"It's just as I expected."
When the messenger Knight Ma Grey Eagle left, the Marquis' face suddenly darkened. He looked up at the dark sky outside the window at a 45-degree angle. It was already December, and the winter snow was coming soon. The temperature was dropping day by day.
He put his hands behind his back.
He was not shaken by the news. On the contrary, he was vaguely gratified. He had regained the dignity of his father's generation. As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier. What Liszt did not guess had become a prophecy. This was experience, this was Jianghu, and this was why he was able to establish the Tulip Family.
The Marquis turned his head and looked at Liszt with eyes that seemed to flash with the self-confidence of "your father will always be your father." "The Eagle Kingdom has been ambitious for Sapphire for a long time, and it's finally time to explode. I just don't know if the invader that came with the fleet is Alonso."
"Alonso is a sure thing." Liszt did not look at the Marquis, nor did he show any admiration. "From the beginning of Marquis Bull's rebellion, he has been involved in this plan. There is no doubt that he will be the leader of this war … How will the Grand Duke deal with it?"
You can see the whole picture by looking at a spot.
When the Eagle Kingdom's fleet revealed its tracks, many clues were put together and formed a clearer picture in Liszt's mind than Leewilliam's.
…
Many years ago, the royal family of the Eagle Kingdom, who had suffered from the harassment of Sapphire, decided to get rid of this small overseas barbaric country once and for all.
However, Sapphire's geographical location was very special. It was separated by layers of the sea and could not be occupied.
As for the Dragon Slaying War, before Sapphire was founded, the Dragon Slaying War did not succeed, and it would not succeed in the future. Especially on the sea, with the protection of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom, the Dragon Knight of the Eagle Kingdom did not dare to make a move. The Dragon Knight could not guarantee a complete victory against the dragon.
So.
The Eagle Kingdom contacted the Bull family, and even the Magic Goat family had the Eagle Kingdom behind them. In short, the Bull family was attracted by the Lich plan. By the generation of Marquis Bull, it was likely that they had a deep involvement with the Eagle Kingdom. They were preparing to slay the dragon and transform it into a Lich, while helping the Eagle Kingdom build ships.
Alonso was the executor of the plan.
However, the matter of slaying the dragon was not completed yet. The Sapphire Dragon did not die, and the Grand Duke even made a flashy appearance to capture Marquis Bull. Hence, Alonso did not dare to act rashly.
Thus, he sent vampires to Iron Hoof Island to search for the missing Great Magician of Goat Gathering to ascertain the situation of the Grand Duke.
Until today.
He probably knew about the Grand Duke's situation, or that the Orders of Chivalry were enough to capture Sapphire Stone, or that the Dragon Knight of Iron and Steel Ridge was involved in something. In short, Alonso had begun his invasion of Sapphire, and the problem brought by Liszt was only a small problem.
Garcia and Fox were captives, so there was no need to pay ransom. As long as they conquered Sapphire, there would be no more problems with captives.
As for the Black Knight Family, it was probably because Alonso had shown his appreciation for Liszt that Rommel had given up on revenge and wanted to make friends with Liszt.
Hence …
The smoke mission issued a mission to hide in danger and choose a side.
…
"What do you think?" The Marquis was a little unhappy. He did not see the admiration in Liszt's eyes. Instead, he put on a nonchalant look.
It was as if he had guessed that the Eagle Kingdom was attacking him.
Liszt really thought so.
He ignored the Marquis's previous guess and summarized all the clues to form a clear picture. Everything was under control. "What I think is not important. What is important is how the Grand Duke will react … I think we can feign civility with how Marquis Nesta expects us to gather the Orders of Chivalry to guard Iron Hoof Island."
"Not take the initiative?"
"How?"
The Marquis said, "You will have to build a country sooner or later, but a duchy will not have the support of a kingdom. It will be difficult to develop steadily. In case of a more dangerous dragon-slaying war, the situation will be unpredictable. You are a Dragon Knight and A Qi is a Magic Shooter. Actually, you can choose to rely on the Eagle Kingdom or the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom. "
"What about the Grand Duke?"
"Sigh." The Marquis sighed. "The Grand Princess and I are master and servant. The Grand Duke has not mistreated me, but the crisis of Sapphire is not decided by me. As a Marquis, I hope to take on the obligation of a follower for the Sapphire Family as much as possible. But today, it is no longer an ordinary Knight who can decide the war. "
The Marquis could not decide the war.
Once the Orders of Chivalry of the Eagle Kingdom swarmed Sapphire, then Sapphire's Orders of Chivalry would no longer have the advantage of the sea. Moreover, the Marquis knew very well why he could be promoted to Marquis. It was because of his son's strong play.
But Liszt could.
He gradually understood what the so-called choice was. "To be honest, father, I don't like to rely on others. Whether it is the Eagle Kingdom or the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom, it is not worth it for me to rely on! If I build a country, I even want to directly name it a kingdom and be my own king. "
The Marquis looked at Liszt speechlessly. "Liszt, the kingdom must have at least two dragons."
Liszt's face was expressionless. "I know."
Seeing this, the Marquis no longer cared about the kingdom or the duchy. Instead, he said, "Listening to you, you want to help the Grand Duke when necessary?"
"I am not a person who likes to change. At present, I like the position of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire very much. If I can maintain this state, it is very suitable for me to lay dormant here and develop slowly … But it still depends on the situation of the war. Perhaps when the Grand Duke and Alonso are both injured, it will be the best time for me to appear."
The smoke mission gave him a choice of position, but it was not fixed whether he wanted to help the Sapphire Grand Duke or rely on the Eagle Kingdom. Therefore, Liszt could have a third choice — the sandpiper and the clam fight and the fisherman profit from it. While the Grand Duke and Alonso were both injured, he could take Sapphire for himself.
The benefits of going to the greatest extent.
"Don't be overconfident. You are still young and can fight steadily."
"I understand, father. Now that the Eagle Kingdom is invading, Iron Hoof Island will soon become the place of the decisive battle. You should be careful here. I will first return to the territory with A Qi and organize Orders of Chivalry to go to Oxtail Territory to support. At that time, we will see how the war develops and how the major guilds respond. "
… …
There was no delay.
Liszt directly asked A Qi to send him back, make some preparations, inform the Tulip family of the news, and organize Coral Island Orders of Chivalry and Black Horse Island Orders of Chivalry to prepare for the expedition.
Then, together with A Qi, he returned to Oxtail Territory again, waiting for the arrival of the war.
This wait lasted for three days.
When the eldest prince led a large number of Blueblood Orders of Chivalry to Oxtail City, the Sapphire speedboats scattered on the sea finally found the fleet of the Eagle Kingdom.
There were at least thousands of two-masted sailboats and sporadically distributed three-masted sailboats.
When the news reached Oxtail City.
The eldest prince immediately convened a meeting. Including Liszt, more than 30 Marquises, Earls and other nobles were on standby, waiting for further instructions from the eldest prince.
The eldest prince, with a serious expression, glanced at the audience and slowly said, "My father, the Sapphire Grand Duke, has arrived on the Sapphire Dragon. This is a major crisis concerning the safety of the Sapphire territory, but do not be nervous. The sea is Sapphire's horse farm. The invaders of the Eagle Kingdom are destined to drown in the blue sea! "
"Eldest prince, what should we do?"
