Chapter 308: The Demonflame Horse

Charlot Mecklenburg engaged in a fierce battle with Chloe Hadrian, their duel extending to hundreds of exchanges. Suddenly, Charlot withdrew dozens of steps, driving the Berserker Blade into the ground. The Stardust Battle Energy receded like a tide, retreating into the nine Blood Vortices, transforming once more into Blood Glory.

Chloe thrust forward with his spear at a lightning-fast speed, paying no heed to the retreat.

Charlot hurled a Vampiric Hand Axe!

This weapon had ...

Chapter 307: The Top Fighters of the Five Empires

The golden ram Herolf's spear technique surged upward with the force of a crashing wave, locking onto Andreas. The youngest Saint of the Black Phoenix Dynasty found his spirit, consciousness, and even the energy of his combat style completely suppressed.

Though Charlot Mecklenburg had witnessed countless battles among Saints, he couldn't help but applaud. "The old ram actually has some tricks up his sleeve!"

Charlot had seen Herolf fight before, but those instances were always und...

Chapter 64: The Eden Treaty

For the first task, Hartley had already begun preparations long ago. The current instructions from London were merely to dispatch more personnel to investigate the political tendencies of the Crown Prince of France.

Hartley deduced from the Crown Prince’s opposition to naval expansion that he was at least not openly hostile toward Britain. Thus, establishing relations with him could be arranged without delay.

It was sai...

"Another matter: not long ago, Ravelle Bank and Laborde Bank suddenly decided to terminate their long-standing loan agreements with the government. It nearly caused a national debt default."

Joseph turned to Fouché. "These banks would only forgo profits for a compelling reason. I need to know what drove them to such a decision."

Fouché immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness. I will...

Chapter 306: Saint Rank! No Wonder Chloe Urged Me to Flee

Charlot Mecklenburg pointed at Chloe Hadrian and roared heroically, "A defeated foe has come to court death once again!"

Chloe dismissed all distractions and shouted back, "Who's the one scrambling like a rat after getting beaten a few times?"

Standing beside Charlot was a quick-witted assistant clerk, quietly feeding him lines. After all, Chloe had been stationed on the frontlines, while Charlot had just returned. Without accurate "battle reports," it would be easy for him to mis...

Chapter 305: The Imperial Rose Fleet

High Priest Auguslatin said calmly, “Saint Michael Island has been captured.”

“Since the era of the ancient Saint Michael Kingdom, no one has ever directly conquered this island city.”

Charlot Mecklenburg replied, “Oh, so stripping the old goat bare doesn’t count as an accomplishment?”

Herolf, the Golden Ram, trembled more violently at the toes.

High Priest Auguslatin smiled faintly and said, “You could say so.”

Herolf inwardly cursed his ill fo...

The next day.

Many nobles of the Palace of Versailles received invitations to attend a small soirée that evening. The hostess was the Duchess of Villars.

No one declined, even though they had just danced through an entire night. Attending month-long strings of parties was commonplace for them. However, a ball hosted by the Duchess of Villars was a rare event.

The financial troubles of the Duke of Vill...

Joseph strode quickly to the southern wing of the Palace of Versailles, ascended to the second floor, navigated through a narrow corridor, and finally found the room written on the note.

He pushed the door gently. It wasn’t locked, so he stepped inside without hesitation.

“You’re here?” A lazy woman’s voice drifted from what seemed to be the bedroom. “Please close the door.”

Equipping the rockets was not difficult. It only required securing the selected rockets to the vertical struts between the wings, a process that was completed in just over half an hour.

The real challenge lay in ignition.

“How are we supposed to ignite them?” Major Fischer raised the question again, perhaps due to his usual role in managing airport operations. He instinctively considered whether any part of the process m...

Major Fischer was the first to notice the issue. He cautiously looked at Charles, uncertainty flickering in his gaze. “Sir, if the rockets are mounted on the vertical struts of a biplane, does that mean... only biplanes can carry them?”

“Yes!” Charles nodded.

Only biplanes had vertical struts. Monoplanes, on the other hand, lacked the space and relied heavily on linen for skinning, which made them prone t...

Charlot said, “I didn’t expect you to also be a philosopher!”

Herolf, the Golden Ram, sensed a slight unease but quickly reassured himself by recalling the successfully established magic contract. Laughing loudly, he replied, “And I didn’t expect you to remain so composed even when death is upon you.”

Charlot asked, “What about my Queen Bee?”

“If you return it, I might consider sparing your life.”

Charlot sighed helplessly. “Mr. Herolf, t...

Suppressing the urge to crush Charlot Mecklenburg on the spot, he asked, “You lost the magical contract?”

Charlot nodded honestly, his demeanor as sincere as that of a devoted "teacher" by profession.

Golden Goat Herolf cursed his inability to use Vampiric Secret Arts to drag this despicable scoundrel out and subject him to the cruelest tortures. Restraining his anger, he said, “Do you think magica...

The flight squadron was exceptionally rudimentary; they didn’t even have a proper operations room. Meetings had to be held in Major Fischer’s office.

Chapter 302: Apologies, Mr. Herolf

The Golden Ram, Herolf, said, "Sign this contract, and I’ll tell you what to do next!"

He was confident that Charlot Mecklenburg would sign the contract.

Charlot pondered for a long time before replying, "I need a few more days to think about it."

Taking the magical contract book, Charlot turned and left, exiting the presence of the mirror.

Herolf was on the verge of collapse. He had never imagined Charlot would pull such a move!

Charlot Mecklenburg's first reaction to the task was: Why not just kill them all?

But he quickly realized that such a plan was impractical.

Slaughtering prisoners had always been considered ominous throughout history. Particularly now—Menielman and his West Wind Knight Order had already accepted the surrender of too many pirates. Executing them all at once would scatter the morale of those who had previously surrendered.

Absorbing all of them was also out of the q...
