Faced with the deliberate provocation of the mercenaries, the heroine Jeanne remained unmoved.
These people have never heard of the Tomb Sect, which is actually normal.
The training site of the Tomb Sect is located in a hidden valley in the hinterland of Egypt. It is full of tombs of Egyptian pharaohs from ancient times, hence its name.
The valley is extremely dark and full of ghosts and mist, and it is said that there are even zombie activities. If an ordinary man enters, it may damage the body at least, or kill his life at worst. As time passed, the natives believed that there was a curse from the Pharaoh in the valley and did not dare to go there. For this reason, the Ancient Tomb Sect basically only recruits female disciples.
This martial arts sect has an extremely long history. Many European nations did not necessarily have a parent throughout their entire civilization history.
They were first tomb guards arranged by the Pharaohs. Later, the Persian King Cambyses invaded Egypt. Since then, Egypt has gradually become the territory of outsiders. Even though there were several efforts to restore the country, they failed in the end. The tomb party was very angry about this. To this day, novice disciples are required to spit on the Cambyses mosaic at the door as a symbol.
Due to its long history, the Tomb Sect has a very deep accumulation. Since the days when the Tomb Kings lived, the martial arts of the Pharaoh Guards have been passed down. After that, it absorbed Greek wrestling techniques, Arabic swordsmanship, Frankish marksmanship and other martial arts, which can be called the culmination of European martial arts.
However, with the passage of time, the faith of the Tomb Kings gradually faded with time, and the Tomb Sect was inevitably affected, and was successively affected by the Coptic Church, the Orthodox Church, and the Tianfang Sect. Fortunately, they have more basic beliefs, so they can still maintain it.
The Tomb Sect and France also had connections more than a hundred years ago.
At that time, King Louis IX of France led the Crusaders to attack Egypt. At the critical moment, the Sultan of Egypt died. Pearl Twig, the sultan's concubine and a member of the Tomb Faction, temporarily took charge of state affairs and reorganized the chaotic army to fight against France. In the end, the French army was defeated and surrendered, and Louis IX was captured.
Louis IX was also a warrior with profound skills. He saw that Pearl Sprig was very capable and must have some special skills.
The Capetian kings passed down the method of "entering the sound of heaven into the body", and Louis IX practiced it to an extraordinary level. It is said that as long as he touches a sick person, he can put his strong internal power into the opponent's body and make the disease disappear. get well. Therefore, the French respected him quite a lot and named him "Saint Louis". He still has many admirers today.
The two didn't know each other before fighting, and they established a friendship from then on. When Louis IX paid the ransom, he gave her a lot of money as a tuition fee to select women from France and go to Egypt to receive training from the Tomb Sect.
Later, due to a power struggle, Pearl Branch was killed by some generals and Assassin assassins. But Baibars, one of her generals at the time, later received the support of the Tomb Sect, defeated the Mongols who were rampaging in West Asia, and later became the ruler of Egypt, so the Tomb Sect was also protected.
On the French side, as time went by, Louis IX's vision gradually showed. Whenever France faces a critical moment, some brave and capable women appear to try to save the country. Many people died on the way, but there were still people who appeared out of nowhere and were hailed as "saints" by the people.
After the direct heirs of the Capetian dynasty died out, the Valois dynasty that succeeded them failed to inherit all the secret information, and these women did not recognize the authority of the Valois royal family, resulting in the interruption of contact between the two parties. So they formed their own organization, relying on the funds obtained by the members and the occasional sponsorship from some kind-hearted nobles and priests, they operated secretly everywhere, and continued to send people for training.
After that, France fell into years of war and internal strife, and the incident gradually became unknown. It is not surprising that these ordinary mercenaries who were hired to work did not understand the various entanglements between the Tomb Sect and France.
Facing the mercenaries who rushed up to capture her alive, the heroine Jeanne pulled out an ancient and weird long-handled knife in her right hand, holding a dagger in her left hand, and strode forward to meet them. The mercenary captain had a lewd smile on his face. Before he could react, a knife broke through his armor and cut his throat.
The mercenaries shouted in surprise and wanted to pay the captain. However, the heroine Jeanne was so good at movement that she tossed and turned like a loach in the water, but she couldn't hit her. The Tomb Sect's moves were extremely cunning and vicious. Some of the mercenaries had their hands broken, and some were stabbed in the face, falling down one after another. Seeing this, the remaining people were so frightened that they turned and fled into the forest, scattering in all directions.
At this time, fire appeared at the end of the village. It turned out that the villagers here were in troubled times and were very vigilant. The mercenaries were discovered as soon as they approached the river. The village chief Dalke hurriedly summoned the militia to prepare for defense. But they didn't expect that it would be solved so quickly. By the time the militiamen arrived, the mercenaries had already fled.
The heroine Jeanna reported her identity to the villagers again, saying that she had to find King Wu's daughter in order to live up to her trust. The village chief of Dalke was very vigilant and didn't believe her, so she took out a token and said that as long as she showed it to the Seris people, they would naturally know.
Qitai and others were still in the village at this time. When they saw the token, several grown men who had traveled all the way here burst into tears. The village chief was quite surprised and asked them what was going on. Qi Tai said that this was the seal from King Wu's palace in Yingtian City. He was in a hurry to escape and did not take it with him. Someone sent this, and the meaning was very clear.
He immediately took Zhu Youzhen to find the messenger. The heroine Jeanne said that she actually didn’t know any more information, but she would help and send the child to a safe place.
It may not be easy to hide in France now. Fortunately, France is also a classic European country, and the court's control over local areas has been severely damaged by the war. It is still possible to escape if you want.
They left a lot of belongings and thanked the villagers. Then they took only Xinrou and followed the route Huang Zicheng took at that time, planning to go to Dadu to join the princess, prince and others there.
In order to deceive others, they disguised themselves. Qi Tai and others had documents from the Purple Horde Khanate in their hands, so they forged some documents based on them and claimed to be officials and merchants of the Purple Horde Khanate. As for the little princess, in order to thank the heroine Jeanne and the enthusiastic villagers, she gave her a French name, Jeanne Darc, which also made it easier to deal with inquiries on the road.
Fortunately, with protection, there were no more twists and turns along the way. The group successfully arrived at their destination, the Purple Horde Khanate.
