First Wizarding World War

Just when the South Slav Restoration Army and the Knights of Favonius were fighting under the Fort Mostar, Hughes had already jumped onto the city wall, and his direct Restoration Army also threw out hooks and climbed onto the Fort Mostar from the unguarded city wall.

When 70% to 80% of his troops climbed onto the top of the city, a combat team of hundreds of people led by two girls appeared under the city. Hughes only took a cold look and led his troops to rush towards the Grand Duchess who was watching the battle on the castle, ignoring the subordinates who were fighting with Belissa and Anastasia under the city.

The Grand Priest Augsradin noticed Lady South Slav rushing to the top of the city. As soon as he took off into the air, a beam of fire flew over. Vigo, the Saint of South Slav, took action and stopped the Grand Priest who was about to join the battle. The two were entangled in light and flames, and the fight was getting farther and farther away. Obviously, neither of them could support the army below.

Hughes led the way, killing all the nobles watching the battle on the top of the city wall without mercy, and rushed through the "audience seats" in one breath, rushing to the front of Archduchess Joseph.

The Archduchess had actually been in power for not long, because not long ago, the Principality of Behemoth was still Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. She was frightened and shouted, "Don't kill me."

Hughes said lightly, "Madam, please lend me your head."

He cut off the neck of the imperial duchess with a sword, grabbed her head, turned around and left without stopping.

Baron Fei Bolie witnessed this scene and jumped directly from the top of the city wall in fear, and shouted, "Charlotte, save me!"

But no one paid attention to him. Hughes attacked the city only to kill the Archduchess, and had no intention of targeting him at all. Charlotte was entangled with Lady Nansela's army and had no spare time to save the baron. Baron Fei Bolie jumped off the top of the city wall and broke his legs. He lay on the ground and kept wailing.

Hughes led his army, opened the gate of Mostar Castle from the inside, rushed out with his team, and shouted loudly: "I have broken through Mostar Castle and killed Grand Duchess Joseph. Long live Lady South Slav."

The South Slav Restoration Army, which was fighting bitterly with Charlotte's Knights of Favonius, collapsed and fled at the moment when Hughes left the city.

The morale of the Knights of Favonius suddenly increased greatly. Charlotte did not dare to pursue the defeated soldiers and ordered the iron barrel formation to prepare to meet Hughes' attack. The Knights of Favonius contracted the front line and surrounded them in iron barrel formations, and moved closer to each other. The iron barrel defense formation is an old tradition of the Knights of Favonius. After all, they were originally patrolling the city.

After Hughes left the city, he looked at Charlotte from a distance, and did not pay much attention to this lifelong enemy. He gathered the Restoration Army and slowly retreated.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. He had no confidence that he could resist the full-scale attack led by Hughes on the plain. When the South Seraf Restoration Army retreated, he noticed Baron Feberle, who was wailing until his voice was hoarse, and sent someone to send him to Mostar Castle.

He absolutely did not want to enter Mostar Castle because he did not want to see his "family".

In this short battle, Charlotte lost more than a thousand people, not counting the team taken away by Anastasia.

He was extremely sad.

Although war always kills people, you really can't kill your own people.

Facing the fallen soldiers of the Knights of Favonius, Charlotte was very sure that he could not be a qualified military strategist.

Dubin volunteered to take his own people to do reconnaissance.

About two hours later, when he came back, he also brought back Belissa and Anastasia, as well as hundreds of prisoners.

Dubin said loudly: "Lady Nansela has withdrawn."

"They climbed up the city wall from the north, but Miss Belisa and Anastasia caught the army behind them. In order to kill the Grand Duchess, Hughes abandoned these people and was captured by us."

Charlotte was silent for a long time. He finally realized that he was deceived by Hughes again.

Hughes didn't want to duel at all, and even killing the Grand Duchess might not be his goal. His goal was to "withdraw troops."

As for why the troops were withdrawn? There are only two reasons: the logistics can no longer support it, and the situation has changed, and Lady Nansela needs to continue to serve as cannon fodder.

Charlotte silently gathered the Knights of Favonius, cleaned the battlefield, and gathered all the baggage left by the Nansela Restoration Army and the equipment of the dead soldiers together. First, he replenished the army with supplies, and then sent the remaining supplies and the bodies of the dead to Machupi.

When he was on Earth, he saw those historical travel stories that always built mausoleums for the soldiers. He never understood why it was so troublesome. The ancestral tombs of the Huang family had long been gone, but at this moment, he felt the same way.

In the evening, a baron from Mostar Castle sent someone to invite him into the city. Charlotte took a look at the name and decisively refused.

Not long after, Baron Feibolie also sent someone to invite him into the city. Charlotte still chose to refuse. The reason given was that Lady Nansela might attack again, and I had to protect the peace of the baron for this night.

Baron Feibolie was very moved and sent someone to send out a batch of food.

Charlotte directly distributed it to his soldiers.

A total of 17 or 18 nobles from Mostar Castle sent people to invite Charlotte. Charlotte refused all of them. He really didn't want to enter the city.

There was no talk all night. On the next morning, Charlotte was considering whether to leave early. After all, the battle of Mostar Castle was over.

Although the battle started with a vengeance and ended with a whimper, Lady Nansela surrounded Mostar Castle with great momentum, but Hughes captured Mostar Castle, but only killed the Duchess and withdrew his troops without even looting.

He heard from his men that someone came to visit and the other party claimed to be his brother.

Charlotte sighed. He really didn't want to be involved in the past, nor did he want to see his "relatives", but he couldn't help it.

He met his brother Mycroft Mecklen and his brother's wife Winnie Mecklen for the first time in a military carriage. She changed her surname to her husband's after marriage.

Charlotte's brother was seven years older than him, and was in his prime. As a very successful businessman, he had a little cunning in his temperament, but he had extremely complicated feelings for this younger brother. Charlotte was quite useless when she was young, except for being admitted to university.

Winnie's feelings were more complicated than her husband's. Her original name was Winnie Martin.

That’s right, Charlotte’s sister-in-law is actually Sylvie Martin’s sister. She had once helped to bring about the marriage between Charlotte and Sylvie, but later Charlotte did some dishonorable things, which made Sylvie “furious” and she wanted to cancel the engagement many times, but it was Winnie who persuaded her sister.

In the end, Sylvie successfully canceled the engagement.

Charlotte also staged a scene of a prodigal son returning home…
