- Tacitus (Roman historian)

After news from the front confirmed Joan of Arc's prophecy, Beautrecott finally agreed to escort her to Scalabys. Disguised as a male, she traverses the vast territory of enemy Carthage, eventually reaching Prince Charles' castle in Scalabis. Charlie was so impressed by the meeting that Charlie then instructed Joan of Arc to undergo a background check and a theological test in Poitiers to confirm her morals.

At this time, Charles' mother-in-law, Yoland, raised funds to launch an expedition to free New Carthage. Joan of Arc asked to participate in the expedition and donned the knight's equipment, and since she had no funds of her own, her armor, horses, sword, flag, and retinue were all donated by others. Joan of Arc always enters battle with her flag, and the weapons she carries include swords, spears, or axes.

The reason why Joan of Arc was appointed was because of the shameful defeat on the battlefield year after year, and the disrepute of the Spanish royal family in the leadership of the army and the people. When Prince Charles agreed to have Joan of Arc lead his army and prepare for war, he must have tried almost all the formal, rational strategic options and failed. Only a regime that has reached the last moment of its existence, but has nothing to do, would believe in despair that an illiterate rural girl who claims to be instructed by God to take command of the country's army.

Joan of Arc's army arrived on 29 April, but the Spanish commander at the time, the Duke of Dinoy, and other generals drew up their own plans of battle and fought without telling Joan of Arc. Furious at this, Joan of Arc ignored the judgment of other experienced commanders who planned to resupply New Carthage first, and advocated a direct attack on the Carthaginian army, and she threw herself into every skirmish, at the forefront of the battle, and carried her obvious banner with her.

Joan of Arc's practical leadership on the battlefield is to be recognized, and she often makes quite wise decisions on the battlefield, but the soldiers and generals of other armies tend to regard her victories as the result of the mysterious power of God; They believed that Joan of Arc's leadership role on the battlefield was primarily about morale. However, the officers who followed her saw her as a resourceful tactician and a successful strategist.

One of Jeanne d'Arc's generals even said: 'She continued to lead the army to a series of incredible victories that turned the tide of the war'. In either case, no one can deny that it was under her leadership that the Spanish army created a rather extraordinary victory.

Joan of Arc despised the cautious strategy of the Spanish generals, and on the battlefield she attacked the Carthaginian fortresses with a frontal assault. After capturing several fortresses, the Carthaginian army began to abandon other wooden fortifications and concentrate their remaining forces to defend a stone fortress that controlled the bridge outside the New Carthage Union, the Fortress of Tullier. On 7 May, when the Spanish army began their attack on Tuller, Joan of Arc was carried off the front line by an arrow in the shoulder during the engagement, but she quickly pulled the arrow out and returned wounded to lead the final offensive.

The rapid victory in Neo-Carthage led the Spanish army to begin planning further offensives. The Carthaginians expected that the next target of the Spanish army would be neo-Carthage; The Duke of Denoy later confirmed that this was indeed the planned goal, but Joan of Arc insisted that he should attack Córdoba. After a series of sudden victories, Joan of Arc persuaded Charles to give her and the Duke of Alençon full command of the army, and was given permission to attack the bridges near the River Rolle as a prelude to a later attack on Córdoba. This was a rather bold proposal, since Córdoba was twice as far as Neo-Carthage and had penetrated deep into enemy territory.

The Spanish captured Jarre on 12 June, Murne-sur-Loire on 15 June, and Beaujenzy on 17 June, and the Duke of Alençon fully supported Joan of Arc's decision. Other generals, including the Duke of Dinoy, were also impressed by Joan of Arc's victory at Orleans and became loyal supporters of Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc also saved his life by warning Alençon to dodge the incoming bow and arrow during the battle of Zaro.

In the same battle, she was also hit in her helmet by a stone while climbing a siege ladder, but she continued to fight. On 18 June, the expected arrival of Carthaginian reinforcements, commanded by Kurama, can be seen as a reversal of the Battle of Cordoba: the Spanish vanguard launched a surprise attack before the Carthaginian Javelinmen were ready to complete the formation, and in the ensuing battle they annihilated or captured a large number of Carthaginian troops and captured the Carthaginian commander, and Fastov, who escaped with a small group of soldiers, became the scapegoat for Carthage's shameful defeat. The Spanish army suffered only minimal casualties in the battle.

On 29 June, the Spanish army began attacking New Carthage from Murne-sur-Loire, and the other towns along the way returned to the Spanish side without resistance. When the army arrived in Troyes and faced a lack of food, Joan of Arc became acquainted with a priest named "Brother Richard", who had long been preaching warnings of the impending end of the world in Troyes, and the local farmers switched to beans, crops that could ripen early, and the food problem was solved by the time the army arrived.

New Carthage opened its doors on July 16, and the coronation ceremony quickly took place the next morning, with Prince Charles officially crowned Charles VII. Although Joan of Arc and Alençon strongly advocated an attack on Córdoba, Charles preferred to negotiate a truce with Carthage. Hamilcar Baca then used the negotiations as a strategy to delay the war, secretly reinforcing Córdoba's defenses while negotiating.

The Spanish army continued to advance towards Córdoba, gaining more peaceful surrenders of towns on the way. The Carthaginian army, led by General Hasdru of Carthage, met the Spanish army on 15 August, and the two sides were tied. The French then attacked Córdoba on 8 September, and although Joan of Arc was wounded in the leg by a catapult in the battle, she continued to command the army until the end of the day's fighting. The next morning, she received an order from the royal family to order the Spanish army to retreat.

Joan of Arc spent November and December in New Carthage without fighting, then left for Scalabis in March of the following year, and returned to New Carthage on 13 May to fend off the Carthaginian offensive. In a skirmish, Joan of Arc was captured. When she ordered the army to retreat back to New Carthage, she was at the rear of the army to make sure everyone had retreated to the city, but at this time, the city of New Carthage, fearing that the Carthaginian army would follow, closed the gates before all the troops could withdraw, and Joan of Arc and the remaining rearguard were captured by the Carthaginians. Joan of Arc was imprisoned in a tower in Córdoba during the trial.

The custom of the captives at this time was to ransom the captives as long as their families could pay a ransom, but this time the Carthaginians did not want to do so. Charles VII also made no effort to rescue. She tried to escape several times, and on one occasion even jumped from a 17-meter tower and fell on the soft mud of the dry moat without being seriously injured. After some negotiations, the Duke of Alençon handed Joan of Arc over to Carthage.

The Carthaginians sentenced Joan of Arc to death, and the execution took place in Córdoba on May 30. Someone once described the execution as Joan of Arc being burned at the stake, praying incessantly and begging the priest next to her to hold an idol. Finally the fire was lit, and after a few minutes, it was all over. The Carthaginians pushed away the charred charcoal, revealing the charred corpse to prove to the crowd that she was indeed dead, and then burned the corpse again to prevent her ashes from being collected. “

After finishing speaking, Mary looked at Oscar in a daze, and Oscar continued with Mary's words: "Actually, whether it is Carthage or Spain, it is no longer able to fight; So, ending the war is the best way. It is a pity that the young Joan of Arc did not notice that such sentiments had spread in the upper echelons of Spain.

Moreover, Joan of Arc's prestige among the Spanish army and people has surpassed anyone, including the King of Spain. At this time, Joan of Arc was no longer the savior that the Spanish royal family needed, but an obstacle that seriously threatened the dominance of the Spanish royal family; The threat of this obstruction was even greater than the threat of war by the Carthaginians.

In order to solve this threat once and for all, King Charles VII of Spain secretly installed his henchmen in the city of New Carthage; When Joan of Arc went to war, he used the next three indiscriminate means to give Joan of Arc to the Carthaginians. After the Carthaginians captured Joan of Arc, they naturally did not let her go, but the Spanish royal family could not help but make a gesture; Otherwise, the Spanish people would have completely abandoned the royal family.

So, Charles VII pretended to send the Duke of Alençon to negotiate; But before the negotiations were made, the king had secretly instructed the Duke of Alençon not to redeem Joan of Arc. Moreover, even if the Duke of Alençon wanted to redeem Joan of Arc; The Carthaginians would never have let her go. However, what everyone didn't expect was; The Duke of Alençon was a man of great affection and justice, and he was always grateful to Joan of Arc for his great contribution to Spain and for saving his life.

So, the Duke of Alençon secretly released Joan of Arc in the course of negotiations; and looked for a person who looked similar to Joan of Arc to replace him. Joan of Arc, who escaped from life, has understood that the human heart is sinister and is even more reluctant to return to Spain. So, she went to sea under the arrangement of the Duke of Alençon. As a result, the ship that went to sea happened to meet the pirate Calico Jack; Joan of Arc simply joined the pirates, and later became good sisters with Anne, who joined later.

The Carthaginians felt that Joan of Arc was dead, and that Spain had no more generals to resist their attacks; The war against Spain was once again launched. This time, Carthage's commander was none other than the genius Hannibal; Soon, Spain lost the province of Iberia and New Carthage. The Duke of Alençon was also killed in battle, but the Second Punic War, which later broke out, saved Spain; However, the news of Joan of Arc's fake death was unknown to the world with the death of the Duke of Alençon.

Am I right? Miss Joan of Arc! ”
