"Okay, okay, although the location is a little remote, as long as you work hard to develop, you can also get a good income. Naturally, Egil couldn't tell his wife that he had a magical killing system, which would judge his merits according to the degree of his conquest, killing, and destruction of the country, in exchange for prizes. So I can only comfort her like this.

"Just kidding! That kind of hell place, even if you spend fifty years trying to govern it, it may not be effective. This also ensures that you can keep the land in the event of a local rebellion or an invasion by foreign enemies!In that case, you will not be able to see the day you die!" Artoria looked at Egil's unenlightened appearance, half dead. She shouted at him - she was the only one in the entire Norman Empire who dared to do this to Egil.

"Alright, Hani, take your breath. There's always a way. The person who can make me suffer has not yet been born. Egil chuckled and took Artoria's hand and sat down. Then he rubbed Artoria's shoulder in a flattering manner.

"Forget it...... I can't help it. When are we going home?" said Artoria, looking at Egil's scoundrel, a little helpless.

"Wait until Joan of Arc arrives and leave. Egil replied. And Artoria, after hearing Joan of Arc's name, was slightly unpleasant.

"I heard that you canonized that woman as the Lady Prince of Syria, is that so?" asked Artoria angrily.

"It's not. Egil replied solemnly: "It's the Archduchess." There is a difference of about half a level between him and the female prince. ”

"Isn't that the same?!" Artoria shouted as if he was annoyed by Egil again.

"I can't help it. Joan of Arc was the right person to be. Egil spread his hands and pretended to be innocent.

"Hmph...... You'll have more time with that woman from now on, won't you......?" said Artoria, who sat down again and pursed his lips like a child.

"Anyway, you're the one I love the most, Hani. As he said this, Egil put his arms around Artoria's neck, and the whole person was pressed against Artoria's back, while opening his mouth to bite her earlobe, and his hands gradually moved down......

"Well—it's still daytime. Be a little more serious. Artoria's smile flickered, and then she got up again as if she were angry, pushing Egil away.

"Then let's wait until after dark, hey, hey, hey, hey......" Egil, who thought he understood Artoria's codes, laughed heartlessly.

"Forget it...... Altoria felt a little helpless, "So when will that woman come back?"

“...... That's a little troublesome, but it's definitely there in two months. Egil said.

"What's the matter, what's wrong with that woman?" asked Artoria curiously.

"It's not something that you won't get into trouble if you don't provoke it. Egil smiled bitterly......

A month earlier, when the news of the Crusaders' preparations for retreat had reached the front through carrier pigeons of the Norman spy system. Joan of Arc breathed a sigh of relief. After a series of battles with cowardly non-flowers. Joan of Arc has sensed that her opponent is not simple. Not counting those slave infantry. The 15,000 elite steppe light cavalry alone can pose a great threat to their own side. And the commander of the other side is also an extremely cunning, extremely patient, and pestering guy like kraft candy.

The cowardly Buhua, who commanded the Mongol vanguard army, did not get discouraged and did not give up after a failed attempt to lure the enemy. He didn't lead the army to pounce in a fit of rage. Instead, more light cavalry was thrown in, and the crusaders were harassed endlessly—a total of 5,000 elite Mongol light cavalry, and 10,000 Central Asian steppe light cavalry, in turn, attacking the Crusader camp day and night. Let the Crusaders be overwhelmed. ...,

"Insufficient troops......

Faced with this situation, Joan of Arc felt a little helpless. The elite Norman hussars under her command add up to just over two thousand. The other light cavalry, mainly steppe nomadic cavalry from Eastern Europe, and nomadic cavalry from Syria in the Near East, combined were less than 3,000 men. The Crusaders, though in overall numbers, were on par with the Mongol vanguard. Even, after encompassing a small number of Arabs who had joined them, the number of Crusaders was even greater. But when it comes to light cavalry, it was the Mongols who were far ahead, more than three times as many as the Crusaders.

In such a situation, the Crusader Knights, who were overwhelmed and confident because of a series of victories, sought battle. I hope to be able to take the initiative and destroy these damned Persians with a battle, a decent army.

Joan of Arc naturally did not allow it. She's naturally different from those savages who have muscles in their heads. She was not carried away by the successive victories, and the tactical literacy and war talent cultivated by the years of war also told her that there was definitely something wrong with this.

It can be said that this crusader army is really lucky to have such a calm and cautious commander as Joan of Arc.

However, the Crusader knights, nobles of other countries did not understand Joan of Arc's painstaking efforts. On the contrary, they saw Joan of Arc sending Norman armies in a row, and those armies were able to win in a row. They thought it was Joan of Arc deliberately suppressing them. It is necessary for the army of one's own country to obtain military exploits and glory. And suppress them, and do not let them go to war.

God pity them - and I don't see what kind of class they are...... The heavily armed cavalry could play a very limited role in such a light cavalry battle. And after being lured into the trap of the Mongols, most of these people will die.

If it was Egil who was in command of the army at this time, the guy would definitely have grinned and agreed to the knights' request. Let them rush up and fight hard. He took the opportunity to withdraw his troops and return home. Or follow behind and come a general. Use foreign knights as bait to lure out the Mongol cavalry, and then have a counter-encirclement.

And if it was Artoria who commanded the army at this time, then these knights would have been ruthlessly suppressed by Her Majesty the Empress as soon as they quarreled, and their heads would be cut off and hung high, and their army would be swallowed up.

However, it was Joan of Arc who commanded the army, not the treacherous and cunning Norman Emperor or the brutal Norman Empress. Although Egil in front of Joan of Arc, openly and secretly, mentioned many allusions to the mercy of not being in charge of the army. And after handing over this army to her, she specially reminded many times: "If anyone is disobedient, just cut him." No mercy. Absolute. ”

However, Joan of Arc is Joan of Arc after all. She couldn't accept it for Liwei, or for any other purpose. Will be some originally nothing wrong. or those who do not sin unto death shall be killed. Because of this, she was able to gain the affection of the soldiers. Because of this, she could not gain the fear of the soldiers.

As a result, the situation is getting worse and worse day by day. It almost turned into a mutiny. Jeanne d'Arc was scared enough.

"But those days are finally coming to an end. When she received the order for Egil to withdraw her troops, Joan of Arc felt relieved, and quickly gathered the leaders of the noble knights from other countries. The order of the Norman Emperor was announced.

Unsurprisingly, after Joan of Arc announced Egil's withdrawal and the news that the crusade had been won and that most of the European army had retreated, the knights were a little unreceptive.

"I ask for a verification of the authenticity of this order. Some of the knights shouted.

"Even if it's true, it's the Norman Emperor's order, and we're not the Norman Emperor's vassals, so he can't control us!" someone shouted. ...,

"He's had enough of the benefits and is going to run away. But the glory that belongs to us is not yet in hand. How can this be?!I demand that this crusade continue!" someone else shouted.

And in the midst of these shouts, Joan of Arc was quiet and silent. She was tired of these unenlightened, stubborn, and even somewhat neurotic knights.

The foreign knights shouted for a long time. After that, he pressed Joan of Arc to express his position, hoping that Joan of Arc would agree with their will. Keep moving forward and keep attacking the infidel territory. Joan of Arc, however, resolutely refused.

"You are not your Majesty's vassals, but I am. You may not obey his commands. I must stand up for his will. Even if His Majesty orders me to die, I will obey his orders—and you will continue to mess around. I can't handle it. Because the crusade is over. There is no subordination between us anymore. However, you cannot force me to accept your madness. I'm also responsible for my Norman soldiers. ”

Wait until the knights have had enough of arguing. Joan of Arc said such things in a flat tone. It was embarrassing for the knights around him. Although they have a very high self-esteem one by one. But in this chain of wars. Even the most stubborn knight had to admit Joan of Arc's talent for war. What's more, she also directly controls the Norman army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness and the largest number in this army. A total of 20,000 Norman soldiers, as well as conscripts from Eastern Europe, were all obedient to her. This army numbered half of the crusaders. The proportion of actual combat effectiveness may be even higher......

While the Crusader knights were still embarrassed, or thinking about how to convince Joan of Arc, or retreating, Joan of Arc had already brushed his sleeves away. The Crusader knights tried to catch up. was stopped by the Norman Guard knight next to Joan of Arc.

In this way, Joan of Arc's crusaders began to retreat. Most of the crusaders eventually had to dispel their delusions. I'm ready to go home with the army. However, some of the Crusader knights refused to retreat. These people, who think highly of themselves as Lao Tzu's best in the world, or who are fanatical in their faith and think that God is invincible, are about to fight the Mongol vanguard......
