Throne of the North

Brock's eyes were glowing.

However, before the "Snow Dragon's Song" series broke out of the northern territory, a deafening sound like the roar of a giant dragon came from the north of the tundra territory.

"The blizzard lasted for several months, resulting in heavy snow accumulation. Now the snow is melting and avalanches of snow are falling from a large number of peaks."

Listening to the knight's report, Ryan stood on Rhinohorn Mountain and said to Bullock beside him:

"Brock, this is the Snow Dragon of the North. You won't let this name be shamed, right?"

Bullock fell into a special state and came back to his senses after a long time.

"The weapons I forge will definitely be different from the weapons forged by anyone else."

He turned around and left. It seemed that these earth-shattering avalanches brought a lot of opportunities to Bullock.

"When the avalanche occurs, a large area of ​​land will be exposed. Send hunters to the north to explore. In addition, it's time to build a few towers."

Ryan looked at the north. Although he could see far away from Rhinoceros Mountain, the vastness of the North was not what he could see from here. If there were towers, his vision could be extended further. place.

And the most important thing is that the territory's cordon can also be expanded, and the tundra territory can legitimately expand.

…

The ice and snow in the north are already melting, and the movement of avalanches not only represents the arrival of spring, but also sounds the bell of war.

The day after the avalanche, Earl Winter's envoy, a team of knights, came to the Tundra Territory.

"Lord Baron Lane, the earl asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"At the same time, I would like to ask you when will Lingdu County's army be able to set off?"

Ryan nodded and then said:

"The troops from Lingdu County will be assembled in half a month and then go to Longshan County to assist Count Sauron."

After speaking, he asked the knight captain who had the strength of a silver knight.

"Is the war very pessimistic?"

The knight captain did not nod or deny, but said respectfully:

"The armies of Earl Weiss and Viscount Hogg have entered Longshan County and Beifeng County. The armies of the two counties have gathered at the border. Earl Sauron is unwilling to send troops into Beifeng Province, so he can only attack in the two counties separately. Resist within."

Neither of the two earls was willing to send their own troops into the other's territory to assist in the defensive war. They were worried that the cavalry of Earl Weiss and Viscount Hogg could change direction and attack the other earl's territory at any time.

This also resulted in a lot of pressure on both sides.

"I understand, just pass my decision to the two earls."

After the team left, Ryan immediately sent people to various noble territories in Lingdu County.

"I have left the arms deal with the Chamber of Commerce to Lingdu County exclusively. Now, it's time for you to show your sincerity."

In just ten days, 3,000 soldiers gathered in Lingdu City. Counting the 500 knights and guards led by Ryan, there were a total of 3,500 soldiers.

Looking at these soldiers, Ryan was quite satisfied. These nobles were not useless.

Although they did not carry out war mobilization like Tieshan County, they still carefully cultivated and trained their soldiers throughout the winter even though they knew that the war was not over yet.

These three thousand soldiers are not composed of slaves like before, but regular soldiers. And with so many soldiers, the nobles may only have crooked melons and cracked dates under their hands.

"Baron Ryan, our soldiers have been handed over to you personally, and you must bring us victory."

Some nobles could not help but worry and warned that if these three thousand soldiers were buried far away, their lives would not be much better than those in Tieshan County.

Even the two newly promoted viscounts couldn't help but worry. Lingdu County has never had such an army composed purely of regular soldiers. In the past, everyone was an army composed of regular soldiers and slave soldiers. Let the slaves rush to the front and be consumed later. Then the soldiers advance.

After more than a year of war, these are the only troops left under their command.

"No one can guarantee victory or defeat in a war, but I, Ryan, will ensure that all these soldiers will not be buried in foreign lands."

Ryan is riding on a war horse, and Archmage McCann is still training Winter, so the war horse he rides this time still belongs to the previous batch.

Looking at the various flags standing in the army, thanks to the profits from the iron forging, no nobles in Lingdu County have withdrawn. They are also worried that if they do not participate in this war, the subsequent transactions with the Chamber of Commerce will be affected. Resistance from other nobles.

Everyone belongs to the aristocratic circle. If any aristocrat does not fit in, he will be isolated.

No matter where they are, the nobles must grit their teeth and arrange for soldiers to participate in this war.

Fortunately, Ryan did take into account the number of young men under each noble, and only deployed the elite, not even planning to ask for logistics.

"Count Sauron will prepare all the supplies for us."

Although he has not received a reply yet, Ryan still said this. As the Lingdu County army on the expedition, this logistical pressure must be given to the two earls.

With his knight attendants, Ryan's high-flying snow-white flag came to the forefront of the army, and the Rhinohorn Mountain depicted on it became the direction of the army.

After three days of training outside Lingdu City, Ryan dragged all the nobles to watch for three days. Once there was a problem with any of the nobles' soldiers, he would look over.

Everyone is a noble, and they have to look good. Moreover, this kind of training and military parade is undoubtedly a competition of the strength of each territory. Who is stronger and who is weaker may affect their relationship in the next few years.

This also led to the soldiers, like chicken blood, exerting twelve points of strength and brain to remember Ryan's orders and the sound of the horn on the battlefield.

It's enough to remember and know what to do.

Ryan's requirements are not that high.

After three days, after eating a lot of precious meat, bread and risotto, this army belonging to Lingdu County embarked on an expedition.

"Why do I feel like the last meal of the execution."

Ryan said with a smile and burped. It was rare for him to eat from the same pot with these soldiers, which made many people look at him with a little change.

Ryan certainly didn't care, but Baron Enzo next to him seemed to have learned something. On the way, he didn't even eat with Ryan, but with his soldiers.

"In any matter, excess is as bad as deficiency. You need to be gracious as well as powerful."

However, considering that Baron Enzo only had a few dozen knights and attendants around him, Ryan did not say anything.

Longshan County, here we are.
