Throne of the North

Politics between nobles are always like this. War breaks out easily and interests are easily compromised.

So when they learned that Baron Lane and Count Sauron were going to mine magic crystal mines together, none of the nobles in the entire North Wind Province were surprised by this incident.

This is too normal. After all, in past history and themselves, this was often the case.

There was a fight between the two sides over a land conflict. After the fight, their interests were compromised. It was possible that the two nobles would teach the blind maid at the banquet that night, fully demonstrating their humility and etiquette.

What only shocked them was that one of the two parties was an earl and the other was a baron. This kind of thing did not exist in history.

And because of this compromise, Master Lane finally had a reason to send a large number of miners and serfs into another world.

A total of two thousand people were sent to the other world, but in the end only one thousand people went to the location of the magic crystal mine.

No one knows that the remaining one thousand people are mining the gold deep underground in the territory circled by Baron Lane.

Count Sauron didn't pay attention to such small things. He was currently thinking about Count Winter's gold mine.

“A gold mine!!!”

Earl Sauron gritted his teeth, he was very jealous.

His own extraordinary legion, the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion, has been going downhill ever since the orcs went south.

This is something that can be seen with the naked eye. Everyone can see that the loss of the Extraordinary Legion that cannot be replenished is the weakness of the Sauron family. Even Count Sauron cannot change everyone's perception of this.

This is also true.

There is a discussion outside that Earl Sauron is old and the Earl family will decline in his hands.

Either of these two points is unacceptable to him. He does not accept his own aging, nor does he accept the decline of the Sauron family because of him.

A large amount of wealth must be obtained to bring the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion back to its peak.

"We must capture that gold mine as soon as possible!"

Earl Sauron found Ryan, and he said this through gritted teeth at the Marquis Mansion in Leiyun County.

Ryan did not refuse immediately, nor was he surprised by the count's arrival.

"I think so too, but Sir Earl, can you and I together deal with the Air Wolf Cavalry?"

Whether in Beifeng Province or in another world, the advantages of the Flying Wolf Cavalry are too great. The advantage brought by the mobility of flight makes it impossible for the army to even make a sneak attack.

"You should be able to do something."

Earl Sauron stared at Ryan with his old eyes.

"You are the most talented military strategist in Beifeng Province. You have won many incredible wars. You must have a way."

Ryan looked at Count Sauron and blinked. I am indeed very young compared to you, but are you lying to a child by saying this?

"My lord, the earl, is joking. How can I possibly deal with the Air Wolf Cavalry?"

Looking at Ryan's expression, Earl Sauron also became cold. He could see that Ryan was indeed not lying.

If you co-author it, you will lose a lot of money?

Earl Sauron does not think that he can win the gold mine by joining forces with other nobles. Earl Winter has always been the most powerful in the North Wind Province. You know, Earl Winter has been the province of North Wind for 30 years. of the Governor.

All rights and the right to speak in the empire are not comparable to local capitulation factions such as Count Sauron and Count Weiss.

A few hours later, Ryan led his soldiers into the alien portal.

Looking at the mountain and forest world in front of him again, he couldn't help but think, is there any way to fight against the Air Wolf Cavalry?

According to his idea, dealing with the Airwolf Cavalry in the mountain world is the best choice, because the bamboo shoot-like peaks here can make it possible for soldiers who cannot fly to come into contact with the Airwolf Cavalry.

And in his opinion, the Airwolf Cavalry can indeed fly, but they will never be able to float in the sky for a long time like griffins. The consumption of their physical strength is destined to take time to land.

Landing is the only way to win.

The problem is here, how to seize that only opportunity.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Ryan was a little helpless. He stood on the mountain forest road and looked at several indigenous people not far away. They threw spears in the gaps in the woods. The spears penetrated the sky in the blink of an eye and pierced the abdomen of an antlered deer that was drinking water.

The blood flow continued, the beast howled, and the other antlered deer around them dispersed in a swarm, leaving only one or two anxious antlered deer circling around the injured one.

It is precisely because of this that the natives harvested three-antlered deer.

"Don't damage the skin. You can change the tool."

The leader of the indigenous people said. When he turned his head, he discovered hundreds of knights reining in their horses silently and staring at this side.

"Lord Baron?"

The natives know Lane, he is a warrior of the Blue Lion tribe.

"I'll collect my things."

Ryan walked towards the Blue Lion Tribe, sent the amber jade and gold mines into the wilderness world, arranged for people to extract the gold, and then returned to the Blue Lion Tribe.

"Are there any flying prey among your hunting targets?"

Ryan asked the leader of the Blue Lion tribe.

The latter thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"The people of the Greyhawk tribe like to weave feathers into clothes, and their leader wears the brightest clothes."

Greyhawk Tribe?

Ryan found the name of this tribe from his memory. They could be said to be the tribe farthest from the army camp that Ryan had found.

In the tribe that lives on the cliff, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled people in the tribe. All men who cannot hunt and women who cannot bear children will be thrown off the cliff. Over time, the bottom of the cliff becomes the canteen of a group of gray vultures.

This has also led to the Gray Eagle tribe being very wealthy, whether in terms of food or combat effectiveness. It can be said that all the people are soldiers.

At the same time, the Gray Eagle Tribe is a scattered tribe. Their tribe has about two thousand people, but they are distributed on five cliffs.

Ryan's relationship with this tribe was not good, because he led his army to burn dry grass and dead wood under the cliff, and let the smoke make the Gray Eagle tribe surrender.

People from that tribe...

In Ryan's view, even without divine blessing, the powerful warriors in the Gray Eagle tribe can rival the barbarian army under Count Weiss.

After thinking about it, Ryan's palm unconsciously fell on the hilt of the sword.

"lead the way."

…

Halfway through, Ryan suddenly had another idea.

"Go to Earl Winter's territory."

Count Winter is secretly digging for gold veins. What is enviable is that this matter has not been exposed for so long because Countess Winter is a powerful space magician.

Her space magic can help Earl Winter's men secretly transport gold mines without being discovered.

Ryan didn't envy this, after all, he had a better way.

This lack of care made him look relaxed when facing the soldiers here.

But compared to Ryan's casualness, Earl Winter's people were very nervous about the arrival of Baron Ryan.

"Baron Lane, why are you here?"

"Lord Hora?"

Ryan was a little surprised. It was not this person who guarded this place before.

His expression was slightly solemn.

"Lord Hora, I also heard about what happened. Please express my condolences."

"Thank you Lord Lane."

In fact, these nobles, including members of the nobles, did not care much about children other than the eldest son. Even if the second son was assassinated by an assassin from the Holy See, Lord Hora was not immersed in pain all day long.

As long as he doesn't meet anyone from the Holy See, he may not remember that a child has died.

The reason why Ryan can feel this feeling is because he is not even a second son. Nobles usually use this method to tell all their heirs that the only heir to the title is the eldest son.

Sometimes Ryan also wonders whether the child's mortality rate is due to medical conditions.

But later I realized that unless the child was stillborn, it would be difficult for the heir of a nobleman to die in infancy.

This is a world with gods and extraordinary beings.

Only poor people die.

"What are you doing here?"

Lord Hora was very wary of Lane, because not long ago part of Count Sauron's magic crystal mine belonged to Baron Lane.

It would be ridiculous if even part of Earl Winter's gold mines belonged to Baron Lane.

"I'm here to borrow troops."

Ryan said sincerely:

"I want to deal with the Gray Eagle tribe. As you know, Lord Hora, those natives have always been disobedient."

"I want to hunt a flying monster, and I need the help of the Gray Eagle Tribe. But to deal with the Gray Eagle Tribe, I want to borrow your Air Wolf Cavalry."

Lord Hora hesitated and wanted to refuse the matter.

"This matter won't break out too much war. If an Airwolf Cavalry dies, I will compensate Earl Winter with a thousand gold coins."

"If a hundred of them die, I will pay three thousand gold coins for each Airwolf Cavalry."

The Extraordinary Legion is the biggest trump card in the hands of the nobles. The Airwolf Cavalry can even be used to fight the dragon regardless of the cost. Each one is very precious. In Ryan's guess, a thousand gold coins should be slightly higher than the Airwolf Cavalry. cost.

This price may not necessarily make Lord Hora agree, but what Ryan needs is to use this kind of language to tell Lord Hora that there will be no serious war during this trip.

"After the event is completed, I will give Lord Hora five hundred gold coins as a reward."

An ordinary baron, before the birth of the Lordship System, had an annual income of only two to three thousand gold coins. This was still relatively wealthy, assuming there were resources in the territory.

So five hundred gold coins is a huge amount of wealth.

Don't forget that Hora is now not only the commander of the extraordinary army under the earl, he is also a lord.

He already has his own industry.

To have an industry, you need...money.

"The natives are no match for the Airwolf Cavalry."

Thinking of this, Lord Hora looked at Ryan and nodded in agreement.

"Seven hundred gold coins, not even one Airwolf Cavalry can die."

"I'll try my best, but I can only guarantee that the second Airwolf Cavalry will not die."

Ryan said this, the deal was concluded, and soon hundreds of Airwolf Cavalry appeared in front of Ryan.

…

"Captain Luke, we meet again."

Ryan was a little surprised. It was a soldier he knew who had served as a messenger for the nobles in the war between Iron Mountain County and Viscount Hogg.

"Lord Baron Lane."

Luke addressed him respectfully. He did not have the power of a Sky Knight from Hora, nor did he have the title of a nobleman. When facing Ryan, he was a little cautious.

"Ahead is the territory of the Gray Eagle Tribe. How do you think Captain Luke can make them surrender?"

Ryan stood in the gap between several large rocks and looked at the gray-white peaks in front of him without many trees and soil.

This place is a corner of the mountain world, with peaks made of gray-white stones. Even getting water is troublesome and needs to be intercepted from the gaps in the rocks.

Moreover, you can see far away at a glance.

"You can use grass and wood to burn it and smoke it."

Captain Luke said that this was a way to stop Ryan, so he couldn't help but smile after finishing speaking.

"If you want to kill them, this is a good way, but what I need now is the power of the Gray Eagle tribe."

"So, it's up to you, the Airwolf Cavalry, to give it a try."

For soldiers, fighting is instinct, and Ryan's instructions did not arouse the suspicion of the Airwolf Cavalry.

Quickly, a hundred flying wolf cavalry took off into the air, flapping their wings, and the wolf cavalry flew towards the cave on the cliff.

…

"Those damn alien invaders are here again!"

"They actually sent the army over!"

"Unforgivable, the gods will eat them."

"Where's the leader, what should we do?"

Amidst the commotion, the leader of the Gray Eagle Tribe, Eagle, made a decision.

"Do you think the Gray Eagle Tribe has any way to deal with them?"

Standing on the big rock, Ryan looked at the movement in the sky in the distance. The Airwolf Cavalry had approached the Gray Eagle Tribe's cave, about fifteen meters away. They were also cautious and would not rush in hastily.

Just when Captain Luke was about to say something, hundreds of figures appeared in the dark caves, and they threw what they had in their hands.

"Is that... a fishing net?"

Ryan saw that the natives of the Gray Eagle Tribe threw out large nets. If it were not for the distance, all the Airwolf Cavalry would be caught in the net at this moment. Look at the toughness of the big net. Once caught, the consequences would be disastrous. .

Even so, several Airwolf Cavalrymen who were unable to make it in time were still in trouble. The one-horned Airwolf's wings were wide, and once caught in the net, they quickly lost their levitation power and fell downwards.

Fortunately, the height was not too high, and the knight on the back of the flying wolf used a long sword to tear the big net apart. Only one of the fallen unicorn flying wolves was unlucky and struggled on the ground with broken bones.

But this was not the end. The natives in the cave above their heads took out the barrels one by one and threw them into the air. Then other natives held stones in their hands and instantly hit the barrels. .

The milky white liquid exploded, making Ryan's eyes light up in the distance.

"gum?"

He laughed, finding a way to deal with the Air Wolf Cavalry.

"Let them come back. I will pay for every death of the master."

The purpose of borrowing seven hundred gold coins from the Flying Wolf Cavalry has been achieved.
