After a few moves, Joan of Arc and Artoria each jumped backwards out of the circle.

"Although I am a little unwilling, let's get here first today!" Joan of Arc said calmly.

"Damn! Sooner or later, I'm going to kill you. Artoria was also unwilling, but there was really no point in fighting any longer, so Artoria turned around and picked a random ownerless war horse and ran towards her own army.

Night gradually enveloped the entire battlefield......

Joan of Arc inspected her army and was surprised to find that the soldiers had a good evaluation of today's battle!

"Barely a victory! Although the cost was very high, if the number of deaths was calculated, our army actually suffered more losses, and at the last moment, the French freefreers seemed to be cut down, and Baron Gilles was killed in battle. ”

"But in the end...... The Normans did flee. ”

"It's barely a draw!"

"Don't think so, to get a draw from that Queen of Horrors is already quite a brilliant record."

"That's right, yes, as long as it's not a defeat, it's a victory!"

The French army is almost full of such statements, and if they say these things, the Normans would have been dragged into the woods and beaten to death by the people next to them, but here are the French.

"Hahaha! Oh, yes! We're still alive, and that's thank goodness. ”

When exactly did the French treat a draw as a victory?

Joan of Arc sighed as she patrolled the barracks! I feel that the current French have been frightened by the Normans.

At the same time, the city of Paris ......

After receiving information, all the defeated French vassal soldiers had fled, about 1/3 of the Bretons had also escaped, and the Normans and Celts were slightly better, but 1/5 had not returned, and it was not known whether they were lost or captured by the enemy.

With such information, Artoria's mood became extremely bad!

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! That damn woman! ”

Amidst this scolding, mixed with the sound of the Sword of the Victory Pact cutting through the sky, all of this proves that Artoria's current mood is very unstable.

"Kill all the families of those French nobles!"

"But the Queen, doing so is likely to cause a backlash from the other party......"

The Knights of the Guard's words were quickly interrupted by Artoria,

"They escaped from the battle, and they didn't come back in the end, they have become like a rebellion, and you don't need to be soft on this kind of thing to deal with traitors, just kill them." Artoria yelled excitedly, gesturing at the Guards knights with her longsword that was as hard as clay.

The Guard Knight looked at the strands of hair dangling in the air, and silently begged Randy for help, but unfortunately, it would take Randy another twenty days or so to arrive, so the Guard Knight could only save himself.

"Understand, Your Majesty, your subordinates will definitely complete the task."

"Don't go yet?"

The knights of the guard were pardoned, and all those who were rolling and crawling ran out.

Artoria suddenly felt so tired and physically and mentally, like a student who needs to show her parents after a bad test, or who has received a notice of a home visit from a teacher, or a student who is going to school tomorrow because the winter vacation is about to end.

In short, this is the state of affairs......

"No matter! If he dares to laugh at me, I will teach him a hard lesson. ”

"Haqiu!"

Randy, who was blowing the sea breeze on the deck, sneezed and muttered to himself, "It's getting cold!" ”

Wrapping his cloak tightly and walking back to the cabin, according to the predetermined matter, his cheap sister should be wearing revealing clothes at this time, and would not leave in his cabin, but the predetermined thing is the predetermined matter, and Randy would not change his orders anyway, because the Caribbean islands are indeed much better than Greenland.

In the twenty days of Randy's absence, Artoria tried to attack several areas outside the city of Paris, but in the end they were all repelled by Joan of Arc with great difficulty, and as time passed, Artoria's command appeared on a large scale, perhaps because of the previous massacre of the families of the French nobles, and the nobles of northern France, who originally wanted to wait and see the situation, also began to openly oppose Artoria's rule.

After gaining the prestige of defeating the Norman army, Joan of Arc's army expanded again, and the number of admirers in the French was in the hundreds, and Joan of Arc's actions against the Normans were supported by everyone in France.

Of course, this does not include Richard of Burgundy and Edward of Aquitaine.

After this battle, the two armies of Burgundy and Aquitaine moved when they heard the news, not because they were afraid of the sharpness of Joan of Arc's army, and it was easy to truce with them, but because they were glad that this battle had defeated Artoria's arrogance, and in the future, they would not have to fear that the other side would bully others, and they would be able to gain more benefits when they carved up France.

Inertia is something that humans can't resist!

Despite defeating the Norman army in numerous small battles, and even drawing in a battle in which they were at a disadvantage, the other two still didn't believe how strong a village girl with braids could be.

Mid-September......

The Burgundian army marched from Dijon to Orleans, the capital of France.

To the south, the Aquitaine army is also advancing in the direction of Anjou! The situation in France is critical.

Late September......

The rested French troops engaged the Burgundians on the outskirts of Orleans, and the French won a resounding victory, leaving Charles, Duke of Burgundy, in disarray.

Late September......

The French army engaged the Aquitaine army on the outskirts of Anjou, and the French won a great victory, capturing Edward, Duke of Aquitaine.

Early October......

Edward, Duke of Aquitaine, surrendered the unconquered Bordeaux and its surrounding territories, and swore allegiance to King Philip II of France.

A draw with Norman!

Two defeats over Burgundy!

Three battle suits Aquitaine!

The French army led by Joan of Arc has attracted the attention of the nations, and even the French nobles have begun to believe that this girl has magical powers, and the canonization of Joan of Arc as a saint has been on the table of Philip II several times.

Although he knew that this girl could bring miracles, Philip II really didn't expect this miracle to be so amazing!

Now France has basically restored its dignity as a traditional European continental power, and at the same time, the chassis has also been restored, and the French volunteers have been cultivated by several major wars, and have the momentum of a hundred battle lions, and the number has increased to more than 30,000.

The nobles of France, Bretagany, and even Normandy sent secret letters of allegiance to Philip II, either explicitly or implicitly.

In contrast, the Normans trapped in Paris were like islands in the vast ocean, Artoria's decree could not go out of the suburbs of Paris for 20 kilometers, and all the stragglers sent out before that suffered heavy casualties, and if they were unlucky, they would be wiped out in an instant when they encountered the main French army!

Today, Artoria seems to have given up completely, and does not care about anything other than desperately eating every day, neither wanting to break through to the relatively calm Normandy, nor continuing to maintain the rule of France.

In such a situation, Randy landed in Normandy!

September 18, 1102 A.D.......

600 Viking ships with 50,000 Norman legions arrived,

This is the next stage of the war......

Compared with Artoria, Randy, as the Norman king, is considered to be famous in the whole of Europe, and some people even say that the Norman kingdom is the first power in Europe today.

The Norman kingdom is one of the best in terms of territory, population, economy, and number of standing armies, and its comprehensive national strength is indeed the largest power in continental Europe.

Of course, the Eastern Roman Empire, which spans the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, does not count!

Surprisingly, however, the first thing Randy did when he landed in Normandy was not how to strategize and relieve the siege of Paris, nor did he lead his army south to capture Orleans, where II killed Loufus.

The crime was that Loufus failed to rescue and caused the entire French war situation to be eroded.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the unlucky ghost of Loufus is innocent, under the circumstances at that time, there was no point in going to the rescue before the battle on the outskirts of Paris, at that time the Norman and Celtic coalition forces had an absolute advantage, and the rescue of Lufus was meaningless at all, and the rescue after the draw was even more impossible, the nationalist France was extremely terrible, and Normandy was also turbulent.

But Lufus is still dead, and unlike Randy, who has always liked to flaunt the construction of the legal system and fairness and justice, this trial did not go through any legal procedures.

There were no defense lawyers, judges, juries or anything at all, or Randy alone took all these positions, and finally struck the hammer without waiting for Lufus to say a word:

"Death penalty, immediate execution."

After this, Randy quickly sent officials to take over Brittany, which was now barely stable, and sent 3,500 professional Viking warriors and 1,500 crossbowmen to form a Breton garrison to impose martial law on Wren in order to suppress the Bretons who were about to move.

While forcing by force, Randy naturally did not forget to use inducements, in addition to the tax exemption methods that he has always used, Randy also implemented such measures.

He declared that he would respect the special rights of the clergy more in the future, promising them more monasteries and land, and supporting the sale of indulgences.

Declare to the nobles that it will be guaranteed and expand the rights and interests of the nobles.

In the case of freemen, it is said that the tax rate will be kept low, and they will be given more say in the affairs of the state, such as the Estates-General.

For the serfs, it was declared that the system would be reformed later, giving them land to cultivate.

Seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense, Randy is not afraid that he will go to hell after his death, and he borrows from enemy representatives all day long, coercing and seducing, and talking endlessly, telling promises that are completely impossible to keep, and there are really many fools who are moved by Randy's words, patting his chest and promising him that he will support him, and hope to achieve the conditions that Randy said soon.

But there is another premise, and that is the French throne!

Randy asks them to support him in obtaining the crown of France, the most traditional and noble royal family in continental Europe.

And all this is premised on the defeat of Joan of Arc and her unwavering and insane army of 30,000 France.

Excluding the improvised Breton army, Randy still has 45,000 divisions under his command, and can recruit more troops if the situation is critical, and the excellent financial situation of the country can also support Randy's desperate expansion.

"Let's go to Paris!"

After instructing the commander of the fleet, Carter, to continuously deliver supplies to Normandy and at the same time launch pirate raids on the coast of the Western Sea, starting from the Île-de-France and spreading throughout the territory of the Kingdom of France.

In fact, when the news of the landing of the Norman Iron Cavalry under Randy's command came out, the residents of the entire French region, including nobles and commoners, were scared to pee, if Artoria was a witch in their eyes, then Randy was an out-and-out Satan incarnation, the demon king from hell.

There was no comparison between the two, and Joan of Arc, who had high hopes from the French people, was currently fighting the Dijon and Burgundians, and there were only a few small forces of harassment and aristocratic forces in the Île-de-France region.

Not an opponent at all!

As a result, most of the nobles surrendered to Randy again, and wanted to play a trick on the wall.

But Randy doesn't allow such behavior, for people who have already betrayed once, it is not uncommon for them to have a second, third, or countless betrayals, and I don't need such a person with a low personality to be my vassal.

For this reason, Randy rejected all the French nobles' requests for surrender, and the Norman army divided into dozens of routes, carrying various siege equipment produced by the dwarves, and wiped out all the noble castles in the Île-de-France region one by one, beheaded the nobles, young and old, skinned their corpses, filled them with straw, and placed them in the centers of various towns and villages in Île-de-France for people to visit.

Such an iron-blooded wrist once again makes it clear that this Nordic dragon is not a cute creature with a vegetarian diet, but a terrifying monster that wants human life, and the French are once again timid.

The situation in Paris was completely quiet after only five days of Randy's arrival.

Iron Wrist!

High Pressure Domination!

The French were once again silent, and the whole of France was enveloped in a white terror.

Hearing of Randy's landing, Joan of Arc hastily ended the siege of Dijon and led his army north again against the Norman army.

The Great War is imminent!

Randy took a defensive position and did not take the initiative, but stationed in France, continuing to calm the people while waiting for Joan of Arc's arrival.

The longer he stayed in France, the more Randy felt that Artoria had lost unjustly.

The two sides are roughly equal in terms of commanding operations, and even Artoria is stronger, and Artoria has the advantage in terms of personal force, but in terms of buying people's hearts, Artoria is far behind by Joan of Arc, Artoria will not do anything else except for a high-pressure rule, and he also very arbitrarily cut off the heads of many noble family members in France, so that Randy has to directly kill them all and never suffer from future troubles!

I don't understand the most basic combination of grace and power......
