After the war, it was time to count the dividends and digest the war gains. Tens of thousands of Boatmen and their families, thousands of Knight and their families, were arranged to wait in Iron Shoe City.
After careful screening, these Boatmen and Knight would be moved to Black Horse Island.
Liszt did not worry much about these jobs. He only needed to show up and accept the loyalty of the screened Knight.
The construction of the Flame Territory was booming, and the search for overseas islands was also cautious.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Among the captured Knight, two more Knight swore allegiance to Liszt, and one of them was a Sacred Swordsman Earl.
"Duerte, are you really going to give up your Earl fief and title in the Kingdom of Eagle and follow me?" Liszt was surprised by the choice of the Sacred Swordsman Earl, Duerte Red Apricot. To become an Earl in the Kingdom of Eagle, it was impossible for him to be without a foundation.
To be willing to give up the Earl fief, this courage could not be underestimated.
Since Duerte made his decision, he said very calmly, "Your Royal Highness, I do have an Earl fief, and my family is very prosperous. However, my territory, Binhai, was originally waiting for His Royal Highness Alonso's plan to succeed and make meritorious service from the sea. But now that the Kingdom of Eagle's sea plan is over, my progress has been blocked. "
Liszt could not deny this.
Duerte continued, "But Your Royal Highness plans to establish a new country, and opportunities to make meritorious service are everywhere. And with the strength of Your Royal Highness and Archmage Achilles, dominating the Aqua Sea is just around the corner … My defeat and capture may be the guidance of the glory of the Knight!"
Defeated and captured, but still able to speak of the glory of the Knight.
Liszt wanted to laugh a little, but he did not, "Now that you have made a decision, you can swear allegiance to me … But the ransom still needs to be paid, and I will retain your title of Earl. You can form your own Orders of chivalry, fight with me, and occupy a place in the new country."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Duerte Red Apricot is willing to drive for Your Royal Highness!"
…
Originally, the Liszt family did not intend to keep the noble lords who surrendered to them, and continued to keep their titles. However, when he thought about it carefully, once the new country was established, there would be many deserted islands waiting to be built.
Instead of making him work himself, it was better to throw this trouble to these followers who had defected, keep their titles, and let them frantically plunder the mainland in order to develop the island. In this way, he only needed to focus on the development of a few large islands.
For the sake of their own interests, the nobles who surrendered to him would no longer have anything to do with the Eagle Kingdom.
Just like the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, even if the island was not rich, they were still willing to stay and develop in Sapphire because they could rob it. This was especially so when one could only rob others, but others could not rob oneself. This feeling was especially addictive and irresistible.
Liszt had also tasted the sweetness after a few exploration orders. Now, all he wanted was to snatch!
If the Eagle Kingdom dared to play the Dragon Slaying War, he would rob the Eagle Kingdom to the end and ruthlessly cut off a few pieces of fat meat.
So, he publicized the surrender of Duarte Red Apricot. Of the remaining five Sky Knights who were unwilling to surrender, three of them decided to surrender after hesitating. Only two Sky Knights were unwilling to surrender and were only willing to pay the ransom to return to the Eagle Kingdom.
Calculating the time, their families should have sent the ransom over.
After recruiting nine Sky Knight followers in a row, Liszt was in a good mood, and he wantonly awarded titles in his territory – rewarding the elder followers of the territory.
The captain of the expedition fleet, Yevich, was promoted from a civilian to a viscount, which was equivalent to restoring his official position, but the fief was not yet determined. Liszt also promised that when he found a suitable archipelago to build a country, he would be directly promoted to count.
Garcia, head of the Orders of chivalry of the Iron Hoof City, was promoted from a civilian to a viscount, which was equivalent to restoring his official position, but the fief was not yet determined. Fox, head of the Orders of chivalry of the Black Horse Island, was promoted from a civilian to a viscount, which was also equivalent to restoring his official position, but the fief was not yet determined. These two former followers of Alonso Cyclamen have been completely integrated into the Flame Territory.
Markus, consultant of the Kelp City and head of the Orders of chivalry, was promoted from a Lord Knight to a Baron, and the fief was not yet determined. Gort, consultant of the Iron Hoof City, was promoted from a Lord Knight to a Baron, and the fief was not yet determined. Charles, head of the Black Horse Island security, was promoted from a Lord Knight to a Baron, and the fief was not yet determined.
In addition, seven followers, including Griffin Haystack, who were originally promoted to Lord Knight, were all promoted to Baron, and the fief was not yet determined.
In addition, Paris, the head of the Black Horse Island patrol, Blair, the administrative officer of the Iron Hoof City, Isaiah, the administrative officer of the Kelp City, Zambrotta, the diplomat of the Black Horse Island, Kosto, the maritime officer of the Black Horse Island, and other major officials of the territory, as well as the main members of the Orders of chivalry, Liszt, were directly promoted to Baron.
There were also a large number of middle-level officials and Earth Knights who were awarded the title of Lord Knight, completing the transformation from civilians to nobles.
Although many people's promotions and titles did not meet the requirements for military service, Liszt did not care at all. They were all empty promises anyway. When the islands were found, these promises would be fulfilled. If they could not be found, then they would just be an honorary title for life.
If they were found, then they would be like the surrendered Sky Knights, choosing any deserted island.
No matter what the situation would become in the future.
At least now the entire Flame Territory was boiling. The Knight and officials who were promoted and titled were in high spirits, praising the greatness of Liszt. The officials were full of energy, the Knight was loyal, and the Flame Territory's foundation, which had been impetuous because of the rapid expansion, was quickly solidified.
Everyone felt the benefits of following the Dragon Knight. Now that the country had not yet been founded, they just followed him out to rob once, and the glory was spread.
How much glory could be spread in the future when the country was founded!
Especially the nine new Sky Knights, who had already swept away the resentment of being captured, and began to look forward to Liszt's country.
As a result.
Under the Flame Marquis Liszt, Liszt now had an Earl Follower, Duerte Red Apricot, eleven Viscount Followers, more than thirty Baron Followers, and hundreds of Lord Knight Followers. A simple team of Marquis Followers was quickly built, which would also be the foundation for the future country.
In addition to the team of followers of Marquis Oxtail, the basic framework for the country was basically completed.
In a good mood, Liszt gathered most of his followers at his Thorn Castle and ate and drank for several days. In this extravagant atmosphere of nobility, A Qi gradually completed the Ice Elemental Incarnation. Because of her care, Nami, who was happy every day, finally began to wither.
Wither meant that she was evolving.
