The dragon-slaying battle on Dodo Island did not happen in public, so the nobles of Sapphire Isles did not know about this great war.
However, the knights of the Fire Territory did not hide the fact that they had publicly destroyed the Hot Spring Island. After the merchants on the island and the Rats in the dark spread the news, it spread to the ears of all the nobles in the Sapphire Archipelago within a week.
"What's going on?"
"Why did the Marquis of the Flame destroy Hot Spring Island?"
"Even the Dragon Knight can't be so reckless. Is the Grand Duke not doing anything?"
"The Count of Hot Spring Island is an upright and sincere man. The Marquis of the Flame is indeed powerful, but he can't bully the weak like this!"
"This is trampling on the dignity of a Knight!"
Many nobles and lords did not dare to comment on this matter in public, but after socializing, they would inevitably use the excuse of being drunk to criticize and criticize the Flame Territory for bullying the weak. There were even nobles and lords who spoke directly to the Sapphire Grand Duke, hoping that the Grand Duke would step in and stop this matter.
However, just as the news of the Flame Territory destroying Hot Spring Island spread, merchants and Rats quickly brought new explosive news — the Oxtail Marquis' Orders of Chivalry to destroy Cube Island within a day. The attack was carried out openly, without any concealment, and without the permission of the Marquis of Deep Throat Island.
The Viscount of Cube Island was the follower of the Marquis of Deep Throat Island, Wallace Pineapple Green. Destroying him naturally required Wallace's permission, or else it would be considered a provocation.
On the other side, the Dragon Knight Liszt publicly destroyed the follower of another Dragon Knight.
On the other side, the Marquis of Oxtail publicly destroyed the follower of another Marquis.
This caused the public opinion of Sapphire Isles to boil.
"What are the Marquis of Oxtail and the Marquis of the Flame trying to do?"
"I've dealt with Leewilliam before. He's a loyal and upright Knight. Why would he do such a thing?"
"If Marquis Wallace offended the Marquis of Oxtail and attacked the Viscount of Cube Island as a punishment, it would make sense. But the Marquis of the Flame destroying the Count of Hot Spring Island, what does this mean? "
"Could it be that the Tulip family wants to turn against the Grand Duke?"
"The Grand Duke can't sit idly by, or else the Tulip family will rely on the Dragon Knight and the High Mage to overthrow Sapphire's rule!"
"We must advise the Grand Duke!"
However, before these discussions had even begun, Ma Huiying's Orders of Chivalry's Knight had already passed on the Sapphire Grand Duke's edict to all the major island lords.
A jaw-dropping piece of news exploded.
"The Master of the Azure Waves Sea, the Lord of the Sapphire Islands, the great Sapphire Grand Duke, hereby announces to all his followers and Knight that the Count of Hot Spring Island and the Viscount of Cube Island have colluded with the Eagle Kingdom and provided assistance to the invasion of the Eagle Kingdom's five dragons and three Knight. They have assassinated the Marquis of the Flame and started the Dragon-Slaying War!"
"The Marquis of the Flame put up a strong resistance … He ended up killing the Purple Copper Dragon Knight Leuer Purple Copper and repelled the Eagle Kingdom's evil plan. He also quickly destroyed the two traitors, the Count of Hot Spring Island and the Viscount of Cube Island … The Marquis of the Flame and the Marquis of Oxtail pursue loyalty, justice, courage, and fearlessness. This is an excellent display of the noble qualities of a Knight!"
At the same time.
The detailed news released by the merchants of the Flame Territory, the Oxtail Territory, and the Rat quickly spread. Every Dragon-Slaying War was the best headline news of the year. There was no need to expend any effort to publicize it. It would naturally cause an explosion.
"The White Iron Dragon Knight Alex White Iron, the Bronze Dragon Knight Alonso Cyclamen, the Purple Copper Dragon Knight Leuer Purple Copper, the Gray Iron Dragon, the Silver Dragon, and the Five Dragons and three Knight joined forces to besiege the Marquis of the Flame. However, the great Fire Dragon Knight, the Formless Dragon Knight, and the Light Green Gemstone Dragon Knight Liszt of the Flame killed Leuer and defeated the five dragons!"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! "
"The Dragon-Slaying War on Dodo Island involved eight dragons. His Highness Liszt occupied three dragons and defeated the five dragons and the Knight. His strength is boundless!"
"The Formless Dragon is a Holy Dragon, the legendary Holy Dragon!"
"He's too powerful. The Knight is blessed by glory. His Highness the Marquis of the Flame is not a Son of Glory. He is glory itself!"
"How terrifying!"
"The Count of Hot Spring Island and the Viscount of Square Island colluded with the Eagle Kingdom. The traitors must die. The Marquis of the Flame destroyed them in a righteous war!"
"Marquis Wallace personally thanked Marquis Oxtail, thanking him for destroying the Viscount of Square Island, the traitor."
"Who can tell me if this is true? Why is His Highness Liszt recognized by the three dragons? Is he the embodiment of the Knight's glory?"
In an instant.
The nobles and feudal lords who originally had opinions about Liszt destroying the Count of Hot Spring Island changed their opinions one after another. They wanted to praise Liszt twenty-four hours a day.
They were afraid that their previous complaints would reach Liszt's ears.
If Liszt was just a Dragon Knight, he would have a Magic Shooter as his helper.
They could still rely on the Sapphire Grand Duke to back up some of their verbal accusations. These accusations were to protect the interests of the aristocratic class, and they also hoped that the Grand Duke would treat them favorably.
But the news that had arrived was too terrifying. Liszt had actually ridden on three dragons alone, killed a Dragon Knight, and defeated three Dragon Knight and five dragons of the Eagle Kingdom by himself. Coupled with the gorgeous fighting style of the Magic Shooter, such a tyrannical, cool, and heaven-defying configuration.
It could be said that even if the Sapphire Family was destroyed, no one would dare say a word.
Although the world ruled by the Knight system had a relatively strict order and rules, when one's strength reached a certain level, so what if one broke the rules?
"The master of the sea has changed …" Marquis Wallace Pineapple stood at the bow of the ship, his heart feeling weak and haggard.
As early as when the Tulip family had swept through Cube Island, he had personally led Orders of Chivalry to deal with them and questioned the leader, Levis, "What is the meaning of the Tulip family? What is your father's meaning? Killing my followers for no reason!"
Levis, who rarely participated in wars, mainly came to get military achievements.
But he had become a Sky Knight after all, and he had cultivated a calm demeanor. He calmly replied, "Marquis Wallace, my orders are from His Highness Liszt, the Dragon Knight. There might be some news that you don't know, but His Highness Liszt has killed another Dragon Knight!"
He only spoke briefly about the Dragonslaying Battle.
Then, Wallace's expression fluctuated between green and white, turning into a faint sigh. He did not say anything more before turning around and leaving, no longer concerned about the survival of Cube Island.
That night, Wallace took a ship to Blue Dragon Island.
When he arrived at Blue Dragon Island, he saw Sapphire Grand Duke and Oxtail Marquis drinking tea in the Blue Sky Mountain Palace. Accompanying them were Duchess Sarit Grand Flower Huilan, Eldest Prince Anthony, Marquis Glendanton Maple Leaf of Maple City, and Marquis Nesta Grand Flower Huilan of Quicksand City.
It could be said that all the higher-ups of the Sapphire Family were drinking tea with Leewilliam.
Such a high standard was simply inconceivable.
When he saw this scene, Wallace already understood that the Sapphire Family no longer had the final say in the sea. After staying in the Blue Sky Mountain Palace for a night and receiving an edict personally written by the Grand Duke, Wallace left Blue Dragon Island with flagging interest and returned to his territory.
He felt that he was getting old, and it was time to retire and enjoy his old age, no longer participating in the struggle for power among the nobles.
The former Marquis of Red Crab Island, Merlin Longtaro, had been the companion of Sapphire Grand Duke since he was young. How could Wallace Pineapple not be loyal since he was young?
"The master of the sea has changed …"
Looking at the title at the beginning of the edict, Wallace once again sighed with emotion in his heart.
In the past, the Sapphire Grand Duke's official letters all began with the title "Master of the sea, Lord of all islands, the great Sapphire Grand Duke". But now, the edict was "Master of the Aquamarine Waves Sea, Lord of the Sapphire Archipelago, the great Sapphire Grand Duke".
From the sea to the Aquamarine Waves Sea, from all islands to the Sapphire Archipelago.
The meaning was self-evident.
