"As I expected. ”

When the horseman who delivered the message left, the marquis's face suddenly sank, and he looked up at the dark sky outside the window at a forty-five degree angle. It's December now, and the winter snow is approaching, and the temperature is getting lower day by day.

He carried his hands behind his back.

was not shocked by the news, on the contrary, there was a vague element of relief, and he regained the dignity of his father-ginger is still old and spicy, but the result that Liszt didn't guess was turned into a prophecy by him, this is experience, this is the rivers and lakes, which is why he was able to start the tulip family.

The Marquis turned his head and looked at Liszt's eyes as if he was flashing with the confidence of "your father will always be your father": "The Eagle Kingdom has had a long history of ambition for sapphires, and finally it is time to explode, but I don't know if the invaders who came with the fleet are Alonso. ”

"Alonso is ironclad. Liszt did not look at the Marquis, nor did he show any admiration, "He has been involved in this plan since the rebellion of the Marquis of Bull, and there is no doubt that he will be the leader of this war...... How is the Grand Duke going to deal with it?"

Take a peek and see the whole leopard.

When the fleet of the Eagle Kingdom began to show its tracks, many clues were blended together, and a picture was formed in Liszt's mind that was far clearer than William Liszt's vision.

......

Many years ago, the royal family of the Eagle Kingdom, which had suffered from the harassment of sapphires, decided to settle this small overseas barbarian country once and for all.

However, the geographical location of sapphire is very special, and it is blocked by layers of sea, and it cannot be occupied at all.

As for the battle of dragon slaying, the battle of dragon slaying before the founding of the Sapphire was unsuccessful, and it will not succeed in the future. Especially on the sea, and with the protection of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, the dragon knights of the Eagle Kingdom really don't dare to do anything at will - the dragon knights are not guaranteed to win against the dragon.

So.

The Eagle Kingdom is connected to the Bull Family, and even the Magic Goat Family has the Eagle Kingdom behind it, in short, the Bull Family is attracted to the Lich Project. In the generation of Marquis Bull, it is likely that he has been deeply involved with the Eagle Kingdom, preparing to slay dragons and transform lichs on the one hand, and helping the Eagle Kingdom to build ships on the other.

Alonso is the executor of the plan.

It's just that the dragon slaying was not successful, the sapphire dragon did not hang up, and the Grand Duke even pulled the wind out to capture the Marquis of the bull, so Alonso did not dare to act rashly.

Vampires were sent to Ironhoof Island to find the missing goats and assemble the Grand Magician to determine the Grand Duke's situation.

Until today.

It is probably because he knows the situation of the Grand Duke, or that the Knights are enough to capture Sapphire, and it is also possible that the dragon knights of Steel Ridge are involved in something. In short, Alonso began to launch an invasion of Sapphire, and Liszt's problems were only minor troubles.

Garcia and Fawkes, as captives, do not need to pay a ransom, as long as they conquer Sapphire, there will be no more prisoners.

As for the Black Knight family, it may be that Alonso showed his appreciation for Liszt, so Patriarch Rommel gave up revenge and wanted to befriend Liszt.

Thereupon.

The Smoke mission released the mission of the Hidden Danger and the Choice of Position.

......

"What do you think?" the Marquis was a little unhappy, and instead of seeing the admiring gaze in Liszt's eyes, he put on a calm and breezy look.

As if he guessed that it was him who was attacked by the Eagle Kingdom.

That's what Liszt really thought.

He directly ignored the marquis's previous guesses, summarized all the clues and put together a clear picture, and everything was under control: "It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is how the Grand Duke reacts...... How Marquis Nesta wants us to gather the Knights to guard Ironhoof Island, I think it's okay to be a fool. ”

"Not proactive?"

"How to take the initiative?"

The marquis said: "You will have to establish a state sooner or later, but the principality is not supported by a kingdom, and it is difficult to achieve stable development, and the situation is unpredictable in case of a more dangerous dragon slaying war." You are a dragon knight, and Ark is a magician, so you can actually choose to take refuge in the Eagle Kingdom or the Iron Ridge Kingdom. ”

"What about the Grand Duke?"

"Alas. The Marquis sighed, "I have a servant with the eldest princess, and the Grand Duke has not treated me badly, but the crisis of the sapphire is not up to me. As a marquis, I want to be as a follower for the Sapphire family as much as possible, but this day it is no ordinary knight who can decide the outcome of battle. ”

The Marquis cannot decide the outcome of the battle.

Once the knights of the Eagle Kingdom flock to the sapphire, then the knights of the sapphire will no longer have the advantage of the sea, and the marquis knows very well why he can be promoted to the marquis, relying on his son's strong play.

But Liszt can.

He gradually understood what the so-called choice was: "To be honest, father, I don't like to take refuge in others, whether it is the Eagle Kingdom or the Steel Ridge Kingdom, it is not worthy of my refuge! If I build a country, I even want to directly name the kingdom and be the king myself." ”

The Marquis looked at Liszt speechlessly: "Liszt, the kingdom must have at least two dragons. ”

Liszt was expressionless: "I know." ”

Seeing this, the marquis no longer entangled in the kingdom or the principality, but said, "Listen to you, you want to help the Grand Duke when necessary?"

"I'm not a person who likes to change, I like the current positioning of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and if I can maintain this state, it is very suitable for me to hibernate here and develop slowly...... But it still depends on the trend of the war, maybe the Grand Duke and Alonso are both defeated, and this is the best time for me to play,"

The smoke mission gives a choice of position, but there is no fixed saying whether to help the Grand Duke of Sapphire or join the Eagle Kingdom, so Liszt can have a third option - the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, and take advantage of the defeat of the Grand Duke and Alonso to take the Sapphire Nana for himself.

Maximize the benefits of going.

"Don't be overconfident, you're young and you can play steadily. ”

"I understand, father. Now that the Eagle Kingdom has invaded, Iron Hoof Island will soon become a decisive battle, you should be careful here, I will return to the territory with Aker first to organize the Knights to go to the Oxtail Territory to support. When the time comes, we will see how the war situation will develop and how the Grand Guild will respond. ”

......

There was no delay.

Liszt directly asked Ake to send him back, make a little preparation, and inform the Tulip family of the news, and organize the Knights of Coral Island and the Knights of Dark Horse Island to prepare for the expedition.

Then he and Ake returned to the Oxtail Collar again, waiting for the arrival of war.

That's three days.

When a large number of blue-blooded knights led by the eldest prince arrived in Cowhoof City, the sapphire fast sailing ships scattered across the sea finally discovered the fleet of the Eagle Kingdom.

There are countless brigs, at least a few thousand brigs, and a sporadic three-masted galleon.

When the news came back to Cowhoof City.

The eldest prince immediately convened a meeting, and more than thirty marquises, earls and other nobles, including Liszt, were waiting for further instructions from the eldest prince.

The eldest prince with a serious expression glanced at the audience and slowly spoke: "My father, the Grand Duke of Sapphire, has arrived on a sapphire dragon. This is a major crisis about the safety of the Sapphire Territory, but don't be nervous, the sea is a sapphire horse farm, and the invaders of the Eagle Kingdom are doomed to drown in the azure waters!"

"Prince, what are we going to do?"

"Take the initiative to attack and start a naval battle, intercept the fleet of the Eagle Kingdom on the sea, so that they can't set foot on any of the Sapphire islands!"
