The Steel Ridge Kingdom is the most powerful among the three kingdoms in the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent. According to the data provided by the Sapphire Duke, it possesses 11 dragons, of which there are 7 Dragon Knights.
Among its seven vassal states, there are 4 more Dragon Knights—not counting the Dragon Knight of the Duchy of Sapphire, who is the duke himself, but not counting Liszt and the Little Fire Dragon Leo either.
The Eagle Kingdom has 9 dragons, among which 6 are Dragon Knights. They have now lost a dragon and had one Dragon Knight killed. However, no one is yet aware that the Eagle Kingdom has lost one of its dragons… and in its five vassal states, there are 2 Dragon Knights.
The other kingdom, Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom, has 8 dragons and 5 Dragon Knights, while its four vassals have only one Dragon Knight.
