Reims, an extremely important city in France, is not important because of its strategic location, but because of the coronation location of the kings of France, without which it cannot be called the king of France.

During the third phase of the Hundred Years' War, the coronation city was captured by the combined forces of Burgundy and England, as well as the French capital of Paris.

England occupied Paris, while Reims gave it to Burgundy, and as long as Reims did not regain it in a day, the title of King of France would not live up to his name.

Now, Lance has finally been successfully recovered by the French, with fleur-de-lis banners hanging over the city and the walls full of solemn French soldiers.

Touring the city walls with Demes and Bertrand, Joan of Arc walked calmly past the soldiers, whose eyes were full of fanaticism.

In a short period of time, the name of the Holy Maiden had spread throughout the army, especially among the middle and lower ranks, who truly believed that she was the messenger of the Lord.

After the battle flag waved by Joan of Arc, as long as they saw the battle flag, all the soldiers would unconsciously boil their blood, and they were even more fearless of life and death.

Whenever a battle is bound to rush to the forefront without the slightest damage, the chosen strategy is bound to bring victory, even the noble officers of the upper ranks feel incredible.

In order to ensure the speed of the plan, the strategy of long-range raid on Reims was not too carefully calculated regardless of the logistics and degree of resistance, but everything was very smooth.

Along the way, a large number of cities were surrendered without a fight, and even the military town of Tvalu surrendered after a few days of siege, and in less than half a month, the French expeditionary force fought all the way from Orleans to Reims. And complete the Raiders.

It's the second day of the capture of Reims. The crown prince, who had arrived early after receiving the news, was about to arrive. The city is also nervously preparing.

The coronation of Crown Prince Charles VII, as long as it passes through tomorrow safely, the identity of Charles VII as King of France will be confirmed, and he will no longer be the crown prince.

Joan of Arc, who was touring the city, was a little disappointed, her god had not returned, and the message she had left was a few days, but it was almost a month now.

Last year, during her cultivation, her god also disappeared for half a year, but she hadn't seen Xiao Yu at that time. Besides, he also said that he was going to go out for a short time, which is completely different from this concept.

"Obviously, where did that woman abduct my god......" The time when Xiao Yu disappeared reminded Joan of Arc of that beautiful woman, it must be because of her.

"What does the Holy Maiden command?" asked Demes, who was following him.

"It's nothing, let's continue to patrol, tomorrow is the coronation" His face became calm again, and Joan of Arc said lightly.

Shaking her head in bewilderment, although Joan of Arc seemed calm, Demes, who had taught her for a year, could still see the difference.

It took less than a year to set foot in Dolaimi Village. He was shocked by the change in Joan of Arc, and the simple girl was now truly qualified as the savior of France.

Eternal peace in front of outsiders. It's rare to get flustered, but Demes knows Joan of Arc is a little flustered right now.

The "Holy Maiden" walked to the left and right of the north gate, and Gilles, who listened to the soldier's report, said respectfully.

Even Demes and Bertrand could see that if there was one of the most revered Joan of Arc in the upper echelons of the army, it was undoubtedly Gilles, the nobleman who was quickly promoted.

It's not a simple emotion that I like, but a step further, the mood of being willing to protect each other for the rest of my life, but everyone knows, but Joan of Arc doesn't know it......

"What happened to Giles"

"There is information from the villages near Reims that a small group of enemy troops has appeared, and I am planning to take a team of cavalry to reconnoitre," Gilles said calmly without the slightest hesitation.

"Inform the Duke of Alençon of the information, and Gilles you go and prepare men to go out of the city with me"

"Holy Maiden, just leave this kind of thing to me, the city still needs your ......" Hearing the news that Joan of Arc was also going out of the city, Gilles suddenly said a little nervously.

Two days earlier it had been reported that England was gathering a large army in the direction of Paris, and at this critical moment he did not want Joan of Arc to take the risk.

"The defense of the city is enough for the Dukes of Alençon and the Dukes of Dinoy"

Joan of Arc said calmly, and there was one more sentence that remained in her heart, and that was that she had a feeling that she had to go with her this time, as if something was attracting her.

By the way, after the capture of Reims, the Count of Denoy was promoted to duke, and what was lacking was the official reward after his coronation.

“…… It was "for a moment, and Giles bowed his head in obedience.

Not long after, a brigade of nearly 200 heavy cavalry left the city, originally planned to be a small cavalry reconnaissance and annihilation with a small number of cavalry, but Giles immediately changed after Joan of Arc joined.

Joan of Arc's safety was necessary, both for his own selfish interests and for the sake of France, and for this purpose he obtained orders from the Duke of Dinnoir, the most elite hoplites.

There was even an old-timer in this cavalry who surpassed Dinnois's seniority and strength, and Lahair, the actual trainer of the last French hoplites.

Possessed of military talent, not inferior in strength to Laher's old rival Shang? Proton? Santlei, arguably a military general trusted by Charles VII.

In addition, the elite 200 people selected from nearly 2,000 heavy cavalry constituted the team of this reconnaissance, which was not luxurious......

……

"That's where the news comes from"

The disadvantage of the hoplites was their lack of stamina, but the news was not too far from Reims, and for Joan of Arc's safety, Gilles chose the hoplites.

After galloping along the way, we finally arrived at the place where the news came.

“…… Damn it! With her hands clasped, Joan of Arc looked ugly ahead, a village in disarray.

The wreckage of the entire village was silent, no living person could be seen at a glance, there were traces of flames everywhere, and the village even became charred black.

"It's not an ......army that can do," Joan of Arc muttered, and England's army would not have been able to set fire to such an extent that it would have been so utterly destroyed.

The middle-aged general Lahaier, who was over forty years old but didn't see any sense of old age, said in a deep voice, but from his frowning brows, it could be seen that he was not as calm as he imagined.
