Chapter 520 (End) The Imperial Princess and the Rebel Leader 33
Yes, the old Duke had formally made a will before his death. Princess Cecil, as his new wife, has the absolute legitimacy to inherit the Duke's Palace and the First Legion.
What qualifications do they have to stop
unless……
She is dead.
A ruthless gleam flashed in the eyes of the Duke's eldest son.
He glanced at where Cha Jiu was standing, very close to the device that the old duke had set up to prevent assassins from approaching the bed. As long as he pressed the switch, countless laser beams would shoot out from nearby, cutting Cha Jiu into pieces.
He hid behind several ladies and quietly approached the switch...
"Brother, don't go there anymore. Be careful not to accidentally touch the agency that strangles assassins." The Duke's second son Allen "kindly" reminded.
His smile was gentle and easy-going, as if he was really a good brother who cared about his brother.
The Duke's eldest son froze for a moment, then quickened his pace toward the trigger switch.
Lance moved faster, instantly moving to his side and kicking him away. He crashed into a pillar more than ten meters away, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
Cha Jiu stood with a fan in his hand, his elegant smile showing helplessness: "I just want to live in peace with everyone, please don't make things difficult for me."
The female relatives looked at Cha Jiu, who looked like a smiling tiger, and then looked at the eldest son of the Duke, whose face turned purple and eyes were bloodshot as he was pinched in mid-air by Lance. They shrank back in tears and dared not say a word.
The rest of the Duke's children lowered their eyes, their thoughts unclear.
Only Allen took the lead in greeting Cha Jiu: "From now on, the Duke's Mansion will rely on the leadership of His Highness Sirius."
He expressed his submission.
Anyway, he is the most humble and least favored son in the Duke's house. No matter who succeeds, he will not be the one to succeed. Why not just please the new master?
And he had a very strong premonition.
Her Highness Sirius is an extraordinary person, and there is no harm in trying to please her.
Cha Jiu was very satisfied with Allen's attitude towards current affairs, and immediately handed over the Duke's funeral arrangements and the matter of pacifying the legion to him.
Ellen accepted the order with joy.
When he stood in the front and led the crowd of doubters out of the Duke's room, everyone in the mansion was keenly aware of his change in status and became much more polite to him.
That's the benefit of power.
Lance wiped the hand that he had pinched and walked back to Cha Jiu.
Seeing him still holding onto Carlos, Cha Jiu couldn't help but say, "The Duke is dead. You can change back to your own face and stay with me in the future."
Otherwise, it would be weird to always see two Carlos.
Lance agreed and changed his face back.
A face with sharp edges, deep features, handsome yet wild appeared in front of Cha Jiu.
His eyebrows are as sharp as swords, his deep black pupils are glowing with a faint light, and he has the power to capture people's hearts.
This is the real Lance.
Unruly and wild, like a beast that is difficult to tame.
...Except when I'm worried and anxious in front of Cha Jiu.
Cha Jiu nodded: "It's much better than the ordinary face before."
Carlos, who was lying on the bed pretending to be the Duke: "..."
Everyone in the room had left. Carlos sat up from the bed, removed the disguise device, and revealed his "ordinary" face.
He said expressionlessly, "The First Legion is not as easy to fool as those people in the backyard. They value strength over power. Even if you hold the Duke's will, if you cannot convince them, it will be difficult for you to take over the legion."
Cha Jiu smiled faintly: "What kind of strength is required?"
Carlos was about to speak, but was shocked by her next words.
"Is it powerful enough to devour a planet?" she asked.
At this moment, a white and soft little guinea pig came out from under her skirt and acted coquettishly towards Cha Jiu.
Carlos looked at it, his eyes widening slowly: "This is..."
Cha Jiu picked up Pang Pang and heard him say coquettishly: Mom, my guinea pig snacks are gone!
Cha Jiu smiled and said softly, "Go find Anthony. She has a lot of them."
Hearing Anthony's name, Fatty shrank his head.
never mind.
If I go find that woman, I might not get any snacks, and I might even be roasted into a worm pupa as her snack...
Lance couldn't stand the way it rubbed against Cha Jiu's chest, so he pinched the back of its neck and threw it aside.
"Ji!" Pangpang bared his teeth at him and rushed towards Chajiu again.
One man and one bug started a round-based game.
Carlos didn't expect that Cha Jiu would have a ghost-faced moth king larva in his hand.
If this larva grows up and is used by Cha Jiu, it means that she will have more powerful power than an entire legion...
At this time, Carlos didn't know that Cha Jiu had already tamed an adult female Ghost-faced Moth King, otherwise he would have been even more surprised.
…
Whenever there is a change of leadership in the military, a serious military parade is held.
This is not only to allow soldiers to see clearly who will lead them in the future, but also to express support and respect for the new leader.
However, when Cha Jiu officially took over the army and held a military parade, the audience was empty.
The soldiers of the First Legion obviously did not accept a weak woman as their leader, so they collectively broke their promise to show their protest.
Cha Jiu was not panicked by the scene.
She turned to Allen and asked, "What is the current monthly salary of soldiers?"
Allen answered truthfully: "The First Legion pays on an annual basis. The lowest-ranking soldier gets 100,000 star coins per year, and the next rank up gets an additional 10,000 star coins. This year's annual salary was paid out in one lump sum at the beginning of the year."
An annual salary of 100,000 star coins is considered the highest among all legions, and it is only because the Wilbermer family owns more than a dozen mineral resources that they can afford such a generous military training system.
Lance thought about the people under his command, all of them were tall and strong men, and each of them had a piece of black bread every day, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
After hearing Allen's answer, Cha Jiu nodded.
"Then pass on my order. From now on, the soldiers who arrive here within one minute will have their annual salary doubled. Those who arrive within three minutes will have their salary doubled. As for those who arrive within three minutes, let them return their annual salary and go home."
He took the money but still got angry
She is not used to this bad habit.
Carlos expressed his doubts: "These soldiers are not afraid of death, and even take it as an honor to die on the battlefield. Would they be afraid of being deducted from their wages?"
Before Cha Jiu opened her mouth, Lance on the side said, "You talk too much. If you don't understand, just watch quietly and don't keep asking why."
He never had a good impression of this lunatic who tried to hurt Cha Jiu many times.
Carlos raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "You understand"
Lance looked away and said calmly, "I don't understand, but I know there must be a reason why Your Highness did this."
Carlos: “…”
I'm going to vomit.
I really don't want to talk to my love brain.
Allen did as Cha Jiu instructed and issued the order to deduct wages.
At first, these soldiers did not take Cha Jiu's threat seriously.
One minute later, their families called one after another, anxiously asking why the star coins in their accounts had suddenly frozen. Only then did they realize that the young Duchess had really taken over the financial power of the Duke's Mansion and was able to ask them to return their annual salary.
If the annual salary is really taken back, what will their parents, wives and children eat and drink?
They couldn't even afford the starship fees to leave Alpha.
What is more terrifying than death is that the whole family falls into poverty with no food to eat.
With only twenty seconds left in the stipulated three minutes, most of the soldiers no longer paid attention to the commander's loud orders and rushed to the parade ground.
A small number of wealthy noblemen had no choice but to go along so as not to stand out.
The final headcount showed the attendance rate was 90 percent.
Cha Jiu immediately ordered Allen: "Expel all the 10% of latecomers from the Corps. Not only will their salaries for this year be taken back, but also the salaries for previous years that did not meet the target."
Allen looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid many people can't afford to recover many years of salary all at once."
Cha Jiu said calmly: "Then confiscate all their property, and send those who are insolvent to Gamma Planet to dig spices."
The people below the parade stand couldn't help but feel lucky that they arrived in time.
Those who were late heard of this punishment and either begged or cursed, but the final result could not be changed, which was that they were stripped of their weapons and armor and thrown into the Gamma Star Rainforest along with their families.
Those who arrived one minute earlier also received the message that double their annual salary had been deposited into their accounts on the spot, and they were delighted.
Those soldiers who procrastinated until the last minute and missed the opportunity for a pay raise were jealous and regretful.
It will come eventually anyway, it would be great if I could get there in the first minute and get double my annual salary!
Although they didn't lose anything.
But not being able to get what they were so close to having is enough to make them fall into deep self-blame and regret.
Allen looked at the soldiers below the stage with different expressions. Some were happy, some were annoyed, some were sad and angry... But without exception, all of their emotions were unconsciously controlled by Cha Jiu with just one command.
He couldn't help but look at the elegant and beautiful back.
For the first time in my life, I feel that women should not be underestimated.
Financial threats only result in submission, and Cha Jiu knows this very well.
She looked at the people in the audience with contemptuous eyes, and spoke slowly in a loud voice: "I have royal blood, and I have the legal identity and documents of the First Legion. I have the right to ask you to be loyal to me. But I know you are not convinced, so I swear here today that whoever can beat me in a duel, I will give up my position as the leader of the First Legion. How about it?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.
Allen never expected that just when he was praising Cha Jiu for her intelligence, she would give up half of her leadership position that was set in stone.
She is a girl, and I heard that her mental power is only B-level. How can she beat the strong men in the military camp?
Thinking of this, he shook his head regretfully.
I thought I had found a wise leader, but I turned out to be too young and impulsive.
Lance was also anxious. He walked over to her and gently advised her, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, how can you fight? Let me go."
He wished he could stand in front of Cha Jiu whenever danger came.
Cha Jiu turned her head to look at him, her eyes soft: "If I want to be in that position, I can't always hide behind you. Don't worry, I know my limits."
Lance was still uneasy: "But..."
Cha Jiu blinked at him and smiled lightly: "Didn't you say, 'Your Highness must have a reason for doing this?'"
Lance was left speechless by what he had said.
Carlos watched him with a smug look on his face.
How interesting! The love brain was stabbed by its own boomerang...
Cha Jiu's mental strength has not yet fully recovered, so he proposed that the duel be conducted in the form of close combat without the use of weapons.
The legion soldiers were of course happy to accept it.
Everyone knows that Princess Silis has a legendary mecha in her hands, and they will definitely not be able to win by relying on the equipment.
Close combat relies more on one's own strength and agility, which is more advantageous for these strong men in the barracks.
Cha Jiu jumped off the platform and walked towards the first soldier who came to fight.
The other party was eager to try, and said sarcastically: "Duchess, if I accidentally hurt you, will my annual salary be deducted?"
There were some unkind laughs from the onlookers.
Cha Jiu looked calm: "If you can hurt me, not only will there be no punishment, I will also reward you with gold."
What a big tone!
The soldier lowered his gaze, cracked his fingers, and walked into the duel circle.
He was two meters tall, almost two or three times bigger than Cha Jiu, and every muscle in his body was as terrifying as a protruding boulder.
Cha Jiu was calm, closed his eyes, and began to practice the "Qing Xu Jue" technique that he had practiced in the martial arts world.
The system opened its mouth into an O shape: "I didn't expect you to remember this."
Cha Jiu responded calmly: "I have never forgotten every world I have experienced after being bound to the childbearing system."
Those skills learned, and those people and things.
The soldier saw that she closed her eyes and stood still, thinking that she was too scared to look, and he became even more confident and raised his huge fist to hit her...
As a result, the next second, before he could react, his fist was grabbed and the scene in front of him was spinning.
Then he heard a loud "bang" and was thrown out of the duel circle.
Soldier:""
What happened
It was too fast, he couldn't see it clearly!
However, Cha Jiu had already dusted off his hands and said calmly, "Next."
Everyone was stunned.
They didn't see the whole process clearly, they just saw Cha Jiu throw his opponent away without even moving.
However, they quickly concluded that the first challenger was defeated by Cha Jiu because he underestimated his opponent or was distracted.
After all, how powerful can a cute princess be?
"I'll do it!"
A strong lieutenant pushed through the crowd and walked towards Cha Jiu.
He is a master fighter in the army, proficient in all kinds of close combat techniques. Almost no one in the army can last more than three moves under his hands.
Cha Jiu motioned for him to take action.
The lieutenant was not polite either. He rushed towards Cha Jiu with his agile body like a cheetah.
Cha Jiu remained in his position, clamping his attacking iron hand with just two fingers, and lightly tapped a few spots on his arm.
At first, the lieutenant didn't take it seriously, and even thought it was a teasing tactic of Cha Jiu, and his eyes were even more disdainful. But soon, he noticed that the arm began to go numb and gradually lost consciousness.
His arm is broken!
The lieutenant was in disbelief, his eyes filled with panic.
In fact, he was not disabled, but Cha Jiu pressed several acupuncture points on his body, which caused his blood circulation to be temporarily blocked and he lost his perception.
Acupressure is also the medical knowledge she learned in her previous small world.
The system watched her effortlessly numb the lieutenant's remaining arms and legs, and saw him kneeling on the ground helplessly in surrender. The system couldn't help but turn into a tea blower and sigh.
"Other people's hosts are strong, but my host is just pretending."
Really show off!
