Chapter 324: 311, Tyrant’s Proof and King’s Proof_2
Charles deeply agreed; as the Leader of Ten Thousand Horsen, Ebner Sui could withstand the siege of several Transcendents with equal strength as long as he had his own Knighthood.
After a brief conversation, Krel and Ebner returned to their respective Knighthood, and Charles also remained stationed, confronting the troops of the Black Phoenix Dynasty.
In the following half-month, the two sides fought seven or eight battles, with varying outcos.
While reinforcents from the Black Phoenix Dynasty had yet to arrive, another wave of reinforcents from Fars did reach them.
This contingent of reinforcents did not advance to the front line but instead established their military camp behind Charles’s forces.
The positioning of this military camp was odd, effectively blocking the retreat routes of the Purple Gold Finch, Maple Leaf, and Westwind Knights.
Charles was extrely displeased, but what irritated him even more followed shortly thereafter.
The newly arrived Knight Commander sent over a haughty ssenger, who was not particularly rude but simply relayed a verbal ssage, devoid of any official paperwork, requesting Charles’s presence at a eting.
Charles did not set off imdiately, instead sending for Krel and Ebner, but the ssengers returned with the news that they had already gone to visit the new Knight Commander.
After pondering for a mont, Charles also departed with Old Goat and Tumishen in tow.
The newly arrived Knighthood, nad after a family, was the Bor Knighthood, and the Commander was Klentloff Bor, a man of distinguished birth. Not yet forty and having spent over a decade within the ranks of high-ranking officials, he held a position far above both Charles and Krel.
Mr. Bor had quite an imposing manner, calling for a eting upon arriving at the battlefield and notifying the Purple Gold Finch, Maple Leaf, and Westwind Knights to send their commanders as well.
Although Charles was nonchalant, he was also not pleased, especially since the Bor Knighthood’s camp was precisely blocking their route of retreat, making him sowhat apprehensive.
He had the feeling that the newly arrived Mr. Klentloff Bor intended to intimidate them.
Krel and Ebner arrived earlier, and Charles was the last to arrive. Mr. Bor had even hastily constructed a wooden house within the camp, which, Charles guessed, could possibly be an Extraordinary Object; otherwise, the world’s builders were far too skilled.
He passed through three layers of security before finally entering the wooden house.
Inside the house were only three people, along with so ssengers and servants. Krel and Ebner had somber expressions, and Klentloff Bor, seated in the place of honor, was expressionless. None of them spoke.
Mr. Klentloff Bor was handso but had an aquiline nose and a sowhat cold and sinister look in his eyes, which did not inspire cheer.
After greeting everyone, Charles was about to find a seat when he heard Klentloff Bor, seated in the place of honor, say coldly, “This is a eting that only mbers of the Sacred Order are qualified to attend. Those who are unrelated, please leave.”
Charles’s expression turned very ugly. Without a word, he stood up and walked out.
Golden Ram Herolf followed without hesitation. He didn’t want to follow, but since he was bound by a sort of master-servant contract with Charles, he truly couldn’t remain.
Tumishen also smiled slightly and turned to leave. The Old Leopard Man didn’t need to give face to Fars’s nobility, and since he had recently been presenting himself in human form, he could change his face at any ti and cared even less about Klentloff Bor.
Seeing Charles turn to leave, taking two mbers of the Sacred Order with him, Krel couldn’t help but smile and, giving Ebner a look, also stood up to leave without a greeting.
Of course, Ebner would follow Krel’s lead. He rely said, “Wait for !”
Klentloff Bor watched the now-empty wooden house and suddenly his face turned iron blue with anger, punching the table and instantly shattering the solid wood table.
But no matter how enraged he was, it didn’t reach Charles. By this ti, Charles klen had already left Bor Knighthood’s camp. He looked back and thought, “Tonight I’ll uproot him entirely!”
No sooner had Charles stepped out of the camp than he heard Krel calling from behind, “Charles, you have quite the foul temper!”
“`
Seeing Krel and Ebner catch up, Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh, “Not flipping out in his face and stripping him of his beard, I’m already being quite patient.”
“What does this guy do to warrant such a grand scene?”
Ebner chuckled and said, “His rank is higher than ours, and he aspires to beco the supre commander of the battlefield.”
Charlotte glanced back at the camp and said, “A commander who establishes a camp that blocks his own allies’ retreat is better off not considered at all.”
Charlotte, since crossing over, had t so decent nobles, but he had also encountered so real scoundrels; however, this was the first ti he had encountered such a thing.
Theoretically, Klentloff Bol is the norm among the officials of the various empires.
Krel spread his hands and said, “He might consider reporting to the Central Governnt Office and the Royal Family; we should be fine, but Charlotte, you should be careful.”
“After all, you don’t have a family.”
Krel’s words had an underlying aning; of course, Charlotte had a family, albeit the cklen Family was just a common rchant family, with his father and brother being ordinary rchants.
When Charlotte had just crossed over, he was thinking that as long as he endured a few years, after the passing of his parents, he would be able to rightfully go his separate ways from his brother’s family, avoiding any contact to prevent giving away any discrepancies.
But now, “discrepancies” had beco so nurous that it no longer mattered.
Such an ordinary rchant family was practically of no help to Charlotte.
The difference of having a family in politics is the difference between pushing the boat with the current and fighting desperately staking everything.
If there were so great figure who valued Charlotte, and he got into trouble, if it were just pushing the boat with the current, a slight effort would resolve the issue and they would definitely not mind helping; but if it required a great sacrifice, or even staking their own fate, they would certainly stand by and watch.
This was also Krel’s “hint.”
For a favor neither too big nor too small, Krel would lend a hand, but sotis, he would be powerless.
Charlotte gave a slight smile and said, “I trust Mr. Bol won’t be so petty.”
But what he was thinking was, “We’re at war! Still f*cking playing internal power gas; if you push too far, I’ll kill this son of a bitch.”
He now knew of Golden Ram Herolf’s strength, which was fairly powerful among those of the Sacred Order, and he didn’t believe Klentloff Bol to be that formidable.
If the right opportunity arose, with Old Goat taking action personally, it wasn’t impossible to take out Mr. Bol.
However, Charlotte was montarily helpless about this matter; he certainly couldn’t just turn hostile and kill soone over such a trifle, so upon returning to the camp, he decided to first resolve the issue of their rear being blocked.
Charlotte would definitely not take action personally, but having fought so many battles, he had accumulated so experience. Charlotte chose to advance the position of the Westwind Knights slightly forward, even moving to the side rear of the Black Phoenix Dynasty’s troops, subtly forming a triangular encirclent with Krel and their forces, as well as Bol’s Knighthood.
His position was quite close to the Purple Goldfinch and Maple Leaf Knighthood but was very far from Bol’s Knighthood, effectively leaving Bol’s Knighthood isolated and alone to face the Black Phoenix Dynasty’s massive army.
Charlotte’s move had startled the Black Phoenix Dynasty’s troops; after so discussion among several mbers of the Sacred Order, they believed Fars had brought powerful reinforcents, planning to launch a strong attack at this location.
Andreas strongly suggested attacking one of the opposition’s forces tonight, in order to break the encirclent first.
The direction of Charlotte’s new camp led these mbers of the Black Phoenix Sacred Order to nearly unanimously agree that they should “do the opposite,” and break the newly arrived knighthood first. The reason for choosing to first break through Bol’s Knighthood was because there were at least seven or eight of them, but all in all…
