Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

The Duke of Bedford took the opportunity to look at his worst enemy.
The girl at the bow, wearing a bright silver full-body plate armor, holding a battle flag in her hand, and with fluttering blond hair, is obviously the French saint who reversed the situation of the Hundred Years' War by herself.
Although he didn't want to admit the identity of the other party's seven sages, but just this high-spirited and fearless figure was enough to leave a deep impression on people.
Beside Joan of Arc were several knights holding large shields and speaking German.They stared warily at the longbowman on the shore, and if the other party dared to act recklessly, they would immediately step forward to protect the saint they were following.
Behind these people was a man whose appearance and attire were somewhat out of tune with his surroundings.
Judging from his facial features, he should be that foreigner from the east.
Wearing a set of light mage robes, the Sirisian looked like a good target, but when a royal guard was about to raise his longbow to aim at him, he was stopped by the Duke of Bedford.
"Did you see the armored orc guard standing next to Ma Youfu? Your arrow will be blocked by him [-]%, and then the female elf hidden in the crowd will return your arrow without hesitation."
After being startled into a cold sweat by the Duke's words, the royal guard quickly put down the bow in his hand.
In fact, the Duke of Bedford did not tell the royal guards that the biggest threat on the opposite ship was the seemingly bulky golem.He could clearly feel that the golem stored a huge amount of long-range spells. If there was a magic bombardment on the square, the high-ranking nobles would be injured at most, and other ordinary soldiers and civilians in a mess would probably suffer. up.
After passing by Ma Youfu's fleet, the Duke of Bedford, Talbot and others left the Island of Citi.
Anyway, one side is on the shore and the other side is on the boat, and neither side can do anything to the other side. Instead of just staring blankly like this, it is better to prepare more for the next battle.
If you stay here, do you still have to spit on each other and talk trash?
The next two or three days will be the critical moment to determine the outcome of this battle.
……
Manase, the mayor of Rouen—well, to be precise, it should be the former mayor, is killing time in the prison boringly picking lice.
In April, because Henry VI was assassinated in Rouen Cathedral, he was held in the tower as a suspect and became a prisoner.
Many people knew that Manase was just an unlucky guy with a scapegoat, but many people knew that there was no way to tell such an open secret, so Manase was left alone for several months without anyone asking.
It's not that Manase hasn't tried to save himself.
However, even if he spent all his wealth to bribe the king's servants, he didn't get any response. The former mayor was so worried that he changed from a big fat man with a ruddy face to a fat man with a miserable face.
Finally, Manasse figured it out.
Only when Henry VI was crowned King of France and the war came to an end, could he be free.As for the position of mayor of Rouen, I probably don't need to think about it anymore.
So now, Manasse is completely lying flat, and apart from eating and sleeping every day, he looks at the Seine River outside the window through the narrow window in a daze.
Since tomorrow is the "Advent Day of the Mother of All Things", Manase has a little more expectation in his heart.Maybe the jailers could give him another meal for the sake of the goddess Kailin.Manase didn't ask for much, a glass of beer and a sausage was enough.
It's just that after lunch, there was a sudden commotion outside.
The soldiers rushed to assemble, the officers shouted and shouted, the armor and weapons collided in chaos, making ping-pong-pong noises...
Although Manasse didn't know much about military affairs, as the former mayor, he could still deduce something from these clues.
The French are coming!
Although I don't know why, Rouen, which is located in the safe rear, will face the front of the French army, but this is definitely a godsend opportunity for Manasse.
Although he has sworn allegiance to the Three Lions flag for more than ten years, he is a French-speaking Norman after all, and he has no psychological pressure to jump back to the side of the iris.
Besides, the high-ranking officials in England threw themselves away as abandoned sons. If they didn't take revenge, the prostitutes in the moon mask in the port area would look down on themselves.
Chapter 240 The Fatty and the Butcher
When it was time for dinner, Manasse found a note in the rough black bread.
Anyway, he has been the mayor for so many years, even if he is in jail now, he still has some connections and people outside.
The note said that someone would rob the prison tonight, so he should be prepared.After going out, immediately go to gather people, create chaos in the city, cooperate with the French army, and take Rouen.
After carefully reading the note, Manase stuffed it into his mouth, took two more bites of the black bread, and swallowed it with cold water.
Then, with anxiety and excitement, I continued to wait.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky outside was completely dark, but the city wall was brightly lit, and there were shouts of various soldiers from time to time.
"There are 25 people in the Rouen Council, including the president of the Textile Association, Baron Jules, and the 'blacksmith'... a total of 11 people, who should support me..." Manase is thinking about who he can find and how much he can get after he goes out. Support, suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from outside.
The sound of "clang clang" was obviously made by metal boots rubbing against the slate.
The person who came here is so mobilizing and making great fanfare, I'm afraid they won't come to save me...
A bad premonition rose in Manase's heart.
Soon, the cell door opened, and a big man in full armor walked in.
Smelling the faint smell of meat emanating from the opponent's body, Manasse secretly said badly: "Oops, it's Folgay who came here!"
This guy is the president of the Rouen Butchers Guild, a Rouen city councilor, an insatiable reckless man who once had a bad relationship with Manase because of a piece of land on the right bank of the Seine outside Rouen.
The two sides have been fighting fiercely for more than ten years, with each other winning and losing.
But when Manassai went to jail, Forguet had the upper hand.He took advantage of his rights as a member of parliament to embezzle a lot of Manase's property, and later even took advantage of the fierce battle in Paris, and the Duke of Bedford was short of people and money, donated a large sum of money, and then won the regent The public's affirmation, when the mayor of Rouen.
Folquet circled around Manase twice with great interest, and snapped his fingers.
The mage behind him immediately understood and cast a lighting spell.
The dark cell instantly brightened like daylight.
"Well, I can see clearly now." Forgay nodded in satisfaction, condescendingly smiled contemptuously at Manase, and threw out a bloody package.
The package fell apart, and the head inside immediately rolled to Manasse's feet.
"The former mayor." Forgay sarcastically said, "Have you seen who this person is?"
Manasse glanced tremblingly, and tremblingly said: "This is... Baron Jules..."
Forgue laughed and said: "That's right, this is the traitor Jules! How dare he have contact with the French! This damned guy has made an agreement with the treacherous and despicable Sires. Once the French army arrives by boat through the Seine Rouen, contact other people to launch a rebellion together...
Unfortunately, the wise and wise Lord Regent of Bedford had already made preparations.When the French army had just passed through Paris, I received the information and began to organize the defense.When patrolling the city defense in the afternoon, another spies were found trying to poison the well.Then, I personally dealt with the spy with the method of slaughtering a pig, and asked the main messenger from him.Guess who?
"Do you still need to ask? It must be Baron Jules. This guy actually knows the enemy inside and out. He should...should be killed..." Manase stammered.
"You guessed right, Your Excellency the former mayor. Then do you want to guess again, how many secrets did Baron Jules confess before I chopped off his head? Who are the 'other people' he is going to contact?"
Feeling the threat of death getting closer, Manase was sweating profusely and trembling uncontrollably.
He thought that if the French army killed him, he would be free soon, and maybe because of his contribution to the "recovery", he could regain his seat as mayor.
How could he have expected that things would be revealed ahead of time.
Thinking of the possibility that his "full body" would end up being killed by Forquet as a fat pig, he immediately felt sad.
Seeing that the former mortal enemy can only be slaughtered by himself now, Forgue is very proud.
At the beginning, after Manasse was blamed and imprisoned, he lobbied everywhere, hoping that the Regency Council would execute the fat man on charges of assassinating the king.
However, the nobles headed by the Duke of Bedford believed that Manassey's status as a native of Normandy could be used, and he should not be executed lightly when the case was unclear.
As a result, Manase has lived to this day.
However, at the critical moment when the French army was about to approach the city, Manasse still showed his flaws and gave Forgue a chance to kill the grass.
"It's not me...I'm just a poor man imprisoned in the tower. How could I plan to betray England?" Manasse shook his head repeatedly.
Folquet said slowly: "I have already interrogated the two jailers who are guarding you. The person who put the note in your bread is your nephew Raymond. Now, come and meet this bold young man." .”
After speaking, Forgue threw another human head at Manase.
Manasse saw the panic and despair on that young face when he was about to die, and finally collapsed, crying loudly.
Manase's family members are not prosperous, and he has no son himself, so he is very fond of his nephew Raymond and cultivated him as his successor.
Now that he has lost his loved one, the pain and anger in his heart made Manase, who looked weak and funny, finally explode.
He stood up abruptly and roared to Forgue: "In the war 13 years ago, more than 5000 people in this city died in the siege of Henry V, including members of your family and mine! But you forgot After all this, unreservedly flatter the British and lick the regent's asshole! You despicable and cruel butcher, the Seven Saints will not protect you, and even the dirtiest beggar will spurn you! Wait for the French army Once it arrives, you'll be finished!"
Folgai punched Manasse directly to the ground.
He glanced at the blood on the iron glove, and said contemptuously: "Didn't you also bow your knees to the British? I just did better than you. It took Henry V half a year to capture Rouen. That's Henry V who won the battle of Agincourt! Do you think the French army, oh, and the so-called wise man of Siris and the wicked French witch, can take the city I guard? Wait for the Duke of Bedford's reinforcements to arrive , I will lead the army out of the city and cut off Ma Youfu's head with my own hands!"
"Now..." Folgay looked at Manasse's neck and raised his axe, "I'll let you go to hell first!"
He just raised the weapon in his hand, when the dark lower reaches of the Seine outside the window suddenly burst into three clusters of flames.
Chapter 240 The Firepower of the Fifth Opening (three more)
Manasse, who had been punched by Forquet in various colors, and whose face seemed to have a dyeing workshop, was lying on the ground in a daze, moaning uncontrollably.
suddenly.Three shell screeches followed, making his ears ring.
Immediately afterwards, the outer walls and roof of the tower collapsed, and gravel splashed everywhere, accompanied by continuous screams.
Manasse hugged his head, curled up into a ball, and let the stone hit his fat body, not daring to move.I don't know how long it took, until he couldn't bear it any longer due to the choking smoke and dust, and then he supported his body tremblingly.
He wiped off the dirty blood mixed with dust on his face, barely opened his eyes, and found that he could see the stars in the sky at a glance.
The river wind in the distance blew over with the sound of shouting and killing, which gave Manasse a cleverness and finally woke up.
"Haha!" Looking at the current situation in Rouen City, he laughed triumphantly.
Manase was about to leave the tower that had been destroyed by shells when he heard a groan not far away.
He picked up an unextinguished torch, followed the direction of the sound, and found that the person who made the sound was actually Forgay.
Manasse was lucky to escape the shelling because he lay on the ground.Forgue was hit by a collapsed roof and was unable to move.Fortunately, he was wearing full plate armor, so he was lucky to survive.
Manasse ran over stumblingly, and took off Forgay's helmet.
"It's you..." Forgue asked weakly, "What happened?"
Manasse sneered, and gently moved Forguet's head towards the city of Rouen, allowing the other party to witness everything with his own eyes.
I saw that there were many gaps in the solid city wall of Rouen City, which was more than eight kilometers long and had been repaired and rebuilt many times.Countless powerful warriors, holding torches, poured into Rouen through the gap under the guidance of the blue iris flag.Under the light of the fire, their armor reflected golden light. Looking down from a height, it seemed that there were several metal giant dragons, devouring this rich city step by step.
"No... Impossible... Rouen has three thousand elite defenders, six outer forts and sixty towers... Each tower has a cannon and five small cannons... How can such a defensive force It may be captured so soon..."
"Idiot, of course it's because of France... No, of course it's because our army has stronger soldiers and bigger artillery!" Manasse said proudly.
In fact, Manasse didn't know how Mayouf City invaded Rouen in a very short period of time, but it didn't prevent him from talking about it in front of his enemies.
"Save me...I will give you all my property..." Forgay, who was dying, begged, losing all the aura of robbing the enemy of life and death before.
His response was a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
Manase bent down without saying a word, looking around.After a sound of scraping the gravel, he straightened up, with a dagger in his hand.
"For the sake of the Seven Sages...mercy..."
