The First Magic World War-Chapter 627 - 592, Peak Battle

Chapter 627: 592, Peak Battle Chapter 627: 592, Peak Battle When the seventh Tree Spirit Envoy fell from the sky, the Evil Wraith army began to retreat!

Charles issued the command to cease the pursuit.

The Gandis Mountains were simply too treacherous; ordinary soldiers and land battleships couldn’t traverse them.

While Centurions could attempt to do so, without the protection of land battleships, the true combat power of a Centurion was only equivalent to that of a low-level, high-tier Transcendent and offered no overwhelming advantage.

As for the Sacred-level troops under Charles, he was certainly not willing to use them for a chase!

The military tactics of ancient eastern nations have said, “Do not pursue a desperate foe!”

Ah, Charles simply couldn’t bear to hinge precious combat power on the Sacred level.

The Operators of the land battleships and the Riders of the Centurions emerged from their iron cans one after another.

...

Even tanks made through Magic Alchemy from the Old Continent couldn’t solve the heat dissipation problem.

Inside the land battleships was swelteringly hot, and since this world didn’t have air conditioning, the Operators just had to endure it.

Charles had indeed considered assigning a team member proficient in wind or ice series magic to each land battleship, but Transcendents were rare to begin with.

Designating a specific type of Transcendent was almost impossible due to the sheer lack of personnel.

These Operators climbed out of the land battleships, desperately replenishing their water intake, all of them panting, even sticking out their tongues from the heat.

The situation was slightly better for the Riders of the Centurions, but due to technical issues, operating the Centurions with their legs led to significant wear on their thighs.

Their legs were sore, and they were all rigorously massaging them, even taking off their boots to stretch their very damp feet.

The land battleships and the Centurions still had very poor long-term combat capabilities, but based on what could be examined at present, they were already considered quite good.

These two weapons would need a long time of improvements to gradually perfect.

After the Westwind Knights withdrew from the battlefield, a squad of reserve fighters took to the field, collecting the remains of the slain plant soldiers and transporting them back to the Holy Light Divine State Title.

Although the Evil Force within these remains was far less potent than that of the Tree Spirit Envoys, they were still a very nourishing ingredient for the Holy Light Divine State Title.

Charles shook his head, thinking to himself, “At the moment, the fight still depends on the Sacred level!

But without them, the land battleships and Centurions can already hold off mid to low-level Transcendents.

If we had enough of these machines, even High-Level Transcendents would have to kneel.”

Andreas gracefully landed beside Charles and said in a low voice, “These iron beasts really pack a punch!

With them, we no longer need the Sacred level to clear out the infantry.”

Charles nodded and said, “They are the best support for the Sacred level.

In the future, every person will be equipped with a Centurion cavalry unit.”

Charles certainly wouldn’t tell Andreas that these machines were ultimately designed to replace the Sacred level; that would be far too lacking in emotional intelligence.

Andreas was clearly very pleased and said, “It’s just that the comfort level is too low, otherwise I’d even want a Centurion for myself.”

Charles nodded and said, “The comfort levels of the land battleship and the centurion are indeed very poor, but there is still room for improvement!”

Soon the battlefield was cleaned up, and Charles left a troop to monitor the Gondis Mountain Range while leading the main force back to the Fortress of Brittany.

During this sortie, Charles hadn’t used the troops aided by various countries, and upon his return to Brittany, a leader from Byron’s forces came to protest at his door, claiming that Charles had deprived them of the opportunity to build their merits and achievements.

Charles hadn’t expected to encounter such belligerent soldiers and immediately offered an apology.

He allowed the leader from Byron to take troops to Gondis Mountain Range and informed him that Zimmerman’s army of evil wraiths might cross the mountains at any time for another invasion, and he must hold the line.

Charles was also baffled by why the leader from Byron, who was just bursting with righteous indignation and eager for battle, suddenly turned pale, but he didn’t dare contradict and left dejectedly, actually taking his troops and leaving the Fortress of Brittany for Gondis Mountain Range.

Charles didn’t understand what was going through this man’s mind, but still, he summoned the military leaders from various countries to the newly rebuilt Ducal Mansion of Brittany, which was based on the original duke’s residence, for a small meeting.

He encouraged everyone to speak their minds and offered that those willing to go to Gondis Mountain Range could take their troops and head to the battlefield immediately, while those not yet prepared should assist the Westwind Knights with logistics.

These military leaders from various countries seemed not to grasp Charles’ intention and expressed their wish to stay at the Fortress of Brittany.

Charles quickly “dissected” the troops sent by other nations, integrating a large number of personnel into the Westwind Knights.

On their first day joining the Westwind Knights, the officers personally asked them if they needed welfare housing and hinted that they could choose any district within the Duchy of Mecklen or even go to Cappadocia in Inglima, St.

Michael Island, or the Agres Archipelago.

Those who went to the Agres Archipelago were even offered a plot of land!

They were also informed that the Holy Light Divine State Title was open to the lower echelons of the Westwind Knights, though each soldier could only visit once a week and had to wait in line.

Charles did not specifically recruit these people; these policies were simply internal to the Westwind Knights and nearly all soldiers enjoyed similar benefits.

However, these “ordinary internal policies” had a subtle effect, and soon the leaders from various countries found they could no longer command the soldiers Charles had “temporarily” transferred to the Westwind Knights.

Charles didn’t spend his energy on these trivial matters.

Since Zimmerman didn’t come to Modova, he naturally had gone to Xel City.

Charles was very concerned about the battle situation in Xel City.

The side from Byron was more than willing to share such information, and a few days later, Charles learned about the battle conditions in Xel City.

Zimmerman had indeed arrived in Xel City, joining forces with another immigrant army to attempt to crush this alliance of Old Continent nations.

Zimmerman himself took action but was intercepted by Juno, Byron’s top warrior and Charles’ mentor.

Juno displayed the grandeur of a peak warrior, fighting a fierce battle against Zimmerman and effortlessly repelling this famed strongman of the continent, securing victory in this epic duel.

Charles was extremely shocked when he heard this news.

He knew his mentor Juno had concealed a great deal of strength but had not imagined he could personally repel Zimmerman!

However, Charles’ ease faded after using the Magic Alchemy Communication Device to personally inquire about the battle from Juno.

Juno’s response was, “Zimmerman has not regained his full strength; he’s only at the twenty-first level.

I defeated him only by having an advantage in our respective levels.

If he makes a breakthrough, say to the twenty-second or even twenty-third level, even if I still hold a level advantage, I might not be able to win.

Should Zimmerman recover to the peak of Sacred level, I certainly won’t be his match.”
