Throne of the North

"assassin."

When Ryan of the Tundra Territory received the news, it was accompanied by the defeat of the Airwolf Cavalry and the death and injury of more than 1,500 people in the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion.

Only less than two thousand of Earl Winter's flying wolf cavalry were dead. If Neng Fei and those knights hadn't reacted, there would have been more casualties.

As for the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion, they suffered more losses due to lack of mobility.

More than half of the Black Goatman Warrior Legion died, but the remaining three to four thousand orc warriors still make the nobles in the North Wind Province fearful.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at the assassin described in the letter.

Cat people with blue hair all over their bodies. They can hold rapiers like humans, hide in the shadows, and hit with one hit.

"Finally I found you."

Ryan has not forgotten that the original person was killed by an assassin.

"Who among the orcs can bully the weak cat people? Who can have such powerful extraordinary power?"

In Ryan's mind, he first excluded the Catman himself, Earl Winter and Earl Sauron.

The extraordinary legions of the two earls suffered heavy losses. How could it be possible that they directed and acted on their own?

It's impossible for the orcs. If those orcs have such brains, they can be self-sufficient in the north, so why bother to invade south.

Among the remaining choices, the nobles in the southern part of the empire are not possible, because if you want to send so many assassins to the North Wind Province, it is impossible to have no news at all, so they can only be the nobles within the North Wind Province.

"Count Love Weiss is the most likely. The other qualified viscount, Viscount Miles, should be impossible. If he had this assassin power, Viscount Dragon would have died long ago."

"There aren't many answers."

Ryan stood on the opposite side of all the nobles and thought about the answer. In the end, it fell on Earl Weiss.

The earl is the biggest suspect.

"If it is really Count Weiss, then this count may also have a supernatural legion under his command."

Returning to the situation in the entire Northern Province, Ryan knew that many people in the Northern Wind Province might not be able to survive this winter.

What Ryan didn't expect was that the first person who couldn't get through was Viscount Miles.

After the Black Goatman Warrior Legion fought a deadlock with the extraordinary legions of the two earls in Golden Maisui County, they actually brought tens of thousands of Black Goatman to Lingdu County.

It has to be said that the Miles family is worthy of being a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and they still have a lot of wealth. At the critical moment, they took out more than a dozen spell scrolls, causing more than a thousand casualties to the Black Goatman warrior army.

That Viscount Miles was actually a great magician, one step away from being a magician.

This incident shocked many people in Beifeng Province, especially Viscount Dragon, who was extremely lucky because this old thing was about to die.

In the subsequent attack, the Black Goatmen ravaged more than half of Lingdu County, and more than half of the nobles suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, Lingdu City was not breached, and the nobles themselves were not in any danger. It became the only county in Beifeng Province where none of the nobles died.

By that time, the orcs were still wreaking havoc. When Earl Winter and Earl Sauron suffered heavy losses from the Extraordinary Legion, they had already transferred them back to their own counties and were not willing to come out to deal with the Black Goatman Warrior Legion again.

However, due to Viscount Miles, this extraordinary orc army also suffered a bit of heavy losses. The remaining Black Goatman army no longer targeted those cities, but spread out to plunder the castles and estates of small nobles.

Speaking of which, the reason why Lingdu County was besieged by the Black Goatmen army had something to do with Ryan.

The Black Goat people were confident in the power of their wisdom, so they sent scouts south to find out which noble had the most food.

But it happened that at that time, Lane sold the news to Viscount Miles.

As a result, Viscount Miles in Lingdu City and the chamber of commerce that followed the trend began to purchase grains on a large scale, and sent all the remaining grains to Lingdu City to accumulate in preparation for making war fortunes. Naturally, this could not be hidden from the Black Goatmen who came specifically to look for it. Scout.

Thus, there was the result of the Black Goatman tribe attacking Lingdu City.

In short, the current defense line of Beifeng Province to help each other has become a joke, and everyone fights on their own with counties as units.

Then half a month later, there was news that another county and city had been broken by orcs. This time, there was no flying wolf cavalry to pick people up. Dozens of nobles in the city, including Viscount Skinner, the entire army Overturned.

As soon as the news came out, all the nobles in Beifeng Province could not sit still.

So many nobles died, not to mention the death of their lips and teeth. They couldn't explain it to the empire at all.

Count Winter's Flying Wolf Cavalry and Count Sauron's Dragon Blood Warrior Legion once again assembled and began to hunt down the Black Goatman Warrior Legion, but in fact, it was the ordinary cavalry that really fought against those Orc Warriors.

Only cavalry can catch up with those black goat men. The flying wolf cavalry's endurance is too poor, and by the time they arrive on the battlefield, it is already the middle to late stage.

Fortunately, after more than twenty days of chasing, most of the remaining two thousand Black Goat warriors were killed or injured. At least half of the nearly one hundred thousand Black Goat warriors in the entire Beifeng Province were dead.

The losses of other orcs were even worse, but the population was a burden to the orc tribe. They went south to grab food and reduce the population.

The territory of Beifeng Province, which has been constantly shining brightly, finally ushered in February of the coming year.

The orcs began to retreat, and the human lords began to fight back, chasing the orcs.

Not because of anger or dignity, but because when the orcs returned to the north, they took away too much wealth that should have belonged to them, and they wanted to take back their wealth.

In the process of chasing the orcs, Ryan's Tundra Territory finally had a chance to participate.

But unlike other nobles who pursued him, he blocked them.

"I will never allow any orc to enter my territory in a threatening manner. Brand, assemble the army and find all the orcs in the mountains for me. Kill all those who resist and use them as slaves if you capture them!"

Ryan rode his war horse on the plains under Rhinoceros Mountain. As the temperature rose, the snow here gradually melted, and he was finally able to see a little color of life in his territory.

With nearly a hundred soldiers, plus seven to eight hundred serfs, Ryan's so-called thousand-man army began to sweep through the surrounding mountains.

By the way, record the maps in all directions.

How ferocious and brutal the orcs were when they invaded south, but now when they are full and still carrying food, the orcs are so timid and fragile. Facing the encirclement and suppression of humans, they think not of fighting desperately, but of escaping and evading.

This left Ryan speechless and at the same time he continued to take advantage. The number of orc slaves in the tundra territory gradually increased from three to four hundred, to eight to nine hundred, to more than a thousand.

Another half month has passed, and when the snow on the land of Beifeng Province has almost melted, it is difficult for Ryan to find the orcs returning to the north around the tundra territory.

At this time, the number of orc slaves under his command had exceeded two thousand.

So many orcs made everyone in the Tundra Territory panic, and Ryan couldn't even take the time to visit the alien plane.

With the idea that food should not be wasted, Ryan waved his hand and directly handed over the previously explored route to these orc slaves.

"Send them to open roads, and remember to find a place to pile up the excavated soil. Since we can't find suitable farmland, then we will create our own farmland!"

"You can't be polite to those orcs. Use them to your death."

Orcs eat more than humans, and Ryan doesn't dare to think about whether his granary can last for a month if any of these orcs survive.

Thinking of the granary, Ryan's eyes fell on the tall silos under Rhinohorn Mountain, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

He would also like to thank these orcs for coming to his side when they returned, allowing him to harvest more than 2,000 orc slaves, as well as more than 20,000 gold coins, more than 200,000 kilograms of grain, as well as various handicrafts and gems. luxury goods.

In an instant, Master Lane's pockets bulged again.

Riding on a war horse and patrolling his territory, Ryan was actually still waiting.

He wanted to see if the assassin who assassinated him in the first place would assassinate him again because he failed in his mission.

So there is no one around him now, and Brand is not following him.

Because Ryan found that he was terrifyingly strong now.

The hand holding the reins was slightly clenched, and the horse beneath him couldn't help but tremble for a moment, even though it had endured such terrifying auras many times in the past few days.

Ryan's nostrils breathed a hot breath. Even the leather would soften when it touched it. If dry wood was in front of him, it could even be ignited directly.

Ryan tried it, and with his strength, he could even easily lift a millstone over his head with one hand without feeling any pressure.

The reason for all this is somewhat miraculous, that is, he has practiced the Clayton family's Flame Dragon Knight Breathing Technique, which has made him a breakthrough to the level of a formal knight.

It was strange that he was already an official knight this morning, but he was able to achieve a second breakthrough.

It was as if the physical increase brought by the Deer Spirit's blessing on his spiritual panel, as well as the Deer Spirit Knight's Breathing Technique that he could also practice, had no overlap with the Flame Dragon Knight's Breathing Technique. In fact, he could practice these at the same time. Two methods of breathing.

But after Ryan experimented for a few days, he discovered something different.

That is his body, which may still be practicing the Flame Dragon Knight breathing method instinctively, but the auxiliary effect brought by the spiritual panel allows him to practice the second breathing method.

There is no conflict between the two methods at all, but because Ryan's physique has already reached the level of a formal knight, this time the breathing method breakthrough did not bring much increase in physique.

What's more, it's the increase in the soul level brought about by the Flame Dragon Knight's breathing method.

After breaking through, Ryan felt like a giant beast at the top of the food chain. Anyone who faced him would feel fear deep in his heart.

This kind of influence can reduce the enemy's strength in battle, making it easy to win.

In short, the five or six knights in the territory now, except Brand, are no match for Ryan.
