Throne of the North

(Four thousand words)

"You said I killed your army?"

"No...no."

"You said your army died on my land?"

"That's not your land."

"What do you mean? You actually invaded my land. I have reason to suspect that the wealth you got from the other plane world before was robbed of my land wealth!"

Ryan questioned the five lords in front of him loudly, making the lords who wanted to question Ryan retreat continuously.

"Do you guys really understand the castle law between nobles?"

"That is my wealth. You actually secretly plundered my wealth. This is war, understand, war!"

Ryan kicked a lord to the ground with one foot, very thoughtful, and the two lords of the Meyers family were not so embarrassed.

The lords had just arrived in the North Wind Province and had not yet experienced the local customs and customs here. There were many reasons why they were arrogant.

For example, their identities were canonized by the royal family and they had the identity of bright pioneers, but the latter was useless. For the nobles of the empire, they all considered themselves pioneers.

The former? Whether it makes sense or not is two-faced.

His master Ryan was also a baron of the fiefdom who was personally crowned by the emperor.

In terms of background, his master Ryan also has a great noble in the south, which is no worse than these guys, and even much better.

In terms of title, he is still a baron.

The biggest reason for these guys is that after the fall of Earl Weiss, the nobles of the North Wind Province began to follow the two earls and deepen their ties with the nobles in the south, such as the recent marriage.

Therefore, when facing these lords' descendants, the nobles of the North Wind Province did not say anything. The alternate world is very large, and most of the land they have circled has not even been developed by themselves, so they just turned a blind eye.

In general, it is a demand relationship. The nobles of the North Wind Province weave their own family's spider web between demand and the southern nobles.

So, they took care of these lords a little bit.

But Baron Ryan doesn't need these. He is the heir of a great noble in the south, and his noble network is connected to the Earl Clayton family.

This is a blood connection, not a simple marriage.

So, why should he take care of these lords who were born out of political struggles?

With a kick, Ryan's current strength was surprisingly strong, and the lord rolled on the ground twice.

"You dare to slander a baron. I think you haven't adapted to the status of aristocrats. Why did the royal family crown you rubbish with noble titles?"

Most of the political struggles cannot be put on the surface, but Ryan's direct questioning of the royal family still shocked these lords.

Ryan sneered in his heart as he watched this scene. Sure enough, these guys didn't adapt to this status, maybe they were just cannon fodder.

No wonder they didn't feel sorry for dying.

The first rule of political struggles between imperial nobles, nobles questioning the royal family, is not a rare thing.

Otherwise, the royal family is all-powerful, so how can there be such a thing as political struggle.

Teacher Ryan, who taught these guys a lesson, was a little unkind.

"Without any evidence, you framed a noble. I can send you to jail and let the nobles behind you redeem you."

There is still a gap between the lords and the fifth-class nobles.

These lords did not have any evidence, but they came to question Ryan after they found that the target of suspicion was not the one.

...

Windfall, especially windfall without consequences, is a great joy for anyone.

For the nobles of the North Wind Province, the wealth brought by the war is windfall, and similarly, the discovery of the alternate world is also a windfall.

When there were no other conflicts and topics in the North Wind Province, the alternate world became the center of everyone's attention.

The fact that Ryan taught several lords a lesson naturally spread quickly, and at the same time, it also made the nobles begin to examine their various decisions in the alternate world.

As for the handling of windfall, since it was not a big deal to get it, it didn't matter if I gave some of it away to win over the relationship in the south.

Anyway, I picked up the wealth, it was easy to come by, and it was naturally easy to spend.

In this incident, the nobles of Beifeng naturally had connections with some nobles in the south, and the spider web of the noble circle had begun to spread.

However, as time went on, after the nobles developed their original places, they would of course choose to go to new places to develop when they had no wealth.

For a time, because of the previous generosity, it became the most direct contradiction.

Originally, I allowed you to hunt in the place I circled, but now the place I developed has no precious wealth, and I want to change places.

You also want to change places, and we chose the same place?

Okay, your side, my side, anyway, this piece of land is big enough, and we have enough space for two or three hundred people.

But you actually found a mineral vein and didn’t tell me! ?

"The dignity of the Carlo family cannot be desecrated!"

"For the glory of Donal!"

The soldiers fought in the mountains and forests, the knights' long swords slashed through the opponent's armor, and the spears pierced the throats that were not strong. On the land where the mine had not yet formed, the soldiers could only calm down and fear death after the blood.

Baron Lane still hasn't left Thunder Cloud Mountain, and his exchange with the legendary knight Mulan cleared the air for him about his own path to knighthood.

So, he also waited for the angry nobles from both sides.

"What the hell? Are you fighting over a copper mine?"

Lane expressed shock, then some anger.

"Baron Carlo, have you forgotten something? After the victory in the war, the right to own the other world and all the wealth belonged to each of our nobles."

"Even if it is a stone, it is only fair to distribute it to all the nobles. But before, no one cared about their gains."

"But mineral veins are different. Huge raw materials mined from a mineral vein must belong to every noble."

Ryan's question made Baron Carlo a little embarrassed.

"My soldiers only discovered it a few days ago, and we haven't had time to tell the nobles yet."

Ryan looked to the other side.

"Lord Donnell, according to the original victory, that land belongs to Baron Carroll. Why did your army invade his territory?"

"What is his territory? The alien world belongs to every Beifeng noble. I am also a noble. I have the right to develop the alien world."

"The wealth I get belongs to me."

Ryan nodded.

"That's true, but this alien world is the property of us nobles after the victory. You heard what I just said. That copper mine belongs to every noble in Beifeng Province."

"It's not just you."

Ryan slowly took out a scroll.

"Come, let's see what percentage of this copper mine belongs to me."

"I won't argue with you for the part of my wealth you stole before."

——

Under the blinded eyes of the two nobles, Ryan successfully witnessed his 6% ownership of the copper mine.

"The two earls each occupy 10%. I don't know if they care about this."

Ryan put away the scroll, looked at the two nobles in front of him, and said seriously.

"In order to practice the noble moral character of the nobles, the people I authorized will contact you soon and will be responsible for supervising all output from that copper mine."

After Ryan finished speaking, he walked outside. He was originally there to watch the fun.

"Wait a minute, Baron Lane, this is our mineral..."

"It does not belong to you, but to the nobles of the entire Beifeng Province."

Lane corrected.

Behind them, the two nobles looked at each other, somewhat angry.

"Baron Lane, if resources are found on your land, does it also belong to all nobles?"

Lord Donnel said that he was originally here to take advantage of the alien world, and of course he didn't care about who the mineral vein was supposed to belong to.

"certainly."

"But you may have to wait a little longer. My people are just chopping firewood in the alien plane and haven't looked for mineral veins yet."

"This winter may be extremely cold, so you might as well harvest some firewood to prepare."

Who cares about that bit of garbage.

The Lord was very angry inside.

"Then your firewood also belongs to every noble!"

Ryan turned his head, blinked, and laughed.

"Okay, every beast hunted by all the nobles from the other world should be divided according to proportion."

"I don't know if I can still vomit what I've eaten."

Only real estate can be divided up. For example, mineral veins require everyone to join forces to build mines and arrange slaves to mine. It is difficult for one family to do it alone. Is this Lord so stupid?

I really thought that when I came to Beifeng Province, I would dominate and become a master. The simple and honest folk customs here are not only reflected in the people at the bottom.

If the value of gold mines and amber jade were not so great, Ryan would have called a large number of people to develop the veins together.

For things like copper mines, real wealth must be obtained as quickly as possible.

The alien world only has a lifespan of ten years, so where can they wait and play slowly.

Ryan blessed those natives, and after becoming extraordinary, the natives will develop gold mines faster.

…

Facts have proved that when there are more participants in the alien world, the meaning of that contract is, to a certain extent, a piece of waste paper.

Baron Lane wants 6% of every mine in just a few words?

What were you thinking? Baron Carroll summoned his army. How could he make his mines public?

Even Lord Donnell's soldiers were driven away. It's funny. Have the soldiers coming from the south experienced fighting? The current army of soldiers in Beifeng Province are all veterans who have survived blood and fire.

"This mine belongs to my Carroll family!"

The Baron refused to give up any ground, and the value of this windfall was too great. Even if it was difficult for him alone, he could not easily hand it over to others.

As this matter progressed, many resource conflicts were discovered throughout the alien world.

For a time, Beifeng Province was once again at war with each other.

"It seems that after the value of the windfall exceeds expectations, the nobles will no longer be harmonious."

Ryan smiled. Fortunately, there are not many mineral veins in the mountain world, and only seven or eight have been discovered. Even if there are still some hidden, they will not be as numerous as the iron mines in Beifeng Province.

The problem is... half of the eight mine veins that have been disclosed are magic crystal veins.

"These magic crystal mines are the last struggle of that world. At present, it seems that the struggle has little meaning. On the contrary, it has given the nobles an advantage."

After communicating with the Mulan Knight again, this legendary knight gave his own opinion. He had traveled to other better alien worlds and had a lot of experience.

"The magic crystal mine seems to be a medium-sized and large-scale magic crystal mine. No noble in Beifeng Province will give up."

"The great nobles in the south behind those lords should also support a group of forces. Some of the gains gained by the lord in the other world should be sent to those great nobles."

"The royal family will also get involved, and the two earls and Marquis Beifeng also need a lot of wealth."

"Looking at it this way, war in another world is inevitable."

Ryan peeled off the cocoon and could already see the bloody chaos in the alien world.

A few days later, Lion saw the arrival of Earl Sauron's army on Thundercloud Mountain.

Obviously, after the earl learned about the previous plunder in the dark, he had already reacted.

"Let me find you something else to do."

Ryan was smiling and murmuring softly.

That night, during the gathering of nobles, Ryan mentioned it casually.

"Lord Earl Sauron's army seems to have arrived at Thunder Cloud Mountain today. I wonder why?"

"I heard that the count's slaves were attacked by natives in another world and suffered heavy losses."

One baron said that there is a circle among the nobles. With Ryan's rise, there will naturally be some nobles around him who are willing to listen to his plans.

Of course, these nobles are not completely loyal to his side. They are one circle now. When Ryan is away, the nobles can also be another circle.

"Are the natives attacking? That group of natives can even step on the Lord from the south. Why do we need so many soldiers?"

Ryan smiled and shook his head, his smile thought-provoking.

Two more days passed, and the portal to another world opened, and Ryan entered it again with one hundred of his attendants.

Walking among the mountains and forests, Ryan's eyes became cold, and there was no longer the hypocrisy among nobles.

A large number of soldiers had invaded his territory.

"Find them out."

The war horses shuttled back and forth and soon arrived at the Green Lion Tribe. Soon after, dozens of indigenous warriors disappeared into the forest and brought back the news in the evening.

"Lord Baron, the natives discovered Count Sauron's soldiers by the river."

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked after a long time:

"Last time the Blue Lion Tribe said they threw my things into the river, did they pick them all back up?"

The soldiers left for the natives and returned a moment later.

"Not yet. The natives said they couldn't get far into the river and only got half of it back."

Ryan took a deep breath, placed his palm on the hilt of the knight's sword, and then slowly drew out the weapon.

"Tell me how many there are."

The rivers are roaring and surging. In this barbaric world, big rivers themselves represent danger. This river that runs through almost the entire mountain and forest world nourishes all the indigenous people on both sides of the river and the beasts in the mountains and forests.

It was also relatively flat here, so when the iron hooves of the war horses trampled on the land, the troops stationed by the river were extremely panicked.

"Kill them all!"

Reining his horse and smashing the simple fence, Ryan raised the flaming knight's sword high and slashed across the chest of a knight. Hundreds of attendants behind him swarmed past his position, instantly flooding the entire camp.
