From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

After leaving the command room, Marquis Frostwolf shared the intelligence he had learned with the nobles of the Golden Grand Duchy who fought with him.

As expected, as soon as Marquis Frostwolf finished speaking, the people below showed incredible expressions.

"No way, that's a dragon knight! He's a duke! How could he use such a despicable method?"

"You don't understand! To become a dragon knight, it's not enough to have good talent, but also to be able to fight and calculate. However, Edwin is really despicable for using such means to deceive allies."

It is true that the status of a dragon knight is very high.

But if a dragon knight does something that angers the public, it can't stop someone from gossiping about him behind his back.

Edwin. Bronze Fury is a good example.

I believe that it won't be long before, under the propaganda of Marquis Andrew and the people of the Golden Grand Duchy, the news that Edwin used false information to deceive allies will soon spread.

By then, even a strong dragon knight will be attacked by public opinion.

Moreover, a considerable number of people are now dissatisfied with Edwin. If it were not for such a sudden declaration of war, the Emerald Kingdom would not have fallen into such a passive situation on the battlefield.

It can be said that Edwin's decision to fight two directly ruined half of the Emerald Kingdom's chance of winning.

"Okay! Don't forget that the purpose of our coming here is to help the Emerald Kingdom win this war!

Now, Marquis Andrew, the commander of the City of Dusk, has arranged the garrison and duties for us. I will assign them to you now."

Marquis Frost Wolf stopped the chaos of the nobles below.

He just wanted to let this group of nobles know what kind of person Edwin is.

At the same time, let them know that only the Golden Grand Duchy under the rule of Grand Duke Veronica is their best destination.

But that's enough. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that there will be a war-weariness in the team, which is not good.

Marquis Frost Wolf pointed to Marquis Shadow Snake who was standing in the front.

"Shadow Snake, you will take a hundred earth knights to assist the northern wall, where the losses are the greatest. You will help them as a reserve after you arrive."

Marquis Shadow Snake nodded.

"Okay! You! Follow me!"

The Marquis of Shadow Snake gathered a hundred earth knights, most of whom were members of the Shadow Snake family and nobles in the territory.

The rest of the people were led by me to stand by in Twilight City. At present, the troops of the other three city walls are fully equipped.

Our mission is to assist in defense, and it is our responsibility to ensure that Twilight City will not fall.

The reinforcements of the Golden Grand Duchy have been integrated into Twilight City, but Grand Duke Veronica had a fierce quarrel with Edwin.

"Damn Edwin! Why didn't I burn you to death when you broke through? Let you, the scourge, survive?"

After knowing the real battlefield situation, Veronica was so angry that she wanted to kill Edwin on the spot.

Edwin didn't take Veronica's anger to heart at all, but smiled.

"Even if I deceived you, so what? You're here now, are you going to be a deserter?

If you run away, the Emerald Kingdom where you were born will probably fall, and then you'll probably be even angrier than you are now."

Edwin Bronze Fury is an old man with a hunched body.

His skin is as rough as dry bark, and the years have carved deep wrinkles on his face.

When talking to Veronica, his eyes are sinister and cunning, revealing a greedy light.

He is wearing a mountain copper armor, which is obviously made after refining and purifying bronze.

He rides on the back of a bronze dragon, whose wings are broad and whose scales are dull, revealing a weak breath.

He looks at Veronica riding on Vivian and reveals a rather disgusting smile.

"Edwin, you can win the battle of the mind and become a bronze dragon rider. This bronze dragon must be blind to let you ride it! This is a shame for all dragons!"

"Veronica, I allow you to vent your anger, but after you vent it, think carefully about how to win."

"Hahahahaha!"

After saying that, Edwin rode the bronze dragon and left there directly, leaving Veronica alone sitting on Vivian's back, with a gloomy face and no one knowing what she was thinking about.

"Vivian..."

"Hmm?"

"Let's go to the City of Dusk!"

"Okay, why are we going there?"

"Withdraw!"

With Veronica's decision to withdraw, the Emerald Kingdom, which had some hope of winning, might lose hope again and return to the daily life of being beaten.

————

At this time, Krober, who was still preparing to explore the new island, didn't know that his reinforcements had to withdraw on the first day they arrived at the border.

He was still excited to lead the team to explore the two small islands in person.

Especially the deserted island, if there is no problem with the map, the location of this small island should be quite close.

At the speed of an ordinary sailing ship, it will take about eight or nine hours to arrive.

Since it is just an exploration team, Krober brought 20 soldiers and some sailors and crew members, a total of 50 people.

These 50 people are elites selected from the territory by Krober after careful selection.

All 20 soldiers have reached the level of apprentice knights, and can be called elite soldiers.

The other thirty sailors and crew members were all good at navigation. They could easily identify directions and observe reefs.

So after the staffing was completed, the group set sail with a month's worth of food.

The first target was naturally the nearest deserted island.

As the only person in the territory with a flying partner, Krober naturally had to take on the responsibility of aerial reconnaissance.

This had nothing to do with whether his status was noble or not, but to protect his own forces from losses due to untimely reconnaissance.

If his "property" was really lost because of such a thing.

This was unacceptable to Krober.

So during the voyage, Krober would always ride Griffin for aerial reconnaissance.

Even if he landed on the island, as long as it was not a dense forest terrain, he would simply reconnoitre in the air before letting the soldiers go to the island.

Since it was the first voyage, the group did not dare to go too fast, for fear that something might go wrong in the general direction.

So they had to stop and recalibrate the direction every time they went, and only set off again after confirming that it was correct.

In this way, the group set out at seven in the morning and arrived at the first destination of this trip, the deserted island, around five in the afternoon.

The name of the deserted island is worthy of its name, and it is indeed very desolate.

The area of ​​the deserted island is very small, and it is good to have an area of ​​about three to four square kilometers.

There is little vegetation on the island, and even the land is mostly sand or ordinary soil.

Krober rode Griffin to scout in the air and did not find any hidden dangers.

Except for some plants, there is not even life on this island!

He signaled the soldiers and sailors on the ship to disembark and let them explore the island in all directions according to the team.

And he was standing on the beach thinking about the utilization value of this deserted island.

Looking at the blue sea water washing the beach again and again, Krober suddenly remembered one of the reasons why he chose to become the Baron of Black Feather Island.

Salt production!

Although this deserted island has no resource output, it has a flat terrain, sufficient sunlight, and is surrounded by sea water. It is a good place to make salt!

While thinking about the method of making salt, Kroeber began to plan the location of the salt fields in his mind.

Not long after, the soldiers and sailors sent by Kroeber to explore the island came back one after another. They said that there was nothing on the island and it was very desolate.

Kroeber used his fighting spirit to sense them and found that there was indeed no change in their bodies, so there should be no situation of discovering the secret contract of the elves.

And based on the vegetation of this island, even if all gathered together, it might not be possible to give birth to an elf, let alone so scattered.

Although nothing good was found, the value of the deserted island itself had been discovered by Kroeber, that is, as a salt-producing land for the future territory.

Therefore, he named the island Salt Island.
