Chapter 322: 310. The only thing that can resist the Sacred Order is the Sacred Order itself.
Charles gazed at the battle for a while before he realized that, having spent so much time with Menilman, he was able to sit as an equal in front of four Saints. Later, he took Golden Ram Herolf as his old servant and forgot that Krel Brittany wouldn’t take orders from him.
Krel Brittany, said to rival Zimmerman, was the strongest among the young generation of Fars, having recently advanced to the Sacred Order, was full of disdain for everything.

There was probably no one in this world who was obedient, and he might even dare to defy the orders of Julius Axler in a covert manner.
Born into Hatingen Thunder and Storm University, Krel Brittany practiced the breath techniques of thunder and storm. His mastery of the Thunderstorm Sword Technique was thorough and fluid. Although he had just ascended to the Sacred Order, he was far from the bottom of the rank.
Andreas hailed from the Black Phoenix Dynasty and cultivated the inherited Phoenix General breath technique. His swordsmanship too was top-notch, each strike accompanied by a phoenix-like warble. After seeing it numerous times, Charles had realized it was the oscillation of sonic waves caused by a special technique that propelled the sword qi through the air.
The two of them were well-matched opponents, moving back and forth across the sky in a battle as fierce as blazing fire.
In fact, Andreas and Krel Brittany, along with Ebner Sumei, Menilman, and Princess May, were considered members of the new generation, fully grown up and young.
Julian, Ban Lanmalock, and Sophia Garanord belonged to the “next generation,” the younger generation that had not yet come into their own.
Charles, on the other hand, didn’t quite fit in with that group, as he was already over twenty years old but still younger than Krel Brittany and his peers. Furthermore, he began his slow ascension after transmigrating, far from matching the brilliance of those geniuses who had shown great potential since childhood and advanced rapidly like racing cars.
Charles was quite worried about Krel’s safety and said to Old Goat, “Go up and support Krel Brittany, and make sure not to…”
“Forget it!”
“Mr. Tumishen, you and Old Goat get ready, if the Black Phoenix Dynasty deploys more than two Saints, then engage them normally, but if they send only one…”
Charles made a vicious gesture with his hand, saying, “Then join forces and take them down!”
Charles knew about human emotions and customs, with Krel currently battling Andreas, he might be competing for some prestigious title prefixed with certain qualifiers, and intervening rashly would only displease Krel Brittany.
But if the Black Phoenix Dynasty sent out a Saint and he ordered someone to intercept, that would be an outright favor.
During Charles’s tactical retreat, he had only Old Goat and Tumishen at hand, unsure how to deploy them to create a local advantage. But now with Krel, he had much more flexibility.
Tumishen smiled slightly and said, “I can’t really intervene.”
Just as Charles was about to ask why, he suddenly realized and said, “I was negligent.”
Tumishen was a Beastman, and not long ago, just outside Strasbourg, Fars had just fought a major battle with the Beastman tribal alliance. The Beastmen had suffered heavy casualties and lost numerous elite warriors, including several at the Sacred Order.
It was indeed inappropriate for Old Leopard Man to take action; setting aside whether it was right for a Beastman to fight for the Fars Empire, Charles’s recruitment of Beastmen as subordinates was a significant taboo.
It was fine to do it covertly, but to do it openly was not quite acceptable.
Originally, the only ones under Charles’s command were his own Westwind Knights. Who the hell would dare to utter a single word of dissent?
Lord Charles Meklen, when it came time to kill, did it as though he were killing NPCs, not the slightest bit of mercy.
But now, there were also the Purple Goldfinch Knights and Maple Leaf Knighthood. Even if Kreel Brittany and Ebner Sumei didn’t say anything, their control over their subordinates wasn’t as cruel as Charles’s.
Charles was always able to easily incorporate soldiers from different sources, and a major reason for this was that all those who resisted would “quietly disappear” without a trace, neither seen alive nor found dead.
Kreel and Ebner didn’t have this kind of deterrence.
Charles sighed. Although he now had helpers and Kreel and Ebner had indeed become powerful enough after ascending to the Sacred Order, many of his schemes could no longer be carried out.
However, these were minor issues, far better than being surrounded by the massive army of the Black Phoenix Dynasty, waiting to be annihilated.
In the battle between Kreel and Andreas, both parties went all out, each seeking to kill the other. Beyond the conflict of their nations, it was a true enmity, with an element of honor at stake as well.
The thunder and storm were wild, but could never bring down the clear and transcendent phoenix’s cry. But no matter how swift Andreas’s blade flashed, it couldn’t get past the enveloping thunder and storm.
As Charles continually played out the battle, considering how to break through, the Black Phoenix Dynasty also had two of its Sacred Order ascend into the sky, worried that Andreas might come to harm.
One was Viscount Constantine’s assistant, Munson, and the other was a newly emerged Sacred Order named Nikolao, a good friend of Constantine’s, a middle-aged knight. What was most memorable about Nikolao was his neatly trimmed little mustache; while shaving was customary in the Fars, growing a neat beard was very popular in the Black Phoenix Dynasty.
As soon as the two Sacred Order on Charles’s side ascended, Ebner, worried about his friend, also leaped into the air. He and Kreel were classmates, both hailing from Hatingen Thunder and Storm University, and their swordsmanship was identically grand in scope.
The last two Sacred Order of the Black Phoenix Dynasty couldn’t sit still anymore, and they also rose into the sky one after another. The two sides merely exchanged brief greetings, maintaining the etiquette of the battlefield, before beginning a grand melee.
This was the first time Charles had witnessed so many of the Sacred Order flying all over the sky. The nine Sacred Order at times worked together and at other times fought solo, each displaying their prowess until the sky itself seemed to change color.
It was at this time that Golden Ram Herolf’s powerful might became evident, truly deserving of his title as the Pirate King of the Whale Sea. With his Knight’s Spear, he stirred up mighty waves, overwhelming and fierce, blocking the brunt of the Black Phoenix Dynasty’s Sacred Order’s attacks almost single-handedly.
The Old Leopard Man couldn’t complain about inconvenience now, but instead of fighting in the form of a Leopard People, he used the Beast God Transformation Technique, becoming an ordinary middle-aged man, holding Dao Hai, and traversing the skies.
Only now did Charles truly realize the extent of what he was witnessing. The Old Leopard Man’s ability to take on human form wasn’t surprising, but the fact that as a human, he could not use the Beastman’s Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit yet still maintain the combat power of the Sacred Order was truly remarkable.
In other words, the Old Leopard Man had also learned human swordsmanship and had cultivated it to the Sacred Order.
Observing the battle for a while, Charles softly sighed. Without becoming a Sacred Order, one would always miss by a chasm.
The greatest advantage of being a Sacred Order was the ability to fly, which granted high-speed mobility. Perhaps the Super Long-Range Repeating Alchemical Rifle Julian mentioned could pose a threat to the Sacred Order, but the Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet wasn’t powerful enough, the cost was too high, and there weren’t enough skilled shooters.
So far, the only thing capable of countering a Sacred Order was another Sacred Order.
