From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

Golden Duchy, Northeast Region, Qingyu City.

This is the area ruled by Marquis Qingyu, one of the five great marquises.

Qingyu City is located in a vast plain area, surrounded by lush forests and fertile farmland.

The city is world-famous for its strong walls, bustling markets, and the wood-based magic potion Green Feather Grass.

However, Qingyu City today was caught in a tense atmosphere.

I saw an elite cavalry team appearing within the warning range of Qingyu City.

The soldiers on guard at the city wall immediately noticed this army of unknown origin and sounded the alarm without hesitation.

The bells echoed over the city, waking up people who were still working.

In an instant, the soldiers who were still patrolling under the city wall put down their work and quickly picked up the bows and arrows in their hands. The arrows pointed at the cavalry team outside the city.

These soldiers are well-trained and have firm eyes, revealing a fearless courage. At first glance, they look like elite soldiers who have experienced battles for a long time.

When he saw that the Qingyu City soldiers in front had already taken out their bows and arrows, the arrows flashing with cold light and aiming at them ready to go, the leading knight was shocked and quickly ordered the attendants beside him to quickly shoot their own arrows. Flag to avoid accidental damage by friendly forces who do not know the truth.

The attendant did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took out a beautifully made flag from the bag carried by the horse.

This flag is brightly colored, with a tall yellow horse drawn on it, lifelike, as if it could gallop out at any time.

The background color of the flag is cleverly divided into two contrasting colors: red and black. The left half is bright red and the right half is deep black.

When the leading knight saw that the flag had been raised high, he immediately took a deep breath, summoned up all his fighting spirit, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am Sir Wotawa of the Alfalfa family! Hurry up and open the city. Door! I have urgent military information that needs to be reported immediately!"

His voice echoed in the air like thunder, with a burning urgency.

When the soldiers on the city wall heard this cry, they all turned their attention to their commander.

They saw the familiar flag and felt the urgency of the situation.

For a time, a tense atmosphere filled the city wall, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the commander's instructions.

After the leader saw the familiar flag and the equally familiar Wotava, most of the doubts in his heart had dissipated, but out of caution, he still reminded him:

"Wotava, according to the law set by the Marquis, you can only bring a maximum of five people into the city this time, and the remaining people must be stationed outside the city. There is no doubt about this!"

Wotawa knew the commander's character well, and if he didn't act according to the rules, he would definitely cause unnecessary trouble. So he nodded quickly and said:

"No problem, I will naturally abide by the laws of the Marquis!"

After that, he quickly selected five strong and experienced warriors from the soldiers he brought, and the rest stayed to camp outside the city, waiting for him to complete the mission.

After everything was arranged, Wotawa breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the gate of Qingyu City was finally opened.

Not daring to delay at all, he quickly got on his horse and galloped towards the city.

The journey was dusty and he felt increasingly anxious.

Finally, after a long journey, he arrived at the castle in the center of the city.

The atmosphere in the castle was tense and the guards were on standby.

Wotawa ignored the rest and walked straight to the conference room inside the castle.

He opened the door and was greeted by the butler who Marquis Qing Yucao had left in the castle to manage affairs.

Wotawa didn't care whether it was the butler or someone else, and quickly handed the battle report to the butler's hand.

"What? Black Feather Island was plundered by pirates from the Three Daughters Islands? Baron Sosko died in the battle?"

The housekeeper was so shocked when he saw the battle report that he even raised his voice an octave unconsciously.

For many years, pirates in the Three Daughters Islands have been a major concern for them.

Some time ago, several baron families along the coast united to annihilate it. How could it suddenly resurrect now?

And it caused such heavy losses, even Baron Southco was unfortunately killed, which is really unbelievable!

The butler looked at the battle report with a solemn expression. This matter was beyond the scope of his authority. The Marquis did not give him the right to handle military affairs before leaving.

"Okay, I understand this matter. Come with me to find Master Conrad. Only he can handle this matter."

So the two of them rushed to the training ground and found Conrad Qingyucao.

Conrad was also shocked after seeing this battle report, but fortunately, although he was young, he was experienced and quickly asked the butler to arrange a raven to fly to St. Gold Castle.

And he hurriedly found paper and pen and wrote a letter.

After the butler brought the raven, Conard quickly put away the written letter and the battle report, and took them to the high tower of the castle to release them.

After all the matters were taken care of, Conrad breathed a sigh of relief and said to the butler beside him:

"The baron of Black Feather Island was killed, and most of the civilians were plundered by pirates. This news must be enough to make the Archduke furious. Let's think about how to bear the Archduke's anger."

————

"Sir Clobber, I have a task for you..."

After speaking, Archduke Veronica picked up two letters from the table and threw them to Krober.

Krober caught it with both hands, picked up a letter and read it.

As the contents of the letter were read, Krober frowned.

"Black Feather Island was suddenly attacked by pirates? The baron died in battle, his family was destroyed, and even the people were taken away?"

He knew that Black Feather Island was an island in the northeastern coastal area of ​​the Golden Duchy. The territory originated from one of the small islands discovered during the voyage exploration movement twenty years ago.

It is said that Black Feather Island, which was still a desert island at that time, was led by a descendant of the Green Feather Grass family.

According to the law of the time, the Grand Duke could grant anyone who discovered a new island during exploration the right to become a noble and to be loyal to her.

So the Grand Duke accepted the allegiance of this collateral descendant, allowed him to create his own surname, and had the right to name the island.

The descendant of the Green Feather Grass family named a black edible plant on the island at that time Black Feather Grass as his surname, and also named the island after it, called Black Feather Island.

Legally speaking, Black Feather Island is the territory directly belonging to the Grand Duke and belongs to the royal territory. Now these pirates dare to go to Black Feather Island to massacre nobles and civilians. This is undoubtedly provoking Grand Duke Veronica and the Golden Duchy. dignity.

"Sir Clobber, the task I give you is to find those pirates and kill them all, leaving no one alive.

The entire Three Girls Islands must be burned with fire! Don't let it fall at all! I want that dirty land to never give birth to life again! "

Grand Duke Veronica said such terrifying words in a calm tone, which made Krober feel a little strange.

But he didn't think much about it. He believed that rulers should have such a side and fight back when provoked. Otherwise, where would the dignity of the country be?

"Unless you can't beat it."

Krober added silently in his heart.

"Yes, sir, how many knights can I take with me in this operation?"

Krober still doesn't understand the strength of the pirates, but what is certain is that there must be people above the formal knight level within the pirates, and there should be a lot of them, at least three to five.

After all, the Black Feather Grass family is also a baron family. Although the strongest one is not a great knight, there are still three or four formal knights. If they want to win, the pirates must either have a great knight or have a certain number of formal knights. Advantages.

So Krober hopes that Archduke Veronica can give him the power of a knight squad to help him.

Coupled with himself, two great knights and nine official knights, this power is enough to destroy this group of pirates.

But what Archduke Veronica said next made him dumbfounded.

"No, for this mission, I will not give you the command of the Dragon's Breath Knights."

? ?

Krober was really confused.

"but……"

"If you can use your own strength to destroy this group of pirates for me this time, I will give you the land of Black Feather Island, allow you to have your own surname and the right to name the island, and give you the title of baron."

As soon as these words came out, Krober's breathing suddenly became heavy.
