The First Magic World War-Chapter 225: Menilman and Menier

Charles, although a civilian, had fought several battles on the battlefield, having experience with both the army and the navy. He knew not to bring along any arbitrary soldiers; thus, even though the population of Machu Picchu was booming, he selected only a little over two thousand men, leaving the rest to continue developing in Machu Picchu.

The reason he brought only two thousand men was also that the Purple Goldfinch Knighthood had less than three thousand men. Bringing too many would have been embarrassing for Krel Brittany.

Besides, the original Westwind Knights never had that many people.

This time, Charles left Taoles and Belisa in Machu Picchu. He had considered leaving Anatasiya as well, but since Anatasiya preferred the battlefield, he took her along with Dobin, Yellow Bear, The Spotted Deer Gwen, and The Wind Wolf Bankcroft.

This time, Charles selected the most robust warriors. Their movements were incredibly swift, and they caught up with Krel Brittany’s main force within a day.

Krel Brittany’s troops brought too much baggage, far more than was needed to attack South Serif, making their movement extremely sluggish.

Krel Brittany had heard that Charles had won several victories in the Behemoth Duchy, but he hadn’t expected him to muster a knighthood as large as "over two thousand men."

He knew that the Westwind Knights were originally the Patrolling Army from the Lucavaro District. Most patrolling armies were just on paper, and having a few hundred men was considered good. Where did these two thousand come from?

Krel Brittany couldn’t figure it out no matter how he tried.

But Krel Brittany wasn’t the type to seek clarity in everything. To him, a powerful Westwind Knighthood was a good thing.

As for Taoles’ absence, he highly appreciated it. After all, he was a good friend of Ebner Sumei, and Ebner didn’t want his sister on the battlefield either. Krel Brittany had intended to ask Charles to leave Taoles at Silver Pigeon Fort, but it turned out Charles had already left Taoles in Machu Picchu.

This pleased Krel to no end and earned him Ebner’s favor.

They all believed that Charles thought it convenient for Taoles to return home at any time due to Machu Picchu’s proximity to Strasbourg…

In any case, it wasn’t a significant misunderstanding.

The army soon arrived at Silver Pigeon Fort.

The person to greet Krel Brittany was not Baron Fabolais but someone Charles had never expected yet had been lingering in his mind—Menilman Sumei.

The Empire’s First Rose was still strikingly charismatic, leading a troop of hundreds outside of Silver Pigeon Fort, waiting for their arrival.

Charles held no affectionate feelings; rather, this senior was his most reliable support since his arrival, and without Menilman’s promotions, he wouldn’t be here today.

Upon seeing Menilman, Krel Brittany and Ebner Sumei were much more excited than Charles, their demeanor as submissive as that of two tail-wagging puppies.

Before Charles had a chance to greet her, he saw Krel Brittany hand over a large amount of baggage from his troops, even including the civilians that transported the baggage, to Menilman.

He suddenly realized that his senior’s days in the navy must not have been easy.

This also explained why Krel Brittany stayed in Strasbourg for so long and brought more supplies than needed for the attack—these were meant for Menilman.

Before leaving, Menilman finally noticed Charles, motioned him over with a wave of her hand.

Charles, feeling very nervous, approached his senior and heard Menilman say softly, "Keep up the good work!"

Charles nodded vigorously.

Menilman didn’t say much else and turned to leave. Charles couldn’t help but say, "If you pass by Cappadocia City, you can stop to resupply. I have a bit of influence there."

Menilman nodded slightly, leaving behind three men with different emotions, each taking the provisions and her troops, and soon disappeared outside of Silver Pigeon Fort.

With many rivers and proximity to the coast, moving forward from Silver Pigeon Fort leads to several prominent port cities of the Fars Empire.

Menilman’s fleet was likely stationed in one of them.

While Charles had speculated before, it was only now he truly understood how profoundly the Empire Rose incident impacted Menilman, necessitating her to arrange her own supplies.

Krel Brittany slapped Charles on the shoulder, drawing him and Ebner Sumei close, and whispered, "This matter must be kept from everyone."

Ebner Sumei didn’t speak; he just glanced at Charles.

Charles sighed and said, "Menilman is my senior and the one who promoted me. Apart from betraying Anne, there’s nothing I’m unwilling to do for my senior."

This answer greatly satisfied the two gentlemen.

It clarified that Charles was not merely an admirer but occupied a different position.

Especially to Krel Brittany who patted Charles on the shoulder again and said, "Let bygones be bygones. Anne is a good girl, and I will support you fully."

These few words were loaded with meaning.

Charles listened with a pounding heart.

The three had just concluded their deepest level of communication, establishing a silent agreement to stand together, when they saw a pink light streak across the sky and then make a slight turn midair before plummeting toward the ground.
