Chapter 494: Breakthrough! The Fourth Labyrinth

"Get lost!"

Facing the enraged leader of the gigantic spider monsters, Charlot Mecklenburg smiled faintly. He had no real intention of learning the creature’s name anyway and closed his diary.

He let out a long sigh before heading off to the lairs of the other seven monsters.

Charlot had an overwhelming arsenal of techniques at his disposal, yet, perhaps due to personal habit or some unyielding resolve, he preferred traditional combat methods. However, when tradition could...

Chapter 493: Sometimes, Even I Fear Myself

Charlot Mecklenburg was somewhat surprised and exclaimed, "You can talk?"

A piercing, shrill voice replied, "I am an eighteenth-rank Transcendent creature."

Charlot nodded thoughtfully. An eighteenth-rank Transcendent creature was roughly equivalent to the legendary demons of the Eastern nations, beings that had cultivated intelligence over two to three centuries. It wasn’t surprising that it could speak.

After some contemplation, Charlot said, "I don’t have to resort to...

Chapter 250: The Bloodline Talent of the People from the Old Region

"Hmph, what an ill-mannered woman!"

Queen Marie Antoinette slammed her silver spoon onto the table, chewing furiously on her cherry frosted cake. Even her favorite dessert no longer tasted sweet.

Her good mood from chatting with the Duke of Artois at noon had completely dissipated after a visit from Madame Adelaide.

The queen muttered angrily under her breath:
"Hmph! That old spinster of a ...

Chapter 249: Offending the Crown Prince—Do You Still Want to Escape?

Count Mirabeau walked briskly into the Crown Prince's study, handing his hat to Eymond before bowing respectfully to Joseph. “Your Highness, from yesterday until half an hour ago, 41 individuals have either written to Her Majesty the Queen or sought an audience to oppose the proposal to abolish noble privileges.”

As he spoke, he handed over a list. “Most of them are influential grandees.”

Chapter 248: The Air Corps

The task of incorporating the army’s airplanes and pilots wasn’t as simple as Gallieni had imagined. He thought that once he nodded, Joffre would immediately take over.

The reality was the opposite of what he expected. Gallieni repeatedly declined:
“I am very sorry, Commander-in-Chief. We are already stretched thin managing our own flying unit, and we simply cannot take on so many additional airplanes and pilots. This i...

Chapter 247: The Foolish People

The results of the bombing could not be conclusively determined.

This was because the bomber pilots could only drop bombs and then view the bombed scene from a distance in the sky, unable to know exactly how many planes were destroyed or how many enemy pilots were killed.

But there was no doubt that France had regained control of the skies over the frontline... The once formidable German Air Force suddenly vanished, r...

Chapter 492: Charlot’s Full Combat Form

6736/26942!

Charlot glanced at the progress indicator, still feeling an overwhelming sense of endlessness.

He muttered to himself, “Why does it feel like there’s no end to this slaughter?”

The prolonged battles left Charlot with a slight mental fatigue. He became quieter, and his combat moves grew more straightforward and efficient. The intricate techniques he once used had become direct and brutal. Yet these skills, honed through blood and fire, embodied the principle...

Chapter 491: The Third Magic Contract Scroll

This discovery made Charlot Mecklenburg even more certain that the current Zimourman Axel Robin was no longer human but something far beyond that—Him!

After slaying three Icebound Undead Knights, Charlot hurried back to find Zimourman still engaged in combat with an advanced mid-tier Icebound Undead Knight.

Despite being outclassed by at least three tiers, Zimourman showed no sign of faltering in his fight.

Upon arriving, Charlot immediately hurled his double-handed battle...

Chapter 248: Deciding Discourse Power Through Turmoil

The Duke of Duroc's nephew, Roul, slammed the armrest of his chair and glared at the dejected nobles before him. “Complaining here won’t solve anything!”

Pointing towards the square outside where the reformist nobles were gathered, he continued, “We can’t allow those people to destroy ancient traditions or deceive Her Majesty the Queen!
“We must confront them to ensure that our innate ri...

Chapter 247: Daily Activities at the Palace of Versailles

A young man in his twenties replied,
“Are you referring to the drought and harsh winter, my lord?”

“No, those aren’t the primary reasons,” Count Mirabeau said, waving his hand emphatically. “The food shortage stems from the nobility’s neglect of agriculture. They stay in the Palace of Versailles, oblivious to the state of their own estates. This has reduced land yields from 18 bush...

Chapter 246: So, What Kind of Airplane Was That?

At the German-controlled district of Schömelsen Airport, the sky had gradually brightened by seven in the morning.

Major Immelmann woke up on time, quickly freshened up, and then went for a jog dressed in his thin military uniform.

This had been Major Immelmann’s long-held habit. He believed that as a competent pilot, one must have a strong body; otherwise, the harsh winds and low temperatures of t...

Chapter 490: The Icebound Undead Knights

Zimourman swallowed two fragments of divinity. His aura surged dramatically, and he ascended another rank, stepping into the realm of mid-level transcendence.

Charlot Mecklenburg felt no envy, but his fear toward this "companion" deepened. He, too, was a high-level Transcendent, but his cultivation of Bloodfire Combat Energy had to follow a structured process. Although he progressed much faster than ordinary orcs, the requisite steps in his training could not be bypassed. Yet Zimourman ...

Chapter 489: The Sage of the Mirror

"Magical weapon!"

Charlot Mecklenburg and Zimourman Axel Robin worked together to defeat a Transcendent beast. This time, after incinerating the creature, they obtained a Transcendent weapon—a two-handed battle axe.

Zimourman pursed his lips slightly and remarked, "Neither of us is suited for this weapon."

Charlot hesitated for a moment before replying, "Actually, I’ve trained in another Beast God Transformation."

Grabbing the two-handed battle axe, he let out a lo...

Chapter 246: The Gathering Storm

The military nobles were acutely aware that failing to suppress the royal family during this rebellion meant inevitable repercussions.

Previously, they had sought to exploit the royal family’s lack of troops and significant reliance on them to bargain for their interests.

However, this time, the Crown Prince, Joseph, had led the army to annihilate Marquis Saint-Véran with thunderous force. The latter barely held out for an hour—...

Chapter 245: Annexation

Marquis Luckner froze upon hearing those words. Not long ago, they had used the pretext of “refusing to quell the rebellion” to threaten the royal family.

Joseph, however, shifted the topic smoothly:
“I hear you’re planning to organize an ‘Alliance Front’?”

Marquis Luckner immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that Marquis Saint-Véran must have confessed everything. Hastily, he waved his hands repeatedly:
“...

Chapter 245: The Bomber Squadron

Major Immelmann hid in the clouds, never revealing his position. He watched the battlefield below with satisfaction as his first flying squadron went on a rampage against the unprepared French aircraft.

He knew these French planes were organized by Joffre.

Charles's aircraft were "Avros," and they were the true enemies to be "carefully handled." The ones below were nothing more than practice targets.

However, M...

Chapter 244: German Fighter Aircraft

The sky was still filled with heavy snow, and the intense cold formed a thin layer of ice around the aircraft's body.

Major Godfrey, wearing his goggles, flew into the biting wind with a squadron of “Newport 10” planes towards the German forces.

As he gazed at the twin machine guns in front of him, Major Godfrey felt as though he were in a dream.

Two weeks ago, he was performing at an airshow in Lyon, b...

Chapter 488: Inner Arena Seats

The swordsmanship Charlot was most familiar with was, of course, the Angel's Thorn of the Arsilo family. This extraordinary technique had built him an illustrious career, defeating countless formidable foes. However, with Zimourman by his side, Charlot could only resort to the swordsmanship he had learned during his studies at the Behemoth National Academy.

Despite using a more common technique, Charlot's robust foundation in swordsmanship made even an ordinary style come alive with end...

Chapter 487: Third-Tier Bloodfire Combat Energy and Eagle Strike

With the terrifying presence of Zimourman Axel Robin, Charlot didn’t dare use Blood Glory. Who knew how much Zimourman understood about him? If he recognized Charlot as Charlot Mecklenburg—the man rumored to be romantically involved with Menielman Soumet—wouldn’t that spell disaster?

Fortunately, Charlot truly possessed Bloodfire Combat Energy.

His mastery of gun techniques was personally inherited from Juno Arthur. Although his Magnum Mauler left something to be desired, ...

Chapter 244: The Best Strategy

Joseph raised his hand and asked,
“‘Who are ‘you’ referring to?”

The Marquis of Saint-Véran hesitated briefly, but the fear of being exiled to Seychelles overwhelmed him.
“It’s, uh... Marquis Luckner, General Astu, General Morneau...”

Joseph turned to signal his secretary to take note.

He already knew that it was essentially the same group of over twenty people who had signed their names to...

Chapter 243: You Are What I Say You Are, Even If You’re Not

The sounds of gunfire and the panicked shouts of servants incessantly gnawed at the nerves of Marquis Saint-Véran.

As his servants helped him into his military uniform, he roared at the dust-covered Major Bren nearby: “You’re saying that’s Berthier’s army?”

The major shouted back, his voice strained: “It’s their banner... and the Paris Police Academy…”

It wasn’t that he was pa...

Chapter 243: The Immelmann Turn

Pilots are lonely. The moment they climb into the cockpit and fly the plane into the sky, their fate seems to be tied to the aircraft, separated from everyone else.

Charles, with a low voice, warned the trainees: "You should get used to all of this, gentlemen. Learn to rely on yourselves, study the necessary knowledge, or train to fight independently. Only by doing this can you survive on the battlefield and eventually beco...

Chapter 242: Charles' Classroom

Charles didn't care about Kobdo's trap.

At most, Charles would cooperate with Kobdo for interviews to continue increasing his popularity and boosting his support rate in The Meritorious Report.

However, these interviews had nothing to do with the acquisition of army planes or the airport; instead, they shifted the focus to frontline supplies. For example, Charles continued donating marching blankets and socks...

Chapter 486: Kainan, Hello, I Am Zimourman

Penny seemed to sense that Charlot had noticed something. She flashed a charming smile, one with a faint touch of allure.

Charlot’s mind buzzed with questions. He couldn’t quite figure out what this girl truly was and could only remain vigilant.

The remaining two monsters were easy to "fill the numbers." After a few minutes, another group of monsters was drawn by the sound of gunfire and charged toward them. Charlot didn’t give his companions a chance to react. With guns in ...

Chapter 485: The Evil God Preliminaries and Candidates

Youna showed little reaction. Although the two young men were visibly wary, they seemed unaware of any imminent danger. Penny, on the other hand, instinctively reached for the short pistol strapped to her thigh. Charlot Mecklenburg, however, acted reflexively, drawing his weapon and firing a shot that burst a rotund, grotesque object.

The shattered object spewed out revolting, viscous liquid that hissed and smoked as it corroded the ground.

Youna cried out in alarm, "It’s a Pois...

The elderly man Sun Zhengshang nodded and said, “As for me, I don’t have anything I need at the moment.”

Li Hao shook his head. “I don’t need anything either.”

The group exchanged glances, feeling a bit of a headache. With Lin Shanhai present, they couldn’t bring themselves to shamelessly take advantage of a junior. However, owing someone a favor was often more troubles...

Chapter 242: Oh No, I've Become a Rebel!

On a distant hillside, Joseph's speech continued:

"The riots have caused significant devastation across the southern provinces. Yet our brave Marquis of Saint-Véran, commanding nearly twenty thousand troops, has persistently refused to send forces to quell the unrest, standing by as families of status and refinement are plundered by the rioters."

He paused to allow the reporters to record his words before raising his voice:<...

"Half a mile to go." At the front of the group of "peasants," Blanche, wearing a tattered felt hat, put away his telescope and said to the middle-aged man with light brown skin beside him, "This mission is highly dangerous. God bless us, hopefully, they won’t open fire on us right away."

"They shouldn’t. Previously, some rioters came through here, and they barely fired their guns," the middle-aged man replied with a thick south...

Chapter 241: The Trap at Kobdo

Thirty kilometers southeast of Paris lies the town of Wissmann.

The town is roughly in the middle of the defensive line, and its unique geographic location allows it to connect quickly with both the northern and southern lines of France. Coupled with its easy transportation and defensible position, it was selected as the headquarters of the French High Command.

The command post is located in a villa with a garden, whic...

Chapter 484: Golden Paper Kite Academy

A young boy, looking down on Charlot, muttered softly, "Youna! None of us recall him. At most, he’s just recently broken through and can’t be more than a First Rank."

Charlot quickly nodded and replied, "That's right, I’m just a First Rank!"

Youna nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What transcendent path are you following?"

This young girl had delicate features, a slender figure, exceptionally long legs, and a slim waist. She exuded an air of a minor goddess, with a hint ...
