Best Answer

The phrase "king of battle" has two meanings that I'm aware of. The first is that Artillery has historically accounted for more enemy deaths than any other military occupational specialty. The second alludes to Chess pieces. The king is a very powerful piece but is limited in it's mobility while the queen (Infantry is known as the queen of battle) is highly mobile and powerful.
