Bab 265: 258, Constant Fighting

```

Charles, after crushing three knighthoods, didn't wait for the enemy's "main force" and even thought that the commander of the Black Phoenix Dynasty was planning some kind of special "conspiracy." He temporarily promoted Italo Calvino, the fast-hand scribe, to defend Interlaken City while he himself left with the Orc Labyrinth guards and a portion of the Westwind Knights to set up an ambush.

It can't be said that Charles's military competence was average; it was non-existent. His tactic was copied from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Charles didn't know that his action had startled the commander of the Black Phoenix Dynasty. The commander also thought Charles was planning some "big move," especially since Charles had casually crushed three knighthoods, already proving his strength.

The Black Phoenix Dynasty sent out another knighthood; this time it was one from the Royal Family, not only well-equipped but also led by a High Order Transcendent.
