The Dragon That Devours the World
Chapter 56: Anglo-French 0 Years War
(The last two days have been updated. It really made me tired yesterday and I slept for a long time. Today I will continue to have three changes!)
On the Europa continent, the war has never disappeared. In the end, the empire that once ruled the entire Europe and turned the Mediterranean into the empire's inner lake still fell apart because... the barbarians have arrived.
On the steppes of Eastern Europe, the Hungarian called "Attila" led his tribe to confront the Roman Empire many times, and finally tore off the last veil of the weakened empire. After him, the western part of the Roman Empire Completely collapsed. The Germans in the north used to be mercenaries of the Roman Empire, but now, these northerners who poured into the empire in large numbers have become the chief culprits in the destruction of the empire. They plundered Rome several times and ravaged the original birthplace of the empire.
However, these barbarians who occupied Western Europe still accepted the official posts of the Roman Empire. At least for a long time, Western Europe still belongs to the Empire in name...
Charlemagne, the monarch who inherited his father’s Frankish kingdom, eventually became the emperor of Christianity under the coronation of the Pope of Rome. He once tried to request the Eastern Roman emperor in the East, according to the fact that there was an emperor on each side of the Roman Empire. The custom was crowned as the emperor of Western Rome. For this reason, he was willing to give up conquering the southern part of Italy and stop at Rome.
However, the Eastern Roman emperor only promised his emperor's name, and did not mention a word about the position of the Western Roman emperor, which made the talented and roughly Frank emperor furious.
When Charlemagne was alive, he had the opportunity to form the same empire for all of Europe forever, but before he could complete this matter, he passed away...
When Charlemagne died, his descendants inherited his huge empire together and divided his empire into three parts in the endless battles, the East Franconian Kingdom, the Middle Franconian Kingdom, and the West Franconian Kingdom. This is what happened later. The prototypes of France, Germany, Italy and many small and fragmented countries.
...
The kingdom prospered and declined, and in just a few generations, the descendants of Charlemagne lost the throne. In France, the last descendant of Charlemagne, King Louis V of France, swallowed his last breath, and the Carolingian dynasty, which once ruled all of Europe, was extinct.
In order to fight for the throne, the French nobles finally unanimously decided to make the well-known Paris Count Hugo Capet the King of France, because his strength was weak and could not threaten these powerful princes. There was also a Carolingian royal family in his ancestors. Princess, meets the requirements of royal succession.
Because of his weak strength, almost no one can influence except his own Paris, so that people jokingly called Paris "Island of France" and called the King of France the Count of Ile de France, because the King of France can only stay on this "Island" but nothing. can not do this.
As a result, the humble Count of Paris acted cautiously, walking on thin ice, and dancing among the great princes with long sleeves. The forbearance of several generations of kings was finally exchanged for a day of elation and became the real King of France. But embarrassingly, the Capet dynasty also encountered problems that once plagued the Carolingian dynasty...
Extinct.
In 1328, King Charles IV of Capet of the French royal family died. The old king died. Naturally, he had to choose a new king, but the problem was that Charles IV did not have any male descendants, and the family of Capet died out.
The father of Charles IV, Philip III, had three sons. Charles IV was the youngest, but the two brothers of Charles IV had already died. Philip III had only one daughter besides three sons, and his daughter Isabella was the queen of England and the mother of the current King Edward III of England.
Therefore, as the grandson of Philip III, King Edward III of England declared that he had the right to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of France.
However, the French aristocracy did not like the Englishman, so he chose Charles IV's cousin Philip VI as the king of France. The angry King Edward III was very angry about this. In the end, after several negotiations to no avail, Britain and France began the longest war in the world...
The Hundred Years' War between Britain and France began.
...
February 1419.
The village of Donremi in the Lorraine region, to be fair, this is not a purely French territory, because the Holy Roman Empire also has a claim on this place. The two most powerful empires on the European continent have been used for the sovereignty of the Lorraine region. There have been several wars. In the end, it reluctantly ended with the victory of France, but anyone knew that the Emperor Shenluo would never abandon this area and was always watching it.
But for Jeanna, who was born here, she does not think that she is related to the Emperor Sigismund from Luxembourg, because in the Lorraine region, most people speak French, and the language is the same. Most people in Lorraine consider themselves French rather than Germans.
Jeanne Aker, her father was a small local squire, with more than 50 acres of land. If you go back further, her ancestors even served as tax collectors to the king of France, collecting local taxes, but anyway She was just a little country girl after all.
For a little country girl, going out to play is normal, but... does not mean that it is also time to play.
Behind the hill, a little boy and a little girl were lying on the hill, carefully concealing their shadows. In their sight, they were the English soldiers galloping on the trail.
Those English soldiers with less than a dozen men, wearing leather armor or thick leather armor, and various types of messy iron armor, were talking and marching in small groups.
These are some small troops in England, or they have been dispatched to carry out reconnaissance missions or looting missions, but for these two children, they naturally don’t know so clearly, they only know...
"Thief in England."
The little boy looked at the soldiers with disgust on his face. In his impression, these English people would only keep looting their things every time they came, making him extremely disgusted with these English people.
But the little girl beside her had to be more calm, and said softly to the little boy beside her.
"Bernard, go back to the village and report the news."
She originally came out to play with her playmate, but she didn't want to meet these English soldiers by chance. She knew in her heart that if these English soldiers were to go to the village, she would be robbed of things again.
"how about you?"
The little boy looked at her worriedly.
"I'm staring here, go quickly."
Turning to look at the boy beside her, the little girl said eagerly. There was no more nonsense, the little boy beside him nodded immediately, tiptoed back, and then ran back.
...
However, in the end the little girl looked at the familiar village in front of her, and was burned to ashes by the raging fire in front of her.
Even though the little boy rushed back to the village in front of the Englishmen according to his familiarity with the road and told the news, the farmers still had time to take away important things, and those that could not be taken away were made of wood and dead grass. The house was inevitably burned by a fire before the English left.
It is conceivable that this winter, many people will struggle again...
Looking blankly at the raging fire in front of her, the little girl knelt down and looked at the sky above her head, clasping her hands on her chest, and muttering prayers.
"Lord, when can we end this..."
But she didn't realize that, along with her voice...in the heaven of heaven, a pair of eyes opened.
God lowered his head and looked at the mortal world, thinking already in his heart.
"This time... it will definitely succeed."
...
And in the underwater temple, above the icy throne, the monster that had been sleeping for a hundred years awakened again.
The eyelids lifted, revealing Sen's indifferent erect snake pupils.
"Is it again?"
Looking at his sharp fingertips, a low and calm voice sounded in the temple.
The invisible power spread slowly from the side of the monster. It was strange. Looking at the misty shadow, it clearly made people feel deeply cold and terrified. It made people breathless just by looking at it, but When you unknowingly have a sense of awe and worship in your heart, look at the deep darkness, but inexplicably give people a sense of warmth...
That feeling is as if the heart is filled with something intangible, deep satisfaction and happiness are born, people don't want to violate it at all~www.readwn.com~ just want to obey.
After all, how beautiful it is.
Violent, indifferent, and the existence on the icy throne is just as beautiful as a **** overlooking everything.
In these thousands of years, there have been countless encounters between gods and demons, and traces of their encounters have even been engraved in history, forming numerous legends.
Like the British King Arthur, in this world she was chosen by God and appeared as a woman. She even stepped through Rome all the way and stunned Europe, but after all she died in the sword fence under the impetus of the devil. It's like that Charlemagne or Attila...
Numerous monarchs and heroes have become chess pieces for the confrontation between gods and demons. Human beings are caught in them, constantly changing between light and darkness.
And this time...
"Huh? Saintess? Interesting, just see how you plan to manipulate the fate of this mortal..."
In the ancient temple, the low laughter became louder and louder.
