From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

After receiving the full support of his family, Krober was full of confidence in this mission.

What surprised him even more was that Marquis Daniel had just revealed to him privately that once Krober embarked on the journey, he would send a caravan towards Qingyu City.

If the operation to encircle and suppress the pirates encounters an unexpected event, Krober and his army should prioritize ensuring their own safety and seek reinforcements from the caravan dispatched by Golden Rose to Qingyu City.

Krober nodded in agreement.

He knows that if things become beyond his control, protecting his own life and that of his subordinates is undoubtedly the first priority.

After all, these are elite warriors carefully trained by their families and tempered by many wars. They cannot suffer too much loss in low-level tasks such as annihilating pirates.

After all, pirates only have a few iron weapons at most.

However, according to Krober's speculation, after looting Black Feather Island, this group of pirates has most likely obtained a large number of sufficient weapons and equipment.

After all, the geographical location of Black Feather Island is quite special, and it should have far more weapons and equipment than an ordinary barony.

Moreover, after arriving at Qingyu City, Krober will not take people to the Third Girl Islands on a whim. Instead, he must conduct a detailed and thorough investigation of the specific situation of this group of pirates locally before going there.

First of all, this group of bandits was able to successfully loot Black Feather Island and kill the local baron and members of the guard. This was obviously completely beyond Krober's inherent concept of bandits.

Bandits have always been synonymous with weakness. They are generally a group of refugees or deserters from all over the country who cannot afford to eat. Their combat effectiveness is generally not very strong, because the stronger ones have allegied to the nobles, and only some are unwilling to be Only those who are bound by rules will still engage in banditry after gaining great strength.

But it will definitely not be too strong. A formal knight will be the best. After all, the great knights have a territory, and they can be emperors in the territory. Who would want to be a bandit? Not to mention being hungry and full, there are still risks. Big, maybe a powerful knight passing by would blow him up, and he wouldn't even be able to keep his ashes.

The information sent by Qingyu City was too one-sided.

Just mentioning that the reason why these pirates have survived is that they resisted tenaciously with the help of the steep and harsh terrain of the Three Girls Islands.

It wasn't until some time ago that several nobles in the coastal areas joined forces to send troops together, and finally succeeded in taking away the pirates' lair.

According to the content of the battle report, most of the pirates had indeed been eliminated at that time, but only a small number of minions who could not make a big splash or make any big waves escaped.

Therefore, there must be a reason behind the pirates who were originally dispersed suddenly gathered together and attacked Black Feather Island. As for the reason, it can only be investigated after Krober gets there.

After having a pleasant dinner with Marquis Daniel, Krober returned to his room to rest contentedly.

————

The next morning, Krober rarely defeated the bed demon and got up early.

While putting on his armor, he stood by the window and looked down from a high position. Krober had already seen several teams with distinctive banners leaving Hilde Fortress.

Most of these teams are lords from the eastern region of the principality. Their territories are relatively far away from Hilde Fortress. The sooner they set off, the sooner they can return home.

But those whose fiefdoms were closer were not in a hurry at all, and some were even slowly cooking an attractive breakfast, as if they considered Hilde Fortress their home.

This group of people is mainly composed of members of the Golden Rose family and vassals. Of course, in a strict sense, Hilde Fortress can indeed be called their home. After all, the owner of this place is Marquis Daniel.

The reason why Krober got up so early was because he had to stand the last guard before Archduke Veronica left.

After putting on his armor, Krober continued to wait at the door of the Grand Duke's room.

Although Archduke Veronica allowed Krober to temporarily suspend his duties as a herald during the mission, Krober still wanted to perform his duties once again before the Grand Duke left Hilde Fortress.

Arriving at the familiar door again, Krober was still standing at the door as usual, motionless like a statue.

Archduke Veronica in the room naturally felt something strange at the door.

She raised her head buried on the pillow and looked towards the door.

After feeling the familiar breath, Veronica buried her head in the pillow again, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

This stop lasted until nine o'clock in the morning.

It wasn't until Odyssey, the leader of the Dragon's Breath Knights, came that Clobber ended his mission, saluted Odyssey, and then turned and left.

Watching Krober's leaving figure gradually move away, Odyssey turned around, stood in front of Archduke Veronica's room, and asked in a low voice:

"Sir, the knights are ready and are just waiting for your order to set off."

Grand Duke Veronica in the room did not reply. After a while, a muffled voice came from the room.

"The Dragon's Breath Knights will be led by your deputy for the time being. I have a special task for you..."

Krober, who left the castle, went straight to the training ground. According to Marquis Daniel's arrangement last night, twenty soldiers led by two formal knights had already assembled at the training ground.

Knight Foster was also among them, along with Sam and Will.

Unfortunately, Foster did not succeed in breaking through to the Great Knight realm during this period.

But as a follower of Kroeber, Marquis Daniel loved him and sent someone to give Foster a bottle of wind-attributed potion to help him break through before he set off.

With the help of this potion, Foster was confident that he could break through to the Great Knight realm within three to four days, which would be more effective when encircling and suppressing pirates.

At this moment, Kroeber finally came to the training ground.

At first glance, he noticed the elite troops of the Golden Rose Family.

This troop was dressed in bright silver iron armor, which flashed a cold light under the sunlight.

Each piece of armor was obviously carefully crafted, with delicate patterns carved on it, showing the majesty and glory of this team.

They also wore a white robe embroidered with a golden rose emblem.

When the wind blew, the golden rose pattern on the robe seemed to come alive, lifelike.

These soldiers looked tall and straight.

And Krober could see perseverance and courage in their eyes.

It was obvious that this was an elite force, and everyone in the team was a well-equipped warrior who had been through many battles.

At the front of the team stood two knights wearing plate armor, and their identities could be judged from the badges they wore.

Herman Petunia and Hyer Jacaranda.

Herman looked like a pure warrior, tall, and his weapon was a two-handed heavy sword, which showed that he was a knight with great power.

He was born in the Petunia family, and the family emblem was a dark purple morning glory with two green leaves dotted below.

The Petunia family was located in the southeast of the entire marquisate, close to the territory of the Marquis of Frostwolf. There were three official knights in the family. The patriarch Hector Petunia was a baron noble who was loyal to Krober's grandfather, Marquis Daniel.

Herman's fighting spirit attribute was earth, and he majored in defensive fighting skills, with the strength of a formal knight.

Hyer. Jacaranda looks relatively short, and the plate armor he wears is also of the lightest type. Kroeber speculates that his fighting style should be more agile.

His weapon is the same as Kroeber's, a one-handed knight sword.

The Jacaranda family is the same as the Petunia family, both of which are baron families under the Golden Rose.

However, the Jacaranda family is stronger than the Petunia family. There are five formal knights in the family, and the fiefdom is located in the northern part of the Marquisate.

The family emblem of the Jacaranda family is a branch reflected in an angle, dotted with a bunch of large and small jacaranda flowers.

Hyer. Jacaranda's fighting spirit attribute is water, and he is also a formal knight. He is good at offensive fighting skills, and also has a precious healing fighting skill. It can be said that he can fight and heal.

The people waiting in the training ground recognized Kroeber as soon as they saw him.

There is no way, who makes Krober so recognizable.

The recognizable bright golden hair, handsome face, elegant temperament and the standard plate armor of the Dragon Breath Knight of the Golden Rose Family, when these characteristics appear on the same person, it is enough to prove his identity.

After seeing Krober's arrival, Hermann and Hyer hurried over to salute Krober.

"Hermann. Petunia..."

"Hyer. Jacaranda..."

"Meet Sir Krober."

As official knights, the two had no problem saluting the great knight Krober, and Krober was the commander of this mission, and their family was a vassal of Krober's family.

So the two of them ran up to salute Krober without any hesitation.

And the soldiers behind them also greeted Krober in unison.

"The third squad of the Golden Rose Family salutes Master Krober!" N

Krober first accepted their respect, and then quickly helped Hermann and Hyer, who were half-kneeling on the ground.

"I accept your respect."

"From today on, I am your commander. Your duty is to obey my orders, and my duty is to lead you to victory and enjoy glory."

I made a simple pre-war mobilization. After all, the next time will be spent on the journey, so if there is anything to say, it is better to say it now.

"Let me be frank. I will not allow anyone to betray or disobey orders. If any of you dare to disobey my orders or betray me directly, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"But if you perform well, I will also give you a chance to change your fate. It may be a large amount of money, or it may be a set of sophisticated weapons and equipment. If someone really makes great contributions, I can promise him a knight's title and fiefdom."

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to draw a big cake, so it's better to mobilize the passion of the soldiers in front of him first. If someone really makes great contributions, he will naturally not be stingy with a knight's title.

After listening to it, the soldiers present also showed their expressions of interest. After all, the temptation of the title is not comparable to ordinary things.

Seeing that the soldiers have been mobilized by the big cake he drew, Krober nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, set off! Destination, Qingyu City!"

At Krober's order, more than 20 people got on their horses.

He also rode on Zhuifeng, and the group quickly left the Hild Fortress, leaving behind only a series of receding figures.
