Throne of the North

Ryan's expression was troubled.

"As you can see, Countess Winter, my territory does not have the strength for an expedition. Of course, I, Ryan, still hate Earl Weiss' behavior. I am willing to support Earl Winter with 20,000 gold coins."

"Baron Lane is humble."

Alivia said, and inadvertently, the air around her froze.

"Lingdu County, as one of the seven counties in Beifeng Province, has potential that none of us can imagine. I believe that Lingdu County can have a powerful army in the hands of Baron Lane."

"When the war breaks out..."

Just as Alivia was speaking, her eyes suddenly turned to the distance. Ryan didn't know what he saw. He could only see the Countess who came back with a look of shock, mixed with incomprehensible emotions.

After a long time, the countess came to her senses and said apologetically:

"Baron Lane, regarding the matter between Count Weiss, I believe that you will always stand on the side of the imperial nobles, and the Winter family will deepen communication with you in the future."

After saying that, the countess left without looking back.

She left in a hurry, and Ryan could see clearly that the moment she left Rhinohorn Mountain, the countess disappeared and had no intention of going back with her attendants.

"What a terrifying power."

Behind Ryan, the voice of Master Luna came. The tall golem was trembling a little at this moment. She stared at the direction where the countess disappeared, showing longing eyes.

"She almost found me."

"The most powerful space mage among magicians."

As powerful as Mage Luna, in this short period of one or two hours, she could only hide in a rockery somewhere in the castle, daring not to move, for fear that if she was exposed, she would become the opponent's experimental material. As a mage, she still knew own value at this moment.

"A space magician? Earl Winter is really lucky."

Ryan understood, no wonder the other party disappeared so easily.

"However, it seems that something went wrong with Earl Winter, so the countess left in such a hurry."

Three days later.

Ryan learned about a major event that happened in Beifeng Province that shocked everyone.

Three days ago, that is, the time when the Countess appeared in the Tundra Territory, Earl Winter went to the highest mountain in Leiyun County and the residence of Earl Weiss alone. As a result, the most powerful knight in the Northwind Province unexpectedly Got hurt.

According to the rumors among the nobles of Leiyun County, if it were not for the solidified space spell on the Earl Knight's armor, he would probably die in the Earl of Weiss.

And the one who caused all this was a giant, a thunder giant.

Hearing the name of the giant, all the nobles in the North Wind Province would have gloomy eyes.

In the dead silence of winter caused by the Pandimensional War of Gods, it was not only humans who fled south to enter the warm land, but also many alien races.

Giants were once the craziest type. In the war a hundred years ago, more than half of the extraordinary legions of the empire died in the war with giants.

Although some extraordinary legions became famous in the mainland because of this, no nobles would forget those great nobles who collapsed in front of the giant.

From that time on, the power of the extraordinary legions was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and at the same time, so was the terror of the giants.

The most powerful extraordinary legion is equal to a giant.

The appearance of a thunder giant in Leiyun County was enough for Count Weiss to be called the most powerful nobleman in the North Wind Province.

He used to be the only nobleman among the three counts who did not have a supernatural legion, but it is different now.

"There are also differences between giants, but the Thunder Giant can also be said to have the most powerful blood. When this kind of giant reaches adulthood, it will have a power comparable to legend..."

Ryan had a toothache. In an instant, Beifeng Province had an extra legendary combat power. How could anyone play with it.

As we all know, there is a gap between legends. Strong legends can even easily enslave weak legends. However, legends and legends are two different species.

"Count Weiss was able to hide a giant."

Ryan was a little curious, where did the other party find the Thunder Giant, or... he thought of the barbarians in the previous war.

In addition to the Thunder Giants, Count Weiss also has extraordinary legions in his hands, and there will definitely be no shortage of barbarian warriors under his hands.

However, although this news could change the ecology of the entire Beifeng Province, Ryan was not too panicked.

Earl Winter may not have the means to directly fight against the legends, but as a count family and a nobleman, he, the governor of Northwind Province, can find a way to borrow many of the forces in the empire that can fight against the legends.

Even if you don't consider these things, the countess is a holy mage and controls space magic.

As the most powerful transcendent among many supernatural systems, the magician gave the countess the opportunity and time to be fully capable of killing the legend.

The confrontation between high-end forces is not as absolute as imagined, and both sides are nobles, nobles of the empire. It is even possible that the war will not reach that point.

Of course, the premise of all this is that... Count Weiss or Earl Winter's ambitions are not that extreme.

Not extreme? The day after learning about the Thunder Giants, Ryan got the news again.

Earl Weiss's army broke into Yinchuan County.

As the governor of the richest county in Beifeng Province, Viscount Hogg severely condemned the behavior of Count Weiss, and the army set out to block Count Weiss's army.

Previously, the wars between counties were land disputes under the lord system, but now, the wars between counties are the ambitions of Count Weiss.

The nobles of Beifeng County and another Tieshan County, which are close to Yinchuan County, sent their troops to Yinchuan County, led by Count Winter, to help Viscount Hogg's army resist the invasion of Count Weiss.

Then five or six days later, the result that no one expected appeared.

Viscount Hogg's army and Count Weiss's army launched an attack on the reinforcements on the battlefield at the same time. The nobles of Tieshan County suffered heavy losses. The army, which had been sharply reduced due to the land war, was completely crippled. Beifeng County, including Count Winter's Flying Wolf Knight Corps, also suffered tragic losses again, with more than 300 Flying Wolf Cavalry killed.

"The two of them have already colluded."

"But it's not that hard to understand. If Earl Weiss wants to occupy the entire North Wind Province, he must guard against the regular imperial army in the Wing Canyon. Yinchuan County is the only passage to enter the North Wind Province..."

Ryan looked at the news in the letter with astonishment. This came from a baron noble in Leiyun County. The circle of nobles is not as large as imagined. Many nobles in the North Wind Province have marriage relations, such as the sister of Baron Marsh, Baroness Kendra.

Nobles will pass messages to each other, but when they arrive in Lingdu County, they will of course appear in front of Ryan.

It is not ruled out that someone is concealing it, but the nobles of Lingdu County now also feel the pressure of the North Wind Province through letters. They now need Ryan's military talents.

The cohesion is naturally improved.

"Now, it depends on Earl Winter's methods. This governor didn't want to take any responsibility when the orcs went south, but now Earl Weiss is affecting the governor's direct power."

"If we win, it's not impossible for the North Wind Province to replace a governor on its own."
