From Baron to Lord

As a border earl's city, it naturally possesses more magnificent city walls than the earl's cities within the Grand Duchy.

At this moment, the entire City of Hiran had become tense.

Ever since Earl Hiran returned from the fortress not long ago, he immediately ordered the city gates to be closed, and then began packing things in the castle, preparing to run away.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the commoners about his intention to flee, but he did tell his trusted subordinates and his women.

Korol Hiran had only been back for less than two hours, and he had already packed up most of his belongings, and was now collecting the last of the gold coins.

"Hurry, hurry! Damn it, you stupid woman, do you want to die!"

Korol's eyes widened as he looked at his most beloved woman's slow and leisurely appearance, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

The women were somewhat puzzled as to why the usually calm and composed Earl would be so panicked.

After cursing a few times, Korol immediately led everyone to prepare to leave the City of Hiran, intending to go to other Grand Duchies. After seeing Allen's Behemoth, Korol clearly knew that the entire Duchy of Shark was finished. He only hoped that the fortress could slightly delay the advance of those giant beasts.

Without the Grand Duke here, no one could stop those terrifying giant beasts.

Korol couldn't forget the sight of his companion, a Gold Knight just like him, being slapped to death by a Behemoth when he looked back from a distance while escaping.

He also couldn't forget the scene of the Giant Bear Fortress, which he thought was indestructible, being blasted apart by a single punch from a Behemoth.

It was too terrifying.

Korol understood that this would be his nightmare for the rest of his life, and also the end of the Duchy of Shark.

He couldn't care less about whether the Grand Duke could return or not.

The only problem he was thinking about now was how to survive.

"Hurry up! Quick!"

Korol had just gotten into the carriage with his family, and before he had time to leave the city, he saw a group of warriors in the distance running towards him quickly and in terror.

"Lord!"

"Lord, it's bad, outside, outside there are terrifying giant magical beasts!"

These warriors shouted in horror, and Korol's heart immediately sank.

The next moment, he heard a loud noise (cfbh) and at the same time, at the city gate in the far distance, seven Behemoths, each taller than the city wall, kicked open the entire city wall with one foot.

All defenses were a joke in front of the Behemoths.

"Ah!"

Instantly, the entire City of Hiran fell into panic.

This time, Allen didn't order the magical beasts to slaughter everyone; instead, he had them surround the entire city, and the Dragonblood Warriors were the ones who took action.

The magical beasts couldn't distinguish between warriors and civilians, they would only kill, but the Dragonblood Warriors could distinguish.

The City of Hiran wasn't the Giant Bear Fortress; most of the people living here were ordinary people, and Allen wouldn't attack them as long as they weren't warriors.

After all, what Allen wanted was a Grand Duchy with countless civilians, not a ruin with only a pile of corpses.

"Kill!"

The Dragonblood Warriors roared and charged towards the warriors in the city, while Allen directly traversed the streets, clad in golden knight armor and riding the Silvermoon Wolf, no one dared to stop him.

Just like that, Allen quickly arrived in front of Earl Korol of Hiran, who was still somewhat dazed.

At this moment, the Earl, clad in golden knight armor, was filled with despair.

"Earl Hiran?"

Allen looked down at the middle-aged man from atop the Silvermoon Wolf.

"Earl Allen of Skywolf!" Korol said through gritted teeth.

He now flung away the crying women: "A bunch of idiots, I told you to hurry up, but you wouldn't listen, now it's all over, just wait to die!"

Korol's words made the noblewomen even more distraught at this moment.

If they had known this was the situation, how could they have done things so slowly?

Korol had already given up the idea of escaping from this place.

He gripped his knight's sword in his right hand, trying to keep his body from trembling.

"I'll give you a chance to draw your sword."

Allen said calmly, the Golden Mask made him look incomparably cold and arrogant.

"Heh heh, underestimating a Gold Knight, who do you think you are!"

Earl Hiran's face became ferocious, he aimed for the moment when Allen's gaze was directed elsewhere.

At this time, Allen's hands weren't even touching the sword hilt; a knight without a knight's sword was the least threatening.

Earl Allen of Skywolf, I heard he's just a teenager!

"Today I'll let you know how powerful I am!"

Earl Hiran instantly drew his sword, the sword energy soared into the sky, and a hint of a smile already appeared on his face. The distance between the two was only four or five meters, a distance that could be covered in an instant, and he could kill Allen.

At this moment, he already felt the aura of victory.

"Buzz!"

A slight sword hum sounded.

Allen casually slid his hand without even turning his head, and instantly, terrifying sword energy erupted from Allen's fingers. Those two fingers were like the sharpest sword in the world.

"No… Impossible… Saint… Domain…"

Earl Hiran clutched his neck, the smile in his eyes completely frozen in his pupils.

Even in death, he couldn't understand why Allen was a Sword Saint!

Before dark, the City of Hiran was completely under Allen's control.

Chapter 236 Sword Tiger Fortress, Steel Dragon Knight Grand Duke Shark! (1 Seeking Subscription)

After capturing the City of Hiran, Allen didn't let his men continue to advance, but instead had the warriors rest here.

With the capture of the City of Hiran, the entire Duchy of Shark had opened its doors to him, and with his forces already divided into three routes, he estimated that he could completely conquer the entire Duchy of Shark within a week.

After all, there were no strong individuals in the Duchy of Shark at this moment, making it the best opportunity.

"Lord, the current situation is very good. From the City of Hiran to the Royal Capital of Shark, we need to pass through two earl's territories and one marquisate. According to our current speed, if we travel at full speed, it will only take five days to ~ take the Royal Capital."

Marco said with an excited face. To be honest, he had never even dreamed of such a crazy thing as annexing a Grand Duchy -. Whenever he had free time, he would feel like he was dreaming -.

When he was a child, he often heard his parents tell some legendary stories, some about dragon knights, some about adventurers, and some about heroes.

He felt at this moment that he was in one of those legendary stories, following a great and destined hero of a lord, cutting through thorns and brambles all the way to the throne.

"Five days?"

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly. Five days, was that enough time for Grand Duke Shark to return home?

It wasn't that Allen was worried or afraid.

After all, this guy had already reached the Saint Domain Knight and the Saint Domain Magister, two Saint Domain-level existences.

His combat power had already far exceeded that of a one-star Saint Domain.

As for how strong he really was, Allen himself didn't know, but he was looking forward to Grand Duke Shark being able to come back once, so that he could directly fight a real Dragon Knight one-on-one.

"Marco, go and rest."

Allen dismissed Marco and began to prepare to rest himself.

In the early morning, Allen left a portion of his men behind and led the rest away. Within a day, Allen directly swept through two earl's territories, during which he repeatedly dispersed his forces.

With Silver Knights as leaders, small units began to efficiently and quickly sweep through the earl's territories.

Soon, around noon on the third day, Allen had led a portion of his men into the Marquisate of Sword Tiger.

The Marquisate of Sword Tiger was the largest marquisate in the entire Duchy of Shark, with a full five earls under the old woman's command.

One could imagine how vast this territory was.

Allen estimated that it would take him two to three days to devour this place.

At the same time, after entering the marquisate, the first building he would have to face was not the main city, but a fortress like the Giant Bear Fortress.

Sword Tiger Fortress.

At this moment, the entire Sword Tiger Fortress was in a state of panic. News had already spread that Allen's army had broken through the Giant Bear Fortress.

The entire Duchy of Shark was now like the Duchy of Ryan back then, with a thick layer of despair shrouding everyone's hearts.

Allen's Behemoths were too powerful, unstoppable. The warriors inside the Sword Tiger Fortress had already prepared for a desperate fight.

And just at this moment, in the distant sky, a giant dragon was rapidly approaching from the horizon.

Allen's Behemoths hadn't had time to get close before they were forced back by a terrifying dragon breath from the giant dragon.

"Roar!"

The Behemoths immediately retreated a few steps, letting out an angry roar at the giant dragon in the distant sky.

The Behemoths, known as the kings of land warfare, had never been good-tempered. These guys were extremely bloodthirsty and warlike, and were originally the top existences among magical beasts.

The dragon's breath of the giant dragon made them feel a great threat, but it couldn't make these Behemoths submit.

Instead, it stimulated the ferocity in the Behemoths' bones.

One by one, the Behemoths stared at the giant dragon in the sky with bloodshot eyes.

Allen also slightly raised his head to look at the giant dragon that was rapidly approaching in the sky and the gloomy-faced Dragon Knight on its back.

Allen was familiar with this face, it was Grand Duke Shark.

Originally, Allen thought that this Grand Duke would take at least a week or so to return.

He didn't expect Grand Duke Shark to return so quickly.

"Roar!"

The Behemoths were constantly roaring at the sky, seemingly declaring war on the giant dragon, but these kings of land warfare could only be kings of land warfare.

Without the dragon wings of a giant dragon on their backs, they couldn't fly, and could only roar madly on the ground.

"Grand Duke Shark!"

Marco's expression changed drastically: "How is that possible! Damn it, wasn't he already on the northern battlefield?!"

Not only Marco, but even the Dragonblood Warriors behind Allen couldn't help but change their expressions.

After all, Grand Duke Shark was a Dragon Knight!

Dragon Knight, what kind of existence was that?

One of the strongest professions in the existing professions, a true powerhouse who could establish a country and become a regional lord!

Stronger than a regular Saint Domain!

This kind of power was beyond doubt, and was recognized by everyone.
