first wizarding world war.

Chapter 371 For the legendary battleship!

As intelligence flew in like snowflakes, Charlotte also learned the reason why Grand Duchess Mesu rebelled.

——For the legendary battleship!
The vampires of Byron played a dirty trick.

They promised Grand Duchess Metsu a legendary warship.

Well, not the Bismarck of Byron!

It is the vehicle of His Majesty Julius Axel of the Fars Empire - the Fontainebleau!

The process of Archduchess Mesu's treason was actually quite long and was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The Empire's army has always been divided into the Royal Knights, the nobles' private knights and local forces. Every country in the Old World recognizes the nobles' private armies as legal. The Northern Fleet has always been a private fleet. Although it obeys the Fars royal family's orders and fights for the Empire, it does not belong to the royal family or the country, but only to the Mesu family.

At its peak, the Mesu family's Northern Fleet was half the size of the Imperial Navy.

But ever since the failure of the exploration of the Raging Sea, the Northern Fleet has been on a downward spiral, reduced to one-sixth of the Imperial Navy.

In the two naval battles, the Mesu family suffered heavy losses. Three of their magic alchemical warships were sunk by the Byrons. Their strength had declined to the point where it was inferior to that of Menilman, a rising star in the Imperial Navy.

If the war continues, the fall of the Mesu family is imaginable!
The Byrons used two magic alchemical warships as a stepping stone to gain the opportunity to have a detailed discussion with Duchess Mesu, and lent out six blood clan saints. In cooperation with Duchess Mesu, they seized the Fontainebleau, the vehicle of His Majesty Julius Axel of the Fars Empire, from Minforst Port, the largest port in Fars!

After taking possession of the Fontainebleau, Duchess Mesu immediately announced a change of flag, brought her own territory, fleet, and the entire population of her family to join Bayron, and announced that Duke Mesu was loyal to Bayron.

From now on, the Duchy of Mesu will be the territory of Byron.

After obtaining two of Byron's magic alchemical warships and snatching the Fontainebleau, the scale of the Northern Fleet may still be far from its peak, but the combat power of the fleet is far beyond its peak period. The Mesu family has completely recovered.

Bairon didn't really need Mesu to join their side, nor did they need the Northern Fleet to join the war. They didn't trust the traitors, but as long as the Northern Fleet withdrew from the war, it would be Bairon's greatest victory. What's more, Duchess Mesu also took away the only legendary warship of the Fars Empire? After taking away the Fontainebleau, Duchess Mesu had no way out and could not return to Fars.

Well, it’s not the only one.

Sophia Galanold also controls the Queen Bee.

It's just that the Queen Bee nominally belongs to Princess Mei, and is not Fars's battleship.

At the cost of two magic alchemical warships, he instigated the rebellion of the Northern Fleet and the Mesu family, leaving Fars without any legendary warships ever again.

This is a more glorious result than a victory in a thrilling naval battle.

At least ten officials who participated in the rebellion of Duchess Mesu were promoted to the top ten positions and had the opportunity to rise to prominence.

Charlotte easily concluded a fact from the battle report: This was the best choice for the Mesu family.

Fighting to the end for Fars, the Mesu family was completely destroyed...

Or join Bairon and restore the family to its peak?
Politics has been like this since ancient times: loyal people sacrifice, patriotic people fight, cunning people gain the final benefits, and those who celebrate in the blood of dead soldiers are often the scum of the world.

Faced with this major event, Charlotte could only sigh.

He had no opinions and nothing to say.

The greatest impact of Duchess Mesu's treason was that Menilman was promoted three times in a row, gaining eight more political identities, from the thirteenth-class Imperial Colonel to the tenth-class Imperial Major General, and a terrifying thirty political identities, which was the kind that readers would not even bother to criticize the word count if it was written into a novel, and would simply abandon the book.

A slightly lesser impact was that Sophia Galanold was also promoted several ranks. Before she even graduated from Strasbourg Rose University, she was already a 24th-class warrant officer, having stepped into an insurmountable class.

With seven magic alchemical warships, hundreds of warships, and two stable overseas naval bases, Menilman became the largest force in the Fars Navy, with unparalleled power and prestige.

The lovely Miss Sophia Galanold only has one ancient magic warship, but it is a legendary warship. She has received full support from her father, Count Galanold, and has a considerable fleet, making her the second largest force in the Fars Navy.

After learning of Duchess Mesu's treason, many naval officers secretly contacted Count Galanold, hoping to join the East Wind Fleet. It's not that Menilman is unattractive, but the Imperial Rose Fleet is too powerful. Joining it now would not even be icing on the cake, but joining Sophia Galanold would be like helping someone in need, not to mention...

After Duchess Mesu rebelled, Count Galanold finally extended his hand completely into the navy, taking over all the military ports of the Fars Empire and part of the navy.

Charlotte watched the changing situation of the Fars Navy in the Red Dragon Strait, and she always had a subtle feeling...

After Duchess Mesu's treason, Fars' offensive on land and sea slowed down slightly. The Fars Empire's war potential had been stretched to its limit and it was a little unable to hold on.

Byron's offensive momentum increased significantly. In the Sea of ​​Giant Whales, they fought several fierce battles with the combined navies of Fars and Ingrima, with both sides winning and losing. Although they have not been able to break through the blockade and regain control of the sea, they are much stronger than after the second naval battle, when they could only retreat to the port.

However, Bayron suffered heavy losses in the two naval battles, especially after sending out two magic alchemy warships. The strength of the Bayron Navy was no longer sufficient to launch any strong counterattack. These naval battles could only be regarded as minor skirmishes, and their scale was far less than the previous two naval battles.

Just when Charlotte thought that she was in the southernmost part of the Fars Empire and would not be involved in the war for the time being, an old friend came to visit her leisurely.

An old friend of Charlotte's who has a deep friendship with her - Grand Priest Augsradin!
Charlotte was also surprised. Why did the high priest come to see her?

The two had a different relationship, so he warmly entertained the High Priest Ogusradin and even gave him several strong young beastmen selected from the elephant, bear, and ape tribes. Since crossing over, Charlotte's moral integrity has been declining day by day, and he is not very resistant to some of the little habits of the High Priest Ogusradin.

Instead, High Priest Augsradin rejected Charlotte's "kindness" with an embarrassed look on his face.

He said righteously that he came here for serious matters.
