The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 951: Splitting the Family
In addition to the Rage Marquis, there is also a Marquis captured - the Marquis of Chongshan, the Elton Golden Chrysanthemum Medal.
The Golden Chrysanthemum Medal family belongs to the old Marquis family, the territory is adjacent to the enclosed land of the Rage Marquis, but compared to the power of the Rage Marquis as a realm knight, the 40-year-old Marquis of Chongshan has only sword holy power.
The Golden Chrysanthemum medal is a name derived from a magic flower, the Medallion Chrysanthemum, whose family's crest pattern is a daisy-shaped circular medal.
The Marquis of Elton was not just himself captured, but the ranks of the Cavaliers of the Territory were almost wiped out in one net.
At that time he assembled all his followers into his Castle of Golden Chrysanthemum, ready to hold on to the castle until the end of the pioneering order, so none of the noble knights ran away after this sapphire crashed into the castle. He alone contributed four counts, twelve Viscounts, and a host of knights.
“Your Highness, Elton has little choice, and most of his family's wealth has been plundered by the Knights and no ransom can be paid for him and his followers. ”
Speaking Rage Marquis Dimaria Rainflower Stone.
Lester's first summons in the study of Fort Bullshoe was the Rage Marquis, an old acquaintance who had expressly taken his place as a follower, and the Rage Marquis was treated freely.
Tea is served separately from the desk and the atmosphere is very friendly.
The Rage Marquis had lived on Black Horse Island for some time. He loved the green tea drink. Since then, he has been smuggling sea salt, glass, white paper and other commodities in secret with the flame collar. The Rainflower Stone family has long been centrifuged from the Eagle Kingdom, and it is normal to swing to the Flame Kingdom.
“Marquis Dimalia, if you succeed, what do you think the Golden Chrysanthemum family deserves from me?” Lister asked casually.
Dimalia laughed: "Your Highness, there is actually a good way to quickly conquer the Golden Chrysanthemum family. ”
“Oh, tell me. ”
“Elton had a brother named Elroy, who was only a Viscount, thirty years old, and yet was already an old sword saint, not far from complete. It was only because of Elton's repression that he was unable to advance to the Count, and Elton acted ridiculously and Elroy steadily. ”
Speaking of which, Dimaliya means nothing.
The Elton and Elroy brothers are both sword saints, but it is clear that Elroy's talents are more outstanding and stable, better suited to be the chief of the family and succeed the Marquis.
Lester can take Elroy to the Marquis for reasons of inclusion, and Elroy will surely be grateful to Lester for taking control of the Golden Chrysanthemum Medal family.
But Lester didn't intend to.
He smiled lightly: "The Rainbow Stone family can be preserved, but the Golden Chrysanthemum family cannot be preserved. If Elton wants to surrender, I can keep his Marquis after the founding of the country. But his followers will form their own new family, as will Elroy. ”
“Your Highness, what do you mean?” Dimaria didn't understand Lister's intentions for a while.
“The Fire Kingdom is a nascent nation and old forces need to be broken, not in case the family grows, but in order to create more families to assist me in ruling this praiseworthy land of the Flame Islands. ”
“I understand, Your Highness. ”
Dimalia makes sense: “Indeed, the nascent kingdom needs too many aristocrats and knights… in fact, to come to this land, even if Your Highness does not divide the family, those powerful aristocratic knights will leave on their own initiative, and His Highness, the Rainflower Stone family is willing to do so. ”
“Hmm?”
“My follower knights, I will demobilize them all, including my nephew, Dipola Rainflower Stone. Now that we have come to the new kingdom, I hope that the Rainbow Stone family will also be born on this land and fully integrated into the Fire Kingdom. ”
Lister smiled and turned away: “You are an aristocrat who understands the truth. Don't worry, follow me. The Rainflower Stone family will only grow and not decline. The Territory has a small population, but there will be an ongoing war in the future, plundering enough populations to supplement the losses of large communities. ”
……
When the second Marquis, Elton Golden Chrysanthemum, was summoned, Dimaria did not leave, and he had been recognized by Lester as an assistant to the Knight of the Collection.
“Elton, you and I have known each other for a long time, Your Highness. I have made it clear to you that even if you do not split up, you have no ransom to redeem your followers. And you can see the growth of the Fire Kingdom, the decline of the Eagle Kingdom, and you can see how to choose how you want to think about it. ”
Listen to Di María.
Elton looked at his face with no expression, but Lester, who had been left to surrender by Dimaria, did not receive any friendly information.
As Lester, there is no need to show a smile to any nobleman.
All prisoners of war, let him dispose of them - either pay ransom or surrender to loyalty, with no other choice of path, for the sake of the great nobility, not even Lester's face may be seen.
“But if we split up the followers of the family, how will the Golden Chrysanthemum family develop? ”
“After three years of serving the kingdom and cultivating land for His Highness, and three years of enclosed territory, the Golden Chrysanthemum family can naturally rely on the enclosed territory to rise again. ”
“How can you rise without a knight? ”
“Three years from now, there are bound to be a lot of knights who can't be knighted, and you can naturally recruit them to serve your family," Dimalia said. ”
“What about my elf? ”
“Pokémon are still yours, it only takes three years of service... or you can pay the price of a few Pokémon to return to your territory in the Kingdom of the Eagle and remain free; of course, if you have a lot of wealth in your territory, you can also help your followers who wish to return to pay the ransom. His Royal Highness has always been tolerant of the nobility and respectful of your will. ”
Elton may have mediocre talent and absurdity, but after all, he comes from a large aristocratic family and counts the benefits as instincts.
After a moment of reflection, he nodded frankly: “In that case, I am willing to follow His Highness. The Golden Chrysanthemum family thought His Highness would serve. ”
……
Following the two Marquises, Liszt summoned two nobles individually.
One is Jeffrey Furong, a full-fledged Sky Knight of the Earl, who promised at least one Marquis title after the founding of the nation, and Jeffrey, the other is the Elroy Golden Chrysanthemum Medal, a 30-year-old swordsman with a good and satisfying talent, without the need for Listerdo to say that he was directly willing to follow.
Afterwards, at the dinner.
Lester invited all seven counts who had not yet chosen to pay the ransom to join in, recruiting and recruiting in person. In hesitation, six counts eventually announced their followers, and only one of the ordinary Sky Knights thought for a long time or decided to pay the ransom.
So far.
Leaving the title untouched.
In this pioneering order, Lester directly subjugated a realm knight, a full level sky knight, six sword holy level sky knights, and twenty-five ordinary level sky knights. And over 800 elite earth knights, and over 3800 ordinary earth knights, and over 7600 apprentice knights.
None of these knights' Pokémon, Lester, were seized, but merely asked to serve for three years.
The number of Pokémon he truly has is provided by four ransom-paying Counts, a total of seven Pokémon, at least three of which are magic and cereal Pokémon as required.
But relative to the higher-level human and material resources of knights and elves, his greatest gain was the bottom serfs, where more than half a million serfs, civilians and craftsmen were transported wildly to Flame Island.
A nascent flame kingdom, the most needed is population supplementation.
Farming the land, sooner or later everything will be available.
At night, looking at this trophy harvest in the study, Lester said to himself with regret: “The only place that is a little uncomfortable, these knights and serfs are all from the Eagle Kingdom. When can we rob the Iron Ridge Kingdom a few times to dilute it...”
