Chapter 53: Invasion of the Invisible Dragon

The weather was hot and dry in the first half of June.

The sunrise was the end of coolness and the beginning of a scorching day.

Liszt was wearing black leather armor and carrying his Red Blood Sword. His sapphire eyes were glittering, and his face was solemn.

Goltai, who had come to the castle early, was dazzled by the Lord of Flower Town for a moment. Even the Earl of Coral Island was not as attractive as Liszt right now.

Every time Liszt looked at himself in the mirror, he always felt great.

Thomas flattened the wrinkles on Liszt’s armor carefully. It was his responsibility as the valet.

“Mr. Goltai, according to plan, the farmers in the Cow Farm will be relocated to other villages. No residents are allowed to leave their homes for any reason. The patrolmen will stop patrolling until further instruction.”

“Understood, Liszt. I’ll give the orders.”

Goltai left on his horse.

Everybody was baffled by the lord’s decision, but they had long forgotten resistance. The whole Flower Town fell quiet after the order was given.

It was as silent as night. Barks could be heard occasionally.

Few people could afford a dog, so the noise was unimportant.

The sun was still rising on the east. Liszt put a bit on his horse to prevent it from making any sound. “Mr. Carter, do you remember what I said?”

“My lord, you said that the castle must be closed today. Should anything dangerous happen, all the servants are to hide in the cellar. The castle will not resume regular work until you’re back.”

“Very good. That’s all.”

Carter was quite worried. “My lord, is your trip dangerous?”

“A little bit, but I’ve been fully prepared. No need to worry about me, Mr. Carter.”

Thomas, after hesitation, ventured, “My lord, you should bring me. I don’t have many abilities, but I can buy more time for you in emergencies.”

“I’m glad to hear that, Thomas, but it’s unnecessary.” Liszt cracked his whip, and Fire Dragon lunged forward.

Sand was raised as the horse rushed ahead.

He saw nobody in the town. They had apparently received the order to stay at home.

In excitement, he rode to the Cow Farm. He then put on a mask, climbed the tower, and set the fire. He planned to ask a servant to light the grass, but in case of information leakage, he decided to do it himself.

There were two tanks on the tower. They were full of the smoking grass juice.

Looking around, Liszt opened the tanks and poured the juice upon the two old cows down below.

The stinky smell immediately spread.

The two cows wriggled crazily to try and flee, but held by the ropes, they could only tolerate it impatiently.

Liszt almost threw up despite the mask, but he held back his nausea and set the smoking grass on the tower on fire.

After the fire rose, he jumped off on Fire Dragon, who was also agitated, before he rode on to the thorns.
