Chapter 471: 438, I am already under the command of Duchess su, let him back off.
Charles brought along ten of her Sacred-level subordinates, as well as four newly sworn-in nobles, directing her army to the outskirts of Sesath City.
Sesath was a port city, half of which even lay within the sea, comprising six islands and more than twenty giant reefs, connected by very ornate stone arch bridges, allowing many sea ships to even sail into the city of Sesath.
Baron rri of the isu Family stood atop the city wall, looking at the approaching army without a hint of panic, and said to a servant by his side, “Go out and tell Mr.
cklen that I have returned to the su Family and have once again co under Duchess su’s command.
Tell him to withdraw.”
The servant acknowledged and hurriedly descended the city wall, mounted a fast horse, and raced to the front lines of the two armies, shouting loudly, “Baron rri says: We have rejoined the su Family and are now under the command of the Duchess.
...
She is the commander of the Allied Army of the four nations, the commander of Byron.
There’s no business for you lot here!”
“Mr.
cklen, you can turn your troops around and go attack sowhere else.”
The Count of Nottingham, Count Barnett, Viscount Angelo, and Baron Eckson, the four newly sworn-in nobles of the Black Phoenix, all looked quite displeased, but none dared to say anything.
Baron Eckson, sowhat ingratiatingly, said, “Duchess su is also one of the Allied Army.
She has preemptively occupied Sesath, so we can only step aside.”
Count of Nottingham glanced over and saw that Earl cklen’s face was expressionless, he smirked slightly, fostering a spectator’s ntality.
Although he had not interacted much with Charles, he believed that this newly-risen Farsian dignitary would not tolerate such an affair.
The other two nobles displayed their indignation, exclaiming, “Even if it’s Duchess su, she can’t just take our credit, right?
We must negotiate with them firmly.”
Count Barnett even volunteered eagerly, “I am willing to discuss the matter of withdrawal with Baron rri, but they must pay a certain price.
Without sufficient money, materials, and food, we can’t just leave like that.”
Charles remained silent, without uttering a word.
She took a Knight’s Spear from Dobin’s hand, stirred the Bloody Glory, and with all her might, hurled the Knight’s Spear, impaling the ssenger servant on the spot on the battlefield between the two armies.
Charles coldly looked towards the head of Sesath and with a wave of her hand, commanded, “Siege the city!”
Charles had no good feelings towards Duchess su, there was so unpleasant history, and besides, su had already surrendered to Byron.
A Duchess of Byron expected Earl cklen, a Farsian, to give way?
Who did she think she was?
How much face did she have?
Baron Eckson was taken aback and said, “Lord cklen of the House cklen, our opponents have already surrendered.
They are now people of Duchess su.”
Charles responded indifferently, “This envoy heroically declared just now: ‘If you want to fight, then fight!’ We must give the brave people of Sesath, a proper battlefield.”
The few nobles looked at each other but then saw the ten Sacred-level subordinates of Charles gradually taking to the air, and all with mutual understanding, spurred their Fighting Spirit to fly up, heading for Sesath.
Baron rri of isu truly had not expected that Charles would actually kill his servant and imdiately declare war.
His face turned pale, and he hastily descended the city wall, intending to head for one of his own Magical Alchemy Warships.
But Andreas, the fastest, had already arrived first.
He said he did not wish to wage war against the Black Phoenix, but…
When Andreas had heard Baron rri of the isu declare that he had already joined Duchess su, his anger had surged, and in his heart, he had quietly reclassified Baron rri of the Black Phoenix as one of the People of Byron.
When Charles thrust his spear through the ssenger servant and ordered the battle, Andreas was the first to charge into the sky; for him, ri su was a traitor to the Black Phoenix, and he was not among those who refused to fight.
ri, of course, recognized Andreas.
He had just shouted, “Spare for the sake of the Viscount!” when Andreas erupted in rage and yelled, “You are all a bunch of traitors!”
With a thrust of his sword accompanied by countless clear chirps of birds, the poor Baron ri su stood no chance.
This baron was rely a Transcendent of interdiate high-end rank, barely resisting two or three strikes before Andreas cleaved off his head.
With the baron’s death, the city of Sesath had no more power to resist!
Though two Sacred level beings took to the sky, seeing over ten Sacred level beings encircling them from all sides, they wisely chose to surrender.
These were two nineteenth Rank Sacred level beings, who could barely compete with Vigo; even in single combat, they were almost no match for anyone, not to ntion standing up to the likes of Herolf and others, let alone Kratos.
Furthermore, Charles’s tactics were ruthless, not at all about fair duels.
Why would she bother with one-on-one combat?
Kratos, the Black Dragon, and others had grown accustod to this, only the newly joined Elephant-man Agon and Andreas had yet to integrate into this team’s style, but…
it didn’t affect much.
Without their leader, the Knighthood of Sesath surrendered in droves, and within just over an hour, Charles had taken the city.
There was actually a minor incident: soone tried to steal a Magical Alchemy Warship and flee, but the crew onboard, seeing the sky filled with Sacred levels, rejected this officer’s order.
A Sacred level being with a Magical Alchemy Warship might resist several of the sa rank, but this would-be thief was not even a Sacred level, and Charles had far too many under her command.
Even if they had managed to take the Magical Alchemy Warship, Charles’s subordinate Sacred levels could have caught up and broken the ship’s Magic Array.
The Knighthood and fleet of Sesath were well aware of Charles’s reputation; as long as they did not resist, he treated those who surrendered quite well.
But those who chose to resist would be thrown to the Beastn, and no one wished to end up as their al.
When Charles learned of this, the soldiers of the fleet had already tied up the officer and delivered him to her as a token of rit.
Charles glanced at the young officer and asked, “Are you willing to surrender?”
The officer couldn’t help but curse, “I will never surrender to the Farsians!”
Charles placed his hand on his neck and made a slashing gesture; imdiately, soone cut the man’s throat with a single strike.
The young officer, full of a defiant spirit, died instantly.
Nobody cared for his na, nor did anyone consider this failed rebellion to be of any consequence.
Just as Charles was about to go receive her new Knighthood, Andreas descended from the sky and said, “A fleet is heading towards Sesath; by the flags, it’s the Northern Fleet of the su.”
Charles comnted indifferently, “So Baron ri wasn’t lying!
What a pity he died.”
Over ten Sacred levels took to the sky together,
