Firman recalled the past, with an evil smile on his face, and then went straight to Mrs. Ley's room on the second floor.

He pushed lightly, and the unlocked door swung open.Mrs. Ley was alone in the room.She was leaning against the window, looking at the Seine River gurgling in the dark and reflecting the silver-white moonlight from time to time, leaving only a graceful back view for Firman, an uninvited guest.

Firman stared at the round buttocks covered by the thin silk, waved his hand, told his subordinates to wait outside, then walked in alone, and closed the door with his backhand.

"Mr. Firman, you planned such a big event with the English tonight, and instead of supervising the battle, you came here with a moon mask. Should I say that you are overconfident, or are you too stupid?" Mrs. Ley said with her Said in a charming husky voice.

"My desire to see you, Madam, overwhelmed all reason." Firman approached Madam Ley step by step.

"I didn't expect the new head of the Rabat family to be eager to satisfy his desires shortly after his father passed away. It seems that your sadness and love for your father are both problematic."

"Hmph, woman. I know you have a lot of contacts in the city, and you may have heard some rumors. But it's useless to threaten me with this."

Firman didn't want to waste any more time with this woman, so he got straight to the point: "I came here today with only one goal - to obtain information related to the Duke's Ring. Before I am satisfied, don't even think about leaving!"

Mrs. Ley's face was hidden behind a mask, but even if she couldn't see the expression, just looking at her beautiful eyes, she could read her emotion at this time: sarcasm.

"When the whole city is in chaos, come and force me, a weak woman, Mr. Firman, you are the complete opposite of the word 'knight'."

Firman sneered and began to chant spells. When he put his palms together, a purple-blue electric current condensed and crackled in his palms.

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, Mrs. Ley. If you don't want to turn into a ball of coke, then you can honestly meet my request."

"It turns out that you are a spellcaster... a warlock who is born to control lightning?"

"Good insight." Firman praised, then stretched out his fingertips and pointed forward lightly.

The wooden floor at Mrs. Ley's feet was immediately pierced, leaving only a charred hole.

"My patience is limited, don't delay any longer!" Firman's tone became more and more fierce.

Mrs. Ley shook her head and said softly, "Unfortunately, Firman, you were fooled."

"Tricked? Don't you know the information about the Duke's Ring?"

"No, I do know." Mrs. Ley shook her head and said, "It's just that I released this news on purpose to lure you to come to the moon mask."

At this moment, there were several muffled sounds outside the door.

"Oh, it seems that your subordinates have been killed cleanly by the guards of Lord Marquis."

Firman's expression changed dramatically.

"Secondary Lightning Cage!" At the critical moment, he didn't hesitate, and immediately released the magic spell in his hand, threw a lightning ball, and then quickly stepped back.

Mrs. Ley, on the other hand, lightly opened her vermilion lips, and hurriedly recited a spell.

"I forgot to tell you, I'm also a spellcaster. Although I don't have the innate spellcasting ability bestowed by the Seven Saints like you, I have mastered a lot of illusions through hard work."

Firman was surprised to find that the scenery in front of him suddenly rippled, and everything began to distort.

When everything returned to normal after a breath, he saw an extra person in the room.

"Yofu Ma!"

Ma Youfu ignored the other party's exclamation.

He just stretched out his hand lightly.The purple sphere hovering in the center of the room, about to release the violent lightning energy, immediately disappeared without a trace.

"This is...a five-ring spell, the energy disintegrates!"

"Correct. Since there are already two casters in the room, one more is fine." Ma Youfu spread his hands, then pulled out the silver revolver and pointed it at Firman.

After returning to France in the spring, Ma Youfu made every effort to prepare for the war, and at the same time he did not stop learning magic.

A few months have passed, and he has advanced three levels to become a ninth-level artificer, and he has also successfully mastered the fifth-level spells.

Firman is just a little warlock who can cast three-ring spells, and he is no match for him in magic battles.It's just that Ma Youfu is still used to solving problems with bullets.

"and many more!"

He was about to pull the trigger when Mrs Ley stopped him.

"My lord, according to the agreement, I should kill him with my own hands."

That morning, Mrs. Ley made a proposal to Mayouf.She was willing to use the reliable information of the Duke's Ring in exchange for his help to kill Firman.

Ma Youfu didn't delve into the hatred between the old bustard and the oily rich man.Both of them are local snakes in Rouen, so it's not surprising that they get into trouble occasionally.

In fact, he has already seen that Firman is an unstable factor, and he is also a little interested in the Duke's Ring, so he agreed to her suggestion.

Coincidentally, Firman can also be used as bait to catch all the people in Rouen who pretended to submit to England but are still loyal to England, and then catch them all.

There is no way, victory comes too fast and too easily, and many hidden dangers will inevitably be left behind.

Sending troops to recover the other towns in Normandy one by one must be done as soon as possible.Therefore, Ma Youfu could only order Joan of Arc to lead troops to attack while preparing for the Rouen rebellion.

The plan went well.If Mrs. Ley hadn't requested to help her catch Firman with her own hands, Ma Youfu would never have appeared in the moon mask.

Majestic Marquis, wouldn't it be good to stay in the safety of the castle and give orders?

Originally, he wanted to kill Firman with one shot, but Ma Youfu had no choice but to give up after Mrs. Ley spoke up.

Just as Firman heaved a sigh of relief and reached into his pocket to take out the magic scroll, two gunshots came!

Firman screamed and fell to the ground clutching his right hand.

"I shot him in the right hand and in the right leg. This guy can't cast spells, let alone run away. Now, you can slowly enjoy the fun of revenge, ma'am." Ma Youfu put away the pistol and gestured gesture.

Chapter 250 Eight Arcane Deception

Leaving Mrs. Ley's room, Ma Youfu closed the door to isolate Firman's groans and screams.How Mrs. Ley takes care of Firman is her own business.This kind of little person who is destined not to live tomorrow is not worth his troubles.

When he came outside the moon mask, he whistled.Soon, a light figure landed in front of him, and the breeze around him smelled of green grass.

"How is the enemy's movement?" Ma Youfu asked.

An Wen, who had been watching the wind on the roof of the moon mask just now, said: "Everything is going according to plan. Now the enemy has poured into the Duke's Palace. I guess they want to find the gold and silver stored in the secret mint as soon as possible..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a huge ball of fire rising from the city of Rouen in the distance.

It is well known that light travels faster than sound.So Ma Youfu heard the deafening explosion after a few seconds.

The explosion was extremely violent. Not only did the foot feel the obvious shock, but even the glass windows that the moon mask spent a lot of money shattered a lot.

When attacking Rouen on the dragon head ship, Ma Youfu's army did not carry artillery, but the city of Rouen did not lack firearms.Moreover, as England's material distribution center, a large amount of gunpowder is also stored here.After occupying the city, Ma Youfu naturally used the supplies.

Among the many cannons on the city wall of Rouen, Ma Youfu selected [-] new cannons that were lighter and more technologically advanced and handed them over to Joan of Arc.In this way, when she retakes other Norman towns, she will not lack siege weapons if she encounters resistance.

Ma Youfu let his golem and the most conspicuous orc guards in the crowd follow Joan to go out together, creating the illusion that "Ma Youfu is not in Rouen" to the enemy.

Originally, according to the plan, after Joan captured Caen, she led the army back quietly and stationed in the forest near the Penteiras Bridge.When they waited for Firman and others to launch a rebellion, they immediately led the army back to wipe out the rebels with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and completely stabilized the situation in Rouen.

Who knew that an accident completely messed up the plan.

When Joan of Arc arrived in Caen, she found that it had become an empty city, and occupied it effortlessly.But who knew that Fastov had already ambushed dozens of dead soldiers when he evacuated, and even set up delay-triggered flame formations at some key locations.

That night, a fire broke out in Caen, which not only caused the French army to lose a lot of supplies, but also forced Joan to stay in Caen for a few more days to direct disaster relief and relief work for civilians.

Just at this time, Ma Youfu got the news that Fastov's army was only two days away from Rouen.

At this time, Joan of Arc's army had just set off from Caen, 120 kilometers away from Rouen, and it was absolutely impossible to arrive before Fastov.

It is common for plans to fail to keep up with changes. What tests the ability of decision makers is whether they can respond to these changes in a timely manner.

After thinking about it, Ma Youfu decided to launch the "fishing plan" in advance to solve the unstable internal factors first.Afterwards, as long as you successfully hold the city for a few days, wait until Joan of Arc returns with his army.

Therefore, Ma Youfu first activated the Forbidden Magic Circle pre-set near the mansion in Rabat to cut off their connection with the Duke of Bedford.False messages were then sent to Firman and Baron Thomas.

It is not easy to achieve this kind of arcane deception.

First of all, when Ma Youfu captured Rouen, he seized the signet ring of Baron Thomas, and then cracked the rune code used by England for communication, which provided the basis for passing false information.

In essence, the communication technique is actually a kind of space magic.The core secret is to use the power of the fissure gem to create a subplane pathway and shorten the physical distance between the communicating parties in the main material world.

If you put aside the content about space magic, the communication technique is actually a ring spell, just like the "sound transmission in the secret room", the casting distance does not exceed the range of a room.

Therefore, most spellcasters can learn this spell.

But in actual application, with the addition of space magic, the threshold is much higher.

The caster needs to set up a huge magic circle with the fissure gem as the core.And in order to ensure stability, another magic ceremony must be performed to obtain the blessing of Mirna, the goddess of luck, to increase the success rate.

It is precisely because of such complicated pre-conditions that it is extremely costly to cast or even receive the communication technique and cannot be popularized.

However, it is precisely because of this objective condition that Ma Youfu can interfere with the communication circle in the Rabat family.

As a ninth-level magician, Ma Youfu's magic attainments crushed the Rabat family mages, and finally successfully passed the false news to Firman, making the other party think that the Duke of Bedford had defeated the French army and was rapidly advancing north. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will be able to arrive in Rouen.

In fact, after the defeat of the British army at Pontoise, the next move is still unclear.

Although the fish has successfully bit the bait, how to kill the fish still needs to be carefully planned.

Firman only saw that Joan of Arc took away all 500 French troops, but he didn't know that [-] of these French troops were actually militias temporarily provided by Manase and Ambrois.

Relying on this little trick, Ma Youfu successfully hid five hundred elite French troops in the Castle of Rouen.

What they consumed were all the supplies that the British army had hoarded in the castle. The trucks that went in and out of the castle every day could only provide food for dozens of people at best, so Firman's eyes and ears didn't notice it at all.

It is not easy for five hundred defenders to fight against more than two thousand rebels.So Ma Youfu simply got ruthless and turned the Duke's Palace into a huge trap.The big explosion just now, although the specific results of the battle are not known, must have wiped out a large number of enemy troops and severely damaged the morale of the opponent.

The third Earl of Rouen once built a secret road leading from the castle to the Seine.Ma Youfu used this road to go to the moon mask.

Now that the matter was done, he took An Wen and the other guards back the same way.By the time Ma Youfu stood on the city wall, there were far fewer enemies under the wall, and there were about 600 people left.

"Rachel, attack as soon as you hear the horn blowing."

"Obey, Lord Marquis, I will kill all the enemies." Lahair licked his lips, with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.

At this time, when the British army under the castle saw Ma Youfu and the Earl of Rouen's flag erected behind him, they were in chaos.

Baron Thomas, who was surrounded by several knights, turned even paler when he saw this scene.

Chapter 250 IX The Battle Ends, Peace Talks Begin

When the explosion sounded from the Duke's Palace, Baron Thomas actually felt that something was wrong. His carefully prepared plan to recapture Rouen might have been discovered by the enemy long ago, and corresponding arrangements had been made.

The commander he sent to attack the Duke's Palace was a "semi-noble" named Andrew.He was born as a knight squire, and got the opportunity to lead the army independently during the Hundred Years' War. At most, he led two companies of infantry.He made a fortune from the war, bought land in Normandy, and became a respectable country gentleman after leaving the army.

So when Ma Youfu confiscated most of his property, Andrew resolutely chose to resist.

Baron Thomas took a fancy to Andrew's military ability and determination to fight against France, and sent him 500 people to attack the Duke's Palace.

Like Rouen Castle, the Duke's Palace is one of the most important military buildings in the city. As long as it is captured here, half of the victory will be won.Moreover, as long as you get the gold and silver stored in the Duke's Palace, you can buy more civilians to join the riot.

Then, an explosion completely shattered Baron Thomas' hopes of victory.

"Ma Youfu has always been hiding in Rouen, and in order to defeat me, he is willing to pay such a high price, even destroying the Duke's Palace..." Baron Thomas realized that he was inferior to the other party in terms of wisdom and determination.
