Transmigrating to the Middle Ages with Ten Thousand Elite Soldiers from the Start

You transmigrate.

You transmigrate to the dark Middle Ages, becoming a little count from a family that used to be wealthy. Your superficial knowledge of Paradox history tells you that in a few decades, the neighboring King of France will gloriously wipe out your entire family. Even if you somehow manage to prolong the line by one generation, the likely end is extinction in obscurity.

But you have a golden finger.

Your System tells you that you command ten thousand elite soldiers who are unconditionally loyal, need no supplies, and automatically replace any losses. With those ten thousand soldiers, you can kick England, punch France, take on Germany, and march on Italy. Build prestige and piety to redeem points, and you can unlock loading saves, saving the game, and directly modifying this world's underlying rules. In this family simulation game, as long as your family has even one living member, you are an unchallengeable Supreme God.

So, girl, look at the map of Europe and choose the first little target you want to swallow. Who will it be?

A fantasy Middle Ages with a hybrid CK2 and CK3 system. Don't worry if you haven't played Paradox games, as the mechanics will be explained in detail. It starts from the 1066 scenario, as the Count of Vermandois from the Carolingian dynasty. This is a super-crossover work combining the author's years immersed in Paradox games with bizarre stories, strange plot developments, brilliant plays, and great evil.

The heroine will play each successive family heir, starting as the first-generation count, in accordance with the laws of inheritance. Many unexpected events may occur along the way. Historical figures such as William the Conqueror, Philip I, Henry IV, and Matilda of Tuscany will appear at the start, but from the second instance onward, the story will have little to do with real history.

It's tagged as romance because the heroine needs to marry and have children with game characters for mechanical reasons, and she will have some feelings for certain spouses. But at heart, she remains a fourth-dimensional disaster, and will never feel genuine love for any of her spouses.

After completion, the title will be changed to The Ambitions of the Carolingians.
