Throne of the North

In the time between receiving the news from Ryan and rushing to the front line, the army led by Earl Winter and Earl Sauron began a crazy attack on Earl Weiss.

They seemed to be driving the other side's army out of their own county, and then the two counts' armies simultaneously attacked Earl Weiss's army at the edge of Red Wing Plains.

If the two counties could be brought together on the same battlefield, they would indeed have an absolute advantage.

However, Earl Weiss also made no resistance and allowed his army to retreat step by step and return to the base camp of Red Wing.

By the time Ryan's army arrived at the front line, Earl Sauron had driven out all enemies who entered Longshan County at the cost of more than a thousand deaths.

Along the way, Ryan could see naked bodies dumped in corners, the stench filling the sky.

"Burn."

Ryan gave an order, allowing him and his army to avoid the pursuit of the war, and arrived at the front line just in time for both sides to briefly end.

"My Lord Earl."

Ryan came to a huge mobile fortress. This fortress was a square military tent built from pieces of gray-red stone. It had an area of ​​about 150 square meters. The 28 wheels underneath pulled out a path in the soil. There are dents, and the surface is engraved with magical secret lines, and what pulls this mobile fortress are six ferocious one-horned rhinoceroses, with cracked skin and horn exuding a fiery breath.

Each one is a peak second-order monster. Just standing there, with a body nearly three meters high, gives people a depressing aura.

Such a mobile fortress cannot be built without thirty to fifty thousand gold coins.

Don't underestimate 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins. The income of an ordinary barony in ten years will not reach this figure.

This is after the Lordship system was now in place, the barony territory was larger, and the population was larger.

"Baron Ryan came at the right time. We just won the war against Leiyun County, and you came here."

Before Count Sauron could speak, someone next to him became angry.

Ryan looked over and saw that he was a man with inverted triangular eyes. In aristocratic circles, such a face was not welcome.

Viscount Denton, Viscount of Longshan County, was also a local nobleman of the former Northwind Province who surrendered to the empire.

Since they are not imperial nobles, this family's experience of becoming a noble is different from others. Their family bloodline has been warlocks for generations, and they are good at controlling beasts such as poisonous snakes. According to the legend of the Viscount Denton family, In their family territory, there is a 300-meter-long snake that is their patron saint.

In short, such nobles are not welcomed by the imperial noble circle. They can only rely on Count Sauron to ensure that their family does not become lonely.

"Baron Ryan, you are indeed a little slow in coming. If you had your army, we would not have so many casualties."

The handsome Earl Sauron looked at Ryan and said, he was also a little dissatisfied.

Ryan spoke apologetically to Count Sauron.

"I encountered a lot of corpses on the road. I can only arrange for soldiers to burn them. Otherwise, if the weather gets warmer in a few days, it will be bad if a plague breaks out."

"Ryan is still a little surprised. Why is there time to strip off the body's clothes as a trophy, but no time to clean up the body?"

Ryan's words made Count Sauron a little unhappy, but as a great nobleman, the expression on his face did not change.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Now that the Weiss family has been forced to Red Wing Plains by us, Earl Winter and I have discussed that we will both attack Love Weiss at the same time tomorrow. Ryan, what do you think of this war? ”

What can Ryan think? He doesn't even know what the army on this battlefield looks like, and he doesn't know what tricks these nobles have.

"Since the Earl has decided, of course Ryan will follow the Earl's will."

…

Early the next morning, the mighty army of twenty to thirty thousand men made every soldier and noble among them excited. No matter who they were, they had never seen such a spectacular scene.

The most important thing is that among these armies, at most one-third are temporary soldiers composed of slaves, and the rest are all semi-off-the-job regular troops.

Ryan led more than 3,000 people from Lingdu County to the west side of the army. From a distance, his army lineup here turned out to be the best.

Because even the troops under Count Sauron can't look like a person standing upright when viewed from the side, and each person has an ear of wheat stuck on their head, making them look very powerful. , intimidating.

"This Baron of Tundra is indeed a powerful military genius. He is actually able to turn the army into this."

Looking at the silent soldiers over there, with no shaking of their heads, many nobles in Longshan County looked envious. It would be great if these were their own soldiers.

As if they felt the gazes around them, thousands of soldiers behind Ryan subconsciously raised their heads and chests high. Even Baron Enzo next to him looked aloof, like a well-prepared general.

Ryan, who felt this scene, smiled in his heart. These soldiers still had idol baggage at this time, but when the battlefield started, they might not care about their appearance anymore.

Thinking of this, his pupils turned red and shrank, as if they were about to turn into awns, looking at the end of the Red Wing Plains ahead, where the flags were flying, and the black barbarian army released a strong force of blood, alarming the war horses. In a low neighing voice.

The moment the thunder and mountain flags appeared, Ryan also saw the thunder giant that he had been thinking about.

He could be seen from a distance. Because he was too tall, with a huge body of more than 20 to 30 meters high, most of the city walls were just thresholds in front of him. He looked like a giant barbarian, with thick hair all over his face and chest, and animal skins scattered on his vital parts. The lightning flashing frequently on his body should be the reason why he could not wear metal armor.

But in his hands, he held two nearly ten-meter-long ball-headed hammers. Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help swallowing their saliva, fearing that if the terrible weapon fell, the earth would be smashed into a hole.

The most important thing is that the opponent not only has extremely powerful physical damage, but also thunder magic damage. If a thunder comes down, I don't know how to block it.

"Can the Dragonblood Warrior Corps stop such a Thunder Giant?"

Ryan's eyes turned to the red army in the center of the army. Each of them was a descendant of a knight bathed in dragon blood, and they were naturally stronger than others. It was said that the armor and weapons they wore weighed up to 100 to 200 kilograms.

He shook his head. The Dragonblood Warrior Corps was just heavy infantry. Such an army could deal with smaller enemies, but it was absolutely restrained when facing a monster like the Thunder Giant, which had a guaranteed sanctuary as long as it reached adulthood.

Their mobility and defense made them the best toys in front of the giants.

So, the one who should deal with the giants should be the Earl of Winter.

Ryan's eyes looked to the southwest, and vaguely, he seemed to be able to feel a large amount of powerful blood and qi boiling there.
