Chapter 834: I Lack a Pillow
"How do you see that I am the crown prince" Putting down the wine glass, the noble aura was immediately revealed, and the crown prince Charles VII looked at the girl in front of him.
Only two people knew the story from beginning to end, the Count of Denoy and Baron Gilles, neither of whom had ever been in contact with Joan of Arc today.
It should be said that no one has ever come into contact with them, and the only one is the attendant he sent, and absolute obedience cannot be missed.
"My God tells me that you are His Highness the Crown Prince"
"Charles VII of France, also a famous king, is famous for his big bald head, there is nothing wrong with this one present" Lying on Joan of Arc, the wind said boredly.
Charles VII, the king of France who ended the Hundred Years' War, controlled France for more than 50 years, a rare long-lived king, and the historical evaluation is also quite well-known.
Many of the nobles present were also wondering in their hearts, what does the crown prince mean? Is it true that the girl is a messenger of God?
It's a bit of a surprise to recognize the crown prince, but it's not too surprising if someone tells you in advance.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Commander Vauculel has an urgent letter from Botrecot," said an attendant as he stepped forward as the conversation began.
“…… After a little thought, Charles VII said with a calm expression.
In a short time, the attendant stepped forward again, and his hands had already presented a tightly sealed, stamped urgent letter, and when he opened the letter, a smile appeared on the corner of Charles VII's mouth.
"Look at y'all too" The smile was fleeting, and after regaining his expressionless expression, Charles VII passed the letter.
There was a lot of whispering at the banquet. But everyone who saw the letter froze. The venue gradually fell silent. The gaze that looked at Joan of Arc became incredulous.
"The central city of Orleans is under attack by the combined forces of England and Burgundy, and is in danger of falling at any moment, look what you are doing!" Charles VII suddenly shouted angrily.
"For personal gain, dragging each other back, once Orleans is taken, the combined forces of England and Burgundy will drive straight in, and in less than three days they will be able to raid Chinon "
There was silence in the venue, as long as there was still a little brain, no one dared to provoke the crown prince at this time.
The northern part of France had long been occupied by England. But it didn't have much practical significance for the nobles of the Orleans line, and their family property was in the south, and there was not even much loss.
They will not worry too much about England's attack on Orleans, the important fortress of Orleans is by no means a city that can be easily captured, and the main force of France is also stationed in it.
Seeing that Orleans was besieged as mentioned in the letter, I finally understood how serious the situation had been, and if it was not pushed to the limit, Orleans would never reach the point of being besieged.
The silence in the venue also made the crown prince nod inadvertently, this letter came at the right time.
The Count of Dinoy returned from a serious injury. The news did not spread out, and the Orleans defeat was just recently. The nobles have not yet received relevant news.
The content of the letter explained that Orleans was defeated and besieged, and it was hoped that the crown prince would immediately organize reinforcements, which was part of it.
"But the Lord has not forsaken us, there is still hope for France, and the Lord has sent His messenger to help us expel the invaders!"
Another thing in the letter was about Joan of Arc, where it was written that a young girl had told him about the defeat of Orleans, and that the next day there was the defeat of the Count of Dinoy.
This is why the nobles looked at Joan of Arc in amazement, the seals and seals on the letters had just been opened, surrounded by Burgundy and England, and the commanders there would not be idle to send boring urgent letters.
"The rescue force is already on standby, Joan of Arc, I order you to be the commander of this force, and set out to rescue Orleans as soon as you rest for three days"
“…… Yes"
This time it was Joan of Arc's turn to be surprised, the speed of the reversal of the situation was really beyond her expectations, and in just ten minutes, she had become the commander of the next troops......
"Prove that you are the messenger of the Lord, and expel the invaders," said the Crown Prince meaningfully, having already thought to himself when he heard Gilles say something about Joan of Arc.
It was an adventure, but he had to gamble.
England occupied the northern part of France, the morale of the army and the people was low, and they had long been disappointed in the royal family, how could they lead such an army to compete with the English invaders.
Even without Joan of Arc, he intended to create a hero, originally intended to create Dinoit, a brave knight who could greatly boost morale.
But he didn't expect him to lose too quickly, so he didn't have time to implement his plan.
Today's banquet is a test, and it is also a preparation for the name of Joan of Arc and the Holy Virgin, and finding the crown prince under the guidance of the Lord is enough to convince the soldiers and the common people of the lower classes, and it may not have much effect on those nobles, but it can achieve the purpose of raising morale.
Unexpectedly, things went more smoothly than he imagined, and the contents of the urgent letter from Botrecott even made him doubt that Joan of Arc was really the messenger of the Lord.
Less than twenty-four hours after the defeat of the defenders of Orleans, the Count of Denoy was severely defeated, and Orleans was besieged.
If it weren't for the great military vision, it would have been the only one the Lord had told her it would be.
Either way, it would be enough for the crown prince to make the decision to make Joan of Arc the commander of this rescue force.
Another reason...... He had no one in his hands who could save France, not even more than Dinoy.
Although he returned alive from Orleans, the current Dinoy auxiliary was okay, and when he became commander, he felt that he would have to die before the battle was over.
"Mission will be accomplished"
With the delivery of the urgent letter to the banquet, his mission has been accomplished, and the purpose of the banquet is to test and spread the name of the Holy Maiden.
With the unexpected letter, the crown prince believed that even if he did nothing, the news about the saint would spread quickly.
The reason for the three-day rest is also the time for the spread, if it really can't last even these three days, the defenders of Orleans are too useless.
"I really...... Became the commander of the expedition? Leaving the banquet, Joan of Arc was still a little incredulous, after all, it was too fast, and it wasn't long before he arrived at Hinon.
"yes, that bald man still has some ability"
“……”
"Why can't you be scared?"
"A little worried," Joan of Arc said with a little fluctuation in her mood, after all, she hadn't been on the battlefield yet, and she was about to usher in her first time.
"I'll help you"
“…… Then let me sleep with you in my arms tonight, maybe I can calm down."
“…… It's true? ”
"Hmm" Hearing the possibility of agreeing, Joan of Arc nodded and said.
"......" (To be continued.) )
