The First Magic World War

When Red Hawk left the Old Continent, she arranged for a group of her subordinates and her biological brother to stay in Red Cliff City!

Upon hearing this, Charles could only console the female champion of Sacred Order. He truly didn't know whether Red Hawk's subordinates and brother had survived. Nevertheless, among the dozen cities on the northern shore of the Red Dragon Strait, Red Cliff City had the highest death toll among residents, due to its terrain being particularly difficult to escape from.

Aside from being filled with grief and indignation, Red Hawk was also very curious about this particular troop. She had left the Old Continent long ago and had never heard about the Beast God Transformation. However, she could guess that these "Beastmen" were all humans in disguise. What she could not figure out, no matter how she pondered, was how Golden Ram Herolf could be part of this troop, and it seemed, he wasn't the mastermind either?

She soon ascertained that Antonio and Charles were the highest in rank, though one was a First Rank Transcendent and the other a Second Rank Transcendent, neither particularly strong.

Red Hawk even speculated that Golden Ram Herolf might have defected to the Fars Empire and was now serving the Emperor...

Out of caution, she didn't actively ask questions. Golden Ram Herolf didn't want to talk much, and there was no need for Charles to share his military operations with a stranger, which left Red Hawk in a consistently perplexed state.

With the addition of another champion of Sacred Order, Charles grew even more confident of the upcoming lion-slaying battle.

He didn't have to wait long before he heard the sound of something cutting through the sky above; Charles quickly leaped out from his hiding spot, and this time, it was finally Tumishen who descended.

Upon seeing Charles and his group, Tumishen said, "I will lead you into the Beastmen camp right now!"

When he saw Red Hawk, he was slightly startled, and Red Hawk, upon seeing Tumishen, was greatly surprised. Tumishen had been to the New Continent and had met this woman pirate, one of the only two females among the Top Ten Pirates of those days.

Red Hawk couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't you a Beastman? How could you also defect to Fars?"

Red Hawk knew that Tumishen didn't eat humans and was one of the Beastmen who were friendly towards humans, but she still held some distrust.

Tumishen chuckled sheepishly and said, "I haven't defected to Fars; I have pledged my allegiance to Mister Charles Meklen. He has promised a future for the Beastmen, not just for me, but for the Black Dragon and Qiudelo as well, who have also pledged their allegiance to him."

"Ah, and the Golden Ram Herolf, who is as famous as you, as well as Sabastine, have both pledged allegiance to him as well." Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

Sabastine didn't refute, as in her view, the relationship between Menilman and Charles bordered on the ambiguous, and they would end up as allies, sooner or later.

However, Red Hawk was so shocked she became speechless. She looked at Charles several times and asked in a low voice, "Is he the Emperor's illegitimate son?"

Tumishen quickly said, "No, Mister Charles Meklen is exceptionally talented and highly virtuous. You will understand if you spend more time with him. Now is not the time for further discussion."

Red Hawk didn't believe the Old Leopard Man's words. She couldn't comprehend how Charles could possess so many champions of Sacred Order as his subordinates.

If he's not the Emperor's illegitimate son, could he possibly be the illegitimate son of the Evil God?

Or even that of some True God?

Otherwise, it made no sense at all!

Knowing that Red Hawk didn't know the Beast God Transformation technique, the Old Leopard Man passed her a Cat Mask and said, "If you want to blend into the Beastmen camp and act with them, use this little trinket!"

Red Hawk took the cat mask and was surprised again. She felt more and more that since she left the Old Continent for so long, the world had completely changed. Everything was permeated with strangeness.

If she hadn't encountered "two" acquaintances, she would have definitely thought she had gone to the wrong continent.

Charles led the group, following Tumishen and quietly infiltrated the beastman camp.

With his Insight, he quickly discovered that there were tens of thousands of humans detained within the beastman camp, obviously being kept as a reserve food supply by the beastmen.

Charles was filled with rage, but he suppressed his anger. A small lapse now could spoil a great plan. Killing Amisphidas, King of A Thousand Lions, was the most important thing, and all else had to be endured for the time being.

Having consumed the Eye of Destiny, several days had passed for Amisphidas. During these days, he always felt discomfort in his stomach. When he activated his Fighting Spirit, he couldn't sense anything amiss. Since beastmen generally had tough skin and flesh, he didn't pay much attention to it.

He mulled over how to deal with the bull demon Samson, and eventually, he simply gave up.

Although Amisphidas was not a supremely talented and strategic leader, he was definitely a qualified military commander. It was he who, against all objections, occupied the northern shore of the Red Dragon Strait. After all, this strategic location blocked the development of the beastmen and was important for their future prospects.

After the occupation, he found that he couldn't solve the food problem. Recently, the number of beastmen flocking to the camp had increased, and the camp was becoming overwhelmed. Amisphidas had made up his mind to launch an attack to plunder some humans for food.

The reason he had not acted before was because the beastman camp was always in civil unrest.

Now that the bull demon Samson had left, and the rest of the Beastmen of the Sacred Order had either left or completely pledged allegiance to him, Amisphidas faced no further obstacles. He set his sights on one of the richest regions of the Fars Empire, and this lion had even greater ambitions.

Amisphidas convened his subordinates for a military meeting. Suddenly, he felt particularly hungry. He ordered his subordinates to bring over a male and a female human along with a bunch of peculiar beastman sauces. With a roar, he bit off the heads of the two humans and started crunching away.

Charles and the others, who had already been lurking nearby for days, couldn't help but struggle to contain their anger at this sight.

Charles knew he couldn't be impulsive now, as the Eye of Destiny inside Amisphidas had not yet taken effect.

He was about to turn away, not wanting to see such a thing, when he heard a low cry from Red Hawk.

A few Lion People then brought up a young boy, along with a woman in her thirties who was brushing sauce on their bodies. Red Hawk could no longer contain herself and whispered, "That's my brother. I must act now."

Charles didn't stop her, knowing he shouldn't. Who could have expected such a close shave? To actually encounter Red Hawk's brother? And the young boy was being basted with sauce, about to be eaten by Amisphidas as lunch?

He could only make a sign to all the Fars Sacred Order members.

Antonio was the first to react. With a slight shake of his body, he reverted to his human form. He tugged at his ear and pulled out one of the beastmen's Top Ten Divine Weapons, the Dragon Slaying Stick, and with a shout, yelled, "Amisphidas, prepare to die!"

When Amisphidas saw Antonio, his face looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had clashed with the eldest son of the Brittany Family once before and had suffered a significant loss. But what he couldn't fathom was why this man would appear in the beastman camp,

and why would he be wielding Qiudelo's Dragon Slaying Stick?
