Throne of the North

Longshan County, the name comes from one or more bipedal dragons. The original Earl Sauron used dragon blood to bathe himself, his bloodline and his soldiers.

This also led to the fact that the knights of Earl Sauron's extraordinary legion, the Dragon Blood Warrior Corps, were inherited through blood.

To become a member of Earl Sauron's extraordinary legion, the first thing you need is a bloodline that has been bathed in dragon blood.

At first, there were only 500 people bathed in dragon blood. Later, as the Earl's family continued to intermarry with those bloodlines, slowly, there were 3,000 dragon blood warriors in the Earl Sauron family today.

However, with the passage of time, except for the Earl's family itself, the dragon blood of other soldiers has become very thin. It is said that this Earl Sauron used some kind of magic potion to sublimate and stabilize that bloodline, thus solving the disaster that the Dragon Blood Warrior Corps might disappear in history.

This is also why Earl Sauron has a high reputation. Even Grand Duke Meyers did not kill the earl at the beginning.

That kind of potion can not only maintain the existence of Earl Sauron's Dragon Blood Warriors, but also Earl Winter's Flying Wolf Cavalry and those unicorn flying wolf mounts, which also need this potion to maintain the size of their own tribe.

The value is unimaginably high, so this earl family cannot be said to have become rich entirely by mining.

Ryan led the army to Graystone Castle, which is more than 200 miles away from the Dragon Mountain City where Earl Sauron is located, and less than 100 miles away from the border between Dragon Mountain County and Thunder Cloud County.

This is a war fortress left by the imperial army in the past, and it does not belong to any noble for the time being.

When he arrived here, there were still 180 soldiers in the fortress, and that afternoon, Earl Sauron's envoy also arrived here.

"Earl Sauron and the nobles of Dragon Mountain County greet you, the honorable Lord of the Frozen Earth, Baron Ryan."

"Greetings to Earl Sauron and the nobles of Dragon Mountain County."

Ryan performed a noble etiquette and then looked at the eldest son of the earl in front of him.

Feder Solon, the future Earl, although he doesn't know how long this future will last.

"Baron Ryan, I brought the Earl's order. Your soldiers need to defend the Graystone Castle. Viscount Hogg's cavalry wants to enter Longshan County. There are only two ways, one of which is here."

"In addition, Count Weiss's army may also appear here. The army that the Earl has is more than we thought."

"In two days, the first batch of logistical supplies will arrive here. At that time, you may need to send troops to meet them."

At the end, Feder also whispered:

"Viscount Hogg's cavalry has been trying to cut off the transportation of supplies within Longshan County and Beifeng County during this period. Baron Ryan, please pay attention."

For Count Solon, they really have no choice but to deal with the highly mobile cavalry.

The Earl's family assets are almost all placed on that extraordinary legion.

Dragonblood Warriors, the top infantry.

However, there are only 2,300 people left now, which has led to the hatred of the old Earl Sauron for Earl Weiss far exceeding anyone else.

The Dragon Blood Warrior Corps, which is maintained by blood, is different from other extraordinary soldiers.

"I will defend this line of defense."

Ryan nodded, and what made him a little strange was... defense?

Is the situation so grim?

"It seems that we have to make friends with a few nobles."

Ryan smiled at Enzo and said that he couldn't leave, so it would be best to leave this matter to Baron Enzo, who is also a noble.

Leave that day, and Baron Enzo will return the next day.

"The war here is more incomprehensible than we imagined."

Baron Enzo's eyes were also full of confusion.

"Earl Weiss's army is almost crushing the armies of two counties."

"Ah?"

Ryan was also shocked, this didn't make sense.

"It's impossible that every soldier in Earl Weiss's army is a barbarian, right?"

"Of course not, but the other soldiers under his command are indeed very barbaric. They wear animal skin armor and behave in the same way as barbarians. The most important thing is that they are fearless."

The last adjective almost completely explains why the power of the two counties was completely suppressed by Earl Weiss in the war.

Not fearing death is a very powerful title. If the soldiers were not afraid of death, Ryan would dare to lead these thousands of people to challenge the dragon.

But often, if one person dies, ten people around will shrink back, if ten people die, a hundred people will hesitate, and if a hundred people die, a thousand soldiers may retreat.

This principle has led to an almost one-sided war.

The North Wind Province was not peaceful to begin with. Those soldiers who survived many wars were not too afraid of death, but facing the group of barbarians under Earl Weiss who were not barbarians, the difference was obvious.

"What about the so-called Thunder Giant?"

"Earl Winter fought against him personally, but he seemed to be at a disadvantage."

"That giant has become more powerful, but he still has no wisdom. I don't know how Earl Weiss controlled him."

"The situation in Longshan County is not optimistic. Viscount Hogg's cavalry is constantly harassing the noble territories of Longshan County. This is not Tieshan County, and their cavalry is galloping freely on the land."

"And Count Weiss's barbarian army also has nearly two thousand barbarians following him. That Count Weiss..."

Baron Enzo didn't know what to say, so he could only say the noble's original words.

"He wants to use the barbarian army to fight the dragon blood warrior army to a mutual loss."

This is also the reason why Count Sauron has not dared to send his extraordinary army to the battlefield until now.

He is really afraid that Count Weiss will ignore the life and death of the barbarian army and want to die with him.

"Drag it on, it's not a solution. Count Weiss doesn't want to delay the war, right?"

"Yes, so Count Weiss's army will arrive here soon."

Baron Enzo waved his hand. They were just here and were arranged to the front line at the first time.

He felt that Baron Ryan still overestimated Count Sauron. Even as a dragon blood family, Count Sauron was still old and didn't dare to let his army fight to the death.

Along the way, the baron praised the earl, but in the current situation, their Graystone Castle may face the most terrible pressure.

"Don't worry, Enzo, we don't have long legs. At worst, we can return to the frozen land. If it doesn't work, we can still rely on Count Weiss."

"As long as Count Weiss has not betrayed the country and has not relied on foreign races, he is a great noble of the empire, isn't he?"

Ryan acted very relaxed. Indeed, as a noble, there are many choices, which are nothing more than interest exchange and compromise.

He can stand on the side of Beifeng County and Longshan County to become the winner, or he can stand on the side of Leiyun County and Yinchuan County to become the winner. As a noble in the remote Lingdu County, their interests will not be affected too much.

Baron Enzo widened his eyes. He never expected to get such an answer from Ryan.

Along the way, he was worried about how to fight this war.
