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

"Hehe, Cassod, I think you should know what this practice means, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Facing Katerina's question, Cassold, who was almost prostrate on the ground, finally raised his head at this time, and after staring deeply at the girl, he responded in a very respectful tone. ,

"I have already made up my mind to abandon everything to follow His Majesty, I only pray that Your Majesty will be tolerant and open your wings, and accept my service..."

"Why?!" Before Casiod could finish speaking, Katerina suddenly waved her hand and interrupted his speech. Afterwards, a burst of cold questioning sounded here,

"Why did you make this choice?"

"Let's not talk about the final outcome of this battle. Even if the empire loses in the end, with your family's situation, no matter where Boozeredo belongs in the future, you are an indispensable and important force, and you can completely avoid the liquidation of the alliance. .”

"As long as you are in the spotlight, you and your family can still enjoy the honor you once had in Boozeredo, and even if you are lucky, you may even be promoted."

"In this situation, why did you choose to be under my command?"

"I need to know why!"

At this moment, it seemed that he felt the determination contained in Katerina's questioning voice, and Cassod, who realized that he could not avoid the question, finally decided to tell the truth after hesitating for a while.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I am the illegitimate son of the Shukalo family......"

Next, Casiod used concise and sincere words, as if opening his heart, and spread out his life experience and the current situation of his family in front of Katerina. Only then did the girl understand the reason.

It turned out that the current situation Cass Odd is facing is very bad. The previous natural disaster and the man-made disaster that broke out immediately after the natural disaster not only destroyed the ruling foundation of his family, but also destroyed the superstructure of his family.

At the moment when the torrential rain caused the flood, all members of the direct line of the Sukalo family were gathering. Unfortunately, the meeting place was soon affected by the flood, and almost all members of the direct line were killed in the flood. Individuals were also killed in the ensuing mob onslaught.

Afterwards, due to the annihilation of all members of the direct line, the entire Shukalo family fell into a leaderless situation. What's worse, the surviving members of the family branch started a brutal internal struggle in order to compete for the supreme power of the family, regardless of the current situation.

In the end, the members of the branch headed by Cassod won the supreme power in the infighting of the Shukalo family. However, this victory is meaningless, because a series of changes have destroyed the Shukalo family. foundation.Coupled with the recent changes in the general environment of the Principality of Buzeredo (taking refuge in the Empire), the Shucalo family at this time is purely an empty shell with a high-ranking noble title, and there is no corresponding strength at all.

Nobles have always been the most realistic group. Without the foundation and strength as a support, the Shukalo family cannot stand up in the aristocratic circle of Buzeredo Principality. If there is no way to change this situation, then welcome Shukalo The family will surely end in perish.

And obviously, Boozeredo, who is already in charge of the family, doesn't want to see his family perish, that's why he took action at this moment.

"...So that's how it is."

After listening to Casiod's explanation, Katerina, who understood the reason, relaxed her frown slightly, but then, as if thinking of something, the girl squinted her eyes and stared at the front of her again. After a while, she said abruptly,

"Why did you choose me?"

"If you want to restore the glory of the family, don't you have other better choices?"

"Bulrose is just a small country, and it is isolated overseas, and its national strength is relatively poor. If you choose to serve me, you and your family may not get much. In the end, you must pay more than you get in return."

"With your ingenuity, why would you make such a stupid choice?"

At this moment, facing Katerina's questioning, Casiod gently closed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly raised his head and faced the girl's scrutiny with firm eyes. Immediately afterwards, a decisive voice came Sounds here........

"Because I believe that His Majesty has the ambition to control the world!"

After the voice fell, the field became instantly silent. The false arc that had been maintained at the corner of Katerina's mouth disappeared at some point. Celia on the side put her hand on the hilt of her sword, her arm muscles swelled, as if The next moment, the blade will be stained with blood.

"Hehe, Casiod, you really know how to tell jokes~~"

After a long time, Katerina suddenly restrained the coldness in her eyes, and then, while leaning her body against the back of the seat, she said ironically in an unclear tone,

"How can I, a little girl who has just grown up, have the crazy idea of ​​controlling the world?"

"Besides, Burros is not an empire. Even if I have such an idea, what can I do with Burros' strength? It's just a ridiculous delusion."

"The joke you said is really not funny at all!"

Facing Katerina's ridicule, Casiod's expression remained unchanged, but a professional smile hung on his face, and then he lowered his voice, as if asking himself a question and answering,

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid and guessing what His Majesty is thinking."

"However, if it is possible, can your majesty tell me why you ordered all the ships docked at the ferry to be burned just now?"

At this point, looking at Katerina whose expression changed slightly, Cassod maintained a respectful attitude and continued to speak,

"If your information is correct, His Majesty's trip seems to be at the invitation of the royal families of the allied countries, as a foreign commander, to lead the coalition army to defend against the invasion of the imperial army."

"Your Majesty has already destroyed the imperial barracks and burned its food and grass at this time. If you stop here, the imperial army will choose to withdraw to Boozeredo with a high probability. This brilliant victory is enough to give the allies an explanation. Do more."

"However, His Majesty chose to burn all the ferries. As a result, the only option for the imperial army is to fight to the end."

"Although I don't know what your majesty can rely on to deal with the imperial army's desperate counterattack, but......"

"In terms of the status of the externally hired commander, is your Majesty going too far in this move~?"

After finishing speaking, the field became quiet again. Katerina stared at the person in front of her. In the girl's eyes that seemed to be solidified, she clearly revealed surprise and inquiry. On the other side, facing the girl's gaze, The sense of oppression conveyed, Casiod did not avoid it, but stood in a respectful posture.

I don't know how long it took, Katerina stood up suddenly from her seat, and then slowly walked in front of Casiod, and at the next moment, there was only a soft cry of the long sword being unsheathed, and in an instant, a A cold light shone out, and with a sharp edge wrapped in a strong wind, it slashed straight at Casiod's neck!

Facing Katerina's sudden "violence", Casiod couldn't help but open his eyes wide, but his body remained motionless as if a sculpture, until he clearly felt the sharp edge had landed on his shoulders. The ruler of the Shukaluo family knelt down on the ground without hesitation, and when he bowed his head, a faint voice sounded beside his ears,

"I, Katerina Aldan, hereby proclaim in the name of Queen Burros that I canonize Casiod Sucaro as Lord Burros."

"From this moment on, Casiod Sucaro and his family, as my subjects of Burros, are allowed to embrace the glory of Burros and accept the asylum of Burros."

At this moment, when he heard the announcement of this extremely meaningful promise, and realized that his plan had been realized, no matter how calm Casiod was, he couldn't help showing joy at this moment, but soon, he restrained his emotions, And knelt down on the ground, and responded loudly with a respectful gesture,

"My lord, Casiod Sucaro, thank you for your majesty's kindness, and I am willing to die for your majesty's great cause!"

After Casiod finished the necessary honorifics for the canonization ceremony, before he could further express his loyalty to Katerina, the girl waved her hand and interrupted,

"Okay, that's it. This is not a formal occasion. I will save the formal honorifics for later. Now let's talk about the business."

"Mr. Casiod, according to the information you provided before, the Imperial Knights came to trouble me this time, and the whole army came out, right? How many imperial troops are there in Buzeledo?"

Facing Katerina's informal attitude, Casiod seemed a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help being stunned for a while, but soon, he adjusted his role, and after careful consideration, he spoke in an affirmative tone. replied,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Imperial Knights have indeed come out in full force this time. Apart from some supply troops, the imperial guards currently staying at Buzeledo's place are only half of the infantry regiment guarding the gate of the canyon. , about a thousand people."

Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, Casiod added again,

"However, although the imperial army is weak, there are still three legions under the command of Grand Duke Zenosi. Although the combat effectiveness of those troops is not strong, at most it is equivalent to the town defense troops of various countries, but there are still more than [-] people."

"Now Grand Duke Zenosi is determined to rebel against the alliance. If His Majesty has any ideas, please take this power into consideration."

After listening to Cascade's answer, Katerina nodded thoughtfully, then, the girl stared at Cascade, and suddenly said,

"Mr. Cassod, there is a very important matter to be entrusted to you now. I can tell you in advance that this matter is not easy to complete, and it may even cost you your life. I wonder if you are willing to continue ?”

At this moment, in the face of Katerina's inquiry, Casiod seemed to have expected it. Without any hesitation, he made a firm promise almost at the same time as the girl's voice fell,

"Your Majesty... is willing to die for His Majesty!"

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

Two hours later, the imperial barracks,

The Duke of Girton, who finally led his army back to the base camp, rode his horse and stood at the gate of the camp. He looked around, and saw that the camp that had been repaired was pretty neat, and now only a piece of desolate ruins remained. .

On the ferry a little further away, there were broken ships burning with flames everywhere. The flames on the river flickered, flickering on Duke Girton's face, making him look like he was lurking in the darkness. monster.

"Your Excellency, the pursuit team we sent out has returned."

After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly called in Duke Girton's ear. After hearing the sound, Duke Girton tilted his head slightly and realized that it was his deputy Coleman. He exhaled slightly, and immediately asked in a calm voice,

"Why did you come back so fast? Did you not catch up?"

Facing Duke Girton's question, Coleman replied with a sullen face and a cold tone,

"No, we caught up, but there's nothing we can do about them."

"According to what the chasing team said, the combined army's rear-end troops seem to have a very peculiar weapon that can create a star magic in midair. The light it blooms is quite strong enough to disperse the night in a large area."

"When our people were chasing, they were locked by this kind of star magic. The enemy couldn't see it when they hid in the dark and shot, but our people were illuminated so that they had nowhere to hide, so they could only be beaten passively."

"In order to prevent meaningless casualties, the commander chose to give up the pursuit."

"That's it..." After listening to Coleman's remarks, Duke Girton let out a long breath, and then he said calmly,

"That's it, Coleman, go and convey my order, let all the soldiers rest as soon as possible, tomorrow we are going to start a decisive battle with the coalition forces!"

"Decisive battle?" At this moment, upon hearing Duke Girton's order, Coleman did not execute it immediately, but asked in a hesitant tone.

"Your Excellency, are you really going to do this? Is it too risky?"

Faced with Coleman's hesitation, Duke Girton, who was watching the direction of the coalition army, first gave a wry smile, and then explained in a helpless tone,

"In the current situation, there is no such thing as taking risks or not taking risks."

"That little girl... No, it should be said that she is the commander of the combined army, the Azure Queen of Burrose. She only left us one way."

"All the ships were destroyed, food and grass were burned, and we have nowhere to go. If we don't want to be trapped here, we can only fight to the death with the coalition forces tomorrow."

Having said this, Duke Girton suddenly let out a long sigh, and after looking back at Coleman, he continued with a little emotion,

"That Azure Queen, as His Highness said, is not only intelligent, but also engraved firmness and determination into her soul. Once the target is determined, she will never leave the enemy a retreat."

"It's really...... amazing~"

"Hmph!" At this moment, hearing Duke Girton's praise of the enemy, Coleman felt something was wrong, so he snorted coldly,

"Your Excellency, you have given too much credit to that little girl."

"I admit that we did underestimate her before, but she is just a little smart."

"If she was really a smart person, she shouldn't have burned our ship. She thought that burning the ship would drive us to a dead end, but she didn't realize that she actually drove herself to a dead end."

"Before we didn't do anything, it was just because we were concerned about casualties. Now that she has cut off our retreat and left us with no way to retreat, casualties are no longer our most important consideration. In this way, what else does she have to rely on? We fight?"

"Is it based on that dissatisfied motley crew? Or is it based on that little trick?"

"It's ridiculous!"

"Your Excellency, I will deliver the order now to let all the soldiers rest well tonight. Tomorrow we will let that little girl know that the real battlefield cannot be controlled by being clever."

After finishing speaking, Coleman turned his head and walked towards the distance. On the other side, looking at the back of his deputy, Duke Girton opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything, just Quietly closed his mouth, and looked at the distant world shrouded in night.

At this moment, the moon was covered by clouds, and the darkness entrenched in the world seemed deeper and deeper, as if something terrible was conceived in the deepest part of the darkness. Duke Girton tried his best to open his eyes, but he couldn't see anything clearly, and at this moment , A gust of cold wind suddenly blew across his neck, and the chill carried by the wind made him shiver instinctively......

Chapter 205 201. The Prelude to the Decisive Battle!

The next day, at dawn, when the first ray of dawn, like a golden blade, pierced down from the top of the clouds, the darkness shrouded in the world instantly dissipated.

And at the moment when the curtain of night was lifted by the light of the morning sun, a gust of cold air whizzed across the earth, blowing away the last lingering darkness in the human world, and then, the light returned to the human world.
