Chapter 177: Strange Alliances
The rain stopped early in the morning, and a little sunshine even broke through the clouds.
The post-rain Os Park seemed like a fairyland, with the entire world exuding a sense of freshness. Mist drifted lightly in the valley and among the trees, while a gentle mountain spring bubbled nearby and soft green grass covered the gr...

Every evening, Charlot Mecklenburg would undergo intense training with Juno. Recently, the training intensity had inexplicably doubled.
Although Charlot felt he was improving daily, he still rarely lasted beyond three moves in their combat practice.
What Charlot failed to notice was that Juno had been suppressing his strength to the eighth rank and had slowly increased it to the ten...

Antonio briefly recounted the events of that year, leaving Charlot enraptured and secretly astonished.
Back then, Zimourman Axel Robin's behavior was utterly outrageous, prompting the Imperial Chancellor, Wood Brandon, to decide to eliminate this "scar on the empire." However, Zimourman's power was so immense that Chancellor Brandon had to enlist the help of five Saint-ranked individuals ...

Jefferson’s efficiency remained impressive.
Early the next morning, the proposal to collaborate with France in eliminating the Barbary pirates was submitted to the United States Congress.
The matter of purchasing two frigates was appended as an afterthought, seemingly with no intention of getting it approved by Congress.

"Buy a team?" Eric stared at Charles in disbelief, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Lieutenant, some things cannot be bought with money. If what you want is low-level talent, or workers, I believe you will get them soon enough. But what we need might be the top group of people in the world, and you don't even know...

If the Arsilo Clan represents the Blood Clan's swordsmanship masters, and the Van Gogh Clan embodies its assassin expertise, then the Arthur Clan is the epitome of spellcasters. However, spellcasters often have a glaring weakness: close combat. To address this, the Arthur Clan developed "Gunfighting Techniques," a revolutionary method accompanied by the creation of the powerful Bloodburst Techn...

Charlot suddenly thought to himself, “Is Byron perhaps too powerful?”
Although Byron had suffered severe losses in the naval battles, its strength in Ferranden had remained steadfast against Fars. With the addition of the Duchess Mesu's northern fleet, its naval power had recovered by seventy to eighty percent. Furthermore, with the acquisition of the Fontainebleau and the recent alli...

This time, only four remained, with six demands having been "fulfilled."

However, while it resembled a mortar, its concept was entirely different.
In reality, it was a type of howitzer, a breech-loading artillery piece wit...
