Chapter 877 Accident
Reims is an extremely important city in France. Its importance is not because of its strategic location, but the coronation place of the kings of France in the past. If it is not crowned here, it cannot be called the king of France.

During the third phase of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the coronation city was occupied by the Burgundian and English forces, as well as Paris, the capital of France.

England occupied Paris, and Reims was distributed to Burgundy. As long as Reims does not recover for a day, the title of King of France will not be worthy of the name.

Now, Reims has finally been successfully recovered by France. The iris flag is hung on the city, and the walls are full of serious French soldiers on guard.

Touring the city wall with Demes and Bertrand, Joan walked past the soldiers with a calm expression, and the eyes of those soldiers were full of fanaticism.

In a short period of time, the name of the saint has spread throughout the army, especially the middle and lower ranks of officers truly believe that she is the messenger of the Lord.

Following the battle flag waving by Joan of Arc, as long as they see the battle flag, all the soldiers will unconsciously be excited, and even more fearless of life and death.

In every battle, he must rush to the forefront without suffering the slightest damage, and the strategy he chooses will inevitably bring victory, even the upper-level aristocratic officers find it incredible.

In order to ensure the speed of the plan, the strategy for the long-range raid on Lance did not carry out too precise calculations regardless of the logistics and resistance, but everything went smoothly.

A large number of cities along the way surrendered without a fight, and even the military town of Tevalou surrendered after a few days of siege. In less than half a month, the French expeditionary force fought all the way from Orleans to Reims and completed the attack.

It is now the second day after the capture of Lance, and the Crown Prince who has heard the news that he has rushed here is about to arrive, and the city is also preparing nervously.

As long as the coronation ceremony of Crown Prince Charles VII passes through tomorrow safely, Charles VII's identity as King of France will be confirmed and he will no longer be the crown prince.

Joan of Arc, who was patrolling the city, was a little disappointed. Her god hadn't returned yet, and the message he left for her was obviously within a few days, but it has been almost a month now.

During her practice last year, her god disappeared for half a year, but she had never seen Xiaoyou at that time, and she also said that she would go out for a long time, which was completely different from this time.

"It was clearly agreed, where did that woman abduct my god..." The moment Xiaoyou disappeared, Joan of Arc couldn't help but think of that beautiful woman, it must be because of her.

"What is the order of the saint?" Demez, who was next to her, asked.

"It's nothing, let's continue to patrol, tomorrow is the coronation ceremony." Her face became calm again, Joan of Arc said lightly.

She shook her head in puzzlement. Although Joan looked calm, Demes, who had been teaching her for a year, could still tell the difference.

Less than a year after stepping out of Dulaimi Village, Joan of Arc's changes shocked him. The simple girl at that time is now truly qualified as the savior of France.

Always calm in front of outsiders, she rarely panics, but Demes knows that Joan of Arc is a little flustered now.

The "Holy Maiden" walked to the left and right sides of the northern city gate, and Giles, who was listening to the soldiers' report, said respectfully.

Even Demes and Bertrand can see that if anyone in the upper echelon of the army respects Joan the most, it is undoubtedly Gilles, the rapidly promoted nobleman.

It's not a simple emotion of liking, but a further step, the feeling of being willing to protect the other party for life, but everyone knows it, except Joan who doesn't know that it is...

"What happened to Gilles"

"There is a report of a small group of enemy troops in the village near Lance, and they are planning to take a team of cavalry to investigate." Without the slightest hesitation, Giles said calmly.

"Report the information to the Duke of Alençon, Gilles, you go and prepare people to leave the city with me."

"Saint, just leave this kind of matter to me. You are still needed in the city..." Gilleston said a little nervously when he heard the news that Joan of Arc was leaving the city.

Two days ago, it had been reported that England was gathering an army in the direction of Paris. At this critical moment, he did not want Joan to take risks.

"The defense of the city is enough for the Duke of Alençon and the Duke of Dunoy"

Joan of Arc said calmly, and there was another sentence in her heart, that is, she felt that she had to go together this time, as if something was attracting her.

By the way, after the capture of Reims, the Earl of Dunoy was promoted to Duke, what he lacked was the official reward after the coronation.

"...Yes" for a moment, Giles still bowed his head obediently.

Not long after, a brigade of nearly 200 heavy cavalry left the city. It was originally planned that a small group of cavalry would carry out reconnaissance and annihilation when the number was small. Gilles immediately made changes after Joan of Arc joined.

Whether it is for selfishness or for France, Joan of Arc's safety is a must. For this reason, he specially obtained orders from the Duke of Dunoy, the most elite heavy cavalry.

In this team of cavalry, there is even an old man whose qualifications and strength surpass that of Dunoy, La Haile, the actual trainer of the last heavy cavalry in France.

Possessing military talent, his strength is not inferior to that of Rachel's old opponent, Champton Santreil. It can be said that he is a military general trusted by Charles VII.

In addition, 200 elite soldiers selected from nearly [-] heavy cavalry formed the team for this reconnaissance, which is not luxurious...

……

"The news came from around here"

The disadvantage of the heavy cavalry is lack of endurance, but the place where the news came was not too far from Lance, and for the safety of Joan of Arc, Gilles still chose the heavy cavalry.

After galloping along the way, they finally arrived at the place where the news came.

"...Damn it!" Clenching her hands tightly, Joan looked at the messy village in front of her with an ugly expression.

The wreckage of the entire village was silent, no living people could be seen at a glance, traces of flames were everywhere, and the village even became scorched black.

"This is not something the army can do..." Joan murmured, even if the English army set fire to it, it would not be able to reach this level, and the destruction was so complete.

The "Magician" was over forty years old, but the middle-aged general Lahail said in a deep voice, but from his frowning, it could be seen that he was not as calm as imagined.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a bold magician, aren't they afraid of being hunted down?" Another equally old general, Champton Santreil, also had an ugly expression on his face.

They have seen the magician, although they don't appear in the eyes of the public, but they can still see it at their level. The royal steward of the current crown prince Charles VII is a magician.

But such daring magic makes them rare.

"Why did you do such a cruel thing?" Even though she was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, Joan's face was still pale, and there was no one alive in the whole village.
