This article will provide you with relevant help.
The General’s Story of Louis IX
In the year 1242, before the walls of Taillebourg, King Louis IX of France, the renowned monarch of the Capetian dynasty, led thousands of French knights in a direct assault against the invading English army, outnumbering them by over twenty thousand.
Despite the English having the advantage of terrain, the valiant charge led by Louis IX greatly inspired his knights. Wielding his sword in the thick of battle, he fought with unparalleled bravery, undeterred even by injury. His example spurred the French knights, who fought with tenfold vigor, launching fierce, fearless attacks that sent the vanguard of the English army into a panicked retreat.
Louis IX’s heroic deeds struck such fear into the heart of the English King that he fled the battlefield, with his army crumbling in disarray. The French forces pursued relentlessly, ultimately securing a resounding victory over the English.
Louis IX was not only a fearless warrior but also a visionary reformer. His substantial contributions in the fields of justice, economy, and architecture earned him the title “Saint Louis” in later years.

Louis IX’s skill description seems to imply that he is more suitable as an assistant general. Based on the attribute values of the full-level special skill and specialty, we believe that the strongest combination is: Main General Mihai + Assistant General Louis IX.
However, due to the use of skill books, the strongest combination of archer generals may be the Main General Mihai + Assistant General Eleanor.

How to Use Skill Book
If you choose Louis IX as the assistant general, “Ranged Troop Attack” and “Ranged Troop Defense” skill books used by any main general will not take effect. But Louis IX himself can use the “Ranged Troop Defense” skill book.
