It is more appropriate to sell money to Greenland when Egil and Aurora bargained for money. Egil insisted that if it really didn't work, send a fleet south to occupy the Madeira Islands. Then set out directly from there and occupied the West Indies. As a result, after Egil said this, Aurora didn't say anything. He muttered: You don't have such a strong navy at all, and you will also serve vegetables when you go there. However, Egil thought for a while, but felt that this method was much better than going around a lot and then reaching a large piece of ice and snow. The climate in the West Indies is quite suitable for planting economic crops such as sugarcane, cocoa and coffee. Although the territory is a little smaller, it can be barely considered the size of a kingdom compared to the European countries that are also not very large.

However, I thought so. But Egil is not a professional geography student. So I don’t know exactly where the Madeira Islands are. I just remember that there was such a place that was owned by Portugal back then. The location should be the northbound voyage in the middle of the Iberian Peninsula and headed west. After a few days... it might be more than ten days... and then we arrived later.

However, I don’t know the geographical location of this place now. I don’t know whether this place is occupied by someone. In fact, Egil is not even sure whether there is still a Madeira Island in this world - after all, what Aurora said is, “This world is similar to the one you lived in before. If you have to convert it into a numerical value, it is almost 99% the same.”

Egil was not sure whether such an island with an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers was 99% or 1% inside.

"Forget it. You have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, just follow what that guy said, and change it to Iceland, and wait until the navigation technology is stronger before thinking about other solutions."

In this way, Egil gave General Carter such an inexplicable order - to take out the latest twelve brigs that had just passed the experiment, form a capable expedition and caravan to the Iberian Peninsula, and then sail westward, where there should be an island...

"This...how do you know there is an island there?" General Carter endured such a problem and executed this order. General Carter originally wanted to qualify the twelve brig sailboats used for experiments, as a new type of ship for the fleet. In recent times, the Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean have become more and more rampant, with warships built larger and larger, and the number of pirates has increased. The navy that needs escort will continue to increase. Therefore, General Carter is under great pressure.

Whether it is going south to escort the merchant fleet or transporting the army to Normandy, it is an important and urgent task. From the entire Norman Navy to the naval commander and the slaves who rowed and rode the water wheels, they were all tired like dead dogs. Especially in recent times, many of the rowing slaves have been exhausted. Most of the territory along the North Sea and the Baltic Sea have been occupied by the Normans, or countries that are not hostile to the Normans, they cannot capture slaves at will. If you want to obtain enough manpower, you still have to capture pagans from the south and the Mediterranean coasts.

This may be one of the reasons why the pagans who believe in Islam are hostile to their own side. But no matter what, they have taken the noble Christians into slavery, and they are so sincere.

In this way, it seems that the hatred and war between Asia Minor, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The grudges and wars between Muslims and Christians seem to be endless...

Therefore, General Carter really wanted to get these ships. These ships did not require slave paddles and were completely dependent on wind power. Moreover, because the hull was light and the sails were designed reasonably, the speed was not worse than that of ordinary improved crossbow armor. The size of these fast sailing ships was similar to that of crossbow warships. Not having to load so many slaves means that more pirates and sailors could be loaded for combat. This way, the combat power could be further improved... Of course, if there was no wind, this kind of ship would be hard.

This kind of tragedy shouldn't have happened, right?

perhaps.

However, the lord of his family was not in charge of the family, and he didn't know that the firewood and rice were expensive. He didn't know that the sailors were working hard. He just said that he was like playing, and he took these dozens of boats in it. The route to Iberia was ready-made and it didn't take much effort - but the ocean is so vast, where should I find such an archipelago? Isn't this fun?

In this way, the first step to open up a new continent was decided like this. Aurora seemed very disappointed and had not come to Egil to chat and push her around in recent days. Therefore, Egil has been having a very good life these days.

In this way, at the end of August, eight hours after the expedition fleet left, the Norman army was prepared in Oslo and Gothenburg. After using the Ore Waterway, the fleet gathered together. A total of four or five hundred large ships of various colors, carrying 50,000 and 60,000 naval and 60,000 sea and land troops, heading towards Normandy. If nothing unexpected happens, after one to two months of voyage, the Norman army will land in France. Even if someone has the ability to understand ghosts and gods, he will not be able to tamper with the overall situation.

However, no one expected that even in more than a month, the situation in France had changed drastically, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a complete change!

At the same time at the end of August, with the support of Laher and Giles, the girl honored as Joan of Arc finally gained the support of French noble officers. At the same time, France's 14,000 troops headed north, and the troops headed straight to Paris.

Along the way, very surprising things happened one after another. Almost all the noble castle owners who had turned against Artoria accepted Joan of Arc's advice at the first time. While enlightened, they cried bitterly, donated money, materials, soldiers and lives to help Joan of Arc. In this way, the army continued to grow like a snowball. At the same time, there was no problem with logistics supply. All French farmers were willing to donate the small amount of food they had left...

Of course, the girl's opponent, Norman's Blood Queen, was not an idle meal. She arranged a lot of sporting posts between Paris and Orleans, a small army, and a temporary simple wooden fortress - the defense effect of these things was not very good. Artoria did this mainly to effectively control this area. She was not Egil, and could exchange qualified government officials from the system to handle all civil affairs and security matters, and build various buildings and entertainment facilities to improve public satisfaction. She could only rely on the army, force, and the French nobles who surrendered in the face of the battle to consolidate her own rule.

Of course, this is actually not a clever way to do it. Today, Paris, the Ile-de-France region is in chaos. Various bandits, mobs, guerrillas, militias, nobles armed bandits, road domineers, and rivers... In short, except for Paris and within 50 kilometers of the outskirts of Paris, the rest of the places are in such a semi-chaotic anarchy...

Artoria was very puzzled by this. She had said before that this woman is good at war and other things. But she was completely confused about governing the country. Being able to send troops to implement military control is the best way this guy can think of.

Although this system has indeed made the public security in the occupied areas better to some extent - no, it should be said that it has only changed a little bit. Before that, it was the robber lords and the gangsters who charged high taxes from the people. Now, it was the Normans and Celtics.

Without clear orders, these guys are no different from ordinary bandits. They even said that they exploited the French more powerfully - because they are stronger and have a higher degree of organization. Some small-scale tax-resistance activities are not required to ask Paris for instructions, and they can directly flatten them. Later, they use the tax-resistance villages as role models to kill people...

In this way, the French hated, hated and cursed these invaders. Although the security situation on the surface improved, the French had completely and completely hated these Normans and Celtics deep in their hearts. Artoria knew a little about all this - but she didn't care. Like Egil, Artoria was also a ruler who loved the army extremely, and could see all the crimes of her army with the most forgiving eyes. Robbery, rape, burning, abuse, and blackmail, etc.

King Arthur, he doesn't care about these things at all.

I hope to resist, I hope to drive them away, and I hope to live a better life... So, I hope a savior.

Under such conditions, the army led by Joan of Arc entered the Ile-de-France region.

She held her own flag high, one with a striking red, white and blue flag representing freedom. And her two entourages, one of whom was holding the French traditional blue-bottomed irises flag. The other was holding the three archangels, St. Michael, St. Margaret and St. Catherine, who portrayed the three archangels, St. Michael, St. Margaret and St. Catherine

The flag. At the same time, she rushed to the first place in every small-scale battle. She used such actions to inspire her soldiers.
