Start with Island Lord

It was a late summer afternoon.

The temperature in the Dawn Harbor District was still hot, but thin dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a drizzling sun shower began to fall.

But the rain that used to drive people home, today, has added to the lively atmosphere of the harbor district.

Because the judge of the vampire count, the nemesis of the greedy nobles, the protector of the citizens of Weilan, the youngest magic sage in history, and the new Duke of Dawn, Rosen Saxon, is about to take his extremely powerful Black Stone warship to his extremely loyal Dawn City.

The harbor dock was crowded with people.

The seaside avenue around the Storm Bay was even more crowded.

Looking down from above, you can only see a group of heads with hair of various colors, but almost no body.

One common feature is that these people are basically civilians, and even if they are nobles, they are all small nobles.

The entire sea surface of Storm Bay has been cleared, and all sailing cargo ships have been forced to anchor at the dock, leaving the widest sea surface for the arrival of the new duke.

The Blue Whale Mansion, which is still open as usual after the change of owner, has a top-floor room that can directly overlook Storm Bay, so it has also been rented out by envoys from various countries.

For hundreds of years, Weilan has been a semi-puppet duchy of Aaron. In the Natural Alliance, it is Aaron's yes-man, so apart from the Weilan people, not many people in the Natural Alliance pay attention to the appointment and death of Duke Weilan.

But this time is completely different!

This is the third duke who is not a member of the Adrian family since Weilan was founded.

But the first two dukes were born in the ancient noble family of Aaron. They were able to take the throne because they were supported by Aaron, and they were essentially Aaron's hounds.

But this time is completely different!

This young duke took the throne by force under the heavy pressure of Aaron.

He stepped on the corpses of at least 46 ancient noble families in the south, swept away the puppets that Aaron had planted in Weilan, and made Weilan the only truly independent grand duchy in the Natural Alliance.

Born on the most insignificant island, he did a great feat that shocked the entire Natural Alliance, and thus had a huge influence that shocked the entire Natural Alliance.

The aftermath even spread to the Glorious Empire outside the alliance.

The guest in one of the guest rooms of the Blue Whale Mansion was Ms. Irene, a member of the Glorious royal family who received the order from the Queen and rushed from Aaron to watch the ceremony.

Of course, she did not come alone, and brought a whole group of assistants composed of senior mages.

Now, this whole group of assistants placed high-performance stargazing telescopes next to the huge glass windows.

At the same time, they also released a small rotating blade flying magic weapon, using the Eye of Insight spell on the magic weapon to observe the Storm Bay from all angles without blind spots.

As the commander-in-chief of the operation, Irene was sitting on a round leather chair in the living room, listening to the first assistant mage report.

"Madam, the scheduled arrival time is 2pm, and there is less than half an hour left."

Erin crossed her legs and sat upright.

She held a glass of ice crystal fruit drink in her left hand, and her right hand was casually placed on the armrest of the chair. Her finger, which was wearing a large crystal ring, gently tapped the armrest pad, and as she moved, circles of bright light ripples rippled from her fingertips.

"The southeast wind is blowing now, and the wind is not small. The waves in the bay are not small, and the Golden Ocean must be even more turbulent. It will be difficult to arrive on time."

The young male assistant lowered his eyes and fixed his sight on the carpet, so as not to be affected by the elegant and beautiful lady in front of him.

"Madam, this is a good opportunity to observe the performance of the Weilan Black Stone warship."

Erin nodded: "Indeed, but do you think there will be flying magic weapons?"

The assistant shook his head: "The announcement did not say that there will be flying magic weapons. I think the new duke will not easily display such powerful weapons."

"This is a pity. Who are the people next door to me?"

"Levend, Kao, Aaron, and the five major duchies of the Natural Alliance have sent envoys to observe the ceremony, including Bosilia, Godwin, Jiamo, Fontaine and Bolilan."

Erin smiled when she heard it: "The small Natural Alliance has countless kings and dukes, just like a gem that has been broken into eight halves."

This topic is a bit big, and the assistant bowed his head and did not respond.

Erin did not need to respond: "You go and do your work, report to me immediately if there is any new situation."

"Yes, madam."

The assistant returned to his observation team with a sense of relief.

At the same time, similar conversations were taking place in other countries next door, but two of them were somewhat special.

One was the viewing group of the Kingdom of Levend.

The people from Levender were very silent.

They arranged various observation equipment in silence one by one, and there was no communication except for eye contact.

The source of silence came from Master Lafayette in the living room.

This master was an important member of the royal family of Levender Sheila.

This time, I came to Weilan, watching the ceremony was just a by-product, and the main purpose was to communicate with the new duke about the problem of fake bank deposits.

The amount of this deposit was a bit large, estimated to be more than 5 million Oggs. If it was really compensated to Weilan, Levender’s financial situation would be greatly affected.

That’s fine.

The main reason was that this incident made Levender lose face for the boss, and the royal family of Levender gained a reputation as a "thief" in the entire alliance.

This caused Levender’s business reputation to be greatly affected, and various overseas trades were greatly damaged.

One gain and one loss, or more losses.

Lafayette thought bitterly in his heart: "I don't know who gave the little king the bad idea!"

The other one is Aaron.

Aaron has always been the suzerain of Weilan, but this time he was kicked out.

One can imagine how frustrated he felt.

Aaron's envoy Sir Yarak's face has been livid recently and has never returned to normal.

Amidst the different thoughts of the viewing groups from various countries, and amid the soaring enthusiasm of the entire harbor area, suddenly a 'buzzing' thunder sound came from the horizon.

As soon as the sound came out, the crowd in the harbor area suddenly burst into loud cheers.

This was not the first time they heard this sound. Once you hear such a strange sound once, you will never forget it.

I was a little scared last time, but I'm proud of it this time.

Because it was a powerful flying magic weapon built by the Duke, it took the lives of all the noble families in the south of Weiland after it circled around Weiland, so it was called by the people of Weiland as the 'Thundering Angel who professed death to the Count'.

The ministers from various countries were immediately in high spirits!

Erin, who had been sitting lazily, stood up from her seat with a bang.

"This is the sound of violent airflow!"

She had heard similar noises, and the Radiant Empire's latest high-speed flying instrument made similar noises while flying.

"Locate the position of the flying magic weapon immediately~immediately~I want to see the clearest picture~~"

The observation group composed of more than twenty assistant mages has already begun to be busy.

About two minutes later, a clear three-dimensional light and shadow appeared on the ground in the middle of the living room, the protagonists of which were two obtuse triangular aircraft.

There is an elliptical cockpit above the flying instrument, but the cockpit is shrouded in a blue light curtain, making it difficult to see the specific situation inside.

Erin subconsciously covered her mouth and whispered: "This magical weapon is so big!"

The wingspan is close to twenty meters, which is more than twice the size of the magic weapon tested by the empire.

She immediately asked: "What's the speed now?"

The assistant mage immediately reported: "It flies very smoothly at 400 kilometers per hour, and has almost perfect control over the airflow around the body."

"I saw it. It is indeed very stable, and it must have flown over a long distance from Paddlefish Island~~ What an amazing flying magic weapon!"

This kind of body shape and such flying attitude greatly surpass the latest flying magic weapon developed by the empire.

Except for the slightly slower flight speed, the performance currently displayed has completely crushed the imperial flying magic weapon.

At this moment, the two flying instruments suddenly rolled and quickly lowered their altitude.

In just a few seconds, it dropped from more than 500 meters to less than 30 meters above the bay, almost flying close to the sea.

When they did this, the air flow raised by the aircraft drew two foggy tracks directly on the sea, and the terrifying sound of wind and thunder resounded throughout the entire Storm Bay.

This elegant and violent flying movement shocked Irene speechless.

She had only one thought in her mind: 'It's so flexible, several levels more flexible than the empire's magic weapon. ’

If the empire's flying magic weapon dares to do this, it will definitely be shot directly on the sea.

"Oh~~~~"

The Welan people who were watching the ceremony around Storm Bay almost went crazy, cheering as hard as they could, the sound was so loud that it almost drowned out the sound of wind and thunder.

After all, there are many mages and warriors in the crowd, and these people have surprisingly loud voices.

Regardless of their restraint, they shouted with all their strength, and they gathered into a terrifying sound that almost pierced the sky.

Listening to such a huge movement, Irene's face changed slightly, showing a very solemn look, and a terrible thought flashed through her heart.

‘The souls of these Weilan people are being brought together by the new Duke! ’

One person's thoughts are nothing, and the thoughts of a circle of people are not terrible, but if millions of people run in one direction with all their strength, they can accomplish great things!

The Glorious Empire has never put the Natural Alliance together because the Natural Alliance is a piece of loose sand.

But now, a strong man has appeared who can gather the scattered sand into a tower.

A vague idea appeared in Erin's mind.

‘If nothing else happens, this new Duke will probably become the empire’s most powerful enemy! ’

At this time, the two terrifying flying instruments returned to the sky, circled each other, and disappeared into the clouds.

Before everyone could recover, a huge figure appeared at the entrance of Storm Bay.

The Blackstone Battleship is coming.

The assistant mage immediately transformed the clear image of the Blackstone Battleship into a new pure water scene.

Erin stared.

Above the clear water and white waves, a pointed warship about 50 meters long and nearly 8 meters wide, with a light blue metallic luster all over its body, was seen breaking through the waves.

The speed is very fast, the warship's tip splits the waves like a tomahawk, and pierces violently through the waves.

Waves several meters high rushed towards the bow of the ship, and were easily smashed and cut in half by the bow. Then a hazy white mist formed, covering the hull of the ship, and was further crushed by the high-speed advancing hull. Then it was The entire battleship was covered in a ball of white gauze with flying currents.

After just one glance, Irene was firmly attracted by this battleship, and only one word came to her mind: 'What a beautiful battleship! ’

Not only was she attracted, but all the assistant mages in the room were also attracted.

Because this battleship shows a temperament that coexists with power and elegance. It is so beautiful that it is thrilling and blood boiling.

And there’s more than one!

Soon, the second, third, fourth, and up to the tenth Blackstone warships sailed into the Gulf of Storms.

This fleet cuts through the waves!

This fleet is advancing against the wind!

This fleet is fighting against the might of nature and showing the might of magic to the fullest!

‘Hua La~~~~’

The audience around Storm Bay was once again boiling with excitement.

Compared to the flying magic tools that are not created by the human world, in the Natural Alliance that attaches great importance to maritime trade, from the king and duke to the common people, everyone is very clear about the importance of warships.

So they can clearly feel the greatness and beauty of the Black Stone Fleet in front of them!

The impulsive people cheered and even sprayed blood.

The viewing groups of various countries in the Blue Whale Mansion also looked at this beautiful and powerful steel fleet with eyes full of envy and shock.

Almost everyone, at the moment of seeing this fleet, subconsciously regarded this fleet as a perfect example of a new era warship.

The room where Irene is.

After a long time, Irene spoke: "Compared to these beautiful warships, our Black Stone warships are just a group of ugly monsters that spew black smoke and run slowly!"

The Black Stone warships of the Glorious Empire are much larger than the warships in front of them, or in other words, they are much more bloated, and they are loaded with many more thunder magic tools, and the caliber is obviously larger.

But in terms of speed and maneuverability, they are far inferior to the warships in front of them.

Especially in terms of appearance, they are completely crushed.

In comparison, the Black Stone warships of the Glorious Empire are like monsters with foul odors all over their bodies, while the warships in front of them are elegant white swans.

Everyone has the nature of pursuing beauty. Although there is a suspicion of boosting the momentum of others, the assistant mages in the room have the same opinion.

The Black Stone warships of our country are indeed too ugly.

An assistant mage said: "But if we fight on the ocean, our fleet will win."

The Glorious Empire already has more than 30 steel Black Stone warships, and new warships are constantly being launched.

In terms of the production capacity of new warships, let alone Weilan, the entire Natural Alliance combined may not be able to match the Glorious Empire.

In just one year, the Empire will have hundreds of Black Stone Steel Warships.

Irene nodded.

"This is probably the only comforting point, but ugliness is the original sin. When I go back, I have to suggest to the Queen to scold the wizard who designed the new warship!"

Of course, even if they can win, it does not prevent these Glorious Empire wizards from regarding this Weilan fleet as a strong opponent.

Because its power performance is obviously excellent.

In the end, the beautiful fleet slowly anchored at the harbor pier, where a gorgeous escort carriage team had already been prepared.

Under the protection of countless strong men, the tall new Duke and the beautiful Princess Dawn, wearing special marshal uniforms, walked down the deck arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder.

Irene immediately said, "I heard that this duke was promoted to a five-ring sage at a young age. Zoom in, let me take a good look at him!"

The image zoomed in, and under the excellent observation skills of the Glorious Empire, the beard on the new duke's lips could almost be seen.

Irene looked carefully and thought to herself: 'It seems that the rumors are true. The new duke does have a good appearance. '

She ordered the assistant beside her: "Record this appearance. Her Majesty the Queen wants to know what this Duke Weilan looks like."

The assistant mage immediately did so.

As for Princess Chenxi, Irene only glanced at her casually.

She thought she was okay. She was indeed very beautiful. I heard that she also had a four-ring magic achievement. Not bad. She was an outstanding princess.

But being outstanding alone is far from enough to shock the world. You must stand at the top to be qualified to say this.

So, her eyes turned back to the young new duke, and she thought to herself: 'This is probably the first opponent that His Majesty has valued so much. '

"I want to meet you and see where you are so powerful."

At the same time, Storm Bay.

The most prestigious member of the Adrian clan greeted Rosen.

Holland and Tewold stood side by side on both sides of the road.

Seeing Rosen coming over with his niece, Tewold winked at Holland, who squinted his eyes and pretended not to see it.

Tewold cursed in his heart: 'You old stubborn, is this the time to be stubborn? Don't you know how terrible this new duke is? '

The new duke only needs one word, and the fanatical Weilan civilians around him can hang all those with the surname Adrian on the street lamps!

Princess Dawn is no longer named Adrian, her full name is Selena Adrian Saxon.

So, in order to continue the glory of the family, he can only bear the humiliation.

So, he gritted his teeth, took a step forward alone, bent down deeply, put one hand on his chest, stretched the other hand behind him, and shouted loudly.

"Great Lord Weilan, your loyal Dawn City welcomes your arrival and feels extremely honored for it!"
