Throne of the North

In Leiyun County, Earl Weiss's castle was built on the highest mountain in the county.

When an army of 10,000 people arrived, Count Weiss couldn't resist even if he wanted to.

Why are there only ten thousand left in the army?

Of course it's because it's spring plowing time now, and the extra soldiers have gone back to their homes to farm.

Among the ten thousand people, there are still more than two thousand soldiers from Lingdu County.

The Flying Dragon Knights and the Dragon-Blooded Warrior Legion, plus hundreds of Ryan's knight attendants, were the army that climbed to Thunder Cloud Mountain out of 10,000 people.

The imaginary resistance did not appear. Count Weiss accepted his defeat and waited for the arrival of the nobles on this mountain peak.

Also waiting were the nobles from Leiyun County. They looked very ugly, but they had to come because only by clarifying the matter here would they not be burdened with the sin of colluding with the Holy See.

Of course, the reason why he looks ugly is because he will pay a lot of benefits.

After losing the war, losing his wife and losing troops, of course it was impossible to smile.

Ryan felt that these nobles hated Count Weiss to death at this moment.

"Count Love Weiss, as a nobleman of the empire, you secretly colluded with the Holy See. What else do you have to say?"

The first time they met, Earl Winter had already pointed out that he was the governor of Northwind Province, and only he could question a count.

Count Weiss sneered at the nobles who appeared.

"Which aristocratic law in the empire says that you cannot trade with the Holy See?"

Earl Weiss has killed something, and the collusion between the nobles and the Holy See cannot be stated openly.

After all, this is a war between divine power and royal power. Even the nobles of the empire may openly oppose the faith of the Holy See, because they are also devout believers of the Lord of the Dawn.

This is the change brought about by the real existence of gods. The nobles can only oppose the Holy See on certain matters, not the faith itself.

Naturally, the so-called collusion with the Holy See cannot be used as a reason to judge guilt.

Even if a war breaks out between the two sides, it must be justified and cannot directly oppose the other side's existence.

"Haha, Count Weiss, you'd better save this until you talk to the Council of Elders and the Imperial Court. My mission is just to send everyone in your Weiss family there."

Earl Winter smiled proudly. He was the victor of the war. No matter how Earl Weiss tried to quibble, he could not change the failure of the war and the fact of colluding with the Holy See.

The nobles have many ways to assign various responsibilities to Count Weiss and make him plead guilty "reasonably".

Sure enough, after hearing this, Count Weiss's expression inevitably changed.

According to what Earl Winter said, Earl Weiss will inevitably have several endings, that is, the death of some people, especially the direct lineage. With the current tense relationship between the empire and the Holy See, the empire must kill chickens to scare monkeys, and the Earl of Weiss family will shed blood.

The remaining part will be exiled to those worlds without any life, which have been completely dead and covered in winter due to the pan-dimensional war of gods, and will die alone. Among them, Count Weiss himself should be included.

Some of them will survive, inherit the honor of the Weiss family, become wandering nobles, or continue to inherit titles without territory.

but! Regardless of whether he was a wandering noble or inherited an empty title, Count Weiss could not guarantee that it would still be his descendant.

There is a 90% chance that that person has the blood of the Weiss family, but has no relationship with the current Earl of Weiss family.

Why? Because everyone is a noble, more or less related to each other.

For example, Earl Winter and Earl Weiss, a boy from Earl Winter's family stood up and said that his ancestor so-and-so came from the Weiss family, and then after checking, it was indeed the case, then does he also contain Weiss? Family blood?

Since it is, is there such a one-in-a-ten thousand chance of inheritance? Especially when the members of Earl Weiss's family are dying and disappearing, is this probability getting bigger and bigger?

At that time, the boy decided to restore the glory of his ancestors and have the courage to assume the responsibilities of the nobility and the noble qualities of the nobility. Then Earl Winter expressed his appreciation for this and strongly supported it. Then the boy changed his name and became the new Earl of Weiss. , or Viscount.

The Weiss family is still there, but does it have anything to do with the current Weiss family?

As for the inheritance of blood, Count Weiss will never allow the blood of the Weiss family to be tarnished.

He stood up and walked towards the study behind him.

"You come with me."

Of course, it was not just Earl Winter who followed, but also Earl Sauron and Baron Lane.

Not because of his improved status in this war, but because Ryan represents Lingdu County and is the spokesperson of many nobles.

In the study, there were only four nobles and a short catman.

"My noble lord, spare your life. I did everything. It was me who assassinated Viscount Dragon and his eldest son. It was also me..."

The catman knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, taking everything that Count Weiss had done on himself, but none of the three nobles present would care about this.

Count Weiss didn't care either.

After they listened quietly, Count Weiss spoke.

"Hector has taken some people to the west coast, where he will live as the heir of the Weiss family and never come back."

The Earl's eldest son did not appear in the subsequent wars. As the blood of the Weiss family, he lived as a descendant of the loser, waiting for the distant future to find an opportunity to restore the honor of the nobles and the glory of the family.

Earl Weiss said it directly, because it could not be concealed. The nobles who live in the sun are nobles, and those in the shadows are just mice.

Since he wants to inherit the Weiss family, he will definitely not hide it.

"Hehe."

Earl Winter just smiled and said nothing.

Earl Weiss didn't care either, he knew that these nobles didn't want this.

"As a reward, everything in the earl's territory is yours, and I will share the wealth of the Weiss family with you."

"They would have been ours."

Earl Sauron's old face showed the greed of a hungry wolf.

"Without me, those things will always be marked with Weiss's mark."

Earl Weiss was not polite, but what he said was indeed true.

The relationship between the nobles and the inheritance is doomed to be inseparable, which leads to the fact that in this world, after hundreds of years, someone will jump out to point out that the improper wealth in the hands of some nobles actually belongs to another bloodline.

In short, it is not fair.

"Victory in war requires fruits. The entrance to the other-dimensional world I control is on this mountain. I will give you the key to divinity."

As he said, Count Weiss moved the huge fang from the bookcase behind him.

Ryan was surprised. He thought it was a decoration just now.

"In addition, I will help you identify those nobles who also participated in the transaction with the Church."

This sentence completely blocked the hope of the Weiss family's bloodline to return to Thunder Cloud County in the future, and finally made the eyes of several nobles light up.
