From June to August, for two full months, the impact of the Dragon Slaying War not only did not subside, but intensified, sweeping the three kingdoms in the northeast corner of the Legendary Continent, and even the surrounding Huangshiyuan Kingdom and Fallen Leaf Kingdom. situation.
Within the entire Eagle Kingdom, the cohesion of the nobility has collapsed. Facing the knights who are not strong in the Flame Kingdom, they are defeated and collapsed.
A large number of nobles chose to surrender, while those who resisted were robbed of their wealth.
During this period of time, the four vassal states of the Eagle Kingdom, the Pink Gem Duchy, the Copper Duchy, the Chrysoberyl Duchy, and the Deep Ruby Grand Duchy, all abandoned the Eagle Kingdom and discussed with the Flame Kingdom about changing their families. Among them, the Principality of Crimson Ruby has the lowest posture.
Without him, the Grand Duke was captured, the dragon was also captured, and the Principality no longer had a basis for existence.
"There are too many things to deal with in the past two months, especially the negotiations with the many nobles of the Eagle Kingdom, which have consumed a lot of my energy. Even though I am a domain knight, I still feel physically exhausted." A castle In the study, William Lee, Duke of Tulip Island, rubbed his forehead.
"Father, you are the Prime Minister of the Foreign Cabinet. You can properly delegate part of the negotiation work to other ministers and coordinate the joining of several duchies."
Liszt stood in front of the castle's floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the scenery under the setting sun in the distance.
The wheat is ripe and golden, the serfs are harvesting in groups, the wives deliver meals, and the children are running, everything is so harmonious and beautiful.
"There are too few ministers, Liszt, the flame kingdom's foreign cabinet needs to be expanded, otherwise we will not be able to cope with more and more noble changes. After all, the real population size of the flame kingdom is only equivalent to a grand duchy, and now we are annexing the male Eagle Kingdom, Old Kingdom."
"Father, please look at the arrangement. Divide the foreign cabinet into executive ministers and ordinary ministers. The number of executive ministers is kept at eleven, and the number of general ministers is kept at about fifty. A list of candidate ministers will be added, and the number will remain at about 500. … can be properly absorbed from the nobles of the Eagle Kingdom."
After Liszt finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and added: "Edward Crimson Ruby is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he can be included in the list of permanent ministers."
"Crimson Ruby Family, what specific arrangements do you have?" Li William asked.
"I promised Edward a duke position, and the Crimson Ruby family will start again in the Flame Kingdom. All fief nobles and direct nobles will transfer to me and help me ensure the stability of the Grand Duchy." Liszt sighed, "I Start a war, but don't want the war to destroy this fertile soil."
"When you unify the Three Kingdoms Alliance, I believe that in the northeast corner of the Legendary Continent, there will be no more wars."
"It's not enough, father, and the Guishuang Empire is on the side of the couch. This legendary continent is too vast."
"But you have plenty of time to take over, don't you?"
Liszt smiled: "Maybe."
Dangdang.
knocking.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Emily asks to see you."
"Please come in."
Emily walked into the study with a dashing and heroic posture, and said directly after receiving the ceremony: "Your Majesty, the Eagle Royal Family has handed over a formal note, and King Adonis and Prince Alexander will go to the Fort of Colorful Glutinous Rice to pay a visit to you on September 6th. "
The castle of colorful glutinous rice is the castle at your feet.
It was the castle of Thomas Wucai Nuomi, a marquis of the Eagle Kingdom. This marquis had already surrendered, and the castle was turned into a temporary residence by Li Sicheng. When he issued the punishment order this time, it was no longer a small matter, and he would leave after searching once, but to occupy it permanently.
"Well, then arrange this meeting, hold a reception by the way, and invite all the nobles who have surrendered to attend." Liszt said lightly.
The Eagle Kingdom has been crippled. I wanted to wipe out the Eagle Royal Family in one go, but I didn't expect the Royal Family to be decisive and directly sent envoys to request surrender. He is willing to surrender to the Flame Kingdom and downgrade to the Grand Duchy, but Liszt has not yet agreed because the other party still has three dragons.
A grand duchy possessing three dragons was obviously beyond his bottom line. If the Eagle Kingdom really wanted to surrender, it would only be allowed to keep one dragon.
And obey Liszt's dispatch at any time.
He poured Emily a glass of fruit juice to comfort the dragon knight who was running around all day, and then said to Li William: "Father, I will attend the banquet, but I will not participate in the formal negotiation. .Father, you can properly attack Prince Alex."
"You mean, after the Eagle Kingdom is downgraded, only Alex, the dragon knight, will be kept?"
"Yes, it's not easy to train a dragon knight. As long as Alex knows the current affairs, I think it's more meaningful to keep him as a dragon knight than to snatch the white iron dragon." There are too few dragon knights in the kingdom. If you want to train yourself, it will take at least a few decades to get a few dragon knights.
He didn't intend to wait decades before conquering the Legendary Continent.
It is better to unify the world sooner rather than later, he still has to go to the Exiled Land with Ake to find the fairy dragon, and then he is busy making villains.
…
September of the 2nd year of the flame calendar.
The Grand Duchy of Crimson Ruby announced that it would be merged into the Kingdom of Flames. The original Grand Duke Edward Crimson Ruby paid the Crimson Ruby Dragon to Liszt, renamed it Edward Dandelion, and was divided into Duke Dandelion by Liszt.
In October of the 2nd year of the flame calendar.
The Principality of Pink Ruby, announced to be merged into the Kingdom of Flame, still follows Liszt as a principality; the Grand Duchy of Copper, announced to be merged into the Kingdom of Flame, and follows Liszt as a principality; the Principality of Chrysoberyl, announced to be merged into the Kingdom of Flame, still follows Liszt in the form of a principality Lister.
The flame calendar is February and November.
Following two and a half months of negotiations, the Eagle Royal Family officially surrendered to the Flame Royal Family. Adonis Moonlight Silver gave up the throne and was re-appointed Duke of Eagle by Liszt. On the basis of the original King City of the Eagle King, the territory of the Eagle Principality was divided, and the Brass Dragon was used as the cornerstone of the Principality.
At the same time, the former Prince Alex White Iron was named the Grand Duke of White Iron by Liszt, and the White Iron Dragon was retained. On the basis of his original fiefdom, the Grand Duchy of White Iron was divided.
In addition, another white iron dragon from the Eagle Kingdom paid tribute to Liszt as a tribute.
so far.
The Eagle Kingdom, which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, has completely become a thing of the past, and all territories have been annexed by the Flame Kingdom. The northeast corner of the Legendary Continent resumed the previous situation of three kingdoms, but the Eagle Kingdom was replaced by the Flame Kingdom, and the Iron Ridge Kingdom and the Blast Furnace Kingdom formed an alliance to fight.
Facing the strong rise of the Flame Kingdom, the Iron Ridge Kingdom and the Blast Furnace Kingdom condemned one after another, but they dared not interfere with this process.
I can only watch the flame kingdom digest the chaos brought about by the annexation bit by bit, and complete the enfeoffment and appeasement of the nobles.
It was not until the New Year's Eve was approaching that Liszt received any news from these two kingdoms. It was the information obtained by Mary's blood servants.
"Your Majesty, Duke Buffett, the Dragon Knight of the Guishuang Empire, has arrived in the Kingdom of Blast Furnace Castle."
"The Guishuang Empire... Duke Buffett..." In a palace near the Doomsday Crater, Liszt looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, "Have you found out what ancient artifact Buffett brought?"
"Okay."
"Continue to investigate."
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
