Throne of the North

"This is blasphemy to the gods! This is a war without hesitation!"

"The empire dared to blatantly violate the agreement witnessed by the glorious morning light and take the initiative to start a war. They actually dared to kill our Lord's loyal servant, a noble red archbishop!"

"They are blaspheming! They are declaring war on the dawn of the entire world!"

"The Holy See respects the changes in the world and recognizes the lords below the fifth-class nobles and above the knights. However, the will of the gods is warning that the so-called pioneers of light in the empire are absolute heretics! Heretics!!!"

"This is a war sanctioned by the gods. This is a war between Dawn's faith and heresy, and our great Lord of the Dawn will surely win, and the Holy See will surely regain the glory that belongs to the apostles of the gods!"

"The Holy Son has been born. This is the will of the gods. He has given us support in this war!"

"In the Kingdom of Dawn, the Archangel has awakened. He will come to bring the glory of the Lord of the Dawn and punish the heretics within the empire! Columbus III has been deceived by the heretics!"

It's amazing that the Holy See, any country, a noble lord, but they don't seem to know that the lord of the empire is the so-called pioneer of light.

Maybe they knew it, but the believers didn't know that in the Pope's roar, they really believed that the heresy against the gods was really born in the imperial land to the north that was not illuminated by the light of the morning sun.

“We need to reclaim faith in that land!”

"The ancient Crusader flag will no longer be covered in dust, and they will atone for their crimes!"

On the Holy Mountain, the Holy See openly launched a war with the Empire. The whole world was shocked. They didn't understand why the Holy See would be so extreme.

"They have to be."

Ryan, who was walking in Yinchuan County, said this, his eyes were profound.

"The Holy See of Dawn, the Lord of Dawn they serve, that god, has not shown any miracles for more than a hundred years."

"The majesty of the Holy See has suffered an unimaginable blow in these more than a hundred years. If the gods have not appeared, the meaning of the Holy See is not so absolute. The war between the empire and the Holy See is representative. Without the huge nutrients of the empire, the Holy See It’s been going downhill all year.”

"Even in addition to the empire, those kingdoms and duchies have already expressed their opposition to the Holy See and want to expel the Holy See from their own territories. Those clergy do not know how many gold coins they take every year in the name of the gods."

"They must use war and victory to make the people of this world believe in the greatness of the morning light again."

"Holy Son? Archangel?"

Ryan smiled.

But this matter probably has little to do with him. When he returns to the north, what he needs to face most is the cold winter in the north. Last year's snowstorm has not completely disappeared until now. The north will definitely freeze to death and starve. Many people died.

"There seems to be a war going on here?"

As he went deeper into Yinchuan County, Shaukat looked around solemnly. The eyes of the slaves seemed to be shining as they stared at their team transporting food.

"War?"

"Indeed, it's a new year, and the unfinished war will continue this year."

There is coldness in Ryan's eyes, this is also his war.

As expected, Viscount Hogg once again appeared in front of Ryan. This was Yinchuan County. Not to mention that Viscount Hogg controlled all the land here, at least half of it was not lacking, and the main roads would inevitably pass through this Viscount. territory.

"Ryan, you're finally back."

Viscount Hogg looked at Ryan solemnly. In this winter, he had completely regarded Ryan as his lifelong enemy.

"Viscount Hogg, your choice may not be the right one."

Ryan looked at the Viscount calmly, and the right thing he said was certainly not that Viscount Hogg had defected to Earl Weiss. After all, Viscount Hogg also wanted his family to have an extraordinary army.

What he said was right or wrong was the outcome of the war.

"The results will prove us right or wrong."

After Viscount Hogg said a word, he led hundreds of majestic cavalry troops away.

Next to him, Shawkat looked at Ryan in surprise, and even the mages in the carriage couldn't help but look sideways.

The nobles Ryan met in the Imperial City and along the way were all very humble, more like a baron. But after arriving in the North, he seemed to be a different person.

And just now, did you provoke a noble viscount?

"Viscount Hogg, the bloodline of this viscount family a hundred years ago should be traced back to the William royal family, which was the bloodline of a huge empire before the Divine Pandimensional War. The Hogg family is a descendant of the ancient William family. "

"However, in the empire, the Viscount Hogg family is not close to other nobles, or even to the Earl William family. After all, they are too far apart. Apart from being connected in the genealogy, there is only interest."

"But since we are in Beifeng Province, I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with interests."

Shawkat said casually, but did not care about Viscount Hogg's relationship in the aristocratic circle.

Among the nobles, as long as everyone takes out the family tree and reads it up, they can more or less be said to be their respective relatives.

If everyone has it, that means everyone doesn’t have it.

Seeing Yinchuan County's actions, Ryan's original idea of ​​walking directly back to Lingdu County changed to taking a detour from Tieshan County.

Shawkat thought wrongly. Ryan was not just facing off against a viscount noble, but a huge circle of nobles.

Walking on the only road and climbing over mountains and ridges still made Shawkat, Archmage McCann and others feel a little uncomfortable, and their speed inevitably slowed down. A few days later they arrived at Viscount Walter's territory.

The vast plains have been planted with wheat seeds again. Winter has not passed yet, and the sky is still snowing, but this is the environment in the north. Even if there is only a slight chance, food must be planted.

"Baron Ryan, you are finally back."

The moment he saw Ryan, Viscount Walter's heart settled down.

"You don't know that Yinchuan County has started mobilizing for war since before Divine Grace Day last year. Viscount Hogg did this, and we in Tieshan County have to do the same. But in this case, our food reserves will be almost exhausted."

"But you also know that there will be much fewer chambers of commerce coming to Beifeng Province this year, and we may not be able to buy so much food."

Viscount Walter's face was ugly. He never thought that the war would fall into failure early because of food.

"What did Earl Winter say?"

Ryan asked, for this question, the person Iron Mountain County should look for most is Earl Winter.

"The earl said that there is no way to transport the food across Leiyun County. He can only find a way to transport the food through Longshan County, then enter Lingdu County, and then enter Tieshan County. But in this case, the consumption on the road will be astronomical, and There is no guarantee that it will not be destroyed on the way. You don’t know that Viscount Hogg’s cavalry army has already started operating in Leiyun County.”

"Their speed is much faster than the dragon-blooded warriors under Count Sauron."
