The Defeated Dragon

Even if they only read everyone's name and added a sentence, the ceremony of entrusting the viscount still lasted for two full hours.

In addition to the previous knight parade, dragon show ceremony and king's speech, seeing that the time has come to ten o'clock in the morning, the process of the founding ceremony in the Palace Square has been completed, and it has begun to be transferred to the Sun, Moon and Star Palace. Earls and Marquises were enfeoffed.

There is not much difference from the ceremonial process of entrusting viscounts, barons, and lords.

It's just that every earl and marquis had a lot of lingering alone, so the twenty-one marquises and sixty-four earls also rushed to complete the entrustment ceremony before noon.

The Flame Kingdom was newly established. The founding nobles were not only Lord, Baron, Viscount, Earl and Marquis, but also three dukes. Duke of Tulip Island William Tulip, Duke of Indus Island Piero Gray Iron, and Salty who failed to participate in the ceremony Blue Posey, Duke of Water and Sea.

Liszt has presided over the distribution all morning, and his mouth is parched and distracted, and the excitement and agitation he had earlier had all faded away.

But he still worked hard to finish the last part of the ceremony: The three dukes will be entrusted separately on another day, and now it's time for the luncheon, please join me in enjoying it.

The luncheon was held in the palace hall.

All the nobles participated in the feast together, only the upper nobles and envoys from various countries gathered together, the middle nobles gathered together, and the lower nobles gathered together. There is no such thing as equality for all, and the hierarchy under chivalry is so strict, but no one complains.

On the contrary, the lower-ranking nobles will only be extremely envious and eager, hoping to squeeze into the circle of the upper-ranking nobles.

The knight class has always been synonymous with forging ahead—at least in the new Flame Kingdom, the knights have not decayed yet, and keep forging ahead.

...

The mighty National Founding Ceremony came to a perfect conclusion with the end of the luncheon, but the influence brought by the Ceremony quickly spread from the inner yearning.

The feudal nobles have already brought along the serfs and followers who had been assigned long ago, left Flame Island, and headed for their fiefs.

In particular, a group of high-ranking nobles took away a large number of serfs, reducing the population of Huo Huo Island from five million to three million. Among them, 2 million were the citizens directly under Liszt, and the remaining 1 million were the citizens of the nobles who sealed the city-the nobles who sealed the city did not have the right to enfeoff, but they could support knights.

Sealed nobles,

That is, the knights of the Burning Legion took over the jurisdiction of many cities.

But there are still more cities that still belong to Liszt. After losing a large number of people, all walks of life in these cities need a lot of manpower to replenish.

In the era of no automation and industrialization, the population is the most important labor force.

As soon as Liszt was excited for a day, he was entangled in a large number of official affairs of the kingdom. Even though he formed the foreign cabinet and the cabinet, there were still many decisions that required him to make decisions.

His Majesty……

Father, you should still call me Liszt. We don't need to consider the title of king between father and son. After all, Liszt is the soul of the earth, and he can't adapt to the relationship between his father and his son's follower—even if he knows that in ancient China, there is such a thing. This happens.

I vaguely remember the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.

There was an emperor who had no son, so he adopted a child from the royal family as his heir.

After the child inherited the throne, he had a mighty struggle with the ministers because he couldn't handle the relationship with his own father.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Flame was created by Liszt, so he can make whatever rules he wants.

Li William showed a relieved smile, although he didn't care about bowing his head to his son-this is not a problem under the knight system.

However, Liszt's attitude made him quite satisfied and proud: Liszt, now that the feudal nobles have moved out, Huoyan Island is about to fall into the trouble of lack of population.

What is the solution of the foreign cabinet?

The Foreign Cabinet has discussed several times, and no decision has been made, but in summary, there are two solutions. The first is to suspend the new city plan, stabilize the cities that have been developed, and consider the construction of new cities after the population concentration increases. The second The first plan is to immediately launch a pioneer war and plunder the population.

Liszt thought for a while, and did not respond directly, but asked: How far has the joint plan with the Iron Ridge Kingdom progressed?

William Li shook his head, and replied with some helplessness: Although the Iron Ridge royal family has decided to cooperate with our country to carve up the Eagle Kingdom, the specific details and benefit distribution plan cannot be finalized in a short time.

Contact King Osborn directly and ask him to urge the nobles under him to fight sooner rather than later, and not give the Eagle Kingdom a chance to react.

Osborn has a superficial appearance. On the surface, he is an enterprising and talented king. In fact, he is also a conservative generation who looks forward to the future. According to the information sent by the blood servant from the city of steel, Osborn held several meetings to discuss. Ministers Arguing and arguing, there is still no concrete result.

It's really trash, rotten wood can't be carved... Liszt couldn't help cursing, I will lead the dragon slaying battle, he will lead the knight's charge, and half of the Eagle Kingdom will be divided into half. It's such a simple arithmetic problem that it takes so long to think about it. ... It's been planned for more than a year, back and forth, right?

It's been a year and a half, and it was the Iron Ridge Kingdom where I was on an envoy to finalize the plan, Li William said.

It's really procrastinating. If I didn't have enough knights to annex the entire Eagle Kingdom, I would have brought my dragon and went directly to the door. This sentence is not bragging. At the level of dragon knights, he is already Invincible exists, but the strength of his men is too weak.

It is too risky to annex the Eagle Kingdom alone with the Flame Kingdom.

It is possible to face not only the Eagle Kingdom, but also Iron Ridge, Blast Furnace, and even several other neighboring kingdoms-it is hard to say that the Eagle Kingdom will not ask for help, after all, the Eagle Royal Family once revealed to the Guishuang Empire After passing the news of the sacred dragon, anything can happen in a hurry.

Pull the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and then distribute a group of interests to appease the neighboring kingdoms, so that the Eagle Kingdom can be swallowed up smoothly.

William Li suddenly said: Liszt, there is one point that is worth discussing. The appearance of the eight-headed dragon at the founding ceremony... I am worried that with your further increase in deterrence, the royal family of Iron Ridge may give up cooperation.

Father, do you mean that Osborn might have been frightened by the speed at which I rode the dragon?

Yes, you have ridden the sacred dragon, you have ridden the fire dragon, you have ridden the magic metal dragon, and now you have ridden the water dragon, it has only been a few years... Every time you have a dragon, the three kingdoms will treat you more I am even more worried, and I am even more worried that the three kingdoms may have begun to unite secretly.

Is there any sign?

Not yet, but I dare not rule out this possibility.

Liszt frowned, this possibility is indeed not impossible. If he were the king of the three kingdoms, he would be extremely afraid of himself. The royal families of the three major kingdoms accumulated hundreds of thousands of years to get together a few or a dozen dragons, and it took him only a few years.

Thinking of this, he sighed with a little self-criticism: It seems that I am indeed too high-profile. Next time I ride a dragon, I should put it on an uninhabited island and don't expose it too much.

The Duke of Tulip Island next to him picked up his teacup pretending not to care, and took a sip of tea.
