However, despite the fact that many centaurs expressed their uneasiness, many of them were the leaders of hundreds of tents. But their de facto rulers, military leaders, and commanders of this enviable elite force of five thousand men, His Royal Highness Lord Prothea clearly did not think so. Either to be angry, or to prove that you are right. In short, the young, twenty-three-year-old centaur commander stubbornly insisted on attacking Krakow, the capital of the Norman Empire.

"Think about it, this is the largest and most powerful empire in the human world, and our band of warriors is about to attack his heart, his core, and his vital point - if only we could show up around Krakow and cause panic, no matter what. Our goal has been achieved. Those Normans would definitely have flinched out of fear. Then we will receive honor, and gold as an indemnity - we can even have the empire pay us an annual tribute. Those cosy fur coats, those beautiful glassware, those gold and other things that came before them. Think about it. Soldiers. Every one of you will become a rich man, and a rich man with a very good reputation and glory!"

Printhia spoke like this, encouraging her soldiers with a tenfold increase in benefits and a hundredfold easier mission objectives. Such a slightly exaggerated speech, as well as the stirring rhetoric, made the centaurs start to become fanatical. The vast majority of men chose to follow their commanders. Continue towards Krakow and receive the promised rewards and glory.

Of course, if the capital is the heart of the empire, then the Norman Empire, which has a large number of very good companion capitals that are also built, should be a monster with multiple hearts. Even if one or two hearts are actually removed, they will not die-and the so-called fear, reparations, and tribute, then it is even more nonsense......

"You have to be careful, and you have to be careful. It is likely that the other side has obtained information through some channel. It is likely that our whereabouts have been exposed......"

In fact, when no one is around, Printhia asks herself, and she thinks that she is very stupid × such a mental idea. Knowing that the other party had dug a hole, he was waiting to jump by himself. But I really jumped in...... But, but......

Printhia had feelings that she couldn't explain. She felt that she was unique, different, some kind of chosen character. You can make the impossible possible. Even if it's a trap or something else, after meeting her, she will be able to solve it, and turn evil into good fortune......

But it's a pity that the protagonist of this war is not her. And the protagonist of this world is not her either.

Destiny is not with her.

"Soldiers, move a little faster. Otherwise, the enemy will run away!Your honor and booty, the ransom paid by the other party, and the rewards promised by His Majesty the Emperor, and even the title of Lord, will also run away!" It is a little ridiculous that not very far from this group of centaurs, there is also a young woman who is like this, using fame and fortune to inspire her army.

Joan of Arc, the saint who had acquired better command skills after her training, reappeared on the battlefield. Unlike before, this time, the saint was not in command of a French army trained by outcasts and robbers, but by Norman soldiers and improvised Polish and Rusan nobles. And she didn't fight for France. It was for another, even greater nation, the Norman Empire.

So, on the battlefield in the east, there was such a very interesting scene: the commanders of the two armies, again coincidentally, were women. Of course, this may be the only thing Printhia and Joan of Arc have in common. In addition, the commanders of the two sides are very different in terms of personality and specialty.

Printhia was irascible and impatient, while Joan of Arc was confident and good at patience, and Printhia's army was all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. But she is not good at attacking fortifications, the terrain is unfamiliar, and the number is scarce, while Jeanne d'Arc's army is a mixture of infantry and cavalry, both offensive and defensive, and the geography is familiar; Printhia is good at attacking, while Joan of Arc is good at defending; Printhia has only a small army, hoping to be able to carry out assault operations, and run away after fighting, while Joan of Arc hopes to lure the enemy into depth, and it is best to be able to completely annihilate the enemy army...... Of course, Egil took care of it again and again, because the commander of the other side, that is, the daughter of the centaur Khan, was a very important bargaining chip, so it was necessary to capture him alive. ...,

Similar to Artoria's thoughts, Joan of Arc didn't expect Egil to be so ghostly at this moment. Therefore, he took Egil's words to heart very seriously, and told the whole army that those who saw women and horses could not be killed, but must be captured alive.

Of course, an airborne commander like Joan of Arc suddenly went from a nun to the commander of an army of 50,000, and such an act did cause dissatisfaction among many people in the army. A few people who were full of thought that "this time it's finally Lao Tzu's turn?!", and the Norman Legion Commander, who was holding back his strength to be the commander, was very surprised and annoyed. And the reaction of the Rus' and Polish nobility was even stronger. After all, no one wants a woman to ride on their head. No matter how proud this woman was before, how close her relationship with Emperor Egil was. That won't work either.

The power of tradition is still very strong in this era. A woman, especially a nun, wants to be the commander of an army - if it is a warrior priest, a semi-religious group such as the Armed Order is easy to say, but the Norman army of 50,000 is clearly not. The treatment of Joan of Arc can be imagined.

When Joan of Arc, dressed in a nun's robes and borrowing a few armed priests from the Field Order to support the scene, appeared in front of the army, the soldiers below were in an uproar. There are all kinds of things to say, and they have to be as ugly as they are. Of course, it's all under Joan of Arc's control. For these guys, who are mostly illiterate, uninformed, and very idiotic, Joan of Arc, who is now considered half a high-level intellectual, has a hundred ways to regulate them. Of course, the simplest, and most direct and effective way is to give grace and power.

Without blinking an eye, he directly ordered to kill a few of the loudest screams. Then, without waiting for any reaction from the soldiers. A few martial arts warriors hummed and resisted a few large boxes, smashed them open at once, and when they shone under the sun, they were golden that couldn't open their eyes.

"Gold, gold?!"

The soldiers in the front row shouted in surprise: "It's gold, gold!" These chests, hundreds of kilograms of gold coins, were taken out by Joan of Arc, which made the uninformed soldiers dumbfounded.

Then I heard a gunshot: "bang !!". On either side of Joan of Arc, two soldiers armed with short and thick iron pipes and wearing early full-body plate armor made a violent noise with their weapons, which immediately suppressed several soldiers in the front row.

"What is this?!" Joan of Arc shouted without losing any time, "money, status, honor!

That's it. The Tubunzi Rus, the Polish, and other nomadic and ethnic minority Tubunzi soldiers were thus suppressed by the wrist of General Joan of Arc. A lot of money, wishing for officials, titles and arable land, and too much military ability beyond these dirt bun nobles. Within a few days, the 50,000-strong army was convinced by their new commander, Joan of Arc, and followed Joan of Arc with an iron heart, listening to her words, and wanting to find a rich future for themselves......

Of course, it can be expensive. A small half of the entire Norman Empire's February income, a total of 200,000 gold coins, was thus appropriated by Joan of Arc as a tool to buy people's hearts. Because of the support of the de facto first person in the Norman government, that is, Aurora, Egil's sister. Joan of Arc's embezzlement was only possible. Egil, on the other hand, only found out a few days later, after the 200,000 gold coins had been distributed to the soldiers. In addition to smiling bitterly, Egil said lightly: "Don't do this in the future." It's hard for me to do this. "After that, there was no follow-up.

Of course, in private, during the conversation with Aurora, Egil was angry and yelled, which made Aurora very unable to get off the stage.

"I don't care what your reason is! The current situation is that you bastard has lost my 200,000 gold coins! I don't listen to what you say, I just need my money! If not, you will pay me for my flesh, bastard!"

"Do you dare to ask for it if I really pay for it?!"

"Do you think I dare?!"

So Egil cut off the communication - this is also a function that has been added to the growing strength of Egil's psychic mind, which can sever the psychic connection with Aurora in extreme emotions. It is dedicated to awkwardness and quarrels, and is the best skill for expressing anger.

"I'm so. Egil muttered a little, but it woke up Artoria, who was not sleeping too soundly - since gathering with Artoria's army, the journey between Sonia and Maria had come to an end. At this point, Egil still has a clear distinction between the important and the important. To meet Artoria first, because she is the main room. After satisfying Artoria, if she still has the strength, she will go to the tent where Sonia and Maria live - a little more difficult, of course......
