Throne of the North

The military forces from Beifeng County, Longshan County, and Lingdu County are all gathered here. You can imagine how many noble members there will be among them.

Those members of the nobility represented the barons, viscounts, and even two earls behind them.

After spending a day, Ryan divided the army into the front, middle and rear armies. The army in Lingdu County was okay, after all, they were all around him, but the other nobles seemed to have exploded.

"Baron Lane, why did my army go to the front and take away the weapons of my soldiers, and only gave them axes and shovels!?"

"Baron Lane, my army has always been responsible for the left wing, why should we be at the front?"

"Baron Lane, my army is not my family's army, but is composed of soldiers from three barons and your lords. We..."

Looking at the roaring nobles in front of him, Ryan looked coldly.

"Slave soldiers are not suitable for going to the battlefield. It is best to use them to open roads, build bridges, dig pits, fill manure, and clean battlefields..."

After Ryan finished speaking, he ignored Lord Fran's flushed face and looked at the other noble.

"The transportation of grain and grass faces the greatest pressure. If you want to go to the battlefield, holding on to the grain and grass is the greatest achievement. Even when the time comes, you will be responsible for suppressing the civilians and slaves in the noble territory of Leiyun County to avoid riots. They all need to be transferred from your hands. ”

"We entered Leiyun County from Red Wing Plains. The road is flat. What is the difference between the left wing and the right wing? The enemy may rush into our army from anywhere."

"besides……"

Ryan explained patiently, but - he only explained it once.

"I……"

Lord Alietta's face was ugly. Of course, the soldiers he led could not be just an army of a noble family, but a coalition of many nobles. Of course, he was dissatisfied with Ryan asking him to be responsible for transporting grain and grass.

Everyone knows that they are attacking Leiyun County now, and Earl Weiss has been defeated by them. Entering Leiyun County will bring a lot of military exploits and wealth. If he cannot get enough benefits, he will not know how to fight with those nobles after he returns. Account.

But as soon as he opened his mouth to refute, Ryan had already stood up. The Silver Knight's powerful aura was suppressed, and he stared at the Lord like a giant dragon.

"If you don't accept it, I will change someone to take charge of the food and fodder now!"

"Keep the food you are responsible for. If anything goes wrong, military law will be dealt with!"

After saying that, Ryan's voice also softened.

"If the attack goes well and you ensure that no food or fodder is lost, this contribution may not make you into the top ten."

After Ryan finished speaking, the eyes of Lord Alietta in front of him lit up. In the previous discussion, Ryan had the right to decide the credit after the victory of the war.

To be precise, it records which nobles made greater contributions in the war.

This involves the final division of interests, a concession made by the two earls to Ryan.

"That……"

"The army will enter Leiyun County in a few days. Why are you still here?"

Ryan then used carrots and sticks to drive the other nobles out of the mobile fortress. Looking at the leaving figures of these nobles, Ryan smiled slightly in his heart.

If we can keep food and grass security, it may not be impossible to be in the top ten, not to mention the top five, but the problem is...

There are not only two or three families responsible for the security of food and grass. In addition to slave soldiers, there are also 6,000 regular troops. Among the 6,000 soldiers, almost every noble in Beifeng County and Longshan County has a share.

No matter how great the credit is, it doesn't matter if you get even one point.

Swadifari, above the wilderness, is the horse farm research institute of Archmage McCann.

After arranging the army for three consecutive days, Ryan finally had time to come here to see the war horse that he had longed for.

"I've grown a lot taller."

Ryan looked at the wild horses in the racecourse, and then blessed them one by one. Each one was blessed with thirty spiritual spirits. Although the spiritual energy was abundant, he still could not bless each one with hundreds of spiritual spirits.

"It's really possible. Can all wild horses do this, or can only wild horses in this world and in this wilderness be blessed?"

Ryan thought it was the latter, because he had never tried to bless those highland horses.

The effect is minimal.

"It will take at most three to five years for the first batch of first-generation war horses to grow. If you can buy more magic potions, the speed can continue to increase."

According to the data given by Archmage McCann, it is certainly impossible for Ryan to spend hundreds or even thousands of gold coins on each horse just to speed up the growth of the war horse. Moreover, even if he wanted to, he would not have the time to transport the magic potion. .

"Don't worry, it's still too expensive."

Ryan said that if he could, he would not spend this money. The consumption was too much. According to a year ago, many barons' annual income was only a few thousand gold coins. No matter how squandering it was, it would not be such a waste.

If you are not a big noble, it is really difficult for you to afford the high-end market of war horses.

"If everything goes well, I can get some land after the war ends, and that land can be used to cultivate potions."

The magic potion you grow yourself will definitely be much cheaper than buying it directly with money.

When magicians encounter this kind of thing, the first thought is to buy it with money, but Ryan is a nobleman, a land-owning nobleman, and he is more interested in production than consumption.

This is the ideological gap between him and Archmage McCann. After all, as a magician, Archmage McCann has no territory and can only obtain materials by purchasing.

This way, a large amount of gold coins can be saved, which can be used in more needed places.

Very satisfied with the fifty first-generation war horses in the horse farm, Ryan returned to the Red Wing Plain. The army of tens of thousands of people still could not be used as he wanted. In a few days, he could only simply control the coalition forces of the three counties.

Finally, the time was getting closer and closer to the day of attack.

"Let the front army enter Thunder Cloud County and station in two parts at the lake ten miles south and east of the Twilight Territory to mine trees and forge toilets. Before the arrival of the army, sufficient quantities must be prepared."

"The rear army will send 3,500 soldiers to escort food and grass, follow behind the front army, and station in the south of the Twilight Territory."

...

The army finally began to attack Thunder Cloud County. The army of tens of thousands of people advanced in an orderly manner, bringing oppression, as if dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder roared in it. At this moment, not only the nobles, but also the two earls who stayed in their respective extraordinary legions were shocked to see this scene.

They had never thought that the army could do this when it advanced.

How did they do it before? The great nobles arranged it, and the small nobles each took their own troops, and then it was done.

But now that tens of thousands of troops from three counties have been integrated, even though the march is still messy, and some soldiers even walked into the ranks of other armies, it is still shocking, as if a giant dragon is crawling on the ground, advancing slowly.

The 30,000-man central army is not advancing fast. This is the speed Ryan considered after observing these days. Even the soldiers with the worst quality can catch their breath and keep up with the main force.

Not being chaotic makes this army strong enough.
