While Randy is angry, he also has no problem with Joan of Arc!

The beginning of the farce still ends with a farce, although Randy does have an urge to simply kill Joan of Arc, but if you think about it, forget it, the enemy of the people is not so easy to be, and Randy feels that it is better to be a typical king.

Randy orders the opening of the City of Paris......

Joan of Arc had only a dozen under her command, and there were more than 40,000 Normans in Paris, and Randy was not afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to attack the city.

However, Randy is a bit of a villain, Joan of Arc is the perfect embodiment of goodness and justice, and he can't do such a shameless thing anyway.

The Norman diplomat walked slowly out of Paris and asked Joan of Arc what he was doing.

"I'm here to attack Paris!" Joan of Arc's unashamed answer left the diplomat Scykende speechless for a while.

But Sekkende, who was an old diplomat, quickly adjusted his mentality, coughed twice, and then said: "I think you have seen that you do not have any capital to attack Paris at all, and I advise you to restrain yourself a little sharper." ”

But Joan of Arc had no intention of restraining

"With the French army under my command, Paris is in my pocket." Joan of Arc replied.

“………………”

"You should be aware of the reality, Miss Joan of Arc, I don't see any French army behind you, the only thing I see is a group of poor veterans who are exhausted from the war and are still willing to follow you, even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think about these loyal soldiers, they all have families, parents, brothers, wives, children, do you really want to let them die in vain?"

Hearing Sekander's words, Joan of Arc turned away in a daze, looking at the emaciated faces that were dirty from the smoke and sweat, their bony bodies covered with wounds of old and new, large and small, and their longing eyes.

Although Joan of Arc knew that this group of people would follow her, whether it was heaven or hell, as long as she gave the order, they would follow her and charge with her, and she would not regret anything, but Joan of Arc could not do this.

Because that's like Sakkender said...... It's pointless!

Joan of Arc was confused for a moment, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground without realizing it, she looked at the soldiers around her, and then at the walls of Paris, and in a trance she seemed to see the bits and pieces of the past few months.

The dungeons of Aulean, the jailers and prisoners who were listening to her sermons devoutly, were the first to follow her, and after successive battles, only a handful of them survived, but they were the most resilient, and all those who survived were here.

When he decided to go north to fight the Celtic queen against all the people, he was opposed by almost all the French nobles.

In the end, it was Baron Gilles who helped him, but Gilles died in that battle, and after a few months, his grave grass was probably three feet high!

After defeating the Celtic Queen, he was in high spirits, and his prestige, status, glory, and secret slander were all a lot, and he even thought that he could overcome all the difficulties and dangers in this world.

But that's just a delusion!

"After all, it's just a shepherdess......"

After talking to herself, Joan of Arc finally couldn't bear it anymore, and because of the exertion of many days and the great mental stimulation, she vomited blood from her mouth and fell directly from her horse.

"Joan of Arc! They plotted against Joan of Arc! Thinking that Joan of Arc's fainting was the work of the Normans, the French soldiers were in a state of excitement, and the soldiers roared to use their last bit of strength to rush to the gates of Paris.

"What's going on?"

Sekander, who bore the brunt of the attack, was frightened on the spot, and looked at the fierce French who rushed over in a daze, and secretly said in his heart that my life is over!

However, on the walls of Paris, Randy had already prepared, and thousands of arrows were fired above the city, and bows and crossbows and arrows were overwhelming, and all these hundreds of remnants were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Listening to the dying sound of the French, Sekander, who turned back and forth at the Ghost Gate, broke out in a cold sweat, and then rolled his eyes and fainted.

"What's going on?" Seeing that this farce ended like this, Randy was extremely dissatisfied, and walked down from the city with a curse, kicked Sekander a few times, and walked to the unconscious Joan of Arc for a long time.

"Your Majesty, she seems to be still angry!" The Knight of the Guard reminded.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional just now, but none of the archers fired in the direction where Joan of Arc was.

Randy sighed and said, "Grab it first!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The knight of the guard found two stretchers, put Joan of Arc on them, and carried them away.

This marked the end of the Norman-French War, which lasted for several months, and marked the complete collapse of the first alliance against Lohman.

And the final outcome of this war was also satisfactory to the vast majority of people.

The other countries that were originally going to target the Norman kingdom were all relieved to see that Randy had suffered a big defeat and suffered heavy losses, thinking that this scourge could finally stop for a while, and then the civil war should be fought and the trade should be done, in short, the Norman kingdom is safe at least for now.

And this deal between Randy and Philip II, no matter how much Randy wants to repay the debt, but the final result is that Randy abides by the contract, and the next thing is that the two sides fight each other and sign an armistice.

In short, all this has nothing to do with Joan of Arc, and the so-called French Messiah is no longer useful.

Then throw it away!

Aren't all so-called saviors like that? When it's useful, it shows up, and when it's not useful, it obediently quits the stage, and if you continue to stay on the stage, it's annoying.

——————————

From shepherdess to prisoners......

From prisoner to French commander-in-chief......

From the French commander to the prisoner......

Joan of Arc was in prison in Paris, wondering if I would have to go back to herding sheep again.

Of course not!

During this time, although Randy was busy arguing with France and wanted to sign a treaty that was as beneficial to him as possible, so he didn't care about Joan of Arc, but this doesn't mean that Randy forgot about Joan of Arc, in fact, Randy just didn't think about what to do with Joan of Arc, so he didn't want to face it for the time being.

As previously analyzed, it is absolutely impossible to hack Joan of Arc to death.

And it doesn't seem to make any sense now, it will only make the French more disgusted with themselves, although Randy has given up the idea of opening up new territory in France, but this does not mean that Randy will give up his desire for France, so the star of France is also a very important factor.

In this negotiation, Randy intends to pit France!

What was the most crucial factor in the negotiations between France and the Kingdom of Loma?

Paris, naturally!

Paris! The heart of France and the capital, the city must be recovered by the French, no matter what the cost.

But Randy said he didn't want it, and even offered Brittany and half of Normandy in exchange for Île-de-France.

The French people did not do it, and Philip II was willing to pay any price for Paris, the capital of France, even if it once again declared war on the Norman kingdom.

Diplomats from both sides traveled back and forth between Orleans and Paris, sneering and arguing on reason, and neither of them would budge.

But it's all an illusion......

Randy in Paris doesn't care at all, what he really cares about is the war reparations for this battle, if according to public opinion, the winner of this battle is the French, if Randy wants to act to the end, he must give France a certain amount of reparations!

But it's definitely a joke!

This is where Randy feels entangled, not because he lost face because he lost the war and ceded the land reparations, but because losing the war and the reparations would weaken his strength.

Randy is a pragmatist, and that must be remembered.

Randy decided to bargain with the other party, at most a symbolic compensation of 18,000 gold coins, and the biggest weight in Randy's hand is Paris, the capital of France, the most important city in France, why doesn't Randy make good use of it?

Norman and France went back and forth for a month, and finally Randy wrote a letter to Philip II, and if he didn't agree, he would put Joan of Arc back to make trouble, which instantly scared Philip II half to death.

Although his mouth was still shouting: I don't believe it, you let her go and tell the truth about this, but Philip II finally relented.

Speaking of which, Philip II is really afraid of Joan of Arc coming back, the thousands of elites sent to him by Joan of Arc have been controlled by him, and he has found an excuse to kill Lahair, but this does not mean that Philip II can control this powerful army, this is Philip II's biggest capital at present, how can his future royal guard be fingered by others?

Especially during this time, many people in this army made suggestions to Philip II, hoping that Philip II could save Joan of Arc, but Philip II was vague on the surface, but very uncomfortable in his heart, if Joan of Arc was rescued, this army did not know who else to listen to.

End of October......

The Norman Kingdom and the Kingdom of France have finally reached a peace treaty!

Philip II recognized the Norman rule over Normandy and the Celtic rule over Brittany, and the Norman kingdom had to return the French Isle-de-France to Philip II intact, and compensate Philip II with a war indemnity of 5,000 gold coins, and the two kingdoms made a truce for five years.

The two countries must not start a war in any form for any reason for five years.

In addition, the two sides will reopen bilateral trade by removing the punitive tariffs imposed by the other side on business travelers that were added during the war.

In addition to this, there are two ancillary treaties to the contract......

One is about the status of Aquitaine, the Norman Kingdom recognized the Duchy of Aquitaine as a vassal of the Kingdom of France, and at the same time reduced the indemnity owed by the Duchy of Aquitaine again, so that the indemnity that the Duchy of Aquitaine needs to pay is reduced to 3,000 gold coins per month, and it will be paid in five years with interest, which means that the total amount of indemnity that Aquitaine needs to pay is only 180,000, and Edward finally don't eat chaff and drink diluted water.

Second, about the status of Burgundy.

Because the Burgundian was unwilling to aid the Norman kingdom in the previous war, in order to take revenge on the family, Randy did not call Burgundy at all when negotiating with France, but signed a separate contract with France, including this subsidiary treaty, which made the Burgundian very annoyed.

The Norman kingdom did not comment on Burgundy's position, but acknowledged the problem between Burgundy and France, and on the premise that it did not threaten the interests of the Norman kingdom, the Norman kingdom would support whatever France took against Burgundy!

When it comes to Burgundy, Randy has a little trick up his sleeve.

The so-called interests of the Norman kingdom, this is said by Randy, can you find a reason?

Now that France is at war with the Norman kingdom and Burgundy and France are still at war, Randy is happy to see a major French civil war take place.

As the Normans begin to leave France in batches, moving to Normandy and from there returning to Scandinavia by ship, it is at this point that Randy remembers that there is still a Joan of Arc in the dungeon.

It's really hard to do! Speaking of which, the contract with France was also mixed with a secret contract, which was the key point that the French were able to agree to the Normans so quickly.

Philip II and Randy agreed that Joan of Arc would never return to France in this life, and that what Randy wanted to do with it was Randy's personal matter, in short, Jeanne d'Arc could not appear in France again.

This makes it difficult for Randy, who wants Joan of Arc to retire if he can, and Randy is even willing to build a monastery for her to live out her old age, although Joan of Arc is only seventeen years old this year, but Randy doesn't know what Joan of Arc thinks.

So Randy decides to meet up with Joan of Arc if he can convince her to retire.

Prisoners and kings are like the reincarnation of history.

In the prison cell, Joan of Arc and Randy meet. If anything, Joan of Arc was left with special handcuffs and shackles made by absolutely modern metallurgical processes, and was basically immobile.

Other than that, Joan of Arc hasn't suffered much in recent times, in fact, her diet is better than that of the average Viking warrior, with fish, meat, and wine, and it's generous, and I don't know what Artoria would think if she knew about this kind of thing.

With a depressed face, Randy blasts away all the Guard Knights and Jailers with ambiguous expressions, and threatens them not to talk about it.

When they smiled and said, "I understand, really, I will never say it, especially Her Royal Highness." At this point, Randy's depression doubles, and he begins to seriously consider the possibility of killing someone, even though he has done nothing.

After blasting everyone away, Randy opens the door to his cell with the key and walks inside.

Joan of Arc, who was dozing off with nothing to do because she was tied up after hearing the sound, woke up and seemed to want to rub her eyes, but she couldn't do it because her hands were cuffed together.

Randy sat next to Joan of Arc's straw-covered bed, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds, looking at each other's plain eyes, Randy suddenly felt that if it was this girl, shamelessness was not a big deal at all.

"Miss Joan of Arc?"

"King Randy?"

There was another silence, but it was Joan of Arc who spoke first: "I want to know what's going on outside?" ”

"Huh? Why don't you ask me what your fate is? Randy was a little surprised.

"I think that since Your Majesty has come to me, then even if I don't ask about this kind of thing, Your Majesty will tell me."

Randy nodded, thinking to himself that the girl seemed to be a little smarter than Artoria.

"Then I'll tell you about it, it's not a secret anyway."

"Thank you!" Joan of Arc nodded politely.

"First of all, it should be your greatest concern, as you wish, the war is over, France won, I lost, I was busy signing a peace treaty with France some time ago."

Joan of Arc opened her mouth slightly when she heard the news, as if she wanted to refute something, but in the end she couldn't say it.
