From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

The Sky Knight is actually the limit of what humans can achieve.

But the knight ancestors of this world are not willing to let humans always be inferior to fantasy beasts and dragons. Therefore, many researchers led by magicians have devoted themselves to exploring human potential and breaking through their own limits.

After a long time, magicians finally uncovered an amazing secret: it turns out that human physique is born lacking compatibility with magic factors. The way we use magic factors is often just to convert them into fighting spirit or other forms of energy, and rarely directly use the magic factors themselves.

The reason why fantasy beasts are so powerful is that their bodies have initially merged with magic factors and evolved into a unique magical life form, just like dragons - the difference is that dragons are born magical life, while fantasy beasts have acquired this ability through evolution.

Therefore, magicians who have drawn the correct conclusion have focused their attention on the topic of how fantasy beasts become magical life.

But unfortunately, until now, humans have not been able to explore the reason why fantasy beasts become magical life forms. They have only found another way and summed up a way to coexist with fantasy beasts, using the magic power of fantasy beasts to immerse themselves and become magical life forms.

After a long period of evolution, coexistence with fantasy beasts gradually evolved into a partnership contract. Knights merged their fighting spirit with the magic power of fantasy beasts into one, and through this fused fighting spirit, they achieved self-transformation and became fantasy beast knights.

This method is far more stable than symbiosis, and after the knights merged their fighting spirit with the magic power of fantasy beasts, this new energy will strengthen both parties to a certain extent, which is why fantasy beasts do not reject the conclusion of contracts with knights who are in love with them.

After all, after concluding a contract, you can get a partner that you absolutely trust in this world, and with the level of human civilization, once fantasy beasts enjoy human delicacies, they will rarely go out to hunt and eat raw meat.

In history, there are many examples of successfully luring fantasy beasts with delicacies.

Each knight can only sign a partnership contract with one fantasy beast in his life, because once his own fighting spirit is fused with the magic power of the fantasy beast, he can no longer fuse with other fantasy beasts for the second time.

This is also the reason why each fantasy beast and knight cherish each other. After all, after fusion, the two will become closer than relatives. In this state, the relationship between the two will be quite strong.

And the griffin is the most suitable golden magic beast group for Marquis Daniel.

The griffin is a race with a very high blood level. The elite individuals in the tribe have a high chance of becoming a fantasy beast.

As long as the griffin is willing to sign a partnership contract with him, he dares to guarantee that with the wealth of the Golden Rose Family, he can smash the griffin into a fantasy beast even if he smashes it.

And griffins usually appear in family units, generally three to four, he doesn't believe that these four can't be smashed into a fantasy beast.

After a few days, Marquis Daniel finally set foot on the land of Black Feather Island with his army.

The moment he set foot on the land of Kuroba Island, Marquis Daniel truly understood why Krober was so determined to choose this small island as his starting point.

The current situation of Kuroba Island can only be described in one word:

Prosperous!

As a lord who has governed the territory for decades, Marquis Daniel can naturally judge the wealth behind Kuroba Island from the prosperous scene at this time.

The streets of Kuroba Island after reconstruction are wide and straight, with various shops and markets on both sides. Merchants are busy selling precious goods from all over the world, from spices and silk to slaves and weapons.

The bustling crowd shuttles through the streets, and people of different races and cultures exchange trade here.

At the port, ships engraved with various noble emblems come and go, and huge merchant ships are fully loaded with goods, swaying on the sea with small fishing boats.

And the sailors are busy loading and unloading goods at the dock, just to get a reward enough for him to support his family.

And this was only about four months after Kroeber took over Black Feather Island. (It was three months before, and then he wasted a few days waiting for Foster, and then he wasted several days waiting for Marquis Daniel, so it was almost four months)

Kroeber had already learned that Marquis Daniel had arrived in the waters near Black Feather Island and was about to land, so he immediately put down his work and brought people to the port to welcome Marquis Daniel.

The moment he saw Kroeber, a kind smile appeared on Marquis Daniel's serious face.

Kroeber's appearance at this time was slightly different from the last time he met Marquis Daniel.

First of all, the immature temperament of Kroeber has disappeared (Veronica cried), replaced by a mature and steady temperament, which is a quality that a qualified ruler must have.

The grandfather and grandson met and gave each other a warm hug.

Marquis Daniel came to Black Feather Island as an ally and guest. As the owner of this place, Kroeber appointed Hyer as a guide to lead the whole team.

And Krober started chatting with Marquis Daniel in the team.

This was not a new topic, and they talked about ordinary things, but it was these ordinary things that the grandfather and grandson were able to talk about happily.

It was not until the group entered the castle that the grandfather and grandson changed from chatting about family matters to normal intelligence exchange.

In the castle hall, everyone sat down, and Krober asked Haier to start telling them about the information on the Holy Beast Island.

After accepting Krober's order, Haier walked to the center of the hall and told them about the information currently collected by Black Feather Island.

"According to the information from the natives of the Holy Beast Island, the island they are on should be about 400 to 600 square kilometers in area. The specific area can be measured after our army occupies it."

"There are only three local forces on the island. The first part is the so-called Sea People Tribe, with a population of about 3,000 people. The strongest remaining combat force should be the deputy chief of the Sea People Tribe, the strength of the Great Knight, and the others are a few formal combat forces.

The second part is the wild beasts and magic beasts in the forest. According to the captives, the wild beasts and magic beasts on the island have been almost captured by their tribe and the griffin tribe, so there is no threat to us.

The third part, which is the strongest part, is the griffin tribe living in the center of the island. Because the natives on the island have a worship ceremony for griffins, there is no rough information about the number and strength of the griffin tribe."

The information about the Holy Beast Island was explained in the most concise words, and even Marquis Daniel recognized Hyer's performance.

"In order to meet the upcoming war, the Black Feather Island side can dispatch fifty soldiers, two official knights, and one great knight."

After reporting the combat power that the Black Feather Island can dispatch, Haier quietly returned to his seat and waited for the report from the Golden Rose Family.

And Krober did not wait for long, and the representative of the Golden Rose Family immediately stood up to report the military strength brought by this trip.

"Our Golden Rose Family brought a total of 500 soldiers, all of whom are well-equipped elite soldiers, 13 official knights, no great knights, two earth knights, and one sky knight."

After speaking, the representative blinked at Krober, and then returned to his seat and stopped talking.

Krober was quite familiar with the representative in front of him. He was a tribesman who had a good conversation with him when the banquet was held in Flower Crown City. He was a formal knight and six or seven years older than him. According to the relationship, he should call him cousin.

After exchanging information and integrating strength, the next step is to determine the identity of the commander.

There is no doubt that the commander of this war will naturally fall on Krober. After all, the Holy Beast Island is legally his territory. Even if Marquis Daniel is strong, he is here as an ally, and the leadership will naturally fall on Krober.

In the end, the title of commander undoubtedly fell on Krober.

Of course, Krober would not be stupid enough to take the title of commander seriously. This is just a choice made in accordance with the laws and traditions of the principality.
