Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

Orville has a clear understanding of his special ability. To put it bluntly, it is the youth version of the detection technique, which cannot even be released remotely. As a golden finger, it is not strong, or it is not strong for ordinary people.

For the ruler, this ability is simply a blessing from the gods. Combined with Orville's not bad historical knowledge, he can do a good job in various senses. With the various knowledge and concepts from modern times, he can get along well in ancient times.

However, even he can't do it like Jeanne, who can get so much information by looking at it with his eyes. Now Orville probably really believes what the other party said. She may be blessed by the gods.

Some psychologists in later generations claimed that Joan of Arc may have some mental illness, so she stubbornly believed that she was blessed by the gods. The situation in this world is obviously different.

After everyone on the field dispersed, Jeanne did not keep it a secret and explained her general situation to Orville.

Since she grew up, she can hear the voices of angels. Angels sometimes provide her with guidance and teachings. It is also the angels who let her lead the Gauls and Romans to fight against them.

In the initial siege of Orleans, the reason why Jeanne was able to pass through the Roman soldiers' heavy blockade defense network was not because the soldiers were busy slacking off at the time, but because an angel provided her with guidance. Her intuition told her the correct route, so she was safe all the way.

The Battle of Alesia was similar. Jeanne knew in advance that a group of Roman soldiers would pass by Alesia, so she led the soldiers to ambush nearby in advance, catching the Romans off guard and seizing the opportunity. Therefore, the Romans were defeated by the Gauls who had similar numbers but much worse training and equipment.

Jeanne was very serious when she spoke, and she didn't seem to be talking nonsense. Seeing the concrete evidence in front of him, Orville, who was somewhat inclined to atheism, had to believe it, and then he began to think very seriously about the whole story and how to deal with Jeanne Dacre.

Vespa was not wrong. As a native of this world, he knew better than Orville what kind of difficult existence the Chosen One was, so he wanted to kill him at the beginning.

To be honest, after Orville realized that the other party could use the "perspective cheat", he also had the urge to kill for a moment, because this ability was too exaggerated. Assuming that this ability had no restrictions or the restrictions were relatively small, then whichever side led Na to fight would have a decisive advantage.

As long as there was no fundamental difference in the combat power of the two sides, it would be basically impossible for Na to lose, and the confrontation between the two sides would present a crushing situation, because this was equivalent to a unilateral transparent battle. If the other party was allowed to live, this risk would be borne, which was countless times greater than the risk of letting people like Vercingetorix (the leader of the rebels) live.

However, this idea only flashed through his mind and was quickly rejected by Orville himself. Putting aside those emotional thoughts and moral constraints, Orville could not figure out what the so-called "angels" and "revelation" were. In this case, his behavior would tend to be cautious and conservative.

Even if he sent the Joan of Arc of this world to the stake, it does not necessarily mean that the Chosen Ones of the Eternals will disappear from then on. With the first and second, there will be the third and fourth. At most, there will be some restrictions. On the contrary, it means that Orville will be completely hostile to the other party.

Whether it is worthwhile and correct to offend a god or his followers is questionable. Judging from Jeanne's performance, it seems that the Eternals are not completely opposed to or hostile to the Romans or Orville himself, but have some demands and plans for them.

He thought of many complicated questions in his mind, and finally asked Jeanne tentatively: "So, what do the angels think of the Romans?"

"They think your behavior and thoughts need to be corrected, and you are not completely correct or perfect."

Ouville probably knew what it was like after saying this. Jeanne herself may not realize it, but he knows what the world line is like in the future, and can probably guess the other party's intentions.

The current Roman Empire believes in Greek and Roman polytheism, but after a few hundred years, the other party will become a devout believer of Christianity. Now Orville is in a more subtle period of transition.

On the one hand, the Romans still believed in their native gods on a large scale, and on the other hand, the New Testament of the Bible had already begun to be created, and the seeds of monotheistic beliefs had been sown.

To be more specific, the angels might have asked this girl to save the Gauls. To be more conspiratorial, the angels might have been planning ahead, and Jeanne Dacre was one of the "idols" they were going to establish.

Regardless of whether this conjecture was correct or not, Orville himself believed it anyway, but he did not intend to stop or warn the other party, but was ready to take advantage of this matter and make a profit from it.

He was not a professional in thought and religion, but he could clearly recognize that polytheism and monotheism had their own advantages and disadvantages. There must be reasons why the Olympian gods were finally replaced by the Eternals. His knowledge level was not enough to judge who was better and who was worse in a comprehensive way. He could only draw some affirmative conclusions based on the final results of his previous life.

Unreformed Greco-Roman polytheism cannot compete with the systematic monotheistic faith in terms of organization and practicality. If you want to reverse the final outcome of the disappearance of Greco-Roman polytheism, you need to carry out an overall systematic reform of this faith so that it has a similar depth. and practicality.

The difficulty of this matter is too high, and it is not something that someone of Orville's level can do easily. Maybe he spent a long time in the end with great fanfare, but the final result was not as good as before.

So at this stage, his decision is very simple - to see through it without telling it off, and at the same time believe in the wisdom of future generations.

If he reaches a higher position in the future, he should think about higher-level issues. Now he cannot grasp the issue of empire belief, so it is a good thing to remain silent.

So he said to Jeanne: "I understand, but I may not necessarily become a believer in your god. I don't really care about these things, but if the top officials of the empire are found to believe in your god in private, then they will I can't risk being impeached or criticized.

But other than that, I have no control over what you want to believe or not. As long as you pay taxes and abide by the law, you are a resident of the Roman Empire. Imperial laws stipulate that freedom of belief is not infringed, and I will strictly control it. Execution of this. "
