Li Ji hesitated, wouldn't it be a problem to let Joan of Arc join? You must know that Joan of Arc is most likely their enemy, but it is too unkind for him to reject the girl so hard-heartedly.

"Joan of Arc, of course I understand your abilities."

"No, no, I'm too humble compared to Lord Marda." Joan of Arc's humble answer did not seem at all deliberate, but from the bottom of his heart.

"Please don't be modest, I've always treated you as a saint like Marda."

"I'm sorry." Joan of Arc couldn't help but feel a little flattered and bit her lip, "So, you agreed?" ”

"No!" Li Ji shook his head resolutely, intending to ask another question: "If what we are going to do may be beyond your imagination, but it is the right thing, will you help us?" ”

"I... I don't quite understand what you're saying... But I'm going to try to learn and accept," Joan of Arc said after a moment's thought.

Even Marda felt that she couldn't go on, "Master, I want Miss Joan of Arc to go with us for the time being, I wonder what you think?" ”

Li Ji had to agree, but with his own watch, it is unlikely that Joan of Arc will become his enemy again, besides, if the black Joan of Arc is slaughtered everywhere, he will not be able to stand it.

They returned to their Vatican residences.

In the following week, Cosimo used his abilities to the fullest, and easily mobilized twenty ships, knowing that in this era, so many ships were enough to create a huge chamber of commerce, and even then, compared to what they had to do, it was still a little insufficient.

Something happened suddenly.

It turned out that during this period of time, the bishops who received the order did not forget to collect information on the direction of France, you know, the Papal States are also more greedy for the benefits of French land, dioceses, etc., and have always wanted to meddle in it.

Information on various parts of France was on the table, and Semilamis alone could have provided such comprehensive information.

Joan of Arc's army finally became active, first burning King Charles VII of France.

When he was the crown prince, he used Joan of Arc and gave her the power to command the army, so that the girl could embark on an unprecedented glorious path; It was also he who did not save the maiden at the siege of Compiègne after she was captured, resulting in Joan of Arc being burned to death; However, he ended the Hundred Years' War and laid the foundation for the prosperity of France in the following centuries, and he is a rather contradictory figure.

Following Joan of Arc's army under the leadership of a Lori named Napoleon, they broke through Orleans, attacked Paris in the north, and did not know what trick to use, bypassing the British regent Duke Bedford, and tricking the young British King Henry VI to Paris for the coronation and killing them together.

The King of England died.

In addition, Joan of Arc's "Chrono Weapon" made its debut, relying on the ability of the heroic spirits to turn decay into magic, and directly appeared in the late nineteenth century Makqin heavy machine guns, Zeppelins, Krupp steel guns, and World War I tank tanks.

However, the truth is... This time and space, for some reason, made the chrono weapon temporarily unable to exert such a powerful effect, and Joan of Arc's army quickly fell into a bitter battle after advancing to Paris.

Not only that, the death of the King of France and the King of England at the same time can be said to shock Europe, not to mention the neighboring Castile, the Holy Roman Empire, and even the remote Teutonic Knights, Wallachia have expressed anger and concern, who let this be an era of European aristocrats intermarrying with each other, just talking about interests, the death of two king-level nobles means that the hot inheritance is falling, and there are too many people to compete.

Because of the speed of information transmission, the whole of Europe was barely quiet, and the undercurrent on the French land was turbulent, at least Philip III, Duke of Burgundy, who was another enemy of Joan of Arc, stood up again, saying that he would crusade against the girl, or rather, if he did not resist, he would become the third victim.

Li Ji spoke with Sherlock Holmes again.

"Is there so much going on? This dragon witch didn't act so easily as we expected, and besides, there was such an unpredictable French emperor here..."

Sherlock Holmes listened to the turmoil in the land of France and could not help but fall into deep thought.

“… Let's come back and focus on what this intelligence revealed. As a detective, I can't give you combat and strategic guidance, but Miss Joan of Arc is more suitable, and I have an unmatched eye for some details, and I have the means to see through everything. ”

"The first... The situation is undoubtedly deteriorating, Lee, you need to go to Paris in person, otherwise you will be completely out of control of all this. ”

"Paris? Go and see Joan of Arc in person, as her allies? It is necessary to believe in Cosimo's abilities, and it doesn't mean much for us to stay in the Vatican if we believe in Cosimo's abilities. ”

After hearing Holmes's suggestion, Li Ji accepted it without hesitation.

"The second... Why didn't Miss Joan of Arc's army easily defeat the backward Anglo-French army, and if we didn't solve this problem, would the future develop as we hoped, even if we chose her? ”

“… I believe this is not an unanswerable question that will not affect our choice. Holmes said this, noticing the glimmer in Li Ji's eyes, he raised his head and exhaled: "I think you should have guessed." ”

"—the reason is that the mystery has not yet completely declined."

"From the age of the gods to the age of the goblins, the mystery ushered in two large-scale declines in succession, and magic gradually lost its power and became magic, and many magic systems could not function, and they were completely lost."

"The next recession node is the Renaissance a hundred years later, with the Reformation, the Age of Discovery, so that the mystery will completely fade."

"Therefore, in this era, ordinary soldiers still have several times the physical quality of people, and when united, they can defeat the weak fantasy species, but the modern army, before reaching a sufficient scale, coupled with mysterious interference, has been weakened and cannot achieve the desired effect."

"In that case... It means that Miss Joan of Arc needs our help more, otherwise it is impossible to say how long she can hold out. ”

Sherlock Holmes's guidance ended again, Li Ji thought about it, delved into the Lower Three Thousand World Towers, and noticed that the direction of the world line had indeed shifted, and he had to step up his preparations, otherwise if Joan of Arc was defeated, the Heroic Spirits summoned through the Holy Grail would return, and he would be unable to support himself in the fifteenth century, even if he succeeded, he would have to pay ten times the original price.

"The problem is... Who should I keep? ”

"Take Joan of Arc... When Black Joan of Arc finds out, will she still agree that I'm an ally? Bringing her hateful, nasty side over is a complete provocation to her! ”

"Take Marda... Does Joan of Arc have a way to handle everything in Rome? This is not France, for her it can be called deep behind enemy lines. ”

"Bring both... No matter how much Cosimo is a businessman, he can't trust the other party so much. ”
