I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Send Asa back to Fort Delamis to disrupt the team's subsequent plans.

The task of clearing out the bandits is actually a game.

Before the game starts, it is the easiest time to clear out the bandits. The longer you delay, the more likely the bandits will get wind of it and flee in a hurry, or be cleared out by other partner teams, and the number of bandits will only become fewer and fewer.

Fortunately, Potter was not so cautious as to have to poop together.

He took a soldier with him to escort Asa back, while the other seven soldiers, led by the veteran, headed to the next bandit camp so as not to delay either side.

When we arrived at Delamisburg, we first sent Asa to the doctor for treatment and examination.

But the injuries Asha suffered were beyond words, and the doctor was disgusted with Asha and was unwilling to lend a helping hand.

If Xu Siling had not once said that soldiers should not disturb civilians, he would have punched the doctor in the face.

There were only two doctors in Dramisburg, and they both refused to help. Porter was helpless. He suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took the soldiers and Asha to inquire about the location of the forest witch and ran back to the forest.

Usually when people are sick and it is too expensive to see a doctor, or when women are unwilling to see a male doctor, they will look for a witch to treat their illness.

The success rate for curing minor illnesses is very high, and there is also a success rate for curing major illnesses, but they are all accompanied by some negative effects.

Potter and others have come into contact with many witches in the manor, and they feel that witches are very reliable and trustworthy.

After crossing the mountains and forests, they found a low wooden house. A widow was sitting alone at the door, staring at medicinal herbs in a daze. When she heard a sound, she looked up and found two fully armed soldiers and a little girl. She was so scared that she quickly ran back into the house and closed the door.

Porter was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when seeing this, and pulled the flag on his left shoulder forward again to show his identity.

Thanks to the features of the new clothing, the flag could be tied to the left shoulder, thus proving one’s identity at all times.

The widow witch would not open the door even if she died, but when she heard that Potter was the executioner soldier of Raya Town, she opened the door cautiously.

After confirming the emblem on the flag, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"My Lords, I don't know what you want from me. I haven't done anything bad."

Potter picked up Asha and told her what had happened to her.

The widow who heard what happened couldn't help but curse angrily.

"You damn inferior pigs, you have no moral principles and are capable of killing anyone!"

If he were an ordinary soldier, after clearing out the bandits, he could rescue a girl like this who had no one to help him and send her back to the city, then he would have completed his mission. As for what disease the girl had, or whether she was dead or alive in the city, it had nothing to do with the soldiers.

And Potter's behavior has definitely improved his impression of the witches.

Considering the situation of Xu Siling's soldiers, this is not difficult to understand.

In this area, Xu Siling and Fei'er are the only ones who take the initiative to clear out the bandits.

The witch and Asa contacted Potter privately and asked about the situation briefly. It was indeed as Potter said, so they immediately believed Potter.

After examining Asha, the witch was so angry that she was shaking all over.

His body was extremely dirty and was not washed in time afterwards. Moreover, the robbers were not clean at all and there were torn wounds on his lower body that had not fully healed.

The witch felt both distressed and hateful.

There is a reason why the doctor in Dramisburg dislikes Asha and is unwilling to criticize her, but that doesn't stop the witch from scolding the doctor anyway.

"Can Asha be saved?"

The witch did not hide it: "It's easy. As long as you don't get infected, it's easy to survive. But if you get infected..."

Potter frowned: "There is no 100% solution?"

"Hey sir, don't be angry with me. Even the women in your manor would do the same as me in this situation."

"You know Jocasta?"

"Her name is very famous in our Shanlin circle."

Potter sighed. Considering that the doctors in Dramisburg were unwilling to help, he had no choice. He took out the money and put it in the witch's hand: "Please try your best to save her."

The witch pinched the coin and finally returned it.

"Too little?"

"No, sir. We have nothing to do with bandits and we rarely have any dealings with them, but we look down on them. You are doing a good deed. I will try my best to save the girl, but you don't need any money."

Porter understood and thanked him, but still put the coins on the shelf next to the cabin.

"I'll come visit her in five days."

Just as Potter was leaving, Asa suddenly ran out with a dagger in her hand, scaring the three of them.

The witch was anxious: "My good girl, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Potter, don't you want Asha anymore?"

Without waiting for Potter to answer, Asa pressed the dagger against her left ear and held her ear with her other hand.

"I'll give you my left ear. Brother Potter, please take me away."

Asa's tone was indifferent, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

When she was first rescued by Porter and others, she fell into fear and tension. But when she knew that Porter was a good man and had been trying hard to find a way to save her, Asa thought she was finally saved.

But when she saw Potter was about to leave, Asha suddenly felt scared, worried that she would have to return to a helpless and dark life.

Potter quickly comforted her and signaled Asha to put down the dagger.

"I don't want the good boy's ears, I only want the bad boy's ears. Ah Sha, you are a good boy, let's put down the dagger."

"Brother Potter, take me away. I don't want to be here."

"Put down the dagger first, I promise you!"

As soon as Asha's dagger fell, Potter immediately snatched it away, picked up Asha again, and patted her butt as a punishment.

"Who allowed you to play with a dagger like this!"

Asa was no longer strong and started crying loudly while hugging Potter.

The witch's lonely heart was deeply moved by this scene.

After Potter's repeated persuasion, Asa finally calmed down.

"I didn't abandon Ah Sha. You have to take good care of your illness here with your aunt. I will come to see you in five days and bring you delicious food. When I'm done with my work, if you want, I will take you back to Raya Town, okay?"

"Okay! Asha will wait for you and won't go anywhere."

After handing Asa over to the witch, the witch stopped Potter and the other man who were about to leave.

"I know where the camps of some of the woodsmen at Delamisburg are."

Porter and the soldier looked at each other.

"What reward do you want?"

The witch smiled and said, "I don't need any reward for this, but I do have some conditions. I hope you can do me a favor."

"Just tell me first, I can't help you with everything."

"After I cure Asa, can I go back to Raya Town with you?"

Potter was stunned: "You want to..."

"Jocasta has taken us in everywhere, but not everyone is used to group living. Once you get used to it, it's hard to live again. But when I saw you, I thought Lord Siling's manor was good, and I hope he can give me this opportunity." "I can't guarantee that you will definitely move into the manor. Even Lord Siling rarely asks about Jocasta's affairs. But I think it's okay. Jocasta will welcome you."

Potter spread out a simple map, which surprised the witch, but she still pointed out a few familiar locations on the map based on her memory.

Although it is somewhat timely, it may not be accurate.

But at least it's better than rushing around in the mountains without any information.

After saying hello to Asha, Porter hurried away with his soldiers to find his own team.

The soldier around Porter had a lot of feelings. At first, he just felt it was troublesome to follow and escort Asa.

But now with the help of the witch's information, the soldiers couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

Perhaps this is what it means when good people are rewarded. Kind people will always get help around kind corners.

It's not a bad thing to follow such a kind and cautious captain.

Paris, the Royal Palace.

During this period, John II was not idle.

While busy familiarizing himself with the kingdom's political affairs.

When Philip VI was still alive, the father and son had different political views and quarreled every day. John simply stayed away from the court and did not assist Philip VI in handling any government affairs.

This makes it difficult to get started with government affairs.

Fortunately, with the help of Bonei and a long period of processing, the situation was finally no longer in a mess.

But John's mind was still on the northern fortress of Calais.

The Battle of Crécy was a disastrous defeat, and the extremely important fortress of Calais changed hands and fell into the hands of England.

Like Philip VI, John wanted to regain the lost territory in France and avenge his previous humiliation.

But John was young and energetic, his ambition far exceeded that of his father Philip VI, and his goal was not just to regain the lost territory in France.

Retaking the lost territories in the north and southwest and taking back the fortress of Calais was only the first step in John's mind.

1340 marked the beginning of the Hundred Years' War between England and France.

The Battle of Sluis dealt a severe blow to the French naval fleet, preventing the French army from crossing the channel to invade Britain and causing the Battle of Crécy to take place on the French mainland.

Fighting on home soil gives you the home advantage, which isn't bad.

However, the long-term harassment from English soldiers and mercenaries in the homeland was extremely unbearable.

They wreaked havoc in their homeland and were difficult to capture, causing great headaches for Philip VI and John.

So John wanted to take back Calais, restart the naval battle, regain control of the sea, and change the situation.

John didn't tell anyone, including Bonnet, about his complicated thoughts.

Everyone else was only thinking about regaining the lost territory from France to avenge their previous humiliation.

John, however, was thinking about riding a dragon on his face and punching the King of England back on English territory.

Didn't you say you were the King of France too?

Look at me, the legitimate King of France, I’m going to break your teeth with one punch!
Edward III, and your son Edward the Black Prince, go to hell!
Never underestimate the honor of a true knight.

After becoming familiar with government affairs, John gained a preliminary understanding of the preparations made by nobles across the kingdom.

The South was the region hardest hit by the Black Death. The southern nobles expressed their willingness to join the war. Even if there were not many knights, the nobles would go alone to join the war.

John was moved and exempted most of the taxes owed by the South and did not force these nobles to be present during the war.

The focus is on the northern and central parts of the kingdom.

In the central region, the nobles are the most stable. It can basically be guaranteed that the territory collection in each area is good, and each noble can pull out a small team of soldiers to gather and participate in the war.

Not to mention the Earldom of Raya in the central region.

Fei'er, who does not have to pay taxes and occupies four territories, has far more soldiers under her command than others, not counting the soldiers of other nobles in her earldom.

John believed that Fei'er would be of great help to him.

It's just that the nobles in the northern part of the kingdom are in some trouble.

The North had been harassed by English soldiers and mercenaries, and there were even rumors of affairs between the Northern nobles and the King of England.

Some northerners who have suffered losses are complaining the loudest, but they may also be the ones with the greatest variables.

After all, the main battle zones were all in the north, and those who were looted and suffered were also in the north.

But fortunately, everything is under control, at least that's the current situation. The French nobles are united at this moment, and they all want to kick the British army away with John.

Before a war, talking nonsense is a historical custom, and it is also a custom in France and Britain.

During that time, Xu Siling was busy arguing with the French nobles, and John was not idle either.

Soon after John ascended the throne at Reims Cathedral, he wrote to King Edward III of England.

Didn't Edward III say that he had territories in France? Didn't he say that he was also the King of France?

Now that the legitimate king is here, and you consider yourself a noble of the French territory, then come to Paris to meet the new king of France.

The content of John's letter was extremely arrogant. He specifically asked Edward III and the Black Prince to come to Paris to meet him, otherwise he would take back all their territories in France and cut off all their territorial economic sources in France.

It even included the assassination of Queen Jeanne, who pointed at Edward III's nose and cursed him, saying that he was a black-hearted pig, who gave birth to a black-hearted prince.

Edward III replied shortly afterwards, expressing his innocence regarding the assassination of Queen Jeanne of France by the British, and even scolding John for his groundless accusation.

As for the throne of the King of France, Edward III confessed directly that he did not support all the actions of the Avignon lackey Holy Church, and Saint Raya was even more of a joke. He was originally the King of France, and John and his father Philip VI were thieves and robbers!

As for cutting off his income from his French territories? Go ahead!
There were even some particularly disgusting words left at the end of the letter.

"John, I heard that your new mother, Blanche, was kidnapped by a certain executioner knight at the wedding when your father was still alive. Your father was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted."

"Considering that you don't have two queen mothers in a row, I can give you one."

John was so angry that he burned the letter.

As a loyal fan of Xu Siling, it is impossible not to curse.

John remembered Xu Siling's previous insults to the nobles and quoted them in the letter, cursing back.

"You are a fool and ignorant person! The French throne belongs to the House of Valois, you can't take it away, and you are a pig with its butt sticking up and being fed with grass. Yes, I am talking about you, Edward III. You can't take it away!"

"Don't worry, you won't collect any copper coins in the French territory! Every penny you earn in the French fiefdom will become an arrow for my soldiers to shoot into your testicles that only know how to play with women!"

"My justice, perfection, humility, loyalty, and honor are all on my sword!"

"Let me cut it off for you myself, your useless thing."

"I know from across the coast that you have sex with women promiscuously but cannot satisfy them."

"I also know that your children, including the Black Prince, were the result of an affair between Queen Philippa of England and someone else."

"If you can't even protect your own bloodline, how can you protect your testicles?"

"From now on, I will affectionately call you Edward, the inferior castrated pig."
