After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

"Since she's not stupid, her current performance is very problematic. I guess she must have some hole cards in her hand. If she doesn't figure it out, I'm worried that we will suffer losses in the next battle."

"Coleman, you send someone to the forward battalion and tell them to try to capture as many prisoners as possible. I want to know what kind of tricks that little girl has."

"Obey!" Facing the Duke's order, the adjutant obediently carried out the order even though he felt it was unnecessary in his heart.

On the other side, after glancing at the adjutant who was leaving quickly, Duke Girton turned his attention to the river again.

At this time, it was just when autumn was starting to rise, and the wind on the river was very strong, and the howling autumn wind rolled up waves in the river one after another.Gorton just quietly stared at the sparkling river. For some reason, he, who was clearly wearing the enchanted armor and was not afraid of the cold and heat, always felt the coolness coming from behind him, but he couldn't find the source of the coolness.

I don't know how long it took before Duke Girton was awakened from his contemplation by a hoarse and low-pitched cry. When the Duke raised his head in a daze, he found a group of black birds circling leisurely In the sky above him, irritating strange screams kept coming out of his mouth.

When the Duke subconsciously ordered the soldiers to drive them away, those black birds seemed to know what was going to happen, and quickly disappeared into the sky, but the strange chirping sound was always lingering in people's ears, for a long time refused to disperse......

Chapter 200 196. Swear before the battle, never die!

A few hours later, the scorching sun set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened. The air current that was constantly flowing over the ground became louder and louder, and there was a faint chill in the wind.

At this moment, in the camp located about one kilometer away from the small town of Victorville, Katerina, who had completed pre-war preparations, was riding a horse in military uniform, silently staring at the road in the sky in front of the army formation. The "long line" that is rapidly thickening is the imperial cavalry that is approaching rapidly.

After several hours, the Imperial Army finally crossed the river, and the prestigious Elite Knights of the Empire were about to appear in front of Katerina.

"Boom~~"

As the time passed by every minute and every second, there was a clear tremor on the ground. In several puddles that had not yet dried up, ripples were constantly shaking. It shattered into countless petals, and after a while, the plants on the ground also began to sway greatly. In the sky, dark clouds suddenly blocked the sun, as if the whole world was terrified by the arrival of the imperial cavalry.

Facing the power of the Imperial Army, the Allied Forces, from noble officers to ordinary soldiers, all looked pale and wary in their faces. In their eyes, Clearly revealing the color of panic, it seems that there is a possibility of mental breakdown at any time.

Before the two sides officially started fighting, the coalition army had already lost its fighting spirit. If it weren't for the fortifications built by Katerina in advance, which gave everyone present a sense of security, there is a high probability that deserters have already begun to appear.

"Raise my battle flag up!"

At this darkest moment, when everyone was terrified by the aura of the imperial cavalry and couldn't help themselves, suddenly, there was a clear and clear clanging sound, like thunder on the ground, resounding on the coalition army's position.

After hearing the sound, people subconsciously looked at the source of the sound, and then they were stunned to find that Katerina, the commander of the coalition army, appeared at the forefront of the position at some point, and looked directly at everyone face to face.

And just when people were surprised by Katerina's actions, the girl standing in front of the battle took a battle flag embroidered with a huge anchor pattern from the hand of the attendant, and then threw it heavily into the soil.

The next moment, a shout full of determination resounded in everyone's ears like thunder...

"Everyone!"

"Did you hear that? The sky is trembling, the earth is howling, everything is crying!"

"In the distance, the terrible black tide is hitting us. There is no need to doubt that the black tide is the imperial cavalry that is about to arrive!"

"Next, what we will face is an extremely cruel battle. The imperial army has a terrible reputation. There are countless dead souls under the blade, and the rotting bones can even be piled up into a tower!"

"I know that in the face of such a terrifying enemy, you must be terrified in your hearts, and wish to turn around and flee the battlefield immediately."

"There is no need to deny it, and there is no need to be ashamed, because your emotions are completely understandable. I am also afraid, and I am also afraid in my heart. In fact, I want to escape from this battlefield more than you."

"but--!"

At this point, Katerina suddenly pulled out the long sword at her waist, and pointed the blade at the sky in front of everyone. At the same time, the girl's originally high-pitched voice became more intense.

"Everyone, please look at me, look at me carefully!"

"My name is Katerina Aldan, the commander of the coalition, the king of Burros, and the successor of the Azure Will. This war has nothing to do with me. I am more qualified than all of you to escape from the battlefield, and I don't have to bear the burden afterwards." Any responsibility!"

"But even so, I didn't run away, I chose to stand with you, I chose to face the most terrifying and brutal enemy in this world with you!"

"Since I didn't run away, what reason do you have to run away?!"

"Everyone should be very clear that the people of the empire have always been murderous, and they have always been cruel to the enemy, and they will bleed like rivers at every turn. But behind you at this moment is your rich and beautiful homeland, where your kind and kind people live. Family, if you flee here and let the imperial army run amok, everything you hold dear will be destroyed by the empire!"

"Eventually, Imperial soldiers will trample on the bones of you and your families in the ruins of your homeland, telling others with the most contemptuous derision, 'Look, there used to be a bunch of spineless cowards here, and they Slaughtered like cattle without even fighting!'."

"Is this the ending you want to see?"

"answer me--!"

As Katerina's voice fell, the audience fell into dead silence, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the girl. At this moment, among the countless eyes intertwined at the same point, there was a surge of people's own desire to Indescribable emotion.

In the beginning, when they saw the imperial cavalry was about to attack, many people present were filled with panic, and countless negative emotions flooded everyone's hearts like a tide, making them unable to arouse any fighting spirit.

But now, Katerina's voice is like the first light of dawn, piercing the darkness in people's hearts in an instant, and when everyone finally broke free from negative emotions and calmed down, people immediately remembered what the girl said just now, Immediately, it was as if invisible wooden thorns were pierced in the heart fiercely, and strands of angry flames quickly burned in people's hearts.

"Let the Empire II dog eat shit!"

Finally, at the next moment, I don't know who was the first to vent the anger in his heart. The entire coalition army's battle formation was like a ignited gunpowder pile, and it "exploded" all of a sudden!

Shouting, cursing, roaring, countless voices full of anger rang together, and finally gathered into terrifying waves of sound, and when the waves of sound swept away wave after wave, one after another, the former imperial army The power and influence deliberately created disappeared without a trace in people's hearts in an instant.

Seeing that the morale was available, Katerina's eyes flashed a blue color. After that, the girl suddenly pointed her sword at the sky, and immediately saw a ring-shaped light bursting in midair.

The sudden burst of light in mid-air distracted everyone's attention, and the frantic atmosphere on the field immediately eased, and just after the crowd calmed down a little, a familiar high-pitched voice sounded again,

"Everyone, it seems that everyone has understood the meaning of this battle."

"This battle is not fought for the king of any family, nor for empty glory, but for the homeland behind us, for the land under our feet, and for those relatives who love and trust us deeply!"

"For these things that are more precious than life, we must nail here as firmly as a mountain, fight the empire to the death, and never tolerate those despicable invaders moving forward!"

"As your commander-in-chief, in this battle, I will fight the enemy together with you."

At this point, Katerina paused suddenly, and then, under the gradually burning eyes of everyone, the girl boldly pointed to the battle flag planted behind her, and said loudly again,

"Everyone, have you seen this flag behind me? It is a symbol of the kingship of Burros. Where the flag is, the king will be!"

"In the name of Queen Boulros, I promise...... In this battle, my position will never retreat half a step from this flag!"

"I will not retreat, and please do not retreat either!"

"Now, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, I convey an order to you all. After the battle begins, the entire army below me must not take a step back!"

"All the supervisory teams obey the order. After the battle begins, all those who are not brave enough to fight, those who are afraid of the enemy and those who flee privately, no matter what their status is, do not need to report, they can be killed!"

"Commanders at all levels are ordered, now please put your family flags behind your back, and use this as a boundary. As long as I haven't retreated, you must not take a step back. In addition, pay attention to the troops under your command, and retreat one by one. Commander of the Banner Slaying Commander, Commander of the Squadron of Ten People Retreating and Slashing, and Commander of the Squadron of Hundreds of Retreating and Slashing!"

"Finally, the whole army obeys orders!"

"Everyone, please keep an eye on my back. If you find that I have violated my promise, everyone can kill them. I forgive you all innocent!"

"This battle is endless——!"

At this moment, following Katerina's voice, the field became dead silent again, and everyone looked at the girl standing in front of the formation in a daze, as if they were stupid.

You must know that in this world where bloodline theory is paramount, nobles have great privileges, and such privileges will not disappear even on the battlefield. It is not uncommon for the nobles to fight to the end, but it is extremely rare, and every time Most of them are in some extreme situation that cannot be retreated.

But now, the supreme leader of a country, on an unimportant battlefield, swore an oath of immortality to a group of completely unexpected motley troops. This is a strange thing that has never happened before in the history of the world. People Faced with such a strange thing, the brain couldn't react for a while, so it could only stand stupidly.

However, the psychological endurance of human beings cannot be underestimated after all. It didn’t take long for everyone present to recover from their stupefaction. Immediately afterwards, when people understood what the girl’s oath meant, the whole army Up and down is like a pot of water that has been boiled violently, boiling up all of a sudden!

At this moment, facing Katerina's oath, everyone on the field reacted in various ways, but they can be roughly divided into three types: panic, doubt and excitement.

Among them, those who reacted most negatively had pale faces, warped eyes, and strong fear in their eyes. This kind of people generally existed among those nobles with noble status but weak fighting spirit.

No way, Katerina's oath just now undoubtedly completely blocked the escape route of these people.In the United Army, the status of the girl is very special. If the girl really fulfilled her oath and they chose to flee, no matter whether the supervising team will execute the killing order or not, the future of these people will be completely ruined.

The highest authority in any country, after knowing what happened here, will never choose to accept these cowards again, and even the empire may not be willing to accept their surrender.Therefore, the only choice for these people now is to follow Katerina and fight to the death.

Then there are doubters. Unlike the first type of people, they are all veterans. Their years of battlefield career have made them accustomed to the hypocrisy of nobles. I believe that girls will really keep their promises.

In addition to these two, the last is the believers in Katerina's promise. They occupy the largest proportion of the crowd, and also cover all levels of the army, from ordinary soldiers to the noble class, and these people all have a common Features ---- young.

Among human beings, young people are a very strange existence. They act impetuously and lack foresight. They will quickly fall into depression because of difficulties and failures, and they will also move forward courageously again because of temporary anger.

They were the ones who had no hope for victory before, and they are also the ones who are full of desire to fight now.And the most interesting thing is that while young people are "moody", they are also extremely contagious, especially in groups where young people make up the largest proportion. When young people start to become fanatical, the fighting spirit of others will also be followed ignite.

So, when the Imperial Knights finally arrived at the combat area, what they saw was such a strange scene......

The coalition army, which is obviously in a weak position, is now putting on a bold posture for fighting. Most of the soldiers of the coalition army look impassioned, as if they can't wait to fight right now. At the same time, the generals of the coalition army It also seems to have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's courage, and showed a contemptuous attitude towards the empire, as if the empire was the loser in the past wars.

Faced with such a completely unreasonable situation, the high level of the imperial army was stunned, and the vigilance in their hearts began to rise rapidly.

"...Your Excellency, what shall we do now?"

After gazing in the direction of the United Army again, Coleman, the deputy head of the Girton Knights, looked at his superior and asked with a frown,

"The arrangement of the coalition army seems to be a bit tricky, should I send someone to test it out?"

On the other side, facing Coleman's question, Duke Girton, who had been staring at the coalition's position, did not directly respond to his deputy's question after being silent for a long time. Instead, he spoke in a tone that revealed deep emotion, Said to himself,

"That little girl is not simple. I thought I was going to hunt a fox, but I didn't expect that she was actually a lion. This is a bit difficult."

"Your Excellency, what you said is not too exaggerated......"

Facing Duke Girton's emotion, Coleman glanced back at the position of the coalition army, and then retorted disapprovingly,

"I admit that the girl is indeed capable, but she is not worthy of the identity of a lion."

"Hehe~" Duke Girton, who came back to his senses after hearing Coleman's rebuttal, looked at the unconvinced deputy in front of him, and said with a broken smile,

"Don't let emotions control your mind, Coleman~"

"Although the letter His Highness sent before really made me quite humiliated, but now, I kind of agree with His Highness."

"Look carefully, the coalition army on the opposite side has listed ten three-tier formations, each of which is a full-stacked centurion, and according to the information we got before, her troops happen to be only 3000 people, I miss you You should know what that means, right?"

"Being able to organize the army quickly when the Imperial Knights came, and let no one under his command flee, this ability alone is much better than most of the mediocre people we have encountered before."

"Looking at the defensive positions she has set up, those barriers piled up with carriages and waste seem to be able to be completely destroyed with a single charge, but I just noticed a strange phenomenon. There seems to be a small team stranded in the room, they are in groups of three, all hiding in the potholes, obviously there is something waiting for us."

"Such a powerful imperial control method and such a delicate mind are not something ordinary people can have, so that little girl still deserves the evaluation of 'lion'."

After all, looking at Coleman whose eyes quickly became vigilant, Duke Girton didn't say anything more, but only glanced at the direction of the coalition forces again, and gave orders to his deputy in a low voice,

"Coleman, immediately send someone to the rear, let the soldiers of the Principality of Buzeredo speed up their march, and tell their commander, I will only give him an hour, if after an hour, I can't see him and his troops , then I can only let his 'head' roll over by itself."

"Also, help me go to the front of the battle and tell that little girl that I want to have a chat with her."

Facing Duke Girton's order, Coleman planned to execute it immediately, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, the deputy of the Knights immediately objected,

"Your Excellency, are you going to meet that girl?"

"I object, it's too risky to do so, no matter what, she is a descendant of the Azure Sage, just in case......"

At this moment, looking at Coleman who was hesitant to speak, Duke Girton frowned slightly, and soon understood the reason. After that, he couldn't help but cursed at his deputy,

"Why, do you think I can't beat her?"

Coleman didn't respond to Duke Girton's teasing, but the worry on his face had already given a positive result to the question.
