Throne of the North

"Baron Lane, the royal family will not deprive any noble of his title."

"Their titles were born from their ancestors who made great contributions to the empire. Even if the descendants do something wrong, they cannot erase the contributions of their ancestors."

"The eldest son of Earl Weiss can still live a good life on the west coast as a wandering noble."

Ryan nodded confusedly and said:

"So that's it."

"In this case, you can't even take away the land of those nobles, because that is the land that Earl Weiss used to mortgage to the nobles after the defeat of the war."

"Since the title of Earl Weiss is still there, then all the transactions he made must be effective."

"Yeah yeah."

Other nobles also echoed that if this matter could be resolved, these nobles would be able to feel at ease today.

Marquis Beifeng laughed and patted Ryan on the shoulder.

"Ryan, you are not a noble from the south, so you are not very clear about the rights, responsibilities, and rules between nobles. This is normal. After all, in Beifeng Province, many nobles were not from the empire."

"There is a law in the empire, a law recognized by the gods, that is, all noble territories are given by the great ancestor Columbus."

"When a noble in the empire betrays the empire, the royal family has the right to take back all the land given to it."

"The war between Count Weiss and you is undoubtedly a betrayal of the empire. He has surrendered to the blasphemous Holy See. Therefore, the royal family has the right to take back all the land of Count Weiss."

Ryan's expression did not change. This is the so-called final interpretation power that belongs to the empire and the royal family.

Of course, the premise is that the matter of Count Weiss is indeed a betrayal to the empire and all the nobles of the empire.

But at this moment, the faces of other nobles turned pale. They also knew this, but they didn't know that Marquis Beifeng would use this to veto the wealth they gained from victory in the war.

Land is the lifeblood of the nobles, so they are a little anxious.

But at this time, Ryan spoke again.

"Only land?"

"Yes, a noble's most important wealth is the territory given to him by the empire. As long as he does not betray the empire, then the territory is sacred and inviolable."

"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that a war broke out between the empire and the Holy See in the south during this period, the royal family would not have used such cruel laws to take away everything belonging to Earl Weiss. It was true that nobles had betrayed the empire before, but at that time, the royal family still They retained their family’s land, and many years later, some of the descendants of those nobles regained the territory.”

"What Earl Weiss did this time was too serious."

Marquis Beifeng said warningly. He warned all the nobles in front of him not to play any tricks on this matter.

And he, the Marquis of Beifeng, must make use of these lands when he comes to Beifeng Province to give the nobles of the entire province a show of strength.

He wanted all the nobles to understand the price of colluding with the Holy See, as well as his status as Marquis of Beifeng.

"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do."

"But fortunately, the things that Earl Weiss previously compensated me, Earl Winter, and Earl Sauron are not part of these lands."

Ryan said somewhat relaxedly, and Marquis Beifeng also laughed.

"Yes, Ryan, there are some things you can just take, your father and I..."

Then he saw, in front of everyone, Ryan passed the nobles, walked to the other side, and picked up a huge beast's fang.

Marquis Beifeng felt divinity in it.

The moment the fangs were removed, the alien portal on Leiyun Mountain also disappeared.

"That alien world and this divine key are the spoils of war that Earl Weiss paid to me and the two Earls after their defeat in the war. Since Earl Weiss's title has not been deprived, the alien world does not belong to it either. The land of the empire, then, Lord Marquis, please give us a convenience when we come to Leiyun Mountain to enter the alien world."

"After all, this is already your territory, and it's not easy for us nobles to stay here."

…

Bang bang bang!

Krisna hit the solid wood table hard, and several punch marks were dented in the thick table in an instant.

"Ryan! Damn that little guy, he's plotting against me."

"Just like his father, sinister and cunning!"

The marquis was alone in his castle on Thundercloud Hill, furious.

Does he care about the land? He cares. Every noble cares about every inch of his territory. This is their foundation. In fact, he still has something to say before, that is, even if he betrays the empire, the royal family must have the strength to take back that land. A piece of land can be considered recovered.

Otherwise, everything must follow the principle of the sanctity of the nobility's territory.

So does he care about that alien world? More importantly, the biggest reason why his fiefdom is located within a hundred miles of Leiyun Mountain is because the empire now knows that the portal to the alien world is on Leiyun Mountain.

By occupying this place, didn't he become the master of that alien world?

But now, Ryan has taken the key and set him up again and again, making him reveal in his words that the alien world and the divine fang key only belong to the compensation paid to them by Count Weiss after his failure. spoils of war.

Not within the range that the royal family can recover!

…

"This is called retreating to advance."

On the other side, Ryan and other nobles did not actually leave, but stopped at a baron's territory.

Looking at the huge fangs, the nobles couldn't help but admire Ryan's wisdom before.

"This Marquis Beifeng doesn't look that scary."

"But, what are we doing here?"

One noble asked, looking at Ryan. Ryan asked them not to leave for the time being, waiting for other nobles, especially the arrival of the two earls, as if he thought those nobles would definitely come here.

"This is related to the interests of every noble in Beifeng Province. If they are unwilling to come, it proves that they have given up their land here, and then we don't have to help them protect their interests."

"Give it as a gift to the Marquis Beifeng."

"Can we still get our land back?"

One noble's eyes widened and he became excited. He thought that he had no hope in this 100-mile territory and would be occupied by the Marquis Beifeng.

Fortunately, this was also robbed, not his real territory, so he was not too angry.

In fact, it was because we got the land too soon.

Ryan pointed to the huge fangs not far away.

"Do you think we can stop the Marquis from developing the other world with us?"

"This..."

The nobles thought about it and shook their heads.

This is difficult. The Marquis came to the North Wind Province so early, probably for the other world.

"Now this other world belongs to us. Since we can't eat alone, let's take a step back and give the Marquis a chance. As a reward, shouldn't the Marquis give us something in return?"

"Use the land that originally belonged to us to repay us, what do you think?"

"Okay!"

A viscount clapped his legs and laughed, and Ryan shook his head secretly.

These nobles are happy to exchange the land that originally belonged to them for the qualification to enter the other world?
