Throne of the North

At the same time, in another county in Beifeng Province, Longshan County.

Among the seven counties in Beifeng Province, Longshan County is the territory of Earl Sauron. Except for the Earl, all the remaining nobles are the nobles who followed Earl Sauron back then, so there has never been anything like Lingdu County. contradiction.

Most of the chaos in Beifeng Province has been resolved through political means within Longshan County, so for the nobles here, they have been watching the show for a long time.

But what happened in Lingdu County recently made them confused.

"Lord of the Tundra Territory, that Baron Lane actually won all the wars, including the two viscount families, and became his defeated generals?"

"How is this possible? I still know about that crappy place in the Tundra Territory."

Some nobles were shocked, while others were silent and focused on another matter.

Miraculously, the death of Viscount Dragon caused an earthquake, but after all, Viscount Miles who killed him also died. Therefore, among these nobles, the death of Ellis Dragon was even more important than that of the Viscount. It's even more shocking in itself.

Because he was assassinated, Viscount Dragon could still clean up his act, saying that he was fighting Viscount Miles for the glory of the nobles. If the life-and-death confrontation between the two nobles was exaggerated, it might still be inspiring.

But the assassination of his eldest son cannot be justified.

And most importantly what? It was he who died at the hands of assassins. Those assassins used exactly the same methods as the assassins who caused a large number of deaths of dragon-blooded warriors and the fall of the flying wolf cavalry during the orc war.

What is the most powerful heritage of Earl Sauron's family? Isn't it the Dragon Blood Cavalry?

"Is there really an extraordinary assassin army in the hands of Count Weiss? Can even nobles be assassinated?"

Their eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the earldom. The old earl had recently begun training.

This is the case among the nobles in the north. Only when a war is about to come, they will train troops on a large scale, because this can ensure that food consumption is within an acceptable range.

Obviously, the actions of the earldom made everyone realize that war was coming.

People outside say that Earl Sauron is old and not as arrogant as he once was, but these old subordinates who have followed the Earl for many years know this very well.

He is a dragon-blooded warrior. He looks old but is actually very young. He can easily live another hundred and eighty years.

The old dragon was just taking a nap. He was once the commander of the count's army in blood and fire, and he made countless enemies frightened.

Longshan County City is a city built on the mountain. A small part of it is in the mountain. It is also a fortress. It once resisted the dragon. Traces of the dragon's rampage can still be seen in many places today.

This is the fiefdom of Earl Sauron, which means that no matter what, Earl Sauron's family will have the right to rule this city.

At this moment, Count Sauron woke up from his deep sleep, looking at the soldiers reporting below with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, the news has been confirmed to be true. Ellis Dragon was indeed killed by an assassin, and the assassin came from Count Weiss."

After hearing the news, Count Sauron was silent for a long time, then squinted his eyes and looked at the sky outside and said:

"This winter will probably be colder than before."

"Write a letter to Love and ask him if he wants to start a war."

…

A few days later, the Tundra Territory welcomed a guest.

A big shot from the Earldom of Winter, Countess Alevia Birdway is a woman with a charming appearance and a proud figure. At the same time, she is also the only recorded woman in the North Wind Province. The Holy Domain Mage.

The Earl and Countess of Winter, a Holy Domain Knight and a Holy Domain Mage, the existence of the two Holy Domains allowed the Earl family to securely occupy the position of Governor of the North Wind Province.

Ryan was a little surprised. Although this countess did not like to go out like other noble ladies, she actually came to the Tundra Territory in person.

Countess Winter was quite surprised when she saw the development of the Tundra Territory.

"You can actually develop this place like this."

The countess's surprise was not false. When she was looking for magic materials in the north, she had rested in the then-unowned castle on Rhinohorn Mountain. The castle at that time was exactly as Ryan first arrived, with only three or five houses.

"Thank you Countess Winter for the compliment. I wonder why Countess Winter came to the Tundra Territory?"

As a nobleman, regardless of the gap in title and strength, Ryan was neither humble nor arrogant and asked directly.

The Countess looked at Ryan and said:

"I am here on behalf of the Earl Winter family to give the Baron of the Tundra Territory a gift."

"Ryan, you are the child of Earl Clayton. When you come to the territory of the North Wind Province, we should give you a gift as a matter of course."

After saying that, he directed his servants to place boxes of gold coins in front of Ryan, a total of 20,000 gold coins. It could be seen that Earl Winter was indeed very generous.

It's just that Ryan complained in his heart that the gift would be delivered sooner rather than later, but it happened to be delivered at this time.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"The generosity of the Earl family will even move the gods."

Ryan accepted the gift, but the countess had no intention of leaving. After walking in the tundra territory for more than an hour, she returned to the castle on Rhinohorn Mountain and finally talked to Ryan about business.

"Back then, we were friends with your father, Ryan. We are very happy to see you develop your own territory in the North Wind Province."

"However, under the Lordship system, the entire North Wind Province has been in war because of land. As a noble, we don't want war to happen."

The Countess spoke, but Ryan did not respond. Instead, he said:

"As far as I know, the North Wind Province has stabilized. Have the land disputes in several counties ended?"

Indeed, just like Baron Ryan defeated all the nobles in Lingdu County, some of the other counties were not suspenseful, and some were suppressed by several viscounts. Almost every one of the seven counties in the North Wind Province has entered a vacuum period of war.

The reason why it is almost is that in Hanshan County, the county that was ravaged the most, it is still unclear where it belongs to whom.

"Is the war over?"

The countess shook her head and looked at Ryan and said:

"The war is about to begin, Ryan, the North Wind Province is not peaceful. Earl Weiss betrayed the honor of the nobility and assassinated a noble heir. This is an act despised by all the nobles of the empire. At the same time, he will be punished by the Senate."

Ryan deliberately showed puzzlement and said:

"In this case, let's wait for the Senate to take action. I think the legions in the Wing Canyon are very happy to plunder Earl Weiss's wealth."

Alevia shook her head and looked at Ryan with an innocent expression in front of her, and no longer beat around the bush.

"The North Wind Province will not allow the legions of the Wing Canyon to appear. Similarly, the Empire's Senate will not punish Earl Weiss."

"Ryan, you must know that the North Wind Province has been abandoned by the Empire, and the people here are no longer recognized by the people in the South."

"This war can only end between us."

Ryan knew in his heart that Earl Winter did not want to give up many interests, and even wanted to monopolize the wealth of Earl Weiss's family.

Even if he could take the entire North Wind Province's wealth, Count Winter might become a legend, and the Count's family might become the fifth powerful duke of the empire.

He is also ambitious.
