Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 349 - 220: Shocking the Tulip Kingdom, Family Development

"I lost!"

Zaparov Spencer’s expression shifted constantly until he finally closed his eyes and spoke in a melancholy voice.

"Lord Zaparov, please rest well at our Dressrosa Castle during this period!"

"I believe the Spencer Family should provide me with a satisfactory response."

"By the way, due to our battle, Dressrosa Town was also damaged. Ten thousand gold coins are not enough compensation; twenty thousand gold coins."

"A total of fifty thousand gold coins, and additionally a share of the Spencer Family’s green salt business should not be an issue."

Count Engel drew out his Knight’s Long Lance, speaking with a light chuckle.

"Impossible!"

Zaparov Spencer, who had been closing his eyes in pain, suddenly opened them wide at Count Engel’s words, a trace of anger in his expression.

Fifty thousand gold coins.

He could accept that.

As the defeated, he naturally needed to offer compensation, even if fifty thousand gold coins would almost drain ten years of the Spencer Family’s savings, he acknowledged that.

However, he did not expect that the Dressrosa Family wanted not only gold coins, but also aimed for the green salt business.

As a powerful Marquis Family, they generally had independent industries.

Green salt was an exclusive industry of the Spencer Family. Since the Tulip Kingdom was not coastal, salt came annually from various well salt and lake salt sources. There was a Qinghai Lake near their Xiyue Province close to the Frost Moon Province, producing lake salt that brought over thirty thousand gold coins of revenue annually to their family.

This business, even the other two Marquis Families in the Xiyue Province could not meddle in.

"Lord Zaparov, this is not up to you. I believe Marquis Spencer will make the right choice."

In the face of Zaparov Spencer’s anger, Count Engel was extremely casual.

He had long set his sights on that Qinghai Lake.

Even if the Spencer Family did not act, his next expansion would be there.

Since advancing to Sky Knight, he needed to amass enough merit points by expanding his family’s power, and more industries and gold coins were indispensable.

That Qinghai Lake was less than fifty miles from the Dressrosa Territory, and under such circumstances, acquiring ownership of it was undoubtedly the best choice.

He just hadn’t figured out how to act when the Spencer Family delivered themselves to him voluntarily.

With Zaparov Spencer being the only Sky Knight in the Spencer Family, they would undoubtedly know what choice to make to redeem him.

After all, a Sky Knight and an Earth Knight are not the same.

As a Count’s Clan, their family could ensure the continual emergence of Earth Knights, but even a powerful Marquis Family could not guarantee continuous Sky Knights.

Losing a Sky Knight almost equates to the Spencer Family exiting the upcoming Kingdom War prematurely.

Never mind gaining anything, even maintaining the current power of a strong Marquis Family would be uncertain.

"You!"

Zaparov Spencer’s expression changed in an instant, instinctively wanting to speak, but at that moment Count Engel no longer paid him any mind.

His figure stepped forward.

The Knight Order that had long since arrived quickly subdued Zaparov Spencer.

However, this scene happened to reflect into the eyes of those who had just arrived at the Knight Order in Dressrosa Town.

"This!"

Someone instinctively spoke, but at this moment, they too did not know what to say.

What was Zaparov’s existence? A Sky Knight of the powerful Spencer Family, rumored to have entered the Mid-stage Sky Knight, and yet at this moment, was so easily crushed by Count Engel.

The massive crater, and the figure within it being controlled, shocked them no less than Count Engel’s display of Sky Knight cultivation.

"Gulp!"

For a long while in the Pat Knight Order, a figure couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Quick, Mike, return to Pat City immediately to inform the Marquis!"

Suddenly, this figure seemed to have thought of something, urgently speaking.

"Yes!"

A knight responded swiftly, then rapidly headed back from where they came with his men.

And at this moment, the other knight orders also realized the situation.

These people, in almost identical fashion, made the same choice.

One by one, they returned.

It can be expected that it won’t be long.

This news will shake the entire Kingdom.

The emergence of a Sky Knight has a significant impact on the Kingdom.

Enough to cause tremendous upheaval.

The changes it represents for the entire Frost Moon Province are profoundly significant.

This marks the rise of a powerful Marquis Family.

The Dressrosa Family can no longer be viewed as merely a Count’s Clan.

After dispatching their messengers to inform the family swiftly,

these Knight Orders proceeded rapidly towards Count Engel’s location.

In no time, they arrived in Dressrosa Town.

At this moment, they could see more clearly the immense crater, and every person who passed by couldn’t help but experience a surge of adrenaline.

Especially for the Pat Family’s Knight Order.

Their anxiety was extreme at this moment.

Engel’s breakthrough in the Frost Moon Province undeniably shattered the entire provincial situation.
