Chapter 372: -125- Transcendent Army Formation

Charlotte and Count Gaston once again took their seats at the tavern’s negotiation table.

However, the Transcendents ambushed by the forces of the Tulip Count Domain had been utterly annihilated, and the Gaston father and son were securely bound with magic prohibition chains.

Charlotte sat leisurely in a round wooden armchair with her legs crossed, her back facing the large hole blasted into the tavern wall when Sebastian had unleashed his Elemental Burst. In her hands, she held a parchment scroll that contained the records from her recent interrogation of Count Gaston.

As for the Gaston father and son... aside from being completely restrained, their mouths were stuffed with two pairs of white gloves by Sebastian, and they were staring at her with eyes wide open, filled with terror.

With the enhancement of the Blood Divine Power, the interrogation of the Gaston father and son was not difficult at all—in fact, it was quite simple. A mere mental intimidation had made them confess everything.

Just as Charlotte had speculated, Count Gaston’s actions were indeed his own initiative. To ensure foolproof success, he had even mobilized the military to ambush outside the town, aiming to control her and claim credit before the Third Prince. The Third Prince, as it turned out, had already prepared a plan of "pincer attack from the north and the south, flowering in the middle."

Unfortunately for Count Gaston, he had walked right into Charlotte’s trap and was captured by her.

Before long, Sebastian reappeared beside Charlotte and bowed respectfully, saying,

"Master, I have checked. They indeed came with the standing army of the Tulip Count Domain. Judging by the flags, it seems to be the main force of the Tulip Count Domain stationed about five kilometers north in the woods outside the town. They are still unaware of the situation in the town."

Upon hearing Sebastian’s words, Charlotte paused slightly,

"Main force?"

Sebastian glanced at the bound Gaston father and son, nodding,

"Yes, the main standing army of Tulip. I estimate that there should be at least fifteen hundred well-equipped soldiers, all in enchanted armor, capable of forming the most basic Magic Energy Formation."

Magic Energy Formation?

Having crossed over for so long, Charlotte heard yet another new term.

Noticing her subtle change in expression, Sebastian respectfully explained,

"Master, the Magic Energy Formation is the most powerful Transcendent Army Formation known in wars, where some exquisite formations can even prevent the Blazing Sun from intervening, causing headaches even for legends."

"Since Transcendent power became widespread in civilization, Transcendent Army Formations have become the key force dominating wars, and every country’s standing army can form such Transcendent Army."

"The basis of a Transcendent Army Formation is the Magic Power or Source Power of Transcendent soldiers, and the core is the enchanted armor, with soldiers using enchanted equipment forming a Military Formation of five hundred into a Magic Prohibition Array, significantly suppressing the powers of opposing transcendents—a nightmare for mid to low-tier Transcendents..."

"When the number of formations reaches three, a qualitative change occurs."

"After this change, it becomes a Magic Energy Formation!"

"A Magic Energy Formation is formed by three or more Magic Prohibition Arrays, using the individual soldiers to create a living Inscription Array, further integrating the power of the Transcendent Army while prohibiting magic..."

"After integration, the Magic Energy Military Formation can render an ordinary secular army meaningless before it!"

Sebastian was incredibly eager to seize the opportunity to showcase his knowledge in front of Charlotte. He saw it as an honor to explain these concepts to a resurgent god.

For this reason, he explained it in great detail.

If it weren’t for the fact that he probably didn’t know how to construct a Magic Energy Formation, Charlotte even suspected that he would have started explaining the principles of military formations.

In fact, although he didn’t explain the principles, Sebastian had indeed discussed the origin of the Magic Energy Formation:

"This method, which replaces inscriptions with soldiers as individual units to form the array, originated from the Elves, became popular during the Bloodline Era, and was further improved after the Holy Era."

"In cases where the Magic Energy Formation is activated, the Transcendent Soldiers routinely stationed within it can almost each take on ten enemies, and when they form the military array, they are even more invincible in conventional warfare... The most famous of these is the Nicholas Magic Energy Formation, refined by the legendary mage Nicholas from the human world."

"The reason why Louis V was able to win against the odds in the critical battle of the Star Moon War was by utilizing the Elf armor provided by Moon God Island and arming a troupe standing in formation, leveraging the found ’Nicholas Legacy’ to form the Nicholas Magic Energy Formation."

Charlotte: ...

At one moment, Charlotte’s mind conjured up the image of a plump Black Cat, half reclining lazily, picking at its own feet while nibbling on small dried fish, and saying smugly, "Yes, it’s me!"

She clicked her tongue, unsure how many secrets that Black Cat still had hidden and how much skill it had concealed, contemplating whether she could try to squeeze something more out the next time she summoned it.

Of course, those were matters for later, but now...

To be honest, she needed to resolve the current issues first.

Thinking this, Charlotte looked Gaston Count up and down, saying with interest:

"I heard... that the former Bold Duke, who was once the military chief of the New Moon Kingdom, had introduced Transcendent Equipment from the New Moon Guard Legion into his standing army, making its quality comparable to the Kingdom’s Standing Army. And the army stationed in the Tulip Count Domain represents the elite of the Bold Duchy."

"Lord Gaston, by pulling out all the troops from the Count Territory at once, was this specifically planned against Sebastian?"

Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Sebastian was startled.

But he quickly recovered, his expression turning somewhat ugly.

As a senior of the Silver Moon, the Transcendents hidden by Count Gaston were simply not a threat in his eyes, and even if they were teleported away, it was only a matter of time before he, with the endurance of a Silver Moon, would desperately rush back.

But if he desperately returned only to encounter the Transcendent Army formed into a Magic Energy Formation, that would be another issue.

Count Gaston had captured Charlotte, and as his most potent follower, he would certainly catch up.

Rushing over hundreds of kilometers was already a huge drain, and facing a Magic Energy Military Formation might even lead to...

If Count Gaston maneuvered correctly, he might be able to capture both Charlotte and Sebastian.

Of course, it was a good plan, but Count Gaston had underestimated Charlotte’s strength.

"Master, I just discovered many disguises in the camp. They seem to be aiming to make the attack on you look like the work of the Blood Demon Church. Could we perhaps counteract by striking them while their troops are not yet in formation, and also make it look like the work of the Blood Demon Church?" proposed Sebastian.

However, Charlotte, looking at the two Duchy nobles she controlled, just smiled slightly:

"A sneak attack? No, no need for that much hassle."
