The First Magic World War-Chapter 229 - 224, Void Folding
The Mostar Fortress Knighthood, in fact, hadn’t figured out what to do?
The leader of this knighthood was naturally Archduke Ferdinand, and after the Duke Ferdinand couple was assassinated, it was Grand Duke Joseph who became the master of this knighthood, but Joseph’s control over the knighthood had considerably weakened.
If it weren’t for the banner of avenging Duke Ferdinand, he probably couldn’t have commanded this knighthood at all.
With Joseph’s death in the South Serif territory, the knighthood was left without a master.
Aside from the leader, Mostar Fortress originally had a total of five captains, two of whom were high-level transcendents who both made it back alive to Mostar Fortress. The other three were mid-level transcendents, two of whom died in battle in the South Serif territory, so now three captains are in charge of the knighthood.
Having two high-level transcendents and one mid-level transcendent in its command, Mostar Fortress Knighthood didn’t really care about the political changes in the Behemoth Duchy.
When Charles called out from outside the military camp, none of the three captains cared.

Although Charles had killed Jonathan and dueled Zolman to the death, he only had a certain prestige in the eyes of the commoners and soldiers. These high-ranking individuals didn’t think he was anything special, only that the youngster was just lucky.
It wasn’t until Charles blasted the military camp gate with a shot that the three captains finally became unsettled.
The Green Knight Enzo couldn’t help saying, "A young man from Strasbourg dares to be so arrogant, I will go and teach him a lesson."
His other colleague remained silent, the Blood Knight Diack nodded slightly, and only then did the Green Knight turn around and leave.
Blood Knight Diack was known as Behemoth’s number one knight, and his strength ranked first in the knighthood.
The Green Knight was also a high-order transcendental, but he needed the approval of the Blood Knight; as for the other mid-level transcendental, his opinion didn’t matter at all.
After Charles blasted the gate of Mostar Fortress’s military camp with a shot, he put away the anti-space sniper rifle, knowing that he wouldn’t need this old comrade for the time being.
Anastasia had never seen Charles so fierce and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a grudge against them?"
Charles touched his nose and said, "Yes."
He was too embarrassed to say that the person who had chased Mister Charles Mecklen through the streets naked was an intermediate-ranking officer of the Mostar Fortress Knighthood.
Although it wasn’t "Huang Hai Sheng" who streaked, whenever Mecklen remembered this embarrassing incident, he still felt quite disgruntled.

This time he was passing a message on behalf of Kreel Brittany, after clearly stating his purpose, the Mostar Fortress Knighthood actually didn’t respond, not even sending someone to reply. Adding old grudges to fresh ones, he was slightly more violent than usual.
The Green Knight Enzo mounted his warhorse, had his men deliver the knight’s spear, clamped onto the knight’s spear, let the horse gallop, and he himself was like a whirlwind.
The Green Knight Enzo had no intention of listening to Charles’s explanations. Since he wanted to be violent, let it be violent.
As a high-order knight, the Green Knight Enzo believed that even in front of Kreel Brittany, he would have more face than Charles, and even if he injured the other party, no one would hold him accountable.
This was the confidence of a high-order Transcendent not bound to a mere physical existence.
Charles’s insight took the lead, pre-emptively sensing the approach of the azure Knight Enzo galloping towards them, and he said to Anatasiya, "Step aside a little, to avoid getting caught up in the fight."
Indeed, Anatasiya leapt back as instructed. Although she was a graduate of Hatingen Thunder and Stormwind University, cultivating a top-tier Knight inheritance, she was still too young, merely a second-order Transcendent, and indeed could not intervene in a duel of the mid-high tier.
Since leaving Behemoth Duchy, Charles had honed his skills in combat with Inglima over the open seas, and his cultivation improved moderately. He remained an eighth-order Transcendent, but his confidence had swelled considerably.
On this occasion, following Krel Brittany to Behemoth Duchy, he also carried a Knight’s Spear, bestowed by Aurora: the Collapsing Mountain. This was a bloodsucking weapon, featuring five attributes: armor-piercing, impact, Magic Breaker, blood loss, and life absorption to repair the weapon itself.
Charles, holding the spear in both hands, silently recalled the secret essentials of the Asiluo Clan’s Secret Technique "Wings of Heaven." As Knight Enzo came within less than twenty meters of him, Charles suddenly moved, leaping into the air, soaring on the wind with the enhancement of double Quickness Technique, the Spirit Spider Technique, and the Wings of the Hatchling Dragon.
When he reached the apex of his jump, Knight Enzo had just advanced another seven or eight meters, the optimal distance for an attack by Wings of Heaven.
Knight Enzo had not expected that his plan to charge on horseback would be disrupted. He intended to rush up to Charles and, at the peak of his knightly power, deliver a blow with amplified force, surely sufficient to inflict a severe wound on Charles with a single strike.
He could never have anticipated that Charles would suddenly leap high, causing his power-peak spear thrust to miss its target entirely.
As Charles reached the highest point of his jump, his spear descended like a collapsing sky, plunging straight down from the air. Knight Enzo could only muster his Fighting Spirit to divert his spear thrust towards the heavens.
What he did not account for, however, was that Charles’s spear thrust was a feint. As Knight Enzo adjusted his spear to parry upward, Charles lightly shifted his footing and effortlessly changed direction once more.
It was one of the reasons why the Asiluo Clan’s gunmanship secret technique was called "Wings of Heaven."
This particular technique was named "Void Folding," not a special ability, but pure gunmanship.
Without the Quickness Technique, Spirit Spider Technique, and Wings of the Hatchling Dragon, there would be no such agility, balance, or power to control one’s body.
Knight Enzo attempted to adjust mid-fight, already struggling to maintain control of his spear technique. By the time Charles altered course in mid-air, Enzo’s thrust was beyond retraction, and he could only watch in dismay as Charles held Collapsing Mountain aloft, delivering a crushing blow that toppled both the knight and his steed.
The Knight’s warhorse cried out in despair, unable to rise again, its neck broken with a single strike from Charles.
Despite channelling his high-tier Fighting Spirit to dodge lethal blows and managing a block with his own spear, the blow from Charles left Enzo with aching back and chest, but without real injury. Enraged, he leapt to his feet, cursing, "You Strasbourg scoundrel, dare to launch a sneak attack?"
Charles was momentarily taken aback and then realized why the other did not acknowledge him as a Behemoth man.
In recent times, Charles had won several victories in Behemoth. He had even slain the leader of the South Ceraph Reclamation Army, Jonathan, and killed Zolman in a duel beneath Mostar Fortress, reaching such towering prestige. The native commanders of Behemoth did not want to recognize him as one of their own, to prevent him from gaining even greater influence.
Charles landed lightly, pointed the spear Collapsing Mountain and said, "If you are not convinced, then come at me again!"
Knight Enzo gripped his long spear tighter. Every move Charles had made was beyond his common understanding, exceeding his ’common sense’, and this high-tier Knight truly did not dare "come at him again."
