The Defeated Dragon

The next few days will be the harvest time.

The Earl of Peregrine Falcon did not come to retaliate, and took back his territory and castle, allowing the Knights of Coral Island to completely plunder Falcon City.

Not a single elf worm was found, and none of the knights who paid the ransom was willing to contribute elf worms... Before the war started, Earl Peregrine and his followers had already made preparations to transfer important materials such as elf worms away. .” Viscount Jonas complained.

Viscount Trick said with emotion: At least the supplies we have obtained are far more than before.

He recalled the past: In my memory, I have followed my lord for nearly 20 years, and I have only gained more than this time three times. One time was a thousand-mile raid, plundering large iron mines, and attracting dragon knights to hunt down and kill them; the other time was a prisoner Sky Knight, got two pixies for ransom; once again looting a lot of gems.

Indeed, this time we not only plundered a large amount of supplies, but also completed the involvement of the surrounding territories. There will be no shortage of military exploits. Moreover, it is a great benefit to be able to take prisoners and replenish the knights under our command.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the sudden emergence of Viscount Liszt, it would not be easy to achieve such a brilliant victory. Tricker said, Without Dou Sen's siege deterrence, forcing the scorching sword master to charge, we would not have broken through at all. Opportunity for Xiangche Yebao.

He has not only one trembling beast, but also eight blizzard beasts. No wonder everyone says he is the son of glory... This time his harvest is second only to the earl. He chose to buy serfs, and with his spoils, Probably more than 10,000 serfs can be bought, and the development of the territory will soon surpass us.

Trick asked suddenly: Yonas, where do you think Viscount Liszt's future is?

Yunus frowned and pondered for a moment, before shaking his head and answering: I don't know, but I believe that if the Earl goes one step further and becomes the new Marquis of the Grand Duchy, then Viscount Liszt will be worthy of the title of Earl in the future.

I think so too... The second son of the Tulip family who was inconspicuous back then, who knew that he would become such a dazzling existence, and all the glory of the knight belongs to him.

Actually, it's not just the favor of the knight's glory. His strength is also outstanding. I feel that the strength he has shown this time has surpassed me. Especially his archery skills can already intervene in the battle between sky knights. If He cooperated with Dou Sen to defeat a sky knight, I have no doubt.

Really, he is already so powerful? Before he was an adult, he was still an apprentice knight?

I don't know how he cultivated, but he will become a sky knight in the near future. Yunas recalled the process of dealing with Liszt and made such a prediction.

Trick was a little skeptical: I didn't feel that his aura was stronger than it was during the Battle of Ironshoe Island.

I also noticed this, but his strength has indeed become stronger. Yunas shook his shoulders, As for whether this is the case, maybe it won't be too long before we can understand.

Maybe.

...

Others are discussing Liszt's strength.

In the past two years, his limelight was too strong, unmatched on Coral Island. The birth of elves, the raising of mid-level monsters, the promotion of viscounts, the acquisition of fief islands, plus the elite land knights whose strength even surpassed the old drug-addicted stream, the changes were too great.

Calling Liszt the Son of Glory on the drab Coral Island, no one would refute.

In the past, Liszt was very opposed to such a high profile.

However, after talking with Marquis Merlin, he understood that keeping a low profile is not necessarily the best choice. He is the son of an earl and has the blood of a marquis, so he is born to be superior to others. Showing your talent, as long as it is not too shocking, it will be beneficial and harmless.

If he was clumsy in the Battle of Iron Hoof Island, how could he be able to confer the title of Heima Island.

If this pioneering made him feel awkward, how could he rake in military exploits and trophies, buy a large number of serfs, and rob a large number of artisans from Sunjian City.

My lord, after consultation,

We have 'convinced' one hundred and ten craftsmen to bring their families to settle on Heima Island. Marcus said excitedly.

Very well. After these craftsmen board the ship, they must order the accompanying knights to take good care of them and not let them die needlessly.

Understood, my lord!

By the way, Mr. Marcus, what's the result of the serf trade with the mercenary group?

We have already submitted sufficient spoils, and the mercenary group is driving the serfs to the port one after another to trade with us. The Red Crab Island fleet also leased 20 merchant ships to us to transport the serfs. In addition to the merchant ships from Coral Island, we have three Ten merchant ships transported slaves.

A two-masted merchant ship can carry three hundred people under the condition that the serfs can ride in health.

Thirty merchant ships are nine thousand people.

Is our booty enough for two shipments of serfs? Liszt asked again. He was mainly in charge of the war, and Marcus became the right-hand man of the serf trade.

Marcus shook his head: The mercenary group is too aggressive. The spoils here are generally one-third to one-fifth cheaper than those on Coral Island. After we save the cost of leasing merchant ships, we can probably buy 13,000 A serf.

Thirteen thousand serfs.

It has far exceeded Liszt's psychological bottom line.

But he was still not greedy enough: I'll find a way to borrow some money and try to fill another merchant ship!

My lord, if we buy so many serfs, the food stocks in the territory may be insufficient. Marcus remonstrated, Before you left, you stockpiled food for 10,000 people for the winter. If you transport 18,000 serfs , the food is definitely not satisfying.”

Then borrow money, lease the idle merchant ships of other nobles, and transport food back.

How bold people are, how productive the land is.

He is no longer satisfied with small fights, what he wants is leapfrog development.

At this time, renting a merchant ship will definitely require a high price. Every great lord comes to the Eagle Kingdom to plunder supplies and transport them back to his territory.

This is not necessarily the case. Not all lords can lead the knights, capture castles, and plunder so many supplies. I remember that the family's fleet was not fully loaded with supplies in the last development order, and several merchant ships returned empty. Liszt motioned to Marcus to rent it.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can definitely rent an empty ship, and you can definitely buy food.

Borrowing money once is still borrowing, and borrowing again is still borrowing. He believes that he can receive enough gold coins from Earl William Lee and uncle Messiro to buy empty ships to load grain.

At the same time, he will also write to Gao Ertai, asking Gao Ertai to increase his purchase of grain and store more grain for the winter.

But speaking of it, Gao Ertai's movements are too slow, and the smoke mission has not been completed so far. I wonder if he hasn't stored enough food... Without the smoke mission, I always feel that the rewards for this development order may not exceed The Battle of Ironhoof Island.

The reward of the smog task had already whetted his appetite. 8...
