Chapter 372: Hundred Years' War
"You mean to say that all the elite soldiers in one of my camps were slaughtered, and their purpose was to rescue those hundreds of slaves?"

"Yes, sir."

Steve replied weakly that not all the slaves had left, they got the information from the remaining slaves. Of course, it was not a mistake on the other side, these living slaves were deliberately left behind by the slave who had received God's favor.

"Besides, he left a message."

"That God-favored One?"

"Ah."

"What did he say?"

"He said...well, he said, let you clean your neck and wait obediently, he will give you back everything he has endured ten thousand times."

"hehe."

Hearing this, Andre couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he quickly put away his smile.

He laughed out loud because he was mocking the arrogance of this god-favored person. Not to mention him, even the few righteous gods in the world today would not dare to provoke their British Empire.

Putting away his smile is his usual code of conduct.

After all, he is a person favored by God. You must know that every person favored by God possesses incredible abilities.

Moreover, it can be seen that this God-favored One is very cautious. After gaining power, he did not choose to retaliate against him directly, but hid himself. In fact, his subordinates just said that their tracking team could not find the opponent's position at all.

It is obvious that this God-favored person and the hundreds of serfs he brought with him are looking for an opportunity. They will only take action when they are fighting with the people of the Franky Empire.

"Report this matter to the Royal Alchemy Institute and ask them to send someone over."

"Yes, sir."

Royal Alchemy.

It is an organization affiliated with the British royal family, responsible for leading all alchemy technologies in the British Empire.

This is the core of it.

Then, under it, there is an existence similar to the Inquisition that imitates the setting of the church, called the Alchemical Inquisition.

Its job is to be a special forces unit, specialized in solving various problems of extraordinary people for the British Empire.

And the one favored by God is one of them.

Just like what the orc that Li Zhongren transformed before thought.

As the world entered the age of industrial alchemy, the gods' cloak had long been stripped off.

Humans have completely mastered the way to slaughter gods.

Those righteous gods are easy to deal with. They have a deep foundation and humans are unwilling to break off relations with them. Besides, gods also have their own value in existence.

However, the newly born gods were, in the eyes of humans, extraordinary materials.

Today, the Queen of the British Empire, Victoria I, wears a crown inlaid with twenty-one gems. These gems are actually made from the godheads hunted by the Alchemical Inquisition.

The largest gem among them comes from Sindhu.

The British Empire conquered that place and killed the native gods of Sindhu and made them into gems.

So, although this incident was an accident, Andre did not take it too seriously.

Rather than being a person who was lucky enough to be favored by an unknown evil god, he cared more about the current war.

Or more accurately, this series of wars.

The war between the British Empire and the French Empire has lasted for nearly a hundred years.

The root cause of the war is also simple: land, and the wealth on the land, including but not limited to population, food, minerals, and so on.

At first, the two countries were evenly matched.

For a time, even their British Empire was in a weak position.

However, since the emergence of Watt, the master of alchemy of the British Empire, he has driven the development of the entire British Empire, and the national strength of the British Empire has continued to rise like the sun.

It can even be said that in Britain today, alchemy is the core of everything, and the gods have to stand aside.

On the contrary, although the Franky Empire also introduced alchemy, due to the lack of leaders like Master Watt, the alchemy there was actually suppressed by the Orthodox sect they believed in.

This led to the war entering a new era.

Facing the alchemical weapons of the British Empire, the Franky Empire was defeated.

So far, the Frankish Empire has lost half of its territory, and even their capital, Brari, has fallen and become an occupied area of ​​​​the British Empire.

Of course, that’s the front line.

The area where he himself was located was still the border between the British Empire and the French Empire.

For example, the area where the serf who escaped today was located belonged to the Frankish Empire about ten years ago, and later belonged to the British Empire. This is why they captured these serfs to consume the bullets of the Frankish Empire. They were not their own family members, so they did not feel sorry for using them.

Then, there are the orders he has received so far and the overall combat strategy.

What he had to do was to defeat the Grand Duke of Lorraine of the Frankish Empire.

This is a very important task.

The reason is also very simple.

Just now, he said that the British Empire had conquered about half of the territory of the Frankish Empire, but this area was a semi-long arc. The Lorraine region controlled by the Grand Duke of Lorraine was actually in the center and rear of the area controlled by the British Empire.

It can be said that the Grand Duke of Lorraine is capable of threatening the logistics of the British Empire.

So, the empire sent him, Andrew, a descendant of one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table from the time of King Arthur, to personally attack the Lorraine region.

As long as they are eliminated, the British Empire will have no worries in the rear areas occupied by it.

However, this is an important task, but also a difficult one.

The fact that the Grand Duke of Lorraine was able to stand firmly in the Lorraine region without being defeated during the Hundred Years' War between the two countries is enough to prove how powerful he is.

Therefore, this time, the empire spent a lot of money to deal with the Grand Duke of Lorraine.

Including him, a total of three Knights of the Round Table were dispatched to attack the Lorraine region from three directions.

At the same time, the Victoria, the empire's highest alchemical-level war weapon, was sent to the front line.

Victoria is a ship.

It is a ship that can fly.

The source of its ability to fly is a precious tree in the secret realm of Avalon controlled by the royal family.

This kind of tree is not only as hard as steel, but also has the natural ability to resist gravity.

The only drawback is that it grows extremely slowly and its number is extremely rare.

How much less?
As few as two.

The tree used to build the Victoria is the same tree planted by King Arthur, number 1353.

It took five hundred years to grow into a big tree.

But it's nonsense to think of using it to build a ship. In fact, it was imprisoned inside the Victoria, and the power of the tree was enhanced through alchemical formations, allowing it to further drive the entire ship and float into the sky.

Combined with the traditional technology of the British Empire, the steam engine, it can enable it to sail in the sky as well as in the sea.

The power of the Victoria is also unquestionable, at least that's what the people at the Royal Alchemy Institute say.

It is known as the unsinkable ship.

During its test voyage phase, it helped the British Empire eliminate several forces entrenched around the empire.

Proved its value.

Then, only this year, he was sent to the front line.

The empire planned to use this treasure ship to eliminate the Grand Duke of Lorraine in one fell swoop and prepare for the complete occupation and destruction of the Frankish Empire in the future.

This is also the reason why, even though he is just a person favored by God, he has to contact the Alchemical Inquisition in the country immediately.

No one can guarantee whether this battle will be won. After all, it is a fact that the Grand Duke of Lorraine is powerful. However, they must be meticulous in their preparations. If there is a problem in any link, once the war fails, you will be the scapegoat afterwards, and even the Twelve Knights of the Round Table will be of no use.

Lorraine

In a valley somewhere.

Li Zhongren was commanding hundreds of people under his control to set up camp.

Under his control, these hundreds of illiterate serfs demonstrated the abilities that only the most elite troops could achieve. They obeyed his orders without any delay.

After all, he was the one controlling these people with his mind right now.

Before long, one by one, the wilderness survival tents hidden deep in the jungle were built. Although this was the wilderness, the tools provided by the God-given skills allowed these serfs to completely liberate their productivity.

Chopping down trees, gathering hay, that sort of thing.

These half-buried trench-like caves are enough to shelter from wind and rain.

The other team sent out collected enough food.

Finally, Li Zhongren opened his map again and placed secret sentries in every corner. The purpose of these secret sentries was to open up the field of vision.

In a sense, it's like he's turning on a full-map cheat.

Moreover, there is no delay in communication between all the teams he controls, making it impossible to be detected.

All in all, that's it.

Since he came to this world, he can finally rest in peace.
night.

Li Zhongren opened his eyes.

Went out and peed.

Look at the night sky.

A completely unfamiliar star map.

Proves that this is a completely unfamiliar world.

To be honest, until now, he still feels a little emotional. His life experience is really rich.

Then, what to do next.

To be honest, he only knew that he wanted revenge, revenge on the British Empire.

Revenge is not just for revenge.

And also for my own future.

The world is so big and there are so many resources.

If you eat one more bite, others will eat one less bite.

Therefore, since he possesses cheats, it is inevitable that he will come into conflict with other forces.

Also, he also needs to build a force strong enough to maximize his plug-ins.

Only then can we complete the search for special things and contribute to our own Outer God completion plan.

But now he doesn't know what to do specifically.

After all, he had no experience of this kind.

Fortunately, he has many other selves, although without the sharing space, communication has been delayed and the signal is even unstable.

But occasionally I can still receive some information.

For example, it comes from Brother Li Huoying’s experience of many years of war.

To be honest, he was too confident. He was the same guy, but this guy had such a cunning mind that he could play with so many natives at will and even let his men give a hat to the Third Raikage.

Well, that’s getting off topic.

In short, this diary can serve as a guide for him.

For example.

His current essence is to fight a guerrilla war.

Harassing the British Empire from behind.

But the question arises again, what should we do if hundreds of people and a hero cannot do it?

After all, if such a huge empire could be brought down by a few hundred guerrillas, it would have collapsed long ago.

So, that’s all.

Unite with everyone who can be united.

"Jeanne Joan, you can do it."

In the jungle, the girl took a deep breath and controlled her trembling hands.

At this moment, she was hiding in the grass, her face and body were covered with mud. She was like a stone, curled up there quietly.

Not far away was a team from the British Empire.

They are soldiers and bandits.

Burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

The root cause of this is that this piece of land cannot produce tax revenue, thereby indirectly undermining the strategic deployment of the Franki Empire here.

And what she had to do was very simple.

Kill these soldiers and rob them of the food they looted.

She had planned for this day for at least half a month and had been quietly observing the route of the team.

Then she discovered that these people liked to rest in this place, and occasionally they would capture a few female slaves to enjoy here and then kill them.

Like now.

There, there were scenes that were disgusting and extremely cruel.

Jeanne felt her hands trembling.

There is anger.

I feel ashamed.

Outraged at their behavior toward their fellow man.

I feel ashamed that I couldn't save her.

She knew that although she had awakened extraordinary abilities, this ability still had its drawbacks.

She could only wait for an opportunity.
"Pfft."

After everyone has vented their desires.

The soldiers of the British Empire killed the poor woman.

The woman was lying on the ground, staring blankly in the direction of Joan of Arc.

“These beasts.”

“These beasts.”

Joan of Arc gritted her teeth and let her tears flow silently
Finally, Joan of Arc felt that she had stored up enough sunshine.

Yes, that's her ability.

Perhaps she prayed to the sun and it was answered.

She is able to slowly absorb sunlight and store it in her body.

These lights will transform into a golden flame.

However, these flames cannot last overnight. When night falls, the flames will disappear.

So, she could only wait slowly.

but now.

Jeanne stood up slowly.

Hot golden flames burned all over her body.

Soil, water, and all dirty substances turned into dust under the burning flames.

The girl with golden hair was revealed.

A pair of eyes stared coldly at the small team of British soldiers in front of them.
