- "You are a noble, you are the daughter of a duke, you have a kingdom, you are rich, your father dotes on you, and your mother spoils you! What else do you lack? You have all the good things in the world. ""/""/ And me! My father collects taxes for the king, but there are many people in the family, and my father is often poor. And because I am a girl, my father likes my two brothers more than he loves me, so it doesn¡¯t matter. Later, the war made me unable to My family made me lose my mother. I finally had a person whom the Lord sent to me for me to rely on, but you used witchcraft to take him away! Unforgivable!"
"It's up to you to open your mouth, and it's up to you to keep your mouth shut! You self-deceiving fool!"
The two women fought more and more exaggeratedly, and their scolding voices naturally became louder and louder.
Before the horse even came to a complete stop, Corbin fell off the horse.
He ran over quickly, reached out to grab the sword, blocked it with the left and the right, and finally pushed the two women fighting together. If it hadn't hurt their faces, he really wanted to slap each of them on the buttocks.
Several rays of light pierced his eyes, and Corbin subconsciously swung his sword to block them. After dozens of blows, his legs and feet hurt, and he saw the world spinning. Two loud sounds rang in his ears. Corbin suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and both of them The girl in armor dropped two hundred pounds on him.
On the left, the king of France has eyes burning with fire, and the corners of his mouth are bloodshot. He is holding a sharp dagger in one hand and grabbing at the gap in his breastplate, as if it will be pierced into his neck at the next moment.
On the right, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire has messy hair, fierce eyes, and slightly red and swollen cheeks. The long sword on Corbin's waist has reached her hand at some point, lying across her neck.
Corbin swallowed. Not only was he stressed, but he was also sweating a lot.
"Get up!" Corbin wouldn't be stupid at this time and ask you not to fight or if you have fought enough. The two girls were angry. He suddenly came out and asked the two to turn their attention to him. He would not let them They reignited the war, and Corbyn didn't say anything. Do you want thousands of people to see the two emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and the king of the Kingdom of France lying on the ground for a long time? , at this time, short and powerful orders are the best way to solve the crisis.
Joan of Arc and Isabella glared at each other angrily, and then got up from the ground. One of them handed a hand to Corbin. Corbin thought about what to say next and did not accept the two words. He held the sword in his hand and stood upright.
¡°Go back, I¡¯ll take good care of you tonight!¡± Corbin turned to Isabella and said, which made her snort in dissatisfaction but said nothing. He stabilized the two of them as soon as he opened his mouth.
First of all, Joan raised her eyebrows in protest when she saw Corbin criticizing Isabella first, but when she heard Isabella heard that Corbin was going to deal with Joan now, and what he said Although it was cruel, it didn't matter to Isabella. When she returned, it was her own territory. If she cleaned it up at night, it would be like casting lots in her own little world. Naturally, the degree of being cleaned up would not be serious.
Both girls are biased towards Corbin, and their anger has been reduced a lot.
Thank God, Corbyn suddenly felt like bursting into tears. His godfather has trained his eloquence since he was a child. From a seventy-year-old knight with impotence to a fifteen-year-old reckless young nobleman, he was caught raping in bed, breaking up the other party's adultery facing Neditas I have never seen anything like this that made things difficult for Corbyn.
Seeing Corbin turn around to speak to Joan of Arc, the smile on Isabella's lips was very hidden. She was waiting for a good show.
??Stabilize Isabella and prevent her from speaking actively, so that Corbyn can continue to speak. Otherwise, if Isabella makes a fuss, Corbyn will have nothing to say.
With their eyes facing each other, Corbin brushed the grass clippings from Joan's hair, which made her smile slightly, but the next second, Corbin's question made Joan stunned.
"Why are you here?"
Joan of Arc looked at the ground apologetically: "I'm sorry, you almost died that day."
"Am I still alive? You don't have to feel indebted to me." Corbin only wanted to know the reason for Joan's arrival, "But you have to repent for the thousands of souls who died on this plain that day."
Joan of Arc raised her head suddenly and insisted on her point of view: "I did nothing wrong! Why do you repent?"
Corbyn stared at her and asked: "Then what did you do right?"
Joan of Arc met Corbin¡¯s eyes, her eyes were very serious, and she said without any pretense: ¡°It¡¯s just like you said, protect my country and protect my vassals!¡±
With just one breath, Corbin thought of a way to end this unprovoked war. Corbin laughed as if he had heard a big joke.
"What is he laughing at?" the French nobles whispered to each other.?But what is certain is that he will not harm the king.
"What are you laughing at?" Joan felt the laughter was harsh.
Corbyn said fiercely: "That bastard hiding behind you over there is also my vassal!"
"How is that possible!" Jeanne's eyes widened in surprise. She then regained her composure and replied with certainty, "We are not married!"
"My husband and I are the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Principality of Burgundy is also a member of the Holy Roman Empire! As early as the time of Emperor Conrad II" Isabella jumped out, and she looked at Joan with confused eyes. He added, "About four hundred years ago, Franche-Comt¨¦ was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it has always been our German fiefdom! Moreover, the wife of the Duke of Burgundy, Margaret of Bavaria, Also of German origin.¡±
Isabella never mentioned the lowlands of Flanders. Although Corbin was not as clear as Isabella, he was not without a clear target: "Philip of Burgundy betrayed the prince. This is why I want to attack him." The reason for that.¡±
Now it was Joan of Arc's turn to run out of words. She came to help Philip with the question asked by Philip's envoy. As the king of France, she could not just watch the citizens of the Kingdom of France being violated, but Corbin's reasons for crusading against the traitorous vassals were very good. , in Joan of Arc's thinking logic, it is very important to follow the obligations of both the lord and the vassal.
"Do you really want to fight for a villain? A villain who provokes disputes between two countries and harms countless people under his command." Corbyn doesn't talk about national interests. He has a moral foothold and will be pursued. Hard beating, others would definitely not do this, but Joan of Arc did.
Joan of Arc is in constant distress, and it¡¯s time to take strong medicine.
Joan of Arc felt a heavy weight on her head and heard Corbin say regretfully: "I just regret that I left you too early and didn't have time to tell you everything. Do you know? As a king, Joan of Arc, her subjects can never have more than One, many times, countless subjects will make the choice you make very difficult! And the King Arbiter is often in a dilemma. If you want to be a good king that everyone praises, Joan of Arc, I can tell you, you must Understand a key.¡±
"If killing one person can make thousands of people happy, then kill him! If saving one person can make thousands of people happy, then save him! Is Philip worth saving? Or should I deserve to die? I think, your minister The subordinates are better able to answer your questions." Corbin moved his hand away from Jeanne.
France and Burgundy have deep grudges. Many of Joan's direct descendants are French nobles who are determined to resist the British. Although they are not Armagnacs, they also hate the Burgundians very much. Therefore, they are unwilling to send troops this time. No, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed to rescue him from the Burgundians when I saw him in danger.
As for the Blue Shirts, this army was led by Corbyn. There is no reason for these big-headed soldiers to dare to raise their swords at him. Joan's arrangement placed Philip surrounded by the lords of France.
??In other words, among thousands of troops, taking the enemy's head is like searching for something from a bag!
First of all, alienate the already weak relationship between Philip and the French lord!
"My knights in France, my comrades! Thank you for everything you did for me in the last battle! In my most difficult moment, you extended a helping hand to me!" Corbin stuck his sword on the ground. , bent down and bowed to the knights of France with the dignity of the Holy Roman Emperor.
?? Phillip's eyes showed fear, and his expression became panicked.
"But I have one confusing thing, which makes it very difficult for me to live! My friends who fought together in France! What makes you raise your sword to me on this former battlefield? I am so disgusting ?"
The title of the Knights Order makes the French knights share weal and woe with Corbin. The large amount of gold scattered in Tours makes the French knights feel short-handed and soft-spoken towards Corbin. The Blue Shirts have also received favors from Corbyn, and they know that it was Corbyn who proposed the pardon for them.
The new soldier in blue shirts looked at the many people around him who lowered their heads and asked: "Who is this person?"
"The first legion commander"
"Count B¨¦arne"
¡°The guy who abused us in Tours¡§¡±
"It was he and Mr. Reinstein who were in Turin, walking in front, leading our Blue Shirt Army to attack the enemy"
The answer rang out all around.
"Answer me! Do you really want to kill me? If so, you don't have to do it!" Corbin held the hilt of the knight's sword and put the sharp blade across his neck. "I will kill myself."
It¡¯s very artificial!
Corbyn himself disgusted himself?But the French guys who are not well-informed are very fond of this trick.
"Hey! Don't be stupid!" Joan of Arc rushed up from behind, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and almost let the sword tip touch Corbin's neck, frightening him so much that cold sweat broke out from his back.
Joan of Arc¡¯s shout covered up the scattered shouts, but Corbin finally achieved his goal. He put down the sword with trembling hands and gave Joan of Arc a pale look on his face.
Corbin shouted: "If you are not here to kill me, then why are you here!?"
The French troops looked at each other.
"They are here for our duke!" a Burgundian lord shouted from a corner.
This made Corbin laugh wildly and harshly: "Philippe, Duke of Burgundy? Philippe has the ability to bring the best knights in France together to fight for him? What a joke!"
"He has been a duke for less than ten years. What victory on the battlefield has he achieved that is worthy of praise? He has been a duke for less than ten years. In governing the country, has he ever achieved a victory that is worthy of praise? When John, Duke of Burgundy, was in When he came to power, Burgundy was so powerful and majestic. To the east, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire did not dare to underestimate Burgundy. To the west, the Kingdom of France let Burgundy control it! But now! My Holy Roman Empire army is attacking, Burgundy There were only a few thousand troops in the whole country of Gendy, and everything he passed was desolate. As a duke, he could not bring great military achievements to the country, and as a ruler, he could not bring prosperity to his subjects.
Is such a person worth saving by the entire French knights? Although John the Fearless, the old Duke of Burgundy, is my enemy, I have to admit that his son is simply not like his kind. The current Duke of Burgundy is almost useless compared to his father! The only thing he seemed to have that was better than his father was that he had more mistresses in several years than his father had in his entire life! "
When the two armies are facing each other, the commander should be in the front to observe the enemy's movements and issue orders. Corbin's shout was heard almost word for word by Phillip.
Philip heard the jeers from all around, and he roared: "Kill him! Come on Burgundians, kill him!"
However, Corbyn¡¯s words were not just about ridiculing Philip to embarrass him, he mentioned John the Fearless, which was the terrifying and glorious period of the Principality of Burgundy. Achievements are gained by stepping on the corpses of others. Now, many of the French knights around Philip have experienced his father's prowess.
Rahier and Saintray, two wage earners who have been working with the French royal family since the Battle of Agincourt.
Viscount Narbonne, after the English invasion, was ordered to resist the alliance between Burgundy and England. He was crushed to death several times until he cried for his father.
??Bieil, Count of Sancerre, I am dead, my uncle is dead, and at least half of the named noble relatives of the family are dead.
Pierre, Duke of Alen?on, was hacked to death, and the entire principality was taken away.
Gilbert¡¤The royal marshal of the same period was either killed by the English or chopped down by the Burgundians.
The Count of O'Neill was captured and mistreated by the King of England and Philip, Duke of Burgundy.
Looking around, Philip is surrounded by almost all his enemies. Only Gill is a nobleman from the Principality of Brittany, so he has nothing to do with Burgundy.
And the only one who could shock these people was Joan of Arc, who was far away. Philip was made to sweat coldly by the malicious eyes around him. He yelled and rode away from here.
¡°Where is the Duke going again?¡± Rahil stopped him.
What was originally a subconscious move detonated Philip's fragile nerves. He screamed wildly, drew his sword and went to kill Rachel. Rachel had cut down dozens of times more women than Philip had fucked. When Philip raised his sword, he roared louder than Philip. He blocked Philip with his fist and used his gloves to block the slashing sword edge. .
When he hit a hard object, Philip froze. When he looked up, he saw a fist bigger than a casserole coming towards him.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The Duke of Burgundy flew out of his mount, fell to the ground and covered his face, where he was bleeding, and screamed miserably. The nearby Burgundian attendants drew their swords one after another, and dozens of people rushed up together.
"The Burgundians have rebelled! Kill them!!" Rahil had a hot temper. When he roared, almost the entire army heard it.
First there was a scuffle at Philip's place, and then the chaos spread to the whole army, and then the French and the Burgundians started fighting among themselves.
The Holy Roman Empire coalition forces were shocked. Their emperor was so powerful that he actually made the enemy fight on his own with just a few words!
"Long live the Emperor!""Long live the Emperor!!""Long live the Emperor!"?Long live! ! ! ! "
Corbin quickly covered Joan of Arc and Isabella to retreat.
The Prokop brothers were stunned for a while, and hurriedly led their troops to cover the three Corbins.
Hunyadi came over with a small group of cavalry: "What should we do now?"
Corbyn shouted: ¡°Give me a horse!¡±
Joan of Arc also shouted: "I want one too!"
¡°Corbin, I¡¯ll ride on your horse!¡± Isabella is always so different.
Corbyn shouted to Hunyadi: "Keep our troops still and don't take the initiative to attack!"
Corbin grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Others, follow me."
Corbin has no direct lineage in the Holy Roman Empire. Lorraine belongs to Isabella, Bohemia belongs to the Bohemians, and Luxembourg belongs to friends. These people are currently on his side, but they cannot rely on him forever. The reputation of businessmen in Flanders is cheaper than the integrity of prostitutes. The Burgundian knights who followed Corbin in the first chivalry expedition are Corbin's most needed direct descendants. Philip can die, but they cannot.
Corbin specially found some familiar flags from the past and rushed over, and then used the established facts and coercion to let Joan force her knights to stop fighting with the Burgundian knights. The melee lasted for half a day, with no more than a hundred casualties on both sides. , the Duke of Burgundy died, and almost more than 20% of the Burgundian nobles verbally surrendered to the Metz family of Lorraine.
Viscount Villiers, Baron Massman, and Baron La Rey are all people who can be entrusted with important tasks. With the expansion of its own direct lineage, the Principality of Lorraine also increased its territory. With Dijon as the dividing line, the Duchy of Burgundy was divided into two. The Franche-Comt¨¦ area to the east fell into the pocket of the Duchy of Lorraine. Joan of Arc would not give the territory to the west, which belonged to France. Territory, even if Corbyn wanted it, she would fall out.
Less than a year after Isabella became the Duke of Lorraine, the current Principality of Lorraine reached the Principality of Luxembourg. It annexed many territories of the Bavarian family in the northeast, reaching as far as Stuttgart in the east, the Swiss canton in the south, and reaching Dijon in the southwest. The principality has more than doubled. If you add Corbin's Knights of the Holy Banner, the Kingdom of Bohemia, Flanders, Brabant, and the Netherlands, the Metz family of Lorraine can almost be said to be the entire The second most powerful royal family in Western Europe.
As for the most powerful royal family, it is Joan of Arc who is as pure as a piece of white paper next to Corbin. Lorraine has a large territory, but Bohemia has long since collapsed into a mess, and Flanders is severely weakened. The same goes for France, but before Joan of Arc came, the Duke of Burgundy promised to return the area near Reims and Champagne to the Kingdom of France. As a promise, he also asked each city to hand over the key to the city gate as a symbol. , otherwise, the French parliamentary representatives would not be inclined to Yolande's statement and let the king send troops.
Now, the entire France, except for the Principality of Brittany in the corner and Picardy, which is not taken seriously for the time being, is all under the name of the Kingdom of France. In time, the national power will surely flourish!
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the couch?
Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the Metz family in Lorraine and the Kingdom of France.
This point was proposed by Viscount Villiers, who was eager to make achievements, but the other party's suggestion was not very brilliant in Corbin's opinion. It was nothing more than setting up fortresses in critical terrain.
In every sense, the Lorraine Metz family, whose territory is fragmented and has too many enemies, will be at a certain disadvantage when facing the Kingdom of France. What is even more disturbing is that the Holy Roman Emperor is the only emperor recognized by Christianity in Western Europe. Starting from Charlemagne, he is the leader of the entire Christian Kingdom. However, since Corbin is a vassal of Joan of Arc, he is the leader of the entire Christian Kingdom. He actually has to serve a subordinate. This is a Achilles heel. Unless Corbin can find a way out and give up all his titles, titles, and territories in France, he will be in a very passive position in the challenge of the Lorraine Metz family.
Isabella was restless.
Corbyn is restless.
Joan of Arc was the only one who ate well and slept soundly every day, but her good days came to an end when Reinstein and Valgre arrived. They brought the inside story of Joan's expedition.
The betrayal of almost half of the kingdom made Joan instantly stupid.
