After this battle, the two armies of Burgundy and Aquitaine were moved - but not because they were afraid of Joan of Arc's sharp army and were easy to quit. But they were glad that this battle defeated Artoria's arrogance. In the future, they would not have to be afraid of bullying others by merging with France. Then they would gain more benefits when they divide France...

That's it.

So it is really not something that humans can resist. Although they defeated the Norman army in countless small battles, and even drew against the current legendary European generals in a battle where their strength was at a disadvantage. But the other two - I mean the two Dukes of Burgundy and Aquitaine, still don't believe that a village girl with braids can have what kind of command ability.

So, in mid-September, the Burgundian army set out from Dijon and marched into Orleans, the temporary capital of France. In the south, the Aquitaine army also advanced towards Anjou. The situation in France was once again critical!

In late September, the French army, which had been resting, fought with the Burgundians outside Orleans. They won a great victory, and Charles Duke of Burgundy was spared and fled in a panic.

At the end of September, the French army fought with the Aquitaine army outside Anjou. They won a great victory and captured Edward, the Duke of Aquitaine.

In early October, Edwarda, Duke of Aquitaine surrendered and returned Bordor and his nearby territory that he had occupied without authorization. He re-swears allegiance to King Philip II of the Dharma.

In one draw against Norman, then defeated Burgundy, and in three battles, Aquitaine was suppressed. Joan of Arc led the French army to establish unparalleled achievements, which attracted the attention of the nations. Even the nobles and officials of France began to believe that this girl had magical power. She reported to the Holy See and named Joan of Arc as a saint had several times on the table of Philip II.

A little surprised. Although I knew before, this girl might be someone who would bring miracles. However, Philip II did not expect that the miracle brought by this girl would be so amazing.

Now, France has basically restored its dignity as a traditional continental power. At the same time, its territory has also been restored. After several wars, the French volunteers have already gained the momentum of a hundred battles. The number has also increased to more than 30,000. Ile-day France, Brittany, and even the nobles of Normandy have submitted secret letters to Philip II, either openly or secretly.

In comparison, the Normans trapped in Paris were like an isolated island in the vast ocean. Artoria's government orders could not go out to the outskirts of Paris for twenty kilometers. All the scattered soldiers sent out before were seriously injured and had to be taken back. Some of them were unlucky and those who met the main French troops were destroyed.

Nowadays, Artoria seems to have completely given up, and does not care about anything else except for eating hard every day. That is, it does not want to break through to the currently calm Normandy, nor does it want to continue to maintain the rule of the Ile-de-France region.

In this case, Egil landed in Normandy.

September 18, 1002.

Also coming were Norman's 50,000 troops and a total of 600 warships.

The war has reached the next stage. Compared with Artoria, Egil, as the king of the Norman Kingdom, was regarded as a prominent figure in the entire continent. Some even called his Norman Kingdom the most powerful country in the continent today. In fact, regardless of territory, population, economic conditions, or number of troops (standing troops), the Norman Kingdom is one of the best. The comprehensive strength can indeed be regarded as the most powerful country in the continent.

The bugs that cross three continents in Eastern Rome do not count.

What is a little surprised is that after Egil landed in Normandy, the first thing was not how to formulate a strategy and rescue Paris. He did not lead the army south to destroy Orleans. Or he took this opportunity to sign a contract with France and directly maintained the actual ruling area.

Instead, he killed Lufos.

The charge was that the rescue was ineffective, which led to the deterioration of the entire French war.

Well, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lufos is innocent. In that case: before the Battle of Paris, it was meaningless to go to rescue him. Because it was recognized at that time that the Norman-Celtic coalition had an absolute advantage. After that, his rescue was even more impossible. France, where nationalism is flooded, is extremely terrible. Normandy is also in a turmoil. Lufos left, and he may not say that someone would make a revolution.

However, Lufos was still dead. Unlike Egil who always liked to hype the legal system construction and fairness and justice. This time the trial did not go through any legal procedures. Defense lawyer, judge, jury, or something, there was no such thing as Egil took all these positions alone. In the end, before Lufos could say the previous word, he directly knocked on the hammer: "The death penalty will be executed immediately."

Then the Norman Death Warrior standing behind Lufos held it down directly. Lufos, who seemed to want to say something, pulled out his axe and started his hand and fell to the ground.

That's it. Egil at least found a way out for his wife...

After that, Egil quickly sent officials to take over Brittany, which was now barely calm, and dispatched 3,500 professional Viking soldiers and 1,500 crossbowmen to form the Brittany garrison army. Martial law was imposed on Rennes to suppress the active Brittany people.

While threatening force, Egil naturally did not forget to use the method of using the wise. In addition to the usual tax-free method, Egil also implemented such measures.

The priests declared that they would respect the special rights of the priests more, and promised to give them more monasteries and fields, and support the sale of indulgences; the priests declared that they would guarantee and expand the rights of the nobles; the liberations would then maintain a low level of tax rates and give them more say in state affairs, such as third-level meetings, and the serfs declared that the system would be reformed later and land they could cultivate.

It's almost like that. He talks to people and ghosts. Egil is not afraid of whether he will go to the hell of tongue-pulling after he dies. He learns from the enemy representatives all day long, threatens you and talks nonsense. He tells the promise that is completely impossible to fulfill. Not to mention that many fools are really moved by Egil's words, and promises him that he will support him. And quickly realize the conditions that Egil said.

Of course, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, the throne of France.

Egil asked them to support themselves in obtaining the crown of France, the most traditional and noble kingdom of the traditional European royal family.

Of course, there is still a prerequisite for all this, which is to defeat Joan of Arc and her strong faith and extremely crazy French army.

After running out of the temporary Brittany army, Egil has 45,000 troops under his command. If the situation is critical, more troops can be continued to be stigmatized. The excellent local financial situation can also support Egil's lifeless expansion behavior.

Of course, there is still a prerequisite now.

"We, go to Paris."

After instructing the fleet commander General Carter to continuously transport supplies to Normandy, and launching pirate-like looting on the west coast of France. After such an arrangement, Egil issued such combat orders.

Immediately afterwards, from the Ile-de-France, the hell of the entire Kingdom of France began.

In fact, after the news of the Norman Cavalry under Egil's command, the residents of the entire Ile-de-France region, even the nobles and civilians, were scared to pee. If Artoria was a witch in their eyes, then Egil was the incarnation of Satan, the devil from hell. The two were completely incomparable before. Joan of Arc, who was highly anticipated by the French people, was currently fighting and killed with the Burgundians. There were only a few small straits of sāo sāo troops and aristocratic armed forces in the Ile-de-France region.

You can't beat it, you can't beat it at all.

So, the vast majority of the nobles decided to surrender to Egilna again, thinking about playing fence-branded tricks.

But Egil doesn't allow it.

"For guys who have betrayed once, it is naturally a common thing to betray the second, third, and even countless times. I don't want such a low-person person to be my vassal."

For this reason, Egil refused all the French nobles' request for surrender. The Norman army divided the troops into dozens of troops. He brought various siege equipment produced by the dwarves to clear all the noble castles in the Ile-de-France area one by one. Then, the nobles were beheaded, regardless of age, and their bodies were peeled and filled with straw, and placed them in the centers of various towns and villages in the Ile-de-France for people to visit.

Such iron-blooded skills make people understand again. This Nordic wolf is not a cute vegetarian creature, but a terrifying monster that really kills human life.

The Frenchman was timid again.

Perhaps there is no creature similar to the mascot that encourages them, and they will be so timid for a lifetime, just like the most obedient people. Who knows?

In short, the situation in the Ile-de-France region and the entire Paris was quiet within five days after Egil moved in here. With iron-blooded means and high-pressure rule, the French were silent again. The entire Ile-de-France region was shrouded in white terror...

After hearing about Egil's ruthless methods, Joan of Arc hurriedly ended his siege on Dijon and led his army to head north again to face Egil's Norman army.

The war is about to break out...
Chapter completed!
