Chapter 203 Bell Tower Fire
"What a bullshit process!" A young nobleman cursed, "If it weren't for these processes, the Crown Prince wouldn't have become Charles VII. Those trash in Burgundy couldn't even stop the Crown Prince's army. Live. A coronation ceremony can make you an orthodox king. Why?"

"Be careful, even the king must obey the Pope's arrangements." An old nobleman said, "Although the Pope is nonsense, they are the best tool to rule the common people."

"Then let's do it again!" said the young noble. "Isn't she illiterate anyway? Let her sign the confession document. After signing, she will admit that she is a heretic, and then let her sign a document of commitment. ! As long as we allow serious crimes to be committed.”

"Wonderful plan, but a bit shameless." A sinister voice appeared behind the noble.

"Who!" Several nobles turned around suddenly, and the guards around them also drew their weapons at this time.

"Hey, didn't you see clearly in the telescope just now?" Hanasaka looked at the nobles in front of him, "Are they all civilians? Isn't there a magician? I originally wanted to get some magician seals."

"Heresy!" said an old nobleman, "Here is the Lord..."

Before the noble could finish speaking, his throat was pierced by a sharp knife.Looking at Hanasaka who appeared in front of him, his eyes were wide open, like a dead fish.

"When you meet your lord, remember to say hello to him for me." Huasaka pulled out his dagger after finishing speaking.

As the noble's body fell heavily to the ground, several of his guards immediately rushed forward. At this moment, they had already put their own lives aside.As a knight, it is a serious crime for the person you protect to be killed. If they can take revenge, they can wash away part of the shame. If they cannot take revenge, there are only two results waiting for them - death or life worse than death.

"Let's retreat first!" The young nobleman who came up with the bad idea immediately said, "You guys, go help!"

He could see clearly in the telescope that this guy could kill the heavily armored knights. The few knights without armor could not stop the opponent at all, so they could only use their lives to delay time.

It's just that he knew the horror of Hanasaka, but those knights didn't know the terror of Hanasaka. After all, they didn't see the scene of Hanasaka killing the armored cavalry.Or, they knew the horror of Hanasaka, but faced the Lord's order, they had no room to resist.

Hanasaka has no mercy for these knights. After knowing that this is a trap against Joan of Arc, he has regarded these guys as tools. Since they are tools, there is no need to talk about human nature!

With the swing of the dagger, the knights fell down one by one. He struck very simply, and these knights should not feel unnecessary pain.

By the time he got rid of all the guards, the nobles had only just reached half of the bell tower. Even the fastest young noble had only just reached the first floor.

"Earth escape, split earth and turn palms!"

After Hanasaka completed the seal with his hands, he slapped his hands directly on the floor. Chakra was transmitted directly to the ground along the floor. Then, the foundation of the entire clock tower began to collapse. It didn't take long for the clock tower to collapse. .

"Help!"

"Asshole, what's going on! How could it be at this time..."

"I don't want to die yet!"

The wailing sounds of the nobles came from the ruins. Some parts of the bell tower are still wooden structures. If you are lucky, you will not be killed. At most, you will only be injured.

However, Hanasaka would not give these guys a chance. He formed seals with his hands again and used the powerful fireball technique to directly cover a large area of ​​ruins. It didn't take long for the ruins to burst into flames.

A lot of civilians gathered around. They were planning to come to rescue people, but when they saw such a big fire, they could only stop.Their inner kindness and faith are not enough to support them to risk their lives to save others. By the way, they have already sentenced the people in the bell tower to death.

The fire began to spread, and the surrounding civilians began to arrange isolation belts to prevent the fire from continuing to spread.

Hanasaka followed the crowd, drifted with the crowd, and finally disappeared.

Killing these nobles does not mean that Joan is safe. What that guy can think of, other nobles must also be able to think of.His action of intercepting the execution field just now has made those nobles feel scared. They will definitely find a way to kill Joan of Arc. After all, the dead are worthless.

In the minds of those nobles, those in France may fight for a living Joan of Arc, but they, or most French people, cannot risk their lives for a dead Joan of Arc.

Facts have proved that Hanasaka's guess was correct, because those noble nobles thought exactly that.

The plan to burn the "witch" to death is imperative, and it must be done quickly!To kill the "French" devil before she takes revenge on them.

For the past two days, Hanasaka has been staying in Lyon. He has been looking for the place where Joan of Arc is held, but unfortunately, he can't find where this place is.

After a armored cavalry was killed and the "bell tower fire" occurred, the nobles realized that the original prison was no longer safe, so they immediately transferred Joan of Arc.

The original prison is no longer safe. No amount of guards can stop the devil from France, so now Joan of Arc has to be transferred to a place he doesn't know.

The day after they transferred Joan of Arc, the prison where Joan of Arc was originally held was robbed, all the guards were killed, and a large number of prisoners were released, creating a lot of chaos.

Fortunately, many troops were deployed around Lyon, and these lords' troops promptly suppressed and captured the fugitives who escaped from the prison.

"Have you really moved? But where will it be moved next?" Hanasaka hid in a small attic and studied the map.

His understanding of Daying's history and geography was only slightly better than that of a junior high school student, so he couldn't guess where those Daying nobles would move Joan of Arc. ,

"I didn't expect that the famous devil would hide in this place." At this moment, a clear voice sounded at the entrance of the stairs.

Hanasaka looked at the person who appeared at the top of the stairs and frowned, "Who are you? Are you here to arrest me? Alone?" He hiding here does not mean that he is afraid, but that he is annoyed.Since he caused the fire in the bell tower, Lyon's soldiers, the guards of the nobles, and the army went crazy and conducted several carpet-like searches throughout Lyon.

Huasaka was spotted by the other party seven times in one day, so she had no choice but to hide, but she was still found from time to time.

"I am a knight under Marshal Gilles de Rey, Rost." The man opened his arms, "I do not carry weapons on me. I am here to seek cooperation. On the road to rescue the Saint, our The goals are the same.”

"Why did you come to me?" Hanasaka didn't have any favorable impression of the name "Gills de Rey".

Maybe the marshal of this world is still a normal marshal, but that Caster has disgusted him so much that he can't cooperate with such a guy.

"We want to seek cooperation, and we need your strength." Rost said seriously.

"You should know my strength. What can you come up with if you cooperate with me?" Hanasaka stared at Rost and said, "If I remember correctly, the military pay of the Crown Prince's line has been exhausted, and his There is very little land, and it is impossible to carry out enfeoffment. What’s more, the rescue of Joan of Arc is not recognized by Charles VII.”

Rost's face turned pale. Indeed, they had no money now, and it was impossible for Charles VII to distribute the land to the man in front of him.The most important thing is that after Charles VII conquered Reims and completed his coronation, he had a disagreement with the saint. This is a semi-public fact within the French army.

Joan of Arc demanded that Paris be conquered in one fell swoop and France regained.Charles VII rejected Joan of Arc's request on the grounds that military expenditures were insufficient and the army needed rest and adjustment.

This directly led to Joan of Arc launching a battle without logistics, and was eventually captured by the Burgundian army. It can be said that the "betrayal" of Charles VII played a major role in Joan of Arc's current fate.

Now in Lyon, those who were preparing to rescue Joan of Arc were all French "righteous men", and these "righteous men" began to waver when they learned that the religious courts had declared Joan of Arc a heretic.

A large part of them came to this strange land to rescue this girl because they believed that Joan of Arc was a saint sent by the Lord to save France, but now the motivation to support them disappeared.

"If you believe in the Lord and the church, what you should do now is to leave Lyon." Hanasaka stared at Rost in front of him and said, "That girl is a heretic."

"No, she is not a heretic, she is Joan of Arc, and she is the hero who saved France." Rost said firmly, "The courts in Lyon are unfair and corrupt! They have been manipulated by King Ying!"

"Where is the evidence?" Hanasaka looked at Rost in front of him and said, "Why do you say that the church court in Lyon is corrupt and unfair. Who do you think you are? Even Charles VII cannot make such a verdict. , he must appeal and request through the Roman Church, and finally the Roman Church will make a judgment. What you just did is slandering the church and is a serious crime!"

Rost's body trembled. Hanasaka's hat was too big.If the charges are proven, he will never recover.

"You're talking nonsense!" Rost said, squeezing his neck, "This..."

"It may be nonsense now, because there are only two of you and me here, and no third person knows what you just said." Hanasaka said with a smile, "But after you rescue Joan of Arc, it will no longer be nonsense. .Can a knight who saves heretics still be called a knight?"

Rost's face turned pale. No matter how Angegland and France fought, they had to obey the referee's decision.

In Europe now, the legal system is the strongest, and the crown prince is the weakest. But just because he completed the coronation ceremony in Reims, he is the legitimate king of France.No matter how powerful and territorial the Duke of Burgundy is, he is still a rebel and is not recognized by orthodoxy.

The church court in Lyon has already pronounced Joan's crime, and Joan has "confessed", so until the Holy See "rehabilitates" Joan, Joan is a guilty heretic, and the knight cannot help the heretic.

The expression on Rost's face gradually collapsed. His simple mind could not fully understand everything Hanasaka said, but he knew that what Hanasaka said was right, and the reality was so desperate.

"Is this the reason why Charles VII didn't rescue the saint?" Rost asked in a daze.

"Part of it." Hanasaka said slowly.

"Then why are you going to save the Saint?" Rost stared at Hanasaka and said, "Since you already know the consequences of rescuing the Saint, why are you still doing this?"

"Because I'm not a knight? What France needs is not a saint, a pope, or a king." Hanasaka stared at Rost in front of him and said, "What France needs is a hero, a hero who can lead France to establish its own kingdom. , a hero who protects France from the great invaders. In my eyes, Joan of Arc is not a saint, she is a hero, and she has nothing to do with the Pope!"

A fanatical expression appeared on the face of the knight named Rost, and he instantly figured out what he, or the land called France, really needed.What they need is not God, but a hero who can bring France out of the predicament.

"So, what is your choice?" Hanasaka asked, looking at Rost in front of him.

"I don't know, but I can help you." Rost thought for a while and said, "For example, where the saint may be detained."

"Maybe?" Hanasaka frowned, "Do you know how serious consequences a possibility could have on the battlefield?"

"Of course I know, but this is King Yin's territory, and we have very few manpower here." Rost said helplessly, "After the church court in Lyon declared Joan of Arc to be a heretic, there were even more people willing to help us. It’s missing, we compiled this map using the elimination method.”

Hanasaka glanced at the map, then took it away.

"What do you need us to do with you?" Rost considered it and asked.

"Are you not afraid of being accused of saving heretics? Or do you and your companions not care?" Hanasaka was stunned.

"I don't know, I haven't made a decision yet." Rost said with determination, "But, as you said, we need heroes who can lead France out of the predicament. Our attack on Lyon has nothing to do with rescuing the Saint. This is just revenge for Da Ying."

Hanasaka rubbed his chin, no good, this knight seems to have been misled by him and became shameless.
