Throne of the North

Although the war in the mine has stopped, more troops are coming from all directions.

The portal to the other world was closed and the nobles could not enter, but Countess Winter used the magical means she had left here before to open the space portal at a huge cost, bringing all the Airwolf Cavalry, as well as some noble.

After these nobles came in, they went to their own territory and brought their own troops.

Soon after the war stopped, no less than ten thousand troops had gathered here.

The war did not end, but because of the arrival of these noble troops, the situation once again turned to Earl Winter's side.

"This is my gold mine, and you are declaring war on my Winter family!"

In war, it is often necessary to have a good reputation in order to stand on the top. This is the case for Earl Winter.

People like Earl Sauron are shameless plunderers and thieves.

"Hmph! Every mineral vein in the alien world belongs to all nobles. You, Count Winter, are selfishly mining gold mines. How dare you complain first when we discover it?"

Earl Sauron also fought back. It was necessary to stand firm, otherwise there would be no supporters.

In short, only if you have reason can you continue.

"I have been discussing with the nobles for a long time, but it is you!"

Earl de Winter knew everything.

"The key to the door to another world is only held by Lord Beifeng, but he privately closed the door and did not allow any nobles to enter or exit it. Why is this?"

"For what you said, the so-called Baron Lane is in crisis and needs the support of the noble army?"

Ryan blinked and looked at the two nobles with a somewhat unkind look in his eyes.

So, was it me who was used as the reason?

No matter what, this notoriety is on his shoulders.

Regarding this matter, Marquis Beifong did not have any way to refute this matter like Count Sauron. He hesitated for a long time without knowing what to say, his chest heaving.

"We were originally meant to rescue Baron Lane, but we just discovered this gold mine on the way."

It was Count Sauron who responded, as if he had already prepared such words.

After saying that, he looked at Ryan again.

"Baron Lane knows this best."

Ryan sneered in his heart, but nodded on the outside.

"Yes, I am hunting the divine beast in this other world. Dragons are the life closest to gods. And you also know that my father, Earl Clayton, has a dragon mount that will soon be legendary. I hope can help him.”

The reason is beyond reproach. The nobles might even beat their children violently when they go back and then read other people's vocabulary while talking to relieve their anger.

"Really? That's a coincidence."

Earl Winter sneered angrily.

"So is it a coincidence that you killed my army and declared war on my Winter family?"

There is no solution to this matter. There is no unnecessary reason for the outbreak of war. It is purely the existence of gold mines that forces them to make a decision as quickly as possible.

"We're just taking back the part of ourselves that's ours."

Earl Sauron knew that he could not admit the motives for the war and could only muddy the waters politically.

"Okay, very good!"

Earl Winter gritted his teeth and said:

"Then, I also want to take back my victory. My soldiers cannot die in vain. Since the war has begun, let's continue!"

Now in the war here, Earl Winter has a greater advantage.

"No one can give up the interests of the gold mine. How about sitting down and solving it in a gentler way?"

Ryan spoke, which only made Earl Winter even more angry. If it weren't for the fishing nets and gum, how could his Airwolf Cavalry have suffered such heavy losses.

"The war has begun and cannot be ended easily."

"Then we'll have to wait."

After Ryan finished speaking, he didn't care about the many nobles present, and retreated to the other side of the mine with his soldiers.

Not long after, the sound of troops marching came from the forest.

Soldiers belonging to nobles from several other counties arrived.

Earl Sauron appeared, and the noble army of Longshan County, even if there were no nobles present, would not refuse the Earl's recruitment. Ryan was moved by emotion and reason, and in exchange for the interests of the gold mine, Lingdu County The troops from Tieshan County are approaching here.

With the arrival of Earl Winter, these armies will soon get the news, and their armies will also appear here.

The confrontation between the two sides gradually evolved into a war between counties.

This scene became a little unbearable for a while.

In a war involving tens of thousands of soldiers, even the great nobles would be unable to bear the consequences.

The state of war in the past two years has made the nobles in Beifeng Province feel very war-weary.

They go to war for profit and become war-weary, but there is actually no conflict.

As a result, this war that was half started came to a halt.

"Since the gold mine needs to be divided, let's divide all the veins."

"Including you nobles."

Earl Winter stared at Earl Sauron and Baron Lane. These two nobles also had a large magic crystal mine in their hands and wanted to share it.

"OK."

Ryan agreed with a smile, while Count Sauron's expression was much gloomier.

…

The portal to the alien plane was finally opened.

Many nobles once again appeared on Leiyun Mountain and really began to discuss how to distribute the resources of the other world.

"Our goal is for resources and wealth from another world."

"Instead of war, we have lost many soldiers in the continuous wars. If we continue to fight, all our nobles will lose slaves and labor next year."

"Noble lords will never think of farming themselves, right?"

"The resources of the other world are the wealth of the entire North Wind Province. We should use the wealth to develop our territory and increase our wealth, so as to gain a voice in the empire."

"We need peace and a result, a result that no one can envy the resources of other nobles."

"The war cannot continue."

The only outsider in the mansion, Viscount Hogg, looked at these nobles in a daze.

What happened? Is there something I don't know?

He did nothing, and was suddenly called over, and listened to the hysterical words of the Marquis of North Wind.

"It should be like this. We should spend more time on our own territory, not on the plane of the other world."

The nobles nodded in agreement, but there was no good suggestion about the so-called result.

In the end, Ryan stood up in the eyes of everyone.

"I think, since we want to divide the benefits of the other world, we must first understand how much wealth we can obtain in this mountain and forest world."

"First, it is the population of those indigenous tribes."

"Population is always the most fundamental resource for the strength of a territory. Every great noble has a large population in their territory, so they can have a strong army and extraordinary legions."

"The two earls know this best. To be honest, the Earl Clayton family controlled by my father Ryan Clayton also has such a large and extraordinary Flame Dragon Knight Legion because of the resources and population control of the other world."

Speaking of Earl Clayton, many nobles present couldn't help but envy him. He was a great nobleman who was called the candidate for the fifth Grand Duke of the Empire in the future, and was the goal of many families for generations.

"So the population resources in the other world cannot be ignored."

"What is the second resource?"

"I think our past hunting has given the answer, that is, the countless beasts in the mountains and forests that have been bathed in divinity."

"These beasts are food, and they are rare meat. Meat can make us stronger. Some of them can be domesticated as livestock. In my frozen land territory, many families have begun to raise goats captured from the forest world."

"After generations of domestication, this kind of goat will become a major source of wealth in the territory. The most important thing is that it is sustainable. The ewes give birth to lambs, and the lambs grow up, and the grown-ups give birth to more goats. The lamb, just like the chicken lays the egg and the egg lays the chicken, becomes our wealth. "

"In addition, there are magic beasts. There are many magic beasts in the forest world. We all know one thing. A strong knight must have a strong mount. If you are lucky enough to tame a magic beast, it will be the foundation of a family for at least a hundred years."

"So I think that the wild beasts and magic beasts in the forest world are the second resource we can obtain."

"Then what is the third resource?"

"Is it the mineral vein for us to start the war?"

"No, never. You can become a nouveau riche by selling minerals, but you can't become a noble by selling minerals. Nobles, this is why the nobles of our Northern Wind Province have not been accepted by the Southern nobles for so many years. "

"We only have mines."

"We already have mines, so can more mines change our views in the eyes of the Southerners?"

"So, the third resource is the trees in the mountain forest world, which is the soil of the other world."

"There is a lot of frozen soil in the Northern Wind Province, and there is not much land that can be cultivated. It is too difficult to open up wasteland. The most important thing is that we need soil suitable for growing food."

"Some of the trees in the other world are also not available here."

"What are the southern nobles most proud of? It is their ancestors We don't have the glory that our generations have left for ourselves in the North Wind Province, so we have to build our own glory and build wonders that belong to the North Wind Province. "

"Once successful, when the nobles in the south mention the nobles in the North Wind Province, they will no longer be barbarians living in mines. They will think of the glory we have built, and they will be yearning for it, because we, the nobles in the North Wind Province, have done what their proud ancestors have done."

Ryan's words made the eyes of the nobles who were preparing to deepen their ties with the southern nobles brighten. Little did they know that it was precisely because of the recent shift in the focus of the nobles in the North Wind Province that Ryan said this.

He wants to build a wonder, or more precisely, a tourism development base.

Master Ryan can't do this alone, and the nobles in the North Wind Province need to unite.

If you want to develop the economy, you can't do it without tourism.

The initial wonder materials are the trees that the empire doesn't have in the mountain forest world.

It's not just ornamental crops. If Master Ryan becomes rich in the future, these rare trees that have never been seen can be sold to druids and elves. This will be a huge deal.

"The fourth resource is the mineral vein that can only be mined over time."

"Iron ore, copper ore, silver ore, gold ore, magic crystal ore, all mineral veins are the fourth resource we can obtain."

"In my opinion, apart from these four resources, there is no fifth type of resources in the entire other world."

"Baron Lane!"

A baron said, yes, at least those who can appear here today are all barons. Because there were too many people, the lord did not call.

"What about divinity? The most important thing in the alien world should be divinity."

"Divinity?"

"Divinity is no longer voluntary."

Ryan sighed and said:

"After Countess Winter's investigation, it was found that the divinity of the other world had been spread everywhere in the mountains and forests by the gods many years ago. That's why the beasts of the other world grew so huge and gave birth to those beasts in the mountains and forests. Mine."

"Each of the four resources I mentioned before is a part of divinity. We are originally exploring divinity."

"In addition, the Governor can also testify about this matter. Do you really think that I, Baron Lane, was in danger and caused the portal to close?"

Ryan didn’t want to have a bad reputation for certain things, and Marquis Beifeng didn’t want to either, so he immediately stood up and said:

"That's right, I ordered the legendary knight of Mulan to close the portal because the flow of divinity on the key to the portal to another world has accelerated."

"We guess that the ten years mentioned before will not be that long anymore, because the mining of our mineral veins will accelerate the flow of divinity, thus causing the death of the other world plane in advance."

No noble wanted to take the blame, so no one said anything.

"This time will turn ten years into eight years and five years due to our subsequent mining of mineral veins."

"I think this is also the reason why we must sit down and discuss a suitable result. If we develop another world during the war, how much wealth can we get in three to five years?"

Ryan asked and then spread his hands.

"So now, we should talk about how to divide the four resources of the different world plane."

"Let's start discussing one by one."

"The first is the first resource, the indigenous population of another world."

"Before I do this, I need to remind everyone that those indigenous people are not slaves. They are extraordinary seeds that may evolve into barbarians. When we discuss how to deal with them, we must also take into account the wishes of the indigenous tribes themselves."

"You don't want to have hundreds or even thousands of restless people suddenly appear in your territory, right?"

"You have also seen the ferocity of the natives."

"The Green Lion Tribe, the Black Bear Tribe...the Gray Eagle Tribe, the indigenous people of these six tribes belong to me, Ryan. I have reached a consensus with those indigenous people in the past time on this."

"I will also fight for the remaining population of the indigenous tribes. My tundra territory is not afraid of anything except that the population is not large enough."

"This matter cannot be discussed here. You need to send people to communicate with those tribes yourself."

"Then Baron Lane, I wonder how you conquered those tribes before?"

The person who spoke was Baron Hatton, Lane's neighbor, who was also stimulated by the development of the Tundra Territory. This bad Baron couldn't help but want to follow suit at this moment.

The pressure from the neighbors is really too much.

"It's very simple. We hold the land and the orthodoxy. We can allow them to leave that dying world safely and give them an orthodox identity in the empire."

"This is the biggest bargaining chip we have."

"Apart from that, it's the military aspect. I'm very powerful, aren't I?"

"Among the indigenous tribes, only the strongest can become the leader, so they are naturally willing to follow me."

The strong are always strong. Ryan can almost see that the indigenous tribes are unlikely to appear in the baron's territory. At least a viscount must be able to suppress a tribe.

"I use these conditions in exchange for them to become my people. It's that simple."

The nobles pondered subconsciously after hearing this. How do they feel that Baron Lane had started planning today's situation a long time ago?
