The Defeated Dragon

()...,

The scene of the battle is very intense, the charge of horseback riding, the archery of defending the city, and the castle fell in an instant. The big fief nobles have already been relocated by the Eagle Royal Family, and the rest are small nobles who are unwilling to abandon their fiefs, and there is no way to raise a large-scale resistance force.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Flame had the opportunity to drive straight into it, and the Knights were invincible all the way. Every time they passed a castle, they either broke the castle or the nobles in it surrendered.

Then.

The logistics team that received the captives and serfs began to pack, and shipped all the materials through horse-drawn carts and wheelbarrows, and sent them to the seaside continuously.

Then it will be transported by fire dragon merchant ships and iron dragon warships by the sea.

Among the seven mermaids, only Bruposi, Duke of the Sea of ​​Salt Water, stayed behind in the waters of Flame Island, driving the serfs to work, and the other six mermaids came to participate in the transportation. A three-masted ship, transporting full supplies or people, returned to Soul Island.

On a hill in the front line, Liszt and Emily stood side by side.

Behind them are two sleeping dragons, the light emerald dragon Ethan and the invisible dragon Bard.

Your Majesty, this year's punishment order is over, and there will be no more resources to plunder in the coastal hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom. Where will next year's punishment order be plundered? Emily asked.

Along the several big rivers, you can still plunder a lot of rich areas, but going back and forth will waste some time. Fortunately, the domestic shipbuilding industry is booming, and the sailor reserve is also sufficient, which can support the long-distance journey of the Knights. Liszt narrowed his eyes. , However, whether it is necessary or not is still ambiguous for the time being.

Emily looked up at Liszt: If you don't do this, is there any other way?

Have.

Um?

Mary recently reported to me that the eagle royal family and the Iron Ridge royal family had several secret meetings in private, and they may have to put aside their previous suspicions and form an alliance with each other. A large part of Liszt's information comes from the blood of Mary Dawnbreaker. Knights, a large number of blood servants under its banner.

As the First Minister of Defense, although Emily has no direct affiliation with Mary, she also knows some information: Your Majesty thinks that the Kingdom of Iron Ridge may unite with the Kingdom of Eagles and adopt a war stance against our country?

It may not be my Flame Kingdom, it may be the Sapphire Principality, the blood servants found the rats of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and flooded into the Sapphire Principality in large numbers.

Moreover, a large number of shipyards have been built in the sea area north of the Kingdom of Iron Ridge, and a considerable number of fleets have already assembled.

In the past, the land kingdoms had no interest in the sea. Only the Eagle Kingdom secretly planned a dragon slaying battle to eliminate the fly of the Sapphire Principality, and colluded with the Bull family to build a fleet.

However, when Liszt and A Ke rose from the sea.

The original land king's perception of the barren and barren sea has been quickly changed, and the royal families of various countries have already understood that there may not be no resources above the sea. Therefore, the royal family of Iron Ridge also began to plan a fleet in secret, and could fight across the sea at any time and invade the blue sea-the shell sea probably no one would dare to touch.

Building a fleet and sending out rats are indeed preparations for war. Your Majesty, I need to discuss with Marquis Marquis, and then make preparations for war defense. The adult Emily has become a qualified commander, The Principality of Sapphire is the primary goal. Soul Island is the first to bear the brunt.

There is Might and Magic Gate on Soul Island, which is the only way for the Flame Kingdom to attack the Eagle Kingdom. One can imagine the strategic value here.

It is a battleground for military strategists.

At least the eagle royal family must dream of destroying the soul island, destroying the heart reed teleportation array, and cutting off the gateway of the flame kingdom from the sea to the east.

Mary will return from the Iron Ridge Kingdom in a few days, bringing back the latest developments of the Iron Ridge royal family.

If there is a sea war, will the Iron Ridge royal family and the Eagle royal family send dragon knights to launch a new round of dragon-slaying battle? When Emily spoke, there was a trace of excitement in her eyes, since she became a dragon knight , Haven't participated in a real dragon slaying battle yet.

I have only practiced with Liszt a few times... riding a dragon to fight or fighting with each other.

Embracing Emily's slender and powerful waist, Liszt said with pride: It doesn't matter whether you start it or not. The outcome of a conventional naval battle or a dragon slaying battle is already doomed. The sea has one and only one master, not just Bibo. The sea, the sea of ​​shells, but the whole sea!

Emily leaned her head gently on Liszt's shoulder, feeling Liszt's pride, her original excitement faded slightly, but a lot of sweetness arose instead: Yes, my majesty the king.

...

The disciplinary order lasted for four full months, from the beginning of August to the end of November.

Since the Eagle Kingdom continued to pursue the strategy of non-resistance, Liszt unceremoniously scraped off the land three feet, packed away all the population and supplies on the ground, and harvested even the immature crops on the ground. Take it away - there is no one here anyway, so there is no need to leave any resources behind.

Post-war statistics.

A total of 800,000 people were plundered, of which 200,000 were allocated to the fief nobles, and the remaining 600,000 were obtained by Liszt and his sealed city nobles.

The big elves didn't get one, they all migrated away with the big nobles, and the little elves only got three.

The rest are all elf worms owned by some minor nobles.

Overall, this year's disciplinary order harvests are not as good as last year's pioneering order except for the richer population. Most of the knights captured and incorporated are small nobles with poor talent and poor character. William Lee, Duke of Tulip Island, concluded at a meeting of the Foreign Cabinet.

It seems that the Eagle Kingdom's method of relocating the nobles allowed them to stop a lot of losses in time. Piero, Duke of Wutong Island, sighed.

Di Maria, the Marquis of Pea Island, said disappointedly: There may be nowhere to fight the disciplinary order next year. We need to open up a new battlefield. He is eagerly looking forward to the war. Without enough war meritorious service, how can his duke title be realized.

Perhaps the Principality of Fengxue Mountain is a breakthrough direction?

The civil war in Fengxueshan Duke has just ended. With the support of the Dragon Knights of the Yellowstone Plain Kingdom, the Duke of Spot who succeeded in succeeding to the throne is now recognized by the Cornflower Gemstone Dragon. It is difficult to handle it at will. Moreover, their domestic resources are not rich enough. Two disciplinary orders probably means that this principality will disappear.

Liszt directly stopped the proposals of the ministers: For the time being, the Principality of Fengxue Mountain focuses on peace, and attacking the Eagle Kingdom is the main direction... Don't worry about it, the pace of war in the Flame Kingdom will never stop, maybe someone will take the initiative Start a new war.

As if reflecting Liszt's foresight, just as November of the first year of the flame calendar ended and December arrived, the blood servant reported important news.

The Eagle Kingdom and the Iron Ridge Kingdom announced their alliance and issued a war mobilization order to conquer the Sapphire Principality.

The betrayers need to be punished. The Sapphire family betrayed the Iron Ridge Kingdom and their master, the Platinum Platinum family. Only blood and fire can wash away their mistakes!

As soon as the mobilization order is issued.

The blue sea is surging again.
