The First Magic World War-Chapter 597 - 563, In future wars, ordinary people determine everything

Chapter 597: 563, In future wars, ordinary people determine everything Chapter 597: 563, In future wars, ordinary people determine everything Charles rode in a carriage without any markings, not even a new one, just one of the spoils of war he had captured in previous battles.

Although Black Phoenix City had been renamed Mecklenburg, and Charles had sorted through the city several times, sending away dangerous elements wherever possible and bringing in many people who were close to him and willing to settle in the big city, many of whom were Southseraphs who had migrated with him many times, he still worried about potential dangers and did not allow the carriages used by his subordinates to bear any special markings.

Well, in the eyes of the Southseraphs, Charles always held an extremely prestigious position, surpassing any Southseraph, with a reputation that exceeded even that of Jonathan, Cyrus, or any historical Southseraph figures.

In addition to being displaced and losing their homeland, the lives of almost all Southseraphs were getting better.

They were no longer discriminated against, there were no wars, no tax collectors more vicious than thieves, no extortionate gangs, and they even had the opportunity to receive an education.

The most important thing was that “The Legend of Mecklen” held an extremely high status in the hearts of the Southseraphs.

The Southseraphs were convinced that Charles was their savior.

...

And Charles’s legendary journey from an ordinary Imperial civil servant to the throne of the Imperial Duke only served to fuel their fervor.

When the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant, Charles got off and reached out to help Anne down, suddenly recalling how he initially bought a second-hand carriage and wanted to show off in front of Anne, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Anne’s mood had slightly improved, although she still felt like kicking Sophia Garanord’s pert little backside, she managed to suppress the urge to throw plates.

She smiled faintly and asked, “What are you laughing about?”

Charles spoke softly, “I was thinking about when I initially bought that second-hand carriage.

I actually wanted to show off to you, but you didn’t care at all.

Later, when I switched to a luxurious dark one, you seemed not to notice that either.”

Anne whispered, “I initially thought you had rented it and didn’t want to make you uncomfortable, so I dared not show it.”

Charles could not help but laugh more tenderly, as Anne was indeed a gentle girl.

Anne blinked and thought for a while, unable to remember whether Charles had changed carriages or not, she wisely decided not to bring up the latter topic.

Just as the two were about to enter the restaurant, they heard an argument inside.

Charles hesitated, contemplating whether to change the carriage when he heard someone shouting loudly, “You are the disgrace of Black Phoenix University!

If you weren’t sensible and went to Mecklen University, that sham of a university, you definitely wouldn’t be able to graduate, let alone receive a Black Phoenix diploma.”

Charles shrugged and said, “Shall we go in and take a look?”

Anne smiled radiantly and followed Charles into the restaurant.

Today, both of them were dressed as ordinary people.

Charles was now accustomed to wearing the military uniform; having fought across two continents, his uniform was naturally old.

Although Anne was dressed as a “normal” noble lady during the big meeting, she had now changed into a hunting outfit, looking somewhat like a female adventurer.

A young soldier in an old military uniform and a female adventurer made a matching pair, which also showed Anne’s thoughtfulness.

Inside the restaurant, more than a dozen young people were dining, but now they were embroiled in a fierce argument, with everyone ganging up on a young man with black hair.

His face wasn’t angry, but he was desperately explaining, “I believe that in the future of warfare, ordinary people will decide everything.”

“This concept!

It is destined to become truth.”

“A university with thousands of students, yet only a few can ascend to Transcendence each session.”

“A nation of tens and hundreds of millions, but only a few dozen at the Sacred level.”

“How can such a war be sustained?”

“The war that just ended has proven that even the Four Great Empires are unable to continue the fight.

There haven’t been enough deaths at the Sacred level, but too many Transcendents have died.

I’ve compiled statistics, and the death toll among Transcendents in the various countries is as high as forty percent!

Forty percent!

Do you understand what that means?”

The young man was immediately besieged…

Charles listened with interest.

He actually agreed with the concept of the dark-haired young man; it was just that in this world, ultimately there is Supernatural Power, and ordinary people simply have no way to sway the outcome of wars.

Not long afterward, the dark-haired young man fled in disarray while the remaining youth jeered, raising their glasses in celebration of their complete victory.

Someone noticed Charles and Anne, the pair of “young people,” and raised a glass to them.

Charles also lifted his glass with a smile, but after setting down his drink, he said to Anne, “I’ll be out for a moment.”

Anne nodded with a smile, and Charles left the restaurant.

He then saw the dark-haired young man squatting on the street corner crying.

Walking over, he patted the man on the shoulder and said, “I very much admire your concept, but I don’t understand why you have so much faith in ordinary people.”

The young man’s face turned red as he said, “Because of my invention.

My invention can give ordinary people power to contend with the Transcendents, and even those at the Sacred level.”

Charles immediately became curious and said, “Can you tell me more about it?”

The dark-haired young man had just been humiliated and chased off, but now someone was willing to listen to him describe his invention.

He became excited and had just started speaking when Charles suggested, “This invention sounds quite complicated.

Get on the carriage first, and wait for me a moment.” After the young man boarded the carriage, Charles returned to the restaurant and enjoyed a very peaceful lunch with Anne.

Black Phoenix’s cuisine is distinctly different from that of Fars and Inglima, as the main cities of Black Phoenix, especially the capital, are by the sea, so there are many seafood dishes.

For instance, there’s a dish called exploding baby octopus, which bursts in your mouth when you eat it, making it very delicious.

Hmm, that dish is also quite Lovecraftian.

Anne declined to try this dish, but the restaurant’s grilled fish was also good, with the pan-seared sea fish being very delicate and tasty.

After lunch, Charles took Anne back to the Ducal Mansion in Mecklenburg.

The dark-haired young man on the carriage felt that something was amiss.

He waited and waited but did not see Charles return.

When he tried to get off the carriage, he was blocked by several burly men.

If he had been a Transcendent, he would not have been working on some weapon to allow ordinary people to kill Transcendents on the battlefield, so he could only angrily return to the carriage.

After a long wait, the carriage finally started to move.

His anxiety grew, and he thought to himself, “Could it be that someone is jealous of my talent and wants to kill me?

Is this the road out of the city?

When we arrive, will they bury me alive or knock me out first?”

The dark-haired young man was lost in wild speculation when the carriage door was pulled open.

Although he was a university student with dismal grades at Black Phoenix University, he still recognized that he was at Duke Mecklen’s Ducal Mansion.
