Throne of the North

Ryan watched the nobles reveal the exposed information, but his eyes fell on Yinchuan County.

That Viscount Hogg must have secretly supported Earl Weiss's large amount of food and wealth, which was the richest place in the Northwind Province.

Ryan knew beforehand how much food those barbarians consumed. Each barbarian ate at least seven or eight ordinary people's food every day.

What did Viscount Hogg gain from this? Lane got his answer on the third day.

There are only a thousand people, but each one is at least a trainee knight. This cavalry army already has the mold of an extraordinary army. The ambition of this viscount is also not small.

The key thing is that he actually owns so many war horses.

"It is said that Viscount Hogg has a close relationship with the royal family. Today's Viscountess is still the daughter of the royal family."

Ryan pondered, if that was the case, it would not be so strange. As a viscount, Viscount Hogg occupied the seat of Yinchuan County Sheriff.

"But speaking of it, in addition to the indigenous nobles here in Beifeng Province, other nobles are related to many nobles in the south. I don't know what the attitude of other nobles will be in this war."

The war in Northwind Province is about to break out, and Ryan is also feeling the pressure.

Among the seven counties in the province, Earl Weiss has the support of the nobles from Leiyun County and Yinchuan County on one side, and on the other side is Tieshan County, as well as the power of the three counties of Longshan County and Beifeng County where the two earls are located.

The only ones left are Hanshan County and Lingdu County.

After Hanshan County was brutally plundered by the orcs, most of the nobles died. Now they are trying their best to sell misfortune within the empire and between the Beifeng Province. There are many sympathizers. In order to show the kindness of the noble master, every noble he meets will have more Give as little as possible.

Then the only one left that can establish military strength is Lingdu County.

"You've been slow to give me any benefits, which makes it very difficult for me to handle."

Ryan stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Before he had a good bargain with the countess, she left. He was ready to open his mouth.

The envoy from the Governor seemed to have heard Ryan's call and arrived at the Tundra Territory that evening.

Taking off his hood, Lord Hora Winter, who came from the Earldom of Winter, was also a little shocked by the tundra territory that looked like a town, and then he was welcomed to the castle on Rhinohorn Mountain with a smile on his face.

"It is Tutu's honor for Lord Hora to come to Tundra Territory."

Ryan's words were very helpful to Lord Hora, and his eyes became kind when he looked at Ryan. For a sky knight, such a smiling look is indeed kind, right?

Of course Ryan knows this person, Hora Winter, the younger brother of Earl Winter, and also the twin star of the Winter family of their generation. He is now the deputy commander of the Airwolf Knights Legion, but in fact everything about the Extraordinary Legion is This one is in charge.

"Baron Lane, I am here on behalf of my lord, Earl Winter."

Lord Hora performed a noble etiquette on Ryan. After all, Ryan was a baron anyway, and he was a future lord who would only become a lord after the Divine Grace Festival.

The nobles used their great power to establish the nobility, and the nobles themselves followed ancient precepts.

Ryan nodded and said:

"I want to know your purpose of coming."

"Count Winter invites all nobles in Lingdu County to join in the fight against Earl Weiss's ambition to rule. Beifeng Province belongs to every noble, not just Earl Weiss."

Ryan looked at Lord Hora and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lord Hora, Lingdu County has been attacked by orcs. A lot of our wealth and food have been plundered. Our people don't even have a house that can withstand the cold. According to experienced old people, this winter may It will be extremely cold.”

"We have also experienced war. Our land needs to be reclaimed and our houses need to be rebuilt. As you can see, the nobles of Lingdu County do not want to start a war."

"For this reason, I am trying to find a way to refuse Earl Weiss's invitation. He even promised to give the nobles of Lingdu County half of the mineral income of Tieshan County."

"half?"

Lord Hora exclaimed, then shook his head.

"It's impossible, Baron Lane. It's absolutely impossible for Count Weiss to give you such huge benefits. He's deceiving you."

As a member of the Earl of Winter family, Lord Hora certainly knows how much iron ore there is in Iron Mountain County and how many weapons it can provide every year.

"Whether it's true or not, I'm going to refuse."

Ryan said, and then looked at Lord Hora, the sky knight, how he seemed not very smart and couldn't grasp the key points.

After all, he is a nobleman. If he doesn't become a legend in the future with this kind of mind, he will easily die on the battlefield.

After a long time, Viscount Hora finally spoke of his purpose.

"On behalf of Governor Earl Winter, I invite Lingdu County and Baron Lane because I want you to send troops to help the nobles of Tieshan County resist the invaders."

"The count will promise to give you a reward of 150,000 gold coins and 2,500 elementary life potions."

Ryan was a little frightened. After calculation, a fortune of 400,000 gold coins?

No, that's not right. There is a holy mage in the Earl of Winter, so there must be a mage tower and other mages following the countess. Therefore, the value of the life potion is probably at most one or two tenths.

Almost, a reward of 200,000?

This number made Ryan a little dissatisfied.

And for Ryan, life potion is the most important thing for knight practice, but he doesn't need it very much. His divine blessing effect is better than life potion, so for so long, his soldiers have never used life potion. Potions.

After the value of the life potion was greatly reduced to Earl Winter, it was discounted again by Ryan, so the value of this reward made Ryan even more dissatisfied.

"I don't need the life potion, but I have to replace it with other things of equal value, such as food, livestock, weapons, war horses, etc."

Hora was a little shocked and didn't understand, and the nobles would refuse the life potion and exchange it for those cheap things? Except for war horses.

Weapons are indeed cheaper in Beifeng Province.

"Baron Lane has a way to obtain life potion?"

Lord Hora asked directly, then thought of Ryan's surname, and seemed to have the answer, so he asked no more questions.

"I need to ask the earl for instructions on this matter. What you want, Baron Lane, is really...unexpected."

Then, Hora's method made Ryan feel how convenient it was to have the support of a holy mage who mastered space magic.

At the fortress on Rhinohorn Mountain, Lord Hora made contact with the distant Earl of Winter.
