Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

The two entered the bedroom silently.

Youfu Ma sat down on the sofa without restraint, just like the host.

"I'll pour you a drink." Mrs. Anne, who blushed like a cloud, walked to the wine cabinet.

Youfu Ma doesn't mind using fine wine to create an ambiguous atmosphere - of course, the amount should still be controlled. If the chain falls at a critical moment due to excessive alcohol intake, it will be a big shame.

While Mrs. Anne was busy, Yofu Ma picked up the manuscript on the small table and flipped through it at will.

This is the magic modified version of "Romeo and Juliet" - "Frederick and Teresa" written by Yofu Ma.

Madame Anne, as his writing secretary in Ghent, has always been the number one reader of this book, and Yofu Ma generously asked her to transcribe all the unpublished manuscripts.

When Mrs. Anne returned with two glasses of wine, she found Yofu Ma casually flipping through the manuscript, and immediately showed a state of embarrassment.Because in these manuscripts, after the male and female protagonists met, they were enthusiastic in the wilderness of Silesia, and applauded for love. can perceive.

"Lord Marquis, please stop reading..."

"Then it depends on how you accompany me to relieve my boredom, like this..." Youfu Ma stretched out his hand and pulled it gently, making Madam Anne feel tired in his arms.

Madam Anne blushed and struggled twice, then gave up her resistance and let the two of them get closer and closer.

When the man's hand slowly climbed up, Madam Anne became more and more flustered.She wanted to back down from the battle, so she found a reason she thought was perfect, and hoped that Yofu Ma would regain his rationality.

"Lord Marquis, don't... Mary will be your wife, and I am her aunt..."

Youfu Ma was taken aback.

He carefully looked at the face of the woman in front of him.

Delicate melon seed face, delicate and soft facial features, if born in the East, it must be a typical ladylike temperament.And it is indeed somewhat similar to the little princess Mary.

He swallowed and his breathing became heavier: "Wouldn't that make me more excited? Sooner or later, you and Mary will be together..."

……

At noon the next day, Mrs. Anne, who was radiant with the nourishment of the night, woke up from the bed.The man who made her feel both guilty and crazy had already left without even leaving a trace of warmth in the bed.

"That's fine. After returning to Paris, I will still be the perfect Duchess in the eyes of others. Maybe in a year or two, that man will forget me..." Madame Anne thought a little sadly.

Of course, she wouldn't know that the reunion of the two would be in the not too distant future.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, seeing a letter and an exquisite box left by Yofu Ma, Madam Anne's melancholy disappeared immediately.

Yof Ma left Mrs. Anne with two gifts.

One is a sterling silver necklace.There is a constant secondary healing spell on it - this is what Mayoufu asked Priest Milot to do.

With this magical halo, it can be guaranteed that Mrs. Anne will not be easily infected even if she lives in an unsanitary environment like Paris.

In addition, Ma Youfu also stored a stealth spell and a mage armor in the necklace, so that the wearer has a certain self-protection ability in an emergency.

After all, Paris will soon be at war.Although in the identity of Mrs. Anne, there will be no danger.But the army is in chaos, what if this lady is left alone and encounters a red-eyed army?

Another gift is a magical scroll made by Yofu Ma infused with nano-magic power on parchment that has undergone special magic treatment.

After the user rips the scroll, the nano-power penetrates into the body and repairs the wound.

Of course, what Yof Ma said to Mrs. Anne was "a new type of healing scroll with miraculous powers."And he stated in the letter that this scroll was a gift to the Duke of Bedford to cure the old disease in his body.

Sending this scroll is to fulfill his promise.Second, it can ease Mrs. Anne's guilt.In this way, when the two have an affair again in the future, Mrs. Anne will be less worried and more open.

After all, it would be impossible for Mrs. Anne to have an intimate relationship with Yof Ma without all sorts of accidental factors.

The lover of a married woman should have a different attitude towards Madame Anne's husband, Margaret's husband, and the husband of the Queen of Anjou.

It is not easy to be Ma Mengde!

An affectionate farewell letter and two thoughtful gifts gave Mrs. Anne the buff of "he has me in his heart".With joy, she bid farewell to her brother in the afternoon and set off for Paris.

Escorted by the brigade of soldiers and servants, the French regent's team passed through the "enemy-occupied area" smoothly and arrived in Paris as a hero.

Although in England's official publicity, the Archbishop of Beaufort was the key figure in bringing about the armistice between Britain and France.But in the eyes of the people of Paris, their beautiful and noble Duchess is the greatest contributor to bringing peace to the city.

"If it wasn't for Madame Anne's cleverness and wit that convinced the cunning Seris, and if Philip III had not helped his brother-sister relationship, that greedy and incompetent cardinal would have allowed France to suspend the aggressive offensive?"

Chapter 170 Seven Beauty...beautiful warrior?

The citizens of Paris showed great enthusiasm for Madame Anne's return.The motorcade had just entered the outskirts of Paris, when a crowd of people took off their hats and bowed to her.

But behind this happy and peaceful scene, there is a tense and chilling atmosphere.

The reason why so many people gathered on the outskirts of Paris is because the Duke of Bedford mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to repair and strengthen the fortifications of Paris in the season when the snow began to melt when winter came to spring.

Although this French regent yearns for peace more than anyone else, he also knows in his heart how fragile the armistice agreement with France is.

The men who faced the French sword on the mainland were of course better able to see the general trend than the naive nobles in the London court.

With a feeling of waiting, the Duke of Bedford could not wait to act as soon as the weather was barely enough to start construction.

The Archbishop of Beaufort assisted a large amount of Portuguese gold coins, and the city of Paris was on the verge of bankruptcy after a hard winter, and there was no shortage of labor to find a living.

With the above two elements, the city defense construction is progressing very smoothly.

Looking at the construction scene in full swing outside the carriage window, Mrs. Anne was in a complicated mood.

Perhaps in a later TV series, the heroine shouted "don't fight again" when the heroine watched the two male protagonists duel in the heavy rain, which is a reflection of Mrs. Anne's state of mind at this time.

When the carriage came to Bastille, Madame Anne suddenly saw that her husband was standing by the nearby gate of Saint Anthony, surrounded by a dozen knights in bright armor, inspecting the progress of the construction of the city defense project.

"These city walls were planned and built by Charles V nearly 100 years ago, and they are already dilapidated. If they are not repaired and improved, they will not be able to stop the new weapon of artillery! It must be strong enough. And the city walls Broad enough to place our own cannons!"

The Duke of Bedford is in discussions with several architects.

After being reminded by the servant, he saw that his wife's carriage had arrived at the city gate and hurried up to meet him.

"Dear Anne, I haven't seen you all winter. I miss you so much." Opening the curtains and seeing his wife's delicate face, the Duke of Bedford smiled, "You look very good, and you look low. It was a good trip."

Because the ice and snow melted and the ground was muddy, it was inconvenient for ladies in long skirts to walk, so Lady Anne did not get out of the carriage. Instead, the Duke of Bedford got into the carriage and sat opposite his wife.

"You have done a great job and lived up to my expectations. Although Archbishop Beaufort takes credit for the peace talks, I know that without you, it would not have been possible."

His judgment was not wrong.

In fact, the terms of the peace talks between the two parties had already been finalized long before the Ghent weavers’ uprising, and the Archbishop of Beaufort was simply here to pick peaches.

If he insisted that he had contributed anything, it was to keep England's face on the surface, and to turn the ceded land into a sale of land, so as not to ignite the anger of the people after the news of the peace talks reached England.

"I just follow your orders, John." Mrs. Anne felt a little guilty when facing her husband, so she just responded simply and didn't want to talk more.

"After a long journey, you must be tired. Go back and have a good rest first. I will ask the details tomorrow." Duke Bedford was very understanding and didn't ask any more questions. He took his wife's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and then went down car leaves.

After watching his wife's motorcade enter the city of Paris, the Duke of Bedford and the engineers continued to discuss the city defense plan.Not long after, another messenger brought a message.

"The fair regent, from the quay on the right bank of the Seine, came a large fleet, speaking Portuguese, and flying the flag of the House of Avis on the mast."

"It must be the reinforcements sent by Prince Henry! Hahaha!" Duke Bedford laughed excitedly, which made others puzzled.

He patted the able-bodied Count Arundell on the shoulder, looked puzzled, and explained: "This time, the Portuguese have brought us a strong army, and this time we are sure of defeating the French. A bit bigger!"

Count Arundell was dubious.

These Portuguese, who only sailed and fished, were never good fighters.What kind of army do they have?Might as well spend all the money on recruiting German mercenaries.

I heard that the Teutonic Knights are not doing very well recently. If they can hire a serious Teutonic Knight, wouldn't it be better than a hundred Portuguese?

However, when he arrived at the pier, and saw the majestic "cargo" that had come down from the ship in the darkness, Earl Arundell gasped and believed what the Duke of Bedford had said.

These warriors with an average height of two meters and a weight of 120 kilograms, with pointed ears, pig nostrils, and long tusks, are what the Duke of Bedford called a strong army.

"Orcs?"

"To be precise, they are black orcs. Look at their dark brown skin, is it different from the green skin I've seen before?" The leader of the Portuguese fleet, the special envoy of Prince Henry, introduced them to the two Englishmen.

"Apart from the skin color, what's the difference between them and the orcs we usually see?" asked Count Arundell.

These orcs are not only physically strong, but also highly disciplined, completely different from the loose and free green orc slaves that you usually see.

Even if it's a cold day, one by one wearing only a chest wrap and shorts, they don't waver.

Yes, Count Arundell rubbed his eyes again and again, only to realize that he was right, these orcs are actually women!

In the face of the customer's question, the Portuguese special agent introduced: "It is different from the green-skinned orcs who believe in the gods of Mulholland. These black orcs come from the farther south of the African continent. Timbuktu's slave team must first cross the Sahara. The big desert, and then through the savannah full of dangerous monsters, to reach a green death jungle, can you encounter these tribes of black orcs..."

The Portuguese, who occupied Ceuta, an important North African trading post, were not good at fighting, but very good at doing business.They hooked up with Mulholland merchants and opened up a new trade route that could cross the desert and reach the Central African rainforest.

And these black orcs are one of the new products developed by this trade route.

"These black orcs come from an orc race called Feng. And the most fighting tribe among the Feng people is called danxome or danhome, or danhomy..."

The unconventional pronunciation made the two Englishmen sound a little confused.

But if Yoo Ma was here, he would definitely be able to blurt out the correct reading: "Dahomey!"

Dahomey, a virtuous African kingdom known as Black Sparta.The army of women in the country is also known as the black Amazon.

Although it has become a stalk among history buffs in later generations on the Internet because of their special name, remember that they are "Dahomey" women warriors, not "Dahomey" women warriors.

If you have an untimely reverie about this unit because of a phrasing error, these dangerous warriors who come to the African jungle will cost you irreparably.

Chapter 170 Eighth

"Da... He... Mei..." Count Arundell read the tribe names of these black orcs a little bit.

He pointed to a black orc in a gorgeous leopard skin and shouted, "I want to see your bravery with my own eyes!"

The Portuguese envoy murmured a few words to the leopard-skin black orc.The black orc roared, raised the spear in his hand, and threw it fiercely like Zeus throwing lightning!

The spear whizzed past Count Arundell's shoulder, and the sharp ripples that were provoked even cut a wound on his cheek.

Only a "bang" sound was heard, and the spear plunged into a bare tree trunk, blowing the trunk with the thickness of the arm directly in the middle.

In the flying sawdust, Count Arundell was stunned: "The power is comparable to small-caliber artillery or ballista left over from the Roman era... Could it be that these beautiful Daho warriors are professionals?"

"Quasi-professionals. The gods they believe in can quickly and evenly improve the fighting ability of the entire group through some means." The Portuguese explained, "It is precisely with such a strong fighting ability that the Dahomey tribe is It is invincible in the African jungle. Unfortunately, we have not found a route from the sea to Green Africa, otherwise these mercenaries would be more likely to appear on the European battlefield and fight for our interests.”

Historically, the Portuguese did not meet these virtuous Dahomey until they bypassed Cape Bojador and arrived at the Cape Coast of West Africa.

With their strong military strength, they have beaten the surrounding tribes all over, and they also like to engage in primitive blood sacrifices of slaughtering prisoners of war.

When the "kind" Portuguese saw it, he said to the chief Dahomey, "It's better to sell it to us than to kill those strong prisoners of war."

As a result, the Dahomey people started a business of buying and selling black slaves and became a well-earned superior supplier in the triangular trade.

With the advanced weapons obtained from the Europeans, the Dahomey won a series of wars and established a powerful kingdom.

However, after the slave trade was banned in Europe, the kingdom of Dahomey began to decline and eventually became chicken feed for the African rooster France.

As for the Cold War era, Dahomey became independent again, and jumped left and right between the two superpowers, performing a follow-up deed that was enough to do two episodes of the "Wonderful Little Country" program, so I won't go into details.
