Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

Of course, the money goes beyond that.After the peace was negotiated, Dunois would carry the remaining money and go to the territories of the Orleans and Bourbon families to recruit troops in his own capacity to prepare for the attack on Paris.

Two days later, the troops promised by the three generals arrived at Chalon.The men and horses they supported Joan of Arc were actually heavy cavalry with good combat power, not the conscripts who were indiscriminate.

Youf Ma once again had an intuitive impression of Joan of Arc's influence in the French army.

Given that his experience of commanding in battle was about zero, Ma Youfu simply included his army under Joan of Arc and made her the commander-in-chief.

In this way, Joan of Arc had an army of about [-] people, complete with cavalry and artillery.

The next step is to continue to reinforce the fortifications, enhance combat readiness, and wait for the British to come to the door.

Yofu Ma is actually looking forward to this day coming as soon as possible.Killing the Viking leader earlier would also allow Joan to get rid of the pain of the curse earlier.

Two days later, instead of the British, the Burgundians came.

Philip III's team was finally long overdue.

At this time, the envoys sent by the four countries of Iberia, the Italian states, the Holy Roman Emperor and princes, Poland, Hungary, Denmark, Scotland, etc., etc., also gathered in Chalon.

The Chalon Conference, which is about to completely change the political situation in Western Europe, have a profound impact on future generations, and go down in history, officially began.

After a series of ceremonies performed by venerable priests, the meeting got to the point.

In the preliminary preparations, the two parties of Faber have reached a consensus on major interests, so the meeting process was almost without danger.Although Charles VII and Philip III were fussing over some small details, quarreling endlessly, but in the end, under the witness of the Seven Saints, they signed a solemn peace treaty.

France successfully disintegrated the alliance between England and Burgundy, which greatly reversed the strategic situation of the Hundred Years War.

Burgundy has also achieved its coveted independence, and this wealthy duchy will play an increasingly important role on the European political stage under the leadership of Philip III.

That night, Charles VII and Philip III had a feast for the ministers and had a drunken break.

Chapter 97 Kingdoms Rise and Fall, Here Comes the Battle

When the nobles of France and Burgundy were drinking fine wine at the celebration banquet in Chalon, Quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame de Paris, was carrying an oil lamp and ascending the bell tower.

Some people say that the bell tower makes strange noises every night.Quasimodo had to come and double-check to make sure everything was in order and would not affect the timekeeping.Otherwise, he will be punished by the bishop and deducted from his meager salary.

"It should be those nasty mice..." Quasimodo muttered and prepared to go back to the room to sleep.

The cold wind whistled outside the clock tower, making Quasimodo shiver.He tightened his tattered winter coat and glanced outside subconsciously.

Boom!

Because the bell ringer was too surprised, the whole person seemed to freeze, and the oil lamp in his hand fell to the ground.

I saw a huge fleet that stretched to the sky appeared on the Seine, almost completely covering the river.These boats are slender and flexible, the bows are carved with ferocious dragon heads, and the open sails are painted with peculiar patterns that Europeans have never seen before, exuding golden light.

In this dark winter night, it seems that countless little suns are rising.

After the fleet arrived at Citi Island, where Notre Dame is located, it slowly docked on the shore.

For thousands of years, the fear gene for Vikings, buried in the bones of Parisians, seems to be activated in Quasimodo at this time.He seemed to have seen the tragic scene of the Vikings' siege of Paris during the Frankish Empire.

"Seven saints, my God, the enemy is attacking!" Quasimodo shouted, rushing down the bell tower.

……

"Which idiot is yelling?" The British commander, John Fastov, was standing in front of a Viking dragon-headed captain's ship, frowning, looking at the sparkling Notre Dame Cathedral in the distance.

For this military operation, the whole of England is doing its best to keep secrets, and he doesn't want to get to the last minute, because some insignificant little people have broken big things.

"Rest assured, Sir Fastov, with these magically blessed Viking longships, we will be able to pass through the French defenses before dawn. When the army comes to Chalons, Charles VII and Philip III will surely be I didn't respond." Bishop Bovin said.

He had put on full-body plate armor, ready to go into battle with a warhammer in one hand and St. George's Cross in the other.

With Joan of Arc in the French army, even the most cowardly militiamen are full of courage.In order to offset the enemy's advantage, the British army must also be equipped with high-ranking priests to boost morale and convince the soldiers that the Seven Sages are still on their side.

Bishop Bowenbo raised a considerable amount of money for the war through constant lobbying in England.The nobles even spontaneously formed an elite force composed of a thousand longbowmen and five hundred knights, and gave him command.

Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, helped him a lot.

When King Henry V died, he left two regents for the young Henry VI - the Duke of Bedford and the Duke of Gloucester.

Among them, the Duke of Bedford manages everything in British France, while the Duke of Gloucester sits in England.

The Duke of Gloucester knew very well that if England was completely defeated by France and evacuated from the mainland, the Duke of Bedford would definitely have a conflict of rights with himself when he returned to England.

After all, little London could not hold two regents.

Therefore, the Duke of Gloucester spared no effort to support this military operation. Not only did he provide money, but he also hired [-] German mercenaries for the Duke of Bedford through the relationship of a large Lübeck merchant.

A total of 2000 local reinforcements, with a large amount of luggage, crossed the sea and assembled in Calais.Then join the Viking fleet going south, and take a flexible Viking longship down the Seine River to Paris.

Here, the Duke of Bedford's [-] infantry, composed mainly of city militias and recruited woolen soldiers, also boarded Viking longships.

Plus a thousand Dark Vikings, a total of 8000 troops will set sail in the early morning and head towards Sharon with lightning speed.

"Sir Fastov, you and I know that kingdoms rise and fall, and it's here to fight. If we fail, England will sooner or later completely withdraw from the continent and become a second-rate, insignificant country in Europe." Tall, ruddy, and neatly trimmed The neat Duke of Bedford looked at the commander-in-chief he had entrusted with him.

Compared with star-studded France, England today is very short of talent.

During the Siege of Orleans, Henry V's favorite general, Thomas Montagu, who was later described by Shakespeare as "like a murderer", was bombarded in the face.

The French army spread out, is a cannon that eroded dozens of miles and killed the enemy chieftain.

Another heavy commander, John Talbot, was captured at the Battle of Patty and is still under house arrest in the French castle, smiling and eating white Séris bread with amber sugar every day.

The only one qualified to direct this battle is Fastov.

The 52-year-old veteran Fastov nodded solemnly: "I understand, the Regent. I have already lost to that French witch once in the Battle of Pati, and this situation will not happen again. I swear by the name of Saint George, I will capture Chalon, and let the false king of France and the treacherous Duke of Burgundy spend the rest of his life in the Tower of London!"

After narrowly escaping at the Battle of Patty, Fastov was once suspected of being greedy for life, abandoned his comrades, and was almost stripped of the Order of the Garter.

But the Duke of Bedford finally decided to believe him.Hope that the fire of vengeance burning in the heart will allow the veteran to defeat the hateful French witch.

Compared with the English troops who were noisy and chaotic when boarding the ship, and people accidentally fell into the Seine from time to time, the battleship carrying the Vikings was unusually quiet.

Their leader, Grim Estrasson, who had fought Joan of Arc in the forest of Troyes, was passing on an order.

"Yesterday, the sun brought the revelation of Quetzalkot Yar. It tells us that the biggest obstacle for the empire to conquer the old continent is not the enemy's sword, but the plague on them! The four evil gods of the apocalypse - war, disaster, Plague and corruption once ravaged this land and left countless scars. Among them, the most dreaded of the empire is the plague power that still remains in the bodies of the people of the old continent.

"The physique of the people of the Old World has developed resistance and can coexist with the residual plague power. However, the imperial army, who has never been exposed to this power, is likely to quickly become sick and die in large numbers once it sets foot on this land. After the war, we Collect as many corpses as you can - whether French or English, or the dead in other areas. Provide enough samples for the imperial priests to find a way to resist the plague power as soon as possible. This process may take a long time. Years, even decades. But one day, the boots of the children of the sun will set foot on this land!"

Chapter 98 The Peacemakers

The dark Vikings who believe in the gods of the evil sun are like a beast that is sharpening its claws and ready to pounce on its prey at any time.

But even these fearsome warriors shunned the longships that carried Le Camus.

This crazy astrologer is leading a group of members of the "New World Order" in black robes to carry out the ritual religiously.

"A new world will come, only believers can be redeemed..."

After praying to the only God in his heart, he stood up.

Even such a simple action left Le Camus gasping for breath.

He clearly realized that this body was aging rapidly and was about to come to an end.

Magic rituals can allow ordinary people to control extraordinary power, and also allow spellcasters to use spells beyond their own limits.

In the previous battle at the Troyes Forest, in order to prevent Joan of Arc from evacuating, Le Camus used a magical ritual to provoke a small earthquake.He succeeded, but he also paid a great price, sacrificing a lot of life force to the gods.

Feeling like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time, Le Camus pinned his hopes on this military operation.

"Come on, my plan is still missing the last piece of the puzzle. As long as the blood of the two monarchs is collected, it will be done."

In the low sound of the horn, all of them boarded the ship, and the assembled English army set sail again.

On the banks of the Marne, on the vast plains of Catalonia, they will attack the French and decide who will dominate Western Europe for centuries to come—as ten centuries ago, in the same place Aetius and Attila above all.

……

At the celebration party last night, Yoof Ma didn't drink much.He didn't want to indulge himself when the enemy could come at any time.

As awake as Mayouf, and Dinois.Walgar is an exception.This dwarf showed no restraint in the face of wine and food.It's just that his alcohol intake is too good, unless he is deliberately drunk because he is in a bad mood, few humans can get him drunk.

Yoo Ma woke up very early.After washing up, he decided to check on Joan of Arc.

The girl's spirit was not very good last night, and she left the banquet hall early. It is estimated that the curse situation has worsened again.

Counting the time, An Wen should have returned from Sherwood Forest.After his elf servants bring back the special weapons that can restrain the Vikings, even if they are fully prepared, they will only wait for the enemy to come to the door.

Coming to Joan of Arc's room, Yoof Ma saw that she was wearing armor with the help of a maid.These days, she is always patrolling the barracks in full uniform, boosting morale, urging training, and doing battle preparations wholeheartedly.In the cheers and longing eyes of the soldiers, she showed no signs of fatigue.

Only when I get along with Yo-Fu Ma every night and learn to write, I often show tiredness, lean on his shoulder and fall asleep.

Youfu Ma really admires and loves such a girl.

"Ah, teacher, good morning." Jeanne happily greeted Youfu Ma.

"Good morning, Jeanne."

Youfu Ma saw that the little maid was struggling to pick up the breastplate and wanted to put it on Joan of Arc, but she couldn't do it. His face flushed with anxiety, so he walked over and gave him a hand: "I'll come, you go and clean up the rest. Stuff. For a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, this armor is really too heavy. Only Jeanne, who has been blessed by the Seven Saints, can wear this armor and move freely, and even men have to be humble."

"Thank you, Lord Count." The little maid bowed her head and ran away.

Youfu Ma devoted himself to dealing with the leather buttons one by one, while admiring the girl up close.

Her body is well-proportioned, and although there is a huge amount of power in her body, she does not have the kind of muscle mass that destroys the beauty.Compared with the pampered lady of the Queen of Anjou, there is a healthy and natural beauty.

Joan of Arc quietly let Yofu Ma play with it.The two were so close, she could even feel the heat radiating from each other.

This subtle atmosphere made the girl's earlobes hot, and her thoughts drifted farther and farther.

"Okay." Youfu Ma patted Joan on the shoulder.Her shoulder armor, after being hit with an ax by a Viking, has now been repaired and there is no trace of it.

Joan of Arc came to her senses and said, "Thank you, teacher."

"After you read the gift I gave you, thank you again." Youfu Ma laughed.He then handed Joan of Arc a black box.

The girl opened the box and found a metal object with a wooden handle and a silver body lying inside, looking puzzled.

"It's a one-handed musket that I call the 'Peacemaker'."

A few days ago, when the calendar turned to December, Ma Youfu couldn't wait to open the refreshed system store.

In November, he accomplished a lot of achievements, including "Traveler II", "Destroy those bones!", "Gourmet preacher III", "Worrying a hundred thousand gold", "The capitalist is myself", " "Army of Thousands", "The Queen's Taste", etc., gained a total of 300 administrative points, 280 diplomatic points, and 360 military points.

However, the products provided by the system store this time are not very useful.

What administrative points can buy is the feature of "Latin Master".Obviously, the function overlaps with the "Language Expert" feature Ma Yof currently holds, and it is not worth buying.

The diplomatic point purchase is a way to exchange points for currency. 1 point can be exchanged for 100 livres.

For Yofu Ma, who is not short of money these days, it is of little use.

Only the third item made Yo-Fu Ma immediately excited and bought it for 300 military points.
