The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 610: Determination and Ambition (Third, Alliance Leader Supplement 5/54)

The origin of the Roaring River is unknown, and it is probably a dangerous place tens of thousands of kilometres away - a continent that is so vast that it is much larger than it is in areas where humankind is not yet involved. In particular, some alpine running waters, pristine forests, desert gobies and Great Lakes Dazawa belong to restricted areas of warcraft life.

The Count looked down Lister's finger.

Sydney Castle is located at the mouth of the Roaring River, and the Little River Heart Castle is upstream of Sydney Castle, then upstream is the Great River Heart Castle. Lester's fingers, however, crossed the Grand River Heart Castle and continued to extend upstream.

Ultimately rated in the more upstream city of Sanlong.

“The location of the city of Sanlong is the enclosure of an Earl, a follower of the Raging Marquis. Defeat the Rage Marquis and pull out Sanlong City, then the Roaring River is the inner river of the tulip fleet. This golden waterway not only delivers goods quickly, but also quickly transfers the Knights. ”

“Do you want to use the Roaring River to loot supplies from the surrounding territories? ”

“It's not just material.” Lister smiled slightly, pointing her finger further west at Sanlong City, "Father, Sanlong City's name stemmed from a battle, two dragon knights were said to have chased a dragon past here, so it was called Sanlong City. ”

The Count did not speak and listened carefully.

Lester repeated Yevich's message: "Sanlong City is also the meeting point between the Roaring River and the tributary Sanlong River, along the Sanlong River, then upstream, with a mountain called Sleepy Dragon Mountain. Father, look here, there's a secret iron mine! ”

“Iron Ore? ”

“Yes, this is the news from Yevich, who went into Sleepy Dragon Mountain and tried to capture a warcraft as a mount… I have sent blood servants to explore, once it has been discovered that there is iron ore, perhaps we can unite the Knights of Uncle, relying on the Sanlong River and the Roaring River to do another feat of his father as a young man! ”

Lister finished, gazed and waited for the Count's reply.

The Count did not immediately reply and he was caught in a memory of his youth.

When he inherited the status of Viscount Tahiti of Greg Watts, he revitalized his family and every year pioneered his own wild plunder of resources and battle power. One year, even deep into the heart of the Kingdom of the Eagle, it seized an iron mine and plundered at least 200,000 tons of iron ore.

Because the 200,000 tons of iron ore, even the Dragon Knight of the Eagle Kingdom, came not far to intercept the fleet.

This famous sapphire feat led to William Lee being seen by the Marquis Merlyn, marrying his daughter Melissa. The following year, the Grand Duke himself sealed him as Earl of Coral Island.

Nearly two decades later, however, his youth feats were never repeated, and he remained in the Count's position for more than two decades.

Today he remains ambitious and hopes to go further as Marquis.

The Iron Ore in Sleepy Dragon Mountain was a shortcut to the Marquis, making him breathe a little. Yet he shook his head after thinking: "Lester, I understand your temper now and have great ambitions for your strength, but it's too dangerous! ”

“Father, make a quick decision before the Dragon Knight reacts. The chances of a first battle are great! The iron ore in Sleepy Dragon Mountain won't be taken this time. I'm afraid the next time I don't have a chance to take it, mine mining is less than a year! ”

“Now that you know that I plundered the mine when I was younger, you should also know that the consequence of that one was to draw out the Dragon Knight.” The Count's heart is palpitating, "if it weren't for the Dragon Knight of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, perhaps I would have been intercepted by the Dragon Knight at sea. ”

For a moment, Lester's eyes were still glittering: “In the midst of wealth and danger! ”

……

Dragon Knight, Top of Strength!

The dragons of this world are not scarce, but they appear to be very thin in comparison to the praiseworthy land, and many nobles never see dragons once in their lives, let alone ordinary people.

The eagle kingdom counts as a subordinate country and an evil dragon, with a total of 20 dragons, not much.

Only the Dragon Knight can seize the Grand Duke and create a new nation until the dragon dies or flies away, and this country will also reach its end.

So, but there must be dragons in every country, principality or kingdom.

The kingdom itself has a bunch of dependent countries, and its own dragons are naturally not too few. The eagle kingdom has raised nine dragons, but only six dragons are now integrated with humans - that is, six dragon knights, either of royal origin or of deed, who have served the kingdom forever.

However.

Six dragon knights could not defend such a praiseworthy land relative to the size of the kingdom almost as large as Asia, and it would probably take ten days and a half months to get news from the south to the north. Besides, the Eagle Kingdom has dragon knights, and the Iron Ridge Kingdom also has dragon knights!

The Dragon Knight of the Iron Ridge Kingdom is more numerous than the Eagle Kingdom.

It's just that every dragon knight is involved in a great deal of international relations, and it's easy to get started, especially the dragon slaughter battle between dragon knights.

Winning over nature is a good thing, and if it fails, it is a terrible result enough to shake the national capital.

Why would the royal family give its own dragons to outsiders to ride, just because there are not enough dragon knights, the country will be in great trouble.

Like China, Russia and the United States, there are nuclear weapons, but no one dares to lose them, let alone diminish them, as a means of deterrence and checks and balances.

The Eagle Kingdom, the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and even the Grand Duchy of Sapphire all have dragon knights or dragons. However, they are reckless, confrontational, and involved with each other. Instead, dragon knights rarely wage dragon slaughter battles.

Dragon knights also rarely engage in ordinary knight warfare.

With dragon knights against ordinary knights, almost one dragon knight can destroy countless knights. But you can destroy the other Knight, and the other Dragon Knight can destroy your Knight as well. No one can take advantage of the call, so let's just focus on deterrence and join the war.

How ambitious the Count will be, the years will not spare him, and he is already afraid.

Lester was reluctant to give up this opportunity: “The Dragon Knight of the Eagle Kingdom is involved on the border of the Eagle Kingdom. All we have to do is quickly decide, quickly plunder the Iron Ore, and retreat along the Three Dragons and the Roar River. When the news reaches the Dragon Knight, we have already retreated to the country! ”

“What if it's too late to retreat, Lester? I yearn for the Marquis, but I don't want to trade the throne for the price of misery. Your future is bright, the Knight's glory is always with you, there is no need to be so radical. ”

Radical?

Very radical!

Lester himself understands that such a move is more radical and aggressive than bold. He did not have that personality before, preferring to nest in Flower Town rather than participate in the war, willing to plant fields in small places for half his life, armed to the teeth and then to pursue dreams.

Unexpected to receive a dragon in advance, combined with the power of the smoky dragon and the gift of the invisible dragon on his body, to make his strength surge, is now about to rise to the top of the world.

Unconsciously, the mentality changed dramatically, becoming eager for war and eager for plunder. He hasn't changed the world, and the world has quietly changed him - and, of course, he prefers to call his change growth, when he's just fighting small people, it's naturally chicken and garlic.

But now that he has stepped on the top of the mountain, what he sees is a vast land, how can he continue to nest on the island to calculate one or two Pokémon.

Discretion for a moment.

Lester said softly, "Father, you're right, I don't really need to be so aggressive, but it's hard for me to cut such a huge temptation, so maybe we can make a compromise. ”

The Earl frowned: “How do you reconcile? ”

If iron ore could be safely plundered, he would also not give up.

“Quickly, but this time we brought the Yams and the Golden Wheat Clan together to help us seal off the territories surrounding the Roaring River. Then we plunder a portion of the iron ore for them, assemble three fleets, and quickly evacuate the impacting river! ”

“But security is still not guaranteed. ”

“Trapped in Dragon Mountain, my father and I immediately joined the other Knights to take refuge, regardless of whether the fleet was successfully evacuated, we did not participate in the follow-up… On the other hand, we can notify the Grand Duke in advance, let the Grand Duke come to receive it, and have the Grand Duke's refuge, believing that even if the Dragon Knight were to come, it would not be helpful! ”

The Count's eyes shine, and according to this approach, the battle will indeed be much more profitable, but the risk is minimized and it is already worth trying.

Looking at each other, both father and son saw determination in each other's eyes.

And ambition!
