St. John's Cemetery, where the bodies of many clergy are buried, was crowded with people today. Many London dignitaries came here to witness this historic moment.
The moment she saw the Pope, Joan began to resist fiercely. Joan, who had been hungry for two days, was very thin. She didn't know where the strength came from to struggle desperately. Her character was firm and tenacious and she could endure the physical pain.
She was tortured, but she was unwilling to accept the trial. The previous trial in the church had already cost her half of her life.
Now the trial in the cemetery has invited the Pope. What does this mean?
No matter how hard Joan of Arc resisted, her thin body was left after being hungry for a long time. She was no match for these armored guards.
She was forced to kneel in front of the Pope, and the guards obviously disliked the bad smell on her body.
The Pope's nose felt a little uncomfortable, but for the sake of dignity he did not pinch his nose. He held up a book in his left hand, with dense words written on each page, but between the lines, there was only one word "God" left. He held it in his right hand.
The golden scepter symbolizes the highest authority and the dignity of God in the mortal world.
The Pope has extremely important significance in European culture.
The Pope with a stern face spoke slowly: "Joan of Arc, you lied that you had received an oracle, you lied that you had seen an angel, you used this lie to start a war, massacred the soldiers of Ingeland, and made countless Ingeland
Many women and children are immersed in the grief of the death of their loved ones.”
"No! You're lying, you're lying!
"Joan of Arc wailed at the top of her lungs. This time her mouth was not gagged like last time. She could speak. Catherine wanted to use this to see her make more fools of herself.
The Pope was not affected by her, and read out her accusations, which were the same as the accusations in the church. It was like stabbing her again, and blood began to ooze from her shoulders.
The inexplicable bleeding startled the people around him.
The struggle just now caused blood to ooze from both of Jeanne's shoulders. One shoulder was caused by the previous sword wound that had not been properly treated and the wound had not fully healed. The other shoulder was caused by a new injury added to the old injury during the struggle just now.
hurt.
In this scene, Joan of Arc's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes and she shouted angrily at the Pope: "You are the spokesperson of God. You should not be like this. You should not go against God's will and judge a devout believer. I will give my life to you."
I swear on my name that I am the most devout believer in God, and I am not guilty!
"
The Pope was frightened by Joan's aura.
But how could he care about Joan's guilt or innocence? He didn't even understand Joan before coming here.
Why did he come to judge Joan of Arc? It's just because they gave her too much.
"God loves the world so much that he even gave his only son to the world. He is kind and open-minded. He never starts wars and never kills mortals. But you have launched wars again and again in the name of God, which has made countless people
You died in a bloody war. You are guilty. You will be expelled from the church and deprived of your status as a believer."
When Joan heard that she was going to be expelled from the church, her eyes went blank. This was even more uncomfortable than killing her, because not being able to die as a believer meant that she would never be able to see her god after she died.
.
It's like, you were originally a senior group member in a black stockings hobby group, but one day the main group leader suddenly judged you in front of all the group friends, saying that you were actually a fake black stockings enthusiast, and falsely accused you of being a nude
If you are a leg lover, but everyone, including the group friends you used to communicate with, have spurned you, you will definitely feel that the sky is falling.
This is a frame-up, this is a murder, they are killing the god in her heart.
The pope placed his scepter on his chest and solemnly recited: "In the name of the pope, I declare you guilty. In the name of the pope, I formally excommunicate you from the church. God will never protect you again. God will never protect you."
I will enlighten you again.”
When the Pope said these words, the surrounding English nobles responded with the strongest cheers. Joan of Arc knelt down on the ground piously and kept praying. She still believed.
But a big kick came, and the guard stopped her from praying. She immediately knelt and sat up again and continued her prayer, but she was only greeted by the guards' punches and kicks.
If the guards had some scruples before, because Joan of Arc's reputation was too great, but now that the Pope has pronounced her a false believer, they no longer have scruples, and after seeing Joan's ugly appearance these days, they have already
A far cry from the saint.
Then the soldiers of the guard brought buckets of cold water and poured it on Joan of Arc, washing away all the mud and feces on her body.
Joan of Arc was shivering from the cold, but she kept chanting her prayers to God, hoping that God would hear her words.
After she was washed, the guards forced her to put on the long white dress worn by penitent women. She refused and were almost pressed in tightly.
After several struggles, Joan of Arc had no strength and collapsed on the ground. She had no strength to struggle anymore. Her eyes were looking at the ground blankly. Not far away were the feet of the nobles. She could only see these things.
.
After a while, she felt dizzy again, and she was helped up by the guardsmen, but this time she was not put on a donkey cart, but was forced to walk out of Saint-Ouen Cemetery.
Today she was expelled from the church, and this was also the last day of her trial.
In the center of London, Lady Catherine had ordered the execution ground to be set up for her execution.
A burning place, surrounded by countless logs, Lady Catherine seemed to have seen the blazing flames. She wanted to kill Joan of Arc's sacrificial flag, then send troops to attack the northern front and win victory in one go.
When Joan of Arc walked to the execution ground prepared for her, she seemed to see the future in front of her eyes at this moment. She would die in the fire. She saw her skin being scorched inch by inch in the burning of the flames.
Her eyes and bones will be eroded by the scorching fire, and she can feel countless pains.
Flames will fill all around her. This is the first time she is so afraid of death. She used to fight for his beliefs. Even if she dies, she believes that she will go to her god, enter heaven, and be surrounded by the holy light.
, but now she has been officially excommunicated from the church by the Pope, the spokesman of God, and God no longer protects her.
She is just a poor little girl.
"Save me, save me." She no longer chanted her prayers. She just looked helplessly at everyone around her. She looked at everyone she could see, men, women, and the elderly.
, children, ladies, farmers, beggars, nobles, asking for help.
But only livid faces greeted her. Wherever she went, everyone avoided her. She would be executed in the name of a witch, becoming the antonym of a saint.
At this time, a commotion broke out in the crowd, and several men holding long swords rushed out and rushed in the direction of Joan of Arc. They were Joan of Arc's followers.
The king and prince of France did not try their best to save Joan of Arc, but instead let Joan of Arc suffer humiliation in Ingeland. This was intolerable to them. They quietly crossed the strait and bribed the guards, but they arrived too late.
, when we arrived, Joan of Arc had already been taken to the execution ground.
A dozen French soldiers gathered together and reached a consensus that Joan of Arc must be saved even if they risked their lives.
When they arrived at the execution ground, they did not hesitate to draw their hidden swords in order to impress Joan of Arc.
"For France!"
"God bless France!"
In the midst of shouts, Joan's loyal followers rushed towards Joan, who was being held tightly.
Joan of Arc looked at the familiar faces with tears in her eyes. These comrades who followed her to fight together, her cries were finally heard.
Bang
A gunshot interrupted Joan's tears. With the gunshot, a French soldier fell in a pool of blood. Joan looked in disbelief at the musketeers appearing on the rooftops on both sides.
Lady Catherine had long been prepared for someone to rob the execution ground, and she wanted to catch them all here.
Gunshots rang out one after another, and the followers of Joan of Arc who had been coming for a long time fell down one by one. The nearest one fell in front of Joan of Arc, and the blood flowed to Joan of Arc along the wet ground.
It was warm, even hot, burning her.
Joan of Arc burst into tears, her eyes were lifeless, and she shouted feebly: "No, no, no."
At this moment, her ears no longer heard the jeers and cheers of the people around her, only the sound of countless gunshots and the sound of her friends falling to the ground. Despair was like a black hole, sucking her deeply into it.
The last man in France died heroically.
It seemed like countless French knights were kneeling in front of her. True romance is bravery, fearlessness and sincerity.
"You overestimated French people, do you still think that a few of you can disturb our execution ground in Ingeland? We have already prepared for you, just in time to catch them all."
Lady Catherine smiled proudly.
Just when she was feeling triumphant, an attendant hurriedly ran to her side and whispered: "Madam, what's wrong, the Ming Dynasty's army appeared at the seaside and has entered the Thames River at this time."
Because of the noise, Lady Catherine could not hear clearly, so the attendant could only get closer and said: "Madam, the Ming army is coming."
After hearing clearly, Lady Catherine immediately turned pale: "What's going on? What's going on?"
"Not long ago, the Ming Dynasty's warships suddenly sailed into the Thames River, bombarding them wildly along the way. Our army was unable to resist at all. The Ming Dynasty's warships are now in uninhabited territory."
"How is it possible? This is not the first time I have seen the Ming Dynasty's warships. The port and the river bank are heavily guarded. How could this be possible?"
"Madam, go and take a look. There are at least twenty Ming warships on the seaside and the Thames. Moreover, the Ming army has landed for the first time. There is also a strange balloon in the sky, with Ming soldiers sitting on it.
.”
"Ah?" Lady Catherine seemed to be listening to someone telling a story. She didn't believe it was like this. How could so many Ming soldiers suddenly appear and actually land? The usually cautious Ming army had never directly landed to fight.
This landing operation shows that the Ming army now has extremely sufficient personnel and supplies.
Lady Catherine panicked for a moment. Before she could make any judgment, another attendant brought the latest news: "The Yinglan army was defeated in a big way, and the Ming army is now marching straight in, as if they are entering an uninhabited country."
Lady Catherine's mind went blank and she didn't know what to do.
When Owen Tudor learned the news, he quietly said to Lady Catherine: "Madam, now we have to find a way to escape."
"But there are our most elite troops in London, and they can resist the Ming army tenaciously." Lady Catherine still placed her hope in her own army.
"Madam, if we can defend it, we will come back. We are also to protect the king. If we cannot defend it, the target of the Ming Sea King will be you. Think about what the Ming Sea King will do to you. You are beautiful and beautiful.
The most beautiful woman in Lan, if you fall into the hands of the evil dragon of the Ming Dynasty, I don’t know how he will torture you."
"I don't believe what a young boy in his twenties can do to me." Lady Catherine was not convinced now. She didn't know what a young man of this age was like. He had physical strength and enthusiasm but was easily nervous and excited.
"Mrs. Catherine, there are also several boats of hungry Ming soldiers."
"Let's go, let's go quickly." Lady Catherine immediately made up her mind.
"Wait." The fickle woman immediately stopped and looked around carefully. Now many people from London City have gathered here. It will take some time for the Ming Army to break in. After the Ming Army arrives, the people here will
The most, and it would definitely attract the most Ming troops. She immediately made up her mind to let this place continue, so that it could help her attract attention and give her more time to escape.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, he announced to everyone: "The French witch Joan of Arc, who lied about seeing an angel, triggered a war between England and France, and intended to subvert England, has been expelled from the church by the Pope today. I
Sentence her to death, to be burned at the stake.”
The crowd erupted in excitement, most of them just watching the excitement. For this ragtag group of people, burning a French witch to death was very exciting.
The entire execution ground was bustling with excitement, except for the executioner who was a little uneasy. He was a devout believer and he knew that this trial of Joan of Arc was unfair, but he had to light the fire for this killing, which made him feel uneasy.
Joan of Arc walked slowly towards the steps, holding the cross in her hand and chanting: "Oh God, Oh God."
When she was tied to the burning platform, she looked at the body of the French man who died heroically for her. The cross in her hand slowly fell, passed through the gaps in the boards and fell into the middle of the piled wood, sinking into the damp and
In the black soil.
At this time, a guard whispered in her ear: "If you want to live, just shout. If you want to live, don't shout to God, shout to the person who can save you."
Joan of Arc was surprised as to why the guard said this to her. Looking into the distance, it seemed as if there was a young man standing on the top of the clock tower looking at her, waiting for her.
