Chapter 656: Oxtail and Iron Hoof

The glorious son of the Tulip family used to be a kind of polite flattery, but now it has become a fact recognized by everyone. If even Liszt cannot be called the Son of Glory, then the Grand Duchy of Sapphire probably has no Son of Glory either.

The youngest Sky Knight, the inheritor of Ghost Swordsman.

Defeat the domain knights and capture the sword master.

Snatch the iron ore mine and win the largest iron ore harvest since the development order for hundreds of years.

Such a cool deed can be called sparks and lightning all the way, and it is very difficult not to attract attention. Now that the pioneering order has ended, and the process of the war has basically spread throughout the country, the nobles and commoners on any island have probably started to talk about Liszt.

Even in the Eagle Kingdom, Liszt's name probably has a small range of popularity.

At least in the area around the mouth of the Roaring River, the nobles should be known to everyone.

With such a strong man as his son, Earl William William had to welcome him to the door in person to show his respect and importance to Liszt.

And those family members and servants who are attached to the strong family members naturally have to show more respect.

The little transparent, cowardly second son who dismissed the frontier town for nothing in that family in the past has completely disappeared. Now Liszt is a radiant, incomparable genius and hero in everyone's eyes. He is the most outstanding bloodline heir of the Tulip family, without any controversy.

"Father, please welcome me in person."

"This is the treatment you deserve. I'm proud of you, my son!" William Li reached out and patted Liszt's shoulder, which was already a head taller than him.

I always feel that the glory of the knight is all favored by Liszt alone. The strength that overwhelms the top powerhouse, the handsomeness that fascinates thousands of girls, and the luck of picking up elves, each of which is enough to make people mad with envy, not to mention All three are gathered.

He turned around and said to Mrs. Marie beside him, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare the banquet tonight according to the New Year's standards."

"Okay, you father and son talk more, and I will personally supervise the preparation of the kitchen." Mrs. Marie left with a smile.

The earl said to Lytton again: "You go and inform your grandmother and sister to attend the banquet together tonight."

Then he said to Luo Liya: "Go and make a pot of tea, and send it to the study later, let's go to the study to chat for a while."

"OK,

Father. "Luo Liya also left with a smile.

Only Li William, Levi's, and Liszt and his son were left, and they went straight into the study. At present, these three men need to make decisions about the major issues of the Tulip family. To be precise, William Li and Liszt need to negotiate with each other, and Levi's is just incidental.

"Father, the iron ore transportation went smoothly?"

"It's a little surprising that it went smoothly. Alonso Cyclamen never showed up, but we didn't dare to stay at the mouth of the Roaring River for too long. As soon as the transportation of the iron ore was completed, the eldest prince announced the end of the development order to protect the iron ore At the same time, they are asking for news from the Iron Ridge Kingdom to confirm Alonso's movements."

The Kunlongshan Iron Mine is owned by the Bronze Dragon Knight - Alonso Cyclamen. After the knight who fled the mine sent a message, he could not remain indifferent.

Even if he couldn't come, he would send someone to fight for it.

In order to show his existence, Levi's hurriedly interjected: "I have already discussed with my father, and I think it may be that the war on the border has involved Alonso. In addition, the domain knights under the dragon knights can't beat you, so we should just use it strategically." Abandon the Kunlongshan Iron Mine."

Liszt nodded: "There is a possibility."

At present, this possibility is more logical, so he did not continue to think about it. He has successfully ridden the dragon, and no matter what threat he faces, he can deal with it safely.

He is more concerned about the settlement of military achievements: "Then how will the Grand Duke define our military achievements, and how many tons of iron ore can be distributed to us? Where does he promise father's marquis territory, and what do you think about me and the Grand Duke?"

"We made the main military exploits in snatching iron ore, but a large part of the military exploits in transporting iron ore has been distributed. I estimate that the Grand Duke will allocate 100,000 tons of iron ore to us." The earl said with a bit of pain, "this part of the iron ore The ores are naturally your spoils."

Liszt smiled and didn't speak.

It was agreed a long time ago that the battle credits belong to the earl and the spoils belong to him.

The count continued: "The Grand Duke is directly guarding Ironshoe Island. Although everyone was arguing at the military exploits meeting, after the meeting, the Grand Duke clearly told me that there are three fief marquises on Ironshoe Island, including ox horns, ox tails, and ox hooves, plus the Marquis of Ironshoe City. Let me choose one of them."

"Why is there another Marquis of Ironshoe City? Father, what is your choice?"

"Ironshoe City is a big city second only to the Blue Dragon City where the palace is located. A marquis from the Blue Blood Alliance is embedded in it, who happens to be able to supervise Ironshoe Island... I chose the Marquis of Oxtail. The Marquis of Oxhoof needs to face the mainland directly. , Marquis Oxtail is relatively calm."

Li Weilian's thoughts are more in favor of the mean.

Niujiao City is the starting point of Sapphire's attack on the mainland, so naturally it has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of suppressing the sea; Niujiao City was once a prosperous city no less than Ironshoe City, and various underground forces of Sapphire are mixed in Niujiao City; only Niuwei City is not so eye-catching , suitable for low-key development.

The Tulip family is just an earl family, and its background is far worse than that of the Changyu family, and it takes time to develop.

Choose the Marquis of Oxtail to rule the big city Oxtail City, as well as the two big cities Oxtail City and Ox Rib City, as well as the surrounding Guangbao land, which is enough for the development of the family.

"It's a good choice." Liszt nodded, expressing his understanding.

The count glanced at Liszt with complicated eyes, and said, "There is another reason why I chose the Marquis of Oxtail. The Grand Duke wants me to choose the Marquis of Oxtail."

"Um?"

"Because the Grand Duke told me that among the three Marquises of Ironshoe Island, the Marquis of Oxtail has the weakest potential for development, but...he hopes to leave the position of Marquis of Ironshoe City to you. In this way, the power of our father and son will join forces. More than the Marquess of the Oxhoof and the Marquess of the Horns."

Liszt couldn't deny this: "Is it checks and balances?"

"But I prefer to stay in Heima Island and Huahua Town. There is a foundation I have worked hard to develop here, and I don't want to follow the Grand Duke and become a Marquis of the Blue Blood Alliance."

The nobles of the Blue Blood Alliance, apart from robbing, rely on the breath of the Grand Duke to survive.

Liszt is not even willing to be a follower of the Grand Duke's lord, let alone become a hound in the hands of the Grand Duke, even if the title of Marquis is still not rare.

After all, he is a dragon knight who wants to build his own country.

"You still have a lot of time to think about it. This time, all your military achievements will be handed over to me, but they are too huge after all. I believe that as long as you choose to follow the Grand Duke, I can still share part of your military achievements to meet your conditions for being promoted to the earl of the fief. If you join the blue Blood Alliance, I'm afraid they can be directly promoted to Marquis of Ironshoe City."

in the heart.

The earl hoped that Liszt would choose the title of Marquis of Ironshoe City. Ironshoe City is the largest city on Ironshoe Island, and the area of ​​the attached territory is not much smaller than that of ordinary earls.

With Liszt's strength, it is unlikely that he will be driven around by the Grand Duke like other blue-blooded nobles.

Basically equivalent to a half-feudal, half-blooded noble lord, and joining forces with him, the incoming Marquess of Oxtail, he would be able to become the biggest force on Ironshoe Island.

At that time, the Tulip family will become a real nobleman second only to the Sapphire family.

But to his disappointment, Liszt simply shook his head: "I can't follow the Grand Duke directly...Brother, please go out and see if anyone is walking around, and send them away."

"Forehead?"

Levi's froze for a moment, then stood up: "Oh, okay."
