Your Mightiness

In retrospect, August always felt that the time around his birthday seemed like he had stolen it from God.Or it can be said that the gods really have a special preference for him. After foreseeing that he will no longer enjoy a comfortable life for a long time in the future, he deliberately arranged a short indulgence for him in advance. During this period, after he had enjoyed all the good things, a series of violent blows began.

The first news that came was that today, two years after the death of Richard II, the lunatic king of France, Charles VI, finally couldn't hold on anymore.

When Auguste received this letter written by the Black Prince himself, hoping that he could leave for France, Charles VI had actually closed his eyes forever in the king's bedroom in the Palace of Versailles.His queen was by his side at that time, and instead of crying and crying, the queen was more concerned about how to unite her son who had fled far away to make trouble.

This is the drawback of the slow transmission of information. When Auguste and Raphael learned that Charles VI had passed away on the way to France, the former French crown prince Charles had already used Joan of Arc's increasingly loud voice. Fame, spread an "oracle" throughout the country-the saint saw the saints again, they allowed Charles to become the king of France, but there was one condition, that is, Charles must go to the Lord of Lance in the heart of the enemy army. The church is crowned. (Quoted from "A Brief History of England")

Reims Cathedral occupies an absolutely important historical significance in the history of France. It is an important church almost as famous as Notre Dame de Paris. The first king of France was crowned here.

It has to be said that although the former Crown Prince Charles was cowardly and stupid, the think tank around him was still very powerful, and he chose a very good "Oracle" incision.He tried his best to exaggerate his abilities, but he did not forget to stir up conflicts between religious factions.They claimed that this was God's test on the pious Catholic Charles through the mouth of Joan of Arc, and it was also a disapproval of the Protestant British army.

The Black Prince's response to this was to increase the numbers of the army again, and he was cooperating with the army of the Duke of Burgundy to besiege Orléans.

Since the time of Charles VI, the Burgundian faction and the Orleans faction in France have been fighting openly and secretly for the Regency, and it has reached the point of endless death.It was also thanks to their infighting that the Black Prince was able to quickly turn the tables in the previous battle with fewer victories and directly attack Paris.It can be said that the Black Prince and the Duke of Burgundy almost joined forces to carve up France.

After the death of King Richard II, the Queen of Scots repented, and the Black Prince declared war on Scotland.When the black prince took Scotland three times, five times and two times, and knew that it was the former crown prince of France who was manipulating everything, he set foot on the land of France again, ready to vent his nephew's anger, and help his son solve the problem of Joan of Arc by the way. It was resolved, and the one who helped the Black Prince at this time was still his former community of interests—the Duke of Burgundy.

When August heard the familiar place name "Orleans", his forgotten memory for many years finally became clear again.

Orleans not only represents chicken burgers, but also represents the beginning of England's turn from prosperity to decline in the Hundred Years War between Britain and France.

It was during the Battle of Orleans that Joan of Arc really began to shine. She became famous and became a saint in the First World War in Europe. Whenever people talk about her great life, it is this classic that cannot be avoided. battle of relief.She helped the successive defeats of the French army regain victories and completely reversed the situation of the war.

In other words, the Black Prince was fooled.

The Duke of Burgundy, who is still joining hands with the Black Prince, is doomed to betray the alliance someday in the future.

Auguste has every reason to believe that the Duke of Burgundy has had his own thoughts since the Battle of Orleans. Maybe he has not completely betrayed him at this time, but he obviously became less peaceful after the death of Charles VI. separated.The Duke of Burgundy also wanted to be king of France, at least independent of France.He needs to fight the black prince, make the black prince realize his importance, and even grasp something so that he can negotiate terms with the black prince.

"I don't have any compliments on his character." A person who would sell his own country without hesitation in order to fight for power, and finally captured Joan of Arc and sold her directly to England. What did he do? Can't do it?It's an addiction to betrayal!

August made a decision immediately: "Let's divert to Orleans!"

"No, let's go to Reims!" Raphael agreed to divert, but he didn't go to Orleans, but to Champagne-Ardennes, the most important region in northeastern France. The site of the church.

"What did you say?" August almost thought he had an auditory hallucination.

"Joan of Arc was born in Champagne - a small village at the junction of the Ardennes and Lorraine regions. She was able to miraculously pass through the entire Burgundy enemy territory without being discovered, and went smoothly to Chinon in the Central Region. Chateau, see the former Crown Prince Charles. Do you understand what this means? Either the Duke of Burgundy really has a problem, or Joan of Arc knows some small roads that ordinary people don’t know, which can help them safely and quickly get from the two Shuttle back and forth between the regions..." Raphael tried very hard to analyze August.

Once Charles is actually crowned in Reims Cathedral, even if Joan's oracle is not true, it will become true.At that time, the morale of the French army will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes and reach an unprecedented peak.

"Our only way to crack it is for you to complete the coronation in Reims Cathedral before Shire!"

The advantage of August and others is that the area where Reims Cathedral is located is controlled by the British army and August's supporters in France. The speed drove straight in, and arrived there before Charles and Joan of Arc.

Whoever completes the coronation first will win more than half of the victory.

"We can even use the advantage of arriving in Reims one step ahead of time to make other contributions to the latecomers." Raphael's mind always turns very fast.

"I don't understand what effect my coronation can have on my dad's possibility of encountering a trap!" August still said the same thing, his ambition will never be more important than his affection for his family.

"There's no reason, let's go to Lance." Raphael was like a tyrant at this moment.

"I'm going to Orleans!" August also refused to budge.After being in power for so many years, August has undergone a radical change. At least he is no longer the short-legged duke who would be frightened just by hearing Raphael's name.

They almost got into a real fight over it in the carriage.

But soon, they didn't need to argue about this matter anymore, because Joan of Arc had already broken the siege of Orleans as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

In August's mind, he couldn't help but recall the world-famous painting he saw in his middle school art textbook. Joan of Arc was wearing light knight armor, holding a sword in one hand, and embroidered "Jesus Mary" in the other hand. The flag with the golden thread started the general attack on the British army in Orleans.

Just like the Black Prince at that time, Joan of Arc, who disguised herself as a man, also created an almost impossible victory with less to win more, like a living legend.

——The myth of the invincible Black Prince is finally shattered.

It was shattered at the hands of a shepherdess who was underage.Apart from this being God's will, what else can explain all this?

The news was like a spark, and it spread throughout the streets of France overnight.

August never thought that his father would be defeated so quickly. It is said that the army was already defeated and could only retreat steadily.Almost every once in a while, August, who was sleepless all night, could hear the news that some fortress fell and was captured by Joan of Arc.

"Calm down, we still have a huge advantage." Raphael could still laugh at this time, looking so calm, elegant and calm, which greatly calmed the impetuousness and anxiety of the marching team.He is a natural politician, even if he is at a disadvantage, he can probably show that he is sure of victory, not to mention that they are indeed still in the upper hand, and the victory in Orleans will not change anything from the overall situation.

"But the most important thing is morale!" France, who had already been beaten to the point of losing his temper and felt that he would definitely not win, was once again aroused to unprecedented morale by such a victory.

"That's right, boost their own morale and hurt our morale. They have completed half of it, do you want to help them realize the other half?" Raphael said, the reason why England in history in August's mouth is doing well Under the circumstances, they lose everything just because of one defeat. The biggest problem is that they are used to winning and can only play with the wind.What he needs to do is to let the British army realize that they have an advantage even if they lose one game, let alone ten.

August shook his head, he knew that Raphael was right, but he just couldn't control himself, it was his own father who was in danger!August hardly dared to imagine how uncomfortable the Black Prince must be at this moment. He has won for so many years and never lost...

"Who said he never lost?" Raphael didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "William is not a god. He can't win all the time if he is a human being. The battles he has lost are everywhere. The reason why it gives people a feeling that he is invincible , just because in the final ending, he always wins, do you understand what I mean? Think about the Anglo-French war that lasted for more than ten years, if William always wins, how did the battle last for more than ten years ? There is also the matter of Aragorn, all kinds of defeats are too numerous to enumerate. Your father is much stronger than you thought."

What is really strong is never the strength on the outside, but an unyielding heart.

"He will win, and he will prove it to you in his own way, why he is the only one who has become the most victorious general in Europe today. Compared with stubbornly going to Orleans to break William's possible deployment, our most important thing at the moment Shouldn't it be doing what we can?"

"like?"

"It's like going to Lance to be crowned as the throne." Raphael always has the ability to get what he wants.

August finally agreed to Raphael's suggestion, not because he was persuaded by Raphael, but because he thought of the idiom "surround Wei and save Zhao".Regardless of Rafael's obstruction, he arranged for someone to spread the news that he would arrive in Lance as soon as possible, hoping to make the trouble bigger and better.Once the attention of Charles and the others was hit on August, the Black Prince would have a chance to breathe.

For this reason, August paid the price of being almost killed by Raphael, as well as numerous assassinations along the way.This is still in the large area controlled by the British army.

"I feel that our so-called control is a joke." The loopholes are leaking like a sieve.

"I'm sorry." Raphael is also full of self-blame on this point. Even if he has all-hands and eyes, and his heart has seven orifices, there will definitely be big problems in commanding France from a long distance.

"In my heart, you are already very powerful." August kissed Raphael, and they made up again, just so quickly.

The author has something to say: Note 1: Historically, the crazy French king died less than a few months after the British king died, and the text was changed to two years.

Note 2: It is true that Joan of Arc won the Battle of Orleans. Taking this as a turning point, she sang and improved all the way, escorted the Dauphin to Reims for the coronation, and finally reversed the victory.It will definitely be different in the text.
