Chapter 79: You want to see a miracle? I'll give you a miracle!

~6 min read 1,001 words

Year 2, January 15th: In the morning, you follow the church personnel sent by Charles to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. You are surrounded by high-ranking officials of the country and the heads of the church, but you do not feel fear.

At this moment, the priest sitting in the main seat of the church suddenly looks at you and asks,

"What is the image of the divine messenger you saw? Is it a man or a woman?"

Jeanne: "The image is not important. God has no gender; the so-called image is determined by the human heart."

"What did He give you? A cross? A rosary? Or a book?"

Jeanne: "God guides me to save the world, so what He gave me is naturally the holy sword that can help me guide the world."

Jeanne points to the Sword of Saint Catherine at her waist. The priest in charge of supervision beside her immediately wants to seize this holy sword, but the moment their hands touch the holy sword, a bright light directly repels them.

"This... sorry, we should not offend your majesty."

The priest immediately bows to the holy sword. The Sword of Saint Catherine was already a legendary holy relic, and now that it is filled with "divinity," they naturally treat it with respect.

No one questions Jeanne's identity as a Saint anymore, but everyone doubts whether Jeanne can lead them to victory.

Priest: "Have you had any experience leading troops since you were a child?"

Jeanne: "No, I only herded sheep."

Priest: "Then have you practiced swordsmanship since you were a child?"

Jeanne: "No, I only wielded a whip."

Hearing this, everyone laughs.

"You haven't learned swordsmanship, so how can you charge on the battlefield? You have no experience leading troops, and you don't even know how to use a cannon, so how can you blast open the sturdy gates of Orléans?" The priest does not hide his distrust of Jeanne. This is also the most normal thing. Who would believe that an ordinary village girl could suddenly lead troops to fight one day?

Unless...

"Unless you can show us some... miracles."

"What showing miracles? Are they treating us like magicians?" Lin Ye understands what these people mean. They don't believe Jeanne can lead them to victory unless a miracle happens.

"You want to see a miracle, right? Fine, I'll show you what a miracle is!"

Suddenly, in front of everyone, the Sword of Saint Catherine suddenly emits a bright light, and immediately after, a thunderbolt explodes in the sky!

The next second, everyone feels the entire church shaking violently!

Rumble!

The roof of the church collapses directly, and tiles smash the heads of those who were questioning her until they bleed! At this moment, these people are all hiding under the tables, and the priest who was shouting the loudest is still shouting,

"Lord Holy Sword! Please withdraw your divine art!"

"That's right, we believe! We believe!"

"Long live Saint Joan of Arc!"

At this moment, everyone is cheering for you. You control the holy sword to return to its scabbard, and at this time, Jeanne walks step by step to the center of the church.

"That's right, I haven't led troops, I haven't wielded a sword, and I don't even know many big words. But I know that when our people are bleeding, you are sitting here wearing fine clothes!"

At this moment, Jeanne is passionate; her slender body seems to contain powerful strength!

"You don't believe in the Lord's guidance to me; you suspect I am deceiving you. But is it me who is deceiving you, or are you deceiving yourselves here!"

"You want to see a miracle, but a miracle is not something you can see just by sitting here. Even if God puts food in front of you, you at least have to reach out to pick it up and put it in your mouth. Only then will you say, 'God has finally sent a miracle,' instead of just sitting here, waiting for God to put the food into your mouth bit by bit to feed you!"

Jeanne understands. She understands that the people of this country have had their spines broken. If she doesn't wake them up, they will only become cowards who raise white flags when they meet the enemy. So, she must stand up!

"Give me an army, take me to Orléans, and I will let you see a miracle!"

"Well said!" Gilles, watching this scene, is excited again. This girl has brought him miracles time and time again, and she has made him look at her with admiration time and time again. Compared to her, all the women in the kingdom seem to pale in comparison!

"I want to join her! I want to roar under her battle flag! I want to fight for her!"

That's right, fight for her!

Year 2, February 12th: The Herring War breaks out. You follow Jeanne to march toward the front line! Along the way, all people with lofty ideals spontaneously gather under Jeanne's banner!

You look at her infatuatedly.

Year 2, April 29th: You arrive at Orléans. Jeanne leads you to charge toward the front line. She wields the battle flag, and under her banner, all the soldiers seem to be fearless of death. And the enemy's attacks on her have no effect; the sword in her hand always protects her!

You look at her infatuatedly.

Year 2, May 7th: The British army is repelled by you repeatedly and finally shrinks into the Tourelles fortress. You cannot attack it for a long time, but at night, Jeanne holds the holy sword and flies into the fortress! The sound of killing in the fortress lasts all night. The next day, the impregnable fortress is pushed open by Jeanne from behind the gate!

You look at her infatuatedly.

Year 2, June 12th: Great victory at the Battle of Jargeau!

Year 2, June 15th: Great victory at Meung-sur-Loire!

Year 2, June 17th: Great victory at Beaugency!
