Chapter 579: The Burning Notre Dame
Time goes back to two hours ago.
Just when Qian Chen was still busy working in the restaurant of another dimension, the whole of Paris, no, it should be said that the whole of France was suddenly drawn into the flames of war.
The big aristocratic group led by the Duke of Roland suddenly attacked, and directly began to attack nearby towns with their own territory as the core.
On the other side, it seems to have been agreed.
Several large cities in France, such as Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Cannes, etc., fell into the hands of the French Liberal Party.
This party is a new party that has emerged in France in recent years, and only civilians, workers, and intellectuals of civilian origin are admitted to the party.
While the aristocracy ridiculed the party, which was made up entirely of mud legs, the French Liberals had already unwittingly eaten away at more than half of the French plebeian in just a few years.
It was only in the territories of the great nobles and in the capital of Paris that they did not dare to act rashly.
However, because of this, the aristocracy did not clearly recognize the terrible threat of this party.
To this day, this party, which is composed entirely of civilians, suddenly bursts with terrifying energy and overthrows the local government in one fell swoop.
Many of France's overseas colonies declared independence, including several large islands in the Mediterranean.
Sardinia, the territory where Qian Chen had just been canonized, was one of them.
Sardinia has been an Italian territory since ancient times, but after Italy was defeated by Napoleon, Sardinia was ceded to France as an indemnity.
However, the main language of the island's inhabitants has always been Italian, and the culture and customs are close to those of Italy. The locals have also always considered themselves Italians.
Sardinia was originally an enclave close to Italy, and the island had few valuable resources, so the empire had always had insufficient control over the island, and it is said that there were vicious incidents of governors sent by the empire being assassinated by the locals.
Almost every emperor has given this governor a headache, but no one wants to go to anyone who knows the inside story.
There was even a saying in aristocratic circles that 'going to Sardinia to be a governor was tantamount to death and exile'.
Give it back to Italy, the empire can't afford to lose that face; If you don't pay it back, the inhabitants of the island are always in trouble.
The food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, it is simply chicken ribs.
This time, Vernoyed III was good and threw the pot directly to Qian Chen.
As soon as they heard of the civil strife in the empire, Sardinia and other overseas colonies immediately responded and declared independence.
Almost overnight, the entire empire was in shambles, and more than half of the land was lost.
Of course, the actual number of casualties on both sides was not more than 100, and it was more of a symbolic resistance, and these casualties were instead a stampede caused by the frightened crowd.
Because the regular troops can't decide the victory of the war, only the high-level chefs can.
Everyone was eagerly awaiting the outcome in Paris.
They have not forgotten that there are two heavenly kings in the French Empire, and the most important thing is that the saint who saves the country.
Eyes turn to the Île de la Cité, in the heart of Paris, inside the Collège Sainte-Joan of Arc.
The old church was on fire, but Chief Helena was uncharacteristically prevented from approaching anyone, not even firefighters.
Because she knew that area had become a battlefield, two non-human battlefields.
Immortals fight, mortals are exempted.
When Qian Chen came out of the restaurant in another dimension, he saw such a scene.
The direction of Notre-Dame Cathedral was so bright that it lit up almost half of the night sky. The students panicked like frightened quails, and the teachers kept reassuring them.
At this time, news from outside the school gradually came in.
There was also a terrible word - civil war!
From ancient times to the present, every war has been accompanied by rivers of blood, and civil wars are no exception.
The victorious side will show off its might, and the losing side will suffer the Great Purge.
During the Great Revolution before Napoleon came to power, even the emperor was guillotined, and countless nobles were purged.
Vanessa's side has a teacher to take care of it for the time being, but Qian Chen is worried about the fire at Notre Dame. The two sisters, Zhenna and Jeanne, don't know if they escaped.
Qian Chen decided to check it out for himself.
He jumped out of the window, avoiding the teacher's gaze, and ran along the path in the direction of Notre Dame.
Coming to the vicinity of Notre Dame, the doubts in Qian Chen's heart became heavier and heavier.
It was strange that there was no one here, including the firefighters.
It felt like someone had cleared the venue and deliberately made people avoid it.
Clang!
At this moment, there was a piercing sound of metal crashing in the burning Notre Dame Cathedral.
Qian Chen suddenly became alert, the current situation was strange everywhere, and he couldn't be careless.
At this time, the small door that he frequented was covered with flames, and he had no choice but to go to the main entrance of Notre-Dame.
It's also interesting to say that this is the first time he has entered Notre Dame Cathedral through the main entrance.
Qian Chen kicked open the main door, which was already on fire. Then a scene that he will never forget appeared in front of him.
In the hall of Notre-Dame.
A young girl in pitch-black armor is engaged in a fierce battle with a young girl in pure white armor.
The girl in white armor had blonde hair tied into a long ponytail, and a pair of blue eyes were resolute and holy.
She wore a blue sheathed sword at her waist, but instead of drawing it, she fought with a white flag embroidered with the fleur-de-lis logo.
The girl in the pitch-black armor was almost like a copy of the white-armored girl, her long silver-white hair was scattered behind her head, and her dragon-like golden vertical pupils bloomed with cold killing intent.
She also wore a sheathed long sword around her waist, but the whole sword, both the hilt and the scabbard were pitch black, and at this moment she was holding a black battle flag embroidered with the demon dragon logo in her hand, and the battle flag was constantly smashed on the top of the white-armored girl's head.
While smashing, she laughed maniacally.
"Hey, hey! What's wrong! Is that all you have? So you still want to save France, no kidding! ”
The white-armored girl was holding the battle flag in both hands, struggling to support it.
In terms of technique alone, it is definitely the white-armored girl who is even more powerful, but as soon as the golden holy light on her body touches the blood-colored flames on the black-armored girl's body, it immediately collapses as if she has encountered a natural enemy.
When a spark falls to the ground, whether it is wood or marble, it immediately burns and does not go out for a long time.
The ability was restrained, and the white-armored girl could only support herself under the unreasonable smashing of the black-armored girl.
At this moment, the door opened, and Qian Chen's figure appeared at the main entrance, and the three of them were stunned.
"Why are you (you)!?"
