Order the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and put all the spoils and prisoners into the cabin.
The elves that could not be found on the Second Daughter Island were also found in "Yan's" package.
A Black Feather Grass Elf, a Pea Elf, an Oak Elf, and a Black Feather Grass Elf.
The Cordyceps along with these elves were also pulled up by the roots and placed in the jade box.
The Black Feather Grass Elf is a little guy with black hair and a round face. The wings behind him are more like butterfly wings. He looks very cute. Overall, he looks about the size of Kroeber's palm.
Unlike the elf bugs that are still in the pupa state, the elves have human form after evolution and have a fairly high level of intelligence.
When elves are born, they are divided into two parts. Cordyceps is like their root, responsible for absorbing nutrients to strengthen the elves, and at the same time increasing the yield of similar crops around them with Cordyceps as the center.
The "true body" is the elf worm itself. After they evolved from ordinary plants, most of their magic power was used to form an appearance similar to silkworms or other soft-footed insects.
Cordyceps can be damaged, and the Golden Duchy has many ways to replenish the vitality of the elves so that they can grow new Cordyceps.
But the main body must not be destroyed. Once it is destroyed, it means the death of the elf.
Therefore, most nobles would keep the main body of the Cordyceps in the castle and have it cared for by special personnel, and Cordyceps would usually be placed outside to increase crop yields.
Since the contracted masters of the elf bugs have died, they look quite weak. Krober can only wait until they are in better condition before considering the contract, otherwise forcing the contract may cause greater harm.
However, the condition of the Black Feather Grass Elf is still good enough to sign a contract with Krober.
Krober squeezed a drop of blood from his finger and dripped it onto the black feather grass elf.
In an instant, a feeling of blood connection came from the black feather grass elf.
The black feather grass elf seemed to have sensed the formation of the contract and woke up from its sleep.
"Quack?"
A questioning cry came out of its mouth, and looking at the stranger in front of it, the black feather grass elf felt a little scared.
But the blood connection felt from Krober cannot be faked, and this is the bridge that ensures trust between the two sides.
"Quack!"
A little elf has human form but cannot speak. Only when it becomes a great elf can it speak human language and even use magic.
Kroeber touched the black feather grass elf's head with his fingers, enjoying the smooth feeling while saying:
"You are my first Pokémon, so let's call you Vera. When we get to Black Feather Island, I will take care of you and your Cordyceps. Then you can recover faster."
The elf couldn't understand human language, but it could understand Krober's thoughts from the mental contract. It nodded happily, rubbed Krober with its little face, and then went back to the jade box to continue sleeping.
Feeling the blood-connected aura coming from the box, Krober smiled contentedly.
This is an elf. Strictly speaking, elves are the basis of national rule. Without food, people cannot survive at all. Therefore, elves who can greatly increase food production are so precious.
When the ship originally arrived, it was empty, but after fighting a battle, it returned fully loaded.
Kroeber planned to take this shipload of captives back to the Second Daughter Island first. After settling them, he would arrange for the soldiers and Foster to garrison on the Second Daughter Island to prevent any resistance from these captives.
Then he returned to St. King's Castle with a few soldiers and reported the progress of the mission to the Grand Duke.
Krober did not intend to destroy the leader of the great knight force. He lacked the foundation now, and conquering new islands also required the leadership of local people.
It would be best if he could get help from "Yan".
You said there's a chance of failure?
I can only say that it is possible, but as long as one is a human being, there will be desires, and with desires, there will be opportunities.
"Yan" must have his own reasons for bringing people out to plunder. If life were rich, no one would be willing to go out to sea to plunder.
He could gradually control them through trade, let these natives know what economic warfare was, and then successfully seize the island.
Just when Krober and his party returned to the Second Daughter Island, an unexpected guest appeared before him.
"Captain Odyssey? Why are you here?"
The person who came was Odysseus, the leader of the Dragon Breath Knights and the nominal leader of Krober.
Odysseus twitched his lips after hearing what Krober said. He also wanted to know how a dignified Sky Knight like him could end up in this place. It was because of the Grand Duke for you, a pretty boy.
"The Grand Duke has ordered that once you have wiped out the pirates, you will not need to return to Saint Gold Castle. I will deliver the reward for this mission to you on behalf of the Grand Duke."
After saying this, Odysseus took out a piece of exquisitely crafted paper from his arms and read the orders written on it.
"The Imperial Herald, Dragon Breath Knight Krober Golden Rose, is loyal, upright, and exceptionally capable."
"For his outstanding performance in suppressing pirates and maintaining the principality's ruling status and authority.
By divine and ancient right, I bestow upon Krober Golden Rose the title of Baron, and grant him the fiefdom of 50 square kilometers of Black Feather Island and its surrounding seas."
"Allow them to have the right to name the island, to create a new family, to use a new surname, and to retain their positions as Imperial Herald and Dragon Breath Knight."
He read out the order in his hand in a fluent manner and handed it to Krober.
"Congratulations, Baron Krober. Regarding the naming of Black Feather Island and your surname, the Grand Duke advises that you change it as soon as possible. After all, you are already a baron under the Grand Duke..."
After saying this, without waiting for Krober's reply, Odyssey turned around and flew towards the Saint Gold Castle.
"Forehead……"
Looking at Odyssey going away, Krober didn't know what to say.
Meanwhile, Haier on the side congratulated:
"Congratulations, Baron! Not only did you successfully complete your mission, seizing elves and a large amount of wealth, but you also received the title of baron. It's truly a triple blessing!"
Haier was also startled by this sudden "guest". That was the Sky Knight, a powerful man who could be counted on the fingers of one hand in the entire principality. He did not expect that this time he came just to deliver a message to his master.
Thinking of this, the idea in Haier's heart became more intense...
