First Wizarding World War

Charlotte, Krel, Abner and the Black Phoenix Army fought a fierce battle, each suffered losses. Fars lost a Saint and destroyed a Knights, and the Black Phoenix Army lost almost most of its troops. The two sides did not start a second battle.

The Black Phoenix Army could not maintain the front line because it had no ordinary soldiers and could only retreat slowly.

Charlotte originally wanted to separate from the Black Phoenix Army and retreat to Behemoth, but Krel Brittany could not allow himself to retreat like this and insisted on pressing forward step by step. Charlotte had no choice but to compromise in the end. After the three Knights re-entered the South Seraf region, they found that the situation was much better and much worse than they expected.

It was said to be much better because the Black Phoenix Army lost the lower-level soldiers and could no longer defend the cities they had captured in the early stage. Every time they retreated to a city, they took away the soldiers who had been stationed there and gave up the occupation.

Charlotte and his men recaptured several cities almost without bloodshed.

It was said to be much worse because South Seraf began to lack food.

Charlotte evacuated a large number of South Sera women, and also evacuated countless supplies. After the Black Phoenix Army entered the South Sera region, it became more difficult to obtain supplies from the rear, and they could only collect military rations and other supplies on the spot. Of course, the South Sera women were unwilling to sacrifice their hands, and they also wanted to live. The Black Phoenix Army had no good feelings towards the South Sera women and adopted the most brutal suppression.

Every time Charlotte recovered a city, she felt sad. There were dozens or hundreds of corpses hanging on the walls of almost every city, including men, women, old people and children. They were all South Sera women who resisted and refused to donate food. Even many people were not unwilling to donate, but really had no food. Crying could be heard in every city day and night.

Since the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the attack by Archduke Joseph who inherited the duke's throne, South Sera has never stopped fighting, and it was difficult to survive.

During Charlotte's reign, because taxation was abandoned and commerce was vigorously developed, the South Sera women could barely maintain their lives. But Charlotte couldn't force himself to cook without rice. He was often not in South Seraf, fighting for his senior sister on St. Michael Island, so the bad situation in South Seraf was not reversed.

This time, the Black Phoenix Army came and completely collapsed the fragile economy and the life that was barely maintained in South Seraf.

Charlotte had no choice. He couldn't transport food here, because if the war didn't stop and the Black Phoenix Dynasty's army continued to fight, the situation would be worse. The food transported would only enrich the Black Phoenix people, and these ordinary South Seraf people couldn't keep their food.

He could only vigorously promote that those who were willing to withdraw Behemoth with him would be responsible for everything by the Knights of Favonius, including food and accommodation, and the allocation of land and houses in other cities.

The South Seraf women, who were unwilling to leave, were moved by Charlotte's promise. He had a good reputation in South Seraf. With the Black Phoenix Army as a comparison, more and more South Seraf people were willing to leave their hometown.

Charlotte arranged these people to go to Cappadocia as much as possible.

Cappadocia is located on the island of Goling, which is the second largest island in the Ingrima Empire, but the population is very small. Although there are many mountains, it is not impossible to live there. At least there is a place for these South Seraphs to live there, and the trade there is developed, and it is easier to find a job.

Soon, the battle line was pushed back to Sedona.

However, this time it was the army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty that occupied the city, and Charlotte's West Wind Knights, Krel's Purple Ark Knights, and Abner's Maple Leaf Knights were outside the city.

The army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty retreated to Sedona and never retreated again, because Sedona transported countless supplies and was their largest supply base, and they must not give up these supplies.

Moreover, they gathered the soldiers who occupied South Seraph and became a powerful army again, so there was no need to retreat any further.

The two sides had several exploratory battles under the city of Sedona. Claire Brittany and Andreas dueled every day. The duels between the two sides were as frequent as those between Charlotte and Chloe.

Charlotte actually didn't want to confront here. He didn't know when the reinforcements from the Black Phoenix Dynasty would arrive, but he knew they would definitely arrive. It was not certain when the reinforcements from Fars would arrive, and there might not be any later.

But Claire and Abner didn't want to give up the city they had recaptured. They both fought in South Seraf. The last battle was even named after the Brittany Offensive. Claire wanted to avenge his previous shame and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Black Phoenix Army.

Charlotte had no choice but to cooperate with him.

All he could do was to quietly withdraw the ordinary soldiers and replace them with maze guards.

The maze guards in his hands were part orc warriors and part pirates, and the proportion of extraordinary ones was not low, so their combat effectiveness was quite strong.

Charlotte didn't even leave Dubin, Anastasia and others behind, and asked them to retreat to Behemoth.

The battle line was deadlocked in Sedona. In a flash, more than ten days passed. Charlotte was worried every day. Claire, on the other hand, was addicted to fighting with Andreas. He went into seclusion and thought hard when he returned to the barracks, trying to suppress Andreas the next day.

On this day, Claire rose as usual!

Andreas also took off.

Just as the two were preparing to fight as usual, Charlotte saw a scene that she would never forget. Countless clouds suddenly floated in the sky in the direction of the Black Phoenix Dynasty. These clouds were very strange and were actually alive.

Although ordinary clouds also float slowly, they all seem to be still when viewed from the ground. If you don't look closely, you can't tell that the clouds are moving.

But these clouds are changing in all directions and sweeping in, which is completely different from ordinary clouds.

Charlotte looked at it for a while and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's birds, so many birds form a huge cloud-like monster!"

"What's going on?"

Occasionally, huge flocks of birds will appear on the earth, but that is an extremely rare phenomenon. Charlotte doesn't believe that this thing will appear near the battlefield for no reason.

The old leopard was experienced. He only took a glance and cried out, "That's not a bird. That's someone's fighting spirit, a sign of his appearance!"

Charlotte was shocked and said, "Can this person's fighting spirit cover several miles of sky?"

Domitian said, "There is only one person in the Black Phoenix Dynasty who has such power."

This time it was Charlotte's turn to cry out, "Is Viscount Constantine coming?"

"How is that possible? Why is he here?"

"This person's fighting spirit is so strong, aren't we doomed?"

Charlotte was at least a peak intermediate-level transcendent. How could she not know that if those countless birds were the manifestation of Constantine's fighting spirit, it could only mean one thing, that Krel, Abner, the old goat and Domitian combined would not be his opponent.
