first wizarding world war.

Chapter 396: His Majesty Julius Axel Rebelled ( words, monthly vote requested)

Well, Julius Axel VI suddenly rebelled!

When Charlotte received the document, she was completely confused. She couldn't understand it. Didn't the Count of Brittany clearly say that the emperor was dying?
How come this old guy can still rebel vigorously?

Besides, what kind of rebellion could he, an emperor, possibly engage in?
Since ancient times, has there been any emperor who rebelled?
The message conveyed in this document was very crude, without any process or corresponding details. It only mentioned that the matter also involved Prince Redmir Axel and Duke Mosred.

Charlotte immediately wanted to go back to Strasbourg to see what the emperor's rebellion was all about.
But reason told him that there was probably a bloody storm in Strasbourg at the moment, and who knows how many people would die, so he should not make things difficult for himself.

What's more, the place with the most Fars Holy Orders has never been the Felanden front, but Strasbourg. Why would a small high-level extraordinary person like him join in the fun!

Besides, Mademoiselle Anne de Breton is not in Strasbourg!

Speaking of this, Charlotte admired the Count of Brittany's foresight.

If Anne returned to Strasbourg, he would rush back to "save the beauty" no matter what, and would bring all the orc troops with him.

At this moment, Charlotte missed Domitian a little. The old leopard man was proficient in the beast god transformation technique and could change into a thousand shapes. He was also a saint and his agility was unparalleled in the world. He was the most suitable person to gather information. Unfortunately, Domitian and Shabastini had already returned to senior sister Menilman.

Charlotte had also thought about setting up an intelligence system, but this thing really requires professional talents, and this kind of talents does not exist in this world. The merchant group under his command is not as convenient as newspapers in transmitting information, so he can only sigh in despair at this time.

Just as Charlotte guessed, Strasbourg was in chaos at this time.

The battle outside the palace was coming to an end. Six or seven saints were fighting fiercely in the sky. A noble man in his fifties with a graceful demeanor was striding into the palace. He complained to a man in full armor beside him, "Duke Mosred, we have been delaying for too long!"

"Three days! It took us three full days to capture the palace!"

"Fortunately, we transferred a few old guys away in advance and blocked the news. Otherwise, if anyone came out and made a call, we might have failed."

The man he called Duke Mosred spoke in a slightly muffled voice from his armor, but full of confidence, "Prince Redmire, we won! Don't worry about the details. As long as you kill Julius and declare him a traitor, and ascend the throne as Axel VII, the matter will be settled."

The two chatted as they strode into the bedroom.

There were Royal Knights lying on the ground everywhere along the way. Almost all of them died in the battle. Many of them had several weapons stuck in their bodies, and some of them had traces of Demon-Breaking Armor-Breaking Bombs on their bodies. It was difficult to keep the body intact after being hit by this kind of alchemical bullet, and the death would be more miserable.

Old Emperor Julius Axel, still sitting on the throne, looked at his brother who had broken into his bedroom, his eyes full of sadness, and asked, "Can't you wait any longer?"

Prince Hongmier Axel smiled and said, "It's not that I can't wait, I am very patient, but I am still afraid that in the end, it will not be me!"

"You also know that I am only fourth in the succession list, with three nieces and your son ahead of me!"

The old emperor sighed and asked, "Will you kill them?"

Hongmier Axel replied calmly, "Why not? Brother, you and I both understand the principle of eradicating the roots."

The old emperor angrily slapped the armrest of the throne and shouted, "They all call you uncle!"

Hongmier Axel smiled and said, "I will allow them to call me uncle in the future, but... they probably won't do that anymore."

The prince drew the rapier from his waist. A strange light burst out from the rapier, like a spirit snake. He thrust hard and pierced the old king's body.

Julius Axel raised his hand slightly, wanting to stop it all, but he was too old and his strength had declined drastically. A few years ago, the old emperor wanted to be promoted, so he took an extremely precious potion. However, due to his physical decline, he not only failed to be promoted, but was backfired by the potion. Since then, his body has been in bad shape, and he can no longer mobilize the power in his body. He watched helplessly as his body was pierced.

Redmire Axel waved his hand vigorously and cut his brother in half. He looked at the old emperor with an expression of disbelief on his face and said to Duke Mosred beside him: "It's over! We succeeded."

"Then all I have to do is kill those children and my dear sister-in-law."

"What a pity! If she were a few years younger, I could let her continue to be the queen."

Duke Mosred whispered, "You still need some time, and you need to withstand the doubts of those people."

Hongmier said confidently: "There are only more than ten people who will question me, Brittany, Galannod, Robin, Axel, D'Artagnan, Su Mei..."

"Duke Mesu has already rebelled, so there's no need to worry about it!"

“They will all support me!”

"I have already sent letters of marriage to Count Brittany and Count Sophia Galanold. As long as they agree, their daughter will be my queen. I believe they will not be able to refuse this temptation."

"I originally wanted to send the same letter of appointment to Count Su Mei, but I don't think that old man can handle Menilman. Besides, this first rose of the empire has too many thorns. Let's find another way."

Duke Mosred couldn't help but remind him, "There is only one queen."

Prince Hongmier Axel said nonchalantly, "This is competition! Competition!"

"It will make them work harder to please me."

When the two talked about this matter, no one thought about Charlotte. Naturally, they would not mention it. To these top nobles, Charlotte was just a lowly merchant's son and was not worthy of any attention at all.

Among the saints fighting in the sky, four landed on the ground, and the others, after sensing that the emperor's breath had disappeared, chose to withdraw from the battle and left the palace.

These holy ranks are loyal to themselves first, their families second, and the emperor last.

They have tried their best to fight to the last breath.

Well, it was the last breath of Emperor Julius Axel VI!
Hongmier looked at the four holy subordinates with confidence and shouted, "Kneel down! Be loyal to your new emperor!"

The four holy orders and teams of black-armored warriors knelt down, and Redmir Axel, full of confidence, kicked his brother's body away and sat on the throne.

After a while, a general walked into the bedroom, knelt on one knee, and said, "Her Majesty the Queen has fled to the residence of the Count of Brittany. Your son, Sir Midaphis, demanded that the Count's residence hand over Her Majesty the Queen, but the Countess refused."

Hongmier smiled slightly and said, "Go and make it clear to the Countess that I will not kill the Queen, nor will I embarrass the Breton family!"

The general did not move. Hongmier was in a good mood and asked, "Why don't you go?"

The general replied in a low voice: "Sir Midafos broke into the Earl's mansion and killed the Countess and Her Majesty the Queen!"

There was a moment of silence in the bedroom, and even if a needle dropped on the ground, everyone might hear it.

Duke Mosred couldn't help but ask, "Why would Midaphis do this?"

"Wouldn't this force the Count of Brittany to rebel?"

Hongmier's face turned pale, and he immediately shouted, "Send someone to bring that idiot back to me."

Soon, a handsome young man with blond hair but a sinister temperament followed several of his men into the bedroom. When he saw Redmire Axel sitting on the throne, he immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Congratulations, father. Your dream has come true. You have inherited the throne of Fars."

Hongmier was praised and felt a little proud, but then he angrily cursed: "Why did you kill the wife of the Count of Brittany?"

Midaphis said calmly: "She is my cousin, the second heir to the empire!"

"You're going to kill her sooner or later. What's wrong with killing her sooner?"

Hongmier wanted to kick his son, but he stretched out one leg and then retracted it.

Antonio is the strongest man in the future empire, and Midaphis is recognized as the most favorable competitor for this title.

Hongmier's journey in the realm of the supernatural was not smooth. Although he had the resources of the royal family, he was only a high-level supernatural, and he could not beat his own son. Midafes was unruly and would really rebel. He did not want to become the emperor of Fars and then be beaten by the prince.

If Charlotte were standing here and witnessing this scene, she would definitely use one sentence to sort out the relationship between the father and son.

Well, this is Nezha!
Hongmier suppressed his anger and shouted, "We will kill that woman sooner or later, but not now. We have to wait until I sit firmly on the throne, then we can slowly deal with this matter."

Midaphis said coldly: "He has been killed!"

Hongmier's face became hot, and a surge of anger rose to his head. He felt that he would die at the hands of his son sooner or later, and he couldn't help but curse, "Asshole!"

Duke Mosred could only ease the situation and say, “Your Majesty, it’s a matter of urgency.”

Hongmier was terrified and shouted, "Go and call all the nobles to the palace! Also bring the families of those people to the palace. We need these hostages for what we are going to do."

Prince Redmire's Private Knights and Duke Mosred's Private Knights replaced the Royal Knights and ran rampant in Strasbourg, constantly arresting opponents and forcing the nobles to take sides.

Strasbourg began to bleed from the day after Redmire Axel captured the palace and killed the old emperor. Every day, the nobles were hanged with their entire families. Sometimes, the knights of the two rebellious leaders could not wait for the trial and killed people directly in the streets and plundered the nobles' private property.

Both of Charlotte's private residences were broken into by the Duke of Mosred's knights. Lady Nancy and Lady Plum Sauce were arrested and thrown into prison. No. 221B Baker Street in Val d'Oise was turned upside down. The two knight's lances that Anne hung on the wall to declare her sovereignty were stolen, and even the magic oil painting was taken away.

This bloodshed lasted for two whole weeks!

Charlotte finally got the exact news. When she knew that the old emperor was killed by his brother and Prince Redmire Axel was declared to have ascended the throne, she didn't feel anything. But when she heard that Midafis Axel broke into No. 58, th Avenue, Val d'Oise, and killed Her Royal Highness the Queen and the Countess, who was the eldest daughter of Julius Axel VI, the mother of Anne of Brittany, and the sister of Princess Axel...

He knew that things were out of control. Charlotte had imagined that one day she would be able to meet her "mother-in-law" and do everything she could to please her, so that she would agree to marry her daughter to her and preside over the wedding for her, but now that day would never come.

He didn't know how sad Anne would be, how angry the Count of Brittany would be, or how furious Antonio would be, but he knew one thing: he had to take sides.

Without any hesitation, Charlotte sent hundreds of documents to the whole country of Fars, declaring Prince Redmir Axel a rebel and that she would send troops to attack him and avenge the old emperor.

Although he was treated with indifference by the monarch, Julius Axel never made things difficult for him deliberately. It was just that his promotion was not strong enough. The old emperor could still be called a good monarch.

Of course, Charlotte did not raise an army for the emperor, she could only stand on the side of the Breton family!
Charlotte not only mobilized the elite orcs from the eleven cities in the Red Dragon Sea, but also mobilized the Knights of Favonius in South Seraf, Behemoth and Machupi, and took four holy subordinates with him, and headed straight for Strasbourg.

Black Dragon thought about stopping Charlotte, but in the end he could only sigh and give up persuading her.

Qiu Delu was trapped in the magic contract document and could not resist Charlotte's will at all.

The two orc saints never thought that the orc army would attack Strasbourg for the second time. What’s more, the last time they acted after careful planning, but this time it was completely “impulsive”.

The Golden Goat Hrolf had nothing to say, but when Vigo heard the news, he was shocked. He thought that joining the Yugoslav Restoration Army was already a rebellion, but he never thought that it could be a bigger rebellion?
This is a direct rebellion against the emperor!

Although Redmir Axel usurped power and has not yet been recognized by the whole country, he is still the current emperor of Fars.

Vigo had no chance to hesitate at this moment. He was taken by Charlotte and killed all the way from the Red Dragon Strait to Strasbourg.

Charlotte used to have to take some measures into consideration, but this time she had no scruples at all. Every time she captured a city, she would turn the city into a maze and force the nobles in the city to take sides. All the nobles who refused to join would have their entire families sent to Cappadocia and all their properties would be confiscated!
Because of this tactic, every time Charlotte captured a city, his military strength expanded. He pushed forward and conquered more than 40 cities. When he was 200 kilometers away from Strasbourg, he met up with the Knights of Favonius who had come from Yugoslavia, Behemoth, and Machupi. His military strength expanded to a huge number of 600,000 in one go!
The whole of Strasbourg was shaken wherever the troops went.

For the first time in her life, Charlotte led her troops to attack the city of Strasbourg!
He always felt like he was home before, but this time the experience was completely new and unfamiliar. Before he could even sigh in admiration, three rays of light descended from the sky.

Charlotte waved her hand, and the Black Dragon, Qiu De Luo, the Golden Goat Hrolf, and the Flame Paladin Vigo flew into the air, but the three rays of light did not take action. The leading knight shouted, "I am Cresto of the Royal Knights, and these two are Aspros and Regulus of the Royal Knights. We are loyal to His Majesty Julius Axel."

When Vigo heard these three names, his heart trembled!
Heilong and Qiu Delu were in mixed feelings.

Because these are the three captains of the Royal Knights, one chief and two vice-chiefs.

Crestor was a 23rd level Glorious Paladin. When the orc army besieged Strasbourg last time, he single-handedly attacked and defeated the King of Ten Thousand Lions, Amisfidas. Although the situation was special at the time and Amisfidas had no fighting spirit due to the defeat of the army, it was still a brilliant achievement for the leader of the Fars Royal Knights.

Aspros and Regulus are both level 22, and are as powerful as the Black Dragon, Chiudero, and the Golden Goat Hrolf. They are considered to be the top fighters among the Saints.

Just as Charlotte was about to say something, the Whisper of Fate made a breeze-like sound to remind him to use - Joy of Fate!

Charlotte followed suit and immediately prayed silently to the Serpent of Fate: "You who swim in the long river of time, know all mysteries, master extraordinary rituals, and rule the Court of Fate! I am willing to pay three times the joy of fate to gain the favor of fate."

After he finished reciting this sentence silently, he heard a soft laugh, and it seemed that the world was slightly different.

Charlotte said loudly: "I am Charlotte Mecklen! I am here to avenge Julius Axel. I ask the three paladins to temporarily..."

"Be loyal to me! Until the false king is killed and Fars is restored to the right track and returned to the hands of the true king with the blood of the Axel family flowing through his veins!"

Cresto, Aspros and Regulus fell to the ground together. They failed to stop Redmir from killing the emperor and escaped from Strasbourg. They didn't know where to go.

When they received the news that the first army had arrived outside Strasbourg, they rushed over. Charlotte asked them to pledge allegiance in the name of Julius Axel's revenge. The three paladins thought it was okay, and knelt on one knee together, saying, "We are willing to pledge allegiance to Charlotte Mecklen until the day when the crown of Fars returns to the hands of the true king with the blood of the Axel family flowing in his veins!"

Both parties felt there was nothing wrong with this "short" vow.

The boy's laughter rang in Charlotte's ears again. He must be in a very happy mood. There was even a silver snake tail that stretched out from the long river of fate and patted Charlotte on the shoulder.

Charlotte didn't think so much about it. The sudden loyalty of three powerful saints, even though it was only "temporary", still lifted his spirits.

The last time Charlotte fought such a rich battle was the last time, but not all the saints who participated in the battle were his men. There were Antonio from the Brittany family, Sister Karen, five saints, and two subordinates of Senior Menilman.

Now these seven saints are all his subordinates, although three of them are "temporary".

Charlotte waved her hand for a moment and said, "Let's attack the city now!"

Cresto immediately said: "We are willing to be the pioneers!"

Charlotte agreed immediately. He had seven saints and thought he was not afraid of any enemy. Moreover, he had too many soldiers along the way and it was difficult to supply materials. He could not fight a protracted war and needed to end it quickly.

Charlotte was arranging her troops when she saw more than ten rays of light appear in the sky above Strasbourg, and she was shocked.

In the light, the blond Midaphis looked like a god. He looked at Charlotte with contempt and shouted, "Charlotte Mecklen, you are the son of a merchant, how dare you disobey the new emperor?"

"After I kill you, I will exterminate the entire Mecklen family, leaving no one alive."

Midafes' words made dozens of "Mekelens" who were on their way to school suddenly feel a chill on the back of their necks.

Well, the last name Mecklen is much more dangerous than the last names Robin and Axel.

Charlotte raised her hand and pointed, asking, "Who among you can beat him?"

The old goat shook his head first. He was really no match for Midaphis.

The old goat couldn't do it, nor could the black dragon and Qiu Deluo. Just as Charlotte was about to call for an attack, she saw Cresto step forward and shout, "Midaphis, it's not too late for you to turn back now!"

Midaphis grinned coldly and said, "I killed Brittany's entire family. Do you think I can still stand with you?"

Cresto was speechless for a moment. The two top saints turned into light and collided fiercely. Both of them were 23rd-level Glorious Paladins. When they moved, brilliant light was emitted, illuminating the sky like daylight.

The sky was already slightly dim at this time, but the battle between the two Holy Knights was as fast as fireworks blooming all over the sky, extremely gorgeous, like a celebration.

But almost everyone watching the duel knew how dangerous this duel was!

Charlotte knew that it was Midaphis who killed the Queen and the Countess of Brittany. She couldn't help but take out the Blood Spirit Rhinoceros, handed it to the Black Dragon, and said, "Use this thing to hit that guy!"

Black Dragon caught the bullet and was slightly surprised. He thought to himself, "The head of the Mekelun family actually has such a holy weapon?"

Qiu Deluo, who was standing next to him, had tears in his eyes. He remembered that he once had a holy weapon.

"Damn it! If I had the dragon-beating stick in my hand, why would I be afraid of a mere Midaphis?"

"I don't know if I will be able to touch the dragon-beating stick in my lifetime."

Decades ago, the Fars Empire had three heroes and five strong men. The three heroes were Count Brittany, Count Galannod and Princess Axo, and the five strong men were Grand Duke Robin, Duke Mosred, Grand Duchess Mesu, Cresto and Midaphis.

Among them, Midaphis is the youngest, and Cresto is a few years older than Midaphis.

The two youngest members of the current top five are already stronger than the other three and are strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Count Galannod and Princess Axo.

The Black Dragon secretly gathered his bloodthirsty fighting spirit and with a clear shout, the Blood Spirit flew out like lightning, with much greater power than in Charlotte's hands.

Midafoss, who was fighting fiercely with Cresto, suddenly became alert. He shook the knight's spear in his hand, knocking Blood Rhino away.

The Black Dragon silently controlled the Blood Spirit Rhino, causing this holy-level extraordinary weapon to fly all over the sky, which indeed played a disruptive role.

However, Midafeth was not a stubborn person. He shouted and named a Saint, who stopped the Blood Rhinoceros. After all, the Blood Rhinoceros was not a weapon of the Black Dragon. He could not control it as smoothly as Charlotte, the real owner. Moreover, this thing was different from all the weapons in this world. The old lizard man didn't know how to play with it, and was actually blocked by the Saint.

Both sides continue to invest in holy levels, and the battle becomes more and more fierce!

At first Charlotte was a little worried. After all, the number of Saints brought by Midafoss was far more than that of his side. But he soon felt relieved. Except for the relatively weak Fire Paladin Vigo, the Saints on his side were generally stronger, and he actually had a slight advantage.

More than twenty rays of light flowed across the sky. This battle was the largest holy-level battle Charlotte had ever seen in her life. The Battle of Felanden was no more than this. Every holy-level person displayed his best strengths, because this battle might be even more brutal than a war between two countries.

When two countries are at war, it is possible to accept surrender, but a war for the throne definitely won't happen.

Charlotte watched the battle of the Holy Steps in the sky for a while, then silently urged the army to start attacking Strasbourg!

Strasbourg is indeed one of the largest cities in the Old World, and its defense is quite strong. The private knights of Prince Redmire and Duke Mosred are also quite powerful. The two sides fought fiercely for several hours and were still at a stalemate.

Charlotte held the Collapse Mountain and went into battle himself, killing seven transcendents in succession, but he still could not stabilize the situation. He saw that if the fierce battle continued, the losses would be too great, so he had to order a withdrawal.

However, Charlotte lacked the experience of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops. Although he knew his shortcomings and had always divided the Knights of Favonius into teams of fifty people, each general had a larger team directly under him. Normally, they could fight on their own without command, but that didn't work at this time.

While Charlotte was ordering his troops to retreat, he saw that many troops were still fighting, so he had to lead an elite team to rescue them personally. After repeated attacks for several hours, he was able to barely withdraw more than 90% of the troops.

Charlotte had just commanded the army to retreat more than ten kilometers and reorganize the army. He was very busy when his subordinates reported that the Count of Brittany was coming with the Knights.

Charlotte was overjoyed, but when he brought the Count of Brittany to the chaotic camp, he was shocked. The old Count looked haggard, his spirit was declining, and he looked absent-minded. He no longer had any indifference, nor did he have the demeanor of the strongest man in the empire.

The Count of Brittany was heartbroken!
