The Dragon That Devours the World

However, despite saying that, the theologians would not agree so easily. Before the appointment of Jeanna as the commander-in-chief, many theologians and scholars asked to verify Jeanna’s identity and conducted a series of investigations on Jeanna. ask.

First of all, Yolande, the mother-in-law of the prince's prince, confirmed Jeanne's chastity. She was indeed a pure virgin without personnel. Then, the theologians raised a series of questions about what Jeanne said. For example, when and where did Jeanna hear what kind of voice, there are many traps in the language, as long as Jeanna does not answer correctly, these theologians and priests can define Jeanna as a heresy and witch who believes in witchcraft.

The questioning lasted for three weeks, and finally the theologians thought that there was nothing to ask, so they told Prince Charlie that they thought that since the Holy Spirit asked the country girl to rescue Orleans, why not let her give it a try.

At the same time, Prince Charles was not idle either. He devoted all the assets he could to make the blacksmith build a fitting armor for Joan of Arc and sewed a flag embroidered with Christ and irises. , And re-organized a new force, ready to go to Orleans.

So in early April, with the support of Prince Charles, Jeanna in armor rode on a horse, holding the flag of iris in her hand, and led a force of hundreds of people behind her to leave Chinon...

Yes, there are only seven or eight hundred people. Although there are some well-equipped cavalry and full-armored infantry among them, they can be regarded as an elite unit, but after all, there are only seven or eight hundred men, and the number is pitiful.

However, this is already all the troops that the crown prince can try to piece together. At this moment, he is already exhausted, and his funds are almost exhausted. If it fails this time, he will not even have the ability to return to his own earl of Anjou.

While standing at the top of the city, looking at the fading troops in a complicated way, Charlie returned to the secret room in a daze.

...

In that secret room, nothing actually happened.

The little girl from the country just sincerely told Charlie what she saw and heard, the life of the French people she saw on the way, the resentment of the French people towards the British, and the French people who were looted by the British. , Telling their crying, fear and helplessness...

In the eyes of this little country girl, as long as the prince is willing, the French people are willing to support their king.

However, what really moved Charlie was what this little girl named Jeanna said.

"You are the only orthodox heir to the king of France. Of course, you should inherit France. The king of France should also be a Frenchman. The French do not need an Englishman to be their own king."

As the earnest and sincere voice said, the bright eyes stared at Charlie in front of him.

It was this sentence that really moved Charlie.

When his mother said that he was not the son of the king, although she denied it, in fact, even he himself was already doubting whether he was qualified to inherit France. If he was not the son of the king, then he would not be able to be crowned. Is it also God's will?

However, only the little girl in front of me said so sincerely that he should do it, and only he can be the king of France.

It was those words that completely made Charlie decide to choose to support the little girl in front of him.

But at this moment, standing at the head of the city, watching the troops disappearing away, Charlie suddenly felt a sense of falsehood and absurdity, he couldn't help muttering.

"Bruno, do you think I am crazy? Actually believe that a country girl can save France?"

Next to him, the minister did not say a word, just bowed his head and pretended not to hear.

However, Charlie obviously did not expect the answer from the minister beside him. He was just silent. In any case, he can only believe that the little girl from the country can perform miracles at this moment.

...

The same doubts exist in the hearts of the generals who are marching at this moment.

Bertrand de Prange, the noble general from the Loire, was full of doubts about Jeanne. He didn't believe in religion very much, and he thought that the appointment of a country girl as commander-in-chief was extremely absurd.

"It's ridiculous, what does a country girl know."

He sneered at the prophecy of the so-called "Saint of Lorraine", but the order from the crown prince was not something he could resist, and he could only barely obey the order. However, the confusion in his heart never disappeared.

Riding on the horse, he couldn't help but look at the country girl who was riding on the horse and holding a banner. With blond hair and bright eyes, a girl who is only seventeen years old, her face is full of youthful vitality, and there is still a bit of innocence between her eyebrows.

The aristocratic girls of her age, either prepared to marry or already married, stayed in their boudoirs at ease from beginning to end, not to mention going to the battlefield, even if they saw sharp weapons, they would be frightened and fainted.

But she is the only one, this incredible country girl, who dared to lead more than 700 soldiers with perseverance on the battlefield? ? ?

Absurd! Are we going to the battlefield, or are we playing house wine?

The sense of absurdity in Bertrand's heart became stronger and stronger. This kind of scene was really unheard of. Don't say it is now, even in the fables and stories of ancient ancestors, such scenes have never appeared before, and only in some pagan books.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rushed forward and tried to ask Jeanna who was in front of him, but when he was about to speak, he realized that he didn't know how to call the country girl in front of him.

Talk about the country girl directly? In any case, at least now in name this woman is still his leader, but the commander-in-chief? This is even more unbearable for him, calling a woman the commander-in-chief is simply an unimaginable insult to him.

After hesitating, he still said.

"Virgin of Lorraine, how do you plan to... lead us to victory."

When talking about the leader, the noble general could not help but pause, but after all he said it against his will, but the young girl in front of him did not realize this. She was too young and simple in mind, and did not expect that. many.

And looking at the humble noble general in front of her (at least she thinks so), the girl immediately said piously.

"As long as we reach Orleans, God will naturally give us victory."

Listening to these words, Bertrand’s sense of absurdity grew stronger~www.readwn.com~ Will he win when he arrives in Orleans?

Do you think that the British are a group of good babies. As long as you scold them, they will cry and confess to God in front of you, and then surrender actively?

For a while, Bertrand was blushed abruptly, and he didn't know how to refute it.

But looking at the serious face and bright eyes in front of him, Bertrand realized in amazement...

The woman in front of her was not joking with herself, she really believed that as long as she walked to Orleans, God would give her victory.

There was a moment of silence, Bertrand pulled his horse away without saying a word, and then whispered to another familiar general next to him.

"I suddenly have the urge to switch to the King of England..."

And the girl next to him still didn't realize it. Before she knew it, her generals had already experienced a subtle morale decline...
