consultation.
After a simple opening, Semiramis went directly to the subject. Of the four dukes, Rhongomyniad is the strongest. Boudicca is good at defense. Saint Georgios is good with both offensive and defensive capabilities. She is more good at intelligence and power.
Britain has fought for years, and it has not completely collapsed and some of them still remain. A large part of it is because of the existence of the four of them.
"Now there is a good news and a bad news, King, which one do you want to listen to first?" Semiramis's smile felt more like watching a play.
Lucifer looked at her, always feeling that the so-called good news might not be so good.
"Good news." He said directly.
"Hey! I thought Wang would listen to the bad news first, like most people do. Then, after hearing the good news, the mood will improve."
"There is enough bad news now. Let me relax by listening to the good news first."
"The good news is that the three legions of the Grey Eagle, Nightmare, and Flying Dragon of France temporarily chose to rest after they captured the White Rock Fortress, and did not continue to attack the Dragonscale Fortress. Our last line of defense in the south is still there. The king has choose there, Georgios can also immediately return to Dragonscale to command operations."
"This is good news? Are there any decisive misunderstandings between our perceptions of good news and bad news?"
Lucifer quietly listened to the good news from Semiramis, but he didn't know why, but he always felt that this news had nothing to do with the so-called good news. Judging from the current situation, this is all good news, and it is hard to imagine the bad news.
"Compared with the next news, it is indeed good news."
"Let's talk! My heart is very good, no matter what news I hear." Lucifer waved her to continue.
Even if she said that the Romans had come to the edge of the royal city, Lucifer could accept it.
"Then I'll be straight. There is news from Irish in the frozen ground to the north. The spy has issued a mobilization order. Four animalized legions are being assembled. Once the assembly is completed, this force with a total of more than 100,000 may go south at any time. According to previous intelligence, they are preparing to invade this royal city in one fell swoop."
After Semiramis finished speaking, the expressions of the other three did not change, and they had heard the news before they wanted to come. They were still watching Lucifer's reaction at the same time.
Lucifer felt that although there was pressure, it was not too much.
"How do you feel that we are about to face the risk of fighting on the two fronts. Didn't Rhongomyniad fear this group of barbarians before?" As he said, he looked at the goddess duke beside him.
These days, I have been sitting in rhongomyniad's house. Thanks to a certain maid, Lucifer has listened to a legend about the lion goddess. It is said that before she guards the north, Loth has always been a big problem, but after her, at least there is no need to worry too much about Irish's invasion.
"Their way of fighting is very barbaric. If they don't fight them once for a period of time, they will forget that they have suffered. This has been the case for years." Rhongomyniad calmly stated a fact.
"That's it, it's just a beating in short, right. Is there any more? If it's just like this, with our goddess, the situation is not too bad." Lucifer somewhat understood the current situation in the north.
To put it simply, Irish's invasion made it impossible for Rhongomyniad to appear in the south to help, but at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the problems in the north.
"Then I will continue. To the east, even though Emperor Caligula of the Holy Roman Empire is seriously ill, he still ordered the three legions of the sword emperor Lucius to march west. As for the reason, it seems to be listening. When we arrived south of us, we were defeated by the French, so we were also ready to do it." Semiramis confirmed that Lucifer could bear the bad news, and then broke out a more bad news.
Not only in the north, the Holy Roman Empire in the east and west also has the idea of taking the opportunity to make trouble. The Roman army is much stronger than the barbarians in the north, even though the north has an advantage in numbers.
For a moment, Lucifer somewhat understood why the four dukes were silent, and there was no joy in the coronation of the new king.
Ok! Although I thought this was a mess before, I didn't expect the problem to be more serious than I thought. There are troubles in the south, north, and east. Fortunately, there is the sea to the west, so there won't be anything... um! Not good…
