The knight complained in his heart, but he apologized with deep regret as soon as he opened his mouth.

When it comes to acting, John's knight is much better than John.

Of course Xu Siling didn't really blame the knight.

It was just that the chaos on the northern front had left the people completely unsafe, but these noble lords did nothing.

Perhaps, in essence, they should not be blamed.

First, the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Crécy caused heavy losses to the nobles.

In addition, the north is the main war zone, and its economic development is not as good as that of central France.

Not to mention the Black Death broke out.

It is already very difficult for the noble lords to ensure that they do not die in their positions.

As for Zachary in the country?

I don’t have the energy to care.

Xu Siling carefully recalled that fact.

It is the Middle Ages after all.

In the whole of France, there are three places with the best public security.

The four direct jurisdictions of Paris, the Vatican City of Avignon, and Phile-Raya.

Even in the Feier territory, where public security is so good, there have been cases of robbery and murder.

What about the main war zone in the north?

John could see that Xu Siling was not very happy, but he didn't know what to say.

The general said that he should step forward and say that he did not do well.

"What's the point of getting angry with them? Why don't you go to Milo Village and meet the people you want to meet? Then we can go to Saint-Ledesserant Town and meet the nobles."

"I'm afraid he may not welcome me."

"If you are not welcome, do you not welcome me?" John smiled and patted Xu Siling's shoulder. "Don't think too much. You have a good reputation among the nobles."

Xu Siling had a 'is this true or not' expression on her face.

Until John added.

"Of course, I'm talking about the noblewomen."

Xu Siling was too lazy to use her eyelids to clamp John.

This is not nonsense. He holds the perfect title of knight, which greatly increases the female nobles' favor towards him.

Not to mention the kidnapping of Blanche at the palace wedding.

In the eyes of the nobles, it is extremely bad.

But in the eyes of female nobles, this is a manifestation of the pursuit of romance.

When Xu Siling first became the murderer who forced the previous king to death, it was these female noble ladies who spoke up for him in resistance.

Unfortunately, in the Middle Ages, even if women were nobles, their say was not much greater than that of men.

"If they really welcome me, when I pass by Bode on the day I come to Paris, Bode should send someone to invite me to visit the new territory."

Speaking of this, John couldn't help laughing again.

The Bode family was the only family that was not wiped out by Xu Siling and Fei'er in the war.

As prisoners, they were sent to Paris by Fei'er.

John's approach was simple. He simply gave a piece of territory near Paris to the Bode family, who were loyal to the royal family.

Then, the kingdom's nobles, including Bode, started to curse at Xu Siling from a distance.

Xu Siling has been clamoring to chop off Robien Bode's head, use his skull as a bowl, and let Bode come to Raya Town for a duel.

The relationship between the two was extremely bad, and there was no explanation as to why it was so bad.

When Xu Siling passed by the new territory of the Bode family, Robbin hid in the territory and didn't dare to fart.

When Xu Siling was in Raya Town, Ella would occasionally receive humiliating letters from other nobles in the kingdom.

But after Xu Siling went north, the letters from the nobles stopped like the author suddenly becoming a eunuch.

The voices of the nobles cursing Xu Siling disappeared.

He was afraid that the sound would reach Xu Siling's ears and he would ride over and chop off his head.

Xu Siling has always been brooding over the death of Philip VI.

He wants to set the stage and use himself as a pawn to pave the way for John. That's okay.

But if you die, you die. It’s none of my business. Why should I take the blame for your death?

Xu Siling felt that he was very wronged. He was completely different from Louis XVI.

Louis XVI certainly did not die unjustly, because every injustice has its perpetrator.

And his head was still perfectly upright on his shoulders!

After cleaning up the battlefield, the group headed towards Milo Village again.

At first, John was not interested in the person Xu Siling wanted to criticize.

Because he had been in Paris for so long and had never heard of any famous people in the town of Saint-Le Desserant.

If it really happened, he would definitely know it before Xu Siling.

After seeing that Xu Siling cared so much about the affairs of Mailuo Village, John couldn't help but feel curious.

"You still haven't told me who you are going to meet in Milo Village. What's so special about that person?"

"Special? Not necessarily special, maybe just an ordinary person. I'll know only after meeting him once."

"you do not know?"

"do not know."

"I don't know him. Why did you come all the way from Raya Town to the north to see him?"

"It's not necessary to go north just for him."

Xu Siling was not sure what kind of person Guillaume was now.

Ten years later, during the Jacqueré uprising, Guillaume certainly possessed great military leadership abilities.

But who knows how capable Guillaume, who is ten years younger, will be in ten years?

John was helpless: "Then I don't care about you. I am accompanying you to go out of the city and go north to relax. I am also relaxing. I was almost sick from staying in the palace every day recently."

"I came out to kill a few people, and now I feel much better."

"It's better to kill the British." John thought of something, "After you meet the person you mentioned, remember to talk to me about your plan. I just talked about it briefly last time, and I still can't accept it."

"Why should I ask you to accept it? Miss Raya supports me, and you can't stop me."

"Your plan is terrible!" John was anxious. "To be honest, if I were you, I would be very tempted! But you asked me to support you, I can't do it."

"Are you afraid that I'll die?"

"I don't think I will lose to that inferior pig Edward III in a head-on battle! I'm not my father!" John was angry and his expression was conflicted. "If you go to England and anything happens, it will be a problem that France cannot afford."

John is a radical and adventurous man.

He was more honest and frankly said that if he were Xu Siling, he would also be moved and would not be able to help doing the same.

But now John is king.

As a king, he should not support such risky behavior.

"Then you just don't have confidence in me. I won't say anything else, but at least you should be able to protect yourself from getting into trouble."

John closed his eyes helplessly and remained silent.

Because what Xu Siling said, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong with it.

On the one hand, Xu Siling is Fei'er's knight, and Fei'er, as a lord, has no problem with it. Even if he is a king, he can't say anything.

On the other hand, Xu Siling's strength is evident to the whole of France.

John felt that the gap between himself and Xu Siling was getting bigger and bigger. In the whole of France, it seemed that there was no one who could defeat Xu Siling.

The military battle lines between England and France are somewhat different.

France has done a lot of research on land warfare and cavalry warfare.

On the contrary, England has done more research and development in engineering and equipment.

France can't find anyone who can defeat Xu Siling.

Can England have it?

But when Xu Siling went to England, he was all alone, with no one to turn to. If Xu Siling had an accident in England or was controlled, the war between the two countries would have more or less problems.

"Let's not talk about this. Please tell me more about the details when you have time."

"You asked me to tell you the details, is it to appease yourself or the queen?"

"of course"

John stopped talking and snorted like a child.

Amid Xu Siling's teasing and ridicule, the group finally arrived at Mailuo Village at dusk.

Mailuo Village is a small village near the foot of the mountain, surrounded by lush forests on one side.

However, the once quiet and peaceful village is now plagued by British mercenaries.

The roads in Mailo village are winding and the houses are built of rough stones.

The house has witnessed many disasters and survived many wars but still stands here.

Xu Siling and John rode closer on horseback. They didn't see anyone in the distance, but when they looked closer, they found that there were two not-too-tall guard towers at the entrance of the village.

The villagers who had little armor raised their crossbows. At the corner of the road, Xu Siling found several armed men ready for a battle.

Xu Siling couldn't help but tease: "It seems that no matter where I go, I'm not welcome."

Without waiting for John to speak, the knight stepped forward angrily.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to teach these Zakre a lesson? How dare they point their weapons at their king!"

John is a sensible and kind man. Seeing these villagers hastily preparing for battle, he only felt helpless and ashamed.

However, this also allowed John to see scenes that were not visible in ordinary villages.

In the Middle Ages, a fully armed knight could slaughter an entire village on horseback.

In front of them, the village of Milo was facing twenty-two knights, but the villagers did not flee into the mountains in fear, but prepared for battle.

John didn't say anything, but Xu Siling spoke first.

"It's normal that they don't know us. Our king doesn't like to raise a flag when he travels, but my flag..."

The flags of executioner soldiers such as Xu Siling were draped over their shoulders.

It is normal that the villagers of Mailuo Village did not notice it. Even if they did, a village so far away in the north might not know what Xu Siling's flag looked like.

Xu Siling turned around and ordered: "Porter, go forward and show your presence, and tell them that we will be staying here. Remember, speak in a nice tone."

Potter rode forward in response.

Seeing the soldiers coming on horseback, Mailocun and others became tense and angry.

Porter rode on his horse to show that he was harmless: "Hey brother, don't be nervous, we are French, not British."

French did not let the villagers down.

The main language used in England now is French, supplemented by English.

It's not that there weren't English mercenaries pretending to be French by speaking French.

Seeing that the villagers still hadn't put down their crossbows, Porter pulled up the flag on his left shoulder.

"Look carefully, this is the flag of Lord Knight Raya, do you recognize it?"

After a while, a man from the guard tower shouted in response.

"Of course we know Miss Raya's knight! But why is he here?"

"I am Porter Arndt, a soldier of Lord Knight Raya."

"Guillaume Carr."

Guillaume looked as steady and youthful as Xu Siling and John, with bright eyes. He looked at Porter and the knights behind him, and after thinking for a while, he waved his hand to signal the villagers to put down the crossbows.

When nobles travel, there is no need to explain to little people like them.

In fact, Guillaume didn't think Xu Siling would appear here, but at least he could see that the twenty-two knights in front of him could not be English mercenaries.

Mercenaries aren't that rich.

Everyone is fully equipped with armor. If a fight really breaks out, they can just charge into the entire Milo village. There is no need for them to step forward and shout.

The alert was lifted and Guillaume came down from the guard tower.

Xu Siling and others rode forward on horseback.

"Lord Si Ling, the person I just talked to is Guillaume Karl, the one you are looking for."

Guillaume had just landed and when he heard what Porter said, he turned around in surprise.

Xu Siling was riding on a horse, his face calm and indifferent, his brown eyes showing curiosity as he looked at himself. The armor on his body matched the new clothes, and the flag wolf head on his left shoulder was particularly eye-catching, making him look very majestic.

This man is the perfect knight of France, Xu Siling?

"You are Guillaume."

Guillaume didn't know how to answer, so he bowed and said, "I'm Guillaume, nice to meet you, Master Siling."

When the villagers knew who the visitor was, they all showed interest, but they only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to approach.

"You were able to raise an armed resistance force in Milo Village. It's not easy."

"The lord is unable to take care of us, so we have to defend our homeland ourselves."

"Well done. Maybe we'll have to stay here for a few days, please."

"No, no trouble!"

Xu Siling turned to Porter and said, "Give all the spoils you collected on the road to the villagers."

Guillaume was stunned when he heard this.

Porter followed the order without hesitation.

John, on seeing this, remembered this matter, and bade the knight do the same.

But John immediately noticed the contrast.

Porter and other soldiers did not show any resentment on their faces, but instead looked as if it was their due.

On the contrary, his knight's face showed some dissatisfaction.
This is not surprising. The enemies killed on the battlefield and the spoils looted naturally belong to you.

John was the king and they were John's knights. John asked them to do this and they dared not resist at all.

But you will definitely feel uncomfortable inside.

The villagers were extremely surprised to receive so much spoils.

Guillaume shouted anxiously: "Master Siling! This is too much, we can't take it!"

Xu Siling was too lazy to answer his question: "Please help arrange food and water."

Seeing this, Guillaume had no choice but to agree.

The villagers who came forward took the spoils and counted them one by one in great surprise.

The spoils were basically the British's weapons and equipment as well as their money.

Such a large amount of spoils is a profit that a village may not be able to earn in a hundred years!

And Xu Siling gave it as she said.

Guillaume asked the villagers to arrange people to do the work and make room for Xu Siling to eat and live, and then he personally led the group into the village.

Along the way, Xu Siling and John could see that although the village of Milo was under the threat of British mercenaries.

But the villagers were not frightened by them.

At least there is still light in every villager's eyes.

When they arrived at the temporary house, Guillaume signaled a few women to clean up and then signaled Xu Siling to sit down.

Only Xu Siling and John entered the house; no one else followed.

John was curious: "Do you manage the village's defense and armed forces all by yourself?"

Guillaume didn't know who John was, but John had always been following Xu Siling before, so he subconsciously thought that John was just Xu Siling's knight and didn't think much about it.

"Not only me, but also several of my brothers. The British were looting everywhere in the north, and many people fled to my place. Those who are willing to stay must work together to protect this place. Fortunately, the village of Milo is backed by mountains and forests, and there are many things in the mountains and forests."

Guillaume fell silent.

John laughed without caring, "You guys are still poaching, where are the hunters in this area."

In the Middle Ages, animals belonged to local lords and kings.

The function of a hunter is not to hunt animals, but to be a professional fighter who is responsible for guarding the hunting grounds, protecting the forests, and catching poachers.

Seeing that Xu Siling didn't care about this matter, Guillaume breathed a sigh of relief. (End of this chapter)
