Chapter 1034: New Expectations
Emily's compliments were genuine, and in fact even Liszt himself felt great.
He's already ridden an eight-headed dragon, and he has Archer, a unicorn-ridden sorcerer, and Laird Truth, a new sorcerer.
It is equivalent to bringing together the combat power of ten people standing at the peak of strength.
From the level of the Dragon Slayer War, it is enough to overthrow the rule of the Eagle Kingdom in one battle, but from the basic level, the knight class of the Flame Kingdom is still too small to replace the Eagle Kingdom to rule such a large territory. And the Eagle Kingdom won't want to take over the Dragon Slayer War.
Adonis Moonsilver's strategy was simple: stay out of the fight, gather strength, and then frantically ask for help to contain Liszt's expansion.
He had already revealed the news of the Divine Dragon to the Kushan Empire, and it was obvious that the Immortal Radiance Empire and the Blue Dragon Empire had probably received the news one after another. It's just that the two empires are too far apart, and it's not easy to come and snatch the invisible dragon, or plan something in the dark.
This is also one thing that Liszt is most wary of, and he does not dare to rashly launch a dragon slaying war, for fear that the two empires will take advantage of the dragon slaying war to secretly murder him.
It's hard to say that the hole cards of the Phoenix incarnation are not exposed.
Who knows if there are any unimaginable means of an empire that has been inherited for thousands of years.
"And the battle of dragon slaying defeated the Eagle Kingdom, and it was impossible to snatch so many dragons, and the soul imprint was a huge trouble. He sighed inwardly.
The Soul Imprint has a huge blessing effect on the dragon's mental world, and it is not only the dragon that you have to face, but a dragon knight of the consummation stage.
You must use the Lost Dragon Mind Fruit to lock the dragon itself in order to consume it again and again, and finally erase the soul imprint.
He only has two Lost Dragon Soul Fruits now, and it is not cost-effective to use them on the dragons of the Eagle Kingdom - even if he has the hind legs of the Jade Dragon, if he wants to cultivate the Mind Fruit Tree and produce new Lost Dragon Soul Fruit, it will definitely cost a huge price, and even use the dragon's corpse as nutrients to cultivate the fruit tree.
At the beginning, the Soul Fruit Tree on the Soul Island relied on the nutrition of the light emerald dragon Ethan to bear fruit.
In other words, it may be that a dragon can produce two to three dragon soul fruits as nutrients. It sounds very lucrative, but it is too difficult to execute such a thing as killing a dragon and taking fruits, after all, the resources spent to cultivate an adult dragon are absolutely astronomical.
The Kushan Empire has the remains of the Emerald Dragon, which can cultivate the Lost Dragon Mind Fruit, and I have not seen the dragons of the Kushan Empire grow wildly, which shows the complexity of the use restrictions.
"However, I don't know if I can try to unite with the Steel Ridge Kingdom, or even with the Blast Furnace Fort Kingdom and carve up the Eagle Kingdom?" he thought about it with a different set of plans, "The Flame Kingdom is destined to rise, I have an invisible dragon, even the Kushan Empire can't assassinate me, and Steel Ridge and Blast Furnace Fort have no means to destroy me." ”
Since the Kingdom of Flames cannot be destroyed, the only choice in front of Steel Ridge and Blast Furnace Fort is passive confrontation and active cooperation.
There is no difference between passive confrontation and chronic waiting for death, and with the political methods of the two royal families for many years, it should be able to be recognized.
Then active cooperation is a more suitable choice, to carve up the Eagle Kingdom together and then grow together, and after the strength increases, it will also have more confidence to deal with the rise of the Flame Kingdom.
"In fact, no matter how I choose, I can't feel that I can stop my rise, and with the growth rate of my strength, I will soon become a behemoth...... However, I can try to convince Steel Ridge and Blast Furnace Castle that I only covet the continental lands of the Eagle Kingdom, and when I annex some of the Eagle Kingdom, I will be satisfied and stand with them. ”
He didn't bother with this kind of brain-wrenching diplomatic strategy.
Just go back and leave it to the development committee to worry about.
......
The Frontier War of the 156th Autumn of the Sapphire Calendar began in October with the successive raiding of the two rich coastlines of the Dense Promenade and the Gulf of Aden, and ended by the end of December.
The charging knights returned to their territory, embraced their wives and children, and brought back countless trophies.
This time, tens of thousands of Earth Knights, more than 100,000 trainee knights, and hundreds of thousands of serfs were forced to migrate to the Flame Kingdom. Among them, there were also a large number of noble lords, but a large number of these noble lords were directly surrendered and were not treated as prisoners.
Their wealth Liszt was not embarrassed to take it by force.
There were very few captives actually captured, and even fewer were willing to pay a ransom in exchange for freedom - because there was no point in going back, the entire dense promenade and the Gulf of Aden were already empty, and the population, resources, elves, etc., were all packed and taken away like goose plucking.
The Fire Dragon Cargo Ship and the Iron Dragon Battleship are like buses, going back and forth between the Soul Island and the coastline.
The Eagle royal family got the information that the rats passed back, and Adonis didn't know what Liszt thought, but he was definitely very comfortable. As the last fleet left the mainland coastline, he also departed, returning to the Isle of Flames, silently taking stock of the gains of the Frontier War.
Compared to last year's hasty development order, this year is well prepared and larger, so the population and resources are more than four times that of last year.
It's a pity that there are too many great nobles who surrender, and Liszt didn't get much elf supplements.
Only a few elves and a group of elf insects were replenished, and it was not as big as the elves that were bred on the Flame Island.
"Father, the knights who joined the pioneer order this time must be carefully arranged and strictly supervised. Many of them used to run mercenary groups in secret, doing shady business. I don't want them to come to the Flame Kingdom and bring this ethos with them. ”
"Don't worry, I'll manage these knights carefully. ”
"All nobles who violate the law, no matter how high the title, must be dealt with severely...... Some of the words that are not taught are not merciful, father, why don't you draft a "Code of Management for the Knights of the Flame Kingdom" in my name, stipulating what behaviors should be encouraged and which ones must be forbidden. ”
"The Development Committee has been compiling the laws of the future Flame Kingdom recently, and the main body has been completed, and if you just extract some regulations from it, you can compile the "Flame Kingdom Knight Management Code". William Li explained that the biggest task of his development committee is to prepare for the founding of the country.
A country, especially a kingdom.
Once established, all aspects of laws and regulations, social systems, production and construction, diplomatic strategies, internal frameworks, and knightly feuds must be improved as soon as possible, otherwise the country will be chaotic sooner or later. In fact, if it weren't for Liszt's powerful deterrent, the current situation in the Kingdom of Flames would have been in chaos a long time ago.
The composition of the population is too unbalanced.
The Moon Killer is currently the largest group of people, but most of them belong to the bottom, and they may be happy at first because they have walked out of the forest and lived a well-fed life, but over time they see that other people are living better, and their mentality will inevitably explode. Fortunately, the ancient magicians in the Moon Slayer have been properly settled, and the grievances of the low-level serfs are not a big problem.
The second largest group of people were the Eagle People, all of whom migrated in batches, some were captives and surrendered, and some were sold by serfs. Factors such as language, culture, and customs make it inevitable that the eagle people will huddle together for warmth, which is a very big estrangement. Even if the Eagle people are forcibly dispersed and placed in different cities, there will still be a phenomenon of forming a party.
Then the patriarchs, known as the Flame People, were the most loyal to Liszt, but the number was too small.
In a word.
The Kingdom of Flames is a plate of loose sand that is stubbornly pinched together by Liszt, dominated by strong strength, and maintained by the strict classification of nobles, commoners, and serfs under the knightly system.
It will take a long time to be completely solidified to convert all people into Flame Kingdom subjects.
This point is not worried about Liszt, as long as he exists for a day, the Flame Kingdom will not be in chaos.
He now has a new expectation: "It's almost the New Year's Day, and the envoy group of the Red and White Rose family should also arrive soon, and I don't know what kind of gift my old friend will send this year." ”
