Throne of the North

Twilight Territory, this is a barony, but until now, no nobles have been enfeoffed in this territory, just like the previous frozen land territory, which has not waited for its owner to appear.

However, unlike the frozen land territory, even if there is no lord here, there are thousands of people living here, and they are not poor.

Because the terrain of Thunder Cloud County is not steep, most of the land is flat, and there are a lot of streams and dark rivers here. Every night, the bright moon in the sky shines down, shining on the streams to form sparkling waves, which makes this place have the name of twilight.

Yes, the rivers here are different from those in the frozen land territory, and they are not frozen.

Along the way, Ryan envied it very much. In such a territory, even if the nobles do nothing, they can live a worry-free life.

The black army appeared in the twilight territory, and no civilians in the entire twilight town dared to come out. Through some mess, Ryan could also tell that it seemed that the soldiers of the front army had entered the town once.

After all, he couldn't control all the nobles and soldiers.

"Brand, tell our soldiers that no one can enter the town without orders."

"Yes."

Brand, wearing ferocious armor, rode a warhorse and followed Ryan's mobile fortress, listening to Ryan's continuous knowledge of leading troops.

Brand has matured a lot since he came to the frozen land from the initial tribe hunting boy.

"In addition, send a message to the whole army that no one can enter the town of Twilight. There are no enemies who betray the empire here."

The army made a brief stop in the south of Twilight. Earl Winter commanded the Flying Wolf Cavalry to go south from the sky to check the situation in Thundercloud County.

Tens of thousands of troops entered Thundercloud County. As long as the nobles here were not blind, deaf or stupid, they would definitely not know.

The war would not break out little by little, nor would it break out in the territory of the nobles.

Ryan looked at the map, which was the new map that he asked Earl Winter to gather in just a few days.

He looked at the front of his army, the place called Leiyin Gorge.

There, was the grave he prepared for Earl Weiss's army.

——

Leiyin Gorge, looking down from above, looks like a grassy field with a cut in it, narrow on both sides and wide in the middle, more than 20 miles long, and about 300 to 450 meters wide in the middle.

However, this Leiyin Gorge is not very deep. Standing on both sides and looking down, you can see at a glance that the valley bottom is overgrown with weeds and has not been taken care of at all.

There are three ways to cross Leiyin Gorge. One is to go around it, but it is too far. There is a big river in the place where you usually go around, so most people will not do this.

The second way is to go directly down and then come up from the other side.

It is only a few hundred meters wide and a few dozen meters deep. Just treat it as a mountain road. This is also the way most people who walk through Leiyin Gorge do. You only need to worry about the insects and poisonous snakes inside.

The third way is not so conventional. There are extraordinary people in this world.

Since there are extraordinary people, if you encounter such a difficult road, let the extraordinary power change it.

This has nothing to do with Ryan. The nobles have gathered together the mages who can use earth magic. As long as he needs it, he can let these mages build a bridge on the Leiyin Gorge at any time to allow tens of thousands of troops to pass.

However...

Ryan does not intend to go there. This is the battlefield he carefully selected.

"The reason why there is no lord in the Twilight Territory is probably related to this place."

It is too far away from other territories in Leiyun County, and it is not convenient. It is also not close to Longshan County or Beifeng County. There was nothing in Hongyiyuan before, and no one would go there.

Naturally, it is difficult for the Twilight Territory to connect with other territories, and the Twilight Territory has not yet discovered the existence of land resources such as iron ore.

Only one day has passed, and Earl Weiss's army has appeared on the opposite side of the Leiyin Gorge.

But... the number is a little small.

"Less than 10,000 people."

Riding on the flying wolf, Ryan almost saw at a glance that the number of soldiers under Earl Weiss would not exceed 10,000.

Moreover, most of them were wearing animal skins, and they didn't seem to be people from the empire at all.

From that world?

Ryan thought so.

Obviously, the other nobles in Thundercloud County also knew that the Holy Heavenly Knights appeared on the battlefield of Red Wing Plain, and they still stood on the side of Count Weiss.

Count Weiss was crazy and desperate to collude with the Church, but other nobles did not have this idea, and they would never dare to have this idea.

After the army returned to Thundercloud County, the nobles had a big quarrel and finally parted unhappily. All the nobles turned their backs on Count Weiss. They did not want the army of Flying Wing Canyon to appear at their doorstep.

"Love, surrender!"

Count Winter rode on the flying wolf in the sky and shouted, while on the opposite side, Count Weiss, with gloomy eyes, stared at the army here. He would never surrender.

"Never!"

He roared in a low voice, and then looked at Damon next to him.

"I must win the war. The Church wants to preach in the Empire, and you only have the opportunity in the North Wind Province."

"Where is the Feathered Dragon Corps? Can it be called?"

As long as the Feathered Dragon Corps can arrive, the Flying Wolf Cavalry and the Dragon Blood Warriors will not be a problem. He can defeat all the nobles in the North Wind Province with ease.

"Impossible."

Damon shook his head.

"The Feather Dragon Legion will not appear in the Empire, otherwise the Extraordinary Legion of the Wing Canyon will also go north. You haven't seen the army of the Wing Canyon yet because these nobles want to annex your territory."

Although Damon is not a noble, he has the same idea about Earl Winter and others.

Wes certainly knows that if the previous war determines the division of wealth, then when the legion of the Church appears on the battlefield, the nobles' ideas have changed from pure wealth to his territory.

It is precisely because of this that he has no way out. He must win the war, and it is not just as simple as winning the war. He needs more support from the Church.

"If I become the King of the North Wind, the Feather Dragon Legion and the army of the Andara Kingdom can be stationed here."

Count Weiss took a deep breath and said that no ruler would be willing to see other people's troops stationed on his land, but he has no choice now.

Damon glanced at Earl Weiss. He felt that this man was crazy to the extreme, but he didn't say it, because it would be of great benefit to the Church's erosion of the Empire.

No matter how unpopular the Northern Wind Province is, it is still one of the provinces of the Empire. If the faith of the Holy See can be spread, it will be a huge blow to the Empire.

"I will try."
