Chapter 0954: Laughing Like a 200-Pound Fatty (Second Update)

```

The grand Pioneer Mandate war finally kicked off in early October. The vast majority of the Duchy of Sapphire's fleet had assembled, carrying a large number of knights from Iron Hoof City on Iron Hoof Island, charging towards the coastal hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom.

There had been no deliberate selection of the timing or location for battle.

Liszt simply felt that the coastal hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom was a well-populated and wealthy area, and so he directed his battles there.

With the Sapphire Dragon leading the charge, there was simply no chance of resistance; any castles that dared to resist would be destroyed, and the knights of the Eagle Kingdom would still be captured. Many noble landlords seemed to have understood their fate, especially the smaller ones, choosing to open their gates and surrender without a fight.
