The siege of Damascus was completely over two days later. The city defenders who were stubbornly resisted Joan of Arc's proposal to surrender and continued to defend. After weighing the pros and cons, Joan of Arc felt that it was not a wise move to attack a military camp with complete defense and being forced into a desperate situation. Fortunately, at this time, there was no decent resistance in other places in Damascus. So Joan of Arc could have more time to concoct these pagans.

As a result, these Arab soldiers who were almost defending were burned into coke by a large number of heavenly flames thrown by the twenty-eight torsional stone casters concentrated by Joan of Arc. The fire lasted for a day and a night. Later, it was almost difficult to control. Fortunately, Joan of Arc demolished all the wooden buildings around the barracks in advance. Therefore, the fire did not spread. In the end, most of these nearly nine thousand soldiers were burned into coke alive. Or they broke out and shot into hedgehogs by the heavily-awaited Norman soldiers. In the end, less than two hundred Arab soldiers survived in this battle - of course, they actually lived for a short period of time than the others.

After the flames began to extinguish, and the outside of the barracks was filled with corpses and no one ran out screaming, Joan of Arc issued a new order to start putting out the fire and extinguish the flames to ensure that no accidents occurred.

The fire stopped the next day, March 11th. The Norman army, who entered the remains of the military camp, counted and hid the remaining ones in the well or other blind spots. Therefore, the Arab soldiers who were able to save their lives were found. After this incident, the defeated generals had no will to resist. They allowed the Norman soldiers to come over with a grin, and then cut off their heads.

Eventually, after the last Arab soldier was killed, the Norman soldiers began to cheer loudly.

"A great victory!" The soldiers shouted, celebrating the victory. The newly recruited guard knights of Egil congratulated their marshals. Now, these knights were convinced by their new coach. The battle was remarkable from the beginning to the end. The knights all felt remarkable. If someone else was to command, they would only reach this level at most.

Immediately afterwards, the Crusaders stayed in Damascus for two days to celebrate - although Muslim doctrine prohibits drinking, in fact, alcohol-containing alternative drinks with a name change are still everywhere. And international cities like Damascus naturally set up taverns dedicated to foreign business. As a result, these "drinks" and wine were all collected by the Crusaders. The soldiers celebrated unrestrainedly, poured money-free wine and ate the food offered by the Arab chefs. They were all very happy. The morale also increased a lot. The entire Damascus was immersed in a strange joy.

In addition to Joan of Arc, the commander of the Norman, who captured Damascus and was destined to be famous in history, smiled very reluctantly when accepting the congratulations from the knights under her command. And when she was watching the evil behavior of the crusaders, she felt extremely bad. She seemed to realize that the crusaders were not an irrefutable army of justice as she imagined. They killed heresy in the name of Catholicism and purified evil. It sounded good, but in fact they were behaving no different from robbers.

"Is this the battlefield I want?! No - what I want is clearly - clearly..." In the past few days, Joan of Arc, who was weak, tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night. Even the most comfortable cushion in the Saladin Palace could not bring her a good night of sleep. After she could barely fall asleep, she would inevitably be awakened by a nightmare. The flame, the fire burning in the Damascus military camp area, overlapped with the flame that had almost killed her in the dream. It kept scorching her body and even her spirit.

"What I did...is it different from those who wanted to tie me to the stake and burn to death?" Thinking of this question, Joan of Arc became increasingly haggard...

However, although he was in a bad mood and was not in good spirits, Joan of Arc still carried out the tasks assigned by Egil. After taking Damascus into his pocket, Joan of Arc announced to the public that he became the female lord of Damascus, the emperor of the Holy Norman Empire, and the vassal of Tsar Egil Skadragrimsun of the Ross Tsar. The fief was in northern Syria, including Damascus and Aleppo.

As the Greeks were worried, Egil did not want to obey the treaty with them honestly. Instead, he took advantage of the loopholes - although the treaty concluded between the two sides stipulated that Egil could not have any direct territory in the holy land. He only allowed to enfeoff vassals. However, the treaty also did not stipulate the restrictions on enfeoffment of vassals, did not stipulate who was qualified, nor did he specify how big the vassals' fiefs could be...

Originally, Basil judged others by himself. He thought that even if Egil was a fraud or a calculating, he would just enfeoff more vassals and chose those who had a good relationship with him. However, Basil felt that in front of interests, friendship, loyalty and other things were just jokes. Norman vassals were so far apart from Norman's native mountains and rivers. Or maybe Egil's generation could not have problems. But what happened later? This is not Scandinavia with strong Norman dominance. It was not even Eastern Europe.

This is the territory of pagans. Syria is constantly war-torn. It is difficult for Christians to stand firm here, just like Jerusalem. Once the foreign aid on the continent is cut off, it will be finished immediately. When the lords here encounter problems, can the distant Norman Empire provide enough support? When the support of the Norman Empire is cut off and the connection between the previous generations and the sect leader becomes far away, will they still willingly obey the orders of the Norman Emperor?

——Baron! All are fantasies! Egil never thought of giving up Syria's land from the beginning. It was said that Joan of Arc was enfeoffed as the lord. But in fact, a weak woman like Joan of Arc lived in a harsh place like Syria for a long time. Whether she could live was a question. And Joan of Arc did not have a trace of strength in his hands. The army belonged to Norman, and the officials sent to govern the local area in the future were also Norman. Apart from a name, this was completely different from Egil's direct territory.

In this way, Damascus, the largest city in the Arab world, fell into the hands of the Crusaders - to be precise, the Norman Empire and Emperor Egil. In the next few days, Joan of Arc reorganized his army and began to restore urban order. If robbery and arson were prohibited, he would have to pay. At the same time, a strict military management system was implemented in Damascus, a food and drinking water rationing system was implemented, and citizens were prohibited from going out. At the same time, a total of 5,000 Norman soldiers were left behind - two regular Norman infantry teams of 1,000 teams, and about 3,000 Eastern European recruitment troops were recruited.

After completing these tasks, Joan of Arc's army set off again and headed towards Aleppo, another important city in northern Syria. At the same time, a large number of Slavic, Ross cavalry, and a small number of Norman Hussars in Eastern Europe followed her orders and began to sweep the towns around Damascus. Although Joan of Arc felt a little compassion, the believers of God under her command had no mercy. A large number of temporary crosses were hung with Muslims who dared to resist. Such a picture became a unique scenery in 1006 AD.

Egil received the news on March 15th. At that time, the Norman Emperor could not believe it. He repeatedly asked Nemulis, his two spy leaders, and Sonia: "Is this true? My saint completely occupied the entire Damascus in just three days?" After receiving repeated affirmative answers, Egil slapped the table.

"Transferred to the throne of Joan of Arc as the Grand Duke of Damascus. He governed the entire Northern Syria!"

In this way, while gaining enough benefits for himself, Egil also once again obtained very good treatment for his woman. The rank of an imperial marshal and the title of a grand duke. Such an identity is second only to Queen Artoria and Princess Aurora. With such a dual identity, Joan of Arc could succeed. There is no problem staying next to Egil with justification. Even if Queen Artoria is more concerned about her, she should be more concerned than Queen Artoria.

"Would you like to spread this matter? Then, Marshal Joan of Arc was asked to send some spoils as evidence. I believe it could further disintegrate Jerusalem's will to resist." Nemulis asked immediately. Although Egil had already said that he wanted to be named Joan of Arc as the Grand Duke, the spy leader did not seem to take this blank check seriously. He still called her the marshal.

Jill nodded: "This matter is left to you! Be sure to let the defenders of Jerusalem know their embarrassment now!" Egil waved his hand and ordered like this. At the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart. In terms of ability, Sonia is indeed much worse than Nemulis...

"Yes, Lord!" The two spy leaders, Nemulis and Sonia, wanted to go out after getting the order, but were stopped by Egil.

"Is there any news about Alexander during this period?" Egil asked.

"The subordinate ordered the spies to collect it with all their might. But..." Nemulis hesitated for a moment and then replied. Sonia also frowned and shook her head to express her denial.
