Having rejected Colonel James' offer, the Knight of Alexandria looked up at the port of Le Havre, whose outline was becoming clearer.

The knight pointed his telescope to his left eye and looked at the vast expanse of the sea and the docks where many merchant ships were moored.

However, it was to his disbelief that the port of Le Havre was suddenly much quieter, and that there were only a few ships on the surface of the sea, which was completely unreasonable.

"Isn't it said that the port of Le Havre is one of the most prosperous ports in France? How can it be so quiet today! ”

In the knight's heart, a trace of temptation couldn't help but appear, Junxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his whole face inexplicably showed a look of pity in his heart, and the heartbeat of Major James on the side was repeated.

The arrival of hundreds of warships made the port of Le Havre vigilant, and the sound of vigilant gongs and drums sounded everywhere in the port docks.

The merchants, laborers, and various vendors left the dock one by one in fear, and walked quickly and quickly towards a safe place to save their lives.

The army of the port came to the wall in a hurry and panic, the artillery was in position and began to aim, and the other soldiers stood at the head of the wall, waiting for orders.

If you look closely, you will find that the soldiers in these ports did not wear the clothes of the French army, but looked like militiamen, and their clothes were all kinds of fancy and strange.

The weapons in their hands were relatively uniform, spears, arquebuses, bows and arrows, but judging from their trembling legs, these people were inexperienced.

"My lord, please see, there is a large wave of warships ahead, the momentum is violent, and Le Havre is in danger!"

On the side, a pot-bellied man pointed to the British fleet in front of him, opened his mouth in surprise, and said worriedly.

"Hahaha!" Standing in the center with a monocular, Marini touched his messy beard and laughed loudly.

"Don't worry, it's the English who are here, the Protestant army is here to help us deal with those Catholics!"

When he saw the flag fluttering on the ship in the telescope, Marini's heart was slowly lowered.

As the aide-de-camp of Prince Condé, he certainly knew something that no one knew.

For example, in order to borrow troops from the English, the Huguenot Triumvirate did not hesitate to sell Normandy to the English, of course, if the Catholic League failed.

Therefore, these days he has been suppressing the Catholics in the city, while making a lot of money.

The property of Catholic merchants and civilians was confiscated, and the town hall was required to make a special appropriation for the maintenance of the Protestant army.

As soon as the English came, the situation in France as a whole would certainly change dramatically.

"This is the fleet of the English, it is our reinforcements, send someone to deliver the message, don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"

Marini hurriedly commanded the pot-bellied mayor on the side.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Although he is the mayor, his status is still inferior to the actual control of the port of Le Havre.

Then, in a joyous atmosphere, the knight of Alexandre and a group of army soldiers landed on French territory and came to the port of Le Havre.

"Hello, Mr. Knight, welcome to Le Havre!"

"Hello, Your Excellency!" Knight Alexander replied with some stiffness.

Subsequently, on behalf of the forces in their rear, the two had a friendly and cordial consultation with the opinions of their own bigwigs, and the two reached the following agreement:

First, the English army could not burn, kill, plunder, and maintain order in the Normandy area.

Second, the French side provided 50,000 pounds sterling as an upfront reward, which would depend on the outcome of the battle.

Thirdly, the British could only reasonably occupy Normandy after they had expelled all the Catholic Confederate troops.

Fourth, after the Battle of Normandy was over, the British army could cooperate with the Protestant army to attack the Catholic League under reasonable circumstances.

Fifth, Le Havre had to be occupied by the British, as the rear of the army, and as a retreat.

…………

The agreement set out a series of conditions, both for Protestantism and England, but none of them were a problem compared to the occupation of Normandy.

The day after the agreement was signed, the Knight Alexander, who had rested for a day, began to divide his army into three regiments (about 2,600 men each) and began to attack the cities that were still part of the Catholic League.

In the month of April, the phrase is popular throughout Normandy: the king of England is back!

Many of the Catholic aristocrats scoffed, but the ignorant Protestants were ecstatic, naively believing that the English had come to their aid.

…………

The Brittany region is located on the Brittany Peninsula in northwestern France, between the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay.

The capital is Rennes.

If there is one of the most impressive things about Brittany, the Rose Coast is the only one.

The Pink Coast, between the cities of Brest and Rennes, is located in the north of Brittany and is known as the Rose Coast.

Such a romantic name is not out of imagination, but in this area you can see many rose-red granite scattered along the coast, and the strange-shaped stones form a very special landscape. If you walk on these beautiful rocks and look closely, you will find that these stones do not show a romantic rose color when exposed to sunlight, but the stones themselves have a faint pink color and a little bit of light.

As mentioned earlier, Brittany was a Celtic settler and spoke customs and languages that were very different from the rest of France.

Therefore, most of the Duke of Edinburgh's troops were Scots, which effectively diluted the face of the conquerors and made it easier to capture Brittany.

The port of Brest is the largest port in Brittany, and merchants basically shuttle between England and Brittany to buy and sell.

So, instead of French, the whole city is spoken in Celtic and similar English.

It was just dawn, and the guards got up early in the morning, yawning helplessly, while opening their sleepy and hazy eyes, and began the day's work.

At this time, at the gate of the city, it was a little different from usual, but suddenly there were more people, and the queue to enter the city became stronger and stronger.

A city defender looked at the team below who took turns to pay money into the city, his heart was full of curiosity, and he said to his friend beside him:

"Why are there so many people traveling lately?"

However, the partner on the side looked at the little soldier who asked the question, and said in an envious tone:

"Recently, there has been a war in France, and the price of everything has risen, and many businessmen have gone to England to buy goods and transferred to France to sell, which is really profitable!"

Although decades after joining France, the majority of Bretons still regard France as a foreign country.
