Chapter 511: Breaking Through! The Ninety-Ninth Labyrinth

Nearly a thousand ghost ships declared their allegiance!

The sheer awe of this scene was deeply etched into the memories of everyone present.

Decades later, when recounting this event, they would still be captivated, expressing their wholehearted admiration for Charlot Mecklenburg.

After completing his display of power, Charlot immediately issued an order to Yishemierlen to deploy 30,000 ghost sailors ashore for battle.

Countless ghost sailors leaped from the ships, cr...

Li Hao hadn’t expected that this Semi-Saint had been so remarkable in his youth. It confirmed that anyone who could become a Semi-Saint must have been an unparalleled genius in their prime.

This was precisely why adversities grew increasingly difficult—those who could cultivate to such a degree were once capable of defeating enemies across realms, unrivaled and peerless.

If Semi-Saints were already s...

Bian Ruxue immediately used her divine sense to probe the surroundings. When she noticed Li Hao behind the easel, she froze momentarily. Quickly, she remembered that this man was the alchemist who had previously delivered medicine to her.

Him?

Bian Ruxue’s eyes flickered. She studied him for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

If he was truly a mortal like herself, even if he had encountered ...

Chapter 268: The Romance of Steel and Steam

With the addition of soybeans, coupled with Napoleon's invention of the "on-site resupply" model, the French Army's logistics would crush any opponent in Europe.

There is a saying about warfare: "Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics."

Logistics has always been the most critical part of war. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Three Kingdoms, burning the enemy's supplies was a universal tactic.

"Additionally, make more use of the Church's resources," Joseph instructed. "In many cases, the Church's efficiency far surpasses that of our bureaucratic system, and the farmers trust the priests' words more."

Vénio nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Your Highness, the Church contributed significantly to promoting the new composting methods earlier."

Joseph smiled. "We can't let them collect all that tithe ...

Chapter 263: Naval Technical Advisor

The establishment of the new party was something Charles did not involve himself with too much, nor was it appropriate for him to interfere too much. As long as the party called for support from him as its foundation in the future, that was sufficient.

After this matter was settled, Charles turned his attention back to the tank.

He instructed Colonel Estigny not to disclose the "direction of tank development" to ...

Darius was momentarily stunned, then laughed. He glanced at his empty left sleeve and replied with confidence, “I won’t have any higher position, Colonel!”

Charles did not argue further. He asked, calm and steady, “You should be aware of my passive situation in Parliament, right?”

“Of course.” Darius nodded, then angrily cursed, “Those stupid fools, they’re always being manipulated by the capitalis...

Chapter 510: Charlot Mecklenburg's Rule Over Hegelon

Charlot was well aware of the precarious nature of the newly formed West Wind Knight Order. Though it included some Transcendents—such as candidates of the Evil God, General Douma, and a few council members from the port city of Lazaro Cardenas—its internal cohesion was shaky. Most members had little faith in the group, and figures like General Douma and those city council members harbored significant dissatisfaction. After all, they had surrendered their city, only to be...

Chapter 509: The Bilingual Banner and the Evil God’s Equations

Charlot Mecklenburg did not appear, but a new route was discovered. This left Juno Arthur slightly worried about his student. Of course, he wouldn’t rashly set foot on the new route but patiently waited for several days.

One day, as Juno woke from his meditation, he sensed the aura of Yishemierlen. This Evil God descended from the sky and handed him a letter. Charlot, fearing the Evil God might convey the message incorrectly, dared not let Him speak it aloud. Instead, Charlot had deta...

As for whether there were any other secluded Dao Seeker Realm cultivators, it was uncertain. Even if there were, at most, there would only be one or two more.

The six Dao Law Realm cultivators slain earlier in the imperial palace were likely the six inner disciples from the Void Holy Land, all of them prodigies in their realm. Within the inner disciples, they could be considered elites.

Lin Qingying did not wait for Li Hao and Lin Shanhai. She set off for the Sacred Land ahead of them.

She was going to participate as a disciple, gathering with the others for the competition.

Meanwhile, Li Hao and Lin Shanhai took their time packing and only leisurely made their way afterward.

Midway through their flight, they encountered Zhao Yingzhen, dressed in luxurious attire, acco...

Joseph's face lit up with surprise and delight as he approached the machine, an ancient-looking yet futuristic device for its time. He stroked its surface and turned to Louis XVI, exclaiming, “You are undoubtedly the greatest mechanical master in all of France—no, all of Europe!

“You’ve created this marvelous machine perfectly in less than half a year!”

“It’s just a replication,” Louis XVI repli...

Afterward, Joseph hardly paid attention to Fouché's report. There were documents he could review at his leisure later.

Once Fouché left, Joseph stretched as he gazed out at the sunlight streaming through the window.

Reflecting on the past year, his efforts had stabilized the nation's debt, weathered the famine, and improved the lives of the lower classes. The chances of France descending into a large-scale revolution were no...

Chapter 261: A Higher Position

Perhaps it was due to his lack of habit, but after serving at the headquarters for more than half a month, Charles, on his break, only wanted to stay at home and didn’t want to go anywhere.

In the past, whenever he returned during breaks, he would visit the motorcycle factory and the tractor factory, but now, he didn’t feel like moving at all.

He found himself an excuse: Anyway, Djoka would take care of the busines...

Chapter 508: The Evil God Paradox

The battle among the eighteen candidates for the title of Evil God in Mosuli had been raging for months. The stalemate persisted because everyone knew there could only be one victor in the Evil God’s Arena. Trust was nonexistent, leading to a war of extraordinary brutality that had nearly decimated Mosuli’s population. This was the root of the conflict: while Evil Gods required faith, they were utterly indifferent to the survival of their followers, often pushing populations to the brink ...

Chapter 507: The Bug in the Evil God's Arena

Charlot Mecklenburg rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought. The forty-second labyrinth level wasn’t too difficult—it was too simple.

Though he was alone, Charlot believed that with his eighteenth-tier strength, sweeping through all eighteen towns in Mosuli wouldn’t be a challenge.

Still, Charlot couldn’t shake the feeling that Agmirlas was playing tricks on him, and something about this Evil God’s Arena was far from normal. Although he wasn’t entirely familiar wi...

Li Hao did not decline the goodwill gestures sent his way by various parties. As long as their intentions were sincere, he graciously accepted their kindness.

After all, behind these prodigies stood powerful forces. None of them were lone wanderers. A prodigy without background or connections would have long since met a tragic end in some dark alleyway.

The Land of Saints was never s...

In recent days, after chatting frequently with Lin Shanhai and other alchemists, Li Hao gained deeper insights into incense power and matters related to saints.

Incense power cannot be borne by ordinary people; it requires a perfected Dao Body!

Over these days, Li Hao continuously transformed his Dao Force, filling all his apertures and major meridians to capacity. His Dao Body had r...

Dipore glanced at his watch; it was already past 9 p.m.

He hastily interrupted Danton, who was still speaking animatedly, and announced an adjournment of the trial until the following morning.

The Duke of Chartres, who had long lost the ambition he had displayed while waiting to inherit the vast fortune at the trial's outset, reacted as though he had been granted amnesty. Like an unleashed hound, ...

The Duke of Chartres beamed with delight upon hearing the judge’s verdict. Turning around, he shared celebratory nods with his team of lawyers.

The same lawyer, whose face was marked with layers of excess flesh, rose and gave a slight bow to the judge. “Your Honor, I respectfully request that you issue an execution order to lift the freeze on the property of the Duke of Orléans—or rather, the Duke of Chartres, as he now is...

After thinking for a moment, Colonel Estigny answered:
"I understand your point, Colonel!"

"If it were a solo operation, the 'Char A1' might have the advantage. But if the 'Char A1' faces a group of such tanks, it might struggle."

"Moreover, Schneider could improve this tank by adding a rotating turret. At that point, the 'Char A1' would lose all of its advantages."

To put it simply, any tank ...

The discussion was still taking place around the dining table in Djoka's living room. Though humble, the room was absolutely secure. The only outsider present was Camille, who, although there, had no interest in the topic and couldn't understand a word.

It's like when a woman asks a man if her outfit looks good. Typically, men respond with vague words like "It's okay" or "It's fine."

Their concept of "looking good" isn't focused on cloth...

Chapter 506: Manipulating Memories

The new route had yet to appear.
Charlot Mecklenburg was in no particular hurry. Agmirlas had already pushed both Yishemierlen Palace and the Ghost Fleet into play, showing no sign of retreating them. It was clear he had no more cards to play.

Even the evil god was no longer in a rush—so why should Charlot be?

After clearing the thirty-second labyrinth, Charlot's haul included not only a daughter, a legendary warship, over nine hundred ghost ships, and a Mirror Spirit, but al...

Chapter 505: Bringing Home a Few Evil Gods to Live a Domestic Life

Charlot hadn’t even had time to feel “joy” when he heard Emilia’s crisp voice call out, “Daddy! Can I eat this?”

He looked up to see his youngest daughter pointing into the air. Suspended there was Gareth Mecklenburg, his eldest son, thrashing desperately but as helpless as a fish out of water.

Charlot didn’t even have time to think about the newly acquired Demon of the Mirror, hurriedly shouting, “That’s your brother Gareth!”

Emilia gave Gareth a glance ...

Shi Huajin glared at him in frustration. If anyone else had heard those words, they would have been trembling with excitement by now.

"I really don’t know what you’re thinking. Do you expect me to beg you?"

She felt even more exasperated than Li Hao. The alchemical formulas that alchemists treasured as priceless were unattainable to others, yet they had to plead with Li Hao to learn them. They hoped...

These words were meant to make up for Lin Qingying’s earlier suspicions about Li Hao.

Li Hao understood her intention and shook his head slightly. “I have no interest in cultivation.”

Hearing this, Lin Qingying didn’t try to persuade him further. Instead, she became even more convinced that Li Hao had reached his current level by relying on medicinal pills. After all, during this time, while she h...

“The Dey's position is that the lands west of the Tlemcen Fortress can be exchanged and granted to the Great Sultan,” said Rume Zaganos, envoy of Sükri Ali Touus, speaking with as much firmness as he could muster. “But Valcenis is absolutely non-negotiable.”

The Tlemcen Fortress he referred to was already near the border between Morocco and Algiers, a good hundred kilometers less than the Valcenis territory proposed by the Bri...

The officers in the room lit up with joy upon hearing the news.

Previously, the matters of the General Staff were beyond most of their understanding, and many had dismissed it as merely a means for the Crown Prince to consolidate military power. Consequently, they felt little emotional investment in the announcement.

However, the honor and significance of the royal title bestowed upon their corps were univer...

Hearing the murmurs behind her, Lin Qingying frowned slightly. She disliked being disturbed while practicing swordsmanship, especially by an outsider.

However, she didn’t turn around immediately. Instead, she held her sword and lowered her gaze, reflecting on and savoring the sword technique she had just executed.

She cultivated the Supreme Soft Sword Intent. The essence of "soft" lay in "supreme," mean...

There are numerous forms of chess: Gobang, Chinese Chess, and more.

The game of Go, played by Li Hao, is also known as zuoyin, shou tan, and yi.

On the chessboard, vertical and horizontal lines intersect to form a grid. Stones are placed on the intersections, and when they connect, they form a structure. This is the layout of the chessboard.
