The First Magic World War

Chapter 400: 372, goodbye, Julian

Charles said, “Herolf, go move that Byron sniper and the stuff on him over here.”

Although it wouldn’t take much effort for Charles to go there himself, why not use such an excellent labor force like the Old Goat?

The Golden Ram Herolf was unhappy in his belly, but he flew over and moved the middle-aged officer from Byron over.

Charles grabbed the Super Long-Range Repeating Alchemical Rifle from him and inspected it briefly. He couldn’t help but marvel; this rifle had a longer range than his Anti-Space Sniper Rifle and the Silver Rhinoceros, the effective range of the Anti-Space Sniper Rifle being three thousand seven hundred peimi, while the Silver Rhinoceros only had a range of over two thousand peimi. Comparable to the range of his two Rattlesnakes, all reaching over four thousand five hundred peimi at the farthest, it wasn’t a weapon that could be handled by anyone other than an Extraordinary Gunner.

In the measurement standards of the Old Continent, one peimi is approximately one point fifteen Earth meters!

The Byron sniper had fired several shots just now, and he only had twenty-three Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullets on him. Charles estimated that snipers from Byron probably all carried thirty Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullets, a few may have carried about fifty, and there wouldn’t be more.

...

This middle-aged officer from Byron had some other miscellaneous items on him, which Charles didn’t touch. According to the standard practices of war, he collected them in case relatives wished to claim them after the war, which would make it easier to send back.

After collecting these Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullets and the Super Long-Range Repeating Alchemical Rifle, Charles became a bit concerned about Anatasiya. He had left everyone else behind to manage his jurisdiction this time, only bringing this daughter of a certain baron. Anatasiya originally was a Second-Order Transcendent, but after many years of following him around, she had made rapid progress. Charles wasn’t quite clear what Extraordinary Rank she was at now, but he estimated that no matter how much she had improved, it was still very dangerous for her to be targeted by Byron snipers.

He also didn’t know how many Byron snipers might be in the Red Dragon Strait, but he still decided to initiate a sweep to prevent these snipers from coming and going as they pleased.

Charles went to find Black Dragon and Qiudelo, asking the two to select suitable Beastman warriors and dispatched five or six dozen combat squads.

That night, while Charles was cultivating Bloody Glory, a sudden premonition of danger arose, and he drew his Red Rattle Tail Snake and leaped up, breaking through the window to arrive on the streets of Red Cliff City. From a distance, he saw a young man, whose Super Long-Range Repeating Alchemical Rifle was pointed at him.

Charles suppressed the muzzle of the Red Rattle Tail Snake and said, “Julian, we meet again.”

The young genius from Byron cracked a slight smile and said, “Can I choose not to fight this time?”

Charles silently put away the Red Rattle Tail Snake, and Julian also slung the Super Long-Range Repeating Alchemical Rifle over his back, saying, “Yu Lian was my shooting instructor, he always led me since I joined the army. May I take his body back?”

Charles nodded and replied, “Tomorrow I’ll have someone send his body twenty kilometers outside the city. You can transport it yourself.”

War is war, and friendship is friendship!

Charles could clearly delineate the two.

Having achieved his goal, Julian seemed to revert back to his original chatterbox self, prattling on, “I joined the Infinite Sniper Battle too, and I’m responsible for these eleven cities of the Red Dragon Strait.”

“I’ve scouted around and found there aren’t any valuable assassination targets in these cities.”

“Hmm, you have a female subordinate, I recognize her. It’s Anatasiya, right?”

“……”

“Originally, I wanted to ambush you myself, but Yu Lian went ahead without telling me, trying to assassinate you…”

“Sigh! You’ve improved again, huh!”

“Let me tell you some good news, I’ve also advanced to the High Order.”

Meeting an old friend on the battlefield stirred some feelings in Charles, and he didn’t find Julian’s babble annoying, but rather felt a sense of closeness. They had only chatted briefly when the Golden Ram Herolf, Black Dragon, and Qiudelo arrived one after the other. Seeing the three Beastman Sacred Order, Julian was instantly shocked and exclaimed, “You have Sacred Order too?”

“Have all the Sacred Orders of the Beastmen pledged allegiance to you?”

The Old Goat couldn’t help but say, “I am not a Beastman.”

Julian hurriedly said, “Alright! You are not a Beastman.”

Charles stopped the defensive Old Goat and said, “Leave the Red Dragon Strait!”

Julian glanced at the three “Beastmen” of the Sacred Order and, unable to understand why there were Beastmen who did not want to admit their own kind, whispered, “You already have three of the Sacred Order, I can only lead my men to leave now.”

“Actually, I came here today to bid you farewell; I’ll be leaving the troops in a few days to embark on a mission to the Lionheart Dynasty.”

“Who knows if we will have the chance to meet again after the war ends.”

Charles thought to himself, “If I had agreed to the Augusladin High Priest, maybe we could meet again in a few days.”

Julian looked up at the moonlight and suddenly fell silent, gave Charles a slight nod, and then left.

As he watched his good friend disappear into the night, Charles said lightly, “Follow the corpses and send a batch of supplies as well. Place them twenty kilometers away.”

He hoped that his good friend would be able to leave the battlefield and shine in the role of a diplomat.

With Julian about to leave with his men, he also breathed a sigh of relief; those snipers from Byron were just too troublesome, and even the Sacred Order couldn’t protect everyone.

However, that Julian was going to be sent to the Lionheart Dynasty didn’t come as a surprise to Charles. The last time he went to Inglima with the Augusladin High Priest, Julian left the delegation from Fars and clearly took on a new identity. Charles did not ask Julian what diplomatic role Byron had given him, but he was sure that Julian was definitely capable of handling diplomatic tasks.

After all, Julian was born into the Asiluo Clan, one of the Three Emperor Clans, with a position of prestige and an illustrious lineage.

Moreover, he was equally renowned as Ban Lanmalock and Sophia Garanord, the up-and-comers of the Old Continent.

Well, among the young people under twenty from the Five Great Empires, Miss Sophia Garanord is the most famous.

Ban Lanmalock has yet to enter the battlefield, Julian is still grinding it out as a sniper, while Miss Sophia Garanord has already become the second largest force in the Fars Navy, commanding her own fleet.

Charles wondered whether Julian had brought him some additional “luck”? He soon received a document from Strasbourg, which was a routine imperial dispatch, reporting some recent intelligence from various nations, as well as the movements of Fars.

In this document, it was only briefly mentioned in the corner that Anne Brittany was soon to be sent to the Lionheart Dynasty.

Charles Mecklen in the Red Dragon Strait was suddenly unable to sit still.

What did him care if the Augusladin High Priest was going to the Lionheart Dynasty? He had no intention of serving as an assistant to the High Priest.

If Anne was going to the Lionheart Dynasty, Charles must protect her!@@novelbin@@

How could he possibly let Anne go alone?

Even without any official capacity, he would follow her there.
