Chapter 825: Chapter 0822: There Can Only Be One Overlord (Second Update)

A few light green gems were placed on the table by Liszt.

“This is the light green gem produced by the Light Green Gemstone Dragon for me. If the Dragon Knights of the Eagle Kingdom dare to start another dragon-slaying war with me, they might just end up giving me another dragon.”

Even if he didn’t bring out the light green gems, Mesiro and the other two believed that he had three dragons. But obviously the gems brought a greater impact.

“Light Green Gemstone Dragon, huh? To think that Eagle Kingdom went through all that effort to wage a dragon-slaying war, only to gain nothing and even lost a dragon and a Dragon Knight!” Mesiro looked at Liszt, his estimation of his nephew soaring without limits, “You alone really could stand against a whole country!”

“This is just the beginning. Maritime nations can never match the development potential of continental countries. I will sooner or later march towards the Legendary Continent and establish a vast kingdom that spans both sea and land!” Liszt was also recklessly boasting, since it cost nothing to dream big.

“The territory of the Legendary Continent should have been occupied by various kingdoms by now; I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to find new land to establish a country on.” Mesiro thought for a while, but still felt he should advise Liszt to keep a lower profile.

...

However, Meioubao said excitedly, “Liszt, if you can establish a kingdom that spans both sea and land, I will follow you when the time comes!”

“Sure thing, cousin. Coming to my country, you’ll surely not be worse off than in the Duchy of Sapphire. Even now, the Flame Islands have much more fertile islands than Red Crab Island.”

It would be good news if the Long Taro Family were willing to give up Red Crab Island and defect to him.

The Flame Islands were too large, and what he lacked most now was population. Even with his own followers and subjects, as well as the followers and subjects of the Tulip Family, he feared they might not even reach a population of eight hundred thousand. Eight hundred thousand people developing an archipelago of nearly five million square kilometers was simply frightening.

The average land area per person in the Flame Islands reached more than 6.25 square kilometers, whereas in China, the average land area per person was only 0.0054 square kilometers.

That’s why he had been opening channels, welcoming any Knights who came to join him, as long as they could bring in population.

But after all, the Long Taro Family had been rooted in Red Crab Island for many years, and it was not easy to operate and manage their industry, plus there was the relationship with Little Princess Angela; it would be hard to let go of Sapphire.

Mesiro would not easily make a commitment.

Only Roland Pinecone had decided to follow Liszt and head to Flame Island to seek fortune. Liszt immediately stated, “Uncle Roland, if the Pinecone Family is willing to head to Flame Island for development, then I can promise an Earldom, and the title you hold now, cousin Rolie, can be inherited by you.”

Viscount Roland and Aunt Melinda had two sons, Russell and Rolie.

Russell could inherit his father’s title, while Rolie would have to earn his own accomplishments. Now Liszt not only promised the Pinecone Family an Earldom but also added a Viscountship.

The temptation was too great.

Viscount Roland was thrilled, even feeling a tinge of fear, as the title of Earl was the dream he dared not entertain, “Liszt, I… am just an Elite Earth Knight, am I eligible for promotion to Earl?”

“Normally, only a Sky Knight is eligible for promotion to Earl, but in my country I make the rules. Uncle can be promoted to Earl. If, after three generations, the Pinecone Family still can’t produce a new Sky Knight heir, then in accordance with knightly tradition, it will be demoted to Viscount.”

Liszt appreciated this system of demoting those with insufficient strength — he had no intention of supporting a bunch of worthless followers who enjoyed the resources of their lands, yet were too mediocre to even win any military honors.

Roland immediately replied, “Don’t worry. Although I have no hope to become a Sky Knight in this lifetime, and Rolie is not talented in that regard, the Pinecone Family will spare no resources to train a third-generation Sky Knight successor!”

“In that case, once my grandfather’s funeral is over, Uncle Roland, please start preparing to set off for Flame Island. The sooner you start participating in the development of Flame Island, the more justified I will be in bestowing the title of Earl upon you.”

“Alright!”

After discussing this topic, Meioubao couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “Liszt, since you have three dragons already, what kind of dragon is the other one?”

Liszt smiled faintly, “Let’s keep it a secret for now.”

After staying a night at Long Taro Castle, Liszt set off to leave the next day. The funeral was scheduled for July 15, and it was now only the 7th, leaving eight days’ time. He had merely come in advance to show his face, letting others know his stance on protecting the Long Taro Family. Thus, he took his leave from Mesiro and others, and with Ach, he returned to Black Horse Island. He had planned to have a chat with the Marquis of Bull Tail, but the Marquis had gone to the Bull Tail Domain, and the Levis Couple had gone with him. Therefore, he decided to rest and recuperate on Black Horse Island.

“Your Highness, as per your instructions, Black Horse Island has started organizing various industries. This is the list of industries scheduled for short, medium, and long-term relocation,” Administrative Officer Isaiah from Giant Algae City brought Liszt a list.

It meticulously recorded all the industries of the Flame Territory.

Each industry was marked with an approximate date for potential migration; as Flame Island was gradually developed, these industries could be steadily transferred. What would be left behind was a deserted territory to be returned to the Duchy of Sapphire—but the transfer of industries was not urgent.

It would be good to take advantage of the Duchy of Sapphire for a few years first.

As for Liszt, he had actually decided not to return Black Horse Island— he wanted to wait and see if, with the help of the Formless Dragon, Ach could develop the Magic Teleportation Array soon.

Once the Magic Teleportation Array was researched and established, a teleportation array between Black Horse Island and Flame Island could be created, thus integrating the Sapphire Archipelago with the Flame Islands. Liszt was planning to establish his kingdom, and could recruit the Sapphire Family as followers, swearing allegiance and paying tribute to him.

“There needs only to be one master of the seas, and that’s me. Duke Andrew’s life is drawing to a close, and Anthony will definitely not be able to ride the Sapphire Dragon. It’s feasible to take him on as a little brother.”

Originally, Anthony wanted to take Liszt as his little brother, but now that Liszt was Dragon Riding, he thought of taking Anthony as his little brother.

He intended to embrace the four seas and dominate the blue waters; the Sapphire was a thorn that must be pulled out.

He rested for the night.

Liszt did not linger long in Thorn Castle. Alongside Ach, he led ten framed ships sailing toward the Whirlpool Archipelago. A day later, they arrived at the Great Whirlpool and continued as before, smoothly navigating the ten framed ships through to Flame Island’s Whirlpool Mountain to support the construction of Flame Town.

On July 11, he and Ach continued their journey across the sea. This time, the aim was to find Durt Red Apricot’s fleet, which was navigating the vast seas. Ach controlled a Water Tornado to help increase the speed of the fleet. However, due to the large number of ships, she couldn’t provide much speed. It took three full days to escort the fleet to the Whirlpool Archipelago. The fleet would leave behind a group of Knights and Serfs to build Whirlpool Town.

Another part continued sailing, not through the Great Whirlpool, but along the nautical route towards the Flame Islands, eventually landing at the mouth of Whirlpool River.

Settlements were to be established along Whirlpool River, culminating in their joining with Flame Town.

After sending the fleet to the Whirlpool Archipelago, Liszt took Ach and left again, returning to Red Crab Island to attend Marquis Merlin’s funeral.

Just as they arrived at Red Crab Island, Ach took out the Magic Platform to contact the magicians at Flame Town, inquiring about the progress of several experiments. Unexpectedly, they received a Magic Platform message from Black Horse Island, revealing that the shipbuilders at the port town’s dockyard had launched a trial sail of a new type of Longitudinal Sailboat.

Kostor and his companions were busy figuring out the nautical data of the Longitudinal Sailboat.

He couldn’t help but summon the Smoke Mission to check on the progress and, indeed, found that the mission was complete.

“Mission completed, reward: new Longitudinal Sailboat.”
