Chapter 337
He (Charles VII) previously supported Joan of Arc and the others in the war. He didn't just want to capture Reims and be crowned legitimately!
In order to make his identity as a king "justifiable".
After finally becoming a king...
The cowardice in his bones began to show. Hidi guessed it all maliciously.
...Speaking of which, Giles' parents also died on the battlefield after the armistice agreement between Britain and France ended.
Hitty couldn't help but think that Giles must be very angry after hearing the news!
His cruelty to the English soldiers was not without his hatred of the English which caused his miserable childhood.
If his parents hadn't died on the battlefield against England, he wouldn't have been controlled and raised by his hateful grandfather until he became an adult.
But now His Majesty the King to whom he is loyal, the Seventh King who awarded him the title of Marshal of France, wants to negotiate peace with their enemies——
How similar this scene is!
Just like Gilles before he met Joan of Arc.
When the previous superior to whom he was loyal, a certain Duke, defected to England.
Just like the time when Charles VII didn't have much will to fight!
If it hadn't been for Joan of Arc's appearance, Giles might still have been gloomy and negative at this time!
As a result, this started again?
Chapter 508 Why not draw that sword? Joan of Arc.
‘On September 8, Joan of Arc led her army to attack the Porte Saint-Vonole in Paris, but this attack was not supported by other French commanders.
Although Joan of Arc successfully broke through the trench, she was unable to cross the inner moat and had to retreat. Even more unfortunately, Joan was wounded in the thigh by a crossbow during the battle. At Joan's request, Gill covered her retreat. ’ This paragraph is a portrayal of Joan of Arc’s last war.
The next day, Gill received an order from his kinsman, the Duke of La Trémoire, to evacuate the battlefield. At the end of September, Gill received a commendation from Charles VII and received a coat of arms with a golden lily.
The epic mentions the golden lily, which is the national flower of France.
"The Mighty Lord, the Successor of Toad, will bend the universe to his power."
This is Nostradamus' prediction of Louis XIV's rise to power in "Century". The most impressive thing is naturally the metaphor of Louis XIV in the prophecy.
Why Nostradamus would use a toad to allude to the French king, this involves the legend of the French golden lily pattern.
After his conversion to Christianity, Clovis I adopted the golden lily as his coat of arms, known as the Joyenwal Legend. There are many versions of this legend, but the basic content of the legend is that Clovis I fought against the Alemannic tribe at the Battle of Thurpixi and won because of the golden lily pattern given by God.
(Note: The golden lily pattern is the iris pattern. Irises have three petals and three sepals, while lilies mostly have six petals. The ancient Franks may have mistaken the yellow iris for the golden lily)
That is the same pattern as the pattern on Joan of Arc's flag, and it is also a symbol of victory and sanctity.
It can be said to be the highest honor in France——
It is not real power, but it is more prominent and precious.
One can imagine how much Charles VII valued Giles.
However, this regard made Giles gloomy, painful and tormented.
Rather than accepting such a reward——
He was even more disgusted with those who encouraged the king to abandon his strategy of continuing to recapture Paris.
Are the French really just weak at heart?
Even Joan of Arc, a young girl, worked hard without caring about her own safety, even though she was seriously injured several times and still had to stand at the forefront of the battlefield.
But the people at the rear began to talk about peace talks.
The English had no intention of having a good peace negotiation at all. While delaying the process, they continued to set up defense lines——
...The actions of Charles VII and others are so ridiculous and stupid.
But this is not the end——
Everyone looked behind the epic.
Soon, the plot reached an important turning point.
' Joan spent the battle-free months of November and December at La-Charité-sur-Loire, then went to Lagny-sur-Marne the following March, and on 13 May Compiègne held off the English and Burgundian attacks.
In a skirmish on May 23, 1930, Joan of Arc was captured. ’
The saint was captured;
"...!! Joan of Arc!" Giles couldn't accept the news at all, and he wanted to lead his troops to rescue Joan of Arc.
Especially since there is a very subtle and disgusting plot.
People see that description in the text.
'When she ordered the army to retreat back to Compiègne, she was at the rear of the army to ensure that everyone returned to the city. But at this time, Compiègne was afraid that the British army would follow them and did not wait until everyone The troops withdrew and closed the city gates. Joan of Arc and the remaining rearguard troops were captured by the Burgundians. ’
Joan of Arc was not captured directly.
It was because of the fear in the hearts of the troops who had retreated while hiding in the city of Compiègne that they abandoned the saint they once admired and followed.
Due to Joan of Arc's brave act of breaking off the queen, the soldiers who escaped from danger not only failed to stand up in the critical moment, but actually forced the saint to retreat outside alive.
In the eyes of the marshal, this was a betrayal of Joan of Arc.
Those cowardly and incompetent soldiers - even if all the lives were added up, they were not as important as Joan of Arc.
Unfortunately, Joan of Arc was captured, but King Charles was so angry that he had no intention of rescuing her.
The custom regarding captives at that time was that as long as the captive's family could pay the ransom, he could be ransomed, but this time the Burgundians did not want to do that.
People showed expressions of bewilderment and disbelief, and the young nobles even began to accuse Charles VII of not trying hard to rescue. This king is really an embarrassment to his country.
However, Hermitos and the older nobles quickly understood it after seeing such a plot.
The king may not have forgotten Joan's kindness to France, but he is worried that the saint's reputation in France is too strong!
This is because he is worried that his throne is unstable!
Then there are passages in the book describing Joan's escape: "She tried to escape several times, and once she even jumped from a 70-foot tower (the data has been modified to another figure in the eyes of people from another world), and fell On the soft mud of the dry moat without serious injury.
After some negotiations, Duke Philip handed Joan over to England. Pierre Cauchon, a bishop in Beauvais in northern France who played a key role in these negotiations and the subsequent trial, was a strong supporter of England and felt it was his duty to ensure that Joan was punished. ’
There is no doubt——
Falling from such a high place.
Even a berserker who specializes in cultivating physical strength cannot guarantee that he will not suffer any injuries. However, Joan of Arc was not seriously injured.
It seemed that the gods were still helping her secretly.
However, the gods did not help her escape successfully in the end!
People are seeing that Joan of Arc is about to be tried at the end...
Thinking of the suggestive words that Joan of Arc would be sentenced to death, I felt a little nervous and uneasy for a while.
Coming?
But how long has it been since Joan of Arc stepped forward and led France to victory? !
Everyone was shocked!
Although they thought that there would be such a day in the plot, they did not expect that it would come so quickly.
Doesn't that mean that the only time Joan of Arc truly shined was those short "months"?
And on the other side——
A man fell into amnesia, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was in a state of extreme terror: French Marshal Gilles.
At this moment, his mind was recalling the scene when he got along with Jeanne.
He suddenly recalled that memory.
'Do you know the legend of the sword and Joan of Arc? ’ the narrator asked.
She always inspires Giles and others by waving the flag, and joins the front line of the battle——.
But she never drew the sword.
The name of that sword is exactly - St. Catherine's Sword!
But Giles kept hesitating and doubting, and finally asked Joan of Arc such a question one day.
He asked Joan of Arc if she was reluctant to pull out the sword because she was worried that her hands would be stained with blood!
Thinking of Joan's answer at that time, and the soldiers' behavior of abandoning her and betraying her later, Giles trembled all over and suddenly burst into tears! !
How sinful this is!
Chapter 509: Although she never drew the sword, she shared the sin!
Giles once asked her if she was worried about having blood on her hands.
But she seemed a little surprised when she answered Giles.
"No, from the moment I wave the flag, my hands are the same as yours."
"What's hard to say is that I'm not very good at using swords. I'm sorry..."
The Marshal has always known and always been clear...
‘Although Joan of Arc did not draw her sword.
But she has always shared our sins. ’
This is not what Joan of Arc should have to endure...
At her age, she should be like other girls, when she loves to fantasize innocently.
Instead of hanging out with these smelly, dirty soldiers and officers.
She could have ignored it -
And then this is how Joan of Arc was betrayed.
Because Charles VII and other French nobles were ‘unable’ to ransom her. Finally, Joan of Arc was burned on the stake in Rouen on May 30, 1931, at the age of 19.
"..." Joan of Arc.
Read your ending again.
Jeanne's heart was a little complicated, but she didn't have any feelings of hatred.
She doesn't blame anyone -
Even if those French troops abandoned her.
This is her nature, the kindness in her bones that embraces all things.
And Joan of Arc has never regretted saving her hometown——
Even after her death, in the eyes of French Marshal Gilles, that hometown was an out-and-out sinful place, a place that needed to be destroyed.
Finally, when I saw Giles, I burst into tears as I recalled that scene.
Joan of Arc also remembered the scene of that day.
She suddenly felt a little sad. She had said something before she was alive, but she didn't have time to say it to Jill——
In fact, she was very happy to be able to fight side by side with Jill.
If she could, she wished she could tell Giles that there was no need to grieve over his death.
…
On the other side, Jenny, as the original owner of the body, saw a scene appearing in a dream, and it appeared so clearly in front of her eyes, and she took a deep breath with some excitement.
‘That’s it——
At the end of the dream, I was sent to the stake as a heretic. 'She remembered everything.
If Jenny remembered correctly, ‘I’ also sought help from people around me, and finally got a cross from a little girl.
But at the moment when the flames of pain burned her body, her heart was so calm.
No hatred, no complaints——
“No…that’s not me. Is it you? Joan of Arc!” Jenny suddenly widened her eyes, as if she understood something in her mind, and spoke anxiously.
But no one responded to her.
