The Dragon That Devours the World

(The cold I had not recovered some time ago, but now I can’t stop the severe coughing, and my head hurts as soon as I cough. Ask the doctor, the doctor said that the cerebral blood pressure rises immediately after coughing, which is rare...)

On March 23, 1430, French King Charles made a decision. He ordered Jeanne to go to the south of France to rescue the French territories occupied by the Burgundians. Although that was the case, the French king did not give Jeanne any army, but asked her to recruit soldiers on her own.

In other words, Jeanne, who is nominally French commander-in-chief, has no one to dispatch at this moment, only one person.

"That woman has fallen out of favor."

All the French nobles are whispering, they have realized something.

Faced with this situation, after hearing the appointment, Jeanna was silent for a long time, but the stubborn 18-year-old girl rode her white horse, put on her armor, and rushed to Burgundy.

"I will retake French territory."

The six months of court aristocratic education has not been able to wash away the vitality of this young girl. She is still so lively and stubborn that she will not give up. Even if she knows that Charlie no longer trusts herself, she has no plans to give up.

She recruits soldiers without soldiers, and chooses officers without officers. Different from the past, even if she is weak, she still has the support of the entire French court. This time, the girl can only rely on her own strength.

Logistics, conscription, transportation, materials...all the problems need to be solved by her alone, and she still has a small team of hundreds of people.

However, for this Orleans girl who has repeatedly accomplished miracles, hundreds of people are enough. The Burgundians are far less able to fight than the English. With these hundreds of people, as long as they plan carefully, it might not be impossible to create miracles again.

"For France..."

Riding in the forefront, holding a flag in his hand, behind her are many French fighters following her. The girl raised her head to look at the flag, then lowered her head, closed her eyes, pressed her forehead against the cold flagpole, and muttered silently.

...

"Minister, do you believe in miracles?"

In the city of Lance, the French King Charles was silent, and suddenly asked a minister beside him. The minister beside him was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what Charlie was thinking for a while, and then replied after thinking about it.

"Wang, this matter...I don't know."

The old minister who had always been loyal just answered honestly.

"Do not you know."

Charlie sitting on the throne heard the sound, and after a moment of silence, his eyes were black and his expression was gray, as if he didn't sleep well yesterday.

The minister beside him didn't bother him either. He knew how respectable he was and knew when to speak and when to be quiet.

After a long time, a voice sounded slowly.

"Minister, a country girl saved her country. Is this a miracle?"

The old minister frowned slightly, he knew who he was talking about, and then said.

"Your Majesty, that's just a mad woman."

The minister does not practice gods. For him, this woman who talks about God every day is a lunatic, stubborn and self-righteous, claiming that she is the messenger of God and sent to save France.

Although many people, including those generals and civilians, really believed in this woman and enshrined her as a saint, the minister still believed that she was just a madman.

"A madman... It seems that the efforts of my soldiers and I are not as good as a madman, and France should have more such madmen."

But King Charles just sneered.

Yes, if Jeanna is really a lunatic, then the British who can't beat Jeanna and the French generals who can't beat the British are not even lunatics.

The minister was at a loss for words.

Then the king fell silent again.

Looking at the depressed King of the Law in front of him, the minister had a faint feeling that his Majesty the King today is very wrong, as if he knew what was going to happen today.

"Minister, I have seen a miracle..."

The king lowered his head and muttered, his pupils were deeply confused.

"At the moment when the kingdom is in crisis, everyone is unable to save, and can only wait unwillingly for its extinction..."

Closing my eyes, the memories of the past emerged one by one.

Flames, countless blood, it was the Englishmen who set fire to burn the villages after they looted the villages, the English troops who were rampant in the kingdom, the French troops who could only live in the castle, the ridiculous and arrogant English messengers...

Charlie, who was displaced, often saw those scenes when he was young, and even the French were used to them. And all this stems from that battle...

Battle of Ajinku.

In 1415, when Charles was twelve years old, the British and French armies were preparing to fight to the death in Aginco. France dispatched most of the nobles in the country. There were more than 12,000 heavy cavalry, more than 17,000 light cavalry, and more than 8,000. Crossbowmen, there are 60,000 soldiers of various types, while the British are only 20,000.

It was the battle of France, the battle that determined the outcome of the entire Hundred Years' War. Everyone thought that France could win, but...

At that time, the heavy rain was continuous, and the heavy cavalry, as an elite force, was forced to sink into the mud. The French knights who could not launch a charge had no choice but to move forward without powerful equipment. The British army on the opposite side used their huge longbowmen to cover the sky with a continuous rain of arrows.

Those mighty knights fell in the mud, and the heavy armor that was too strong became a burden at the moment, making them unable to even get up, and they could only struggle in the mud, and then waited for the British archers who came forward to lift it off. On his faceplate, cut his throat with a dagger.

It was the darkest day in France. More than half of the nobles in France were captured and killed in this war. The sudden power vacuum and the loss of a large number of troops forced France to surrender to its opponents and declare complete surrender.

That year, when Charles was twelve years old, he was still ignorantly deprived of his status as a crown prince, because according to the agreement, after the death of his father Charles V, the seat of the King of France will be inherited by the King of France.

In Charlie’s impression, he only remembered that the adults were messing around at that time, as if the sky was collapsing, his mother was not by his side, and his father was regarded as the "mad king", a madman, and Charlie who didn't know anything about it. At that scene, I was at a loss but at a loss.

After that, he lived as a "rejected prince" until the death of the King of England and the King of France at the same time led to another turning point in the throne. The unwilling French aristocrats once again praised him as King of France and wanted to use him to resist the British. .

but……

"Can I really be the king?"

Charlie has been hesitating more than once, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and the biggest doubt in his heart comes from his mother, who declared that he is not his father's child...

He had prayed to God many times, praying that someone could guide him, and then, in that darkest moment...

The girl is here.

"You are the only orthodox king."

Serious and firm eyes are the most important reason to move him.

...

"Minister, at that moment, everyone didn't believe that there was a turning point, but there was a young girl who claimed that he would save France and finally succeeded. Isn't this a miracle?"

The bewildered Karmapa closed his eyes, did not look at the people around him, and muttered.

At that time, what he made the impulsive choice, even he himself could not tell.

It's like a drowning person, subconsciously grasping the last straw; like a gambler with a red eye, he didn't hesitate to choose to bet and try to come back,...but maybe, it was purely for that simple look. It’s a little joke.

"Since you believe me, use the fate of the entire kingdom to let you play once."

He was tired and didn't want to bear it anymore. The fate passed down by the royal family from generation to generation should be shattered in this little joke, at least... Finally, he can tease the simple and stubborn girl with a happy smile.

It was just a little joking at the end of his life for a young man in his twenties.

However, who would have expected that the girl actually succeeded.

When I mistakenly thought that "Orleans was down", my heart was calm. On the contrary, after realizing that Orleans was defending, was there a bit of exhaustion in addition to the joyful mood?

Charlie didn't know...

What is a miracle?

A miracle is to make something absurd, inconceivable, and unimaginable happen.

A girl, a seventeen-year-old girl, a girl who was not a female high school student, finally saved her motherland. Isn't this absurd? Even the craziest bard would not dare to write such a story.

However, that girl, but a seventeen-year-old girl, really turned the tide and did things that countless heroes could not do.

The prayer once to God ~www.readwn.com~ has now come true, a miracle has come, but what is he doing?

"Minister, I saw a miracle, but now I am going to destroy her myself...Why is this?"

In the depths of the pupil, there is only a deep daze.

"For France...for the royal family..."

In the ears, the whispered voice sounded.

In a daze, the fate carried on his ancestors seemed to have come back again.

"Ah...ahahahahahaha..."

Under the dumbfounded of the minister, the French king suddenly laughed. The laughter was full of sadness, and only the devil's laughter was in his ears.

...

A few days later, a news made a sensation throughout France.

The maiden of Orleans was captured by the Burgundians.
