The First Magic World War-Chapter 214 - 211, this is the real royal sister flight!

This tedious sea chase was a true test of a commander’s caliber.

As one of Inglima’s naval elite, James Cook’s command abilities were beyond question, yet the two Magical Alchemy Warships that appeared and disappeared intermittently, relentlessly on his tail, put immense pressure on James Cook.

His mission was not to engage in battle, but to escort the envoy to Fars.

James Cook was well aware that his main task was to deliver the envoys to Fars, not to engage in a decisive naval battle with the forces of Baron.

Gazing into the distance at the sea, he said to Charles beside him, "If the Leviathan sails northward, it can circle around to the other side of Song Spirit Island. I recall you have a fleet in Cappadocia City. I will drop you off at Song Spirit Island so that you can cross through and set sail from Cappadocia City to Fars."

Charles exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn’t that mean you have to draw away the two Magical Alchemy Warships from Baron?"

"If Princess May is not on the warship, and Baron’s Sacred Order intercepts your ship..." Charles hesitated, leaving the rest unsaid. There were many taboos on a warship, and it was inappropriate to speak certain things.

James Cook said in a grave voice, "This is my duty."

"The primary duty of a soldier is to accomplish the mission."

Charles shook his head and said, "I have a better way!"

"You might as well hear me out, James. If it doesn’t work, we can proceed according to your plan."

James Cook was a stubborn man. If it had been anyone else, he would have outright refused without even listening. But Charles was different to him; he patiently responded, "Speak."

In truth, he did not believe Charles could offer any valuable suggestions.

After all, Charles was a civilian and entirely outside the military hierarchy. Although Charles had captured Cappadocia City and built a fleet from scratch, which did impress James Cook somewhat, he did not consider it military talent, just good fortune, especially since it was Chatham’s fleet that he had coerced into surrendering.

What he did not know was that Charles had his own set of problems: the fleet in Cappadocia City was purely for the purpose of "Maze-ification," hastily put together.

When Charles left, he had left the fleet in the hands of Simon and Cruz.

One was a merchant ship owner, the other the former Patrol Army Superintendent of Cappadocia City. The former could not be relied upon and had barely obeyed under the threat of a pufferfish pill; the latter, a native Song Spirit Islander, had initially been deceived into thinking Charles was from Baron, and later...

When James Cook and Francis Drake arrived at Cappadocia City, it was impossible to keep Charles’s true identity a secret. It was lucky that no one exposed him on the spot.

Charles did not believe, upon returning to Cappadocia, that he would still find a "fleet."

As for using the Labyrinth to return to Fars...

It was not part of Charles’s plan.

The fewer people who knew this secret, the better.

After all, this secret directly implicated Charles Mecklen in the summoning of the Evil God.

Clearing his throat lightly, Charles said, "Actually, Inglima’s navy is certainly superior to Baron’s navy, and I also firmly believe that you, James Cook, possess command and combat abilities far surpassing any naval officer of Baron."

This flattery made James Cook quite comfortable, and he showed a willingness to listen, waiting for Charles’s strategy.

Charles said, "Therefore, I have a plan. Let me try to draw away one Magical Alchemy Warship, creating a one-on-one combat situation for you to face the other one."

James Cook also recognized this strategy, but he still patiently explained, "This is almost impossible."

Charles gave a slight smile and said, "The people of Byron not only can wait on the inevitable path of the Giant Whale Ship, but they can also dispatch two members of the Sacred Order to exert pressure on Princess May. It’s as if they have us completely in their grasp."

James Cook nodded. The Giant Whale Ship would be intercepted at sea by two of Byron’s Magical Alchemy Warships; clearly, someone had leaked information.

Charles then made a surprising suggestion to James Cook, "If Princess May were to take you to escape, would they send warships after you?"

James Cook categorically rejected the idea, "I will never leave the warship."

Charles smiled and said, "No one can make you leave the warship, for without you, this plan cannot be executed. I certainly won’t be commanding this big toy."

Charles took out the Cat’s Mask and handed it to James Cook, saying, "We’ll have Miss Aurora Sumei disguise herself as you, letting the Great Eldest Princess take her for a ride around the vicinity of the two Byron warships. Even if they have suspicions, they will still dispatch one warship to pursue."

"Moreover, they will definitely send at least one member of the Sacred Order!"

"Without a member of the Sacred Order, they can’t stop the Great Eldest Princess."

James Cook’s mind cleared up suddenly. Although the plan was crude, if Princess May truly took him, the "captain," and fled, the people of Byron would pursue them even if they sensed a potential deceit.

If they didn’t pursue, it wouldn’t be a big problem either; Princess May could simply take a detour and then return.

After pondering for a long time, James Cook said, "I will go explain this plan to Princess May right away."

Charles thought to himself, "That’s perfect!"

"These past few days, I’ve nearly run out of novels to recite."

"Every time after reciting a few dozen chapters, Princess May would say, ’This is an unparalleled story, but your words are dull, your expression dry, diminishing the story’s brilliance. Shut up. I will go buy the original to read. Bring me another tale!’"

"Even juicing doesn’t work like this."

"This is draining the pond to get the fish!"

James Cook went away for dozens of minutes, then came back in a hurry and said, "Princess May agrees with the plan, but she has rejected Miss Aurora, insisting that you act as me."

Charles’s forehead thumped at that moment. This was a bit too much to handle!

However, since he had proposed the plan, he inevitably couldn’t refuse such a request. He personally tried to persuade Princess May, but her answer was, "Not negotiable."

Charles could only look aggrieved and entrusted two Knight’s Spears and a Magic Stabbing Sword to Taoles. He only brought with him a griffin, as well as two ordinary pistols and a bag of bullets. As for Blood Rose and Withing Rose hidden inside his left arm’s Bloody Vortex, they were his security that he would never leave behind.

After making these arrangements, he then changed into James Cook’s uniform, stroked James Cook for a while, and transformed into the appearance of this Inglima naval officer.

Princess May’s arms went under Charles’s armpits and gently lifted him, activating a surge of Fighting Spirit, and took a roundabout flight near the two Byron Magical Alchemy Warships.

Although Charles had tried using "The Flourishing World Blossoms" to levitate, flying in Princess May’s embrace felt quite different.

He muttered to himself, "This is truly an ’elder sister’ flight experience!"

Not just an elder sister, but a "your highness" elder sister!
