Throne of the North

"Oh, what sad news."

In the wilderness land, Ryan said with emotion on his horse.

Ryan was not very familiar with Baron Malik before, but in recent days, due to the frequent messages conveyed by the Airwolf Cavalry, he had a brief understanding of the Baron.

Comparable to two Hattons.

In terms of enjoyment, this Baron Malik is better, and in terms of exploiting slaves and civilians, this Baron is also better.

In his territory, the ratio of civilians to slaves reached an astonishing one to nine.

Captain Luke looked silent next to him, and he could see now that the Tundra Baron had no intention of saving Baron Malik's territory.

Ryan set his sights on the mount under the captain. The wolf, a powerful beast, was one of the best even after becoming a Warcraft, but there were never many wolves that could be used as mounts.

"Luke, how did Earl Winter train you one-horned flying wolves?"

"I heard that Count Weiss has a plane world. Doesn't Count Winter also have such a world?"

Ryan's words made Luke tense up for a moment, but this action already gave Ryan an answer.

Sure enough, the huge consumption of the Airwolf Cavalry is difficult to maintain in a food-deficient province like Beifeng Province alone. Either Earl Winter is very rich, or he has his own unique source of food.

It's just... the dead world fell into an eternal winter. How did Earl Winter produce food in such a world?

Ryan thought of the countess.

There are many extraordinary methods in this world, but they may not be...impossible.

On the third day, Lane's army entered Iron Mountain County. After crossing the large river that meandered between the mountain peaks, the temperature in the air became a little dry. It is said that this was because of the underground water in Iron Mountain County. Caused by the existence of a large number of mineral veins.

What surprised Ryan was that the only Viscount of Iron Mountain County, Viscount Walter, personally brought more than two hundred soldiers and seven or eight nobles to greet them here.

It seems that they really don't have an elite army anymore.

"Baron Lane from the Tundra Territory, Iron Mountain County welcomes you."

Looking at Ryan's young face, Walter still felt a little incredible that the two viscount families in Lingdu County had all been defeated by this young man.

"Viscount Walter, may the gods protect your health."

Ryan smiled, and then walked side by side with Viscount Walter at the front of the army.

"Ryan, Baron Malik's territory has been occupied by Viscount Hogg's army. Unfortunately, it was originally the place where we prepared to deal with the troops of Viscount Hogg and Earl Weiss. Baron Malik's castle is the strongest line of defense. ”

Viscount Walter said regretfully, but he was actually dissatisfied with Ryan's slowness.

"That's such a pity. I hope Viscount Hogg's army will not continue to penetrate deeper."

Ryan seemed not to hear what the other party meant, and continued to ask:

"Lord Viscount, I don't know if Count Weiss's army has appeared in Iron Mountain County."

Viscount Walter's expression became a little angry and he clenched his fists.

"The Earl's army is right behind Viscount Hogg's army. We tried to cut off the supplies of Viscount Hogg's army and occupy the canyon, but we were ambushed by the Earl's army."

Ryan looked at the Viscount and thought to himself that maybe this was the reason why the last elite army in Tieshan County disappeared.

They made a desperate move, but they didn't expect to fail again.

"It seems that this Viscount Hogg is more powerful than we imagined."

After hearing Ryan's words, Viscount Walter had to admit that they had failed too many times in front of Viscount Hogg.

"Now Viscount Hogg's army has approached Baron Freeman's territory. Our troops are there. I hope you can defeat Viscount Hogg and regain our territory."

"Of course."

Another day passed, and Ryan appeared in Baron Freeman's territory with tens of thousands of troops. Looking at the winding hills in front of him, Ryan also understood why Iron Mountain County, which did not have many troops, was so difficult to fight. .

What is Viscount Hogg's most powerful thing? It was his knight cavalry army with a number of up to a thousand people, but here, the cavalry could hardly play a role, and the cavalry could only dismount and fight.

Baron Freeman's territory is located on the highest hill like this, with gentle slopes in all directions, and in some valleys, there are cultivated fields.

Tieshan County relies more on food purchased from the outside world than Lingdu County, but many times they obtain it through trade. After all, there is a large amount of iron ore here.

In Baron Freeman's castle, Ryan not only saw the baron, but also saw a middle-aged man who was full of malice towards him.

Baron Malik, he guessed in his mind, after all, he was the only one who had reason to glare at him.

"Ryan, why are your troops coming so slowly?!"

"My territory and my slaves were all taken away by the damn Viscount Hogg. It's all your fault!"

Baron Malik scolded Ryan. He was extremely angry. His wealth and territory had been occupied. For a noble, this was an insult to honor.

Ryan ignored the other party and asked Baron Freeman:

"Viscount Hogg's army is coming from the south, I need your map here."

Baron Freeman hadn't spoken yet, and Baron Malik was finally furious.

"Ryan!"

Looking at the man-eating Baron Malik, Ryan turned his head.

"Mr. Malik, do you have any questions?"

"My territory..."

"Okay, no need to say it, you also said that it is your territory, not mine."

Ryan looked at the other party and said calmly:

"So, why should I let my soldiers die for your territory?"

Baron Malik's words were stuck in his throat, and he looked at Ryan with a red face. Anger had filled his chest. Fortunately, Baron Freeman grabbed this guy who was like a barrel of explosives at this time.

Indeed, just as Ryan said, Baron Freeman reacted. Now it was his territory that was threatened, and his relationship with Baron Malik was not that good.

He also needed Ryan's army to help him defend his territory.

"Malik, calm down first, Ryan, I will send you the map."

Half an hour later, Ryan saw the appearance of Baron Freeman's territory. On the map, Baron Freeman's territory was a land composed of small hills. There was a distance of several hundred meters between almost every two small hills. There were also roads in between, but there were only three or five.

The road leading to the farmland and a main road represented the connection between the baron's territory and other distant territories. In Tieshan County, road construction was almost all based on accumulated trampling. Even so, there were still many wild beasts around the road.

In the winter, Tieshan County was warmer than other places, which led to the willingness of wild beasts to come here to live.

After reading the map for a long time, Ryan understood one thing. Baron Freeman's territory might be invaded, but Baron Freeman's wealth would probably not be in any big trouble.

If Viscount Hogg is not stupid, he will definitely not stare at the low and high hills in all directions. If he wants to occupy the castle here, the price he will pay will be unimaginable.

Suddenly, Ryan came to his senses and asked Baron Freeman.

"Are the remaining troops of Tieshan County here?"

Baron Freeman was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"More than 2,000 slave troops organized by the nobles are in the valley in the south."

"This is the only army that Tieshan County can organize now."

Ryan was about to say something, and the shadow of the Flying Wolf Cavalry in the sky outside was getting bigger and bigger. Captain Luke, who was full of fear and anxiety, came to Baron Freeman's castle and shouted.

"Baron Ryan, it's not good. Viscount Hogg and his army appeared in Viscount Walter's territory."
