Chapter 314: 304, Imperial Rose Fleet (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2
From Strasbourg, docunts arrived that granted nierman a new position and political status: seventeenth rank Imperial Captain, senior commander of the Imperial Rose Fleet.
But most importantly, it wasn’t the promotion in rank and politics that mattered, but the reward from Julius Axler VI, recognizing nierman Sui’s personal ownership of this fleet.
In other words, the Imperial Rose Fleet had transitioned from an asset of the Imperial Navy to nierman’s personal fleet.
Of course, the Emperor had given little, for when nierman had taken up the role as a naval general, he had under his command only a few warships; nearly all his current strength had been earned by himself.
Although Charles had provided significant help in the later stages, the early hardships were borne by nierman alone, including the recruitnt of both Sacred Orders.
Additionally, the docunts from Strasbourg also assigned Tumishen and Sabastine Imperial official positions, both as twenty-fifth rank fifth-level warrant officers, a direct leap over nurous ranks due to their Sacred Order status, promoting them past many levels.
Beyond that, there was another docunt related to Charles, which did not elevate his rank or position—he remained a twenty-fifth rank fifth-level clerk—but it granted him a new political status: full diplomatic consul stationed both at Saint Michael City and Cappadocia City.
This status was quite special, yet not considered a very important political position.
Charles didn’t quite understand what this maneuver was about, only knowing that from now on, whether nierman’s fleet could be stationed in Cappadocia and Saint Michael City was his to decide.
After all, the Imperial Rose Fleet was a fleet belonging to Fars, and for it to legally dock at ports in Inglima, the consul from Fars had to apply to local city administrators!
Well, the Fars diplomatic official and clerk stationed in Cappadocia City and Saint Michael Island turned out to be Charles.
As long as Charles klen had no objections, nierman could do anything.
The docunts from Strasbourg excited everyone from top to bottom in the fleet, signifying the Empire’s acknowledgnt of nierman’s achievents, and also confirming everyone’s official statuses.
Initially, when Sabastine had surrendered to Fars under Zimrman’s lead, she only received a modest position of twenty-seventh rank third-level Army Warden, equivalent to a third-level clerk and without a political status, not as prestigious as current Charles, even though she was a Sacred Order!
The docunts from Strasbourg announced to all the nobles of Fars sothing significant: a new top-tier power in the Empire was rising!
nierman had now freed herself from her family’s constraints, becoming a lord with her own independent forces.
If nierman survived this war among several big empires, she was almost destined to beco a significant figure in Fals Country, and this status would stem not from her family, but from her own formidable strength and distinguished military successes.
Charles rejoiced for his senior, having stayed an additional three days on Saint Michael Island and celebrated with everyone before he took his loyal servant, the forr leader of the Golden Goat Pirate Group, Herolf, back to Interlaken City.
He didn’t linger in Interlaken City; he departed the sa day, returning to his loyal Sedona, the place he truly belonged.
Under a normal rhythm, here lay the front line of the war between Fars and the Black Phoenix Dynasty.
Outside Sedona City, were the camps of the Black Phoenix Dynasty and one of its most renowned generals, a relative of the royal family, Chloe, who led her army to “attack” Sedona, with the two sides having “engaged” in battle about a hundred tis already.
Indeed, each day, docunts from both sides would “exchange allegations,” and subsequentially, battle reports were sent to their respective capitals.
As the saying goes, battle reports might lie, but battle lines do not!
To align with the battle reports, the docuntation had Sedona “fall” and “retake” more than ten tis, even causing Interlaken City to “fall” twice, and Chloe’s camp was “broken” five tis, with both sides having “significant captures” in their outdoor battles.
Typically, such captures on battle reports, significant evidence—decapitation—were hard to procure.
Neither Charles nor Chloe were the type to massacre civilians for comndation.
But, what a coincidence it was!
Although Charles on Saint Michael Island hadn’t experienced many battles, he indeed wasn’t short of “decapitation,” after all, many pirates did die.
These “heads” Charles partly kept for his own use, and partly sold to Chloe.
What was particularly aggravating was that after Charles had struggled through the “great battle” for so long, there was still no movent from the Strasbourg front. anwhile, Chloe, having fought bravely on the front lines and achieving outstanding battle results, had been promoted twice, basking in great glory.
Charles had just returned to Sedona and had barely managed two days of governntal affairs when there ca a shocking piece of news from Strasbourg.
nierman Sui, in a sudden assault in the Sea of Giant Whales, had valiantly crushed a Byron fleet and captured two Magical Alchemy Warships, along with more than ten warships. This victory had propelled the reputation of The Empire’s First Rose to new heights.
It’s important to note that while the battles at Ferlanden’s main battlefield were brutal and both sides committed significant forces, no substantial results were achieved.
Sui’s victory was indeed Fars Empire’s first satisfying, resounding triumph since the war between the Fars and Byron Empires began.
Upon receiving this battle report, Charles sent soone to Strasbourg to send his congratulations to his senior, nierman.
Only Strasbourg had a Magic Alchemy Communication Device; his Sedona certainly did not possess such a device.
Congratulatory ssages, such as this one, had to go through official channels to seem formal.
Charles had thought he would just idle away until the war ended, but on his fifth day back in Sedona, he received a “tip-off” from Chloe, urging him to “retreat” at the highest speed.
This mber of the Black Phoenix Dynasty’s royal collateral line didn’t say anything, but Charles sensed sothing very wrong from this private letter.
Chloe would certainly not deceive him in this regard, because…
Once Charles was captured by the Black Phoenix Dynasty, just his testimony alone would be enough to get this famous general from the royal collateral line of the Black Phoenix Dynasty to the gallows.
The charges could be as severe as treason!
After much hesitation, Charles resolutely decided to seek aid from his senior sister!
He feared that his loyal servant, the forr leader of the Golden Goat Pirate Group, Herolf, alone wouldn’t suffice. If nierman could deploy Tumishen and Sabastine, with three there…
Oh, these two didn’t have nicknas related to goats.
In any case, with three Sacred Order mbers, Charles believed he could manage the situation.
Just two hours after sending out his plea for help, he heard earth-shattering roars outside Sedona City, and Chloe’s entire camp was in turmoil.
Charles didn’t hesitate to step onto the city walls.
Chloe led an army, burst out of the camp, and from a distance, made a gesture to him.
Charles roughly understood that this general from the royal collateral line of the Black Phoenix Dynasty was saying, “I told you to leave! If you don’t hurry now, it’ll be too late, just accept your fate!”
It even contained, “If you’re unlucky, make sure to die in battle, don’t get captured alive. Even if you can’t bear to die, if you do get captured, don’t rat out, it won’t do you any good.”
“If you don’t rat out, maybe I can still help.”
Charles returned the look with a aningful glance, and the two completed an extrely complicated exchange with just a gesture and a look amidst the battlefield.
This was the “tacit agreent” cultivated from countless battles.
The main forces of both their battlefields were “each other’s clerks.”
