first wizarding world war.

Chapter 311 The Opening of the Flesh Grinder ( words today, please give me a monthly ticket)

The old goat was actually there the whole time, but he was dumbfounded and did not react to Andreas's assassination. If the old leopard was not there, he would definitely take action, after all, they had signed a master-servant contract, but since the old leopard was there, he had no interest at all, and Charlotte would not die anyway.

Charlotte thought that with the golden goat Hrolf and Domitian, Sedona would be safe. Little did he know that Andreas came over and deduced an "extremely important" piece of information, which stirred up the battle situation in Sedona.

Even if Zhuge Liang traveled to another world, he could not have guessed that the youngest Saint of the Black Phoenix Dynasty was so "neurotic".

On the third day after Andreas' assassination, two saints came to Chloe's camp. One was Constantine's deputy Monsen, and the other was Baron Dakis of the Empire!

As the two men floated in the air and observed Sedona, Charlotte realized something was wrong, although she realized it a little later.

Three Saints came to the small town of Sedona in South Seraf...

Charlotte quickly made the same judgment as Andreas that the Black Phoenix Dynasty was going to launch a war in this direction.

However, he and Andreas are completely different kinds of people. Andreas concluded that Fars would attack in this direction, so he reported it to the military of the Black Phoenix Dynasty and requested more reinforcements.

Charlotte had previously judged that Andreas appeared by chance, so she asked Menilman for help, but when he judged that the Black Phoenix Dynasty might launch an attack in this direction, he immediately decided to withdraw from Sedona without any hesitation.

He said to the golden goat Hrolf: "You also go to heaven, and don't fight with the other side."

At the same time, he said to Domitian: "Please also float up to the sky and confront the opponent's holy steps, but there is no need to fight. I want to withdraw the Knights of Favonius."

Domitian didn't quite understand. The old leopard asked, "The old goat and I are teaming up. The other two guys are no match for us. Why should we retreat?"

Charlotte whispered, "Is this how you orcs fight? No wonder the Battle of Strasbourg wiped out all the orc elites."

"The enemy only has two Saints right now. They are no match for you and Hrolf. But what if they send more reinforcements?"

Charlotte mentioned the Battle of Strasbourg, which made Domitian look unhappy. The old leopard replied: "We can talk about it later!"

Charlotte sighed and said, "It will be too late by then!"

It is very difficult to surround and kill the Saint level. Everyone can fly all over the sky. Unless the speed difference is too great and the strength difference is extremely large, they can always escape.

Domitian had the advantage in speed and strength, and with Daohai in his hand, he still managed to hold on until Mommsen appeared.

Even in the worst case scenario, if Sedona was tightly besieged, Domitian, as a master assassin, could easily escape. Charlotte could probably get away with the power of the labyrinth and the infinite mirror world, but the Knights of Favonius could not leave, as he could not bear to lose his fortune.

After Charlotte argued with the old leopard man for a few sentences, she realized that Domitian could not understand at all why she wanted to leave without a fight, so he simply stopped explaining and just gave orders.

Although the old leopard man didn't understand, he still floated into the sky and faced the two saints from the other side.

Charlotte had a very high prestige in South Seraf. When the residents of Sedona heard that the Knights of Favonius were going to retreat, they were reluctant to let go of this army that only fought wars and did not disturb the people, and they all went out of their homes to keep them.

Charlotte ordered the troops to leave faster, and at the same time she loudly announced: "The army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty may attack at any time, and our Knights of Favonius are not enough to protect the people of Sedona."

"If we fight a decisive battle here, the people of Sedona will inevitably be dragged into the war, with heavy casualties! This is something I absolutely do not want to see, so we will give up Sedona and strive for a decisive battle in the wild."

An old man shouted, "Why can't the Knights of Favonius stay in Sedona to protect us?"

Charlotte yelled, "Because I can't protect it!"

"We are just a knight group that was transferred from the local army. We are not good at direct combat."

"The Black Phoenix Dynasty will send reinforcements one after another, but we have no reinforcements, so we can't fight this battle at all."

Immediately someone shouted, "Why didn't we call for reinforcements?"

Charlotte sighed and didn't answer.

Why are there no reinforcements? Who will come to reinforce? South Seraf officially rebelled against Fars and threw himself into the arms of Byron. Now South Seraf's restoration army is still fighting hard for the Byron Empire in Felanden, fighting with Fars' army.

Can we still count on reinforcements from Fars?
Or count on reinforcements from Byron?
Not to mention whether Bairon has the spare capacity to mobilize a troop, even if the Bairon people have this ability, how can they protect Lady Nansela?

As a traitor, the people of Byron looked down on Lady Nansera at all.

Besides, the credibility of the vampires in Byron was quite mediocre. The orcs believed that the Blood Ancestor would appear, and fought a fierce battle with Fars in Strasbourg. As a result, the entire army was wiped out, and several saints died. Hundreds of thousands of elite warriors could not recover for decades.

Charlotte could understand the panic of the residents of Sedona. They were fighting a tacit war, but suddenly the army defending the city was about to withdraw, and they had no one to protect them. However, he would never defend Sedona to the death because of these residents.

Because it makes no sense.

There is a blood feud between the Southrapians and the Behemoths, and both sides want to massacre the other.

But the Black Phoenix Dynasty has no hatred with South Seraf. With the withdrawal of the Knights of Favonius and the arrival of the Black Phoenix Dynasty army, almost no one will die.

But if the two sides go to war in Sedona, at least 10% to 20% of the city’s population will die, and the war will always affect civilians.

Charlotte believed that no matter how he explained it, the residents of Sedona would not accept it. They could only accept that the Knights of Favonius would guard Sedona to the death, and it didn't matter how many soldiers of the Knights of Favonius died.

No matter how high Charlotte's prestige is, it's useless. That's human nature.

Suddenly someone shouted, "What's the difference between you and those Behemoths?"

"You abandoned us when we encountered danger?"

Charlotte still had enough patience to explain, saying: "Fighting in Sedona is just to tie up innocent civilians like you and bear the flames of war together..."

Even though Charlotte had the knowledge of two worlds, he could not suppress the surging public opinion after a while of argument. He changed his mind and said loudly: "If anyone is worried that the Black Phoenix Dynasty's army will hurt you, you can come with us. I will pay for all the travel expenses, food and lodging, and provide protection."

When Charlotte shouted this, the residents of Sedona were finally excited. Many people wanted to go with the Knights of Favonius, and the number of people who signed up enthusiastically reached almost half of Sedona.

Charlotte didn't expect that there would be so many people willing to flee with him, but he didn't want to be like Liu Xuande, who had to make all preparations to lead so many people on the road.

He announced one thing on the spot: "We are escaping, not moving, so try not to carry anything and travel light. The Knights of Favonius will take care of your food and lodging along the way."

"If you are reluctant to part with your belongings, such as your house, land, and furniture, and are afraid that they will be damaged, you can sell them to the Knights of Favonius. When you return in the future, we can buy them back."

"I am willing to trade in cash, in écues, foires, and centims, for everything that cannot be taken away; but of course this is war, and the price will not satisfy everyone."

“You can also choose not to sell!”

Charlotte is very rich, but the golden goat Hrolf and the old leopard man Domitian, who were confronting the two saints of the Black Phoenix Dynasty in the sky, could not understand Charlotte's behavior. In their opinion, this was just "womanly kindness."

Domitian could not help but mutter: "Charlotte is rich!"

The old goat's mouth twitched, his heart was bleeding, and he thought to himself: "That's all my money!"

"He just squandered my money like that? How much are those junks worth? It's a sin to give Écues, Feuilles and Centimes to these ordinary people!" Charlotte's nature is different from that of the people in this world. The society he was born in is a place where everything is commercial and where money is accepted only when it is circulated to have value.

The items purchased by Charlotte will be transported to other cities, such as Cappadocia, St. Michael's City, and may even be sold to other places via merchant ships. The residents of Sedona will get the money, and no matter which city they go to, they will give priority to buying the products provided by Charlotte. After the cycle, wealth will actually increase.

Countless residents of Sedona sold a large amount of various supplies in exchange for cash, and then left with the Knights of Favonius.

Charlotte kept her promise and arranged for all the residents to evacuate to the Principality of Behemoth. Some of them were even sent to Cappadocia and St. Michael's Island.

Some people who originally didn't want to leave couldn't help but be moved when they saw so many people leaving, so they followed everyone and left.

Charlotte did not expect the situation to turn out like this. As more and more Sedona residents chose to leave, his Knights of Favonius could not leave. There had to be a force to maintain order, otherwise these people would immediately fall into chaos, leading to unbearable consequences.

Constantine's deputy Monsen and Baron Dakis of the Black Phoenix Dynasty originally just wanted to observe the situation in Sedona City to facilitate the formulation of strategies. They knew that the Golden Goat Hrolf and Domitian were in the city, and they never thought of attacking.

But the two did not expect that not long after they floated in the air, the Sedona army began to retreat, followed by the residents of Sedona also began to retreat. Neither of them understood what kind of strategy this was?
However, there were two saints on the opposite side whose strength was far higher than theirs. Baron Monsen and Dakis acted rashly and quickly returned to the barracks. They did not discuss military affairs with Chloe and wanted to wait for follow-up support.

The military sense of these two people was obviously very insensitive. Three days later, when Andreas brought his knights to Sedona, the city was almost empty.

Because Old Goat and Domitian were holding back, Mommsen and Baron Dakis did not pursue. For both of them, it was effortless to take a city, so why bother to fight?
When Andreas arrived at the front and heard about this, his face immediately changed and he shouted, "They are clearing the countryside!"

"Everyone and all supplies must be moved away. This must be the meat grinder chosen by the Fars Empire!"

"They want to consume our Black Phoenix Dynasty's army here."

When Andreas shouted this, even Chloe felt that this seemed to be possible.

If the two armies intend to engage in a long-term battle, they will certainly have to evacuate the local residents. These residents will inevitably consume a large amount of supplies in their daily lives, and the army has no way to provide these supplies.

Charlotte's evacuation of the residents of Sedona was just a small temporary move, but in the eyes of commanders with rich military experience, it was definitely a precursor to a major move.

As the front-line commander, Chloe didn't care about other people's opinions. After confirming that Sedona had become a ghost town, he moved into the second largest city in the South Seraf region without hesitation.

He and Charlotte Mecklen had been fighting for several months, but this was the first time they were able to actually capture the city guarded by the other party, rather than just "occupy" it in the documents of both parties.

As Andreas continued to write letters to the rear, explaining his views on the front line, the royal family and ministers of the Black Phoenix Dynasty also felt that Fars might indeed launch a large-scale campaign in South Seraf, and quickly approved the plan to increase troops.

Charlotte led the Knights of Favonius to retreat to the small town of Interlaken. After staying there for a few days, the army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty attacked again. He abandoned the city without hesitation and continued to retreat to the rear.

Because of the previous war, most of the original residents of Interlaken had dispersed, and the residents who returned later were afraid of war, so they retreated with him.

When Charlotte left, she of course took all the supplies with her.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding. One retreated silently, and the other advanced slowly, constantly occupying cities. Soon the war spread throughout South Seraf.

However, this time, the attackers were not Behemoths, but the army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty.

Charlotte also continued to send official documents to Strasbourg, describing the war situation here, but he didn't know how Strasbourg would react.
We just try our best to make sure that this sudden war does not affect the lives of ordinary residents, but how can it not have an impact?
Charlotte continued to evacuate people and supplies to the rear. The Black Phoenix Dynasty army that attacked South Seraf was unable to replenish supplies on the spot, so they soon resorted to some brutal means.

Every day, dozens of South Sela ladies were hanged by the Black Phoenix Dynasty’s army because they refused to hand over their last bit of food.

Charlotte was helpless as there were already more than five saints in the Black Phoenix Dynasty's army. Domitian and the old goat tried their best but could only barely contain them and could no longer fight back.

Just when the Knights of Favonius were about to retreat to the territory of the Principality of Behemoth, Charlotte suddenly received information from the rear that two knight groups were rushing over from the front line.

The army was led by his old acquaintances Claire Breton and Abner Sumey.

Charlotte was not happy to hear the news. Although the two men were very powerful and both were great knights of level 18, it was obvious that they could only give themselves up in a battle dominated by the holy level.

He sent a messenger to deliver the information to the two of them, and also hoped that Claire Brittany and Abner Sumei would not continue to advance but retreat first.

Charlotte soon received a document from Claire, telling him not to worry, they would be there soon. This made Charlotte very anxious, so she sent out several documents in succession.

When Charlotte crossed the border between South Seraf and Behemoth, he was caught up by the army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty. What made him most desperate was that all five saints of the Black Phoenix Dynasty were there, and it was obvious that they were ready for a decisive battle here.

Little did Charlotte know that the Black Phoenix Dynasty's army had long wanted to surround and annihilate him, but he was too slippery, like a fish, always swimming in the gaps of the army.

The army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty chased all the way and finally caught Charlotte's tail with great difficulty.

Charlotte knew that at this time, he could only hope that the Golden Goat Hrolf and Domitian could turn the tables. He did not dare to continue retreating. He deployed his troops on the spot and adopted the defensive iron barrel formation that the Knights of Favonius were best at, preparing to fight with the army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty.

As soon as the two sides formed a standoff, two knight groups rushed over from behind Charlotte.

At first, Charlotte thought that it was the Black Phoenix Dynasty’s army that had surrounded his retreat, but he soon discovered that the two knight groups flying under the banners of Purple Finch and Maple Leaf were actually Clare and Abner who had arrived at the battlefield.

Although the friendly forces arrived in time, Charlotte did not feel that the situation had improved at all. He sent people to invite Claire and Abner while preparing for battle.

He felt that it was a little too late to blame the two for coming here. It would be better to work together and try their best to fight this battle.

Andreas slowly rose into the air. He also saw Fars' reinforcements, which made him more convinced that this time, Fars was going to launch a fierce offensive in the South Seraf region, and the previous retreat was just an attempt to cover up the truth.

It is a common phenomenon in this world for Saints to float in the air and observe the enemy situation.

After all, artillery in this world cannot hit the holy level, and rifles cannot shoot that far.

Charlotte saw this from afar and was about to tell the old goat to go up as well, not to lose momentum, when she heard a clear and sharp voice shouting, "Andreas! I heard that you are the youngest Saint in the Black Phoenix Dynasty?"

A young figure slowly floated into the air, wearing a neat and tidy Fars military uniform. It was Clare, who had a slight obsession with mysophobia.

Charlotte was overjoyed and shouted, "Claire! Have you been promoted to the Saint level?"

Claire Brittany waved at Charlotte from a distance and said with a smile: "So you asked me to step back, but I chose to move forward!"

"Not only me, but Abner has also been promoted."

Charlotte took a deep breath and thought to herself, "War is indeed a time of displacement and harm for many people, but there are always heroes who stand out in such turbulent times."

"Claire and Abner have both been promoted to Saint level. We still have a lot to fight for!"

"I have to arrange a four-on-five strategy."

Before he could figure out who should be put in the tough fight first and win by using local advantage, he heard two scorching air currents colliding with each other in the sky.

Andreas didn't say anything and started fighting with Claire Brittany.
