Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

She has long pale golden hair, a petite figure, and a delicate face, with a hint of childishness in her eyes.

But she walked into the city of Rouen without hesitation.

"Kaelin, the goddess of life, told me that the citizens of Rouen are suffering. Behind the raging plague lies an evil conspiracy. I must not just sit idly by!"

Seeing the young girl's decisive back, the accompanying priests had no choice but to follow her into the epidemic area.

No way, Elizabeth was a saint created by the Duke of Gloucester, the Archbishop of Beaufort and other great nobles.Except for the chief archbishop of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was directly appointed by the Holy See, the leaders of other dioceses all endorsed Elizabeth's legitimacy.

Now the Holy Maiden takes the lead and is going to the epidemic area to rescue the suffering, you priests, do you still dare to hide behind?

The mood of the pastors at this time is like that of the warriors on the short 75 guns with tears in their eyes when they meet the mouse tanks in later generations.

However, the saint is blessed by the divine power bestowed by the Seven Saints, so she is invulnerable to all poisons and fears no disease.Pastors are not capable of this.They were fully armed and prepared-wearing beak masks filled with various herbs, and holding incense burners in their hands. The fuel in them is frankincense soaked in holy water that can exorcise evil spirits.

Although there is no special medicine against the plague in this era, the magic spells cast by the saintess and the various artifacts containing the power of the seven saints used by the priests can also effectively fight the plague.

Of course, most of the time the epidemic area does not have such a luxurious treatment team, and they still have to wait to die.

Because of this unexpected plague, the king's team stayed in Rouen for four days until the plague in the city was completely purified by the saint, and the people infected with the plague were completely cured.

Of course, some patients with severe symptoms and almost no hope of survival were ordered by Earl Hogil to directly purify them physically with a sword.

After all, the health of the saint is important. How can Elizabeth, who has worked hard for many days, waste extra time and divine power on a group of worthless dying people?

After many efforts, Rouen finally returned to its pre-epidemic state.And Henry VI, with the support of many nobles, came to Rouen Cathedral.

The purpose of the little king's trip to France this time is to be crowned as the king of France, so it is very necessary to declare his legitimacy to the people—whether they are British or French.

Back then, Henry VI's father, the great king Henry V who won the Battle of Agincourt, took half a year to break through the city of Rouen when he ran out of ammunition and food.

After entering the city, Henry V went to Rouen Cathedral to hold a pompous ceremony to thank the seven saints and show his piety.

Now, of course, the little king had to follow his father's example and visit Rouen Cathedral to prove the unquestionable legitimacy of his claim to the French throne, inherited from one of the greatest kings ever to have lived in England.

In the cathedral, after the ceremony was held in front of the statue of the Seven Saints, Henry VI received several plague patients cured by the saint to show his kindness and treat the people of Britain and France equally.

"Great and... merciful... King... Your Highness..., thank you... the Seven Saints..." A hunched French old woman knelt in front of Henry VI with difficulty, and said to Ying Ying in her vague French. Thank you Wang.

Even though she had been cured by the divine spell, the old woman who had been infected with the Black Death still had faint dark spots on her skin, which looked very pervasive and made the cowardly Henry VI tremble in his legs.

The poor little king finally summoned up his courage and said, "In the name of the Seven Sages, I will bring peace and peace to all the people under my rule..."

He hadn't finished speaking when the old woman who was trembling even taking a step suddenly took out a dagger burning with Moyan from her bosom.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Saint Elizabeth, who was standing beside the king, was the first to react.

Although her body was delicate and she had no combat power, she rushed over without hesitation and stood in front of Henry VI.

……

After half an hour.

"Give me an order to search the entire city of Rouen to find the assassin who slipped through the net!" Earl Hogil, who looked distraught, issued an order to the officers under his command.

Afterwards, he glanced coldly at the mayor of Rouen, who was fighting with both hands, and said, "Temporarily arrest the mayor. The king is assassinated, and everyone in this city is suspected!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although the short, fat, kind-faced mayor of Rouen repeatedly complained about wrongdoing, Earl Hogil did not show mercy at all, and imprisoned the gentleman who had been drinking with him not long ago, talking and laughing, into a prison in the east of the city. in the tower.

Seeing the soldiers escorting the scapegoat away, Earl Hogil heaved a sigh of relief and showed a successful smile.

The assassination was actually planned by him and the Duke of Gloucester, and carried out with the participation of the Bishop of Bowen.

The purpose is of course not to kill Henry VI, but to create an opportunity for Elizabeth to save the king and raise her reputation to a higher level.

Now it seems that the plan has been perfectly completed.

Elizabeth is now wounded and unconscious in bed.The entire city of Rouen is praying for the safety of the saint.Even those vulgar soldiers who used to look at Elizabeth with malicious eyes from time to time on the ship before would definitely call her "our little angel" now. Anyone who dared to speak ill of Elizabeth would be attacked by a crowd.

"Very good! Spend some money to hire a few bards to promote the flames, and Elizabeth will become a source of morale boosting for the English army. Although this fish girl is a shriveled little girl, she can't be like the witch of Orleans. With her upturned butt, she can charm those stupid Frenchmen to go to the battlefield to die, but she is still a good pawn..." Earl Hogil showed a wretched smile.

However, this ambitious nobleman still has a little worry in his heart.

Bishop Bowen, who implemented the plan this time, seems to have done things too "realistically".

In order to spread the image of Elizabeth being kind and benevolent and saving the world, a plague was actually spread in the city of Rouen!Isn't he afraid that if the operation is not done properly, the plague will get out of control, and the whole of Normandy and even North France will be affected?

This kind of plan regardless of the people and the consequences is really not something a priest can think of.

Moreover, the assassination in the Rouen church, Earl Hogil knew it was fake, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

According to the plan of Earl Hogil and others, the identities of the assassins were set as cultists who believed in chaos and were instructed by the French.In this way, we can pour a basin of dirty water on the enemy by the way, and tell the world that it is the English who are favored by the seven saints and carry out the righteous cause.The French, on the other hand, are villains who collude with the devil and worship witches.

The assassination began, and the old woman took the lead. After seriously injuring Elizabeth, who was being rescued, six more assassins lurking in the crowd rose up.Hogil was astonished to discover that these assassins were all professionals who had mastered extraordinary powers, and whether it was the magic abilities they used or the various weapons, they all had very obvious chaotic magic power!

How is this going?

Didn't it be said that after the assassination is over, sprinkle a few handfuls of sulfur powder, and throw down a few weapons decorated with sheep's head demons, and it's over?

Why did Bishop Bowen make the assassination so realistic?

In the end, Earl Hogil paid the casualties of twelve guards and three knights before repelling the assassins.

If it weren't for the elite armed forces gathered around the king, perhaps this assassination would really have been accomplished.

Earl Hogil always felt that Bishop Bowen's arrangement was too real, so that a shuddering guess arose in his heart: Could Bishop Bowen really have a connection with the forces of chaos?

Earl Hogil shook his head, putting aside this terrible thought.

In any case, the most important task for him and the entire English aristocracy now is to escort Henry VI to Paris to complete the coronation ceremony.Everything else gets sidelined.

Ever since Edward III who provoked the Hundred Years' War, the English have been pursuing the throne of France persistently. Today, it can even be said that it has become an obsession.

Even during the reign of Elizabeth I a hundred years later, even if the virgin queen lost Calais and completely lost the springboard to send troops to interfere with the situation in the mainland, she still stubbornly called herself Queen of France in her personal letter to Emperor Wanli of Ming Dynasty.

Coronation!

Coronation!

Let gorse and iris become one!

Amidst such passionate shouts, Henry VI's team began to march towards Paris.

And in Mann, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Rouen in a straight line, it is another scene at this time.

Edmund Beaufort, Earl of Somerset gathered the British troops stationed in various places, and then marched all the way north.

No matter how much the Archbishop of Beaufort manipulated public opinion to whitewash the armistice agreement, the fact is that England lost Mann after all.

It's okay to lose to the Witch of Orleans on the battlefield, but giving up the land to the French like this is really unacceptable.

The fact that the English soldiers who grew up listening to the legendary stories of Henry V and dreamed of reenacting the Battle of Agincourt are now evacuating France in despair is depressing.

The earl of Somerset kept cursing the French along the way, and the morale of the whole team was very low.

They went all the way north and arrived at the port of Cherbourg at the northern end of the Cotentin Peninsula.The next thing is to wait for the fleet to arrive and then return to England.

However, on the first night of entering the port of Cherbourg, the young and energetic Earl of Somerset, who always thought of making contributions, completely forgot the order of his uncle, the Archbishop of Beaufort: as long as he safely withdraws to England and fulfills the armistice agreement The content of the content, even if it is successful, don't make side effects.

"Gentlemen! I can't bear to go back to England for nothing!" Edmund Beaufort stood on the high platform and shouted to the soldiers. "We should have returned home as war heroes full of honor and spoils." Instead of going back with nothing and nothing like now! How much is the settlement allowance that the parliament will give you? Five shillings! What can this money do? Since the parliament cannot satisfy us, then we should use the weapons in our hands, Take what is yours!"

These words hit the pain points of many soldiers.Many people stood up one after another, loudly echoing the Earl of Somerset.

The Earl of Somerset smiled triumphantly, and felt very proud of his "foresight" to withhold most of the military pay - this is not corruption, but a necessary measure to arouse the soldiers' fighting spirit.

"My lord, are we not going back to England?" his adjutant Chandler asked.

"Yes, I want to teach the French a profound lesson!"

"Then where are we going? Could it be Le Mans?" Chandler thought that his chief wanted to regain Mann.Then Le Mans, the capital of the Mann region, naturally bears the brunt.

"No, we're not going to France!" Earl Somerset's mind was obviously beyond the expectations of others, "We're going to Brittany, following the example of the ancestors of the Plantagenet family, and giving those traitors a hard time. A riding robbery!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Earl of Somerset had a point in calling the Bretons traitors.

As early as the Germanic Migration in the fifth century, the aboriginal Celts on the British Isles lost to the Germanic invaders, and part of them fled to this protruding region in the northwest corner of France and renamed it Brittany, namely Little Britain means.

Because the culture is closer to England, when the Principality of Brittany named its son, the most popular name was "Arthur", which is full of British flavor.

For example, the political enemy that Fat Womb hated, the Knight Marshal of Richmond from Brittany, whose full name was Arthur de Richmond.

Brittany is culturally similar to England. Economically, because it is surrounded by the sea, its sea trade is developed, and it is also closely connected with England.

Today's Duke John V of Brittany, to which the Montfort family belongs, also relied on the help of the British in the civil war of succession in Brittany nearly 100 years ago to defeat Charles Charles, who was backed by the French. Blois, secure the throne of the Duke of Brittany.

When the Hundred Years' War turned in favor of France, the Principality of Brittany quickly tore up its alliance with England and fell to the French.In the eyes of the English, this behavior is undoubtedly ungrateful and betrayal.

Of course, in the view of John V, the current Duke of Brittany, known as the "wise man", it is undoubtedly the only way to judge the situation and turn to a more powerful ally and jump left and right so that this small principality can survive in the gap between the big powers and maintain its independence. is the first priority.

"The Duke of Brittany is a hypocritical liar who sees us in England as a tool to use rather than a reliable ally!" The Earl of Somerset continued his speech, "However, he still has a good way of managing the territory Compared with the war-torn French land, the towns of Brittany are extremely rich. John V, who claims to be a pious man, is extremely generous to the church. In the churches of Brittany, there are countless gold and silver and expensive Works of art. Take these things and we will be heroes when we return to England!"

Ow!Aww!

Instigated by the Earl of Somerset, the soldiers let out a howl like a beast's roar.

"Punish the traitor!"

"Take back what we deserve!"

"Be a hero, not a beggar!"

Watching the soldiers in the audience shouting various slogans, the Earl of Somerset felt that the military spirit was available, so he drew his sword and pointed to the southwest direction: "Tomorrow morning, march to Brittany!"

This army with a total of almost 2000 people left Cherbourg at an extremely fast speed and invaded Brittany along the coastline.

The Earl of Somerset first arrived at a place called Beauva.

Although this is a small village that is not marked on the map at all, across the sea is the famous Mont Saint-Michel Abbey, one of the holy places of the Seven Saints.

In this monastery, which was built like a fortress, there were only about a hundred French knights who had taken refuge because of the fall of Normandy, and some clergymen who were helpless.But even with this force, Mont Saint-Michel has resisted the siege of England for eight full years since 1423.If the normal historical trajectory is followed, this famous spectacle in the "Civilization" series of games will stand in the siege of England for more than 20 years until France regains Normandy.

When Joan of Arc was born and killed the English people, there were rumors that it was because the Seven Saints were on the side of France that England could not attack a mere monastery for a long time.It is also because attacking Mont Saint-Michel is an act of blasphemy, so the Seven Saints will use the hand of Joan of Arc to punish the English.

It's a pity that the English people don't understand the reason why spectacle can harm the country, otherwise they wouldn't be so obsessed with Mont Saint-Michel.

The Earl of Somerset still had some respect for the Seven Saints, so he didn't attack the monastery, nor did he plunder the small village of Bowa.

"Bah! A group of nonsense sticks! How can a mere monastery influence the views of the seven saints on the war in the world? My king has crowned the crown of France, and the enemy's morale must be broken. If you don't fight, you will be defeated! Wait until you defeat the false king Charlie VII In the world, after recovering the entire territory of France, this ghost place will naturally open the door to us..."

The Earl of Somerset looked at the sacred mountain surrounded by sea water in the distance and painted with gold by the rising sun, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

The viscous phlegm had just hit the beach when suddenly a loud noise pierced the sky!

When the villagers and the English soldiers were panicked and panicked, Earl Somerset clearly saw an evil and strange green beam of light erupting from the highest spire of the monastery, as if to tear the sky apart!
