Throne of the North

The difference between trainee knights and ordinary people is the years of training, but an army composed of a hundred well-trained trainee knights can defeat ten times the number of enemies.

What's more, most of Ryan's attendants are formal knights.

The breathing method makes them stronger. Even if they face sharp spears, the knight's sword in their hands can cut them off smoothly.

The charge of the war horses along the river was devastating. Many soldiers even jumped into the river out of fear of the cavalry and disappeared in the turbulent waves.

In less than thirty minutes, Ryan was already standing in the middle of the mess, looking down at the knights kneeling in front of him.

"Tell me, why do you appear in my territory?"

Ryan asked calmly. The kneeling knight did not dare to raise his head, his eyes flickering.

He absolutely cannot tell the truth.

In fact, it is not a rare thing that wars break out between nobles. Many times, because of land and money, it is very common for nobles to start wars with each other.

It would be fine if he was a noble, but he is not, so once one of the two things, land or money, is involved, he will definitely die.

"I, we entered the alien plane on the order of the Marquis to protect the Marquis's territory."

"Just...just passed by here."

"oh?"

Ryan laughed and said:

"You happened to stay in my land? And, you stayed for so long?"

When he was talking, there were soldiers beside him carrying a large animal skin bag from the ruins. When he opened it, the golden light made Ryan sure.

"It seems that I did not kill by mistake."

The knight finally despaired and shouted:

"Baron Ryan, you can't kill me. I am Earl Sauron's attendant, and I am the Earl's knight!"

"I don't want to either, but the value of gold mines is really too high."

Ryan's sword fell, and the knight beheaded.

Indeed, the value of the gold mine is really scary. Once it is exposed, all the nobles in the entire Beifeng Province will flock to it. No one will care about the face of the nobles. After all, even if it is a small gold mine, if it can be completely The value of mining it is at least one million gold coins.

Ryan didn't want to be exposed and didn't dare to be exposed. He didn't even dare to mine on a large scale. He could only use the indigenous people to dig.

In the history he was familiar with, there were countless wars that broke out because of mines, resources, and wealth, and some could even develop into a war that would destroy a country.

There are not a few aristocratic conflicts that break out every year in the North Wind Province due to iron ore, and iron ore can be said to be the lowest value mineral vein in the North Wind Province.

If it is a silver mine, it will arouse the greed of all nobles, and the value of the gold mine will definitely detonate all conflicts and war potential.

"All taken care of!"

The murderous intent in Ryan's eyes had not completely dissipated. This was the first time that the soldiers saw their lord's eyes like this. They lowered their heads one by one, tied the bodies with stones and threw them into the river, and then buried the entire camp with earth and rocks.

The investigation methods of the nobles were already very rough. In addition, this was still a different world. If Count Sauron investigated later, he would not be able to find out that the entire army was wiped out here.

It's just... Ryan didn't put his hope in the so-called evidence.

Nobles praise their own glory and splendor, and every word they say to the outside world tells the story of their noble and just character. However, as the pinnacle of power, how can nobility be so bright and just?

Count Sauron may never find evidence, but he can guess who in another world has the ability to kill an army of up to five hundred?

Baron Lane's name must be at the top of the list.

Even the fact that this army appeared in the territory circled by Ryan was probably because Count Sauron suspected that it was Ryan who had robbed the magic crystal mine before, because he brought a hundred extremely elite knights and attendants with him.

This power is enough.

They came to look for the lost magic crystal mine, because at the location of the portal, Ryan's team did not find the magic crystal brought out. As a result, by some mistake, gold ore was discovered.

The value of magic crystals and gold mines. After all, the former has a relatively single function. It is difficult to tell who is higher and who is lower in the same amount. But the problem is that it is difficult to equate the quantities. No matter how small the scale of the gold mine is, it is higher than the magic crystal. The veins are much richer.

"Count Sauron will never let go of the death of five hundred people. If he doesn't want to bring the matter to light, he can only fight in an alien world."

"I don't know if he has the courage."

Ryan laughed. In this mountain world, the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion in the hands of Count Sauron is greatly reduced.

Ryan found the leader of the Blue Lion Tribe. This indigenous leader had already been shocked by the fighting power of Ryan's soldiers and was a little scared at the moment.

"Tell your tribe that no one is allowed to tell what happened today, otherwise, I will deal with you."

Ryan threatened and said calmly:

"Tao, maybe you don't know yet, but your world only has a few years left to live. You have lived here for many years, and there are many old people in your tribe, so you should know it very well."

"The white plague in the north is eroding the mountains and forests where you are every year, isn't it? The winter is getting faster and faster, and will soon submerge the mountains and forests where your tribe is, and everything will die in the cold."

"There are only a few years left in this time."

"You will only have two choices left at that time, either die in this world or leave here and live in a safe place."

The native population of the forest world is still not small. Population is also a resource for the nobles. The more people there are, the faster the development will be. Even if they only rely on farming, more people will plant more fields.

Every noble has a large amount of wasteland in their territory, so there is no need to worry about insufficient land.

If these natives don't want to die, they will eventually enter the North Wind Province and become the subjects of the nobles. How to choose at that time will become a difficult problem.

Ryan reminded Cao, just to make these natives more peaceful, and they may become his subjects in the future.

"You should think about the future of your tribe."

Ryan left here with his attendants and headed towards the territory of Earl Sauron. Since he had decided, he couldn't waste the magic crystal mine in Earl Sauron's hands.

Boom! ! !

There are still flat lands in the forests. If it is just an ordinary warhorse, it may be very troublesome, but the northern warhorse is an extraordinary species.

This time Ryan no longer hid. When the army arrived, the slaves and guards in the mines were completely panicked.

The soldiers knew Baron Ryan.

So, after a short resistance, several knights died, and the remaining soldiers all surrendered.

This was the reputation and prestige Ryan had gained in the previous wars.

"From now on, you are all my slaves!"

Ryan waved his hand and changed the ownership of everyone to himself.

The slaves were numb to this. They were slaves who were traded at will as part of the wealth, and the soldiers were a little scared, but they did not dare to resist.

In order to survive, people's bottom line can really change constantly.

...

In the next few days, Ryan stayed in the magic crystal mine, watching everyone start to mine the magic crystal mine most efficiently. On the last day, all the mined magic crystal mines were sent to Swadifari.

"Take all these slaves to the Blue Lion Tribe and arrange for them to chop wood and quarry stones."

Ryan knew that everything he did here had too many traces and could not be concealed for too long. In this case, it would be a pity to kill these slaves. They were also a great fortune.

"Kill all the trainee knights among those soldiers!"

Ryan waved his hand, and the last batch of possible traitors were all cleared. As a soldier, not every soldier was qualified to swear allegiance to Earl Sauron, but the trainee knights who were treated favorably by the noble lords must be loyal to their lords.

Why?

Not to mention that the spirit of chivalry has not been broken, just one point is enough.

These people must live better in Earl Sauron's territory than in Baron Ryan's territory.

As soldiers loyal to Earl Sauron, they can become trainee knights. While being loyal to the lord, the lord also gives them money, power, houses, land, and beautiful women. Over time, the blood of these people has even formed a small family in the territory, rather than a simple family unit.

In this case, how could they not be loyal to Earl Sauron?

If they turned their backs and pledged allegiance to Baron Ryan, they would lose all these things. How could they be more loyal to Baron Ryan?

They were already the powerful class in the earldom, so there was no possibility for them to betray. On the contrary, the risk of ordinary soldiers and slaves who were obviously malnourished was much smaller.

Ordinary soldiers were recruited from their families. In many cases, they had to prepare their own weapons and food. Slaves did not even have the qualifications to be loyal. Their value units were measured in gold, silver, or even copper coins, which was a kind of tradable wealth.

Therefore, their loyalty to Earl Sauron was not absolute, and it would not even be very high. This made it possible for them to become Baron Ryan's subjects.

…

Walking out of the plane gate again, the soldiers were stained with a lot of evil spirits, so that other noble teams around them did not dare to get too close.

As always, Ryan's personal guards and attendants did not gain anything. Only the slaves and civilians of the frozen land territory passed through the plane gate with a large amount of firewood. More than one noble had laughed at Baron Ryan's short-sightedness. The value of each opening of the plane gate was not even a fraction of the firewood.

This is indeed the case. With the outbreak of conflicts between some nobles, the mineral resources in the mountain forest world were made public. There were many more vehicles transporting ore in the noble team that passed through the plane gate.

The nobles have begun to cash in the land resources of the other plane world on a large scale and send them back to the North Wind Province.

Ryan watched for a long time on Thunder Cloud Mountain and found that many teams were stained with blood. Obviously, their journey was not peaceful.

"Return to the frozen land territory and bring another 300 soldiers over."

Ryan handed the baron ring on his hand to a centurion. There was no need to worry about the loyalty of this silver knight from the Clayton family.

Not surprisingly, on the third day in Thundercloud Mountain, Ryan was questioned by Count Sauron.

The Badley Sky Knight led the soldiers to Thundercloud County. If he had not communicated with Marquis Beifeng in advance, the governor of the province would have suspected that Count Sauron was going to start a war with him.

"Baron Ryan, the honorable Count Sauron asked me to ask you why you want to start a noble war?"

Ryan looked at Knight Badley with a puzzled look.

"Knight Badley, what are you doing? What do you mean? What is Earl Sauron going to do?"

His expression was blank, and the Marquis of the North Wind next to him couldn't help but look at Knight Badley in confusion.

What happened?

Knight Badley took a deep breath, and the powerful knight's spirit enveloped him, and his voice was full of chill.

"Baron Ryan, you killed hundreds of soldiers belonging to Earl Sauron in the other dimension world. This incident will be regarded by the Sauron family as a war to the death!"

"This is a provocation to the Sauron family and to Lord Earl Sauron."

Ryan turned his head and looked at the Marquis of the North Wind.

"Governor, I think Earl Sauron is not a great noble who casually frames a noble. Maybe there are things we don't know about it."

The Governor of the North Wind Province has the power and naturally has the obligation to regulate the conflicts between the nobles. The royal family of the empire knows what the nobles in the empire are like, and noble wars are not rare.

Marquis of the North Wind coughed and finally got serious.

"Knight Badley, do you have evidence to prove that Baron Ryan slaughtered the army of Earl Sauron?"

When asking this question, Marquis Beifeng felt a little absurd.

A baron, killing the army of the earl?

"Among the nobles who entered the other world last time, only Baron Ryan had the strength to kill the army of the earl."

Knight Badley raised his head and said, he came on behalf of Earl Sauron, and his status was not inferior to others.

"So, there is no evidence?"

Ryan snorted coldly, stood up and scolded Knight Badley.

"Knight, you'd better know what you are talking about. Slandering a noble noble, your best outcome is to be exiled to the plane of death."

"I come on behalf of Earl Sauron, the noble Earl noble, to respond to the war you provoked, Baron Ryan."

"I will enter the other plane to find evidence, and I will not come out for a short time."

Badley left a word and led an army of thousands of soldiers through the plane gate.

Ryan was a little angry and looked at Marquis Beifeng.

"Governor, he actually dared to threaten me, he threatened me!"

"Baron Ryan, calm down, he definitely wouldn't dare to kill a noble, even in another world."
