That's when Randy realized that he had lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot.

How could such a well-behaved girl as Joan of Arc accompany herself to do those deviant things!

"Damn, if that's the case, I don't have a choice for the shame play I thought I had before?" Randy put his hand on his forehead, unwilling to think.

"That's not true, is it? You must be lying to me, aren't you? In a final struggle, Randy stepped forward and took Joan of Arc's hands.

I look at you so sincerely, how can you not feel my heart?

But it's a pity that you can't feel it, you just can't feel it.

Joan of Arc shook her head, hesitated, and said, "I'm very sorry, Your Majesty, but ......"

"But?"

Randy's brain spun at high speed in this second, but the word means a turning point, which can also be understood as a half-push, half-push, a refusal, a cute girl like a mimosa playing with a lover, and in an instant Randy recovers from a depressed state.

"I knew you wouldn't abandon me, would you?" Randy excitedly took Joan of Arc's hand and shook it from side to side, and Joan of Arc shyly lowered her head and nodded slightly.

"Although God is supreme in my heart, Your Majesty, you also occupy a very important place in my heart, and this is the boundary between faith and worldliness." Joan of Arc sighed softly, making Randy feel as if he had gone to heaven.

"Then set it for tonight! I want you to give me a healthy child. ”

"I'm afraid not!" Joan of Arc shook her head.

"Why?" Randy is weird.

"Because I have said before, I am a nun, so I have to be chaste."

“………………”

The book went around in a circle and returned to the original point.

"But you've already said that, that, that, that......" Randy felt messy, and the hands holding Joan of Arc were rapidly losing their temperature and becoming cold.

"Is there a conflict between love and chastity?" Joan of Arc looked at Randy strangely.

"Isn't there a conflict?" Randy looked at Joan of Arc strangely as well.

"Do you like me just to have children?" Joan of Arc gets a little angry and also stands up to question Randy.

Randy naturally couldn't answer like this, otherwise what was waiting for him would definitely be a resounding slap from Joan of Arc, but Randy didn't know what to say, after all, spiritual love is a very high-level living sin, and Randy had only heard of it before.

"Alright, Randy......"

Joan of Arc paused, feeling a little overwhelmed by Randy's appearance.

"Please don't do that!" She hugged Randy awkwardly, calling him by his first name as Randy had done before.

"I like you, very, very much, and I really hope you can be happy. You are a powerful king, and there are countless girls in this world who are better than me, and I will be satisfied with all I have to do to pray for you. ”

"I don't want that! No one girl's family has anything to do with me, I just want you alone, Joan of Arc, my Joan of Arc, you can't be so ruthless to me, please save my soul, otherwise I will be restless for the rest of my life, and I will definitely go to hell after death. ”

Randy said as he hugged Joan of Arc and kissed her lips as her hands wandered to untie Joan of Arc's clothes.

"Please don't do that!"

But Randy overlooked one point, Joan of Arc is a warrior of the same level as Artoria, and Randy is just a crappy ordinary warrior who chooses to specialize in tomahawks, but holds a single-edged knife, the two are not at the same level at all, and Joan of Arc just punches Randy down.

"I'm so sorry!" Joan of Arc hurriedly ran over and crouched down and helped Randy up.

"No, it's okay, it's just that I drank too much today, so it's good to take a break." Randy deliberately pretended to be fine.

Jeanne d'Arc didn't listen to it at all.

If you push it strongly, Randy can't beat them at all.

The end of the night was Joan of Arc helping Randy to lie on the bed and reading Randy's Bible all night, making Randy's head several times bigger.

Looking at the sleeping Randy, Joan of Arc was speechless for a long time, and finally leaned down and kissed Randy on the forehead, although it was only such a small action. But it still made Joan of Arc's face flush shyly.

"Lord, forgive me for my sins." Joan of Arc prayed as she fled out of Randy's room.

The next morning, Randy wakes up to find Joan of Arc gone, and he can't help but feel a little lost.

The story of the King and the Holy Maiden has come to an end, and Randy has more important things to do.

First of all, because of the artificial miracle of that heavy snowfall, Randy obtained a good attribute.

The Miracle Forger

Your brilliant performance was a huge success, and the whole continent was talking about the miracles that were triggered.

Piety +1, Piety -5, Prestige +3, Morale +1, Loyalty +1, Shamelessness +5,

Randy really didn't expect that this miracle would allow him to obtain such a powerful attribute!

At this point, Randy's watch involvement has reached 13 points, and his piety has reached -15 points, which can be called the most inconsistent person in the world, and it also allows Randy to gain an additional attribute.

"Born Actor"

The world is the stage, and the crown is all the people.

Shameless has +1 for caste, +5% for popular support.

It is worth noting that the absence of this attribute has reached 12 points, but Aurora claims that this attribute is completely meaningless, even if it is out of the table, it doesn't matter, so Randy doesn't pay too much attention to this thing at all.

In short, a powerful nation, an iron-blooded king!

Randy sometimes affirms himself that I'm so good that it's no wonder the Holy See is begging me to save them.

For the rest of the day, the snow began to lighten, and Randy sent an envoy to France, hoping to gain military access to France and go south to the aid of Rome.

In response to this matter, there was a discussion within the French court.

Originally, Philip II didn't want to let the tens of thousands of Norman troops, through their own territory, France is now affected by heavy snow, there are many refugees, and France is also not like the Norman kingdom, has a perfect agricultural system, granary reserves in various cities, this heavy snow, countless refugees, since the situation is declining rapidly, if you let a group of Normans in, it is not as simple as making matters worse, if France will perish because of this!

But it doesn't seem good not to let the Normans in, after all, people are going to rescue Rome, Randy has even brazenly begun to claim to be a Crusader general, refusing to allow Normans to enter is against the Crusaders, and opposing the Crusaders is heresy, and heretics must be excommunicated by the Holy See, and then France will become the target of public criticism, and no one will mind cutting off a piece of meat from France, then France will also be finished.

Neither advance nor retreat!

Philip II hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision,

The Normans could enter France under the guise of the Crusaders, but the French did not provide the Normans with food and grass, but only borrowed the road.

Randy didn't think about it, so he decided to say yes first, and when he got to the place, it was up to France to decide what to do.

The Norman kingdom was thus granted incomplete military access to the Kingdom of France!

At the same time, France's negotiations with Genoa were bogged down.

Although Andrew Doria, Governor of Genoa and Commander of the Navy, knew the truth and devoted most of his energy to aiding the Pope against the invasion of Eastern Rome, this did not mean that the Genoese were willing to simply spit out the fat that had been eaten in their mouths.

Similarly, the inhabitants of Marseille were more identified with the liberal and wealthy city-state system. It was believed that the democratic system of the Genoese aristocracy was much better than the feudal monarchy of France, and that the nobles of Marseille most likely wanted to be incorporated into the Republic of Genoa.

The two sides were tense and about to exchange fire.

In fact, if it were not for the current crisis, the mediation of the Papal States, the inability of Genoa to deal with another war, and the snowstorm in France, another war might have begun at this time.

Today's Catholic nation is troubled by internal and external troubles......

Needless to say, it is natural that the Eastern Roman Empire, which is said to be able to single-handedly take on the whole of Europe.

Internal sorrows, however, are contradictions among the Catholic nations......

There is no need to say much about the contradictions between France and Genoa!

Besides, between the three alliances of Northern Italy, although the Papal States were nominally allies, Venice and Genoa had their own ideas.

Relations between Venice and Genoa were not harmonious, with both seeing each other as important rivals. Whether it's sea, land, military, diplomatic, commercial. Because the two sides are too similar, the focus, strategy, and national policies are the same, or the same sentence, peers are enemies, both sides want to monopolize the trade rights in the Mediterranean, for which the outbreak of naval wars, land battles hundreds, even if the alliance is formed, it is not in harmony with each other, and even always want to pit each other.

The other is the Holy Roman Empire, the most reliant Catholic country in the traditional sense of the Holy See!

In times of peace, the Holy See desperately wanted to weaken the Holy Roman Empire and prevent the unification of the Holy Roman Empire.

In times of war, especially at this time, the first thing that comes to the pope's mind is the Holy Roman Empire!

In fact, the Holy Roman Emperor of Innocent III's heart is Von IV Hoffmann, but the current situation makes him have to make a choice, Von IV's Duchy of Saxony is in the North German region, and it can't go south quickly at all, and if you want to get reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire as quickly as possible, you must rely on the southern German princes, so Innocent III sent a messenger to announce that Frederick, Duke of Swabia, would succeed him as emperor, and hoped that he could come to Rome as soon as possible to be crowned, of course, the army that aided Rome also had to bring, It's just that Innocent III miscalculated......

Frederick the Redbeard was cruel, cunning, and power-hungry, and he was not under Randy, and it was clear how skilled he was when he was able to get the two Electors of Austria and Bohemia to support him in such a short period of time.

Now the civil war in the Holy Roman Empire is at a critical juncture.

Even for such a major event as the division of Poland, Feng IV only sent a few thousand soldiers and horses.

Frederick was similar, eager to break a penny in half and split a soldier into two envoys, as for the threat of the Eastern Roman Empire......

In the face of the olive branch extended by the Holy See to him, Frederick was very calm.

"Now that the weather is so bad, the Alps are covered with snow and the mountains are so hard that I can't climb it. But the Holy See rest assured, when the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, the believers will inevitably lead 200,000 German elites to the south to King Qin, if the Holy See can't wait, you can also come to Swabian as a guest, and promise not to wronged you. ”

Patrick's logic is the same as what Randy had thought of blackmailing the Pope to order the princes of Europe.

Innocent III is not a fool either, so he naturally understands what the other party means.

Frederick's reply almost made the Pope angry, and at the same time, he also knew that the German princes were unreliable, and other Catholic countries were unable to protect themselves, and the only way to get reinforcements was the Norman kingdom.

Soon after Hildebrand returned to Rome, Innocent III summoned his confidant in the hope of receiving some good news from him.

Eventually, when Hildebrand told all about his covenant with the Normans, and took out a parchment scroll in two languages for Innocent III to see, Innocent III breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If this is the case, Rome will be safe, but the Norman king wants too much." ”

It seems that people are like this, life and death do come first, but as long as the safety of life is guaranteed, we must start caring about other things.

Hildebrand looked at Innocent III quietly, without saying a word.

The Pope said earnestly to his henchmen: "Listen, none of these secular kings is reliable, firmly remember this, and can use them, but we must not rely on them, we also need the strength that we can control, not those mercenaries, nor the armies of those feudal kings, but the army that really belongs to us and belongs to God!" ”

Hildebrand nodded vigorously, inwardly agreeing with what the Pope had said.

Indeed, if the Papal States had a strong army of their own, then he didn't have to run to Randy like a grandson.

"When this matter is over, I will reorganize an elite army, and I have decided to leave this matter to you."

"What? Is it down? But I'm only a bishop, and I don't have military talent, ......."

Hilde Brand looked at the Pope in great surprise: "I really ...... this kind of thing"

"No, no, no, talent can be learned, the key is loyalty, training and things like that, you can hire mercenaries or Swiss people to train, but the real commander of this army must be those who serve God."

"My subordinates understand!"

Since the Pope has already said this, if he doesn't agree, he won't give face, Hildebrand nodded seriously, and the Pope waved his hand tiredly.

"Go back and rest!"

"Understood, Holy See!"

"However, although this is the case, it is absolutely not possible to go from Normandy to Italy without two or three months, that is to say, at least two months?" The Pope smiled wryly.

As Normandy enters the end of the year, the snow begins to lighten, the communication pigeons barely fly, and Randy gets two more messages.

The first was about the Scandinavian army, which had crossed the Öresund waterway and would be in Normandy in half a month, and Randy decided to regroup and set off south in five days.

Another piece of news made Randy dismiss this idea, in fact, the content of this news made Randy's mind messy all of a sudden, and he couldn't lift his energy to do anything else.

Although the continent was hit by a blizzard, there were still some people who were not afraid of death and dared to cross the sea in this weather.

These bastards who crossed the English Channel spread the word about Randy and Joan of Arc, and when Artoria heard about it, she forced her way out to sea in a boat, completely ignoring the harsh weather of the blizzard.

When Randy heard the news, he instantly scolded, going to sea in such weather, is this going to death? What should I do if you die?

Randy Tea did not think about eating, did not drink wine, did not drink milk, bathed or washed, quietly accompanied by Joan of Arc, and prayed sincerely in the prayer room for five whole days.

Five days later, the commercial port of the Duchy of Normandy slowly sailed past a large Norman-style merchant ship that looked tattered on the outside, and standing at the bow of the ship was Her Majesty Queen Artoria, who looked very tired and tired at the same time, but her murderous aura was a hundred times worse than tiredness.
