Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 378: Dragon Riders
"I wonder what you think of this war?"

Elizabeth leaned on a chair covered with red velvet with her snow-white thighs raised, looking extremely lazy. This queen had a unique temperament, and her every move was filled with elegance and nobility.

He was completely different from the night before.

There was a moment of silence in the parliament hall. The envoys kept their mouths shut and only communicated with each other through eye contact.

After all, if you fail to answer this question correctly, you might be labeled a spy of the Persian Gulf Empire and sent to the gallows.

Levi sat in the main seat on Debe's side, nibbling on an apple idly and looking around.

A long table formed a circle in the hall, with each of the three parties occupying a direction.

The lord shifted his gaze towards the Sith country and found that Elizabeth was also looking over there. He immediately showed an impeccable smile. The latter had a look of indifference on her face and quickly turned her head away.

"I think this war is to rescue the slaves who are suffering in the Persian Gulf Empire, and secondly to dethrone Fern I who intends to affect the peace of the Middle Ages. There is no reason for a crazy tyrant to sit on the throne anymore, which will only cause countless civilians to suffer."

Prince Luofu quickly prepared his speech and looked righteous.

As soon as these words came out, it was like everyone said what they wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and everyone gave warm applause without hesitation.

The council hall suddenly became lively again, and the sound of discussion was loud enough to blow the roof off.

"Yes, the citizens of the Jade Continent have been oppressed by the brutal Persian Gulf Empire for hundreds of years. It is time for them to return to the embrace of civilization."

"King Fern I has gone mad, otherwise he wouldn't have done so many absurd things that angered the gods and resented the common people."

"The people of the Persian Gulf Empire are indeed descendants of pirates. They are always robbers at heart. Choosing to go to war with us will only make these pirates return the land they stole!"

Perhaps none of the people present were famous military strategists, but they would certainly be able to do the simplest arithmetic. If they were put in the position of the Persian Gulf Empire, they would have no idea how they could fight against the three powerful countries.

The three of them can easily form an army of one million, and this is an army that can easily defeat the other three small principalities!
Therefore, the top leaders of the Three Kingdoms generally believed that it was a completely wrong choice for King Fern I to take the initiative to declare war on Derby at this time, which was no different from seeking his own death.

Elizabeth tapped the chair gently, and the clerk next to her immediately sang loudly: "Silence."

"According to the latest intelligence from the Minister of Intelligence of the Sith Nation, for this war, the Persian Gulf Empire has trained almost all of its slaves into soldiers. Even the few remaining free people, even those with the support of the nobles, have been forced to engage in iron smelting and the construction of various weapons."

"In other words, this Fern I has decided to fight us with his entire country, and there is a sea between us and them. Just how to cross the sea is a problem."

"If it is a narrow sea, our priests of Telesis can use magic to freeze the sea so that the warriors can cross the sea, but the hurricane sea is too vast." The envoy of Telesis said with some regret.

As the country with the most magicians and the strongest among the Three Kingdoms, they have the confidence to freeze the sea.

"Our Debe's ships are weaker than those of the Persian Gulf Empire. If we fight them at sea, we will indeed be at a disadvantage." Prince Luofu said helplessly.

In fact, Derby has always been the most outstanding fighting knight, so he has focused his energy on this aspect. As a result, while Derby's armored cavalry is the best among the seven countries, it is weaker at sea.

Although the Eastern Territory also has a naval corps, the ships are obviously far inferior to those of the Persian Gulf Empire in terms of size and speed.

"Since none of your ships have an advantage, how about letting the Sith Nation provide the ships?" Elizabeth clapped her hands and finally smiled. "We in the Sith Nation have recently developed the Forge Mastership, which is equipped with forty-eight magic crystal cannons and a magic defense barrier, and can carry three thousand soldiers."

Taylor and Debe's people fell silent for a moment, not because they disagreed, but because they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although they knew that the Holy Sith Kingdom had extremely high attainments in alchemy and would definitely crush them in various military weapons, they did not expect that they had surpassed them by so much.

"I can provide you with ships for free, without any compensation." Elizabeth said bit by bit, and then observed the expressions of others. Unfortunately, the one present was not an old fox who had been in the officialdom for decades. Even though his heart was turbulent, he remained calm.

The lord was so envious that his mouth was almost drooling. If Gaoya Castle also had such an alien-like aircraft carrier, he couldn't imagine how quickly those crappy pirates would escape at sea.

"Our only request is the ownership of White Whale Port in Emerald Continent." Her Majesty the Queen finally revealed her true purpose.

It turns out that there is no free lunch in the world, and pie will not fall from the sky.

Not to mention the meeting of three countries, every word and action is to pave the way for a reasonable share of the pie.

White Whale Port is the largest port in the Persian Gulf Empire. The number of large merchant ships docking here every day is simply incalculable. It can be said that one-fifth of the military expenditure of the Persian Gulf Empire is supported by this port.

Its importance is no different from the gate of the Vienna Parliament Hall. Once this port is controlled, it is equivalent to having the ability to open the door to the Persian Gulf Empire.

"Your Majesty, although our Debe ships are not good enough, our dragon knight can seize the air superiority over the sea and burn all the enemy ships under dragon flames." Luo Fu tapped the magic wand in his hand and said slowly: "The ships of the Sith Kingdom may be powerful, but they can't fight against the Persian Gulf Empire's surging sea fleet on their own."

If Derby's Knights Templar are the best among the seven nations, then the Persian Gulf Empire's naval fleet is also the best among the seven nations.

This group of Persians, who started out as pirates, attached great importance to naval combat power. In addition, the Jade Continent they occupied was located overseas, and there was only a group of local people on the continent. Basically, they did not have to worry about local threats, so they invested almost 80% of their military expenditures in the naval fleet.

As a result, an ace fleet that can roam the hurricane sea was created.

Tiffany looked at Levi who was daydreaming, and quickly pinched the latter's waist with her small hand.

"Ahem, yes, it is unrealistic for Her Majesty Elizabeth to obtain the ownership of White Whale Port just by providing ships. Even if Derby's ships are weaker than those of the Persian Gulf Empire, what's the point as long as I defeat the other party's fleet and make them afraid to leave the port?"

Levi could tell ten thousand lies like this without blushing.

Never mind whether Sophia is asleep or not, no one knows anyway.

As for whether anyone believed what he said?
A dragon knight, with extremely sharp dragon breath and magic, is the undisputed overlord of the sky, who can decide the outcome of a battle and even the rise and fall of a force to a certain extent. It is undoubtedly the most powerful identity symbol of human beings.

The difference between having a dragon knight and not having one is no less than a group of orcs in Highcliff Castle wearing three layers of heavy armor beating up a group of unarmed wild goblins.

Not to mention that the Lord of Highcliff Castle himself is a legendary templar who is proficient in the Holy Light.

There is only one ultimate strong man in the world who possesses both of these things, which means that the Persian Gulf Empire has no good way to deal with him.

Just as magic can fight magic, only dragons can fight dragons.

So the envoys from Debe and Telesi all applauded and flattered him like a tide.

For Taylorsi, it was obviously unacceptable for the Holy Sith Kingdom to obtain White Whale Port by relying on this point, so they naturally agreed with Debe.

"Lord Levi is absolutely right." Taylor was also represented by a deputy envoy.

This second envoy is a female priestess, said to be in her early thirties. Her facial features are nothing special and cannot compare to Tiffany at all. However, she has a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth, and her charming temperament makes her look "enchanting" even if she does nothing. She is very alluring.

But anyone who treats her as an ordinary woman will suffer the consequences.

The other person was wearing a puffy cardinal robe with an exquisite gold leaf hanging on his chest, which was extremely eye-catching, as if it had some special representative meaning.

If you are also a magician, you must know that this golden oak leaf is only found in the White Tower, which means that the other party is not only the cardinal of Tayloris, but also has been to the White Tower, the holy land of mages, to study magic.

"We can't win the war with just a few ships, and the value of White Whale Port cannot be matched by a few ships. Taylorsi may not have elite soldiers or warships, but we have magicians that are beyond your reach. We will use magic to help you defeat powerful enemies, chop up warships, and blow up city walls." The priestess' short golden hair was as dazzling as gold.

There was no doubt that Taylor Swift was on the same side as Debe in this matter, so naturally she had to help.

Her tone was clearly cold-blooded, but it was able to arouse the desire in the man's heart: "The magic of our hundred-man group can resonate with each other and sink the fleet that the other party is so proud of into the bottomless abyss forever!"

"If I think about it carefully, it's true. This matter is really difficult to deal with." Elizabeth pretended to have a headache.

"In fact, it's not impossible for Her Majesty Elizabeth to want White Whale Harbor. We in Derby also need the ownership of the Golden Plains."

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Prince Luofu smiled slightly and finally revealed his true colors.

"Golden Plains? Can you eat that?" Elizabeth smiled. "This plain has always been an important grain-producing area for the Persian Gulf Empire. There are three legions stationed here."

Just as Debe didn't want the Sith Kingdom to control White Whale Port, she couldn't tolerate this place known as the "Womb of God" falling into Debe's hands.

The envoys from the three countries started arguing again, wasting a lot of time but still without any progress.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Levi felt that it would be more refreshing to fight a battle, so he snapped his fingers.

"Quiet!" Zamanzi next to him immediately understood and howled.

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in the parliament hall in an instant. Everyone's eyes turned over involuntarily. No one was angry because the arrogant green fat man was standing behind the dragon knight.

"Everyone, there is no point in wasting time on this issue!" Levi said calmly, without questioning, "The war hasn't even started yet and we're already fighting over something. Those Persians will laugh at us."

"I think it's most appropriate to talk about merit no matter where you are. Whether it's the Golden Plains or White Whale Port, it's better to distribute it after the war."

"Let's stop talking about the distribution of benefits! Because this is undoubtedly a stupid thing that will not make any substantial progress even if we discuss it for three days and three nights! Now let's start discussing the three-nation coalition, military assistance from each country, and how to deal with the strategic deployment of the Persian Gulf Empire."

The lord's eyes swept across each envoy, and the meaning contained in his eyes was as heavy as a mountain, making everyone secretly frightened.

Even Elizabeth had to admit that the other person already had the same temperament as her.

Even if you just sit there without moving, you will naturally attract everyone's attention.

Tiffany's sea-blue eyes were filled with Levi's image. Her husband, like her father, was the tallest man in the world.

His mere presence would put an end to all conflict and chaos, just like the Trident of Poseidon in Seattle suppressing the waves and storms of the sea.

"Sir Levi is right. It is too early to discuss the ownership of the land now. It will not be too late to discuss it after everything is over." Taylor's priestess agreed.

"In this war, our Sith Congress will send out three legions of a total of 150,000 people as the vanguard in the early stage. The Zhaidai golems and various alchemical creations will also participate in the war, and we will provide you, Taylor and Debe, with the best possible furnace main ship numbers." Elizabeth knocked on the table and gave the most powerful response in words.

"Our Hundred-Man Mage Group of Taylorsi will participate in the war and provide magical assistance, and will be accompanied by 10,000 magic warriors." Muslim said slowly.

It seems that the number of Taylorsi's people is far less, but a spellcasting group of just a hundred people is more valuable than the 150,000 people of the Sith Kingdom.

You know, all of Derby's court wizards are only about forty or fifty, and there are only two or three of them in Highcliff Castle until now.

"Debe will have four legions totaling 200,000 men participating in the war, 10,000 fighting knights, and..." Prince Luofu looked around, seeing the expectant eyes of Taylor and the Sith envoys, and smiled as he completely confirmed one thing.

"Lord of Highcliff Castle, the only dragon knight in the world, Lord Duke Levi will come to the battlefield in person to provide you with military assistance!"

The envoys present cheered, their excitement was obvious, the Dragon Knight was their strongest and most powerful support!
