Chapter 0877: Post-War Choices (Fourth Update, Alliance Leader Supplement 7/147)
"Complete the quest and reward the cannibal tree swarm. β
The trail ends with a dragon ride, and the smoke mission is undoubtedly completed perfectly, and the rewards are immediately released. As for what a cannibal tree group is, Liszt does not know much about it for the time being, and does not pay much attention to it.
At this time, his mood was still immersed in the joy of the fourth dragon.
The Smoke Mission turned into a new snake in an instant.
"Mission: Complete the second dragon slayer battle perfectly, your name will shake the entire legendary continent, the sea will tremble when it hears your name, now that the battle is over but the matter is not over, why not punish the traitor in the sapphire with your own hands. Reward: Elven Figure. β
"Punishing traitors is an easy task...... Elf figure, what kind of reward is this?"
Liszt thought about it, had no clue, and gave up decisively. In many cases, the reward of the smoke task is a supplement to the task content, and the task itself can be examined through the clues of the reward. Most of the time, though, there's not much connection between the reward and the task.
Like this one, there is no connection between the smoke quest and the reward, so you don't have to think about it, and you will naturally know what the elf figure is when the quest is completed.
"Sleep, go straight back to Black Horse Island tomorrow, and then bring a message to the Grand Duke of Sapphire...... Although he did not participate in the dragon slaying battle, I don't believe that he would be unaware of the dragon slaying battle that took place inside the sapphire, and it would not be so easy to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
And Liszt was not wrong.
In the Blue Sky Qingshan Palace, the Sapphire Grand Justice was listening to the report of the rat leader, about the situation on the hot spring island: "The dragon knights of the Eagle Kingdom have evacuated, and the count of the hot spring island has taken action to erase the traces on the island, but our rats have found another wave of rats active on the hot spring island. β
"A rat under the command of the Marquis of Flame?"
"It is highly likely that they have been inquiring about the transportation of materials on Hot Spring Island from the very beginning, and they obviously know the news that the Dragon Knights of the Eagle Kingdom are stationed on Hot Spring Island. β
"So this battle of dragon slaying finally ends with the death of the Grand Duke of Copper?" Grand Duke Sapphire sat on the main seat, his eyes dark, not knowing what he was thinking.
The eldest prince Anthony sat down and wanted to say something, but did not dare to interrupt the conversation between the Grand Duke and the leader of the rats.
The Rat Leader replied, "There is no further information yet, and everything is working normally in the Flame Realm at the moment. However, on the night of the Battle of the Dragonslayer, the Marquis of Fire returned to the Citadel of Thorns to rest for the night...... If the subordinates are not wrong in their inferences, the battle of the dragon slayer is won by the Marquis of Flame. β
"Fire Dragon, Light Emerald Dragon...... How did he defeat Alex, Alonso, Loyle, the three dragon knights, and the huge team of five dragons?" the Grand Duke muttered to himself, unable to comprehend it.
Anthony couldn't hold back and interrupted: "Father, do you believe this result, no matter how strong the Marquis of Flame is, he can compete with the powerful strength of the five-headed dragon?"
"I can't see through it, I can't think through it, but I know it clearly, since the rats of the Flame Collar were active on the hot spring island in advance, it means that Liszt already knew about the other party's situation. He can calmly prepare, whether to hide or stand out. This is also evidenced by LΓΈyle's results. β
"But ......"
"Nothing. The Grand Duke interrupted what Anthony was about to say and coughed, a deep exhaustion appeared on the old man's face, "The current situation is that Alex and the other dragon knights are forced to leave, they lost in the battle of the dragon slayer, otherwise it would have been publicized long ago. β
He paused, making his breathing easier: "And we are facing the Flame Marquis Liszt, who won the battle of dragon slaying, and is the future king of the Flame Kingdom!"
"King of the Kingdom, how dare he give himself a title!" Anthony said indignantly.
"With two victories in the Battle of the Dragon, he is qualified to become the new overlord of the sea and the new king of the Flame Kingdom. The sea is no longer quiet, and it is time for the Sapphire family to make a choice, Anthony, this country will eventually be in your hands, how do you think we should choose?"
"This ......," Anthony originally had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his mouth, "or destroy Hot Spring Island first, stabilize the Marquis of Flame, and then send someone to contact the Royal Family of Steel Ridge?" β
"Don't meddle in the hot spring island, Liszt has already noticed the hot spring island, and this is left to him to deal with it himself, and also test his thoughts by the way...... We are in an awkward position, Anthony, external forces can never last, all we can rely on is the sapphire dragon. β
And.
The Grand Duke of Sapphire was a little bitter in his heart, he had signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Liszt, but he was watching the fire from the other side - this young dragon knight was not a master who could be easily dismissed.
......
After returning to Black Horse Island.
Liszt arranged for Duke Piero to go down, and the other party was a consummation-level sky knight with not weak strength, so although he could be treated well, the necessary shackles still had to be put on.
As for the Gray Iron Dragon Orn, he did not bring Dark Horse Island, but temporarily placed it on the Mind Island to recuperate. Orn had woken up, still a little resistant to the fact that he was ridden, and was silent. However, he accepted the potion given to him by Liszt, and acquiesced in his relationship with Liszt.
No matter how the battle of the mind is won, as long as it wins, with the arrogant character of the dragon, it will not deny the dragon knight.
Subsequently.
Non-stop, Liszt went to the Tulip Fort on Coral Island and met the Marquis of Oxtail: "Father, there is a matter that needs to be handed over to you. β
"What's the matter?"
"The day before yesterday, there was a battle of dragon slaying on the sea to the north. Liszt simply stated the battle, without deliberately exaggerating the battle situation or using a bumpy tone.
However, when the bronze dragon knight Loyle Bronze died, the Duke of Grey Iron was captured, and the Grey Iron Dragon Orn became Liszt's mount...... Such news was said casually, and the Marquis of Ushio was still so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
Until Liszt quietly drank a cup of tea.
He tried to digest the news and restore his father's majesty: "You mean that the five-headed dragon besieged you, and you killed a dragon knight and captured one of the iron dragons. In the blink of an eye, the Eagle Kingdom is at risk of collapse for two vassal kingdoms, and you are unscathed?"
"You can see that I'm healthy now. β
"It's so sudden, Liszt, if I hadn't seen you standing here, I would have wondered if you were my son. Although I consider myself gifted, I never imagined that my son could have such a glorious achievement, and you are far more legendary than described in the knights. β
Among the knights, those protagonists ride a dragon at most and end up chic, but Liszt keeps riding dragons at the speed of two dragons a year.
"Maybe the sea needs a king to stand up, and I happen to be the choice. He said with rare humility, "Father, the Sapphire family's stance in this dragon slaying battle makes me feel cold. As an alliance that watches over and helps each other, they sit idly by and ignore the invasion of the Eagle Kingdom, which seriously violates my interests. β
"What are you going to do?"
"To be honest, I didn't think about it, but if I didn't breathe out, I felt very uncomfortable. You also know that I already have a four-headed dragon and don't mind adding another one. β
"You have to give me a bottom line, so that I can talk to the Grand Duke about this matter. β
"The resources needed to feed the four-headed dragon are huge, and the Grand Duchy of Sapphire must pay for a part of it, but the most important thing is actually the attitude, the Kingdom of Flame is about to be established, and I still lack a subject country. β
"You want to make Sapphire your vassal?" William Li said in surprise.
"Isn't it normal for the principalities of the sea to submit to the kingdoms of the sea. Oh yes, father, you sent a group of knights to help me clean up the Viscount of Cube Island, I suspect that he is a traitor planted by the Eagle Kingdom, and I will go to Hot Springs Island myself!"
