The Defeated Dragon

In addition to the elite Earth Knight, Wade Dry Firewood, Lester also selected four Earth Knights. Counting the three chosen by the Count, fifteen chosen by the Viscount, there are eight remaining old and weak earth knights to be chosen by the Barons.

That's right.

First edition of the knight, done.

The loyalty of these knights cannot yet be assured, and their future must be determined by their performance. As for the knights who chose to pay the ransom, it was simply a bundle. But don't worry, knights are a fairly trustworthy group on the battlefield.

Being a prisoner is nothing.

You can eat, drink, sleep or even attend a banquet as long as you have time to pay enough ransom.

This era has not developed nationalism, segregation leads to the color of the country is not rich enough, so none of the most fanatical nationalism or patriotism has emerged. Knights' wars are for each other's benefit, and are horny between nobles.

Similar to each other wrenches.

The victorious party will not abuse the prisoner. Naturally, the prisoner does not have to worry about running away. It is time to eat, drink and wait for the ransom from his family or lord to come home.

As long as you don't die in battle.

The battlefield is as relaxing as a vacation - of course, once the battle is defeated, the captive must bleed to redeem himself.

Watching as the castle rested, the five earth knights who had just chosen allegiance soon formed a splash with the knights of the Flower Squad and drank their glasses together. Lester still finds it absurd that something so serious about war is like a game to the knights.

“Perhaps it is really just a game, a game of plunder… Attacking the Sardinian Gulf region is in itself a plunder of resources and does not occupy the land. ”

He took a shallow sip of the glass and responded to a new loyal Earth Knight who had toasted him.

All of a sudden, I feel like this is okay. In case of defeat, you can pay the ransom and redeem yourself. It's best not to die.

“My lord, Wade has a request, I don't know if you will allow it.” Wade Dry Firewood suddenly paid a solemn salute, speaking Serpentine.

The Sardinia Bay area is close to the Iron Ridge Kingdom and crosses the border with the hills. Many knights speak two languages: Mandarin and Serpentine.

“Please, Knight Vader. ”

“On the eve of the war, my family had just moved, and I hid them in a village in a nearby town. I would like to ask the Lord to allow me to pick them up and return with him to the Grand Duchy of Sapphire after the war. ”

Loyalty to the Knight's family.

This, of course, must be allowed. After all, there are family bonds, and loyalty is not too bad.

At least when a knight loses, there is a good chance he chooses to pay the ransom - provided he has enough money to pay it. It is precisely because the local Viscounts have died in battle and no lord has paid ransom for them that these untitled civilian earth knights will easily choose allegiance.

Can't be stubborn to death.

“Teacher Marcus, I need you to take a trip and ask Vader to write a letter to pick up his family. They were then allowed to leave by boat and return to their territory with the serfs.” Lester didn't let Wade pick up his family himself, not enough trust.

He was ready to pick up the other family and send them to Black Horse Island.

In this way, Wilder, who has no concerns, is quickly integrated into the Knight Squad.

Then he looked at the four Earth knights: "Do your families need to be taken away? ”

The three earth knights told me where their family was hiding, and only one earth knight was somewhat swallowed up: "My lord, I am an illegitimate son, not valued in the family, and to me they are just a bunch of strangers. My mother was a serf and passed away. ”

“In my territory, illegitimate children do not become obstacles.” Lister frowned, "You're still young, and after following me, chances to change fate are everywhere. ”

On one knee as Earth Knight stood: "At the service of the Lord! ”

The look was very exciting.

As the second son of a nobleman, he was not valued, or even repressed, and the lords who followed him were equally disregarded, with little hope of changing his destiny. So after the defeat of the war, he couldn't even pay the ransom. He thought his whole life would be sent to work in mines and workshops until he died.

The unexpected option of re-loyalty is the great news - the former Grand Duchy of Sapphire did not allow the collection of prisoners, either to pay ransom or to be imprisoned for hard labour.

More importantly.

The Lord does not care about the identity of his bastard son.

……

Weapons, armor, appliances, food… As soon as they are counted, they are distributed to each knight's head in accordance with the battle merit.

These items will certainly not be split up now, but will all be moved to the harbour towns by the sea. There are many mercenary groups, second-hand traffickers - gems, crystals, jade stones, metals - that are part of the trade, of course, the slave trade.

“Father, I don't need anything else, I just want a serf.” Lister's purpose is clear.

“I will have Captain Mickey convert that part of your spoils of war into serfs, and the merchant ship that brings them will also draw a portion to transport serfs for you. ”

“Thank you father. ”

“Don't forget to pay the rent. ”

“You have to give me a discount, at least 20% cheaper than my uncle's merchant ship. ”

“Ten percent, no more, and if you're not my son, I'll charge you 30 percent premium. ”

“Okay.” Talking business between fathers and sons is also the norm between nobles, after all Lister has been separated and belongs to an independent individual.

He leaves Marcus from the Knight Squad and is solely responsible for the serf-trade.

“Teacher Marcus, the serfs sent by the mercenary regiment can be accepted as long as they are not patients. Even disabled serfs can be sent to Black Horse Island as long as he has a little craftsmanship. ”

“Sir, I understand! ”

……

The slave trade has already opened.

And the footsteps of the war are fast moving forward, keeping in touch with other Knights, Coral Island Knights, after a full night's rest in the River Fort, set out again, attacking a wider area and plundering all the riches on the earth. The Knights of the Little Lord were simply unable to stop their attack.

Lester, in particular, led nine blizzard beasts into the attack each time, a rock puncture, always disrupting the formation of the Knights of Hostility and completing the defeat.

Win one glorious victory after another.

Even if the Knights hide in the castle, they will not be able to resist the native magic of the Snowbeast. For a time it was like a broken bamboo, with him as the arrow, the Knights of Coral Island joined four small cities, directly pushing the first big city - Hayabusa, the land of the Count of Hayabusa.

The name of the Falcon City means that the city witnessed by the Falcon is naturally the Count of the Falcon - Tusk Chanel Leaf.

At this moment the falcon meets in the vanilla leaf fortress on the hillside east of the city.

Count Falcon's face was gloomy and a meeting of followers was held: "When warned by the Marquis of the Rattlesnake, the disgusting flies of the sapphire returned, this time they chose the Sardinian Gulf area. And the marquis of the pheasant across the street, so all our lords of Sardinia Bay must unite! ”

The followers howled: "obey the orders of the Lord! ”

Tusk Eagle Falcon's eyes swept through all the knights and revealed a satisfied smile: "Well, then, let's … guard the vanilla leaf castle dead! ”
