After receiving the order to take over Waterfront City, Leon returned to Waterfront City with Selena and Lynn and came to the Lord's Castle.

"Go, go, this is the Lord's Castle, get away...... Ah, you, you're Lord Lynn!" Several soldiers guarding the lord's castle wanted to drive Leon and the others away, but suddenly saw Lynn, who was following Leon, and their eyes widened in shock.

Lynn snorted coldly and said, "This is Viscount Leon, the lord of Linshui City, why don't you open the gate immediately and welcome the lord in?"

"What, ah, yes!" the guards quickly opened the gate and ushered Leon into the castle.

Soon, the news that Viscount Li Ang had officially entered Linshui City spread throughout Linshui City.

And the news that Lynn had taken refuge in Leon also spread far and wide.

Lynn has been operating in Waterfront City for decades, and her power is intertwined.

When Lynn returned to Waterfront City, the knights who had been loyal to him and several barons who were vassals to him were alarmed.

At this time, those knights and barons received invitations from Leon inviting them to a dinner party.

The knights and barons, though nervous, eventually rushed over to attend a dinner party held by Leon.

Soon, Leon's lord's castle was filled with hundreds of knights and several barons.

Lynn, as a steward, received these knights and baroness.

"Lord Lynn, you, did you really take refuge in that Viscount Leon?" asked a baron lord who was familiar with Lynn, tentatively.

Lynn nodded, and said lightly: "Good birds choose trees to perch, Viscount Leon is deeply valued by Princess Catherine, and the future is limitless, I am willing to follow Lord Viscount!"

"What, Viscount Leon turned out to be Princess Catherine's person?" Hearing Lynn's words, those knights and baronial lords suddenly showed expressions of sudden realization, and they were no longer surprised that Lynn had taken refuge in Leon.

At this time, Lynn glanced at the knights and baronial lords, and asked lightly, "Are you willing to swear to Viscount Leon?"

"Of course, of course!" the knights and barons nodded their heads when they heard this.

Now that Lynn had already chosen to surrender to Leon, of course these knights and nobles did not dare to have any objections.

Soon, Leon came to the front of these knights and barons.

"See Lord Lord!" the knights and barons knelt down in front of Leon.

Li Ang nodded and asked lightly, "If you are willing to be loyal to me, you can swear an oath here!"

"Yes, we hereby swear our allegiance to Lord Leon with all our loyalty!" The knights and barons hurriedly swore allegiance to Leon.

"Very good!" Li Ang showed a satisfied smile, and continued: "Since Lynn once served as your lord, I will appoint him as the governor of Linshui City, and he will be in charge of Linshui City on his behalf, and you must cooperate with him in the future and manage Linshui City well!"

"Yes!" the knights and barons hurriedly agreed in unison.

At this point, Li Ang finally officially took over Waterfront City.

With the help of Lynn and the knights and lords, the operation of Waterfront City was soon back to normal.

However, the rise of the Pirate King Blood Dragon King is bound to clash with the various pirates who were originally entrenched in the Earth Sea, and the waters around Waterfront City are full of dangers, so those merchants still dare not go to sea, and most of them have not made up their minds to pay tolls to the Blood Dragon King.

At this time, in the name of the lord, Li Ang summoned the merchants who were engaged in maritime trade in the waterfront city.

Soon, hundreds of merchants came to Li Ang nervously and asked, "Lord Lord, I don't know what is the matter with calling us here?"

Li Ang smiled slightly and said: "The recent rise of the Pirate King Blood Dragon King has seriously affected your maritime trade, I intend to form a navy to fight to the death with the Blood Dragon King, I don't know if you are willing to help!"

"Huh?" Hearing Li Ang's words, the merchants immediately looked at each other.

Seeing this, Li Ang's face sank, and he said, "Everyone, are you willing to pay tolls to pirates, and you are not willing to fund me to build a navy?"

Seeing that Li Ang's face was displeased, those merchants hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Lord, of course we don't mean this, I don't know how much the Lord wants us to fund?"

Li Ang said lightly: "Now to buy a 10,000-ton ship, about 10,000 gold coins, a strengthened version of the artillery, about 500 gold coins, I heard that the Blood Dragon King has 300 ships, so I want to purchase 500 big ships, each ship is equipped with 20 reinforced guns, the total is 10 million gold coins, everyone should be able to come up with this money!"

"What, ten million gold coins?" the merchants' eyes widened when they heard this.

Li Ang suddenly grinned and said: "Of course, I won't let you spend money in vain, if you defeat the Blood Dragon King, I can take out a part of the loot to compensate for your investment, if there is any excess, I will also give you dividends, of course, if I lose, then only everyone will bear the cost of failure!"

Listening to Li Ang's words, those merchants suddenly thought with their eyes flashing.

In the end, the merchants made a decision, nodded their heads and said, "Okay, we are willing to take out this money to fund the adults!"

Soon, the merchants generously donated 10 million gold coins and handed them to Leon.

Li Ang put away the huge sum of money, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your generosity, I will definitely defeat the Blood Dragon King and live up to your expectations!"

After Leon got the money, he really purchased warships and artillery in several surrounding cities.

Ten days later, Leon purchased 500 ships and dispatched 10,000 Blood Clan sailors to initially build the fleet.

Then, Leon asked Lynn to lead the fleet out to sea, looking for the Blood Dragon King everywhere.

Of course, Leon himself is the Blood Dragon King, so naturally he will not let Lynn get along with his own forces.

Eventually, Lynn searched for the king, found many other pirates, and beat them to the point of crying and fleeing.

And Leon also led Salander's fleet, under the banner of the Blood Dragon King, and launched an encirclement and suppression of those pirates.

Under the joint encirclement and suppression of the navy of Linshui City and the pirates of the Blood Dragon King, the pirates in the waters around Linshui City were soon surrendered and annexed by Li Ang.

Half a month later, the pirate ships under the command of Li Ang, the Blood Dragon King, had swelled to thousands of ships, and the number of people had reached 100,000.

These pirates had all been subdued by Leon using blood golem magic, and Leon divided them into hundreds of fleets, entrenched between the Western Continent and the Middle-earth Continent, completely controlling the shipping routes between the two continents.

At this time, Leon let Lynn lead the fleet and pretend to start a decisive battle with him, the pirate fleet of the Blood Dragon King.

Eventually, after a realistic exercise, the Waterfront Navy and the Blood Dragon King Pirates were tied.

Then, Leon led the navy of Linshui City and returned to Linshui City as a victor.

Those merchants hurriedly greeted them and congratulated one after another, "Congratulations to Lord Lord for his great victory and defeat of the Blood Dragon King!"

Li Ang waved his hand and said lightly: "You don't have to congratulate me, we didn't lose this big battle, but we didn't win either, it just ended in a tie, because there was no loot, so the compensation and dividends promised to you at the beginning could not be cashed!"

"Huh?" the merchants were stunned when they heard this.

Li Ang said again: "However, I have a tie with the Blood Dragon King, and I signed a treaty with him, in the future, all the merchant ships that fly the flag of my Linhai City, the pirates under the Blood Dragon King will not attack, and they will not have to pay tolls, since you are the patrons of the navy of Linshui City, I will allow you to fly the flag of my Linshui City for free, which can be regarded as a compensation for you!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, the merchants' eyes suddenly lit up again.

With this free passage right, the merchants of Waterfront City can trade by sea at a lower cost and earn more profits.

Li Ang said again: "You can tell other merchants that if they want to avoid the attack of the Blood Dragon King, they can also fly the flag of my Linhai City, but they must pay me a fee for the use of the flag, which is five hundred gold coins per ship per year, which is five hundred gold coins cheaper than the blood dragon king's toll, and pay me a fee to fund the navy, and pay a fee to the Blood Dragon King to support the pirates, I believe they know how to choose!"

"Clearly, we will help the lord with the publicity!" the merchants nodded their heads one after another.

Li Ang suddenly sneered and said, "As for those who use my banner without permission and are caught by the pirates of the Blood Dragon King, I am not responsible, and I will also severely punish such a merchant!"

"Of course, of course!" the merchants' faces changed, and they quickly nodded in agreement.

Soon, the merchants of Waterfront tried to organize fleets and resumed maritime trade.

On the bow of their ship, the flag of Waterfront City was hoisted.

Sure enough, after the Blood Dragon King pirates encountered along the way saw the flag of Linshui City, most of them just got on the ship to check it and let these merchants go.

In this way, the merchants built up confidence in Leon's banner.

Soon, the maritime merchants of other cities also bought the banner of Waterfront City from Li Ang, and a large amount of wealth flowed into Li Ang's hands.

So far, Li Ang has perfectly completed the task of taking over Linshui City.

At that moment, Leon's Royal Knight Badge flashed with a magical aura.

Leon activates the badge, revealing the image of Princess Catherine in front of him again.

I saw Princess Catherine look at Li Ang appreciatively and said, "You did a good job this time, not only successfully received the territory, but also leveled the pirates of the Blood Dragon King, and my father praised you very much." ”

Li Ang hurriedly said humbly: "It's a small meaning, it's not enough to worry about!"

At this time, Princess Catherine suddenly said: "Recently, between the three major academies of the HRE Empire, the Freedom Alliance and the Dragon Empire, there will be an academy league to determine the ownership of the alliance leader of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

"Oh?" Li Ang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
