From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

(This book has participated in the Tomato Dance Full Power Summer Group Cloud Rhapsody event)

After more than a month of long journeys and camping in the open air.

Krober and his team finally arrived in the northeast of the principality, and the first stop was the Alfalfa family.

The Alfalfa family is one of the many baron families loyal to the Marquis of Green Feather Grass, and their family's main industry is horse breeding.

Since this family has been raising horses for generations, they are naturally experienced and skilled in how to raise horses.

And their family name "Alfalfa" is actually a kind of high-quality grass specially used for feeding horses.

Relying on the horse breeding skills inherited from the family and years of hard work, the Alfalfa family has made a fortune in recent years.

Its overall strength has also been greatly improved.

The entire family currently has five official knights, and it is rumored that one of them is about to break through to the realm of the Great Knight.

Arriving at the destination, the magnificent castle of the Alfalfa family came into view.

The one who came to greet Krober was the Knight Watava Alfalfa, who had led the team to Qingyu City to deliver the letter.

Compared with before, he seemed much calmer and calmer at this moment, and he was no longer as impatient as before.

After learning that Krober was about to send the letter, he arranged everything in the castle in an orderly and meticulous manner.

Since Krober intended to collect intelligence secretly this time, he did not make a big fuss.

Before arriving at the destination, Krober decided to send Will as a messenger to send a message to the Alfalfa family in advance.

After seeing Krober's handwritten letter and the familiar golden dragon head emblem, Sir Watava hurriedly asked Will, who was delivering the letter, how he needed to help them.

After learning that Krober was worried that there might be pirate spies around the castle, Sir Watava came up with a good idea.

————

"Let me hide in the hay cart and enter the castle?"

After hearing the idea proposed by Sir Watava, Krober, who was camping in the jungle, nodded in agreement.

To be honest, this idea is really good.

First of all, the location of the castle of the Alfalfa family is here.

At the beginning of construction, the factor of convenient care of horses was fully considered, so a location far away from the town was specially chosen to build the castle, so that confidentiality was well guaranteed.

Unlike the previous lakeside city, which was simply a wall with wind everywhere, the people coming in and out of the castle every day and the various big and small things that happened were no longer secrets.

In addition, in order to feed the horses the freshest food every day, the servants would drive the carriage out to harvest hay every morning.

This shows that transporting hay has become a habit. Even if there are pirate spies around, they would never think that they would hide in the hay.

Accompanied by the afterglow of the sunset, Krober hid in the hay cart and slowly "lay" into the castle of Alfalfa.

Sir Votava warmly welcomed Kroeber and told him all the information he knew in detail.

The general situation is as follows.

First is the Three Daughters Islands.

The Three Daughters Islands are composed of three small islands, namely the Big Daughter Island, the Second Daughter Island and the Little Sister Island.

As a gathering place for local pirates in the Principality, the Three Daughters Islands have never been taken seriously by the nobles.

They think that these guys are just a mob of refugees and deserters.

Even if they go out to sea to rob, they only pick some small merchant ships and dare not even look at the nobles' fleet.

The Three Daughters Islands have a harsh environment, with reefs everywhere and natural caves of various sizes inside. It is said that the nobles who discovered the three islands at the beginning confirmed that there were no resources on the island itself except stones after a comprehensive inspection.

There was no use value, so the island was sold cheaply to the Grand Duke by the explorer, and the Grand Duke did not divide them out after owning the islands.

In this way, this deserted island has been left here, and no one cares about it.

No one knows when, a group of homeless pirates discovered these three islands by chance.

They didn't care whether there was any so-called value here, and they settled down here directly.

They used various materials obtained from the robbery to carefully decorate these three rocky and reef-covered islands. From a distance, this place actually presented a somewhat decent settlement.

As time went by, this pirate settlement gradually became famous, attracting more and more pirates to settle here.

Perhaps it was because the increase in the number of people made them more courageous, or it might be that robbing small merchant ships could not support so many pirates on the island.

So this group of pirates began to cast their greedy eyes on the trade fleets of those nobles.

At first, this group of pirates did take advantage of the nobles' carelessness and successfully attacked several fleets.

However, the good times did not last long. When the nobles realized the danger, they quickly strengthened the security forces.

Since then, the success rate of the pirates' attacks has dropped sharply.

Originally everyone thought that things would continue like this, but unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred.

A group of pirates from the Emerald Kingdom actually passed through the Hurricane Strait and came to the Golden Grand Duchy. They also went straight to the Three Daughters Islands with a purpose, and completely integrated there with their strong strength.

In this way, this group of powerful pirates began to do evil on the sea, and they almost robbed all the ships that appeared on the sea.

This aroused the anger of the coastal nobles.

So they united, contributed money and people, and formed a coalition to attack the mainland of the Three Daughters Islands.

The strength of the pirates was beyond the expectations of the nobles. Not only did they have four formal-level combat forces, but the leader was actually a great knight-level combat force!

Dragon above! There are only three or four great knights among these barons, and the others are formal knights. How could this group of pirates who came from mud legs have great knight-level combat power?

It is worth mentioning that the title of formal knight is mainly used for nobles with such strength. They can be promoted from civilians or descendants of nobles, but not those damn bandits.

The nobles thought that using the same title to call bandits was an insult to them.

So they directly called the level of combat power. For example, if they were formal knights, they would be called formal-level combat power, and if they were great knights, they would be called great knight-level combat power.

Fortunately, they relied on their own strength to break through there and completely killed the leading great knight. Now his head is still hanging on the outer gate of Alfalfa Castle.

After this battle, the nobles believed that this group of pirates should not organize attacks that threaten them again, at least not in the short term.

So they continued to form fleets for maritime trade.

But since the attack on Black Feather Island, these coastal nobles have strengthened their guard forces to avoid suffering unnecessary losses.

As for why Black Feather Island was attacked and whether the attackers were pirates, there is no definite evidence. We can only see a little from the traces of fighting on Black Feather Island and the looted warehouse.

Sir Watava believes that the group of pirates who escaped have regrouped, and there may be another powerful pirate group that has sneaked through the Hurricane Strait.

Otherwise, how could they attack Black Feather Island? It is because Black Feather Island is the first island passed after passing through the Hurricane Strait.

Krober nodded. He thought that what Sir Watava said did make some sense, but the specific situation would have to wait until he went to Qingyu City to meet with Marquis Qingyu Cao before making plans.
