(The cold has not been good for some time ago, and now the violent cough can't be stopped, and the cough hurts in the head.) When I asked the doctor, the doctor said that the cerebral blood pressure increased instantly when I coughed, which is rare...... ）

On 23 March 1430, King Charles of France made a decision in which he ordered Jeanne to travel to the south of France to relieve the French territories occupied by the Burgundians. Despite this, the King did not give Jeanne any army, but asked her to recruit soldiers on her own.

In other words, Jeanne, who is nominally the commander of France, has no one to deploy at the moment, so she can only be alone.

"The woman has fallen out of favor. ”

All the French aristocrats whispered that they had realized something.

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

"I will take back the territory of France. ”

Half a year of court aristocratic education has not washed away the vigor of this girl, she is still so lively and stubborn, and she refuses to admit defeat, even if she knows that Charlie no longer trusts herself, she has no intention of admitting defeat.

If there were no soldiers, she recruited them herself, and if there were no officers, she chose them herself. Unlike in the past, even if she was weak, she still had the support of the entire French court, and this time, the girl could only rely entirely on her own strength.

logistics, conscription, transportation, materiel...... All the problems need to be solved by herself, and Rao is like this, and she still has a small team of hundreds of people.

However, for this miracle-winning Orleans girl, hundreds of people are enough, and the Burgundians are far less capable of fighting than the English, relying on these hundreds of people, as long as they are carefully planned, they may not be able to create miracles again.

"For the ...... of France"

Riding at the forefront, holding a flag in her hand, behind her were numerous French warriors who followed 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 read silently.

......

"Chancellor, do you believe in miracles?"

In Reims, King Charles was silent, and suddenly asked a minister beside him. The minister beside him was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Charlie was thinking for a while, and only replied after thinking about it.

"King, this matter ...... I don't know. ”

The old minister, who had always been loyal, just replied honestly.

"I don't know...... ? ”

Charlie, who was sitting on the throne, heard the sound, and after a moment of silence, his eyes were slightly dark, and his expression was gray, as if he hadn't slept well yesterday.

And the minister beside him did not bother him, he knew the balance of dignity and inferiority, and knew when to speak and when to be quiet.

After a long time, a voice sounded slowly.

"Minister, isn't it a miracle that a country girl saved her country?"

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

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

The minister was not a god, and for him, the woman who had God on her lips was a madman, stubborn and self-righteous, claiming to be the messenger of God, sent to save France.

Although many people, including the generals and civilians, did believe in this woman and worshipped her as a saint, the minister still believed that she was nothing more than a fanatic.

"Crazy...... It seems that I and my men are not as good as a madman, and France should have more of them. ”

But King Charles only laughed.

Yes, if Jeanne is really a madman, then the British who can't beat Jeanne, and the French generals who can't beat the British, aren't they even as good as madmen.

The minister was speechless for a moment.

His Holiness fell silent again.

Looking at the depressed King in front of him, the minister had a faint feeling that something was wrong with His Majesty the King today, as if he knew what would happen today.

"Chancellor, I've seen a miracle ......"

His Holiness lowered his head and muttered in his mouth, deep confusion deep in his pupils.

"At the moment when the kingdom is in crisis, everyone is powerless to save it, and can only wait for the destruction of the ......"

Close your eyes, and memories of the past come back one by one.

Flames, countless blood, the English who had set fire to the villages after they had plundered them, the English armies that were rampant in the kingdom, the French troops who could only dwell in the castles, the sneering and arrogant envoys of England......

Charlie, who was on the move, was often able to see those pictures when he was a child, and even the French themselves were used to it. And it all started with that war......

Battle of Aginku.

In 1415, when Charles was twelve years old, in Ajinco, the English and French armies were preparing to fight to the death, and the French sent most of the nobles in the country, totaling more than 12,000 heavy cavalry, more than 17,000 light cavalry, more than 8,000 crossbowmen, and 60,000 soldiers of all kinds, while the English only had 20,000.

It was the battle of France, the battle that decided the outcome of the entire Hundred Years' War, and everyone thought that France could win, but ......

At that time, the heavy rain continued, and the heavy cavalry, as an elite force, was forced to sink into the mud, and the French knights, who could not start the charge, could only move forward with strong equipment. The British army on the opposite side used their huge longbowmen to cover the sky and the sun with a continuous rain of arrows.

The mighty knights lay in the mud, and the heavy armor that was too strong was now a burden, so that they could not even get up, but struggled in the muddy water, and then waited for the British archers who came forward to lift their visors and slit their throats with daggers.

It was the darkest day in France, more than half of the French nobility was captured and killed in the war, and the sudden power vacuum and the loss of a large number of troops forced France to surrender to its opponents and declare complete submission.

That year, Charles was twelve years old, and he was still ignorant and was stripped of his status as crown prince, because according to the agreement, after the death of his father Charles V, the throne of the King of France would be inherited by the King of England.

In Charlie's impression, he only remembered that the adults at that time were in a mess, as if the sky was falling, his mother was not by his side, and his father was regarded as the "mad king", a madman, Charlie, who was still ignorant, saw that scene, dazed and at a loss.

After that, he lived as a "deposed prince" until the death of the King of England and the King of France at the same time, which led to another turn on the throne, and the unwilling French nobles once again praised him as the King of France and wanted to use him to resist the British.

But......

"Can I really be king?"

Charlie had more than once hesitated, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and the biggest doubt in his mind came from his mother, who declared that he was not his father's child......

He prayed to God many times that someone would guide him, and then, in that darkest hour......

The girl is coming.

"You are the only orthodox king. ”

The serious and firm look in his eyes is the most important reason to impress him.

......

"Chancellor, at that moment, when everyone did not believe that there was a turning point, there was a young girl who claimed that he would save France, and in the end he really succeeded, isn't it a miracle?"

The dazed King closed his eyes, did not look at the person beside him, and muttered.

At that time, even he could no longer tell what was the reason for his impulsive choice.

It is like a drowning person, subconsciously grasping the last straw, just like a gambler with red eyes, who does not hesitate to choose to bet and try to turn the tables,...... But perhaps, it was just a little joke for that simple look.

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

He is already very tired, and he doesn't want to bear it anymore, the fate of the royal family that has been passed down from generation to generation might as well be shattered in this little joke, at least ...... In the end, I can make the simple and stubborn girl laugh happily.

It's just a young man in his twenties, just a little banter at the end of his life.

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

When I mistakenly thought that "Orleans was lost", my heart was calm, but after realizing that Orleans was defended, I was happy, but was I a little tired?

Charlie didn't know......

What is a miracle?

A miracle is something that makes the unthinkable, the unimaginable, happen.

Isn't it absurd that a young girl, a seventeen-year-old girl, a girl who would be no more than a high school girl in later life, finally saved her homeland?

However, that girl, who was only seventeen years old, really turned the tide and did something that countless heroes and heroes could not do.

His prayers to God have now come true and miracles have come, but what is he doing?

"Minister, I have seen a miracle, and now I want to destroy her with my own hands...... Why is this happening?"

Deep in the pupils, there was only a deep dazedness.

"For the sake of France...... For the royal ......"

In my ears, the murmuring voice sounded.

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

"Ah...... Ahahahaha......ha

Under the stunned eyes of the minister, the Dharma King suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter was full of sadness, and there was only the wild laughter of demons in his ears.

......

A few days later, a piece of news sent shockwaves across France.

The maiden of Orleans was captured by the Burgundians.
