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

Chapter 203 199. Night Raid and Changing Houses

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and the land was completely dark. However, in the imperial camp near the river, Duke Girton sat in his tent, using the faint light of the fire, and kept using a quill pen to write Writing and drawing on a parchment scroll.

At this moment, the legendary duke was studying the formation of the coalition army he had observed during the day. He kept turning over the parchment full of various symbols, as if he wanted to find a way to break the situation. When he was studying vigorously, the curtain of the camp tent was suddenly pulled open, and then, a voice rushed in accompanied by the cold night wind...

"Your Excellency, the scouts sent to harass the enemy camp have returned. They seem to have found some very interesting information. Come and listen!"

Hearing the voice in his ears, Duke Girton immediately raised his head. After blinking his eyes and looking at the deputy with a face full of excitement, his eyes fell on a knight beside him.

After a moment of silence, Duke Girton put down the quill in his hand, and asked the knight in a deep voice,

"Why did you come back so early, what happened over there?"

Facing Duke Girton's question, the knight who was named first saluted while holding his sword hilt, and then replied in a calm tone,

"Reporting to Your Excellency, not long ago, when our team was harassing the coalition army, we suddenly made a major discovery."

"Originally, according to your order, we planned to harass the enemy all night. In the beginning, the enemy was indeed greatly affected. Almost every time we harassed, their camp would make a big commotion."

"However, during the fourth harassment, the enemy seemed to think that we were afraid to attack, and began to become immobile. No matter how we intensified the harassment, they did not respond."

"In the end, we even sent some people to attack as a large force and launched a short-distance attack, but the enemy remained indifferent. After discovering the situation, we immediately came back to report."

Facing the news brought back by the knight, Duke Girton narrowed his eyes instinctively. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked,

"...... They really didn't move at all?"

"Have you ever tried to attack with fire?"

"I've tried it!" The knight standing opposite affirmed Duke Girton's question without hesitation.

"After the last harassment, we shot at their camp with rockets, but unless the rockets ignite important places, they still won't respond, as if we are sure that we dare not do anything."

After listening to the knight's report, Duke Girton seemed to have encountered something troublesome. He stood up suddenly, frowned, and walked back and forth in the tent with his head down.This scene lasted for a long time, and finally, the voice of Duke Girton sounded again in the camp. At this moment, it seemed that he had made some determination, and his voice revealed strong firmness,

"Coleman, order the troops to assemble immediately, 20 minutes at the latest, I want to see everyone appear in front of me!"

"Also, order the logistics troops to tie the hooves of the war horses with silent cloths. Let's go to the coalition army now to see what's going on there!"

Following the order of Duke Girton, the entire imperial barracks was quickly mobilized, and the imperial knights assembled at an extremely fast speed, and then, led by the Duke, they galloped all the way to the barracks of the coalition army.

About an hour later, the Duke of Girton led the Imperial Knights, under the cover of night, like a nocturnal wolf, quietly arrived at the gate of the joint army camp, and in the distance the darkened After observing the enveloping camp carefully for a while, Duke Girton suddenly ordered his followers to prepare a bunch of rockets for him.

A moment later, dozens of arrows with flaming arrows were put on the strong bow, and then, along with Duke Girton and the knights around him who were also drawing bows and arrows, they slightly loosened the palms that were holding the bowstring tightly. Suddenly, dozens of rockets, like a meteor shower, traced gorgeous trajectories in the dark night sky, and finally landed heavily in the camp of the coalition army.

"It's on fire, put out the fire!"

"Keep your voice down, everyone is sleeping, don't wake up others, this is all a conspiracy of the imperial people."

When all the rockets fell into the camp of the coalition army, there was a burst of chaos in the camp. In the place where clusters of fire were shining, many figures could be seen shaking, and someone could clearly hear shouting loudly, but nothing happened. After a while, the chaos in the camp was quickly subsided, and the camp was once again wrapped in darkness and silence, with no movement to be seen.

Seeing this scene, Duke Girton suddenly fell silent. The night was like a veil, covering his face lightly. No one could see the Duke's current expression. It was not until a while later that the Duke seemed to have some calculations in his heart. , he suddenly ordered in a deep voice to the deputy beside him,

"Coleman, immediately organize three centurions to launch a feint attack on the enemy's camp."

"According to the actual situation, you can control the degree of attack by yourself. I will not interfere with the specific combat deployment. However, one thing needs to be emphasized. The purpose of this attack is to test the enemy's details. If you find that the situation is wrong, you should retreat immediately. You must not love to fight."

"Understood, I will pay attention!"

After listening to Duke Girton's orders and requests, Coleman nodded with a serious expression, then quickly ordered his soldiers and horses, and after organizing the attack mode, he galloped all the way to the camp of the coalition army.

At the same time, Duke Girton, who was at the rear of the raiding team and was staring at the camp in the distance, grabbed the reins of his horse and took a few steps forward subconsciously. Around him, more cavalry had already assembled. Once the previous situation is wrong, he will immediately command the troops to deal with it.

For the upcoming contact, Duke Girton had already prepared the worst plan in his heart, but the actual situation was far beyond his expectation......

The raid team led by Coleman moved very smoothly, and did not encounter any decent resistance during the entire raid process. Originally, he just wanted to conduct some testing, and finally led the team all the way into the camp.

Victory in the first battle against a strong enemy should have been something to be happy about. However, after searching the camp of the coalition army, the soldiers found all kinds of clues, which made Coleman feel very heavy all of a sudden. .

"The situation is not good!"

A moment later, the first time he saw Duke Gorton coming to join him, Coleman pointed to the weaving straw figures on the ground that were dressed in United Army uniforms, and said eagerly,

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid we were fooled. The main force of the coalition army is not in the camp at all!"

"After I entered the camp, I found that there were only a small number of soldiers in the entire camp, and they dispersed after a dozen. As for the other figures we saw just now, they were all pretended by these things!"

"what should I do now?"

After listening to Coleman's report, Duke Girton's face instantly became gloomy and terrifying. Driven by the sense of uncertainty in his heart, he forced his brain to work rapidly, frantically thinking about the possible actions of the coalition army. When he came up with one, two, three, he suddenly heard someone shouting in horror,

"Everyone, look over there, the sky... the sky is burning!"

The first time he heard the sound of panic, Duke Girton quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and the moment his sight became clear, the eyes of the legendary Duke suddenly widened, The eye sockets were covered with bloodshot eyes, and the evil spirit all over his body surged crazily. The whole person looked like a demon crawling out of the abyss!

Turning the gaze to the direction that Duke Girton was staring at, at this moment, in the distance that should have been covered by darkness, monstrous flames shot straight into the sky, the dark night was burned by the raging fire, and the sky looked like day under the light of the fire!

That direction... is the camp of the empire.

.................................................. ...

"Your Majesty has an order to burn all the supplies that cannot be taken away, and never leave a grain of wheat to the bastards of the Empire II!"

"Quickly, take all the prisoners to the execution platform, cut off the thumbs of their feet, and let no one fall!"

"Set fire more, set fire more, don't just think about grabbing things, when you defeat the imperial army, you will get as many rewards as you want!"

At the same time, at the place where the fire was rising, countless soldiers of the United Army stepped on the flickering flames and ran back and forth in the imperial barracks. Some were in charge of setting fire to the camp, some were in charge of capturing materials, and some were in charge of guarding the prisoners of the imperial army. , everyone is a happy look.

Facing the soldiers who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, the noble officers generally did not intend to control them, and even they themselves were also fanatical. It wasn't because the military discipline of the coalition army was corrupt, but the victory at this moment was really too exciting.

Since the war between the allied countries and the empire, there has always been more defeats than victories. Many times, even if they win, there is a high probability of a disastrous victory. More often than not, they are suppressed by the imperial army. Such a proud moment.

Not to mention, the coalition army on the offensive side in this battle had negligible casualties, but the damage caused was astonishing. No matter from any angle, this night attack was a victory that could only be celebrated , so it is not surprising that the officers and soldiers of the United Army behaved like this.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this battle has been completely won, and His Majesty's reputation must be engraved in the epic!"

On the other side, located at the command post of the coalition army, Katerina, who is the supreme commander of this battle and also the greatest hero in this battle, is being surrounded by the generals of the coalition army and vying for her. , Don't put money on the girl's head like money.

Seeing the exaggeration of the people's flattery, as the object of flattery, Katerina was not dazzled by the victory in front of her. Instead, she used force to calm down the generals of the coalition army. Afterwards, the girl Dragging all the generals together, a series of new instructions were formulated.

This unreasonable approach will naturally make some people feel dissatisfied, but it does not make any sense. At this moment, Katerina has already shaped her authority within the coalition army through victory, although she has not yet reached the level of her words. level, but ordinary people are no longer qualified to question the girl's will.

Therefore, although some people have grievances in their hearts, they can only implement the new combat orders honestly.

Finally, after everyone returned to their posts, Katerina let out a long sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one around, and then collapsed on the seat.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Katerina's image has become a top general who can rival the famous generals of the empire in terms of resourcefulness. However, the girl herself is still very self-aware about this.

Katerina knew very well that the reason why this night attack was able to successfully deceive the Duke of the Empire and achieve the purpose of a tactical home exchange was not because of how sophisticated her strategy was, but because the other party lacked understanding and awareness of the power of industrialization , Still using the "common sense" of the past to judge the battle in front of him.

The most obvious point, why the Duke of Girton was defenseless against Katerina's house-changing tactics, was not because he was stupid, but because this kind of thing had never happened in the past.

You must know that in the current era, there are no street lights in the wild. Coupled with nutritional factors, once night falls, most people will be half-blind. In this case, if you want to march at night, you must set up a lot of Lighting objects such as torches, in this way, the troops are extremely easy to be spotted by the enemy when they are advancing.Of course, it is not absolutely impossible to carry out a secret march without lighting a torch, but it is a test of the quality of the army.

Today, there are less than two armies in every country that can march secretly at night. The Girton Knights led by the Duke of Girton is one of the strongest troops in the empire. The conditions are extremely superior in all aspects. It is not surprising to be among them However, the coalition army led by Katerina is just a motley patchwork of many countries, and it is impossible to have such conditions.

Therefore, according to common sense deduction, it is impossible for the coalition army to carry out nighttime sneak attack tactics. It is precisely because of this "common sense" that Duke Girton dared to carry out night attacks on the coalition army with confidence, but he lacked precautions.

If the opponent was replaced by someone else, Duke Girton's approach would be no problem. Unfortunately, his opponent this time is Katerina who has mastered the industrial power.

For others, it is almost impossible for an ordinary army to march secretly at night, but for Katerina, she only needs a small auxiliary item to easily achieve her goal. .........

[Flame of the Revenant], a magic material, is not only expensive and difficult to make, but also because it is not commonly used and has many substitutes, there are very few magicians who can make it.

This extremely rare magic material has now been figured out by Katerina and has been mass-produced in Burrose. The reason why this magic material was noticed by Katerina is entirely because of the material Possesses a strange characteristic - after being subjected to a small amount of magic radiation, this material can release a weak light source for a long time.

Because the Burros Air Force has a need for aircraft to take off and land at night, Katerina relied on the industrial foundation of Azure Eye and Burros to research the mass production method of this material, and it is precisely because of the high quality of this material The cheapness made it possible to march secretly at night.

Its use method is very simple, as long as a little paint made of this material is painted on the back of the soldiers, after that, every soldier will become an indicator of the soldiers behind, and because the light source released by this material is quite weak, people outside the range of more than ten meters It is out of sight and extremely difficult to be noticed while marching.

The appearance of this special paint made the coalition army, which was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly become more powerful than the empire in its ability to march secretly at night, and thus the surprise attack at this moment was successful.

Therefore, in the fall of the imperial camp, Duke Girton was not so much defeated by Katerina's ingenuity as it was that the power of industrialization crushed the old common sense.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Katerina has no sense of pride in facing the victory in front of her, but instead becomes more cautious.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask..."

At this moment, when Katerina was silently thinking about her next step, a familiar voice suddenly broke into her ears, and after looking at the source of the voice, she seemed to have noticed something, and the girl smiled slightly. He narrowed his eyes, and then said calmly,

"It's Celia, who is this guy next to you?"

On the other side, seeing her lord pretending to be ignorant, Celia, who is a close vassal of the queen, glanced at the people around her, and responded very cooperatively,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this person's name is Casiod Sukalo. He was a close minister of the second son of Grand Duke Zenosi before. However, he has turned to the light not long ago and provided us with very useful information. He has contributed to this victory. must."

"Is that so......" After listening to Celia's remarks, Katerina nodded thoughtfully, and then asked again,

"Since he is the hero of this battle, then take him to the secretary of meritorious service to discuss meritorious deeds. Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, he......"

"Your Majesty is here for His Majesty's immortal cause!"

The next moment, just as Katerina's voice fell and Celia had no time to answer, the man who had been standing beside the female knight, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke first to answer.

Then, under Katerina's suddenly cold gaze, the man first took a deep breath, then suddenly bowed, and bowed heavily in front of the girl in a posture of throwing his body to the ground.

"Your majesty's holy splendor can shine through the thousand-year epic, and your majesty's majesty can stare down at the sky and the moon."

"I know that I am immoral, like filth in the world, and my Majesty will hate it when I look at it, but I still have meager talents, and I also have the determination to join the great cause. When overcoming thorns and thorns, you will never hesitate to die!"

ps: Unexpectedly, we updated again, wow Kaka

204 Chapter 200

After the words fell, there was silence on the field. Casiod Shukalo, who had just finished his speech, bowed his knees and lowered his head deeply, as if he was a prisoner waiting for the trial of fate. In his sight, In addition to the damp ground, only a pair of exquisite women's hunting boots can be seen.

On the other side, Katerina leaned on the bench covered with animal skins, her eyes narrowed slightly, like a lion weighing the value of its prey, quietly staring at the person in front of it, until after a long time, Only then did a quiet voice sound slowly,

"I'm a little confused......"

At this moment, as if she wanted to show her doubts to the outside world, Katerina, who was leaning on the back of the bench, suddenly straightened her body, and then her calf swayed slightly. Supporting his chin, he put on a curious look,

"Casold, the ancestor of your family is one of the founders of the Principality of Buzeledo. Your family enjoys a high honor in the Principality, and you are also one of the most famous figures in the Principality."

"The Principality of Buzeledo has endowed you with a distinguished status and honor that ordinary people envy, but now, you suddenly say that you have abandoned all of this and hope to be under my command...... ..”
