Shatterstone City did not waste much time.
The Dragon Knight and the Magic Shooter personally led the looting, which was too fast. Anthony divided some Orders of Chivalry to continue to attack inland along the scalding river in an attempt to loot all the surrounding towns. The towns around Shatterstone City must be towns that provided shipbuilding services.
Liszt did not participate in the cleanup. He filled the family fleet with shipbuilding craftsmen and a small number of Knight captives, then quickly sailed to the next port.
According to intelligence, the Eagle Kingdom had built three large port cities by the sea, namely Shatterstone City, Seakeeper City, and Majestic Flying City. The shipyards were basically distributed around these three cities, but there were also many small port cities of various sizes used to anchor ships.
On the first day, Shatterstone City was cleaned up.
On the second day, they continued south to clean up the surrounding port cities.
On the third day, Seakeeper City was cleaned up.
On the fourth day, they continued south to clean up the surrounding port cities.
On the fifth day, it was Majestic Flying City's turn to be cleaned up.
For five days in a row, Sapphire's fleet, under the protection of Liszt, fought all the way from the scalding river to the Savage Plains. Further south, although it was within the sphere of influence of the Eagle Kingdom, most of the land was not inhabited by humans, and there were no ports along the coast.
"So, Father, what did we get from this battle at sea?" Liszt rode the chocobo Loki and landed on the flagship of the Tulip family.
The Oxtail Marquis poured two glasses of Crescent Wine and handed them to Liszt and Messiro, saying: "Basically all the shipbuilding craftsmen were captured. More than ten thousand shipbuilders, most of them young and strong. No old shipbuilders were found... The Bull family did not show up, and all the shipyards were built in the name of Alonso."
The shipbuilding industry of the Eagle Kingdom began with the Bull family, there was no doubt about this. Only the Bull family could bring shipbuilding technology to the Eagle Kingdom.
Liszt had previously believed that any old boatman would most likely be a boatman of the Bull Family.
However, most of the shipbuilders here were young and strong, and they spoke Wind Language, not the slightest bit of Serpentine, so there was no way to prove that they were involved with the Bull family.
It seemed that the Bull family had disappeared.
"Liszt, why are you so persistent in searching for the remnants of the Bull Family?" Messiro took a sip of wine and asked. As an ordinary Sky Knight, he was getting more and more high-spirited recently.
In the previous wars to open up the territory, he was a very awkward existence. During the battles, he needed to rely on the few Sword Saint followers of his family, so his words were not tough at all. But now, all he needed to do was sit on the ship and drink wine, and his followers would fight for their lives without any orders.
This was not the power brought by Angela, but by his nephew, Liszt.
Liszt swirled the wine in his cup. "It's not about being stubborn or not. I just want to see if Marquis Bull's grandson is really that talented."
The grandson of the Bull Marquis, Andre Sapphire, became an Iron Knight at the age of twelve and forged Mithril armor. His promotion to Sky Knight was as simple as drinking water. If he participated in the Dragon Knight Reserve Plan, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself. According to the time, he was already seventeen this year.
"No matter how much of a genius he is, he can't surpass you." Messiro laughed.
The Marquis of Oxtail also laughed.
Liszt was an 18-year-old Dragon Knight. He was only nineteen this year, and he was already preparing to build a country. No matter how talented that Andre was, how could he compare with Liszt? Moreover, the Bull family rebelled against their lord, and such a bad name was hard to wash away.
The royal family of the Eagle Kingdom would probably not let such a person touch the dragon.
Liszt also laughed.
With the help of the smoke mission, the talent he showed was indeed invincible.
"Father, uncle, these shipwrights are very important. I hope to take their families with me, so I will need you to take care of them for a while … You can tell these shipwrights and their families to go to my territory and be given houses and land. After I build a country, they will all be free people."
"If you treat these serfs so well, I believe they will happily follow you overseas."
"Let the ships transporting the serfs take good care of these shipwrights and their families. It's best if no one dies. Treat them as Knight prisoners, not serfs." Liszt was not in a very good mood. He captured the shipwrights in the name of destroying the Eagle Kingdom's maritime forces.
But in essence, it was still a matter of capturing serfs, doing the same thing as those mercenary groups.
The dignified Dragon Knight always felt embarrassed doing this kind of thing, so he was not going to show up in the following battle. Unless there were great noble lords participating in the battle, he would not capture them to avoid too many casualties. Unfortunately, along the way, he did not know if the news had leaked, but he did not see many Sky Knights.
After a few days, he had only captured eleven Sky Knights, two of whom were Sword Saints, four of whom were Earls, and the rest were Viscounts. They wanted to come to the sea to make a career, and the local great lords were probably not willing to take the risk.
After the defeat in the Battle of Dragon Slaying, the great nobles of the Eagle Kingdom understood that the sea was not a place they could roam freely.
Only those small nobles with strength and ambition, but no status, were willing to take the risk of sailing in an attempt to fight for outstanding military achievements.
…
The war continued. Liszt stayed on the Flame every day, happy and contented.
Of course, Leewilliam and Messiro would take care of the boatman's family. Among the few Sky Knights, seven of them had already written letters and were prepared to send them to the families of the boatman to pay the ransom when the war ended. An ordinary Sky Knight needed one Lesser Elf, which had to be a grain or a magic potion. A Sword Saint needed two Lesser Elves, which had to be a grain or a magic potion.
There were also four Sky Knights who, because they couldn't afford to pay or were unwilling to pay, simply asked Liszt to follow them and follow him.
The behavior of these four Sky Knights was reasonable.
"You can follow me, but you need to prove your worth. Go, follow my Orders of Chivalry and fight together. Capture the surrounding castles, and I will calculate your military achievements." Liszt said to these four Sky Knights. He needed their sincerity.
Derek Iron Armor, Joyce Dandelion, Speck, and Vernal Ink.
Therefore, they personally participated in the siege against the Eagle Kingdom's Orders of Chivalry. This was a move to surrender, which meant that they would not be able to establish a foothold in the Eagle Kingdom, and could only follow Liszt to the end.
Accepting their surrender, Liszt gave them some time to organize their supplies, bring their families, and board the fleet.
Liszt continued to protect the Sapphire fleet, repeatedly galloping along the coast, cleaning up the remnants of the Eagle Kingdom's fleet.
The expedition lasted for half a month.
The Eagle Kingdom did not show any signs of the Dragon Knight participating in the war, allowing the Sapphire fleet to cut off the hands of the Eagle Kingdom, which had reached out to the sea for the first time.
Woo woo woo woo!
The horn sounded, announcing the end of the war of the sea. The Sapphire Knight, who had plundered a lot, began to board the ships and leave the coast with a large number of Knight captives, craftsmen, and serfs. Those ships of the Eagle Kingdom that could be sailed away, and those that could not were sunk in the sea.
