After a long day of chasing and fighting, Joan of Arc finally realized that something was wrong. The French soldiers gathered around her numbered no more than a few hundred. And there is no food or grass at all. Abnormal exhaustion. But it's extremely tough. That's all she can do.

What's going on here?

Joan of Arc does not give up. Or in other words, there are still illusions -- 30,000 French troops, 30,000 French troops......! Did you really win this battle?!What should you do next?Do you retreat?But Paris is just around the corner!

Unwilling. Really, really unwillingly. Obviously there is only one step away from victory, why is this happening?!

The huge contrast between the ideal and the reality made Joan of Arc feel trance, angry, and unwilling, and then madness and extreme destruction.

"Let's move on! The goal is Paris!Soldiers, follow me, we're going to keep fighting!!" Eventually, Joan of Arc decided.

A decision that surprised Egil slightly.

In fact, Egil never wanted to fulfill his agreement with Philip II. Joan of Arc is indeed a headache for all feudal lords. So, leave this headache to your enemies. Wouldn't that be nice?

So, when Joan of Arc herself came to the door, leading hundreds of exhausted soldiers outside Paris, Egil was surprisingly surprised.

"Is she crazy?" said Egil, astonished.

But that's not wrong. If this kind of behavior is not described as "crazy", how can it be said that it is self-confident, pious, and tragic like a martyr?!

- Isn't Egil a villain through and through?!

That's it, maybe Joan of Arc has understood something. Or maybe she's already had some kind of realization. For example, to inspire the French people with their own death, to arouse a little blood in their hearts - France has no shortage of generals who can fight well, and there is no shortage of soldiers and food. What France lacks is morale, spirit, noble idols to whom to whom to dedicate one's life.

If that were the case, a great trial, like the one in which the Jews interrogated My Son Jesus, would be a very good subject. The next step is national mourning. The Holy See was canonized, and the people of France were full of anger and united in their determination to expel foreign invaders.

If you calculate it this way, the dead Joan of Arc is more useful than the living.

"What are you kidding?!What's going on?!Damn it!!"Egil is in a hurry, isn't this forcing people to death?!You want to be a hero and take it easy, just let me be an executioner?!Where did you come from such a cheap thing?!

Thinking like this, Egil was furious. But it's a no-brainer with Joan of Arc.

In this way, the beginning of the farce still ended in a farce. Underneath Aurora's nonchalant smile and absolutely ironic smile, Egil really felt the urge to "just kill her for a hundred".

But if you think about it, forget it, the enemy of the people is not so easy to be. Egil felt that he was more interested in being a typical king.

So, Egil gave the order and opened the gates of Paris. There were only a few hundred people under Joan of Arc. There were more than 40,000 Normans in Paris. Egil is not afraid that the other party will take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city.

However, speaking of which, Egil also crossed the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Joan of Arc is such a perfect embodiment of morality, goodness and justice, she can't do such a shameless thing anyway.

Then, in the city of Paris, the Norman diplomat slowly walked out. Say hello to Joan of Arc and ask what you mean.

"I'm here to attack Paris. So Joan of Arc replied without shame. Leave the diplomat Scykende speechless for a while.

However, Sekkende is also an old diplomat, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, and then coughed softly twice, and then said: "You should also see that you have no capital to attack Paris at all. I'd like to advise you below, it's better to restrain your edge a little-"

But Joan of Arc had no intention of restraining in the slightest.

"With the French army under my command. Paris is in my pocket!" Joan of Arc replied.

“......”

As a result, Sekente was speechless for a while.

"You should be aware of the reality, Miss Joan of Arc. I don't see any French army behind you. There are just a bunch of poor veterans who have been exhausted from the war and are still willing to follow you. Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think about these loyal soldiers. They all have families, parents and brothers, wives and sons. Can you really bear to let them die for nothing?"

After hearing the words of the diplomat Sekander, Joan of Arc turned around in a daze, looking at the dirty, emaciated faces that were stained by gunsmoke and sweat. Their scrawny bodies, large and small wounds on their bodies, old and new. and the longing look in their eyes, though Joan of Arc knew that the crowd did follow her. Heaven or hell, as long as you give an order. They will follow them in the charge. Never regret it - but Joan of Arc can't do that.

Because, as Sakkende said. That's pointless.

Joan of Arc seemed to be stupid for a while. The long sword in her hand fell to the ground without realizing it, she looked at the soldiers beside her, and then turned back to look at the walls of Paris. In a trance, she seemed to see the bits and pieces of the past few months. The dungeons of Orleans, the jailers and prisoners who are listening to her sermons religiously. It was the first group of people who followed him. After a series of battles, only a handful of them survived. Still, they are the most resilient. The few who survived, all here.

When you do your best, you don't think about it. When it was decided to go north to fight the Celtic queen, it was opposed by almost all the French nobles. Lahaire argued with reason, but almost got into a fight with others. In the end, it was Viscount Gilles who helped him...... Viscount Gilles himself died in that battle. A few months have passed, and the grass on his grave has probably grown...... After defeating the Celtic Queen, he was in high spirits. Prestige, status, honor, and secretly slander are all a lot. At that time, I even thought that I could overcome all the difficulties and dangers in this world.

However, it is just delusional.

"After all, shepherdess......" Joan of Arc could not hold back after saying this to herself, and spat blood from her mouth because of the exhaustion and the great mental stimulation, and fell directly from her horse. Fainted.

"Joan of Arc...... They, they killed Joan of Arc?!" The French soldiers also believed that Joan of Arc had been plotted against by the Normans. For a moment, the crowd was excited, and several soldiers carried Joan of Arc aside. The vast majority of the soldiers roared, using the last of their physical strength, and rushed towards the wide open gates of Paris.

"This, what's going on?!" the diplomat who bore the brunt of the attack, Saikende, was directly stunned. looked stunned at the fierce French who rushed over from the opposite side. In his heart, he secretly said, "My life is over." However, on the city walls, Egil had already prepared. Seeing that the French really began to attack. Ten thousand arrows were fired at the head of the city. Bows and crossbows and feathers are overwhelming. In an instant, all these hundreds of remnants were shot into hedgehogs.

"Giggles......

Listening to the terrifying sound of the hedgehog French dying, as if his throat had been scratched, in the blink of an eye, Sekander, who had already circled at the gates of hell, broke out in a cold sweat. I also felt a wet and hot liquid flowing out of my crotch uncontrollably. Then he rolled his eyes and fainted...... "What's going on?!" Egil watched as the farce ended. But he was very dissatisfied. Cursing, he walked down from the city and kicked Sekander. Then he walked over to Joan of Arc, who was still unconscious. Speechless for a long time.

"This ...... Lord, it seems that there is still anger. The knight of the guard next to him hesitated for a moment, then reminded him - and was glared at by Egil. I don't know what was going on just now, but the crossbowmen and longbowmen didn't shoot in Joan of Arc's direction, intentionally or unintentionally...... "How good it is to die......" Egil muttered a few words. After that, he sighed: "First, let's grab it first." Don't be too hard for her. ”

"Yes, my lord. So the knights of the guard went to find two stretchers and put Joan of Arc on them. After that, he was carried away.

"I don't know where to put the handcuffs and shackles that were exchanged for Artoria......" Egil continued to mutter, looking at Joan of Arc who was still unconscious.

Thus came to an end the Norman-French War, which lasted for several months. It also heralded the complete collapse of the first coalition against Norman.

And the final outcome of this war is also satisfactory to the vast majority of people. The other countries that originally intended to target the Norman kingdom saw that Egil suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses. They all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this scourge would finally stop for a while. After that, those who should fight the civil war will fight the civil war, and those who should do business will do the business. In short, the Norman kingdom was safe—at least for now.

And this deal between Egil and Philip II, no matter how much Egil ultimately wanted to pay the bill. But in terms of the end result, Egil ultimately complied with the contract. Next, the two sides are fighting each other. An armistice was signed.

In short, none of this has anything to do with Joan of Arc. The so-called Messiah of France is no longer useful.

Then throw it away.

Isn't that what the so-called savior is? Appears when it is useful. When it's useless, just retreat obediently. If you continue to stay on stage, you will be annoyed by people......
