Chapter 859: The King's Game

The Louvre in Paris, a fortress built for defensive purposes at the beginning of the 12th century, has been transformed into a splendid royal palace after a series of renovations over the past 300 years.

After Paris was captured by the English invaders, it became the center of England in France.

As a result of the signing signed by Charles VI, King of France, Henry VI of England nominally had the right to inherit both countries, with France as his territory.

Today's Henry VI is not yet ten years old and does not have the ability to govern, so naturally there is also a word regent.

The current regent stationed in France is the Duke of Bedford, who has acted as the court three times, and became the right-hand man of King Henry V of England, and he is also a famous military strategist in the world.

Inside the empty main hall of the Louvre, no one was allowed to enter it during non-meeting periods, and the Duke of Bedford lay motionless in his chair with his eyes closed.

The perennial conquest made his figure not like the bloated of ordinary nobles, tall and strong, but his body did not have any breath of life.

In front of him, two young men talked to each other indifferently, as if the Duke of Bedford, the regent of France, did not exist.

"The French army is much more capable than imagined" The young man in aristocratic clothes looked at the latest information in his hand, and his smile couldn't help but be solemn.

"Your army sent to Orleans was repulsed?" The other magic-robed man said indifferently that the front-line military didn't matter to him.

Because even if it is difficult, it is an ordinary person, except for the high-ranking knights among them, who are more difficult, and the rest are vulnerable.

"Repulsed? was wiped out" and the intelligence was reduced to ashes in his hands. Slowly scattered to the ground.

"You've got those guys in there, right? Although mostly more wasteful. But it's not all gone. Templar churches in a big way? The unknown magician frowned when he heard this.

He knew what had been planted in this expedition, a group of Dead Apostles who were not weak, although there were many forces that could defeat them, but there was no near the French battlefield, and all he could think of was the Templar Church, which regarded them as mortal enemies.

The Templar Church really wants to trouble them, and it's still a lot of trouble to solve it.

"Probably the princess found it"

Even the Templar Church couldn't possibly wipe out all the Dead Apostles he had sent, unless it was some other higher Ancestral Dead Apostles, and the first thing that the young man thought of was the princess who was chasing him.

“…… The preparation is nearing completion. Even if that princess comes, it's not so easy to break."

"I'm waiting for her to come," the young man, or should he call it, nodded, the previous deaths had made him start to lay out a solution to the troubles.

"Except for the princess's business, this time the information is quite troublesome" Excluding the most important core issue, Luo Ya conjured patterns in the air, and the shadow of a team of cavalry gradually appeared.

"Armored cavalry?" The unknown magician looked at the image, and he naturally didn't know much about military matters.

"The French hoplites, the defeated troops in Orleans were completely defeated, and they have an indispensable merit"

The hoplites of France, this thing though Roa doesn't care too much. It has to be said that the Templar Church is under threat. The two can't fight, and the Dead Apostles can't be too obvious, it's too difficult on the battlefield.

Fully armed, even the horses are covered with iron armor, and it is difficult for normal armor-piercing arrows to cause much damage without hitting the vital point.

The Battle of Agincourt more than ten years ago was also the last group of real heavily armed hoplites on the French battlefield, and it was simply a problem on the battlefield, with landslides and collapses on the wet ground, so that the heavy cavalry knelt without even rushing up.

"Commander John is also a piece of waste, and actually ran to the open terrain and set up camp"

Even though there was a reason why it was difficult to fight, Roa still cursed, judging from the intelligence information, John planned to withdraw from the Orleans area with at least five thousand remnants of his army.

There was nothing wrong with it, the problem was in the place chosen when retreating, and the open terrain gave the French army the greatest advantage.

Nearly 5,000 people, and before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they were routed by 1,500 heavy cavalry, and the casualties of the other side were barely in the triple digits? Maybe it's still double digits.

"Don't tell me about boring military intelligence, you know I'm not interested in this," the unknown magician suddenly said irritably.

If you have this time, you might as well let him go back and continue to work on that thing.

"There is another theory, this time the commander of the French army is an angel of the Lord, maybe it has something to do with the Templar Church"

"Let me solve it? You're not afraid that if you really have anything to do with it, the Templar Church will come and ruin the plan in advance."

"Go with the army to have a look, and if you are sure that it has something to do with the Templar Church, you can postpone it for the time being, if it doesn't matter, you can dispose of it"

"Time"

"Their actions were a bit unexpected, instead of hitting the defensive areas studied by the gang below, Nordman and Paris went to attack Reims, and it will take some time to send the army back."

……

"Wait, there are too few people in the King's Game," said Shadow Wind on the moon, extremely resistant to the game.

"Even if everyone present is counted, there are only six people, and there is a two-in-five chance of removing the king, which is almost half, which is too great."

It is also true that the number of people in the general king game is better to have ten people, and the probability of being selected is too low, and the probability of being selected is too low, and six people is really slightly low.

"Game of Kings...... What is it? Elt Luki asked puzzled, except for Youfeng and Erquit, the expressions of the other people present were similar.

"The game of kings is a card game" Elquet's eyes glowed with gold, and several pieces of tissue paper appeared, floating into everyone's hands.

Kings Game Rules:

The same number of cards are selected according to the number of people participating in the game, plus an additional ghost card (six people, i.e. six cards + one ghost card).

After shuffling, each person draws a card, which is forbidden for others to see except themselves

The person who draws the ghost card has to show the ghost card, he is the king, and reshuffle the card without drawing the ghost card until someone draws the ghost card

Follow the rule of number of cards = number of people + 1, and the last extra card is the king's number

The king can give orders to any two or three people, and the other party is not allowed to resist

"It seems to be quite an interesting game" swept the contents of the paper, Zhu Yue smiled playfully, and agreed.

"Do as the princess commands" ×2

"Don't get involved in too crazy orders," Elt Luki didn't object, and it looked quite interesting.

"......" As a result of everyone's agreement, the opinion of the wind was ignored normally. (To be continued.) )
