Edmund Transberio said, “Over the years, through the restarted war, I have acquired enough mystery to further refine the long-standing magical foundation of Transberio and lay the foundation for the monarchy—but what happened more than ten years ago remains a stain on my life.”

"Terez Barliuereta, you should understand."

"You should also understand that you can no longer live."

"But rest assured, after your death, I will send your magic mark back to your family, and I will also help your family to further lay the foundation of their magic. Your descendants are very talented and may become a great help to me in the future."

"As for the 'letter' you brought..."

"A challenge from Tuval? I, Edmund the Lion, a Grand Magician of the Magic Association, the Monarch of the Basic Courses of the Clock Tower—accept it!"

There was a bang.

The magic circuit is like a furnace starting up.

A surge of violent magic erupted from Edmund's body, instantly transforming into a raging torrent of elements that tore apart the trembling, helpless figure before him.

...

[You led an army of 18,000 men—including hundreds of noble knights, thousands of knights' squires, thousands of fully armed soldiers, and nearly ten thousand militiamen—out of the castle of Orléans in a grand procession.]

The original garrison of Orléans has also joined your army. Jean de Dunois, the French commander who had defended Orléans for nearly half a year, suggested that the army set its sights on Normandy or Paris—for France, capturing these two major northern cities would give it a huge advantage in terms of morale and future strategic direction.

But Joan of Arc rejected his offer, though she admitted it was right and rational, but she said—

['What we can think of right now, the enemy can naturally think of too.']

She seemed to be referring to the lightning-fast campaign you had planned earlier; the essence of battle is to strike unexpectedly.

[It was just one war that allowed her to grasp the essence of warfare that many generals never achieve in their entire lives, and she put it into practice, which makes you feel deeply moved.]

If only she had that kind of talent for reading and writing!

Joan of Arc's final marching direction was along the Loire River, which runs east-west through the central part of France. By controlling the entire river, she could essentially secure a vast territory south of central France.

As a military doctor and staff officer, you also listened to the entire meeting.

[It was only after a military meeting held in a makeshift tent during this march that the suggestion to 'divide the troops' was made in Joan of Arc's private tent.]

[You propose that Joan of Arc lead the army along the Loire River to capture the fortresses built by the English, thus drawing their attention, while you lead another force northward alone, heading deeper into the region, directly towards Paris.]

Joan of Arc agreed and will allocate you an elite force of six thousand men.

Compared to before, she trusts you more.

But you refused.

You only asked for 300 people.

What you say to her

"Next, I will perform miracles that are not divine."

...

It was not a miracle of God; it was not the work of a deity, but rather a pinnacle of skill in the history of human warfare, almost like an art form.

With three hundred elite troops, they pursued south and north, searching mountains and seas.

With only three hundred soldiers, Joan of Arc blocked the English army that was trying to rush south to their aid, allowing Joan of Arc's army to control the Loire River at minimal cost.

even.

With an army of three hundred men, they captured 'Paris' several times.

This tactic was inherited and further developed by later generations, and was known as the 'blitzkrieg' tactic.

He also brought the tactics of 'special forces' to the historical stage of medieval Europe.

—From *A History of World Wars: A Century of Britain and France*

...

Strictly speaking, even with Joan of Arc's troops conquering cities and territories along the Loire River and attracting the attention of the English, a mere three hundred men were still not enough for Lucan to roam freely in the completely occupied northern territories.

But the premise is that these three hundred people are really just 'minor' people, and really just ordinary people.

This was Lu Kang's true purpose.

He wanted to use these three hundred people as a 'blueprint' to practice his 'simulated Great Source' technology, which he had made some breakthroughs in. He wanted to use them as a basis to 'train'—or rather, create—a legion of three hundred superhumans, or perhaps it should be called a knight legion?

In this era, although the knight class possesses mysterious powers inherited from ancient families, they do not belong to the realm of mystery. These families do not have magic markings that record mysterious spells; they only have circuits that can manipulate magic power. They do not know magic; all they can do is release the most basic magic power. They can roam freely on the battlefield without being bound by the confidentiality agreements set by the Mage's Association.

Just like Gilles de Rais, who was one of Joan of Arc's earliest followers.

But the reason why the knight class is the knight class and the noble class is the noble class is precisely because they are few in number and the conditions for their formation are even more demanding than the magical lineages passed down through generations. They do not have a stable magical imprint to pass down and are extremely prone to extinction. For this reason, many families that were originally knights and nobles will completely devote themselves to the mystical side after they rise to power.

This is also an example of the Guildre family; his sister, Isabelle de Rais, is a prime example.

And now.

Lu Kang, however, was determined to break these stringent conditions and create a group of 'knights' out of thin air, comparable to those passed down from ancient families.

[Regardless of skill or strength, once a breakthrough is achieved in theoretical research, it must ultimately be applied to practice—that's your view.]

While your 'Simulated Great Source' technique is far from mature and cannot achieve the effect you desire—making your physical body comparable to the 'Body of the Age of Gods'—theoretically speaking, creating a group of 'Knights' is not difficult.

On this day, you selected three hundred 'farmers' from the army. They had no family background, no 'restrictions,' no blood ties with the powerful and wealthy of various countries, and their loyalty was guaranteed.

You led them away quietly in the dead of night.

No one knew about it either.

You tested their loyalty.

You began to work at night and hide during the day, marching and 'training' troops every day.

[You harness the mystical, using training to imprint the 'simulated Great Source' environment into the bodies of every soldier.]

[The harsh winter of this year has arrived, but your army of three hundred men is marching at an undiminished pace; on the contrary, it is becoming faster and faster.]

During this period, you have been receiving a constant stream of messages from the south, mostly about Joan of Arc's sieges and captures.

You also received letters from Joan of Arc herself.

"It's like seeing you in person, Mr. Vic—I received your last letter. Please proceed at your own pace, without worry. Everything is going well for me. The Lord's revelation is above all, always guiding me and us toward victory. We will ultimately arrive at the same destination, though our paths may differ."

'By the way, I've recently learned to write, at least simple letters are no problem for me—this letter is one I wrote myself, no longer written for me by the army doctor, Ms. Anna.'

You look at the crooked, illegible handwriting on the letter delivered by a winter crow, and slowly revise it, marking numerous grammatical errors.

[You can almost see that girl who was once a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, now sitting in her tent, pen in hand, secretly agonizing over her task, and then, after achieving her goal, brimming with pride.]

[You commented, "It's well written, don't write it again next time."]

['Don't think I can't see it. All the mistakes here are yours, the correct ones were written by Gillespie for you.']

Study hard, don't slack off.

"Wait until I get back, you'll be in big trouble."

You summoned the raven to deliver the letter.

Although you were separated briefly after meeting, it's clear that your relationship with that girl didn't become distant.

On this day, the harsh winter ends, and the new year is about to begin.

This year, you are twenty-five years old.

The three hundred people under your command have completed the foundation work for the 'simulated Great Source'.

As the winter snow melts and the grass grows and kites take flight, you hear that the English have amassed a large army in the north, intending to march south and intercept Joan of Arc's army, which is about to conquer all the banks of the Loire River.

You continued north and encountered a small group of British scouts.

You annihilated them and launched a lightning-fast attack along the path they had come from.

You led your army to annihilate a thousand-strong English force.

You have annihilated an English army of eight hundred men.

You reach the edge of the Seine and see on the opposite bank a large English contingent of tens of thousands.

You crossed the river to attack, and after a fierce assault, you decisively retreated.

Two days later, you launched another attack.

[Three days later...]

This army of ten thousand was routed by your strategy of attrition, with many deserters fleeing and scattering. Only three thousand survivors were gathered, and they were ultimately forced to retreat a hundred miles.

Your three hundred men are now capable of fighting independently, each one able to take on a hundred opponents.

You have finally decided to lead them to attack Paris, the high city on the banks of the Anse River.

This high city will be the best place for you to test your achievements.

What kind of "knight" are they if they don't all reach a level of "Gundam-like" skill?

...

The earliest magicians originated at the beginning of the Common Era as a group of bounty hunters who used mysterious methods to hunt for survival. However, the great development of this mysterious profession of magician was delayed until the birth of Vic Tuval.

Until his three hundred 'paladins' were formed.

With only three hundred men, they conquered the high city of Paris.

It was because of the impact of that battle that amazed the world that decades later, the Mage's Association finally included 'magicians'—those who did not understand magic but only knew how to use magic power—in its secrecy policy.

—The Mysterious Job Lineages of the Magic Side

...

You ultimately led three hundred knights to breach the walls of Paris, protected by the walls of Charles V, and routed the thousands of defenders—at the cost of only a few seriously wounded men, with no one killed.

Although compared to the true knights of the Age of Gods, and compared to the Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur in the former England—Britain—they were far inferior.

However, after being tempered by several battles, the fighting prowess of your knights has astonished the world.

Beyond your reputation for knowledge, you have also begun to gain greater fame in the secular world.

People call you a 'saint' who manifests miracles, a 'miracle worker'.

The three hundred knights under your command are called 'Paladins'.

Of course, this is only how the French people address you.

As for England...

They say you're 'The Wild Hunt'

Chapter 59 Charlie Trapped, Sword and Shield

The Wild Hunt, the embodiment of storms, the master of demons, leads the legions of the dead across the North, bringing with them the calamity of hunting down the living.

This title alone reveals the fear and hatred the English people held for you.

Do you like this title?

After capturing Paris, you didn't make many changes to this city, which had been lost to England for nearly ten years. You didn't reorganize it because you understood that with only three hundred men, no matter how strong your fighting power was, you couldn't take care of the entire city and protect it.

For you, conquering this city is merely a final division of your 'theoretical practice'.

For you, this city has never been a prison.

Instead, it's a 'bait'.

As expected, a few days later, the English again brought in a large army from the port, assembling tens of thousands of troops, and rushed towards Paris—they would not allow the city to return to French hands; as long as the French capital remained in their control, they would always maintain the greatest initiative—this was clearly what the English believed.

Henry VI, the ten-year-old King of England, had long ago attempted to seize the crown of the French king from Paris.

Faced with a massive English army of tens of thousands, you abandoned the city and fled.

Once they occupy Paris, then turn around and besiege it.

[After the attack, they fled.]

[attack again]

The English army of tens of thousands was gradually worn down in the tug-of-war.
