first wizarding world war.

Chapter 315: Meeting of the Two Kings

Charlotte, Claire, Abner and the Black Phoenix Army fought a fierce battle and each side suffered losses. Fars lost a Saint and a Knight Order, and the Black Phoenix Army lost almost most of its troops. The two sides never started a second battle.

The Black Phoenix Army, without ordinary soldiers, could not maintain the front line and could only retreat slowly.

Charlotte originally wanted to separate from the Black Phoenix Army and retreat back to Behemoth, but Claire Breton would not allow herself to retreat like this and insisted on pressing forward step by step. Charlotte had no choice but to compromise in the end. After the three knight groups re-entered the South Seraf region, they found that the situation was much better and much worse than they had expected.

There were many good things to say because the Black Phoenix Army had lost its lower-level soldiers and could no longer defend the cities they had captured in the early stages. Every time they retreated to a city, they took away the soldiers who had originally stayed there and gave up the occupation.

Charlotte and his men recaptured several cities almost without bloodshed.

The reason why it is much worse is that Yugoslavia is starting to run out of food.

Charlotte evacuated a large number of South Sela people, and also evacuated countless supplies. After the Black Phoenix Army invaded the South Sela region, it became more difficult to obtain supplies from the rear, and they could only collect military rations and other supplies on the spot. Of course, the South Sela people were unwilling to sacrifice themselves, and they also wanted to live. The Black Phoenix Army had no good feelings towards the South Sela people and adopted the most brutal suppression.

Charlotte felt more sad every time she recaptured a city. There were dozens or hundreds of corpses hanging on the walls of almost every city. There were men and women, old people and children. They were all South Sera people who resisted and refused to donate food. Many of them were not unwilling to donate, but they really had no food. Crying could be heard in every city day and night.

Ever since the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the attack by Archduke Joseph who inherited the title of Duke, Yugoslavia has been in constant war and survival has been difficult.

During Charlotte's reign, the people of South Seraf barely managed to make ends meet because they gave up taxation and vigorously developed commerce. But Charlotte couldn't force himself to do something without rice. He was often away from South Seraf, fighting for his senior sister on St. Michael's Island, so the dire situation in South Seraf was not reversed.

This time, the Black Phoenix Army's attack caused the fragile economy of South Seraf and the already barely maintained life to completely collapse.

Charlotte had no choice. He couldn't transport food over because if the war did not stop and he continued to fight with the Black Phoenix Dynasty's army, the situation would become worse. The transported food would only enrich the Black Phoenix people, and these ordinary South Seraf people would not be able to get enough food.

He could only vigorously publicize that for those who were willing to withdraw Behemoth with him, the Knights of Favonius would take care of everything, including food and lodging, as well as the allocation of land and houses in other cities.

Lady South Sela, who had been reluctant to leave, was moved by Charlotte's promise. She already had a high prestige in South Sela, and with the Black Phoenix Army as a comparison, more and more South Sela people were willing to leave their hometown.

These people Charlotte arranged to go to Cappadocia whenever possible.

Cappadocia is located on the island of Goling, which is the second largest island in the Ingrima Empire, but has a very small population. Although there are many mountains, it is not impossible to live there. When these South Serans go there, at least they have a place to live, and trade is well developed there, so it is easier to find a job.

Soon the battle line was pushed back to Sedona.

However, this time it was the Black Phoenix Dynasty's army that occupied the city, while Charlotte's Knights of Favonius, Clare's Knights of Purple Arkham, and Abner's Knights of Maple Leaf were outside the city.

The Black Phoenix Dynasty's army retreated to Sedona and stopped retreating because Sedona had transported countless supplies and was their largest supply base, so they would not abandon these supplies.

Moreover, they gathered the soldiers who occupied South Serafia and became a powerful army again, so there was no need to retreat anymore.

The two sides had several tentative battles outside the city of Sedona. The duel between Claire Brittany and Andreas took place every day. The duels between the two sides were as frequent as those between Charlotte and Chloe.

Charlotte didn't really want to confront here. He didn't know when the Black Phoenix Dynasty's reinforcements would arrive, but he knew they would definitely arrive. It was not certain when the Fars' reinforcements would arrive, and they might not arrive later. But neither Krel nor Abner wanted to give up the recaptured city. They both fought in South Seraf, and the last battle was even named the Brittany Offensive. Krel wanted to avenge his previous defeat and fight a decisive battle with the Black Phoenix Army.

Charlotte had no choice but to cooperate fully.

All he could do was to quietly withdraw the ordinary soldiers and replace them with maze guards.

The maze guards in his command are part orc warriors and part pirates, and a considerable proportion of them are extraordinary, so their combat effectiveness is quite strong.

Charlotte didn't even leave Doberman, Anastasia and others behind, and asked them to retreat to Behemoth.

The battle line was deadlocked in Sedona. In a flash, more than ten days had passed. Charlotte was worried every day, but Claire became addicted to fighting with Andreas. He retreated to the barracks and thought hard, hoping to defeat Andreas the next day.

On this day, Clare rose as usual!
Andreas also took to the air.

Just as the two were preparing to fight as usual, Charlotte saw a scene that she would never forget. Countless clouds suddenly floated in the sky in the direction of the Black Phoenix Dynasty. These clouds were very strange and were actually alive.

Although ordinary clouds also float slowly, they appear to be still when viewed from the ground. If you don't look closely, you can't tell that the clouds are moving.

But these clouds are unpredictable and sweeping, totally different from ordinary clouds.

Charlotte looked at it for a while and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's birds. So many birds form a huge cloud-like monster!"

"what 's wrong?"

Occasionally, huge flocks of birds would appear on Earth, but that was an extremely rare phenomenon, and Charlotte didn't believe that such a thing would appear near a battlefield for no reason.

The old leopard was very experienced. He only took one look and said in a lost voice, "That's not a bird. That's someone's fighting spirit showing. It's a sign of his appearance!"

Charlotte was shocked and asked, "Can this man's fighting spirit cover several miles of sky?"

Domitian said: "There is only one person in the Black Phoenix Dynasty who has such power."

This time it was Charlotte's turn to scream, "Is Viscount Constantine here?"

"How is it possible? Why is he here?"

"This man's fighting spirit is so strong, aren't we doomed?"

Charlotte was, after all, a transcendent at the peak of the middle level, so how could she not know that if those countless birds were the manifestation of Constantine's fighting spirit, it could only mean one thing: even if Clare, Abner, the old goat and Domitian were combined, they would not be a match for this man.
