Chapter 132
132~ After Gaining Ability~
Over the next few days, besides slacking off, the little Princess went to the military camp to look at the army her cheap Father the King gave her.
"Really not bad."
The little Princess looked at the soldiers training below.
She now also had an army belonging to herself! And the army's scale wasn't small either!
The soldiers she'd previously possessed were almost all used to guard herself. A guard team was only about forty-some people. However, it included one Archmage and one Great Mage. This configuration, within Glaze Nation's borders, as long as they didn't encounter some particularly outrageous enemies, was already completely sufficient.
As for the army that escorted her to Scarlet Phoenix Nation six months ago, it was a small army composed of 120 people. Moreover, command authority wasn't in her hands. Its main purpose was only to escort her.
But now, she had a full army of 3,000 people! Although the quantity compared to other armies couldn't be considered much, for her it was already completely sufficient. After all, she wasn't truly using it on the battlefield.
"Your Highness, Your Highness~ Eat a peach~"
The little loli maid Xiyan thrust an already peeled peach before the little Princess's mouth.
"...Can you put it aside for a bit? I don't have time to eat right now."
She still wanted to personally go down and inspect.
Although she believed there was no problem with her cheap Father the King, she was truly itching to personally go down and see this army belonging solely to her.
The command authority of this army was completely handed to her. She was now this army's supreme commander. Although her cheap Father the King could take back military authority, as long as she didn't mess around and do things that damaged Glaze Nation's interests, basically she could hold this entire army's military authority in her hands until Glaze Nation changed kings.
"Princess, please don't get too close..."
"What, afraid of accidentally injuring me?"
"Yes, weapons have no eyes. I'm afraid Princess, if you get too close, you'll accidentally be hurt."
"No need."
She wasn't some pampered "princess," but a real, genuine princess with certain real ability!
Although part of it was fake, ability from the dimensional reduction attack of modern knowledge, she could only say this also counted as part of her strength, okay?
"But Princess..."
The Maid Xiao Xi on the side couldn't watch anymore. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by the little Princess.
"I ask you, who is the supreme commander here right now?"
"Uh uh... It's you, Princess."
"What is your identity and status?"
"Uh uh..."
"You're a soldier under me. Soldiers should properly follow the supreme commander's commands. Understand? Moreover, I'm not that kind of flower living in a greenhouse. There's no need to be so cautious."
"This..."
"That's settled. I command you with my identity as supreme commander. Now, don't interfere with my next actions. Understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Very good."
After the little Princess issued her speech, she unexpectedly truly had that feeling of having been a commander for a long time. Both the Maid Xiao Xi on the side and the little loli maid Xiyan were extremely shocked.
From when did her Princess actually also have such commanding power?
"Alright, alright. You go down first. I'll wander around here by myself. With Xiao Xi here, you don't need to worry I'll be injured."
The general thought about it. What she said seemed right. With Lady Yu Xi present, there was no need to worry Princess would be injured.
Lady Yu Xi had practiced martial arts since childhood, constantly staying by Princess's side, eliminating hidden dangers around Princess. Although she couldn't become a mage, her own strength was already extremely formidable...
Probably to the degree that sparring with him, she could pin him to the ground and ravage him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for His Majesty the King to personally arrange her beside his most beloved Princess.
"Yes, then please be careful, Princess. Your safety is most important."
"Enough, go down quickly!"
"Yes!"
Finally, after the general left, the little Princess calmed down to carefully appreciate this army belonging solely to her.
This army belonging only to her...
She now already had the ability to do many things, like searching for other transmigrators and such.
"Princess, what do you plan to do next?"
The Maid Xiao Xi asked from the side.
She wasn't stupid. Her family's Princess had asked His Majesty for an army of such scale. She must be going out to do some big thing. She just didn't know how her family's Princess planned it.
"Me? First upgrade the army's equipment."
After all, it was still a small army of 3,000 people. Compared to Scarlet Phoenix Nation's seven great armies, it was completely not worth mentioning. As for numbers, there was no way to increase them. That she, as a princess who almost never went out, could have an army of such quantity was already an exception.
In Glaze Nation's history, there had never been a royal family member who could possess an army while not guarding the frontlines.
"Then Princess, do you plan to provide the army with more advanced weapons and equipment?"
"As for weapons, there's no need. It's mainly in the armor and protective gear aspects."
For weapons, Breech-Loading Rifled Guns were completely fine. Breech-Loading Rifled Guns were already sufficient to stand at the pinnacle of this world's weapons.
"Right, why aren't these soldiers practicing with guns?"
The little Princess raised a question. She'd clearly already released the design diagrams for Breech-Loading Rifled Guns. These weapons were specifically for soldiers to use. But why wasn't her army practicing with guns?
Could it be her cheap Father the King interfered? But this also didn't seem very likely.
"Well, I think it's mainly that the soldiers still don't know how to train?"
"...Are you messing with me?"
The little Princess felt somewhat speechless about this. At the current stage, they clearly only needed to aim at the target, then shoot, and that was sufficient. Why still didn't they know how to train?
Casually finding a few stones and placing them on a table, calling for someone to bring over Breech-Loading Rifled Guns, the little Princess shouted to the people below:
"Anyone who can hit these stones from 100 paces away will be heavily rewarded!"
Before long, soldiers came up one after another to try. Although they didn't shoot particularly accurately, she roughly assessed that there were still some people who could satisfy her.
As long as they continued training like this, she believed it wouldn't take too long before she could have an army with few numbers but extremely formidable strength, right?
Thinking that she was about to have the ability to do and change many things in this world, she appeared very excited...
"Xuan?"
The familiar voice didn't come from her mind. Probably because she was sleeping. However, she didn't pay too much attention to this. Anyway, that little loli Xuan always gave people the feeling of never sleeping enough, constantly sleeping.
She hadn't even entered that church recently...
However, generally speaking, things were already developing in the direction she hoped... She finally had the ability to reverse some things.
As for what to do in the future? Of course, take it step by step. In this muddy and unbearable world, she was no longer that sickly princess without the strength to truss a chicken and no ability to resist...
