Chapter 191 A Painful Victory

Isidore died, and he died by resisting the breath of the Emerald Dragon head-on.

He could have avoided it, but he chose to use his breath and body to fight to the end until he died.

Frederick also died, but his death was very valuable. The last blow he threw successfully left a shallow scar on Alvis' body.

Alvis was just careless, and his mind was full of thoughts to get rid of the guy in front of him as soon as possible, but the black copper dragon Isidore burned everything he had and withstood the breath of the Emerald Dragon.

By the time Isidore died, the dragon knights of the Mountain Copper Kingdom had already fled the battlefield.

This time, the battle of the Emerald Valley was the final victory of the Emerald Kingdom.

Having said that, this war also brought huge losses to the Emerald Kingdom.

Economic losses, population losses, and military power losses.

Judging whether a country is strong is not just about the number of dragon knights. The population base determines the grassroots construction of the kingdom, the military power determines the number of dragon knights in the future, and the economy is the guarantee of the kingdom's strength.

Why does the Emerald Kingdom rarely launch foreign invasion wars?

It is because they have made a lot of money through trade, and there is no need to accumulate wealth through war.

However, this situation has caused the army of the Emerald Kingdom to lack practical experience and training, and even the new generation of promoted dragon knights has been affected by this.

"Edwin Bronze Fury, you actually colluded with the Mountain Copper Kingdom to attempt treason, and also passed false information to deceive Veronica to join the war, and made wrong decisions before the first battle, resulting in heavy casualties of a large number of knights in our country!

Look at these crimes! It is simply too numerous to list! Edwin, do you know your crime?"

Since he couldn't catch up with the dragon knight team of the Mountain Copper Kingdom, he simply didn't chase them. The death of a black copper dragon and a dragon knight was a big loss for the Mountain Copper Kingdom with only seven dragon knights.

He glanced at Bellon, who was watching the battle next to him and had no intention of chasing, and a haze surged in his heart.

As if noticing Alvis's sight, Belron sat on the Magic Ruby Dragon and smiled heartily:

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty Alvis, congratulations on your victory. If there is nothing you need me for, I will go back. Flame City still needs me to stay."

When Alvis heard Belron's voice, a warm smile appeared on his face again, and he said:

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty Belron. Although I really want to keep you in the Jade Valley, the Jade Valley is now in tatters after the brutal war. If I have the chance later, I will visit Flame City in person."

Alvis's sincerity was very strong. He thanked Belron for what he did from the perspective of a savior.

But Belron was not a young man who would be fooled and lost his way.

"Your Majesty Alvis, don't forget the reward you promised me."

After that, Belron drove the Magic Ruby Dragon to leave the Jade Valley and flew towards the direction of the Blazing Steel Kingdom.

Alvis watched Belron's back as he left, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.

But his strong self-control made him calm down quickly, and he said the punishment for Edwin Bronze Wrath.

"Edwin Bronze Wrath, deprive him of his duke title and demote him to marquis, and divide half of his original territory to settle the nobles of the northwest land."

Originally, Edwin's dukedom was about 12,000 square kilometers, and it monopolized all the land trade between the Emerald Kingdom and the Golden Grand Duchy. It was definitely worth every inch of land.

Although Edwin was old, he was a dragon knight who had just been promoted in recent years.

So strictly speaking, he still belongs to the new generation of dragon knights, and he is far less profound than the old generation of dragon knights. He just relies on the output of the territory and trade dividends to survive.

This made Edwin spit out half of it at once, which was no different from asking for his life.

"As you command... Your Majesty."

Edwin suppressed his heartache and obeyed Alvis's order. He could accept such a punishment of being demoted and deprived of wealth. After all, he committed a felony of treason, and being able to save his life was already a pleasant surprise.

It's just that Alvis was more heartbroken than him.

In order to persuade Belron Red Tulip to go to the Emerald Valley to ambush Harold, he promised to divide the territory of the Mountain Copper Kingdom in half after conquering it.

But although the Mountain Copper Kingdom was defeated, its overall strength was still intact. There were still five ordinary dragon knights and one Mountain Copper Dragon Knight in the country.

Looking at Belron's look, it was known that he would never contribute in the subsequent counterattack war, so Alvis could only attack the Mountain Copper Kingdom by himself.

It can only be said that the probability of success is not very high.

Even if the Mountain Copper Dragon was seriously injured, he didn't want to run out of the Emerald Valley to fight it head-on.

Alvis had to admit that without the blessing of the home field, it was difficult for the Emerald Dragon to gain an advantage in the head-on battle, and it could only rely on the power of life to fight a war of attrition with the Mountain Copper Dragon.

At that time, with the national strength of the Emerald Kingdom, it might be directly pushed by the Mountain Copper Kingdom and directly carry out the second defense of the Emerald Valley. At that time, there would be no help from the magic ruby ​​dragon.

The only thing Alvis could do was to take back the lost land in the northwest of the Emerald Kingdom, and according to the conditions he promised to Baeron, half of this large lost land had to be divided and handed over to the Blazing Steel Kingdom.

This part is about 5,000 square kilometers, nearly half the size of a duchy.

This is why Alvis deprived Edwin of his title and fiefdom.

He needed to use half of Edwin's duchy to settle refugees and nobles.

Speaking of this, we can't help but mention the general territory of the Emerald Kingdom.

The central area of ​​the kingdom is the royal fiefdom centered on the Emerald Valley, which has been the sacred and inviolable territory of the Emerald King since ancient times.

The northern area is the duchy of Phoenix Mori Green, which is mainly responsible for trade and diplomacy with the Blazing Steel Kingdom.

The southern area is the duchy of Edwin Bronze Fury, but now it has been split into marquisates and many new territories of different sizes.

The western area is the duchy of Liam Gray Iron, which is also the area that suffered the most in this war.

As for the eastern area, it was originally the duchy prepared by Alvis for his sister.

However, because his sister did not like the political struggles in the Emerald Kingdom, he gave the southern wasteland that was not included in the kingdom's territory to Veronica and supported her in establishing the Grand Duchy.
