Throne of the North

Another reason why Ryan announced the end of meditation was that he was about to turn fifteen.

This winter, the Tundra Territory ushered in its first festive festival.

Lord, enjoy your time with the people.

On this day, one of the three fields, the Bain family terraces, was officially completed. The next step is to continuously increase the vitality of the soil.

One hundred and ten acres of farmland made the Bain family almost crazy. When they saw Ryan, they almost knelt down for three words and kneeled down for five words.

And the Bain family, who has just stepped into the upper class of the territory, makes the remaining people extremely jealous. Ryan believes that the remaining two farmland will be developed soon.

"Master Ryan, congratulations on turning one year older."

In Baron Castle on Rhinohorn Mountain, there are only a few people who can actually sit at the same table with Ryan.

Outside the Baron's Castle, Delen couldn't help but regret, because he was supposed to be the one to replace Rosen inside, but now he could only guard.

Looking at the many dancing lights of the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain in the night, maybe he really shouldn't have refused in the first place. The Tundra Territory was becoming more and more prosperous and it was very warm here.

This day should be remembered by many people, because even those slaves, their life in the Tundra Territory is actually similar to that of civilians. After all, in the territory now, money cannot be spent for the time being, and they all eat the rewards from the lord. food.

Today, those mud-legged people can even eat some broth. Master Lane gave the order, and the cooks did not dare to cut corners today.

I hope that today will make those mud-legged people remember the goodness of Master Ryan and quickly clean up those fields tomorrow.

The food received by Knight Walter was a mixture of good and bad, and it was beginning to taste unpalatable.

I'm afraid only Master Ryan can think of cultivating farmland in that mountain, right? It also attracts birds to poop, which is said to fertilize the soil.

The terraced field method has never been heard of in the south, but it can produce dozens of times more farmland, which is amazing.

There should be no one guarding the mountain today, but some wild beasts should not destroy the farmland.

Delen looked into the distance and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Today is a big day, Master Lane’s fifteenth birthday, and he is having fun with the people. Everyone is in the territory, but...

Why are there fires on the mountain?

Delen can become the captain of the guard, so he certainly has no shortage of abilities.

He looked into the darkness in the distance and called a few soldiers to give some instructions.

…

"Master Ryan, we have been in the Tundra Territory for almost two months. According to the time, the Earl should have returned to the empire."

The old butler gave a little reminder, which made Ryan a little silent.

Earl Clayton returned to the empire, and he didn't know what kind of disturbance would be caused in the imperial capital, and whether it would affect his tundra territory here.

In two months, he had accepted everything about himself.

all is well.

There was Beard for internal affairs, Brand for the army, and Rosen for patrolling and guarding. Even the maids who managed the Baron Castle, the Viscountess was very familiar with the job, saving Ryan a lot of effort.

Everything is fine except that the food problem becomes more stressful as the population increases.

As expected, the orcs would not disturb the empty tundra territory as before.

However, Ryan gets whatever he wants.

Delen trotted in from outside the door and said in a panic:

"Master Ryan, the patrol guards found traces of the orcs."

In the cold wind of the dark night, Ryan rushed out of the Baron Castle and saw the fire in the distant mountains and forests at a glance.

"What kind of orc tribe is it?"

Delen said from the side:

"The people I arranged didn't dare to get close. According to them, those orcs have horns that look like slender scimitars on their heads, about the length of a forearm."

"It's very dark in the forest, and the orcs have a very keen sense of smell, so they were right not to get close."

"As for this type of orc..."

"There are many orcs with horns on their heads. This description is also close to the Beifeng Province. Isn't it the black goat man orc group?"

Ryan's face looked a little ugly, and he immediately ordered the soldiers around him.

"Let all the fires in the territory be extinguished."

The soldiers hurriedly ran towards the foot of the mountain.

They could see the firelight on the mountain in the distance from Rhinoceros Mountain, but there was a shield at the bottom of Rhinoceros Mountain, so the orcs might not pay attention.

Black goat people, orc tribe.

In many legends, the black goat is synonymous with death and a symbol of evil. Similarly, the black goat people of the orc tribe are equally cruel and evil.

Other orc groups went south because there was not enough food and there were too many orcs. They would only eat people when there was not too much food, but they were still black goat people...

This group of orcs likes to eat humans, especially human babies.

Except for human cubs, they are women with delicate flesh.

In short, the younger they are and the better the maintenance, the more they like it.

However, they are still very powerful and are said to have received blessings from the gods.

Upon hearing Ryan's description, the faces of the viscountess and several maids turned pale.

"Don't be afraid. It's impossible for the Black Goatmen tribe to appear in such a large scale. It's not completely winter yet. Those who appear should be their scout troops."

Ryan's expression was calm. If it didn't work out, he could still take people to hide in another world. With this escape route, he had enough confidence.

…

In fact, Ryan believed that the Black Goatmen did not discover the fire in the Tundra Territory. In fact, they discovered it faster than Delenn discovered them.

Being able to become scouts in the black goat tribe, they are definitely not lacking in professionalism, but... they don't care.

"Brother, there is a human noble's territory here, why don't we rush in and rob it first, it would be perfect if we can find a few children."

A black goat man with black hair and a pair of curved horns said greedily, but just after he finished speaking, he was hit by a huge slap next to him, and several teeth fell out.

"Stupid, don't you know what we are here for?"

After the slap, the taller black goat man pointed at the fire in the distance.

"Do you know where this is?"

"I don't know."

"This is the frozen land, a poor and sour place."

"More than a decade ago, a hyena tribe came to rob here in winter. Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know."

"Stupid, do you know that after the hyenas robbed this place, 30% of the tribesmen starved to death when they returned, and half of the remaining 70% starved to death throughout the winter. The remaining hyenas survived the winter by eating the corpses of their companions."

"From that time on, that tribe became a joke."

"Do you know why our Black Goat Tribe can become the leader who led the orc army to plunder the human province this year?"

"I don't know."

"Stupid, because we have wisdom."

"Wisdom, do you understand wisdom? We can become leaders because we can lead the orc army to rob more food and more cubs than before."

"Do you know what wisdom is?"

"I still don't know, brother. I don't think I'm very smart." The Black Goat Man lowered his head in frustration.

"So I am your captain, and you are just a fool who only knows how to eat."

"Wisdom means that we know where is richer, where we can grab more food, and where we can grab more human cubs."

"Wisdom is amazing."

"Okay, it's good that you know my wisdom. Anyway, we are cautious now, so we can be bold in the future."
