The First Magic World War

Crazy Horse Davis said in a deep, hoarse voice, "This foolish Byron kid, thinking that with so-called alchemy magic potions, he can control a great pirate."

"Once I capture him alive and torture him with the most cruel punishments, let's see if he can still hold on and not send out the antidote."

His subordinates all burst into raucous laughter, mocking Charles in various ways, with one even shouting, "Look at his delicate skin, we could toss him to Chatham for some fun."

With a raspy laugh, Crazy Horse Davis said, "He is much more foolish than I imagined, to actually think that he can take down St. Michael Island."

"When the fleet of the Golden Goat appears on the horizon, I hope he doesn't piss his pants from fear."

These people brazenly discussed how to send Charles and the six merchant ships into a trap.

With a smile, Charles played the "spectator" not present at the scene, and soon he figured out the plan of Crazy Horse Davis and Chatham. They had colluded with the pirate fleet of the Golden Goat on St. Michael Island to set up an ambush, a pincer attack one-quarter day's journey from Cappadocia City, awaiting Charles's incursion into the surrounded area to strike together. Their warships with firepower far surpassing the merchant ships would even out the disadvantage of lacking a Transcendent.

Charles had to admit the plan was excellent; if he were to encounter it at sea, even as a Transcendent, he wouldn't be able to cross the hundreds of meters to attack the enemy's ships. However, the enemy's ship-mounted cannons could cover his fleet of merchant ships. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

Normally, a Transcendent could only swim over to fight valiantly or use Extraordinary Firearms to retaliate, but the former would be gunned down by rifles at sea. Transcendents are not unkillable, especially in the sea, where most Transcendents can't employ their superior movement techniques, left with no choice but to take it head-on with their Fighting Spirit, inevitably leading to a tragic outcome. As for the latter, no matter how powerful a firearm is, it can't beat cannons.

It could only be said that Crazy Horse Davis, Chatham, and these pirates were indeed adept at naval warfare; their plan was "perfect."

The only thing that wasn't perfect was that the people executing it were too foolish, and their target was a—transmigrator.

These medieval pirates might experience fewer conspiracy and trickery plots in their lifetime than what an Earthling sees online in one day.

Calculating the journey, Charles knew he was about to enter the "encirclement." He immediately called over the Hunchback Red Bear Warriors and broke into the lower deck where Crazy Horse Davis was plotting.

For better control, he chose to be on the same ship as the former pirate.

Crazy Horse Davis, timing the moment, was about to leave the lower deck to find Charles and "offer his plan," luring him into the encirclement. Without his guidance in the vast sea lacking reference points, the two parties might miss each other entirely.

The two men ran into each other at the door of the lower deck. With a smile, Charles asked, "Have you eaten?"

Crazy Horse Davis, utterly confused, failed to grasp the profound meaning of this Eastern greeting and replied, "Not yet! But that's not important, we need to maintain our course, I'm guiding the fleet."

Charles drew his Silver Knight and shot him in the forehead, blowing the head of the former pirate filled with schemes.

The subordinates of Crazy Horse Davis were instantly in an uproar. As someone attempted to resist, Charles slightly sidestepped, and five or six Hunchback Red Bear Warriors stormed the lower deck. After a flurry of punches and kicks, they quickly floored Davis's men and dragged them up on deck like dead fish.

Looking towards the distant sea, Charles said, "I want to circle around to the eastern side of that fleet behind us. Who can guide me?"

A pirate still harboring a glimmer of hope said, "There's no fleet behind us!"

Charles backhandedly fired a shot, exploding the man's head. After asking again and receiving no response, he fired again, killing another former pirate.

The extreme measures immediately caused panic among the remaining pirates, who began to plead, "I know the navigation routes, I can guide, Davis colluded with Chatham, it has nothing to do with us, we are willing to surrender..."

Charles made every Hunchback Red Bear Warrior watch a pirate and then ordered with a smile, "If I say 'Kill!' you twist off the head of the person you're watching, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, after all, it's someone else who dies."

These former pirates were so terrified that they didn't dare slack off, diligently pointing out the navigation routes for Charles's fleet.

Charles stripped the clothes from the dead men and tossed them into the sea. Although he did this with an indifferent expression and a casual demeanor, inside he was in turmoil, feeling very uncomfortable.

His reason told him that if he didn't kill, it would be himself and his friends, along with his subordinates who would die, but his emotions told him that if he continued to kill like this, he would eventually become a monster...

"Life really is full of dilemmas!"

Charles sent Davis's clothes to Cruz, who, after putting them on, stood at the bow of the ship, and Charles had all the merchant ships raise a white flag.

He took out the Anti-Space Sniper Rifle and climbed up the mast, ready to shoot the leader of the opposing side first if things went south.

Of course, even if things went well, he intended to shoot the opposing leader as well.

Soon, five pirate ships appeared on the horizon. Cruz, dressed in Davis's clothes, waved his hands and shouted loudly from the bow of the ship.

Before departure, Charles had secretly held a meeting without Crazy Horse Davis's knowledge, so Cruz knew exactly what to do.

The five pirate ships fired two rounds of cannon shots. Seeing that the merchant ships did not retaliate, they lowered their small boats and sent men over. They quickly returned, and the five pirate ships approached Charles's merchant fleet.

As the two fleets came within tens of meters of each other, Charles waved his fist and exclaimed ecstatically, "It worked."

Honestly speaking, as a math teacher who couldn't even be considered a keyboard military strategist, Charles had no confidence in his own plan. Although he had prepared various contingencies in case of failure, he couldn't compare to the joy he felt at this moment.

Of these five pirate ships, four were converted merchant ships, with only one being a true warship. On the deck of the warship stood a burly bearded pirate. He had a slight look of confusion on his face but was still full of confidence, directing his pirates to prepare for boarding.

Charles pressed down the muzzle of his gun and took a shot at this pirate chief.

The pirate chief never expected to be taken out by a sneak shot.

A normal rifle bullet couldn't penetrate his Protective Battle Qi.

Extraordinary Rifles and Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullets, such valuable weapons, were intended for the assassination of a duke; this pirate chief probably never thought he would be treated the same as a grand duke in his lifetime.

With the sound of the gunshot, the pirate chief was reduced to half a body. Charles's shot was slightly low, blowing away his lower half, and the unsupported upper half fell onto the deck, smearing it with fresh blood.

Charles's gunshot was the signal to counterattack.

Anatasiya was the first to lead her team onto the pirate warship.
