Chapter 436: The New Direction of War (asking for monthly ticket)

In front of Charlotte was a map.

He was holding a military meeting at this time, and the backbone members of the Knights of Favonius were attending.

Although this map shows the entire Old Continent, other places are blank, and only the Black Phoenix's territory is densely marked.

Charlotte is a little worried now. How should she fight next?

He had invaded the Black Phoenix Dynasty last time and had also inquired about the distribution of the Black Phoenix's various noble territories, autonomous territories, and directly-administered regions in advance. So after the war broke out, he specifically picked on the weak and captured 28 cities. The land he occupied was more than twice the size of the Earldom of Mecklen.

But next, no matter which place they attack, it will attract nobles from other places to come to the rescue, and every battle may be a tough one. This is not Charlotte's fighting style. He is patiently waiting for the army of the Four-Nation Alliance to launch an attack, or to eat a few more bites first, weighing the pros and cons and hesitating.

The area of ​​the Black Phoenix Dynasty is more than four times that of Fars, but most of the territory is worthless desert. The core territory only has twelve directly-administered counties close to the sea. The area of ​​these twelve directly-administered counties is only one twentieth of the Black Phoenix Dynasty's territory, but they account for more than 70% of the population and have the most developed economy.

In addition to the directly governed counties, the Black Phoenix Dynasty also had 1,106 noble territories and 58 autonomous territories, but no overseas territories or overseas vassal states. The Black Phoenix Dynasty was established even earlier than Fars and Ingrima. When other countries were scrambling for overseas territories and overseas vassal states, it had not yet completed its rise. By the time the Black Phoenix Dynasty was unified into a great empire, the Age of Exploration had already ended.

Black Dragon coughed lightly and said, "We have occupied one and a half directly governed counties and twelve noble territories of the Black Phoenix Dynasty. I think it is not appropriate to launch any more attacks and we should firmly defend the territory we have conquered."

The old lizard man's words aroused the approval of most people.

Although Charlotte tried her best to recruit troops after invading the Black Phoenix Dynasty and incorporated tens of thousands of local Black Phoenix Dynasty troops, she still did not have enough manpower and was stretched to the limit after occupying such a large territory. She could not even send out garrisons to many areas and could only allow the local areas to continue to be "autonomous".

Charlotte shook her head. The Emperor of Brittany had already promised that the divided land of the Black Phoenix Dynasty would belong to him and would be incorporated into the Earldom of Mecklen. If he stopped at this moment, he would feel like he was committing a sin.

There is no way Charlotte would give up her fertile land!

Even infertile land cannot be given to Ingrima, Byron and the Lionheart Dynasty for free!

He was undecided about the next direction of attack, but he openly opposed stopping the attack.

Charlotte shook her head and said, "I must occupy more land, especially the twelve directly-governed counties of the Black Phoenix Dynasty, which are all fertile lands!"

Charlotte clenched her fists and almost wanted to hit me all over the public screen.

He asked again: "Are the four Black Phoenix Saints still not planning to surrender?"

The eldest son, Gareth Mecklen, said, "Father, they are not ready to surrender!"

"I think we should kill one to serve as a warning to others!"

Charlotte also thought that if she killed one, there might be three left, and they would not be so persistent, but she still rejected this inhumane suggestion and said, "Let's stay for now!"

Gareth was really old. Even if he was not sixty, he was almost sixty years old. When he called "Father", almost every saint covered their mouths tightly, for fear of making any noise that should not be made.

They really can't help it!

Seeing that there was no way to continue the meeting, Charlotte could only sigh and say, "That's it for today!"

The military meeting was over, and everyone left in twos and threes, but Gareth stayed. When only he and Charlotte were left in the room, he whispered, "Father, I have a plan."

Sometimes, when Charlotte heard her oldest son Gareth calling her father, she couldn't help wanting to laugh, but she really had to hold it back. He was a loving father! How could she laugh at her only son?

Charlotte tried to hold back her laughter and then said, "Speak!"

He didn't dare to say a few more words for fear of ruining his act!
Gareth pointed at the map and said, "The most valuable land of the Black Phoenix Dynasty is the twelve directly governed counties, but the power of the Black Phoenix Dynasty is also concentrated here. Although we are powerful, it is impossible for us to swallow them all."

"but……"

"Thessa is an exception!"

Charlotte took a look at the map of the Black Phoenix Dynasty and her expression changed slightly. Thessas is an autonomous region that controls the Black Dragon Strait.

The Black Dragon Strait connects the Sea of ​​Giant Whales and the Sea of ​​Rage. After crossing the Black Dragon Strait is the "Northern Border" of the Black Phoenix Dynasty.

In fact, the Mesu family of Fars is not a native noble family of Fars. The Mesu family comes from the North, so the family’s fleet is called the North Fleet!

It is said that the Mesu family has been in charge of a great secret for generations. This secret is closely related to the Raging Sea. Therefore, Grand Duchess Mesu took great risks to explore the Raging Sea, which also weakened the strength of the Northern Fleet. If the Mesu family's Northern Fleet had not explored the Raging Sea, it would have maintained its peak combat power. In the Old Continent, only the Royal Navy of Ingrimar could compete with the Navy of Fars. The navies of Byron and the Black Phoenix Dynasty were simply vulnerable.

But the changes in the world have never been influenced by human thoughts.

In order to explore the Sea of ​​Rage, Grand Duchess Mesu lost the strength of her family fleet. In the naval battle with Byron and the Black Phoenix Dynasty, her strength was further weakened. She had to steal the Fontainebleau and surrender to Byron. Although she retained her strength, her reputation was damaged.

This surrender was enough to prevent the Mesu family from recovering for decades.

The North is the most mysterious land in the Old Continent. Although one can set foot in the North by crossing the Black Dragon Strait, and the Black Phoenix Dynasty has also developed dozens of free territories in the North, and hundreds of nobles have opened up territories in the North, the North is still mysterious and unpredictable to humans.

By allowing Charlotte to occupy Thessa, Gareth was equivalent to controlling the connection between the North and the Old World, which just happened to satisfy Charlotte Mecklen's desire to swallow up more land.

Although... controlling Thessa doesn't mean that we can control the North, but it can be digested slowly.

Charlotte looked at the map carefully several times and was very attracted by Gareth's proposal. She decided to hold a military meeting the next day to discuss how to capture Thessaly.

Charlotte patted Gareth on the shoulder and encouraged him, then changed the subject and asked about his recent practice.

Gareth said in distress: "I obviously have great power, but I just can't use it!"

"I don't know what went wrong."

"Every time I mobilize the power in my body, I have a sense of danger. I will be blown to pieces by this power."

Charlotte nodded to show that she understood. Gareth's current situation was that his soul was broken. Although the soul, no matter how broken, would grow back together as long as there was no further damage, the soul that grew back together would not be the original one.

For example, you break a piece of clay into pieces and then knead it together again. Although it is still the same piece of clay, it is really not the original piece of clay. The position of each grain of sand that makes up the clay has changed.

Although Gareth still has the power of the twenty-second stage of the Saint Stage, he does not have the spirituality and wisdom to control this power, nor does he have the understanding of the family's secret techniques.

A saint, even the lowest level nineteen, can split the sky and the sea, and is omnipotent.

This powerful force, if not controlled by sufficient spirituality, wisdom and secret methods, is indeed enough to blow its owner to pieces.

Of course, Charlotte didn't know the family secrets of Mosred and Gareth. After knowing Gareth's situation, he immediately planted the "Blood Butcher Seed" in his eldest son and encouraged him to practice the Beast God Transformation Technique in advance.

After Gareth complained, he was slightly happy again and said, "I have been practicing the Blood Butcher secret method you taught me. In the past two days, my power seed has been broken and I have awakened the Blood Butcher fighting spirit!"

"And I can also transform into Channing Hayato!"

"My bloodthirsty fighting spirit is about to awaken soon."

"I just don't understand why I have to cultivate two powers at the same time? If I had chosen to cultivate only one, I might have already reached the second level of transcendence."

Charlotte smiled slightly and said, "You should focus your main energy on the Bloody Butcher!"

"I let you practice the Beast God Transfiguration Technique just because I hope you can escape quickly when you encounter danger. After all, Channing Hayato has wings! The last time you were injured in the battle, I was worried for a long time. I don't want you to encounter danger again."

Gareth immediately felt the meticulous care of his "father" and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, father."

Charlotte's loving words of comfort deepened Gareth's feelings for his father.

The power of the Blood Butcher is very overbearing and has begun to devour the power in Gareth's body. If Gareth can successfully practice the Blood Butcher, Charlotte will have an extra saint-level guard. He even thinks that Gareth can activate the original blood boundary by himself!

If you have such a "blood servant" who is proficient in the original blood boundary, you will no longer have to be afraid of various dangers. After all, the original blood boundary can even withstand the magic-breaking armor-breaking bomb. The power of the original blood boundary launched by the holy level will only be dozens of times stronger.

As for letting Gareth practice Channing Falcon, it was entirely Charlotte's own preference. He only recently learned that orcs also had a large category of flying birds, among which Channing Falcon was the fastest flying one.

Charlotte tried to practice the third Beast God Transformation herself, and happened to let Gareth practice it as a reference.

After Charlotte asked Gareth to rest, she looked at the map of the Black Phoenix Dynasty with an overwhelmed heart, unable to calm down for a long time.

The words of the Emperor of Brittany, that he would give him the divided Black Phoenix land, were too tempting.
