first wizarding world war.

Chapter 185 The first thing the enemy did when the war started was to raise the white flag
Hundreds of years ago, Duke Guillaume, the founding Grand Duke of Fars, led his troops across the sea, completed the seventh conquest of the three islands of Inglimar, the third unification, and established the Red Dragon Dynasty. Therefore, the government system of the Inglimar Empire is 80% similar to that of the Fars Empire.

These two captains of the Inglimar Empire Navy were both warrant officers of the 20th grade and 5th level. The older one was about 35 years old, named James Cook, and the younger one was about 27 or 28 years old, named Francis Drake.

Both of them are high-level transcendents, with surging ocean-type fighting spirit, almost as powerful as Anne's cousin Claire Brittany.

The ship they were flying was the latest design of the Ingrima Empire, a large battleship built only in recent years with powerful firepower and superior performance.

Although the overall technological level of the Old World was similar to that of Earth during World War I, because science had never developed, alchemy had risen and it was an extraordinary world. So just as land transportation still relied on horse-drawn carriages, the warships on the ocean were also polarized.

Most merchant ships and ordinary warships were still wooden sailing ships, and the artillery they used was relatively backward, with a range of only a few thousand picometers.

But it is another matter that the five major empires of the Old World, in order to dominate the ocean, spared no expense and used the highest level of alchemy to build large warships.

These alchemical warships already look a bit like the sturdy ships and powerful guns of the World War I era. Most of the hulls are covered with steel armor, and there are at least two or three extraordinary magic alchemical cannons, all powered by magical power sources that Charlotte still cannot figure out, and the speed is more than three times that of ordinary sailboats.

Basically, if the two fleets met at sea, ordinary sailing warships would have no chance of fighting against alchemical warships. Ordinary sailing warships might be sunk by the alchemical warships' magical alchemical cannons before they could get close enough to be within the range of the artillery fire. Given the huge difference in the sailing speeds of the two sides, ordinary sailing warships couldn't even escape.

This is also why, although they were both captains, James Cook and Francis Drake held such high positions.
Francis Drake originally thought that Charlotte was untrustworthy, especially since the other party claimed to be an envoy of the Fars Empire. He even thought that Charlotte was lying, but when six pirate ships appeared on the sea level, all his doubts disappeared.

Francis Drake pulled out a telescope, looked carefully for a while, and cursed: "Damn Golden Goat Fleet, they actually defected to Bairon!"

Charlotte finally let go of her worries and thought to herself, "These two Navy Level 5 Warrant Officers should not have participated in the slave trade. I wonder if Chatham is actually colluding with the local general affairs officer of Inglima."

In this conversation, Charlotte was like walking on a tightrope. Every word he said could lead to a huge explosion. Once a huge explosion occurs, he will have no choice but to fight to the death.

Although he had little chance of winning against the two magic alchemy warships, he also had no confidence in fighting alone against two high-level transcendents.

He now wanted to reward Chatham, the slave trader, and a leader on the pirate ship. Although this man was guilty of many crimes, it did not affect the appropriateness of his appearance at this moment.

Charlotte believed that when she saw this pirate fleet, she was happier than Jia Baoyu was when she saw Lin Daiyu falling from the sky.

What is Lin Daiyu?
Can you eat?
James Cook was older and more stable after all. He gave Charlotte an imperial salute and said politely, "Thank you, Mr. Mecklen, for helping the Ingrima Empire take over the city of Cappadocia and repelling these damn pirates."

"But I have to go to war, so I can't have a deep chat with Mr. Mecklen for the time being."

He gracefully led his men and boarded his own magic alchemical battleship. The magic power source was activated, making a roar, and he headed towards Chatham's fleet.

Francis Drake did not move when he saw James Cook on board. The magic alchemy warship was burning gold pounds every time it was activated. This thing was a real gold-eating monster. Besides, he did not think that an ordinary pirate fleet could resist James Cook's warship.

Francis Drake smiled at Charlotte and said, "Mr. Mecklen, you probably haven't seen a naval battle involving magic alchemical warships, right?" Charlotte replied, "I was originally in the city patrol army, and later transferred to the Knights. This is my first time on the sea, let alone witnessing such an extraordinary naval battle."

"The fact that I was able to see Captain James Cook at sea will be something I can brag about for the rest of my life."

Francis Drake was very suspicious of Charlotte at first, but after thinking that he had misunderstood her, he had a special liking for her. He smiled and said, "Although I am also the captain of a magic alchemy warship, since I became the captain of the White Sea Dragon, I have only experienced three battles in total, and in two of them, the opponent surrendered without a fight."

"Can you imagine? The first thing the other side does when a war breaks out is to raise the white flag."

Charlotte laughed awkwardly and thought to herself, "If I surrender I can still survive, but if I don't surrender I will surely die in the sea."

The five empires have not had a war for forty or fifty years. Apart from the five empires, no country or any force can produce a magic alchemy battleship.

Francis Drake certainly won't face a worthy opponent.

Charlotte chatted with Francis Drake for about two hours, and then James Cook escorted six pirate ships into the port of Cappadocia.

As Francis Drake said, facing such a terrifying magic alchemical warship, the first thing Chatham did after the war was to raise the white flag and request surrender.

When Charlotte saw the six intact pirate ships, her eyes lit up and she said, "I have a humble request. Could you please give me these six pirate ships?"

James Cook hesitated for a moment, but Francis Drake smiled and said, "No problem, they are just six pirate ships, just consider them as destroyed by James in a naval battle."

James Cook smiled helplessly and said, "Okay!"

Charlotte was delighted and immediately invited the two men to the General Affairs Officer's residence and treated them warmly. When the two men went to bed in the rooms arranged by Charlotte at night, they both found a cowhide bag containing a hundred gold medals at the head of the bed.

This money was found in Domingo's residence during a search of the official residence of the general secretary. The total amount was about 3,000 gold pounds. The exchange rate of gold pounds was slightly higher than that of ecu, and its purchasing power was approximately equivalent to RMB 21,000.

Charlotte's small gift made the two naval officers very satisfied. The next morning, they both praised Charlotte highly. After staying in Cappadocia for two days, they left the city without saying anything about Charlotte's temporary management of Cappadocia.

They just stopped to replenish water, and such matters were not the responsibility of the navy.

If Charlotte had not been sensible, they would have taken her away, but Charlotte's performance was so outstanding that they turned a blind eye.
