first wizarding world war.

Chapter 163 Madam, Please Lend Me Your Head

When the Yugoslav Restoration Army and the Knights of Favonius were fighting under the Fortress of Mostar, Hughes had already jumped onto the city wall, and his direct Restoration Army also threw out grappling hooks and climbed up to Fort Mostar from the unguarded city wall.

When about 70% to 80% of his troops climbed to the top of the city wall and a combat team of several hundred people led by two girls appeared at the foot of the city, Zeus just took a cold look and led his troops to rush towards the Grand Duchess who was watching the battle on the castle, ignoring his subordinates who were fighting with Belissa and Anastasia at the foot of the city.

High Priest Ogusradin noticed Lady Nansera rushing to the top of the city wall. Just as he rose into the air, a beam of fire flew over. Saint Vigo of Nansera stepped in and stopped the high priest who was about to join the battle. The two were entangled in light and flames, and the fight was getting farther and farther away. It was obvious that neither of them could support the army below.

Hughes took the lead and killed all the nobles watching the battle on the city wall without mercy. He killed his way through the "audience seats" in one breath and rushed to Archduchess Joseph.

The Grand Duchess had actually been in office for only a short time, because not long ago, the Principality of Behemoth was still ruled by Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted, "Don't kill me."

Xius said calmly: "Madam, please lend me the head."

He cut off the neck of the imperial duchess with one sword, grabbed her head, turned around and left without stopping.

Baron Feberly witnessed this scene and was so frightened that he jumped off the top of the city wall, shouting, "Charlotte, save me!"

But no one paid attention to him. Hughes attacked the city only to kill the Grand Duchess, and had no intention of targeting him. Charlotte was entangled with Lady Nansela's army and had no spare time to save the baron. Baron Fei Bolie jumped off the top of the city wall and broke his legs. He lay on the ground and kept wailing.

Hughes led his army, opened the gate of Mostar Fortress from the inside, and rushed out with his troops, shouting: "I have breached Mostar Fortress and killed Grand Duchess Joseph. Long live Lady Nansela."

The Yugoslav Restoration Army, which was fighting a fierce battle with Charlotte's Knights of Favonius, collapsed and fled in all directions just as Hughes left the city.

The morale of the Knights of Favonius suddenly increased. Charlotte did not dare to pursue the defeated soldiers and ordered them to set up the iron barrel formation to prepare to meet Hughes' attack. The Knights of Favonius shrank their front line and formed a series of iron barrel formations, and moved closer to each other. The iron barrel defense formation was an old tradition of the Knights of Favonius. After all, they were originally patrolling troops.

After leaving the city, Hughes glanced at Charlotte from afar, and without paying any more attention to this lifelong enemy, he gathered the Restoration Army and slowly retreated.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. He had no confidence that he could withstand the full-scale attack led by Hughes on the plain. After the Yugoslav Restoration Army retreated, he noticed Baron Feberle, who was wailing until his voice was hoarse, and sent someone to send him to Mostar Fortress.

He himself absolutely did not want to enter Mostar Fortress because he did not want to see his "family".

Charlotte lost more than a thousand people in this short battle, not counting the team taken away by Anastasia.

He was deeply saddened.

Although there will always be casualties in war, we must not let our own people die.

Facing the fallen soldiers of the Knights of Favonius, Charlotte was very sure that she could not be a qualified strategist.

Dubin volunteered to take his own men to do reconnaissance.

About two hours later, when he returned, he brought back Belissa and Anastasia, as well as hundreds of prisoners.

Dupin said loudly: "Mrs. Nansela has retreated." "They climbed up the city wall from the north, but Miss Belissa and Anastasia bit the army behind them. In order to kill the Grand Duchess, Hughes abandoned these people and was captured by us."

Charlotte was silent for a long time, and finally realized that she had been deceived by Hughes again.

Hughes didn't want to duel at all, and even killing the Archduchess wasn't necessarily his goal. His goal was to "withdraw his troops."

As for why the troops were withdrawn? There were two reasons: the logistics could no longer support them, and the war situation had changed, and the South Sela people were needed to continue to serve as cannon fodder.

Charlotte quietly gathered the Knights of Favonius, cleaned up the battlefield, gathered together the baggage left behind by the Yugoslav Restoration Army and the equipment of the dead soldiers, first provided a wave of supplies for the army, and then sent the remaining supplies and the bodies of the dead to Machupi.

When he was on Earth, he read those historical time-travel stories that always required building mausoleums for the soldiers. He never quite understood why it was so troublesome. The Huang family’s ancestral tomb had long been gone, but at this moment, he felt the same way.

In the evening, a baron from Mostar Castle sent someone to invite him into the city. Charlotte took a look at the name and decisively refused.

Not long after, Baron Feboli also sent someone to invite him into the city, but Charlotte still chose to refuse. The reason she gave was that Lady Nansela might attack again, and she had to protect the Baron's peace for the night.

Baron Feberley was deeply moved and sent someone to deliver a batch of food.

Charlotte distributed it directly to her soldiers.

Seventeen or eighteen nobles from Mostar Castle sent invitations, but Charlotte refused them all. She really didn't want to go into the city.
Nothing happened that night. On the next morning, Charlotte was considering whether to leave early. After all, the battle of Mostar Fort was over.

Although the battle started off well but ended badly, Lady Nansela was so aggressive that she surrounded the Fortress of Mostar, but Hughes captured the Fortress of Mostar, but only killed the Duchess and withdrew his troops without even doing any looting.

He heard his subordinates report that someone came to visit and claimed to be his brother.

Charlotte sighed, she really didn't want to have anything to do with the past, nor did she want to see her "relatives", but she couldn't avoid them.

He first met his brother, Mycroft Mecklen, and his wife, Winnie Mecklen, who had taken her husband's last name after marriage, in a military carriage.

Charlotte's brother is seven years older than him, and is in the prime of his life. As a very successful businessman, he has a slightly cunning temperament, but he has extremely complicated feelings towards his younger brother. Apart from being admitted to university, Charlotte was quite unsuccessful when she was young.

Winnie's feelings were more complicated than her husband's. Her original name was Winnie Martin.

That’s right, Charlotte’s sister-in-law is actually Sylvie Martin’s sister. She had promoted the marriage between Charlotte and Sylvie, but later Charlotte did some very dishonorable things. Sylvie was furious and wanted to cancel the engagement many times. It was Winnie who persuaded her sister.

In the end, Sylvie successfully broke off the engagement.

Charlotte also staged a prodigal son return...
