The First Magic World War

The administrator of Cappadocia City, called Domingo!

He was handing over "goods" to a fleet – approximately over six hundred recently captured natives of Song Spirit Island.

The Inglima Empire was not established by the natives of the three Inglima islands; people from various countries of the Old Continent crossed the sea to set up more than twenty small kingdoms. Later, one of the founding dukes of the Fars Empire, Duke Guillaume, led his troops across the sea and nominally unified the three Inglima islands.

The three Inglima islands had undergone seven conquests and three unifications. People from various countries of the Old Continent crossed the sea to establish more than twenty kingdoms. The Inglima Empire, now known as the Red Dragon Dynasty, was not established by the natives of the three Inglima islands. It was Duke Guillaume, one of the founding dukes of the Fars Empire, who led his troops across the sea and nominally unified the Inglima islands.

The third Emperor of the Inglima Empire adopted a suggestion from the then Minister of Finance and secretly sold the natives of Song Spirit and Ojibwa Island to the New Continent.

This was a sinister trade route that also caused the residents of Song Spirit Island and Ojibwa Island to increasingly resist the rule of the Inglima Empire.

When Charles stormed into the administrator's mansion, he even deliberately wore a cat mask, thinking that if it were a misunderstanding, he would just turn around and leave since the other party had no proof and couldn't do anything to him.

But as he stormed into the administrator's mansion and saw the natives of Song Spirit Island bound in chains, and some even caged for resisting fiercely, a fire of rage surged to his head.

Domingo, the administrator of Cappadocia City, on seeing a group of people barge into the mansion, thought his slave trading had been exposed and without hesitation pulled out a handgun and fired at Charles.

Chatham, the leader of the slave trade fleet, was originally a pirate and a Transcendent. In the era when Zimmerman Axel Robin roamed the seas, knowing he was no match, he pledged allegiance to the Inglima Empire and did their dirty work out of the public eye.

Having been a pirate and slave trader for many years and having seen countless Transcendents, he recognized Charles's movement technique as soon as he stormed into the mansion and shouted, "It's a person from Baron!"

Baron and the Inglima Empire were competitors in the slave trade, both empires having territories in the New Continent and both desperately needing people to populate those new lands.

Domingo, convinced immediately, shouted, "You people from Baron, do you want to declare war on the Inglima Empire?"

Originally holding Silver Knight, Charles rolled, dodged the bullets fired by Domingo, pocketed Silver Knight under his ribs into the gun pouch, pulled out Hockwell Silver Rhinoceros, loaded it quickly, and pulled the trigger.

Domingo, although quickly promoted, relied mostly on his family background rather than education and ability. He was not even a Transcendent; how could he withstand the Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet?

He was instantly exploded by a shot from Charles.

Seeing Domingo blown apart by a shot, Chatham was greatly shocked. Domingo had always been cautious with him, not allowing him to bring more than twenty people into Cappadocia City. Seeing how formidable Charles was, as well as the sailors who followed into the administrator's mansion, Chatham chose to retreat without hesitation.

After killing Domingo, Charles turned the gun towards the slave trader. Chatham reacted swiftly, firing several shots at the bound natives of Song Spirit.

Charles clapped his hands on his crown and unleashed seven Flame Hands, guarding left and right, blocking these evil bullets, while Chatham seized the opportunity to escape.

Charles stored the Silver Rhinoceros, his heart pounding fiercely, feeling somewhat faint. Although the battle was brief, its impact was profound. He had actually killed an administrator of the Inglima Empire. How was he to explain this action?

Even if the other party was involved in slavery, a diplomat from the Fars Empire shouldn't be dealing with it. Even if he intervened, he shouldn't have been so brutal as to kill an official overseeing a city of the Inglima Empire. That was totally indefensible.

After Domingo died, the guards at the bureaucrat's residence all surrendered, their morale extremely low.

Charles didn't know how to deal with these soldiers from the Inglima Empire, and was worrying about it when a patrol unit burst in. The head of the patrol, seeing Domingo's half-destroyed body on the ground, not only did not attack. Instead, he knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Byron, we wish to surrender."

Charles had expected a fierce battle. Hearing the offer of surrender, he could hardly believe his ears. But the next words of the patrol superintendent made him understand the reason. The superintendent from Cappadocia City, in a calm tone, said, "I am from Spirit Island, and so are my subordinates. If you could take us all with you, we are willing to join Lord Byron."

Charles quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "For now, join my troops. When I leave, I will take everyone with me."

In just half an hour, Charles had succeeded in taking over the bureaucrat's residence, killed the bureaucrat stationed by the Inglima Empire, drove away the leader of the slave ships, Chatham, and had the patrol troops of Cappadocia City surrender…

The development of events was unbelievably fast, incredibly so.

Even Charles, a well-traveled transmigrator, was momentarily at a loss about what to do.

Sometime later, Anatasiya and Belisa hurried over, and only then did Charles find out what had happened from them!

He no longer had the heart to ask Taoles why he had shown them this route.

After all, while he was in the Fars Empire, he could choose to keep a low profile, for this world was just so, but once in the Inglima Empire, Charles could no longer tolerate the trafficking of people.

Especially since it was the Inglima Empire trafficking the natives of Spirit Island.

Charles would stand by the Spirit Islander's side no matter what.

He ordered all the Spirit Islanders to be set free and even asked each one personally if they would like to join his army?

This batch of captured slaves were all young adults, seventy percent were males, and the rest were young females.

Their hatred towards the Inglima people who had captured them was beyond measure; every slave capture was accompanied by bloodshed, and Domingo had directly killed those "worthless" old people and "inconvenient to transport" children; they all harbored deep-seated vendettas against the slave traders.

So, Charles hardly needed to incite them; the over six hundred captured Spirit Island natives nearly all agreed to join his army.

With the guards of the bureaucrat's residence, the patrol troops of Cappadocia City, the captured natives from Spirit Island, plus his own sailors and Westwind Knights fighters, Charles suddenly realized that he now had over a thousand people under his command.

"Do I actually have the physique to explode with soldiers?"

"How did it start with just fifty people before departure, and now suddenly again I have an army of a thousand?"

An idea emanated from the journal in his arms: Charles Mecklen, in his role as the commanding officer of the Cappadocian occupying forces, was combating the slave-trading powers of the Inglima Empire, had fulfilled the requirements for setting the fifth Labyrinth, Cappadocia was about to be Maze-ified, please assemble a fleet, and own eighteen or more mid-sized ships, during this period, one must not leave Cappadocia more than a day's journey away.
