When Liszt landed in the Iron Shell Castle on his newly conquered aluminum dragon, Duke Piero looked at the aluminum dragon with a complicated expression and let out a long sigh.
In just two days, the aluminum dragon had become Liszt's. Such a terrifying method of subduing a dragon left him deeply moved. The last hope of the Grayiron Duchy had been extinguished. For the sake of the Grayiron family's continued glory, he could only choose the path of a follower.
"Your Majesty, five of the twelve marquises of the Grayiron Duchy have been contacted. Two of them have decided to follow my successor, Piefort, and stay in the Grayiron Duchy. The other three are my direct followers. They have decided to move their families and follow me to the Fire Kingdom.
Piero said: "But they hope to see Your Majesty and hear Your Majesty's promise."
"Only three are willing to leave? What about the other seven?" Liszt was a bit disappointed. Not many nobles were willing to leave.
"Those seven are all marquises with large fiefs. I have already sent word that if they want to leave, they will follow. If they don't want to leave, they can stay. In addition, a group of earls and viscounts have been contacted. Only one or two out of ten will follow me urgently. "
Given time, Piero was confident that he could mobilize a third of the nobles to follow him to the Fire Kingdom.
However, he didn't have that much time. To avoid being intercepted by the Eagle Kingdom, he would only stay here for a few days before leaving. In such a short time, many nobles simply couldn't bring their family's resources with them, so they weren't willing to leave easily.
"If the Eagle Royal Family doesn't come to stop them, we can let them think it over before leaving. But the Grayiron Duchy has autonomy. If the nobles are willing to leave, the Eagle Royal Family won't dare to stop them too much. If they really do, I will stop them. I believe the Eagle Royal Family won't dare to start another dragon slaying war. "
"Then I'll mobilize them again."
"Alright, go ahead. I will temporarily stop the Eagle Kingdom. After all, I promised to protect the Grayiron Duchy for twenty years." This was an excuse for Liszt to stay here. As long as he didn't force the Grayiron Duchy to leave, the Eagle Royal Family wouldn't openly turn against him.
At most, they would tacitly divide the Grayiron Duchy with Liszt. Piero was Liszt's representative, and Piefort should be the representative of the Eagle Kingdom.
Previously, there were only three families dividing the dragon, and now there were two families dividing the duchy.
The Earth Violent Family dared to participate in the assassination plot. This was a provocation to the Holy Dragon Knight. It wouldn't be able to appease Liszt's anger without exterminating the family.
The Earth Berserker Family dared to participate in the assassination plot, which was a provocation to the king of a country and the Holy Dragon Knight. Not exterminating the family would not be enough to appease Liszt's anger.
The smoke mission also said that he had to vent his anger on the mastermind behind the plot. He really couldn't take revenge on the mastermind behind it, the Great Emperor Jupiter of the Frost Empire. He could only collect some interest and wait for the future to expand before settling the debt with the Frost Empire.
… …
"Father, why does he need my men to help him plunder the Earth Violent Family? This will make me very passive in the future. How will the Grayiron Duchy deal with the Eagle Royal Family? "
In the Iron Castle, Piefort argued with Piero.
Piero looked at his eldest son and heir as if he was looking at a stranger, "Because he is the great Holy Dragon Knight. No one can disobey his orders, not even our Grayiron Family."
"Grayiron Dragon, Aluminum Dragon. Father, you have made too many mistakes in this matter. The Grayiron Family's glory has declined because of you."
"I did lose the Grayiron Dragon, but it was Adonis's fault, not mine. I never wanted to bring the family to destruction, but Adonis has already set his eyes on the Grayiron Family … The Aluminum Dragon was a plot. You shouldn't have trusted Adonis, Piefort. "
"King Adonis is at least more trustworthy than you, Father, to believe someone who stole the family's dragon!"
"The war's fault doesn't lie with Liszt, Adonis, or me. I never felt that Liszt was hateful, because he had enough reason to take revenge on the Grayiron Family who participated in the dragon-slaying war. On the contrary, Adonis should have compensated the Grayiron Family for their losses, but he didn't. This is betrayal of the alliance. "
"I don't agree with Father!"
"Forget it, you and I don't need to be so dignified. I won't give up on the Grayiron Family, and you won't give up on the Grayiron Family either. From today onwards, you and I are father and son. I will take the surname 'Grayiron' and develop in the Fire Kingdom. Do as you wish. "
After a moment of silence.
Piefort said coldly, "The Grayiron Family disappeared in Father's hands, not me … From today onwards, I will take the surname 'Fallen Iron' and remember this shameful period!"
"Hmph!"
Piero Grayiron waved his hand fiercely, "You're on your own!"
… …
"From today onwards, the Earthen Berserker Family will vanish into thin air, and this castle will be destroyed by me as a warning to all nobles that if they dare act against the Dragon Knight, they will suffer the wrath of the Dragon Knight!"
Pilov and his son had both been sentenced to death by Liszt. Once they were interrogated and found out about the conspiracy, as well as the cultivation inheritance of the bearskin wearer, they would be exiled to the Land of Exile. This was the death penalty for nobles, banished for the sake of their reputation.
"Charge!"
On the ground, a large number of Knights surged towards the castle, while the Knight of the Earthen Berserker Family guarded the castle closely.
Seeing this, Liszt immediately brandished the broken crystal greatsword in his hand, sending a wave of cold fighting aura straight into the castle. It split open a crack with a loud bang, and who knew how many Knights were killed by the fighting aura.
Following the crack in the castle, the charging Knights pounced on the castle, drowning it in an instant.
"This sword is really good. The shape is also very unique and domineering. It's very suitable for me to use." Instead of paying attention to the battle below, Liszt was appreciating the greatsword in his hand with relish.
This sword was seized from the assassin, and at the same time, there was actually a Mystical Dragon Soul Fruit. This surprised him but not at the same time. The emerald dragon's corpse must have been torn apart. If a Soul Fruit Tree could grow on the Soul Island and bear the Mystical Dragon Soul Fruit, other places could obviously do the same.
This also meant that the royal family of the Noble Frost Empire must also have part of the emerald dragon's remains.
"I don't know if the emerald dragon's corpse can be resurrected. This is a sacred dragon with magical power."
Unfortunately, the assassin was still unconscious, the Great Mage who broke the ice was also unconscious, and Pilov and his son were wailing that they didn't know. For the time being, he couldn't interrogate too much information. Regarding the Noble Frost Empire and this conspiracy, he needed to wait for the assassin and the Magic Shooter to wake up.
"I'll collect some interest from the Earthen Berserker Family first, then I'll deal with this Magic Shooter and this assassin."
