Throne of the North

"This is the army of a baron in the empire?"

In the castle, in front of the arched window, Viscount Fragoso let the red wine flow down his arms, while the nobles beside him also looked at the battlefield below in silence.

"Baron Lane is not an ordinary baron in the empire. His territory is very powerful and his population is no less than that of a viscount."

Mihai behind her was also silent at this result, but as the only one present who had been to the tundra territory, she still spoke.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is only a baron."

"According to your opinion, I admit that Ryan has great abilities and is a once-in-a-century outstanding nobleman in the empire, but he is only a baron, and he is still a baron in the north."

"But I, Fragoso, have hundreds of years of experience, am I so bad?"

Taking a deep breath, Fragoso could not accept his own incompetence and the incompetence of his predecessors.

"Tell Deglan, we must win this fight!"

He almost suppressed his anger and roared out. It would be fine if he was the only one, but don't forget that there are other nobles beside him. They stand on the side of the Fragoso family and on the side of Archduke McReynolds. Today's This scene, if they lose completely, will shake their trust in Fragoso.

The situation in the kingdom is tense now, and he and the Grand Duke must unite a group of nobles around them to achieve great things.

In terms of military strength, it is the only reference value.

So, we must win today.

As he said that, the viscount glanced at his daughter. From all aspects, Mihai was more suitable to be his heir than Digram, but it might not make sense.

Mihai knew what Fragoso meant, turned around and left here, and soon appeared in the military camp below.

"Fragoso's elite are about to return to the castle. Mr. Harrington, please wait a moment while we conduct the drill again."

Taking this opportunity, Mihai came to Harrington's side.

She first praised the strength of the Tundra Territory army, and then tactfully said that there were some nobles watching in the castle, which meant that Fragoso would have a voice in the future, which might affect the number of transactions with the Tundra Territory. share.

Harrington understood. Mihai wanted him to release the water, and the price was that Fragoso would purchase more weapons from the Tundra Territory and sell them more food.

But he rejected Mihai without thinking.

"Sorry, Madam Lord, I am Baron Lane's attendant. I have no right to ask Baron Lane's soldiers to give up victory."

"This represents the glory of the Lane family. The honor of the knights prevents us from returning to the territory as a weakling."

Harrington's voice was fair. The cavalry behind him was the most elite army in the Tundra Territory. If they lost, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Tundra Territory and the prestige of Baron Lane.

Baron Lane has never failed on the battlefield, so they cannot lose to any army.

Not to mention the soldiers of Viscount Fragoso, even if the archduke sent the gryphon knights, they could not bow their heads.

Mihai looked a little ugly after receiving such an answer, but she still nodded to show that she understood.

Not long after, a new group of soldiers appeared in the viscounty, a total of three hundred people, but Harrington could see clearly that two hundred of them were the same soldiers from before.

"charge!"

Holding long weapons for training, the earth trembled, and iron hooves trampled on the land, stirring up the most primitive flavor of the soil. The heavily armed armies of both sides once again collided like lions.

Finally seeing blood, Fragoso gave the order. All the soldiers did not dare to be careless and no longer evaded. They must win.

But in the end, it was themselves who saw blood.

In the castle, Viscount Fragoso had gloomy eyes and turned away from looking at the outcome of this exercise.

The other nobles around also had inexplicable looks in their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

"The army of the Baron of the Tundra Territory is so powerful. It seems... that we need to get in touch with that Baron. It would be good to deepen our relationship."

"I heard that there are caravans from the Tundra Territory purchasing food? You can communicate with them."

At dawn the next day, these nobles returned to their territories in carriages. The distance between the territories of the nobles in the Kingdom of Andara was much shorter than the distance between the nobles of the empire, and it only took two or three hours. Let them return to their territory.

However, what these nobles didn't know was that there were so many people when they went there, but when they came back, there were a few more people.

Appia crouched in the shadow of the corner and looked at Baron Huffman in front of him. He was writing a letter in front of the desk. He walked over. This baron was not a knight or a mage. He could not find the most powerful cat-man assassin at all. Right next to myself.

"Your Highness Hernan, I saw something very interesting today. Viscount Fragoso, who is next to McReynolds, invited a caravan from the empire. It was a baron's team, with..."

Baron Halfman wrote a lot of nonsense, and when he gradually reached the key points, he heard a knock on the door.

He looked at the door warily, then put the letter in his hand under the table.

"Come in."

The person who came in was the most powerful knight in the baron territory, Knight Rosslet. The baron looked at the man in charge of power in the territory and asked with some dissatisfaction:

"What's the matter, Knight Roselet?"

The knight knew that the baron was disturbed by someone in his study, but he still said:

"Mr. Baron, Miss Poppy guessed that a thief had entered the territory. I wonder if you have found anything."

"Someone?"

Huffman had a guilty conscience, and naturally couldn't help wondering if he had exposed something.

"You take people to search the territory and arrest all the strangers."

He was very cautious.

"Follow your will."

"Oh, by the way, did anyone from the frozen land come to us?"

"Yes, they arrived yesterday afternoon. They are buying food from the territory."

"Don't worry about them, find a way to contact them, just say..."

Baron Huffman explained, and after the knight left, Baron Huffman continued to write. Finally, Appia watched him open a secret compartment behind a bookcase and put the letter in it.

The magic secret pattern covered it, and after Baron Huffman left, Appia didn't dare to take action. He was not familiar with magic methods, and it would be bad if he aroused vigilance.

But from the few words he had seen before, he had been able to understand something.

"Your Highness Hernan... This should mean the prince of the kingdom, right?"
