The war had already begun, and the knights of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire had joined the war, mainly to harass and contain more knights of the Eagle Kingdom.

Therefore, after resting for a day in Rooster Crown, the fleet began to attack the established area of Sardin Bay.

Marquis Pheasant also sent a large number of his followers to follow the fleet of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire to attack the area of Sardine Bay. On the fleet of the Tulip family, there are nearly a thousand knights carrying Count Bluestone, a follower of the Marquis of Pheasant Ling, and the knight order to which he belongs.

"Herbert, this is my second son, Liszt, who is the Viscount of Dark Horse Island, an elite earth knight. William Li introduced the Earl of Bluestone on the ship.

"Very handsome lad, very young-looking, Liszt, how old are you?" asked Herbert, Earl of Bluestone.

"Seventeen years old, Earl Bluestone. ”

The title of nobility of the continental kingdom is not named after the place name, but is a title related to the territory. For example, the title of the Marquis of Pheasant Ling is "Pheasant Ling", which means pheasant feathers, which originates from his fiefdom of the Male Pheasant Hill, and the central city of the territory is also called Cockscomb City.

The same is true of the Earl of Bluestone, whose fief is the Valley of Bluestone, and there is a cyan stone everywhere.

As for his full name, it was Herbert Tyttralan.

The Ironfall is a flower.

The naming of surnames in the continental kingdom is not much different from that of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire - the serf class among the commoners has basically no surnames, the wealthy people in the freedmen class will have despicable surnames, and some of the minor nobles will continue the despicable surnames, or replace them with ordinary surnames.

Only middle and high-level aristocrats can have beautiful nouns such as flowers, grains, and metals as surnames.

Although there are no explicit rules for surnames, ordinary people who dare to use nice words as surnames will be punished by the lord. There are even some small nobles who use beautiful words as surnames, and they are also crusaded against by the big nobles, and even destroyed.

Earl Qingshi looked like a straight person, and asked directly: "Seventeen-year-old elite earth knight, talent is very good, you are the second son of Count Li William, so the title of Viscount of Dark Horse Island was obtained by his own meritorious service on the battlefield?"

"Yes. ”

"When will you go to the battlefield?"

"This year. ”

"This year?" said Count Bluestone in surprise.

William Li said lightly on the side: "Herbert, you should know that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire suffered a mutiny, and Liszt made great achievements in the Battle of Iron Shoe Island and was promoted from baron to viscount of Dark Horse Island. ”

"I heard about the Battle of Iron Hoof Island, one battle can be promoted to viscount, it seems that your son has made great achievements in the battle. ”

"He has an earth-attribute mid-level magical beast as a pet, and he has captured the castle many times in battle, and in the final battle, he performed well and won the appreciation of His Highness Anthony. ”

"William Lee, will he inherit your title?" asked Herbert suddenly.

Liszt himself replied, "Count Bluestone, my elder brother Levi is the heir, and he is also an elite earth knight. ”

"It's enviable that there are so many good heirs in the family. ”

With a few polite words, Herbert went into the cabin with William Lee, and Liszt remained in the bow. He also has to train the eight little ones and Shake Sen, who are about to go to the battlefield, and he is still a little worried about the obedience and discipline of the eight little ones, they are all young beasts without adults.

It's not even a year old, and to this day it's only a rock thorn.

......

As Captain Lydon said.

The Coral Island fleet had just arrived on the shoreline, and before a single battle, it had a small harbor with a city and castle not much larger than a small town.

The lord of this territory, when he heard that an intruder was attacking, abandoned his territory early and fled.

So the knights of the Coral Island Knights and the Bluestone Knights landed in the port one after another. Use this place as a rocker to launch an invasion into the area of the Gulf of Sardine. The soldiers were so fast that there was almost no time to rest and prepare, and the earth knights of the Knights entered a state of war one after another.

Liszt also did not have time to lament the suddenness of the war, so he rode a chocobo and followed the count. Sack towns, cities, besiege castles, and engage in battles with the Knights who came to resist.

There is not much strategy, just primitive, savage charge, charge, charge, and charge again, and in the past frontier order battles, the Coral Island Knights rarely attack the castle with a name, because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But this time, with the help of Shake Sen and Eight Little Only, they pushed all the way down.

In just one and a half days, the Coral Island Knights, who had been separated from the Bluestone Knights, went 300 kilometers inland and attacked a named castle located by the river - Riverbend Fort.

"Shake Sen, get ready to attack the city!"

"Eight little ones, follow the action of Shake Sen!"

"Listen to me, Rock Thorn!"

The Count swept through the battlefield, and Liszt personally commanded the Blizzard to begin to dismantle the Riverbend Castle, and the other knights of the Order shot arrows to suppress the counterattack of the Riverbend Castle.

A moment later.

One of the walls of the castle collapsed, and Viscount Younas took the lead and rushed towards the gap in the castle. Then all the knights flocked to the castle, and in less than ten minutes, the castle belonging to the viscount fell under the powerful attack of the Knights of Coral Island.

The viscount lord was killed on the spot.

"Capture all the Earth Knights and take stock of the castle's supplies. William Li didn't make a move, he walked all the way, and began to direct the finishing work at this moment, "Captain Mikey, send out rats, contact the nearby mercenary group, and we will trade materials." In addition, keep an eye on the knights in the surrounding territories and be ready for battle at any time. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Unlike in the past, when captives were used to pay ransoms, this time the Grand Duke allowed his followers to take prisoners on their own, so the Earth Knights, who were not crippled in the war, were all recruited.

The Count is only interested in elite Earth Knights, and is an elite Earth Knight who is not very old, has a low title, or has no title at all. For the time being, it is not Liszt's turn to give priority to the elite Earth Knights, and his goal is to target the young Earth Knights, preferably single Earth Knights.

Such a knight of the earth, once he is incorporated into his own territory and helps him marry, will soon be able to give birth to loyalty.

William Li looked at the bound Earth Knights.

Slowly spoke: "You have become my captive, your life and death are in my hands, and now, I give you the power to choose." One, write to your family and lords, pay a ransom to my satisfaction, and you can go back, and two, if you don't have enough ransom, then you can pledge allegiance to me and my followers!"

More than forty earth knights who were not crippled looked at each other with a disgraced face - captives, allegiance, very common in continental wars, but the Grand Duchy of Sapphire has never accepted captive allegiance, and I don't know why it changed this time.

Twenty-one of the knights chose to pay the ransom.

Twenty-six knights remained, choosing allegiance.

First the earl picked, he only selected three young elite earth knights, and then the three viscounts took turns to pick, Liszt had the highest combat achievements, ranked first, and could choose one first. He looked at the remaining Earth Knights, among whom there were only two elites, one old and one middle-aged.

There is no doubt that he chose the middle-aged elite Earth Knight.

"Tell me your name. "Liszt was dressed in bright silver Mithril armor, with a majestic momentum, and despite his youth, these knights could see clearly in the battle, surrounded by a group of powerful magical beasts.

So.

The middle-aged elite earth knight even had a hint of excitement in his eyes: "My lord, my name is Vader Gan Woodwood, thirty-seven years old, it has been eight years since I was promoted to an elite earth knight, and I have no title. ”
