Chapter 258: Rocket Propellant Formulation

In the end, under General Winter's fawning "pleading" and "bargaining," Charles reluctantly agreed to authorize production at a unit price of 50,000 francs.

To General Winter, this price seemed reasonable, especially since it was 20,000 francs cheaper than what the Russians had to pay. Moreover, Charles had originally not planned to sell, but not only had he agreed, he even offered a discount. This meant that Win...

Chapter 257: Professional at Killing Familiarity

The British sent General Winter to negotiate with Charles. Perhaps they believed that General Winter, being an old acquaintance of Charles, would make bargaining easier.

Charles guessed that at this moment, the British probably had no idea what the term "killing familiarity" meant.

General Winter was very confident about this and directly went to Charles's office.

He believed that inviting Charl...

Chapter 504: Daddy, Can I Rename This Palace to Emilia’s Palace?

Eumibella embraced Charlot with both hands, sending a shiver down his spine. His mind was instantly flooded with countless thoughts—some fervent, some gentle, some sacred, others steeped in malevolence, and still others laced with an indescribable obscurity...

The torrent of these thoughts nearly caused Charlot's head to explode.

At the same time, he felt his life force, soul, consciousness, memories, and even all the secret arts he had cultivated over his lifetime being siphone...

Chapter 503: The Serpent of Fate Can't Count

Charlot prayed five or six times, initially thinking his pleas might go unanswered. Suddenly, a formula appeared before him!

The formula was a mess—a simple string of addition and subtraction calculations, yet it managed to contain over a dozen errors.

Then, Charlot heard the familiar voice of a young boy, who said, "Help me figure this out. How much joy of fate do you currently have?"

Charlot was stunned for a moment before he understood. The Serpent of Fate wasn’t igno...

Chapter 260: The Royal Guard Corps

Joseph recalled that, historically, the Duke of Orléans had been sent to the guillotine by the Jacobin Club.

It was unexpected that a prominent member of the Jacobin Club was now assisting his son in a legal case. The irony of it all was difficult to ignore.

Desmoulins praised him again: “You… you are so re… renowned in the legal field. A case this big, and they still… still turned to you for the defense.”

Chapter 259: Teacher Robespierre vs. Teacher Robespierre

The policeman, hearing that Robespierre's name contained "de," indicating his status as a minor noble, adjusted his tone to sound slightly more polite. "Excuse me, sir, do you have a permit to give a speech here?"

According to current regulations, holding public speeches in crowded places required prior approval.

Of course, no one usually paid attention to this rule, but if a policeman caught someone in the ac...

Chapter 256: Military Industrial Means

Tonight, the second chapter will be delayed for a bit. I just got home at 8 PM after returning from a trip. Tomorrow, I will return to the regular three updates! I apologize for the delay and thank you all for your patience!

Charles' proposal was quickly passed unanimously by both the British and French parliaments.

This was somewhat unusual.

Whether it was Britain or France, the parliaments of ...

Chapter 502: A War of Evil God Proportions

Charlot asked, "Even if this plan is feasible, how am I supposed to send Eumibella up there?"

Juno was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Why not ask Eumibella herself?"

Charlot suddenly lost the desire to engage with his teacher.

Ask her? Seriously?

And ask such an offensive question to an Evil God? Eumibella was far from benevolent. If provoked, she might just devour him on the spot.

Although Charlot still couldn't understand why Eumibella saw him...

Chapter 501: Send Eumibella to Yishemierlen Palace to Have a Child

Charlot Mecklenburg had no intention of letting Yishemierlen Palace fully recover. Commanding his ghost fleet, he maneuvered to intercept the ghost ships under the control of Yishemierlen Palace.

This time, however, the ghost ships controlled by Yishemierlen Palace demonstrated a cooperative stance. At times, when Charlot pursued a specific ship, ghostly crew members would even jump overboard to save him the trouble of a prolonged chase.

Despite these efforts, Charlot could not en...

Chapter 258: The Incorruptible

The second floor of the Palace of Versailles.

Thunderous shouts from the square below reached the Office of the Minister of Industry:
“Those wretches murdered Count Morneau! They must be tried immediately!”
“No trial is necessary—hang them at once!”
“Yes, hang them! Every one of them!”
“Thanks to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, it was his police who apprehended these murderers...”
“All praise to His H...

Chapter 257: The Scapegoat

Yes, the lives of the farmers would improve.

This was precisely Joseph’s goal.

Whether it was a minor uprising or a major revolution, they all stemmed from dissatisfaction with life.

Improve the quality of life for the common people, and they wouldn’t care whether you were a king or the National Assembly—they would support you wholeheartedly. Anyone who dared to disrupt the nation would find themselves the target of their dis...

Chapter 255: Sharing Costs

Charles provided a complete aerial warfare system.

First, fighter planes armed with machine guns were used to fight for air supremacy.

Once air superiority was achieved, reconnaissance planes could fly freely above enemy lines. They could conveniently and swiftly gather real-time intelligence on the enemy's movements—information that would otherwise require heavy losses to obtain from the ground. A reconnaissance plane c...

Chapter 254: Air Combat System

Following this, the bombers were once again sent out to destroy another German artillery position.

The pilots hardly had any rest. After landing, they quickly checked their planes, reloaded the bombs, and topped up the fuel before taking off again.

Carter was somewhat concerned about their exhaustion and suggested they rest for a while, but the pilots carelessly replied:

"This is nothing, Major, it's almost like ...

Chapter 500: The Three Transformations of the Radiant Holy Kingdom

Having amassed over two hundred ghost ships, Charlot Mecklenburg could occasionally take a breather, sacrificing a dozen or so ships to buy himself some respite. He had long suspected that something beneath the sea was aiding him, but amidst the intensity of battle, he had no time to investigate.

With his strength recovered to seventy or eighty percent, Charlot once again wielded the Flaming Lance. Letting out a roar, he dove back into combat.

Charlot’s ability to grow increasin...

Chapter 499: A Battle to the Death

Charlot parted ways with the fleet. While the fleet opted for the Ferdinand Route, he chose the Christopher Route!

Ordinary warships could not be managed single-handedly, but the Radiant Holy Kingdom was no ordinary vessel. It didn't even require human operation.

Of course, the ship wasn’t entirely devoid of life. Onboard were labyrinth guards, Blood Thralls, and wriggling demons, among other malevolent beings. These entities could function as crew, although they weren’t as sk...

Chapter 256: Everyone, Stop the Riots and Dance!

Early in the morning, the citizens of Nice gathered in a square on the southern side of the city, preparing to start another round of "18th-century zero-cost shopping," as they had done recently.

However, some quickly noticed the posters plastered everywhere—on most doors, even—but given the literacy rate in Nice, which was far below that of Paris, many simply hadn't bothered to look at them.

A diligent student fr...

Chapter 255: The Contribution of the Duke of Orléans

Trianon Palace.

Queen Marie sighed heavily, her face etched with sorrow:
"This is nothing short of a disaster. Even someone as esteemed as the Duke of Orléans has been murdered by those mobs..."

Joseph pushed a strawberry cake toward her.
"In truth, he committed treason."

The Queen gestured toward the musicians seated near the door.
"Mozart’s new piece, the Sonata in A Minor, please." 2025-06-11 19:05:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 253: The Menace of Bombers

At this time, bombing missions were not as simple as imagined; they lacked navigation, radar, and even radio communication.

The pilots had only a map, a compass, and a ruler to rely on.

Thus, even if they knew the exact location of the target, and could even visually locate it, accurately bombing it remained difficult.

The bomber squadron could easily veer off course during flight. Initially, it might only be...

Chapter 252: The Intelligence of "The Lady in White"

At 5:30 p.m., Charles walked alone into the officers' club.

Lucia had told Charles that this was her shift change time, and the club was relatively empty at 5:30. The officers' habit was to have dinner, take a bath, and freshen up before gathering around 6:00 p.m. for a drink.

Thus, this time was ideal for them to meet and exchange information.

Lucia, who had just started her shift, was wipi...

Chapter 498: No One’s Fate Is Immutable, Everyone Has a Chance to Change the Future

The residents of this new Aegean Island reacted no differently than before!

Some jumped onto boats to flee into the distance; others organized themselves in preparation to resist. However, the majority hid away, leaving the entire port eerily desolate.

Temple Robin, gazing at the distant Aegean Island, felt his hands grow cold as he shouted, “That’s not the Aegean Island! That’s absolutely not the Aegean Island.”

Disregarding everything, he soared into the air, flyin...

Chapter 497: The Cyclical Labyrinth of Aegean Island

The Ancient Gomodoro Tree stood tall at the prow of the Radiant Holy Kingdom, its roots embedded into a Radiant Magic Array.

Charlot Mecklenburg had always been curious about the nature of this magical array. However, each time he approached, the Whispers of Fate would warn him off, and so he refrained from further investigation. But after the tree took root, Charlot noticed that the whispers ceased whenever he drew closer. Even so, he dared not venture further, for he had come to reali...

Chapter 254: Aftermath

At present, the distinguished figures attending the nobles’ conference were consumed with anxiety, their bloodshot eyes betraying their urgency as they pressed the military to quickly quell the local riots. In their desperation, no one had the time to care about the “Abolition of Privileges Act.”

Without the leadership of these prominent nobles, other aristocrats who sought to preserve their privileges were no match for the abolitionists, who ...

Chapter 253: Eliminating the Nation's Traitor

The floor-to-ceiling window and frame on the western side of the villa's second floor were gone, leaving half the wall collapsed. Jagged red bricks jutted out from the debris, while the hallway on the other side was filled with dust and blood. A hole had been blasted through the ceiling, its exact trajectory a mystery.

Outside, the citizens roared with a tsunami of cheers. The temporary artillerymen felt as if they had persona...

Chapter 251: The List

Charles leaned in a little closer and lowered his voice to ask, "What is the name of your organization?"

He wanted to confirm further.

Lucia hesitated, her face showing some uncertainty. "You wouldn't know it. It was just established recently, with only about thirty members!"

Charles said nothing, simply watching Lucia quietly.

"Alright!" Lucia responded helplessly. "We were originally called 'Michelin Station,' but...

Chapter 496: Tonystark Town's Labyrinth Transformation

After the Mecklenburg fleet’s quartermaster conducted a round of purchases on the island, the residents of Aegean Island finally calmed down. After all, those willing to spend money on purchases were generally less intimidating.

The truly frightening ones were those who didn’t spend money.

And even more terrifying were those who neither spent money nor wanted to buy anything at all.

Charlot, accompanied by Andreas and Argon, wandered around the port for a while. The natu...

Chapter 495: Charlot Forced to Use a False Identity

Charlot Mecklenburg never anticipated that his fleet’s arrival would cause such an uproar on Aegean Island. Watching the frantic exodus of ships from the harbor, he found himself at a loss for words.

It wasn’t really his fault. Back in the Fars Empire, Charlot had always held an official title. Now, as the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, merely raising the banner of the Mecklenburg family was enough to make his presence unmistakable as one of the Empire’s rising stars.

Charlot’...

"Thank the Lord!"

Fouché leapt out of the carriage, his mind flashing back to the last words the Crown Prince had said to him before he left Paris:

"Yes, the most glorious moment!" He licked his lips, like a beast about to savor its prey.

Striding toward the wooden cabin, he turned to ask the nearby officer from the Bureau of ...

“What nonsense are you spouting?” The Duke of Duroc’s estate steward looked arrogantly at the scar-faced man. “The Duke knows nothing about any reserve grain!”

“This is the Duke’s domain. You’d better leave now, or wait until the army comes and arrests you all!”

A nearby officer from the Bureau of Public Safety immediately turned to the crowd and shouted:

Lucia poured herself a glass of cocktail, holding it delicately with two long fingers. She lightly stepped around the bar and walked over to Charles, leaning casually against the table. There was an alluring charm in her natural grace as she raised her glass, smiling at Charles: "Colonel, regarding your offer to cover all expenses, does that include my drink?"

"Of course!" Charles replied.

The officers around them burs...

Chapter 249: The Legion of Honour

Charles had indeed been very busy recently; he hadn’t had a single day off since Christmas.

The reason was that the air combat situation at the front was uncertain. Air battles often occurred suddenly and lasted only a short time. If Charles took time off at home, by the time he received the notification and made his way to the command post, the battle might already be over.

Charles occasionally mentioned this to ...
