Krober took them with both hands, picked up one at random and began to read.
As the contents of the letter were read, Krober's brows furrowed.
"Black Feather Island was suddenly attacked by pirates? The baron was killed in battle, his family was wiped out, and even the people were taken away?"
He knew that Black Feather Island was an island located in the northeastern coastal area of the Golden Duchy. The territory originated from one of the small islands discovered during the maritime exploration movement twenty years ago.
It is said that it was a branch of the Qingyucao family who led a team to discover the then deserted Heiyu Island.
According to the laws of the time, the Grand Duke could grant anyone who discovered a new island during their exploration the right to become a noble and pledge allegiance to her.
So the Grand Duke accepted the loyalty of this collateral descendant and allowed him to create his own surname and have the right to name the island.
The descendant of the Qingyucao family named a black edible plant on the island as Black Feather Grass and used it as his surname. He also named the island after it, Black Feather Island.
Legally speaking, Black Feather Island is a territory directly under the Grand Duke and belongs to the royal domain. Now this group of pirates actually dared to run to Black Feather Island to massacre nobles and civilians. This is undoubtedly a provocation to the dignity of Grand Duke Veronica and the Grand Duchy of Gold.
"Sir Krober, my mission to you is to find those pirates and kill them all, leaving no one alive.
The entire Three Daughters Islands must be burned to the ground! Not a single drop of land can be left behind! I will make sure that this filthy land will never again support life!
Grand Duke Veronica spoke such terrifying words in a calm tone, which made Krober feel a little unfamiliar.
But he didn't think much about it. He believed that a ruler should have this side and fight back when provoked, otherwise where would be the dignity of the country.
"Unless you can't beat me."
Krober added silently in his heart.
"As you command, my lord. How many knights can I take with me on this operation?"
Krober doesn't know the strength of the pirates yet, but what is certain is that there must be people above the level of formal knights among the pirates, and there should be quite a few of them, at least three to five.
The Black Feather Grass family is a baron family after all. Although the strongest one is not a great knight, there are still three or four official knights. If the pirates want to win, they must either have a great knight or have a certain advantage in the number of official knights.
So Krober hopes that Grand Duke Veronica can give him the power of a knight team to help him.
Together with himself, two great knights and nine official knights, this force is enough to destroy this group of pirates.
But what Grand Duke Veronica said next left him dumbfounded.
"No, I will not give you command of the Dragon Breath Knights on this mission."
? ?
Kroeber was really confused.
"but……"
"If you can defeat these pirates for me this time, I will give you the land of Black Feather Island, allow you to have your own surname and the right to name the island, and grant you the title of baron."
As soon as these words came out, Krober's breathing suddenly became heavy.
