Transferring back to the imperial capital represents the complete failure of Ji Na's leading the army this time, but in the face of an almost completely impossible rout, Ji Na also struggled from the beginning to slowly become an acceptance of reality.

After all, seriously speaking, Ji Na is just a little girl who has just turned sixteen this year, and at this age on the earth in the future, she is still in the stage of chasing stars in high school, how can she lead the army to the battlefield.

"Adams, I feel like I'm a real failure as a commander. ”

Jina stood in front of the camp tent, looked at the soldiers who were drinking and gambling on the periphery, and bit her lip and said.

At this moment, Ji Na was also very uncomfortable in her heart, and there was a kind of powerless self-blame, obviously Duke had already helped her to collect the defeated army, but she didn't expect it to become like this, could it be said that she was really not suitable for leading the army to fight?

Looking at Princess Gina like this, Adams also felt a sense of distress, not everyone is a god of war, and he can be invincible when he leads the army for the first time. Ji Na has done well enough at her age, if His Majesty the Emperor could let the princess first pick a fief and cultivate her own strength, maybe she wouldn't be so powerless now.

"Your Highness Princess, Lord Duke is leading the Storm Army to support, and everything will be fine. ”

Hearing Adams' comfort, Gina smiled gratefully, when she knew that Adams had asked Duke for help, Gina understood how difficult it was for him to ask for help with Adams's proud character, so she was grateful to Adams for her efforts.

"I hope so. ”

Gina muttered a word, Duke's cynical face coming to mind. I don't know when it started, but this well-known straw bag in the imperial capital has become almost like his savior. Whenever he was at his most powerless, Duke became his last support, and Gina really never dreamed that she would be in this situation today.

Just when Gina felt that fate had made a fool of her, the group walked into the camp, led by Yárman, the logistics officer of Marseille.

Yarman walked up to Princess Gina and saluted casually, with no respect in his movements. Seeing Yarman's attitude, Adams felt an irrepressible anger at the beginning, and took a step forward to glare at Yarman, while his hand was on the hilt of his sword.

Seeing Adams' move, several guards behind Yarman also looked at Adams with vigilant eyes, looking tense.

If Duke saw this kind of scene, it is estimated that his jaw would drop in shock, a lord's official would dare to be so arrogant, this is simply comparable to fighting with Princess Gina in Storm Castle in the first place. However, he was arguing with the princess in private, and he was still respectful on the surface, and this Marseille city was almost like a rebellion.

However, the lord of Marseille belongs to the vassals of the Duchy of Bute, although in the royal concept of the Middle World, there is also the idea of leading the shore of the land, which is not the idea of a prince. However, in practice, some great lords do not consider their vassals to belong to the emperor's vassals, and in reality, the emperor's orders are rarely directly issued to the vassals of the vassals.

This is a bit tongue-twisting, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is the central imperial power, and the control of local vassals is insufficient, which is also the biggest drawback of the mining system. However, the control of imperial power in this world is still stronger than that of the early Middle Ages, basically reaching the level of late Napoleon, and under normal circumstances, vassals everywhere dare not be so arrogant.

If you really want to anger the royal family, it is not impossible to directly gather an army to rebel to maintain your authority. It's just that after experiencing the war with the Milan Empire, many lords saw the weakness under the powerful appearance of the French Empire, which can be said to have greatly dampened the authority of the French Emperor.

Of course, in fact, this is also the case, the Andorran Prince's wall-to-wall view, the defeat of the imperial princess Gina, and the only Prince Edward are also struggling to support. If it weren't for the fact that Duke Otto, the imperial god of war, was still loyal, and the Holy See didn't want a big change in the pattern on the mainland, it is estimated that Emperor Fran would be "cold" after this war.

Just as the envoys of various regions in the late Tang Dynasty became self-reliant, this situation is gradually emerging in the French Empire. Although it is not as serious as self-reliance, the respect for the royal family has also decreased significantly. Not to mention that Gina is still a princess under the fence at the moment, so naturally the officials of Marseille City began to kick their noses in the face.

In the face of the royal knight's anger, the logistics officer Yarman's attitude was slightly better, and he bent down slightly to show his submission and looked at Ji Na and said: "Your Royal Highness, I am here to convey a message from Count Bran, starting today, the supply of the Imperial Army camp will be halved. ”

"The order for Marseille City to supply the Imperial Army was personally given by His Majesty the Emperor, is it intended to disobey the order of the Count of Bran halved?"

Ji Na looked at Yarman rhetorically, knowing that this group of defeated soldiers can still be confined to the barracks to eat, drink and have fun, just because there is no problem with supplies. Once there is a problem with the supply, it is very likely that there will be a riot, or even a terrible thing like a rebellion. In the first situation outside Andorra, the rout was fierce, and Gina didn't want to see it a second time.

"His Majesty the Emperor did give an order, but he didn't say that he would supply thousands of people, right? Your Royal Highness Princess, our Marseille City is just a small city, and we can't afford to supply it for so long, so I hope you will forgive me. ”

In fact, Yarman's words were not all prevarications, and the rout of the Eleventh Legion led by Princess Jina was only one or two thousand. As a result, I didn't expect that the stragglers who ran before retreating all the way began to slowly gather and gather, and the number even reached 3,000.

There are also 5,000 Frontier Knights under his leadership, although most of them have returned to their own territory after being dispersed. But there are still a thousand people who have found Princess Kina, because in this era, knights are recruited, and they are generally promised post-war money, fiefdoms, and other benefits. And the knights fought bravely and bloodily, but also in order to expand their fiefdoms and finally take a step up to the title.

However, there will always be winners and losers in wars, and theoretically there is nothing if the war is lost, which is also a common rule on the mainland. But because of the shortage of the imperial army at the beginning, the group of border knights led by Princess Jina was mixed, and many knights were not real knights.

So this group of people, led by a few real despicable knights, simply relied on Princess Gina to eat and drink. If it's okay to say that the supply of thousands of horses is definitely not a small number, Marseille City does have a bit of pressure on the supply, but to say that it can't afford it, too much is a kind of shirk.
