The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 895: Unworthy of Grey Mouth Iron (Third, Ten Thousand Dollars Reward 1/2)
This chapter is a reward plus more for "Life Eyes are Clear”.
————
To build Flame Island, Lester just needs to steer in one big direction - more roads, more hygiene, and so on.
The real host of development and construction is his followers.
And he's responsible for pushing loudly behind.
“There's a road to be built, as soon as possible! ”
“The Golden Dragon Valley needs to be mined immediately and prioritized first. The construction of Dragon Valley City must also be on the agenda, and I need to see you busy! ”
“The plantation must be fully expanded and the transplantation of rubber trees must begin quickly, adviser Gaultai. The first thing you do on Flame Island is host the plantation development, transfer all the Pokémon worms from Black Horse Island and Hot Springs Island to Fire City, and take care of the native Pokémon on Flame Island. ”
“Chairman Chris, isn't the cultivation of crystal clay finished yet? Magic Guild is so inefficient, I want you to immediately rectify the research topics of the Guild and pull Lars, the great magicians who study natural magic, into topics that are beneficial to the territory! ”
“Captain Dort, the compilation of the Moon Killers can continue, and the fate of the statues must not be forgotten. The hands of the three statues have not been found. ”
The leader moves his mouth and his subordinates break his legs.
Basically, the current state of Flame Island development.
But under the temptation of war, no one complains, on the contrary, that all the fire-collar immigrants are busy in bloodshed, and that it is really too easy to gain war - more battle than dying on the battlefield, where all you have to do is engineer, map, compile and kill the moon.
For knights, it's not as dangerous as hunting in the woods.
Guiding with profit is much easier to arouse the enthusiasm of followers and colonists than oppressing with strength, which Lester understood a long time ago.
When his subordinates worked so hard, he had free time.
Allocate time with Quadruple Dragons to cultivate feelings with Carrie the Cannibal Dragon Pokémon and, in the meantime, eliminate some powerful Warcraft.
It was in a flash until mid-May.
A demonic message came from Black Horse Island that the negotiating team of the Eagle Kingdom had arrived.
“Father, you will preside over this negotiation on my behalf.” Lester travels directly to Tulip Island, which is under development, to find the Marquis Bulltail.
He is the Dragon Knight, the future Flame Kingdom King, and naturally is not fit to be at the negotiating table himself.
William Lee did not hesitate: "Okay! ”
Catch.
The second time he rode a dragon, he still rode a greymouth iron dragon. Lester now enjoys riding a 60-metre wingspan, grown-up grey-mouthed iron dragon, making him look a little more hectic. Likewise, the Fire Dragon Leo, the Invisible Dragon Bud, follows, and the Light Green Gemstone Dragon stays behind.
Cross the heartload transmission array and race again to Black Horse Island.
Father and son have set the bottom line for the negotiations on the way, and Lester just needs to show up, entertain the negotiating team for dinner, and then stay behind the scenes and wait for the outcome of the negotiations.
The negotiating team of the Eagle Kingdom is headed by Alexander Moonlight Silver, a royal marquis, and Pirlo Greymouth Iron, a foreign minister of the Principality of Greymouth and a marquis of the Greymouth Iron family.
When the banquet was held.
The Duke of Piero, who spent more than a month in captivity, was also placed between seats, even if he could personally take part in the negotiations - after all, he is still the Duke of the Principality of Grey Iron and, despite his return to the country, will be almost bombarded by his family and ministers.
Losing a dragon is such a sin that the king of a nation cannot afford it.
“Pirlo, what's going on in the country?” The Duke of Pierrot asked with hope that the Kingdom of the Eagle had finally sent someone to negotiate and that he would soon be free.
Pierlo looked at the old lords.
The captive's career did not make him gloomy; instead, the Duke of Pierrot's face was blushing. He was eating well in Black Horse Island, and he thought he was going to have tea, but who knows how much he loves the food here? He eats a lot of food every day - except magic and warcraft meat.
“Duchess.” Pierlo used a strange name, always known as "Your Highness”.
The Duke of Pierrot turned cold, and his heart was also cold, and a bad perception rose rapidly at the bottom of his heart: "Pierlo, what's going on? ”
The banquet atmosphere was not lively, only Marquis Lee William and Marquis Alexander had an unspoken conversation.
Pierre responded softly: "We will try to redeem you, but also ask the Duchess that you be able to bear your own weight, and to this day the Greymouth Iron Family can no longer afford to suffer more… This negotiation is dominated by the Marquis of Alexandria, you understand. ”
“What do you mean!” Marquis Piero's face rose instantly and his voice became unconsciously loud, attracting the attention of everyone at the banquet.
But it soon returned to normal, and the conversation continued as if Piero and Pirlo had not been seen arguing.
Pirlo coughed, a little embarrassed: "This is a family decision, please don't blame me. The Marquis of Alexandria, acting on behalf of the royal family, is fully committed to the situation you have created as a result of the royal war, and hopes that the Duke will not act in an embarrassing manner. ”
The Duke of Piero was about to be angry, but he was never able to be angry.
After holding his reddish face for a moment, he suddenly let out his breath. For a moment, the whole person was as if he were a teenager - he understood his current situation.
Family and royal family betrayed him!
And the next day, at the negotiating table, that proved it. Alexander, Pierre and Lee William bargained for each other, completely disregarding his opinions and treating him as a piece of air.
“Why!”
“Why!”
“I fought for the Eagle Kingdom. The responsibility for dragon throwing is not mine, why betray me! ”
“My wife, and my good son, Peterford... and the high Adonis Moonlight Silver, you betrayed me and left me behind when you were done? ”
The Duke of Piero sits at the edge of the negotiating table in a complex and angry mood.
He thought that the family would do everything in their power to redeem themselves. Even if they lost dragons, they could rise again and regain their glory. At this moment, however, all beliefs have collapsed, and his beloved son, and his most trusted king, as well as his family and friends, have abandoned him.
“You betrayed me, you betrayed me!” The Duke of Piero shouted silently in his heart and his eyes were red.
It's just that nobody cares about his ego, he's all busy talking about the amount of ransom.
Marquis Bulltail took the initiative and was unwilling to retreat at all: "On behalf of Lester Flame, King of the Flame Kingdom, I repeat our bottom line again! ”
Sound is not loud, but very calm: “First, not limited to the Grey Mouth Iron Family or the Eagle Royal Family, a dragon elf not older than 200 years old, and must be a grain, magic dragon elf; second, 400,000 serfs, including 30,000 craftsmen, must be of reasonable age distribution; third, jade stones, magic, metals, precious stones, armored weapons resources. The above three conditions are met and the freedom of the Duke of Piero is returned directly. ”
Alexander argued aloud: "Marquis Lee William, you are blatantly robbing! ”
Li William smiled slightly: “You can understand that too. ”
“You!”
“Oh, right. ”
Li William took up the green tea on the table and took a sip: “King Lister has also told us a little that the Greymouth Iron family is no longer worthy of the noble name 'Greymouth Iron' and must change its name immediately. This is not a ransom, but a compulsory order from the Fire King, and if the Greymouth Iron Family does not want to change it, there is no need to exist. ”
