The Dragon That Devours the World

　　 (In the past two days, I went home during the Chinese New Year, so I didn’t update it. Now I have to make up. Although it was said before that no one will watch the New Year, so I am going to change it once a day, but let’s change it twice a day.)

　　 Chinon.

　　 Leaning against the window of the castle, staring out of the window in a daze, it was the gloomy sky covered with clouds, depressing people to breathe, and looking at the sky, the face of the crown prince was silent.

　　"..."

　　 Unconsciously shaking his hands, the prince lowered his head.

　　 Since Jeanna left with the army, Charlie has been depressed and often in a daze, because for him, he has bet all his destiny on the country girl.

　　 Every time he recalled this incident, this Charlie felt that he must be mad at the time, in a catastrophe, rushed to the doctor, and actually believed a village girl who claimed to be here to save France?

　　 "I must be crazy."

The French king prince obviously did not know that there was an emperor in the Far Eastern Empire who was also besieging the capital with a large army. In desperation, he chose to believe in the words of a Taoist priest and asked him to lead a group of rogue gangs against the gold people. As a result, the father and son two emperors were taken away, and the empire was never recovered.

　　 If he knew about this, he would be even more pessimistic about his future.

　　 But, after all, he was helpless.

　　 There is no money in his hands, no extra army, and even the territory is about to fall. Apart from the empty name of the French king, there are only a few nobles and generals who are still loyal to him. He had put all his bets on the country girl, and if the country girl failed, he might not even be a little earl.

Yes, in addition to his status as the prince of the French king, he is also the Count of Anjou. He has a large number of in-laws in France and abroad. In any case, even if the British king really seizes the French king's throne, he still has his own position. The nobleman of the territory and the army, but... who has no money, what else can he do?

　　In order to keep the throne, he sold many of his manors and many fragmentary territories. Now he is in a state of embarrassment. What is the lord who has no money to maintain the army? It's just a piece of meat.

　　 The power of the monarchs of the Eastern Kingdom and the courtiers all come from the royal power, and the king can oust any courtier with a single word. In the Western feudal kingdoms, the power of the courtiers came from the army in their hands, as if the king served the king.

　　The so-called nobility, the so-called majesty, the so-called power, the so-called elegance... The nobility and power are not maintained by those fictitious names and titles, but by their own real territory and army.

　　Lords are no matter how big or small, they have their own territory and army. The loyalty of the lord to the king is essentially like the obedience of the king of a small country to the king of a big country, but a closer vassal state.

It is also because of this that even if the lord has an obvious rebellion against the king, as long as there is no direct rebellion, the king is often helpless. For the lord, it is a big deal that you come to my territory to beat me and see if it is your king’s army. Strong is still strong in my army.

　　 But also because, when the lord is unable to maintain his own army, what is it?

　　 is nothing but a vase with the title of nobleman.

　　 If the country girl fails, even if it is due to the opinions of other nobles, it is impossible to kill him explicitly, but Charlie pays for it, fearing that he will end up with an "accidental death".

　　 holding the window sill in front of him, watching the unknown dark clouds in the sky, as if it was about to rain, and the prince prayed silently.

　　 "God, may you bless that girl."

　　 Charlie did not pray directly for himself, but prayed for the Lorraine girl, wishing her success, anyway, when the girl failed, he could only be caught.

　　 The whole of France has reached the most critical moment, and the hope of saving France is pinned on a country girl...

　　How incredible, but this is the fact.

　　...

　　 On the afternoon of May 8, 1429, Chinon's garrison was on the guard tower and spotted a cavalry coming towards Chinon.

"Who!"

　　Although it is only one person, the raised castle drawbridge, soldiers holding weapons and bows and arrows everywhere, and the nervous look looking at the cavalry all prove that these soldiers are already nervous to the limit.

　　 During this period of time, there have been countless news of defeats all over the country, and these soldiers have been frustrated to the extreme, and France seems to be unable to hold it anymore.

　　 But immediately, someone at the head of the city recognized who the cavalry was.

　　 "Charles?"

　　 Above the city, someone said in surprise.

Charles, this is a guard who originally served as a defender in Chinon, but a month ago, under the order of the crown prince, he joined the Orleans reinforcements and followed the saint of Lorraine to join the war. , And now he is back.

　　 Could it be that the war failed and he escaped?

Under the city’s head, the Charles was panting. It seemed that he hadn’t slept for a whole day. On the way, he even ran off three horses to death. The remaining horse was also I can't hold it anymore.

　　 "O...Orleans!"

　　 Hoarse throat, trying hard to shout out.

　　 "Orleans? News from Orleans?"

　　The soldiers at the head of the city did not dare to neglect, and immediately put down the suspension bridge. This Charles got off his horse and fell directly, but he didn't even care to slap the dirt on his body, he just ran towards the castle.

　　 At this time, Charlie, who had already received the news, couldn't help but walked out of the hall quickly and ran into the messenger in the aisle.

　　 "What's wrong? What's wrong with Orleans???"

　　 He no longer cared about noble etiquette, desperately shook the shoulder of the soldier who was panting in front of him, his azure pupils looked nervously at the overly excited face.

　　 "Orleans...Orleans..."

　　 But the soldier hurried all night, his throat was blown uncomfortably by the cold wind, and he was too excited, even if he was dancing, he could only repeat "Orleans" continuously.

　　 Hearing the sound, Charlie's heart sank, and the assumption that he dared not think about was still forced to face at this moment. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 "Orleans... still fell?"

　　 muttered in silence.

Unexpectedly, when he really heard the news, Charlie didn't feel much loss in his heart. He didn't even feel angry with the country girl, nor was he afraid of the foreseeable future. He was just inexplicably blank. And insincere.

　　 seems to have been in a dream before, not knowing where I am, and until just now...

　　 finally woke up from dream.

　　 "Yes, it's time to wake up from a dream."

　　 was inexplicably bitter in his heart. How could he, a man who was not sure whether he was the biological son of the previous French king, qualified to be the French king?

　　 Suddenly, my heart was bitter, but I was disappointed and discouraged.

　　 But at this moment...

　　 "No, no... Orleans was successfully rescued! The English were defeated and fled!"

　　 beside his ear, a excited voice sounded again.

　　 It really failed. Forget it, anyway... eh? Huh? Huh? ! ! ! !

　　 Charlie, who suddenly reacted, looked at the excited soldier in front of him in disbelief, his face was dumbfounded.
