Throne of the North

Ryan's words made the two nobles frown subconsciously.

"You take 10%, and the Marquis, Earl Winter and I will each take 30%."

That's right, even if they win in the end, this gold mine will definitely belong to Earl Winter.

Because they can't kill Earl Winter like Earl Weiss.

"10%, it's a lot."

Ryan nodded in approval. 10% of the gold mine here is worth at least 100,000 or 200,000 gold coins.

"But, isn't it right? All three of you take 30%?"

"Are you dissatisfied?"

The Marquis of Beifeng snorted coldly. In his opinion, only 30% is too little. According to the previous plan of the two, each of them took 50% of the gold mine.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied. I think it's Earl Winter who is dissatisfied, and the other nobles in Beifeng Province are also dissatisfied."

Ryan said with a smile.

...

Earl Winter's territory.

"Master, Madam, the portal to the other world is open today, but Lord Hora did not come out."

A servant knelt in front of Earl Winter and said, asking the Earl to put down the silver cutlery in his hand, his face gloomy.

"What's going on."

"No... I don't know yet."

"All the nobles' armies have not come out of the other world. People in the Marquis's mansion said that Baron Ryan encountered trouble in the other world and needed the help of the nobles' armies."

"Ryan?"

The Countess of Winter next to him asked:

"What dangers can he encounter in the other world?"

"Did he find the divine beast?"

Regarding Baron Ryan's frequent entry into the other world, the nobles saw it in their eyes and thought about it in their hearts, and they were all guessing what he was doing in it. After all, every time he went in, he would not bring out any precious treasures.

No one could answer the Countess's question, and as a magician, the Countess would not think too much, but Earl Winter would think a lot.

"Madam, maybe it's not the divine beast, but our gold mine has been exposed."

Count Winter said, he saw the cat-man assassin coming out of the shadow at the door.

"Master, Count Sauron's eldest son, Feder Sauron, is not in the earl's territory."

"We can't enter the earl's castle."

Hearing this, Count Winter had a bad feeling.

"Madam, contact Hora."

Hearing Count Winter's words, the Countess nodded, and the next moment she appeared in the Mage Tower. Soon, the magic factor in the surrounding void boiled and enveloped a huge shell on the top of the Mage Tower.

"Madam, Lord Earl, our gold mine has been discovered!"

"Count Sauron, Marquis Beifeng, and Baron Ryan attacked us, we can only leave..."

The angry voice of Lord Hora came from the shell, which was not real-time, but the voice left by Lord Hora.

After receiving the news, Count Winter twisted the silver cup in his hand, and sneered after a long time.

"I knew this group of people had set their sights on my gold mine!"

"They are no match for the Flying Wolf Cavalry."

The Countess said that now that the gold mine was lost, her magic practice would also be affected.

"No, I'm not worried about Muir and the Governor, but Ryan."

"He is best at winning outside of battle. If the Wolf Cavalry suffers too much loss, we will lose even if we win."

Earl Winter stood up and put on his earl's robe.

"I'm going to contact other nobles."

Earl Winter was still very wary of the three nobles' alliance. Since the gold mine had been exposed, it was impossible to conceal it anymore, so let everyone get involved.

He had made up his mind that his share of the gold mine must not be less than 50%.

As for the remaining 50%, he also had a way to get it back.

That is, there were mineral veins in the territories of other nobles. Every noble who shared his gold mine must give a portion of the mineral veins in his territory to Earl Winter.

The amount does not need to be too large, but if added together, it can barely make up for the half of the gold mine he lost.

This is the exchange and compromise of interests, and it is also the talent and acumen of Earl Winter for politics.

A few days later, the portal to the other dimension in Thundercloud County still did not open.

"They are going to dig out the gold mine!"

It is difficult to dig out a vein without a few years.

But what if... there are extraordinary knights involved?

How powerful are thousands of dragon blood warriors? The armor and weapons on their bodies add up to more than 200 kilograms, which means that they can completely swing things of 100 or 200 kilograms.

Ordinary miner slaves need to use tools when facing dozens of kilograms or 100 kilograms of stones, how can they compare with the extraordinary.

As for the noble status of the extraordinary knights, why don't they work as miners?

The profit of the gold mine is above all else.

In fact, it is true.

The dragon blood warriors in leather armor took off their armor, and the ore that was taller than a person was lifted up and ran.

"It's not appropriate to use all the warriors to carry ore?"

Ryan hesitated, but the Marquis of the North Wind had no scruples.

"The Flying Wolf Cavalry dare not attack us."

After saying that, he looked at Ryan.

"Let your soldiers go in too. More time will allow us to dig out more gold."

"Forget it. They have other things to do."

Just as Ryan finished speaking, several knight attendants not far away came over with a huge wheelbarrow.

"Master, it has been made."

Ryan nodded and looked down.

"Give it to them to see the effect."

If it is just an ordinary person, then the wheelbarrow will naturally not be so big, but if it is used by a knight, there is no need to consider so much.

With great strength, the wheelbarrow is also big.

With the blessing of suitable tools, the speed of gold mining has increased a lot.

But knights are different from miners after all. They will not work for too long. Even if the knights have no complaints about mining gold, the nobles will not let them mine for too long.

Two more days passed, and Ryan guessed that the ore dug out could be smelted into 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins.

"It depends on whether Marquis Beifeng can withstand the pressure from outside."

Ryan thought in his heart, but then he thought about it and felt that it was not right. Marquis Beifeng himself stayed here and did not go out. What pressure could the Marquis's mansion outside have?

I don't know what reason this person used to prevaricate the nobles outside and not open the door.

Another day has come, and the golden ore makes everyone pleasing to the eye, even if only the nobles own the ownership of these gold mines.

The mine rarely had sharp and piercing roars from supervisors, because the only supervisor here was the Earl's heir, Feder, and the people below were all knights. Who dared to be rude to them?

"Otherworld nobles."

A native of the Grey Eagle tribe came to Ryan's side, and said in a low but still loud voice:

"There are no birds in the surrounding woods."

"If there are no birds..."

Ryan suddenly reacted halfway through his words and pulled out the knight's long sword held by the servant behind him.

"Brand, recall the army."

"Everyone take up arms immediately!"

His voice resounded loudly in the mine with the blessing of blood, but just as the voice fell, a large number of unicorn flying wolves flew out from a mountain in the east and rushed towards the mine.

At a glance, the number was more than the previous five or six hundred.

"I knew that the space sanctuary magician must have a way to anchor this other world plane and open the space gate."

How long has the other world plane been discovered? The countess has also come in. Since she came in, is it possible that she did nothing?

She must have left some medium or anchoring power.

In Exner, Ryan had heard that several great wizards in the Crucible City tried their best to break through the Holy Land, because after the Holy Land, they could cross the plane time and stay away from the dying winter world.

Regardless of the cost, at least the Holy Land is the minimum standard and condition.

In the mine, the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Warrior Corps were terrified by the sudden war, and they all lost their positions at once, and hurriedly ran towards the camp, where they had their weapons and equipment and armor to defend against the Flying Wolf Cavalry.

"Don't wear armor, don't wear armor, just take weapons!"

Ryan had already arrived at the mine, and the burning knight's sword in his hand brought a blazing majesty. After hesitating, the soldiers gritted their teeth and gave up the armor.

Wearing armor has never been a simple thing. The armor of the Dragon Blood Warrior Corps is not even something that one person can wear alone, and it takes longer.

If they were attacked when they were halfway through wearing it, the scene would be unimaginable.

Count Sauron was also a little panicked at this moment. The Dragonblood Warrior Corps was the last trump card of the Sauron family and could not afford to lose it. He also shouted at Ryan at this moment.

"Baron Ryan, what about the solution you said?"

"Still on the way!"

Ryan stared at the flying wolf cavalry flying down from the sky with indifference. The time was too hasty, and even he was not covered with mithril armor.

It must be said that Count Winter found a good opportunity.

If the natives were not very familiar with this place and found the surrounding birds escaping, he would not have noticed the arrival of the flying wolf cavalry.

Needless to say, it must be the means of the space magician.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

"Hide behind the stone!"

Ryan could imagine how much pressure the soldiers without armor would face the sharp teeth and claws of the unicorn flying wolf and the cavalry lances behind the flying wolf. Even the Dragonblood Warrior Corps, without heavy armor, would only be slaughtered in the face of such an attack.

"Hahaha! Baron Ryan!"

The flying wolf cavalry had already appeared above his head. Perhaps because of the noble clothing on his body, no flying wolf cavalry appeared in front of Ryan, but he soon heard Sharon's voice.

This earl's heir, at this moment, also rode the unicorn flying wolf, wearing armor and killing Ryan, determined to capture his arrogant look.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the flames on the knight's long sword in his hand also dissipated. At the moment when the unicorn flying wolf pounced on him three meters above the ground, and the knight's long sword in Sharon's hand fell on him on his back.

He bent his legs and kicked the boulder under his feet with his right foot. The instant twist allowed him to avoid the claws of the unicorn flying wolf. At the moment when the meat wings as hard as metal were about to pass over his head, Ryan raised the long sword in reverse, blocked Sharon's attack, and also erected the sword in front of the meat wings of the unicorn flying wolf.

The huge force of the cross made Sharon unable to be shocked, and the whole person was knocked away, as if it was not Ryan but him who was charged by the unicorn flying wolf.

Sharon fell to the ground and vomited blood, his eyes full of fear, and then he saw the unicorn flying wolf who had lost a wing wailing on the ground, climbing up in the blood, and just as he was about to roar violently at Ryan, he was pierced through the head by a sword.

Bang!

After kicking the body of the one-horned flying wolf away, Ryan withdrew his sword and turned his head to glance at Sharon.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Sharon, who was lying on the ground, rubbed her legs against the ground and kept retreating. Ryan also felt that it was not interesting and looked at the real battlefield.

As he thought, there was no difference between the Airwolf Cavalry facing the unarmed Dragon Blood Warrior Legion and him leading his own knight attendants to charge an infantry army.

The soldiers of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion are very powerful, even stronger than the strong barbarians under Count Weiss before, because they are descendants bathed in dragon blood, but their flesh and blood bodies cannot compare with the descendants of the dragon. , they will bleed if pierced by a sharp lance, and the sharp claws of the one-horned flying wolf will cause huge damage to them.

The battle damage ratio has reached a level of one to three and one to four. Even the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion will probably have its morale collapse soon.

They are superior masters, and they are the only ones who can kill others.

Boom! ! !

Finally, when the war lasted for almost fifteen minutes, the sound of iron hooves of war horses was heard in the distance. The unique ability of northern war horses to cross mountains and ridges allowed them to quickly return to the mine.

"Get off the net!"

Brand's voice was loud, and then the cavalry behind him divided into two parts and ran towards both sides. Each cavalry on the horse was holding a corner of a large net.

They charged towards the battlefield, and when they approached the battlefield, they ran forward with large gum nets tied with stones in their hands.

The knight attendants who have received two kinds of divine blessings, especially the energy and blood blessing brought by the blessing of the deer spirit, make them powerful. The large gum net skips the sky and covers everyone below.

These nets are used to patch up birds. The Air Wolf Cavalry has wings and is also a bird, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Covered by a large net, the huge one-horned flying wolf could not fly into the sky. How could it be found by the surrounding Dragon Blood Warrior Legion soldiers? The big sword directly penetrated the body of the one-horned flying wolf.

The one-horned flying wolf howled in pain, waving its claws and trying to hit the soldiers, but the obstruction of the big net not only reduced its strength and speed, but also got its claws stuck in the mouth of the net.

The lethality caused by the gum net was almost zero, but the panic it caused to the Airwolf Cavalry was ten times a hundred times greater. They had never adapted to a battle where they could not use their wings, so they were naturally in chaos.

At this time, if the wolf cavalry behind the flying wolves come down directly to fight with the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion, they will still have the advantage because they are blessed with leather armor, but they also live with the one-horned flying wolf since they were young. , fighting together, the two are one. If one party is panicked, the other party will be in a hurry.

"kill!"

The soldiers roared and the battlefield became completely chaotic, while Brand and the cavalry continued to cast their nets.

"Get those damn fishing nets away from me!"

Earl Winter finally appeared on the back of the unicorn flying wolf in the sky. He was roaring. He didn't expect that a sneak attack would turn out like this.

Hearing his voice, a powerful knight wanted to take action. The power of the Sky Knight could change all the terrain. But just as he was about to escape, the Sky Knights under Count Sauron behind him launched a crazy attack.

Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene. He could see the Sky Knight's huge advantage in the war, so he understood even more that the conflict between himself and Count Sauron was only because of the gold mine.

Earl Winter looked to his side, and the countess shook her head slightly.

"It will cause accidental injury."

Although the magic of space is powerful, on such a rapidly changing battlefield, if the space blade is casually scratched, no matter whose soldier it is, they will die.

"Then let's see who can't hold on first!"

Maybe it was because of the big business of his family that Earl Winter was more courageous than Earl Sauron. Even though more than half of the Airwolf Cavalry were forced to fight against the fishing nets at this moment, they still did not choose to cease the war.

He understood that the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion, which had only weapons and no armor, would definitely be unable to hold on before the Air Wolf Cavalry.

Muir Zoro, that old guy, will definitely be heartbroken that his dragon-blooded warrior legion still has the advantage in the war on his side who suddenly made a sneak attack.

He understands, and so does Ryan.

After all, the command of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion is still in the hands of Count Sauron. He wants to end this war before Count Sauron can no longer bear it. At the same time, he needs to seize the opportunity to let the two extraordinary people of the North Wind Province Legions consume each other to the extreme.

Only when the snipe and the clam fight can the fisherman profit.

He couldn't help but glance towards Earl Sauron, looking at the old Earl's expression, waiting for the best opportunity.

Maybe the scene was so chaotic that Count Sauron couldn't even judge the current situation. He could hardly bear it anymore.

There is no point if the benefits of the gold mines do not far outweigh the losses of the war.

It was at this time that Ryan's voice came to mind.

"Splash glue!"

Hundreds of natives from the Gray Eagle tribe appeared holding wooden barrels. They were more proficient in things like pouring glue. As the barrels went down, there were no soldiers belonging to Baron Lane on the battlefield, so naturally there was no need to worry, and they just needed to The angle is probably enough to hit the one-horned flying wolf.

The one-horned flying wolf has a huge body, so it is relatively easy to hit.

Buckets of gum were smashed down, and a small part of the Airwolf Cavalry on the battlefield finally remembered the memory of the recent past, prompting the One-Horned Airwolf to struggle wildly.

But they were only a small part after all. Most of the Flying Wolf Cavalry had no idea what this thing was. When the gum liquid spilled, the battle would only end in tragic death.

The gum could stick to anything with water. For a while, the battlefield was in chaos, and many soldiers were even injured by their own weapons.
