The Defeated Dragon

As the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, which began with the slave trade, apart from the original followers, most of the country's civilians and knights born to civilians now originate in serfs that were looted and purchased.

After generations of lives, these descendants of serfs have recognized the identity of the Grand Duchy of Sapphires.

But in order to continue to consolidate the sense of identity, successive Grand Dukes refused to receive prisoners of war - captured knights, and loyalty and identity were obstacles. Moreover, the lack of knights in the nobility of the country and the influx of a large number of prisoners of war into the country once they are released will result in a loss of national identity.

Without a sense of identity, the country will be stateless, and there will always be an aristocratic rebellion.

Just like Lister grew up on Coral Island in S, the Earth Knight is estimated to be just over a thousand, five or six hundred each time a pioneering order is made to mobilize the Earth Knight.

Surrounding Iron Hoop Island and mobilizing the earth's knights to reach the limit of 700. And the battle cost the Earth Knight 200, especially the Grey Knights led by Viscount Jonas, half the battle - fortunately, the Earth Knight's vitality is strong and serious injuries will survive, otherwise the battle will cost more.

Once the captives are released, it is conceivable how many foreign earth knights the Count will recruit in order to replenish his army.

The treatment of foreign terrestrial knights will certainly be far weaker than that of local terrestrial knights and will soon become mainstream as long as it ensures that there will be no insurgency and the recruitment of foreign terrestrial knights. When coral islands are filled with foreign knights, it is conceivable that thoughts change rapidly.

The knights may remain loyal to the Tulip family, but they have no interest in the sapphire family waging the war.

The sense of national identity will soon fall.

William Lee, one of the great nobles, was not blind to this situation, and he was still happy to accept it. The reason is simple: no matter how much national identity is lost, his power as an aristocrat is sufficient. What really shakes is the power of the Sapphire family.

Lester had to ask, "Why did the Grand Duke make such a decision? ”

“Because the Grand Duke does not care, he is convinced that he can suppress everything, judging by the dragon power that spills over him… In fact, I have speculated that the Grand Duke may have completed the most important dragon riding process through the Bull Marquis's assassination of dragons. ”

"He may have become a Dragon Knight and does not satisfy a corner of national bias," Counton said. ”

Speaking of dragon knights, the Count looked out of the cabin, a little out of his mind.

“Again, domestic shaking also requires morale in the form of a great civil war, and warns nations not to assume that the Grand Duchy of Sapphires has fallen," Levi said. ”

Father and brother's analysis makes sense.

Lester doesn't say much anymore, but he always feels like Grand Duke Sapphire is drinking to quench his thirst.

Returning to his room, he thought silently for a moment: "If the Grand Duke has no harm to me in order to boost morale, instead, he can take the opportunity to gain more fighting power and grow himself; if the Grand Duke drinks thirst quenching, by the time the country collapses, I will probably have the strength to protect myself and still have no influence. ”

Even, he thought.

How can you take advantage of your own momentum when your country is not in turmoil?

How did you get the Dragon Knight's Fight Book?

……

Morning of 21 July.

After four days of drifting, the fleet returned smoothly to Coral Island.

Knowing the return of the Knights of March, Tulip Chamberlain became a long-time rebellion.

Mrs. Marie greeted Lipton and the castle's housekeepers and servants on the road to the castle's hillside. Mrs. Penelope and Levera also departed from the small castle of Coral City to wait on the road. And the nobles in Coral City, getting the news, are just as crazy.

There is still some water on the stone paved road after the rain, but this does not stop the enthusiasm of the team.

Cheers can be heard from afar.

Lister rides on the back of a land bird, wears a simple lining, a leather coat on the outside, an empty sword hanging between her waist and a quick shadow bow on her back. Looks like it's hard to find the right vocabulary except handsome - always watch out for him, even on the boat, and take care of his face.

Keep it dry and clean every day, not only because outsiders look spiritual, but also, most importantly, because they feel confident.

Shamson's wound has been healed and returned to the familiar island of Coral, which is in good spirits and surrounds the Knight Squad for a moment.

But Rocky is spirited, and it may be a little seasick, good for the powerful resilience of the Lower Dragon Beast, so that it maintains its basic riding ability.

“This is what heroes do when they return, I used to always stand in the reception team, and now I love the feeling of triumph.” Livius was similarly shuddered, riding alongside Lester, "seeing his homeland calm and his sense of accomplishment overflowing his chest, perhaps it was the knight's mission. ”

This is a heartfelt statement, with knights fighting for territory, and the colonists feeding knights, each with their own lives and paths, mutually reinforcing.

Lister nodded: "Hopefully we'll see the cheering greeting again and again. ”

“Yes!”

The knights continue to walk most of the way between Tulip Chateau and Coral City, dissolving in place and returning to their homes. Lester and other titled aristocrats head to Tulip Chateau, where they will enjoy their first feast upon return.

The Count walked to the front of the line, saw Mrs. Penelope, immediately disembarked, and quickly walked to Mrs. Penelope to take a deep bow: "Mother, you are worried! ”

“My son, William Lee Tulip, I know you will triumph every time! ”

Livius and Lester followed the horse and quickly walked to Mrs. Penelope: “Grandmother. ”

“The strong men of the Tulip family saw you return safely, and my heart returned to my stomach.” Mrs. Penelope embraced the two of them with joy, "despite the pain of dining out there, you were obviously able to take care of yourselves and your body was still so strong. ”

Greeting and caring for each other.

Lester would still feel uncomfortable if he had been integrated into the world and into the Tulip family, but he was very restrained from his emotions and committed to this moment.

At the end of the greeting, join the team and continue walking towards Tulip.

Lester sent a knight from Flower Town to deliver the message of peace and plan to return in the afternoon, not to spend the night in Tulip - he really missed Flower Town and was eager to rush back to his real land.

“Baron, I want to go back to Flowertown first. I miss my sister.” Parris rode the dragon horse and told Lester.

Lester didn't refuse: "Yes. ”

Returning to Coral Island, he no longer needed Parise's close protection.

……

Lunch party.

After mourning the fallen knights, quickly enter the atmosphere of enthusiasm, each time they travel, the knights have long adapted to parting, and when they come back alive, they inevitably choose to celebrate.

As the banquet rose, Livius suddenly stood up and clapped his hands: "Ladies and gentlemen, I need to announce this news - the Battle of Iron Hoops Island, where we won a glorious victory, and Coral Island, where a new Viscount will be born - my brother, Lester Tulip! ”

Wu La La, applause thunder.

Lester nodded to his surroundings.

Livius stopped and said with a laugh: "Three days later, in Tulipshanburg, we will witness the glorious hour of Lister! ”

Everyone raised their glasses: "Cheers to Lord Lister! ”

“To Lester! ”

“To Lord Viscount! ”

“My glory, I wish to share with you.” Grab a glass, see all the nobles around you raise their glasses, and Lester smiles and shakes the glass in front of him for a while.

Then look up and drink up the spicy flower brew.

Drink into your throat and drip smoothly.
