Sneijder did not die.
The Sky Knight was pierced through the chest by Leewilliam's sword. His strong physique still supported his vitality, but he lost his combat effectiveness and was seriously injured and dying.
The battlefield quickly ended with Sneijder's curtain call, and the Knight of Caraway Castle disappeared. These Knights, who had spent countless resources to cultivate, all ended here because of the Grand Duke's anger.
Liszt, who had calmed down, could not help but sigh.
The number of Knights sacrificed in several years of development was probably not as many as the number killed in the battle of Iron Hoof Island. The Earth Knight, who was high and mighty in the eyes of the civilians, was harvested like a dog. The shock existed in the hearts of every Knight who had won the battle.
However, this was the aristocracy under the Knight system. Traitors had to pay with their lives in order to deter more Knights to be loyal to their lord.
"Collect the names of all the victims and give them to me." The Earl rode his horse and slowly walked through the blood-soaked battlefield. He said in a low voice, "Their lives will not be sacrificed in vain. Their glory will be passed on to their children, and you will also enjoy the supreme glory after the war!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The victorious Knights raised their spears and swords and shouted in response to the Count's promise.
When the shouting stopped, the battlefield that should be cleaned continued to be cleaned. Captain Leiden and Viscount Jonas were busy counting the casualties. Markus rode to Liszt's side and reported solemnly, "My Lord, Russell Steel died in battle."
Russel Steel.
The Earth Knight who joined him with Randy Kettle was second only to Markus. He was one of the first to become Liszt's followers and often attended banquets in the castle.
Compared to the last follower, Leslie Dead Leaves, Russell Steel was more familiar to Liszt.
After a moment of silence, he forced himself to cheer up, "I will remember his name, Teacher Markus. Tell everyone in the Knight squad that glory is waiting on the road ahead. At the end of the battle, everyone can enjoy it, whether sacrificed or survived."
"From the moment we entered the battlefield, we all understood this principle. To be able to charge and die in battle for our lord is also our honor." Markus clenched his fist and replied, "Moreover, we are very honored to be able to follow behind you, my lord. With your strength, you can already participate in the battle of the Sky Knight, and you will definitely obtain noble authority!"
"A noble authority, huh …"
Liszt gazed into the distance. In the battle of Ox Hair City, his battle achievements were absolutely glorious. First, he defeated the Orders of Chivalry in the Mane City, then rushed to the aid of the Little River City and attacked the Nameless Castle. Together with Levis and Tricke, they seized the Green Leaf Castle. Finally, he returned to Oxhair City and assisted the Earl in killing the Sky Knight.
Such a contribution might not be enough to make him a viscount, but it was definitely not far away.
After the rest, he might be able to participate in the Battle of Iron Hoof City and get another credit. In this way, the Viscount of Black Horse Island was already a sure thing.
"One step at a time. Sooner or later, what belongs to me will be mine, and no one can take it away!"
Turning his head and calling "Dosen", Dosen, whose shoulder was injured, staggered to catch up. Snade's sword was far from what the one-year-old Dosen could contend with.
If it was a one-on-one fight, Dosen might have been beheaded.
Touching Dosen's big head, Liszt rode the chocobo and rushed to the occupied Caraway Castle. The Earl had taken the seriously injured Snade to the castle for interrogation.
Perhaps he could find out the secret behind the dragon slaying incident from his mouth.
… …
In the room.
The Earl was interrogating Snade, "What order did the Marquis Bull give you?"
Snade clutched his chest, his breath was weak, but he was surprisingly cooperative, "Defend Oxhair City and resist the invasion of the Orders of Chivalry on Iron Hoof Island."
"Why did he do that, do you know?"
"Of course I know, because the Marquis is going to complete the great cause of dragon slaying."
"Do you think you can participate in something like dragon slaying? The Grand Duchy of Sapphire has lost its dragon. Do you think you, or all of us, can get a better ending? "
"I can't decide all this, but I'm looking forward to change." Snade's eyes were a little unfocused, "The Marquis has already made all arrangements, including now, everything is within his plan. Leewilliam, you did beat me today, but it doesn't mean you can still win in the future! "
"Hehe."
The Earl sneered, "You're going to die, how can you beat me?"
"When the Grand Duchy of Sapphire disintegrates, you people will be buried with it! My children have been safely transferred, and they will regain the glory of Caraway Castle and go further! "
"Disintegrate? No, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire won't disintegrate, but the Iron Hoof Island will definitely be destroyed. In fact, the Orders of Chivalry that Marquis Bull used to break out have been blocked by the Grand Duke's Orders of Chivalry. None of you can escape from the Iron Hoof Island, and your children can't survive. They will be burned to ashes by the Grand Duke's anger. "
"Haha, you'll soon know that the Sapphire Dragon is dead … or not dead, but it will be seriously injured and dying, and then …" Snade raised his head, looked at the Earl, and grinned, "Ahem … there will be a new wave of assassinations. That dragon won't live long!"
"A new wave of assassinations?"
"According to the time, the assassinations should have ended, and the news of the Sapphire Dragon's death will soon spread to the Eagle Kingdom and the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom … Especially the Eagle Kingdom's Orders of Chivalry, they will soon launch an attack across the sea to clear this area."
The new wave of assassinations shocked Leewilliam.
But he didn't show it, and remained calm, "I'm very curious. What good will the Eagle Kingdom get for clearing this area?"
"Sir Marquis will lead us back to the mainland."
"Back to the mainland …" The Earl shook his head, and said in a sarcastic tone, "How much glory can we get even if we return to the mainland after losing our foothold?"
Everyone yearned for the mainland. The Sapphire Family couldn't get a foothold on the mainland, so they came to this sea to establish a country.
Although it was remote and lacked resources, it was a piece of land that could shelter them from the wind and rain. The nobles here were used to the current way of life. The war was far away from the islands, and took place on the mainland. Few people wanted to return to the mainland, so they had taken root on the islands in this sea.
Then he asked again, but Snade couldn't reveal any more information.
…
"What do you think of what Snade said?"
After a round of interrogation, the Earl asked several Orders of Chivalry.
"Will the Sapphire Dragon really be assassinated a second time? I doubt it. I think he's just bluffing, and the Grand Duke won't let his defense down." Levis said.
Liszt pondered for a moment.
He put forward his opinion, "Father should immediately contact Marquis Grindstone and test his reaction. I believe that Marquis Grindstone definitely knows about the situation of the Sapphire Dragon … Or, we can continue at our own pace. If there's any news, it will soon spread. Why don't we see how the other families react?"
Leewilliam was just the Earl Of Coral Island.
There were still six Marquises in front of him to attract attention, so there was no need to act in a high-profile manner.
Immediately, Liszt added, "And I suspect that things may not be as Snade said. His son is likely to be controlled by Marquis Bull, so he has no choice but to defend Vanilla Celery Castle. And the second wave of assassination of the Sapphire Dragon is just a rumor deliberately spread by Marquis Bull. "
