Chapter 321 Female Marshal

"Although this was only a small victory, it made Winster's army temporarily unable to attack, and continued the kingdom of Miganis that should have perished... If there were still people who questioned that Katrin was the mother of the seven hundred gods who came to save Messenger of the kingdom, then after the Battle of Roney Lake, any doubts will disappear. - "Saint Catherine""

……

woo-woo-

Accompanied by the sound of passionate horns, the Miganis army who defeated the Winsters at Lake Roni returned triumphantly. They held their heads high and their chests held high like a rainbow, accepting the cheers of the entire Malafa people.

This was a rejuvenating victory, there is no doubt about it, when the news came back to Malafa that Katrin and her army defeated the invading enemy at Lake Roni, the whole city residents including Prince Tegral They were all ecstatic, and they spontaneously gathered that night to celebrate their hard-won victory, singing and dancing.

It was also this victory that completely broke the myth that the Winsters were invincible. Although they used tricks in the battle, it still did not change the fact that they defeated the enemy head-on.

"Katrin! Katrin! Katrin!"

The loud cheers of the soldiers and the crowd resounded suddenly. After seeing Katrin's plain face, the civilians who greeted the triumphant army broke out with great enthusiasm. First, one or two people shouted, and soon it was like a plague. It generally infected all the civilians and soldiers on both sides of the street. For a moment, the voice of chanting Katrin's name resounded through the sky, almost making the whole city tremble.

Katrin was obviously not mentally prepared for all this. She was a little helpless when she saw the excited and cheering civilians and soldiers surrounding her, but under the reminder of Robert behind her, she suppressed her surprise and pretended to be calm about these "Avid fans" waved.

On the other side, looking at the 18-year-old girl Katrin surrounded by soldiers and people, Prince Teglar had mixed feelings in his heart. The kingdom's military power and people's hearts were almost captured by Katrin. Although she has not shown much ambition, but It still made Prince Teglar feel sorry for him and felt a little uneasy.

Although Katrin claimed to save the Kingdom of Mijanis under the banner of the Goddess of Seven Hundred Mothers, she was ultimately just a low-status peasant girl, not a serious noble or royal member.

Teglar had a premonition that even in such a situation where he had just repelled the enemy and won a short respite, the nobles in the kingdom would take the opportunity to make trouble. This is the style of the old fritter nobles.

"Your Highness, that rural mud-legged man has won the support of many people, which may be detrimental to your rule."

At this moment, the court chief who had followed Teglar from Fort Migelen whispered to him, bringing the young prince back to reality.

Tegral glanced at him lightly when he heard the words, and said nothing. Seeing that he did not respond, the palace steward continued to persuade: "Your Highness, in fact, the real commander of the Battle of Roney Lake is the deputy general Robert Tam who is beside Catherine. Without the existence of Robert, it would be impossible for our army to win such a big victory with that lowly peasant woman alone, so..."

"So what?" Teglar interrupted him, and said lightly, "So I want someone to arrest Katrin and throw her into a dirty dungeon?"

"Ah, this..." The court steward was a little caught off guard by his rhetorical question, and suddenly had nothing to say, but Tegral didn't give him time to think, and scolded: "Stop saying these things, now Winston The human cavalry is still in the south, and we can only rely on Katrin to defend our country."

When he said this, Teglar felt a bit sad in his heart. In the end, such a huge kingdom had to rely on an 18-year-old girl to lead the army to repel the enemy.

At this moment, Katrin had already got rid of the enthusiastic people and soldiers, and rode her horse towards Teglar. When she was about 20 meters away from the prince, she stopped her horse, got off her horse, and touched the prince with one hand. With the hilt at his waist, he quickly walked towards Teglar, half-kneeled in front of him, and said: "Your Highness, our army has defeated Winster's army and killed nearly a thousand enemies (Landauer's chain The armored cavalry brigade was almost wiped out, and the spear sergeants also suffered heavy losses on the slippery ice)!"

"You are doing well, my dear General Katrin." Teglar praised, he stretched out his hand to support Katrin with a smile on his face, and when his hand touched the girl's hand, he could only feel the latter's palm It's not as soft as those noble women, even worse than the court maids. It feels rough and has many calluses-this feeling is like holding his father's hand when he was a child.

Thinking of his father, the brilliance in Teglar's pupils dimmed a lot. His father may not be a very good ruler, but he was definitely a brave warrior. Since he was a child, his father took the lead in every war, He personally led the knights of the kingdom to charge the enemy, and because of this, his father also won the title of "Lion", but now that the lion is dead, his kingdom is about to follow his footsteps to perish.

Holding Katrin's hand, Teglar slowly lifted it over the heads of the two, and then, in front of all the residents and soldiers in the city, he said loudly: "As the legal heir of the kingdom, I declare , appointed Catherine (she came from a humble background, but she has no surname) as the marshal of the kingdom, and appointed her deputy Robert Tam as the deputy marshal. All military actions in the kingdom will be decided by the two marshals!"

"People of the Kingdom of Meganis, let us cheer for Katrin, the unprecedented great female marshal!"

"Katrin! Katrin! Katrin!"

All of a sudden, the whole city resounded with applause. In the sea of ​​cheers, Katrin's body trembled slightly as her arm was held up by Prince Teglar. This was the most glorious moment in her life. At least before today, she could only As a bystander, she could watch those nobles being treated like this. On the other hand, before she got the oracle, because of the poverty of her family, she had been subjected to other people's eyes, discrimination, and humiliation.

……

After the triumph, Katrin and her reliable lieutenant—no, it should be called Deputy Marshal Robert now—the two followed His Royal Highness into the inner fort of Malafa City, which is Prince Tragel's The temporary residence was, in fact, the safest place at present. As long as the enemy did not invade Marafa, he would not be in danger.

While walking, Prince Tegral asked the newly promoted Marshal behind him: "Katrin, the Winsters have been defeated, should we take this opportunity to go south and recover the fallen city?"

"It's better to find out the enemy's strength in the south first. If our army rushes south and meets the enemy's main force, the whole army will be wiped out." Katrin said, "But if the enemy's number is not large, we can use the large number Sheng Yuwei went south, and I believe that those cities and castles that surrendered will definitely return to our camp when they see our army's flag."
