Chapter 264: 257, The First Battle 1v1 Duel

Interlaken City requires the acquisition of one thousand eight hundred new residents to complete its transformation into a labyrinth! During this period, one must not leave this place.

Charles immediately felt that this small city had completed its transformation into a labyrinth at an astonishing pace, arguably the fastest such transformation since he acquired “Agmillar’s Labyrinth”.

However, it was only now that Charles realized that even the three instances of infusing the labyrinth with Agmiras Evil God’s Power were considered part of the transformation process.

Silver Pigeon Fort and Machu Picchu had both completed three transformations, Mostar Fort had completed two, and Cappadocia City had completed one. In addition to the three instances of infusing Agmiras Evil God’s Power, there were, incredibly, twelve instances in total.

With the first transformation, Interlaken City gained access to the pathways leading to Machu Picchu, Silver Pigeon Fort, Mostar Fort, and Cappadocia City.

Charles decided to save three transformations for emergencies, as for the moment, he did not wish to acquire a passage leading to the true Agmilas Labyrinth!

After the completion of Interlaken’s transformation, Charles commanded his orc warriors to renovate the small city.

The previous battle had caused the city’s residents to suffer heavy casualties, with many fleeing, leaving it nearly a ghost town.

Charles found it not too difficult to refurbish Interlaken City.

For convenience, he had all the old and low houses in the city demolished; after all, orcs are strong, and he divided the entire small city into five districts, redesigning all the houses.

Charles, in his previous life, was a math teacher, not an architect. Asking him to inventively design a set of residences was naturally challenging, but for him to draw inspiration—that was much easier.

In his past life as a math teacher, earning a low salary made buying a luxurious house a dream, yet Charles had indeed watched many videos about luxurious houses—like those featuring wine…

Uh, this wasn’t about luxurious houses.

More like the image of wealth that comes from viewing luxurious residences and rooms discussed by Uncle Ai, Ya Feng, and others.

After Charles’s redesign, Interlaken City did indeed start to look the part.

Of course, a warehouse was essential.

While Charles was actively involved in his many projects, the Black Phoenix Dynasty dispatched three knight orders to attack Interlaken.

Charles’s Westwind Knights Order was elite, bringing just over a thousand human soldiers and a thousand orc labyrinth guardians. Together, they totaled more than three thousand.

It’s worth noting that a regular knighthood might total just a few hundred members at most—unless one considered super nobility or the Royal Knights Order. Westwind Knights Order’s impressive numbers, while perhaps attributed to Charles’s potential to “mass recruit”, already far exceeded those of your typical knighthood.

The commander of the Black Phoenix Dynasty could not ignore such a strategic force. He sent out three knight orders, each consisting of a few hundred members from the regular knights order, totaling a little over a thousand. Their main intention was to keep Charles’s Westwind Knights Order tied down in Interlaken to prevent their involvement in the main battlefield.

Charles was unaware of the enemy’s strategic intentions, mistook the three knight orders for the vanguard, and believed that a large army would soon continuously arrive. He wasn’t even a keyboard military strategist, so he failed to analyze the purpose behind the enemy’s movements.

To avoid a protracted battle, Charles deployed his forces as soon as the three Knighthoods had yet to stabilize their footing.

The leaders of these three Knighthoods were all Barons, who had thought this would be an easy fight. Unaware of Charles’s reputation, the troops from the Black Phoenix Dynasty still believed that the Westwind Knights were simply converted from the Patrolling Army.

Although they were puzzled as to how this Knighthood had swelled to such a large size, they cared even less.

Any commander with a bit of military knowledge knows that farmers hastily conscripted cannot form an effective fighting force. The greater their number, the more the logistical pressure, without a corresponding increase in combat effectiveness.

Indeed, this military common sense isn’t wrong at all.

However, after several battles, the Westwind Knights had already become quite powerful, not to mention Charles had over a thousand Beastman warriors. These were fighters from various Beastman tribes, each with considerable individual strength.

When Charles led the Westwind Knights out of Interlaken City, the leaders of the three Knighthoods still exchanged humble gestures. They regarded Charles as a military novice and believed that the battle was as good as won.

In the end, Baron Remorse Bird from the Black Phoenix Dynasty obtained the right to engage first. He led his Knighthood out of the formation and shouted, “Leader of the Westwind Knights, come out and face me in single combat!”

Charles had never engaged in such a “single combat” on the battlefield before. He enthusiastically pulled out his Blue Rattlesnake and fired a shot at Baron Remorse Bird.

He didn’t even use the Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet but a Blood Energy Bullet instead.

The Blue Rattlesnake was a High-Level Transcendent Bloodsucking Handgun. The upper limit of the Blood Energy Bullet’s power could reach the Fifteenth Order. Although Charles’s strength was insufficient to compress it beyond the Ninth Rank, he never expected that a single shot would explode Baron Remorse Bird’s head, instantly killing him.

With a single shot, Charles had killed the enemy Baron and suddenly felt, “Has the single combat not even started yet?”

Baron Remorse Bird had also not anticipated that someone would use a High-Level Transcendent Extraordinary Weapon. His body collapsed to the ground, adding over three hundred Energy Bullets to the Blue Rattlesnake’s Energy Magazine, “sponsored” by his “friendship”—the essence of his body’s Energy condensed.

Even if of average power, the upper limit of an Energy Bullet depends on the person compressing the bullet. Given that Baron Remorse Bird was killed by a single shot from Charles, one can imagine that his Transcendent level was not high.

Charles casually reholstered the Blue Rattlesnake back into his Bloody Vortex on his left leg, switched to his Knight Lance Collapsing Mountain, and a single charge shattered Baron Remorse Bird’s Knighthood, then he directly assaulted the other two Knighthoods.

Barons Raven Black and Baron Color Crane of the Black Phoenix Dynasty hadn’t expected Baron Remorse Bird to die so quickly. They hastily commanded their Knighthoods to counterattack, but the initial charge, led by the defeated soldiers of Baron Remorse Bird’s Knighthood, was poorly handled by both. Even Charles, a military dilettante, shook his head in disapproval and then let the Westwind Knights take advantage of the momentum to press the attack.

Before the two sides clashed, the formations of the Knighthoods led by Barons Raven Black and Color Crane had already been disrupted by the fleeing soldiers. The two Barons tried to leverage their exquisite martial skills to turn the tide on the battlefield, but each was surrounded by three Bear Tribe warriors, with at least two being Mid-Level Transcendents and the third a lower rank Transcendent.

After only a few minutes of combat, both Barons were captured alive, and their Knighthoods were completely defeated.

Worried that these fleeing soldiers would be regathered by the Black Phoenix Dynasty, Charles desperately tried to entice them to join him on the battlefield. Ultimately, quite a few still fled, but when it came time to tally the prisoners after clearing the battlefield, there were about four to five hundred.

Charles locked up these prisoners in the “warehouse” and then headed straight for Machu Picchu.
