Andrew Sapphire, the fifth Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the Sapphire Dragon Knight, left this world in January before the winter of the 156th year of the Sapphire Calendar.

He reigned for nearly 30 years, although he did not write many legendary chapters, but he can be regarded as a promising monarch.

In the last five years of his life, there were too many stories - the rebellion of the Marquis of Bull, the tragic defeat of the Sapphire Dragon, the invasion of the Eagle Kingdom and the dragon slaying battle on the sea, and the dragon slaying war between the Eagle Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom, and the Sapphire family was forced to change lords......

Although the Sapphire family has been in turmoil in the past five years, Grand Duke Andrew has managed to maintain it, so that the Sapphire family is still in the dragon family sequence.

"A generation of heroes has finally left. ”

The Marquis of Oxtail, William Tulip, let out a long sigh after receiving the notice.

The friendship between kings and ministers for nearly 20 years is not something that can be let go casually, and now when he heard about the death of Archduke Andrew, his heart was full of mixed feelings. When he was young, his father was killed in a pioneer order, and since then he has inherited the title and followed Archduke Andrew's side, going to the Blue Sky Qingshan Palace every year to drive for the Grand Duke.

Despite the rise of their second son, Liszt, the Tulip family broke away from the Sapphire family followers and migrated to the Fire Isles to develop.

He and Archduke Andrew remained close.

Different from his heaviness at the moment, Liszt said lightly: "Father, hand over the official business in your hands to Di Maria, and we will go together to mourn Archduke Andrew." ”

Although he and Archduke Andrew had a good conversation and laughter, Liszt had never had a follower friendship, so naturally he would not grieve for the death of the other party. Moreover, the purpose of owing a wisp of dragon soul to Sapphire is to survive Archduke Andrew first, so as to achieve the goal of perfectly controlling the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.

Compared with Archduke Andrew, the eldest prince Anthony is not talented enough to escape his control at all.

"Will you take the Dragon Soul with you?" asked William Li suddenly.

"Why did my father ask?"

"Grand Duke Andrew is dead, and the Sapphire family will no longer have enough means to maneuver between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Steel Ridge, and I don't think it's necessary for Anthony to continue to suffer the ravages of soul tearing. ”

He didn't plan to kill Anthony again, so Liszt immediately nodded: "I will bring the soul of the dragon and heal the sapphire." However, the father can talk to Antony so that he can make himself a duke and cooperate seriously with the military operations of the Flame Kingdom. ”

"You're going to continue to launch the Frontier Order in the name of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire?"

"Yes, you also know that it takes too long to farm, or it is faster to start war and plunder. Moreover, the Flame Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom have a deep hatred, and I don't want to give the Eagle Kingdom a chance to breathe. ”

"Suppressing the Eagle Kingdom like this, I am worried that it will bottom out and bounce back, inspiring the possibility of the Eagle Kingdom fighting to the death with us. ”

"The story of the boiled frog in warm water, have you heard of it, father, I launch a pioneering order every year, but I don't let the Eagle Kingdom be seriously injured at one time. As long as you grasp the degree of it, one after another, sooner or later, the Eagle Kingdom will be cut off by me one by one. Liszt smiled.

The Eagle royal family wants to show weakness to the enemy and inspire the three kingdoms to share the same hatred.

It just fits perfectly with his warm boiled frog strategy, as long as the other party does not resist, he will cut the meat non-stop, maybe by the time the three kingdoms react, the flame kingdom has already turned around gorgeously - the flame family may also become the top existence that the three kingdoms cannot shake.

After all, Liszt is now riding dragons at a rate of two or three dragons a year - dragon elves and elves don't feel as fast as dragons.

William Li looked at the high-spirited second son, and could only sigh in his heart that "he is outdated", his thoughts have not been so radical for a long time: "If you are ready to fight against the Eagle Kingdom with all your might, should the Huangshiyuan Kingdom focus on friendship and not offend the royal family easily?"

"Father, I don't have the idea of contacting the Yellowstone Plains Kingdom for the time being, I just want to remotely control the Principality of the Wind and Snow Mountain, as a buffer base based on the legendary continent...... The Gray Iron Principality is too far away to be counted on, the Sapphire Grand Duchy is too far away to be used as a proxy, and the best is the Wind Snow Mountain Principality. ”

William Lee didn't say anything more.

Although he is a father, the power of decision-making is in Liszt's own hands, and he does not think that his vision can surpass that of the dragon knight.

After chatting a few words, father and son came out of the study, and met Mrs. Penelope approaching.

"Mother. ”

"Grandmother. ”

"Is it true that William Lee, Liszt, and Archduke Andrew have died?" asked Mrs. Penelope with concern.

"Yes Mother. ”

"Alas. "Affirmed," Lady Penelope sighed faintly, "Why did Archduke Andrew die so young, he is the pillar of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and I, an old woman, have not yet stepped into the soil, and he is a monarch of a country, a dignified dragon knight, has actually advanced into the soil." ”

William Li comforted: "After all, even the dragon knight cannot reverse birth, old age, sickness and death. ”

"When you and Liszt go to mourn, don't forget to help me comfort Mrs. Salit, although life is difficult alone, she still has the eldest prince and the second prince to watch...... Many years ago, I accompanied Mrs. Salit in the palace, and she was such a beautiful woman that in the blink of an eye everyone was almost halfway into the ground. ”

When people are old, they like to remember and sigh, and the death of Archduke Andrew touched Mrs. Penelope a lot, and she babbled a lot.

But for many more people, the death of Archduke Andrew did not bring much restlessness.

Except for a few knights in the Flame Kingdom who would chant a few words about the Grand Duke when they went to the tavern to drink, the other nobles were indifferent at all - they were basically knights who had taken refuge in the Eagle Kingdom, and they only had disgust and no affection for the Grand Duke of Sapphire, and the commoners were equally cold, and many civilians might not know the Grand Duke at all except for the lord.

Not to mention the Moonkillers, they didn't know there were humans outside the forest a few years ago.

All in all, the news of the death of Sapphire Andrew Sapphire did not set off any waves in the Fire Kingdom, and the country-building was still vigorous and non-stop.

Under these circumstances, Liszt brought Acker back from the sea laboratory. Take the dragon soul of the sapphire dragon, join his father William Lee, ride the invisible dragon Bard, the gray iron dragon Orn, and possess the fire dragon Leo and the bone dragon Winnie, and go straight to the Blue Sky Qingshan Palace.

All the members of the Sapphire family, led by Mrs. Salit, solemnly greeted Liszt's condolence procession.

"Thank you for the arrival of His Majesty Liszt, but it is a pity that Andrew can no longer greet His Majesty in person. "Lady Sariet owes a salute, followed by the eldest prince and the second prince - at this moment, he has not been canonized by the nominal suzerain, the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and the eldest prince cannot inherit the title of Grand Duke of Sapphire.

Liszt helped Mrs. Sary up and said solemnly, "Madame, please mourn ......"
