Chapter 342
"It's not in vain that I moved to the fortress to experiment. Sure enough, the power limit of the treasure must be continuously broken."
The figure of Hayasaka Ai is condensed by flames in the air, just like the retrospect of the scene where Joan of Arc gradually disappeared in the stake, and the concepts of reincarnation and judgment are constantly repeated.
From a high altitude, the Marengo battlefield can be seen at a glance:
The Italians, who were bathed in the shower of meteors and fire, were routed. The formation of 60,000 people disintegrated in an instant. It was too late for them to escape without armor and armor, so they had to sleep with those weapons, poured into a thick earth, stone, and flame mud to form a seamless one.
The Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus is worthy of being Joan of Arc's natal Noble Phantasm, and her significance to Jeanne Darc is no less than Artoria's Sword of Promised Victory. It may not be the most powerful Noble Phantasm, but it must be the most suitable Noble Phantasm .
Ai Hayasaka used the "protection of the end" to escape, but by accident, it fit the history of Joan of Arc's burning.However, she did not die, but sublimated the concept legend in the flames, not to mention Ai Hayasaka's "return prophecy" to add fuel and vinegar, so a conceptual treasure representing reincarnation and judgment was formed.
Its external manifestation is an astonishingly powerful flame, perhaps also a manifestation of the wrath of the saint.
Maybe the Noble Phantasm named "Red Lotus Saintess" has other wonderful uses. The performance of conceptual Noble Phantasms often has great potential. Ai Hayasaka is determined to develop the limit, so there is this scene in front of her.
As an experiment, it is indeed a grand scene.
Joan of Arc, a heroic spirit who is on the rise and continues to perform legends, is at the peak moment, and the one-star character card breakthrough provides strong support.
Ai Hayasaka's revelation is warning the Vatican that there is danger, but she has a reason to go, and must find out the Pope!
Then you can only develop the limit of your ability as much as possible and achieve a perfect state.
"I don't want to die!"
"It's Joan of Arc's trial!"
"This is a natural disaster!"
The Italian army has been frightened and scattered. They flee, trample, and scurry into a completely defeated army.
Asuna ordered decisively, and the dragoons made another charge, breaking up the remaining elite Chinese troops of the Italian army, and seized more than half of their weapons and supplies.
Ai Hayasaka nodded secretly, saying that Asuna was really accurate in her judgment.
In fact, the main body of the Alexandria Fortress is only that big, excluding the part burned by the flames as the direct impact part of the shell is pitifully small, as if the meteorite has almost no power when it passes through the atmosphere.The absolute kill rate is not terrible, the Italian army's battle loss ratio is not even more than half, and the instant explosive power of the Red Lotus Saintess Noble Phantasm is over.Like a typhoon passing through, it comes and goes quickly.
However, Hayasaka's idea of airlifting the fortress of Alexandria was so compelling that the Italians were terrified.
First, the corpses of the paladins kept falling, and the atmosphere of depression and terror spread. People were afraid of the existence of an unknown hunter.
Then, it's the main event!
The rising flames forcibly support the magnificent fortress castle building, just floating in the air can create a large shadow, crimson and gray black are intertwined into a hellish sense of oppression, falling from the sky is simply the most primitive fear of human beings, as if It was the asteroid that hit thousands of years ago.
After one blow, the Italian army was defeated, and the Battle of Marengo was won, which also meant that the kingdom of Sardinia was exhausted.
Ai Hayasaka put away the energy of the Noble Phantasm, descended slowly, and returned to the rear command position.
"Stiacia, thank you for taking care of the battlefield."
Seeing the blond girl returning from victory, Asuna's first sentence was not about asking about the victory but about concern, without a smile appearing on her face, "It's okay, it's my duty."
"How about it, the big fireworks are not bad."
"I think the survivors will always remember the day when the battle of Marengo was effectively over."
While the two were talking, they saw an unkempt middle-aged man escorted by San Song. Although his coat was a cover for an ordinary soldier, the insignia on the general officer's clothes underneath could not hide it.
It seemed that Sanson had caught a big fish.
"My lord, the enemy commander, General Melas, has been captured."
The blond girl gave an easygoing smile.
"I have always admired a general like you. The French army has always treated prisoners preferentially. Seeing that you look so haggard, why don't you hurry up and prepare some meals." Joan's demeanor did not have the atmosphere of the battlefield at all, giving off a warm spring breeze.
It is even more forgettable that it was this braided Orleans village girl who unleashed the fiery red doomsday disaster just now.
The general sneered and didn't appreciate it. "Hmph, don't think I don't know what your French army eats after fighting for so long, but dry bread is also served as a treat. Our Italian army has always eaten macaroni."
"However, our officers only eat bread, and we don't put on soldiers' clothes in an attempt to escape when the situation is chaotic."
"You... are inhumane."
"Hehe, you invaded France under the banner of freedom and human rights, trampled on our land, insulted our people, and plundered our property. So many innocent people died, you are the most inhumane. One Italian at a time Noodles and macaroni, if you come to serve as a soldier, prepare me to endure hardships, you really are a group of young soldiers who deserve to be defeated.”
Joan's voice was powerful and powerful, and it spread far and wide.
All the Italian soldiers who heard it felt ashamed when they thought of the situation in which they were captured now. Joan's vigilance reminded them that they were admonished by the instructor when they just joined the army.
We have been fighting for so long, why are we fighting for the monarch of the Kingdom of Sardinia?Or the Pope?
"Sanson, how many prisoners are there in this battle?"
"40,000 people."
Such a huge number is difficult to deal with, and now it is a more "civilized" society in the 18th century. It is not acceptable to kill and bury it on the spot. What France flaunts is the ideology of the "Declaration of Human Rights", which must be handled seriously out of political considerations The prisoner of war problem.
"Sang Song, I will give you a division of troops to escort these captives back to the country and place them in the mine. In addition to labor reform, ideological education must not be left behind. Let them know that labor is honorable and cannot be slaves of the monarch and capitalists. , You must use your own hands to create fruitful results."
"As ordered."
"In short, the construction of a better tomorrow in France requires the full support of international friends." She said eloquently.
What Ai Hayasaka didn't know was that this impromptu speech was faithfully recorded by the field reporters.
In the picture, the blond girl is heroic, holding a sword with one hand, and the white military uniform is as imposing as a rainbow, just like the image of a great victor.
The Battle of Marengo came to an end. There was no main force in the Italian area and declared that it had lost its resistance. The city of Rome waved to the victor, as if inviting a long-lost old friend to visit.
In addition, another famous historical stalk about Joan of Arc was born, that is:
Catch and mine——
Chapter 343 Standing and Winning Again
"No, it can't go on like this."
A man's roar came from the king's bedroom in Buckingham Palace, followed by the sound of porcelain being smashed.
The servants hurriedly trotted over, carefully tidying up the broken and precious porcelain specially provided by the British royal family, not even daring to raise their heads for fear of offending the angry king.It is not difficult for them to guess why the old man is angry:
After a shocking winter raid in the Alps, Joan of Arc won a complete victory at the Battle of Marengo, killing [-] enemies and taking [-] prisoners.The mainland continued to report that the French army had approached Rome and the Vatican, and was about to go straight to the headquarters of the Holy See, which was the absolute center of the Western Christian world.
George III pointed to a battle report, his wrinkled hands trembling slightly, "Minister, have you seen the news, that witch!"
"Yes, my Majesty."
An old man's kind and calm voice came from a corner of the bedroom, like the great poet Homer telling the epic of the years, full of temptation and wisdom.
Hearing this voice, the servants couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There is an open secret in the huge Buckingham Palace: the minister is the actual leader who commands the whole of Britain, and the king's most trusted friend. With him there, His Majesty's violent temper as always will be restrained.
"Minister, Joan of Arc is about to annex Italy and conquer the Vatican, you should think of a way!"
"Your Majesty, I must declare that even if the Vatican loses the gun of Longinus, there is still a prop such as the Shroud of Turin [Holy Shroud]. Even if Joan of Arc joins hands with Stacia, it may never return , and to put it bluntly, the interests of Britain are only considered after that..."
"Which side should we stand on, the Kingdom of Sardinia, which is also an ally of the Anti-French Alliance, or the French Republic?"
"Winning side."
George III's tone paused, and after thinking about it, he was indeed right.
It is not the first time that Britain has formed a faction to fight, and no one will blame the leader for not taking care of the younger brother.This is the way the great powers of the Europa continent communicate. If there is a battle, they will gather in one place to grab the spoils.
It’s good to form an alliance. It’s not necessary to pay for the risk alone. Wouldn’t it be beautiful?
It is said that this method is called "robber logic" by Joan of Arc, which fits the image perfectly. Didn't we in Britain rely on pirates to make a fortune?thought the king.
"Well, what if France loses?"
"Organize the coalition forces to rob the Palace of Versailles, support the new French monarch, and then go home and go back to business as usual."
The king nodded knowingly, "Then what if it's another possibility?"
The minister frowned slightly, and his expression was rarely stable. It seemed that even this wise man's strategy was somewhat difficult.
George III was curious about what kind of abilities this Jeanne Darc could have. Even his own minister, who was a scheming minister, found it difficult.
"Although the probability is not high, it must be considered." The minister thought for a moment and said, "I have three strategies: [-]. United with Tsarist Russia, [-]. Trade war, [-]. Sea route threats..."
"First, unite with Czarist Russia to put pressure on the mainland. To unify Italy, Joan of Arc's next step must be the Balkans. There are many ethnic groups and religious conflicts. This muddy water must be muddied by Czarist Russia first. Occupy the Adriatic Sea In the end, Joan of Arc must intend to expand the Black Sea coast, and the heartland of Tsarist Russia cannot be backed down, just a little provocation is enough. There is no peace around France, and there must always be a geopolitical crisis.”
"Secondly, French industry is in dire straits and is not yet competitive in the market. Britain subsidizes its own products, increases tariffs on French products, and sets up trade barriers, making it difficult for her products to move around the world. Not only that, the British pound The field of settlement should be further expanded to trigger more national debts to be purchased by the Europa Continent.”
"Thirdly, Britain's sea fleet maintains a deterrent to France, especially strengthening its military presence in the Mediterranean Sea. It does not need to open fire as long as it creates tension. Financial capital will be worried about France's investment products, and it is difficult for companies to finance. In addition, the fleet weakens the French colonies. Transportation system, it will become more and more difficult for them to maintain the law and order of the huge colony, and it will become a financial bottomless pit."
The minister is sure that as long as any one of these three moves is successful, France will not be able to continue its rapid development.If two moves are successful, France will only be locked in Europe and unable to expand.
Once the three moves are attacked at the same time, France's size will decline no matter what.
A good fighter has no great achievements, even if he doesn't directly dispatch the British naval fleet, Joan of Arc will not even think about making waves.
"Well, if France wins, then use your strategy."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The minister bowed slightly, but no one noticed the playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
It doesn't matter, as long as the power of Buckingham Palace exerts influence, the core interests of Britain have nothing to do with me.Do the players admire the extremely Joan of Arc?You can fight this NPC...
The wind is raging and the undercurrent is raging.When Britain, the leader of the anti-French alliance, chose to remain silent, in fact, people with discerning eyes had already seen that the decision-making of the top Buckingham Palace was laissez-faire.
Although Joan of Arc is very close to the Vatican, it is not certain whether she will win or lose.
Now that Britain has begun to withdraw its troops one after another and express its attitude with silence, those countries that have followed the wind have suddenly made up their minds, and even the leader is too lazy to support the broken tent.
In the blink of an eye, the outlet for France has changed 180 degrees:
The Spanish Empire reached a settlement, and the two sides returned to the relationship of allies, continuing the friendship of the past.The Netherlands was merged into the Rhine Federation, and the colonies were automatically assigned to the unified dispatch of France, and the military capabilities were basically released to only do their own financial business.
Dieng fought a beautiful battle and settled Spain and the Netherlands without spending too much force. His battles were all in the service of diplomatic achievements.
Ai Hayasaka knew that "Europa Juggernaut" had the experience of being a diplomatic envoy, so she arranged Dion on the Iberia battlefield just now, in order to solve the matter in a more peaceful way.When Hayasaka received the news again on the Apennines battlefield, it was already a perfect answer from Dion.
War is bloody politics, diplomacy is bloodless war.
During the period of King Arthur, as long as he had no brains and stubbornness, he would draw his sword to help when the road was injustice. The game of great powers in the classical period was only conquest and plunder, but wisdom was rare.
The game of great powers in the 18th century was no longer simply looting, conquering, and killing each other, but was accompanied by a series of human "inner struggle experience" thought crystallization. Ai Hayasaka thought that she did not have any diplomatic skills, so she simply handed it over to professionals. She was happy to see Dion call it a day.
