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

After that, with the piercing sound of cavalry whistle sounded on the battlefield, the two imperial cavalry standing on the left and right sides of the coalition army formation quickly completed the formation, and their formation was like an arrow. The Edge is made up of imperial knights who have wielded extraordinary powers.

Each of these knights is the backbone of the imperial army. They are all wearing heavy armor, and even the horses they sit on are also wearing armor. The most terrifying thing is that every piece of these armor is enchanted. When the magic is activated, the defense and durability of the armor will be greatly improved.

Previously, because of the suggestion of a certain imperial prince, the Girton Knights had tested the strike effect of the electromagnetic gun, and the final experimental result was that the electromagnetic gun did have a powerful armor-piercing ability against the armor of ordinary knights within the effective killing range. , but the magic armor can easily resist the projectiles fired by the electromagnetic gun before the magic energy is exhausted.

This means that when the Girton Knights focus on heavy knights, if the electromagnetic guns of the joint army cannot consume the magic power of the enchanted armor before the imperial knights rush into the formation, then the imperial knights will be like a A solid wall protected the ordinary knights behind and charged into the formation of the coalition army, followed by a massacre without any suspense.

At this moment, he checked his tactical arrangement for the last time in his heart, and after confirming that there were no omissions, Duke Girton let out a deep breath. Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand and pulled down the steel mask on his helmet heavily. For a moment, an old but high-pitched cry resounded over the battlefield like thunder on the ground,

"Girton Knights, go forward—!"

Chapter 207 203 - Frustrated

"Hurry up, speed up, the enemy's scouts are coming!"

"Damn it, I can't stand it! Don't run away, everyone. We can't outrun the scouts in heavy armor. Why don't we turn around now and fight those bastards!"

"Shut up, you idiot! We don't even have ii war horses now, so what are we going to do with our lives? Are you trying to drag everyone to a dead end?"

"What, are you afraid of death? You shameful coward!"

"Take back your stupid words, you stupid fool! While I was fighting for the Empire on the battlefield, you were still rolling in the mud in the training camp!"

.........

Located in a certain jungle in the direction of the river in the small town of Victorville, a group of figures dressed as imperial knights were struggling to walk through the jungle.

At this moment, the appearance of the imperial knights looked extremely embarrassed, as if they had experienced a disastrous defeat. They were covered with blood and mud all over their bodies. The weapons were all missing, and there were only four horses in the whole procession.Moreover, these knights not only appeared to be in a state of embarrassment on the outside, but also on the inside were in a bad state of mind. Under their eye sockets, the pair of eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke, and their eyes revealed despair and hopelessness. Panic is like a beast driven into a corner.

The current scene has never happened in the past hundreds of years. The imperial knights are the backbone of defending the interests of the empire. Since the day the empire was promoted from the kingdom rank, they have always been a symbol of courage and determination , Even if you encounter failure on the battlefield, you will never fall into such a situation.

However, at this moment, on these imperial knights, there is no longer any glory, nor the pride and belief that they swore to stick to. Everyone's expressions are full of gloomy colors.

This bleak scene made people wonder, what happened to make these proud imperial knights what they are now?

Harveys also wants to know about this issue.

Harveys Kerken is the nephew of Coleman, the deputy head of the Girton Knights. He serves as the captain of the Knights. He has a good background. He has always regarded joining the Girton Knights as the highest honor in his life.

In Harveys' cognition, the Girton Knights are an invincible existence. He firmly believes that in this world, except for mountains and rivers, nothing can stop the Girton Knights' charge. However, not long ago, This indestructible belief was easily crushed like a bubble in the sun.

The time went back to an hour ago, when Harveys had just received an attack order from the Duke of Girton, and was about to charge the coalition army formation.

For the upcoming battle, Harveys was full of confidence in victory. This confidence not only came from the Duke of Girton, who was going to fight in person, but also from the identity of the enemy commander.

Harveys is a proper male chauvinist. No matter how others evaluate Katerina, and no matter how many halos the girl wears, in his eyes, Katerina is just a little girl who has just grown up. With some intrigue and trickery, it would be nice not to cry on the frontal battlefield.

With the support of this mentality, Harveys is naturally full of confidence, and as if to confirm his thoughts, when the Knights launched a charge, the coalition forces made a fatal mistake... .........

It seemed that the previous feint had played a role. After the Girton Knights charged, the soldiers of the United Army never fired, as if they had decided that their charge this time was still a feint.

In this regard, Harveys was secretly delighted, and his evaluation of Katerina became even lower. At that time, he even thought that after defeating the coalition army, he must try to capture Katerina himself, for his own sake. Fight for a big credit.

However, unfortunately, at the moment when the Girton Knights broke into the barrier in front of the coalition army, Harveys' good expectations for the future disappeared in an instant like a mirage blown by the wind, leaving There is only a dark nightmare.

Harveys' memory of that time is very vague. He doesn't even know what happened at that time. The only clear picture in his mind now is a series of violent roars like thunder tearing the sky, and his companions who followed Howling before they died, when he finally woke up, everything was already a foregone conclusion......

The Girton Knights were defeated.

The most elite military force in the empire suffered a crushing defeat in front of the enemy. There are less than a hundred people in the entire knight order, and the supreme commander of the knight order is still seriously injured and comatose.

Harveys couldn't accept such a miserable reality, and what made him even more unacceptable was that, as the best soldier in the empire, he didn't even know how he lost this battle.

Throughout the battle, the knights of the Girton Knights were still as brave as ever. As the commander, the Duke of Girton did not fall behind in terms of tactics.No matter how you look at it, even if you can't win, you shouldn't lose so miserably.

So.....what's wrong with this?Why did it become like this?

"....... Reckless man, do you want to fight a duel?!"

"Come on, you coward, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Time goes back to the present, just when Harveys was in a daze, the quarrel beside him began to become more intense, and several companions who were at the center of the quarrel seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and now they drew their swords Facing each other, they looked like they were going to fight to the death.

Faced with this situation, only a small number of other people in the team tried to persuade them to fight, and most of them stood silently by the side, their eyes full of blankness of not knowing what to do.

Seeing that a fratricidal strife is about to break out, suddenly, someone shouted in surprise,

"Everyone stop, look, Your Excellency the Duke is awake!"

Hearing this call full of excitement, everyone was stunned at the same time, and then, seeing someone who was slowly waking up, the people seemed to have found the backbone, and quickly surrounded the center of the team.

Immediately afterwards, amidst waves of concerned or anxious greetings from the crowd, Duke Girton, who was expected by everyone, finally slowly recovered his sanity, and the moment he regained his sanity, heart-wrenching pain enveloped Gorton instantly. Duke's perception.

A moment later, when Duke Girton endured the pain and looked at the source of the pain with difficulty, the legendary Duke instinctively widened his eyes as if he had seen something terrible.It turned out that half of his arm had disappeared at some point, leaving only a small limb wrapped in blood-soaked gauze.

Looking at his stump, Duke Girton became a little dazed, until after a long time, a slightly trembling voice of inquiry slowly sounded here,

"Why just you? Where are the others? Deputy Commander Coleman? Where are they all?"

Hearing the Duke Girton's question, most of the people present lowered their heads in silence. A few officers looked at each other with sorrow in their eyes. For a while, no one answered the Duke's question, until after a while Finally, under the increasingly indifferent gaze of Duke Girton, someone finally said tremblingly,

"Your Excellency, we...we were scattered by the enemy, and we are the only ones who can gather here now."

Facing the answers given by his subordinates, Duke Girton suddenly fell silent. After a while, the Duke stood up abruptly. After pushing away the subordinates who were trying to help him, he looked around and said to himself whispered like a language,

"The entire Girton Knights, now you are the only ones left?"

"That's right...we lost~?"

Duke Girton's self-question was not answered, the surroundings were silent, everyone lowered their heads, and the atmosphere on the court seemed particularly gloomy.

Seeing this scene, Duke Girton forcibly suppressed the surging negative emotions in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he used his remaining arm to press the shoulder of an officer beside him, speaking urgently and heavily. asked,

"You, tell me, how did we lose?"

Regarding Duke Girton's questioning, the officer whose shoulder was pressed opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Seeing this, Duke Girton pushed it away impatiently, and then grabbed another an officer's shoulder, and repeated the same question again,

"Tell me, how did we lose?!"

The voice fell, and the response to Duke Girton was still silent. He repeatedly forwarded this question to several people without giving up, but he never got an answer. Finally, it seemed that he could no longer hold back the emotions in his heart. Like a raging lion, the legendary Duke roared fiercely at everyone,

"You are the best knights in the empire! You are the sharpest blades in the empire!"

"But now, we lost so miserably, but no one knows how we lost this battle!"

"Can this be considered the best knight in the empire?!"

"answer me--!"

"I..." Finally, just when Duke Girton's anger was about to reach its peak, a trembling voice suddenly sounded,

"Your Excellency, I know."

At this moment, upon hearing this voice, everyone, including Duke Girton, looked towards the source almost at the same time. After that, a shy young knight entered everyone's field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Duke Girton walked in front of the other party without hesitation, looked at the young knight who looked awkward in front of him, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a soft voice,

"Take it easy, kid. Tell me first, what's your name~?"

It seemed that he wasn't quite used to the sudden change in Duke Girton, and the expression on the young knight's face became even more tense. However, under the comforting gaze of Duke Girton, he quickly controlled his emotions and tried his best to calm down. replied in a tone of voice,

"Reporting to Your Excellency, my name is Cavalon Darke, the eldest son of the Darke family, I......"

"No!" The next moment, before the knight could finish introducing his identity, Duke Girton suddenly waved his remaining arm, and at the same time interrupted in an affirmative tone,

"I have an impression of Cafaron's kid. He is a very proud young man. He is full of energy, brave and aggressive. He is unconvinced by anyone, and the most important thing is..."

"He's not a girl."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's eyes were focused on the young knight in an instant, and as the focus of everyone's eyes, the young knight who claimed to be Cavalon Darke was trembling all over his body, as if A fairy whose skin has been stripped.

Afterwards, before the young knight could defend himself, Duke Girton spoke first,

"Don't panic, kid. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that at this moment of crisis, I really don't want you to waste your energy on how to fabricate lies. The next thing will be related to the future fate of the empire. I must get the truth Answer."

"Now, please tell me your real name."

At this moment, facing Duke Girton's sincere eyes, the young knight seemed to have been inspired. She bit her lip, then took off her helmet, revealing her brown and black slightly curly long hair. Immediately afterwards, A voice full of firmness sounded here,

"Reporting to Your Excellency, I am the second daughter of the Dalk family, and Cavalon Dalk is the older brother. For some reason, I replaced him in this expedition."

"I'm sorry for deceiving you just now, and besides, my real name is...Jeanne Darc!"

208 Chapter 204

"Jeanne Darc~?"

Hearing the female knight's answer in front of him, Duke Girton nodded slightly, and whispered her name again, and then he pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth with difficulty,

"Well, it's a good name. Your father must love you very much."

"It's a pity, you are a good girl. If it were at other times, I would have given you a meeting gift as an elder, but now, I can only face you as the head of the Girton Knights."

Having said this, he glanced at the female knight whose body was suddenly tense in front of him. Duke Girton sighed soothingly, then reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"Relax, child, no matter what the reason is, it is not important for you to appear in front of me at this moment. No one will hold you accountable now."

"Perhaps soon, the Girton Knights will cease to exist......"

"Your Excellency, I..." Hearing the words of Duke Girton, the female knight named Jeanne Darc choked for breath, and then instinctively wanted to say something, but still Before she could speak, Duke Girton sighed and waved his hand,

"Okay, kid, I know what's going to happen in the future. You don't need to say more. Time is running out now. Let's talk about the business."

"Son, please describe to us the details of the battle just now. Not long after the battle started, I unfortunately fell into a coma, and the other people present were also stunned. They didn't know what happened afterwards."

"Now I just hope you can provide something useful. In any case, I want to know how we lost this battle."

Facing the Duke's request, the female knight subconsciously glanced around. After realizing that other people's eyes were focused on her, she couldn't help pursing her lips, and then took a deep breath.After a while, the female knight, who had already adjusted her emotions, calmed down all the fluctuations in her expression, and in a calm and serious tone, began to describe the battle process to everyone......

"When the charge started, I was in the fourth row of the third array of the charge queue, at the end of the arrow array."

"After receiving the order to charge, I started charging with the team. The task was to clear away the enemies blocking the way. However, when my unit was about to charge into the enemy's formation, multiple layers of barbed wire suddenly popped up on the ground in front of me...... …”

"Barbed wire?!" At this moment, upon hearing a certain word from the mouth of the female knight, some people around couldn't help but questioned,

"Can you really be sure it's barbed wire?"
