Chapter 250: 244, Congratulations! The Westwind Knights are the first loyalist troops_2
Of course, it wasn’t the real queen from history that he had seen, but the queen performed by Marina Alexandrova.
The rest of the Sheffield University students were actually also exceptional talents, but behind Sophia Garanord, they automatically became the backdrop and followers.
Sophia Garanord solemnly performed a courtly curtsy to Charles and said, “Sophia Garanord thanks Mister Charles Meklen for your rescue. Should you ever need it, the Garanord Family will surely repay you.”
Charles really wanted to ask Taoles what the Garanord Family was all about.
But he held back, as it was not something you ask to someone’s face.

He gave a slight smile and said, “Miss Garanord, don’t fret over it. What I did was nothing more than what any person of Fars would do.”
As soon as Sophia Garanord arrived at Machu Picchu, she knew Charles was no ordinary man. Being able to bring a deserted Beastman dynasty fortress back to life, bustling with twenty thousand people and forming a close to ten thousand strong knighthood…
This was definitely not something an ordinary Imperial officer could accomplish.
Especially when Sophia Garanord met Taoles, she became even more convinced of her speculation.
Charles, according to his official duties, was but a lowly ranked twenty-seventh grade civil servant…
Sophia Garanord thought to herself, “Mister Charles Meklen must want to use this war to advance to a rank above the tenth or even become nobility!”
It was only because there was no rebellion in the Old Continent, after all. In the Old Continent, one could aspire to the Emperor’s position by expanding territories. Duke Guillaume, for instance, took over the British Isles and established the Inglima Empire. The New Continent, on the other hand, had nearly infinite ownerless land. As long as one had the capability, they could take as much land as they wished. Otherwise, Sophia Garanord would surely have suspected Charles of rebellion.
The promise of Sophia Garanord was essentially a kind of political support. Her standing in her own family was much higher than Anne’s and Taoles’s in Brittany and Sumei’s Home, even higher than Krel Brittany’s and Ebner Sumei’s in their respective houses, which is why she could make such a significant promise.
Ah, Mister Charles Mecklen, had no idea what Miss Sophia Garanord had promised.
Taoles, however, caught on and was slightly astonished, but he didn’t disclose anything.
Charles came back to his senses and to be honest, the impact Sophia Garanord had on him was greater than Menilman’s. He couldn’t find a point of reference for Menilman in reality, but Sophia Garanord was just too similar to the Russian actress who played Empress Catherine.
When he first watched that foreign film, Charles’s only thought was: Release my queen!
But after a small shock, he was ready to get down to business and said to Sophia Garanord, “Would you all be willing to temporarily join the Westwind Knights?”
Sophia Garanord answered, “We all are willing.”
Charles nodded slightly and immediately assigned a two hundred-strong battle team to all the students from Sheffield University. These university students were the Empire’s top talents, and it would be a waste not to make use of them.
Charles said, “We cannot confront the Sacred Order, but we cannot do nothing. I plan to strike at those invading Beastmen on the outskirts of Strasbourg.”
“Everyone can rest at Machu Picchu for two days, and we will depart after.”
When Charles returned to Machu Picchu, naturally there were countless things to do. He didn’t go out of his way to entertain his junior fellow students, but not one of the Sheffield University students minded, instead, they all felt that this senior had a bit of the dignity of a superior.
The second day of Charles’s return to Machu Picchu, Anatasiya arrived with more than two thousand elite of the Westwind Knights from Silver Pigeon Fort.
Charles was very surprised, but then learned it was Taoles who had sent a letter asking her to come and join them, leaving Dobin and Yellow Bear to lead the three other knighthoods.
There would be no more battles at Silver Pigeon Fort, after all. The Beastman’s main army had already attacked Strasbourg, so leaving a portion of the Westwind Knights’ finest warriors at Silver Pigeon Fort was meaningless.
Charles indeed needed this knighthood. After further rest and reorganization at Machu Picchu for a day, he chose to mobilize completely.
The current Westwind Knights still followed the same organizational structure Charles had created initially, with fifty men to a team. But including himself, Taoles, Dobin, and others, the teams directly under them would be slightly larger.
For ease of command, mainly because there were so many people and he couldn’t manage on his own, the largest teams wouldn’t exceed eight hundred men.
Such a battle organization had its advantages. Once on the battlefield, the teams could fight independently. Each team was capable of operating on its own without much need for a commander’s allocation.
Charles was a military novice. This mode of operation was most advantageous for a commander who didn’t even qualify as an armchair strategist. He only needed to issue the simplest commands, and the leaders of each fighting team would handle the detailed battle orders.
In fact, ever since he reorganized the Patrolling Army of the Lucavaro District into this knighthood, this structure hadn’t caused any problems. Instead, it often provided a sense of smooth command on the battlefield.
The fully mobilized Westwind Knights soon clashed with the outer forces of the Beastmen.
