The First Magic World War-Chapter 292 - : 285. Rebellion in Saint Michael City
Chapter 292: 285. Rebellion in Saint Michael City
St. Michael Island had fallen into Menilman’s hands, and Charles might have managed something, but in the hands of Count Ranmalock, Ban Ranmalock would definitely have claimed a hefty share, and Charles…
Well, he might have ended up with an empty city.
After all, if it had been Charles Meklen, he would have certainly devoured all the wealth accumulated over the years by the Golden Goat Pirate Group, sparing not a single person or a penny for outsiders. By his own measure, Charles assumed Count Ranmalock to be of the same cut.
Otherwise, how could the Victory Champagne Count afford to throw parties with so much Fars-produced champagne?
Charles Meklen, never managing to obtain even a single bottle at his level of a twenty-five fifth-grade city administrator, while Count Ranmalock could practically bathe in champagne.
Well, perhaps as the Archives Commissioner of the Red Dragon Palace and Literary Advisor of the Yuquan Palace, Cappadocia City, St. Michael’s City Administrator, twenty-second third-grade senator, Charles Meklen could get his hands on a few bottles.
Upon his return, Charles effortlessly killed a pirate leader nicknamed “Anglerfish,” seizing all under his command.
Logically, he doubled his followers…
With plenty to spare!
The name of Qian Nan, the King of Bears, gradually became well-known within the Golden Goat Pirate Group.
Although the increase in manpower made Charles a significant force among the lower-tier pirates, he still failed to catch the attention of the pirate group’s upper echelon. Firstly, his personal strength was “not high,” as he was merely a First Order Red Bear Warrior, and secondly, he didn’t own a ship. After all, in a pirate group, only those with ships could call themselves pirates; those without were merely foot soldiers.
Without a ship, there was no way to go out and plunder, no plunder meant no income, and without income, there was nothing.
If he were an ordinary pirate, he would definitely have tried to get a ship, but Charles wasn’t really a pirate and naturally had no interest in acquiring one, unless it was an Ancient Magic Warship or a Magical Alchemy Warship.
About seven or eight days after Charles’s return, a “major event” finally shook the pirate group.
The Golden Ram Herolf, desperately waiting for his flagship to return and using the Golden Ring to summon it, found no response even after a day had passed. The big-time pirate began to sense that something was amiss, but he still couldn’t believe that anyone would leave behind his Queen Bee. He sent his fleet to Notruden to welcome his flagship.
In theory, the return of the Queen Bee would take a few days, and Herolf patiently waited on one side, yet he could not contain his temper and had already tortured dozens of female slaves to death.
Every day, Charles and the others could see bodies being dragged out from the highest floors of Saint Michael City and then thrown into the sea.
Ban Ranmalock mentioned several times that if he were not limited by his rank, he would have long gone up to Mount St. Michael to duel with the Golden Ram Herolf.
Although Charles could bear it, he hastened his activities.
Unfortunately, he truly wasn’t the man for this job, managing neither to find any trace of the Golden Vice Ram or to contact this resistance force. He also failed to discover the conditions of the three detained Sacred Order figures. As for transmitting messages outside, he did attempt it several times.
Charles used the Mind Passage to send messages to Cappadocia City several times, but since this Special Ability was a one-way channel, he never received a response from Menilman.
The atmosphere in Saint Michael City grew increasingly oppressive, and after about a dozen days, the pirate ship returning from Notruden finally brought back a “dire piece of news.” Someone had seen the Queen Bee on the Sventis River.
It was said that Fars’s famous writer Charles Meklen, in order to please Emperor Guillaume XV and the widowed aunt of His Majesty Albert, executed a strategy known as “Python,” seized this Ancient Magic Warship, and presented it to Her Royal Highness the Great Eldest Princess.
Her Royal Highness the Princess had the Queen Bee deliberately parked on the Sevantes River to show off, allowing all the residents of Notruden to gawk at it.
As for why it couldn’t be summoned back, the pirates didn’t know the reason and could only guess that the Sacred Order of the Inglima Empire had intervened, suppressing the flagship of the Golden Goat fleet.
Upon receiving this news, Golden Ram Herolf was furious and personally led the fleet away from St. Michael Island.
Charles immediately passed on the news and also decided to do something.
With Herolf not in Saint Michael City, the city no longer had a Sacred Order to preside over it.
If it had been before, Charles of course could do nothing.
Saint Michael City still had five major deputy leaders and ten great generals!
Although they wouldn’t all stay in Saint Michael City, some would go out to sea to plunder, but there were always six or seven people stationed. These great pirates, being either high-order or mid-order, Charles thought he could take on any single one of them, but challenging so many mid-high tier pirates was beyond his capabilities.

But the past is the past, and now is now.
Charles now had Augusladin High Priest, a Sacred Order.
He also had Ban Lanmalock, the youngest lion of Notruden, who had just advanced to high-rank. Charles believed he could take on five ordinary high-rankers and, even setting the bar lower, could still take on three.
Five hours after Herolf sailed out, Charles launched a “rebellion.”
Charles was not a professional in this field; he didn’t even bother with a pre-battle mobilization but directly took all his men and stealthily attacked the second layer of Saint Michael City.
Of the five deputy leaders of the Golden Goat Pirate Group, only one remained, two went out to sea to plunder, and the other two followed Herolf to Notrudenia. Of the ten great generals, only three were present, the rest either went out to sea to plunder or followed the Golden Goat, marking the emptiest moment of St. Michael Island.
The Golden Goat Pirate Group had been rampant in the Sea of Giant Whales for years and had collusions with the Royal Navy of the Inglima Empire, never imagining someone would dare to rebel internally.
When Charles reached the only deputy leader stationed at St. Michael Island, the deputy leader was still calm and said, “I have heard of you, Bear King Qian Nan! You want to stand out in the pirate group, work hard for a few more decades, then maybe. But you actually staged a rebellion, do you know how powerful the Golden Goat is?”
“Ignorance isn’t a mistake, arrogance is, and you are too full of yourself.”
Although Charles did not fear this high-level transcendent pirate, he had only one thing to say to this deputy leader, “Augusladin High Priest!”
“Attack!”
Augusladin High Priest had never heard such disrespectful words in his life, but he made no protest and released his force of radiance, shooting seven arrows of light!
Augusladin High Priest was not merely a knight; he was a true old mage. This spell, Light Arrows, although common within the system of The Lord of Radiance, also depended on who wielded it.
When the deputy leader of the Golden Goat Pirate Group heard Charles cry out: “Augusladin High Priest, attack!” he was relaxed, thinking this small Bear Person was just bluffing. But when he saw a Sacred Order of Radiance, a grand priest, burst out from behind this small Bear Person, his eyes nearly popped out.
Of course, he couldn’t withstand the “Indignant Strike” of a Sacred Order.
