Chapter 1029: Chapter 1026: The New Era of the Kingdom Chapter 1029: Chapter 1026: The New Era of the Kingdom In the blink of an eye, September had arrived, and Dimaria Yuhua Stone arrived at the Fortress of the Mind through the Heart Reed Teleportation Formation.
The island where the Fortress of the Mind was located had beco a bustling port, with a large number of ships docked and countless serfs loading and unloading goods. Outputs from Fla Island were sent from here to Steel Ridge, Eagle and other countries, and foreign goods also converged here to Fla Island.
However, there were strict quarantine standards for goods in transit, to prevent the likes of rats and other spies from sneaking in.
“It is a great miracle, no matter how many tis I go through it,” Dimaria silently marveled as he looked at the dark Magic Gate behind him.
Thinking about this departure from Fla Island, he felt sowhat conflicted.
As the forr Marquis Nuta, born in Eagle Kingdom, he had once clinked glasses with King Adonis Moonlight Silver of Eagle Kingdom. Now captured and defecting to Fla Kingdom, and serving as the vice-chairman of the Developnt Committee, he virtually held the entire kingdom’s authority.
This taste of power far surpassed his forr glory.
Yet now, he was to visit Sapphire Duchy under the title of emissary of Fla Kingdom to discuss this year’s Pioneer Mandate with Duke Anthony Sapphire.
Following the sa routine as last year, the Sapphire Dragon would take the lead, invading Eagle Kingdom to plunder its population.
Despite the demotion, the Sapphire Duchy still belonged to Steel Ridge Kingdom, holding such a title made the Pioneer Mandate happen as naturally as in previous years. Moreover, deploying the Sapphire Dragon provided a valid excuse—had not Eagle Kingdom once waged a dragon-slaying war against the Sapphire Dragon, so couldn’t the Sapphire Duchy seek retribution?
But anyone with clear sight knew that behind it all, Fla Kingdom was supporting the Pioneer Mandate. This was Liszt’s revenge.
“King Adonis, all I can say is I’m sorry. The Yu Huashi Family couldn’t gain protection from Eagle Kingdom; for the benefit of my family, I had no choice but to lean towards Fla Kingdom… His Majesty Liszt, with his extraordinary talents and shocking power, will only bring greater prosperity to the Yu Huashi Family.”
Casting aside that slight guilt in his heart, Dimaria adjusted his mindset by the ti he arrived at Blue Dragon Island by ship.
Now, he was a knight of Fla Kingdom, serving only his family and Fla Kingdom!
…
Florence Pursuit Arrow stood in front of the Magic Gate at the Male Jade Transmission Array, waiting among the crowd.
Today, the migrating knights from Grey Iron Duchy, having journeyed from the endless wilderness, were resting in Heroic Yellow City. Duke Piero Grey Iron and other nobles would today cross through the Teleportation Array to reach Jade City, officially joining Fla Kingdom and becoming followers of Liszt Fla, the Fla King.
The welcoming team was led by Li Weiliam Tulip, a middle-aged noble currently holding only the title of Marquis, yet one of the few top elites in Fla Kingdom—he was the father of the king!
He himself had advanced to beco a Domain Knight, ranked just below Dragon Knights.
There were those who envied Li Weiliam, those who resented him, and also those who scorned him. Many believed that Li Weiliam owed all his current glory to his son; otherwise, he would rely be a re Sword Saint with an Earl’s title, hardly qualified for such glorious monts.
However, Li Weiliam paid no heed to these envious words; if others were capable, let them also have such a powerful son.
Florence spared a glance at Li Weiliam, harboring neither envy nor admiration; he was about to beco a Completion Level Sky Knight, and he also possessed a —given the Grey Iron Duchy’s forr inextricable relationship with the Eagle Royal Family, it naturally secured the training manual for Domain Knights.
While Duke Piero might lack the talent and fail in the training, Florence was brimming with confidence.
He was destined to beco a Domain Knight, rising with the ascent of the Fla Kingdom, achieving brilliant battle honors, and becoming a Duke was not out of reach.
“A new kingdom rising invariably ans competing with the original three kingdoms for resources; there ample opportunities for to achieve battle honors… Even if I fail to seize these opportunities, I can still inherit my father’s noble title and beco a Duke… But I prefer to earn the Duke title myself!”
He arrived at Fla Island, where his workload was minimal, allowing him plenty of opportunities to travel and explore.
The most discussed topics here were not noble gossip and secrets, but conversations about battle honors and admiration for Liszt.
At sixteen, he was still an Apprentice Knight, known as useless, and was marginalized to the most remote rural town.
However, by eighteen, Liszt had beco a Sky Knight and soon after, a Dragon Knight. He surged to prominence after a dragon-slaying battle on the high seas. Then, during the second dragon-slaying campaign, as a Holy Dragon Knight, he solo fought against five dragons and two Dragon Knights from Eagle Kingdom.
He killed a Dragon Knight and seized the Grey Iron Dragon,
stunning the three great kingdoms.
Now, at only twenty-one, Liszt owned seven dragons—Formless Dragon, Fire Dragon, Light Green Gemstone Dragon, Grey Iron Dragon, Mountain Copper Dragon, Aluminum Dragon, and Bone Dragon—he didn’t know Liszt had acquired a Water Dragon, reaching eight dragons in total.
In this era, the most legendary and brilliant figure was Liszt; everyone knew his rise was unstoppable.
Thus, being able to follow Liszt ant imminent success and signalled that great nobles would spring up like bamboo after rain.
“My starting point is far higher than King Liszt’s, although I haven’t been touched by the knight’s glory as the Son of Glory, I too must strive to create my own legacy rather than inherit my father’s noble title…”
As he was lost in thought,
suddenly, soone yelled, “He’s coming!”
Florence snapped back to reality, looking up at the dark magic gate, where a deep blue vortex erged followed by a loud dragon roar. The next mont, a long silver figure burst out of the magic gate under the sunlight, glistening with silver light.
It was the Aluminum Dragon he had once failed to win in the Mind Battle!
Now it had beco one of Liszt’s mounts, escorting the knight migration team to Fla Island.
After the Aluminum Dragon erged from the Male Jade Transmission Array, it didn’t look back, ascending into the sky and disappeared—it headed to the Dragon Nest Liszt was preparing for it.
The Aluminum Dragon’s appearance caused a stir among the knights, but it soon cald down—this group of welcoming knights had seen plenty of dragons, particularly on Fla Island, where dragons, especially the Formless ones, made frequent appearances, their beautiful forms already winning everyone’s hearts.
Thus, the sight of a new Aluminum Dragon didn’t excite them much.
A mont later, the teleportation array whirled again, and a group of knights erged. Seeing the familiar flags behind the knights, Florence wanted to step forward to greet them but then halted, following the actions of the other knights—he did not want people to know of his relationship with Duke Pierrot.
After all, he was determined to strive on his own and start a new family legacy.
His reservations did not affect the entire welcoming ceremony; Li Weiliam had already ridden forward on his Black Blood Treasured Horse, exchanging knightly courtesies with Duke Pierrot.
“Duke Pierrot, knights, welco to Fla Island. I am honored to represent Liszt Fla, the Fla King, and offer you our heartfelt welco. His Majesty eagerly anticipates your arrival, as the Fla Kingdom now needs your contribution to inaugurate a new era for our kingdom.”
