Throne of the North

The south of the Flor Empire was, to be precise, the Thousand Lakes Province located on the seaside in the southwest of the empire.

This is the southernmost point of the empire. If you go further south, you will encounter the alien sea monsters living in the shallow sea, the land of the Kingdom of Carlos, and twenty or thirty noble territories.

Following the Holy See's declaration of war on the Holy Mountain, the five extraordinary legions of the Holy See, as well as the armies of dozens of noble territories coerced by the Holy See, gathered at the northern border of the Kingdom of Carlos, at a place called the Bordeaux Plateau.

In one day, the entire empire was in turmoil, and the imperial troops in the north began to gather towards the south to build a defense line in Qianhu Province.

The total number of armies on both sides, including the large number of slaves responsible for logistics, on the battlefield of this confrontation has reached one million.

"This is a war between two hegemons in the southern land that threatens the entire world."

A well-known scholar commented like this, and then on the last day of February, which the Holy See named the Birthday of the Holy Son, more than ten extraordinary legions launched an attack on the Thousand Lakes Province of the empire.

The name of the Thousand Lakes Province comes from the unique terrain here. The west coast of the Norris continent is concave from the location of the Thousand Lakes Province. In other words, the Thousand Lakes Province is located northwest of the Kingdom of Carlos, and the Kingdom is located in Qianhu Province is in the southeast direction.

Thousand Lakes Province is located at the corner of the ‘L’ shape of this terrain. Hundreds of islands form the most special province of this empire. There are many lakes, but they all lead directly to the ocean.

This geographical location resulted in an angle between the Empire and the Kingdom of Kalos, which was called Pearl Bay.

Both the Empire and the Kingdom of Kalos have navies in this bay because they need to resist the sea monsters living in the shallow waters of Pearl Bay and plunder the valuable pearls called the Tears of the Goddess.

Ten years ago, this kind of pearl was rated as the best spell medium among magicians.

When the war broke out, the navy of the Empire and the navy of the Kingdom of Carlos coincided with each other and suffered an extreme blow.

One of the extraordinary legions of the Holy See, the Deep Sea Believer Legion, composed of nine thousand Tidal Nagas, appeared here from the southern ocean. In just half a day, it carried out a devastating blow to the empire's navy.

The empire, which was not a powerful naval power in the first place, lost most of its strength under the sudden attack and had to flee back to Qianhu Province for internal repairs. However, in such a short period of time, it was difficult for the empire to form a counterattack against the Holy See from the sea.

But perhaps the commanders of both sides had the same idea. The navy of the Kingdom of Carlos was also completely destroyed by the empire's surprise attack. At this moment, both the empire and the Holy See lost their direct maritime military power.

As a last resort, the islands in Qianhu Province turned into wars. From the first day, armies from both sides started fighting on the islands in large numbers.

And almost at the same time, the unfinished war in Beifeng Province last year started again.

The armies of Earl Weiss and Viscount Hogg appeared in Tieshan County and Beifeng County. Beifeng Province's own all-out war also started amid the world's great changes.

It's just that compared to the world war in Pearl Bay in the south, Beifeng Province has not received much attention at all, and many people don't even know what is happening here.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Even though he was located in the Tundra Territory, Ryan still knew about the movements of Earl Weiss and Viscount Hogg at the first time. As one of the seven most powerful nobles in the North Wind Province, Ryan was able to decide this war on a small scale. direction.

"Let Lord Archer personally go to Calais and find Beard."

Ryan handed the note in his hand to the knight team in front of him, and at the same time handed the other party his baron family crest.

"Let Beard purchase things according to the needs above."

Thanks to the relationship with the Viscountess, Lord Arzhe's status in the Tundra Territory is now second only to Ryan and Butler Beard. The other party is also very sensible, and he seizes the opportunity and wants to tie himself to Ryan's car. .

Ryan naturally wouldn't mind giving him a chance to go to the south and see the prosperity of the empire.

As for the information on the note, it is the equipment that Archmage McCann currently needs. Training a war horse requires too many things.

"Also...let Lord Hahn come to see me."

Ryan ordered that Saban Hahn had helped him manage the remaining people of the Crucible City when Ryan was away. Later, when he came to the Tundra Territory, Ryan turned them into frozen soil as promised. Lord of the Territory.

Now this Lord not only has his own manor in the Tundra Territory, but is also Lane's temporary herald.

Because he mastered a kind of flying bird magic, which probably used magic to attach to the woven wooden or paper flying birds, making them 'come alive' for communication.

The method of communication is not to write down the message, but to record Ryan's order and then transmit it to a distant place.

For the current Lord Hahn, the small tundra territory is enough with his magician strength.

Magic from another world interests Archmage McCann. Perhaps Lord Hahn may become a powerful magician in the future.

For now, Ryan needs him to follow him and convey his instructions.

With the arrival of the herald Lord Hahn, many of Lane's orders began to be delivered to all corners of the Tundra Territory.

"The war in the North Wind Province has begun. Starting today, the five hundred knights and attendants will resume their food rations of four meals a day, and the militia will be guaranteed three meals a day. Even the militia will have to carry out four hours of military training every day during non-mission periods."

"Brock, you need to lead the craftsmen on Blacksmith Street to start forging refined weapons and armor. I don't need weapons that will chip after two cuts. The weapons and armor worn by my knights must be worth no less than one hundred gold coins."

"And Etria, in the new year, every person in the Frozen Territory must be registered, even slaves and babies. According to the classification of the blocks, the public security and sanitation issues of Chaihuo Street and Tavern Street need to be supplemented with manpower. My territory cannot be too dirty. "

"Lords, as nobles of the frozen land, you are pioneers. In the new year, every lord must lead a pioneering team to open up the foothills. You can apply for a militia team for protection and a hunting team as a guide. The best will be rewarded, and the worst will be punished."

"Drinking water irrigation..."

Ryan said dozens of orders in a row. Watching the birds flying from the Rhinoceros Horn Mountain to various places in the frozen land, everyone knew that the frozen land would be busy again.

And no one has forgotten that everyone in the frozen land now owes the lord a fortune. The houses they live in and the land they cultivate are all lent to them by Ryan for free. With the development of the frozen land, the lives of these people are indeed getting better, but at the same time, they also owe a lot of debts.

Ryan doesn't care about these, but the people below can't ignore them, because this is a lot of money for them.

Ryan let them slowly repay their loans by working, which made these civilians ecstatic. After all, other noble lords would not be paid for asking civilians to work.

"We must hurry up and start economic exchanges in Lingdu County."
