Throne of the North

Mulan, when the last Marquis of the North Wind, Corinus Columbus, came to the North Wind Province, he was the companion of the Marquis. The empire did not give the Marquis more support, but a legend was enough to see the emperor's support for the Marquis of the North Wind. Pay attention to.

Unfortunately, Marquis Beifeng died in the end, in an assassination that everyone knew about but was denied by the Holy See.

The situation of the legendary knight of Mulan suddenly became awkward. The nobles doubted his loyalty. No matter what the process was, the marquis died under his protection.

After the new Marquis of the North Wind, that is, the Marquis of the North Wind who was hiding in Sha Ya's belly, came to the North Wind Province, the Mulan Knight did not receive new orders from the emperor, so he still stayed on Leiyun Mountain, but obviously, Shaya, who came from the Meyers family, preferred to use the knights sent to her by Grand Duke Meyers.

In other words, Shaya Meyers, who didn't have a good relationship with the emperor, didn't know how to treat the legend, and was worried that the emperor would use it to take advantage of him.

After all, the emperor had no orders, and this Marquis of Beifeng had no power to mobilize the Mulan Knights.

If the emperor seizes the opportunity, Meyers will not be able to find a second bloodline to inherit the position of Marquis of Beifeng.

Ryan quickly sent people to Thunder Cloud County, and the horses galloped across the ground. Ryan didn't know when the two werewolf legends would take action in person, but the fact that there was no legend in the Tundra Territory made him panic.

The collision between orcs and humans started when they first met, and the war horses also appeared in Leiyun County with the knights from the Tundra Territory in the afternoon of this day.

"Your Excellency Mulan, this is a letter from my Lord Baron to you."

Knight Mulan took the letter and was a little shocked after reading it. Baron Lane actually had a divine bone potion in his hand!

He knew what it was. After coming to the empire, he was shocked by the number of legends in the empire, so he learned about the existence of the divine bone potion.

Of course, he is not a legend who was promoted using divine bone potion.

So why does such a legendary knight have no title? The answer is simple, he comes from another world.

Moreover, the end of the world has become a legend on its own.

The title was given by others, not self-proclaimed, so he didn't have it.

"His Majesty the Emperor may send me to fight against the Werewolf Legend, but it is the fortress of Xiangshan Plain."

Knight Mulan hesitated for a moment and said this. He was waiting for the emperor's next order, so even if the divine bone potion was precious, he could not make an easy choice.

"My Lord Baron said that His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom will send a legend who is strong enough to fight against the King of Silver Moon Court, if he still wants the North Wind Province to be the land of the Empire."

In his words, it was confirmed that the Mulan Knight could not be the opponent of the Silver Moon Werewolf Wolf King. Of course, if he was really his opponent, then the death of Marquis Beifeng would really be a problem.

Knight Mulan fell silent. Indeed, this matter is very straightforward. If he can block the Silver Moon Royal Court, he will be responsible for the death of Marquis Beifeng. If he cannot block it, then the order given to him is to kill him. .

Not only did he want to die, but so many nobles in Beifeng Province also wanted to die.

Ryan had reason to believe that when the moment of the orc invasion came, the woman Shaya had already used extraordinary methods to tell Grand Duke Meyers and the emperor about the predicament here.

The nobles may side with the emperor and ignore the North Wind Province, but on this issue, the nobles and the nobles of the North Wind Province stand together. They are all nobles of the empire.

Forget about the natives of Beifeng Province, anything that happened to the nobles who came north here thirty years ago will definitely be blamed on the emperor or even Archduke Meyers.

Of course, death is really death. Ryan only hopes that this woman Sha Ya will work harder. It is best to let the emperor give the order immediately, or let Grand Duke Meyers arrange for the arrival of a powerful legend.

Mulan is the legend created in this war.

The Frost Dragon should be more powerful than the Mulan Knight, but Ryan can't control the Frost Dragon's temper. In the eyes of the Frost Dragon, the transaction between the two parties is just a sacrifice.

Unless there is a rare and powerful space magician beside Ryan to make the frost dragon care and want something.

Beyond that, there is always follow-on value from the transaction, which is simply the human touch.

There is no dragon.

Mulan looked at the letter in his hand and nodded after a long time. He agreed to the deal.

…

"Thank you, Lord Mulan."

Ryan performed noble etiquette to the Mulan knight, and the arrival of the legendary knight made his heart drop.

"Your Excellency Mulan, you only need to stop the legendary enemy. Otherwise, any losses caused will not affect the deal between us."

Mulan nodded, and then said with some surprise.

"Baron Ryan, you actually have two legendary orcs here."

No wonder Ryan would come up with something as precious as the Divine Bone Potion. The small barony was in despair when facing hundreds of thousands of orcs led by two legends.

"Perhaps the Silver Moon Royal Court thinks highly of it."

Ryan's eyes were also a little helpless. It was unreasonable for the orcs to attack here. The fundamental reason may be that the entire army destroyed the Garg clan before, which made the werewolves think that this is also a human defense line.

Ryan brought the Mulan Knights to Winter City. In the military hall here, Foxpelt said doubtfully:

"I don't know why, but all the werewolves didn't attack us. Only about 100,000 orcs appeared outside the defense line."

The werewolves did not launch a full-scale attack, not only on the Tundra Territory, but also on the Xiangshan Plain Fortress.

Thousands of werewolves also bared their teeth.

But for this, the Silver Moon Werewolf King had his own reasons.

"Werewolves can become the royal family of orcs because of their powerful strength and smarter brains than other orcs."

"We are as intelligent as humans."

"So, we can't capture this human land in one day. We have to see what other orcs do."

What Silver Moon Wolf King said shocked all the werewolves. If they hadn't been defeated, they might have rebelled now.

The bloodthirsty werewolf couldn't attack the damn orcs. What's the point?

The Silver Moon Wolf King didn't explain. Didn't he want to quickly slaughter the humans on the frontier of the empire? Of course that's what he was thinking, but he knew very well that the orcs' desire to attack was very strong, but their desire to defend was almost nonexistent.

Humans will not let him occupy the North Wind Province so easily. They will send powerful legends and armies to resist.

If you occupy Beifeng Province too early, then the orcs will defend and humans will attack. Most of the orcs will lose the desire to fight. After entering human territory, they will excitedly occupy fertile land, food, and houses, and will never again Will obey the leader's orders.

Of these two to three hundred thousand orcs, it will be a miracle that one hundred thousand can be gathered by then. But now, there are two to three hundred thousand orcs, all of which have a strong desire to attack humans.

Rather than being slaughtered then, it is better to be consumed on the battlefield now. When the human army arrives, the excess orcs can consume the army of the human empire.

As for other reasons, the Silver Moon Werewolf King also thought of it, that is, this is the direction he needs to attack. He knew very well that after capturing Beifeng Province, there was a human empire fortress in the south.

The other royal families euphemistically asked the werewolves to attack the weakest parts of the empire, but the pressure on the two fortresses would not be less than in other directions. Even the werewolf king felt that his place was invulnerable.

He had inquired about it, and found out that the fortress of Flying Wing Canyon was home to the Extraordinary Legion of Flying Dragons.

"Damn humans, how could there be such a powerful extraordinary army?"

The Werewolf King looked at the Xiangshan Plain Fortress in front of him. The humans here were weak and pitiful. If he took action, he could easily defeat the human fortress.

I really want to do it.

There was a hint of black energy in the eyes of the Silver Moon Werewolf King, and he reacted, leaving hideous blood marks on his chest with his claws.

"Hobiyi..."

The Werewolf King had fierce eyes, and he was still watched when he was helping the great god expel the god of corpses.

Even the great being served by werewolves cannot fully evolve the power of the alien god in his body, because he has not yet fully awakened.

This corpse energy gave the Werewolf King the desire to devour living creatures. Fortunately, he was strong enough to suppress this desire.

"When the great werewolf god Skull awakens, I will personally dedicate you to the great existence."

The Werewolf King turned around and disappeared above the snowfield, leaving the leader of the Suno clan behind to monitor the battlefield.

Xiangshan Plain, in the fortress.

Viscount Landa had nothing to do. The only thing he did every day was to write letters, and write letters constantly.

Let the nobles from Beifeng Province bring reinforcements to the Xiangshan Plain.

Especially now, he didn't even see the arrival of the Air Wolf Cavalry and the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion, which made Viscount Landa extremely angry.

"Two Earls, do you want to see the North Wind Province be occupied by the orcs and keep the army to protect you and escape to the south, or do you want to hide in your castle and resist the coming orcs?"

"In the north, millions of orcs are enough to overwhelm the Xiangshan Plain Fortress. Without this fortress, no territory in the entire Beifeng Province would be able to resist the orc army."

"Even if you, as a great noble, lose your territory and wealth, you will eventually lose all the glory in your hands. You are still a great noble, but your heirs will have no titles to inherit. They will become the new wandering nobles of the empire. ”

"Perhaps we should all envy Baron Lane. In the entire Northwind Province, only Baron Lane can lose his tundra territory and return to the south. All his performance in the Northwind Province has been recognized by Earl Clayton. , that earl will help him obtain a new territory and a new title."

"But we can't. You know, Baron Lane's determination to protect the territory shocked me. He is a commendable nobleman. In Baron Lane, I see all the beautiful qualities possessed by nobles."

"It is precisely because of this that I will live and die with the fortress in Xiangshan Plain. This is our only chance to protect our own land."

"The orcs are fully invading, and humans must risk everything to have a chance of winning."

"We are nobles. For wealth and glory, for land and dignity, we must do whatever it takes. We will win. And as long as we defeat the orcs, in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, Beifeng Province will not face any threat.”

"We will take back all the wealth that has been lost."

The letter flew to the territory of the two counts. Viscount Landa began to inspect the fortress. The nobles' inspection would make the soldiers not slack off, and the next day, the Airwolf Cavalry finally arrived here.

Lord Hora arrived with thousands of flying wolf cavalry, inspiring the army in the fortress. Immediately afterwards, the Lord also brought instructions from Earl Winter.

"Lord Winter will lead all the nobles of the North Wind Province to replenish all the materials needed for the Xiangshan Plain."

Viscount Landa was surprised. What was he trying to do?

Suddenly, he realized.

Is Count Winter trying to reintegrate the nobles of the North Wind Province to stand on his side, so as to gain more say in the empire?

Viscount Landa understood Count Winter's political plan, but he did not expose it. Compared with this matter, he was more concerned about the outcome of this war and whether the Xiangshan Plain Fortress could defend against the attack of the orcs.

Moreover, even if he took a step back, Count Winter's political plan would not affect him. There were only a few people in the entire North Wind Province who were qualified to compete with Count Winter.

"Whoever wins this war will gain supreme prestige."

The Dragon Blood Warrior Corps walked slowly, but also arrived at the Xiangshan Plain Fortress. With the addition of the Extraordinary Corps, the battlefield of Xiangshan Plain was suddenly in chaos.

However, Viscount Landa soon discovered that it seemed that the arrival of the Extraordinary Legion did not play such a big role in his letter, but because the emperor of the empire responded.

...

As Ryan guessed, the emperor wanted to give up the North Wind Province, but he needed a reasonable reason. The invasion of orcs was definitely the worst option.

He couldn't just give up here openly. When the werewolves led the orcs to attack the North Wind, the emperor in the palace was thinking.

There are many legends in the empire, but there are not many who can fight against a king of the orc royal family.

At this time, the orcs are approaching the Xiangshan Plain.

"Your Majesty, Grand Duke Meyers is visiting."

The waiter knelt on the ground and reported to the emperor that the four grand dukes would not be blocked from entering the palace. Only in front of the last door would the waiter stop the grand duke.

This empire belongs to the royal family, but also to the four grand dukes.

"Grand Duke Meyers, why are you here?"

The emperor met the Grand Duke. To be honest, he didn't like dealing with these Grand Dukes very much, because they were old and could always educate themselves with the tone of their elders. As an emperor, Columbus III certainly didn't want such people to appear in front of him often.

"Your Majesty, I came here for your distress."

"Oh?"

"The North Wind Province needs a legend who can fight against the Werewolf King. I think you don't know who to send."

"I have a candidate, Rosalind."

"It's him, the respected demon hunter. Hasn't he died in the Abyss Hell yet?"

The emperor remembered this name. The other party was a member of the Meyers family.

"Can he fight against the Werewolf King?"

Meyers's old face did not respond. He gave a choice. How to choose was the emperor's decision. This was also the reason for the emperor's dissatisfaction. In front of several Grand Dukes, he, the emperor, could never maintain his dignity.

"In that case, let Rosalind go."

The emperor waved his hand. It didn't matter if someone went to hold it. Anyway, if it couldn't be defended at that time, it would be Grand Duke Mayes' problem.

However, Grand Duke Mayes did not leave. The emperor lost his smile and held Grand Duke Mayes in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, you must understand that this is a full-scale invasion against the orcs, not a time for exchange of interests."

Grand Duke Mayes finally spoke and smiled at the emperor.

"Of course, my respected majesty, Rosalind will go to the North Wind Province, and I will not use her to exchange with you."

"I want the tax revenue of the North Wind Province for the next 30 years."

"Instead, I will give you a suitable reason to let you throw away the land that is called a burden."

The emperor's expression was still gloomy. He didn't want the North Wind Province, but it didn't mean that the North Wind Province could be thrown away at will.

Thirty years ago, the royal family did not allow Meyers, who had conquered the North Wind Province, to occupy it, but thirty years later, Meyers brought up the matter again, and the time required was still thirty years.

Why can't you get over this number?

"In the past thirty years, the empire has paid 60 million gold coins for the construction of the North Wind Province."

In the first thirty years, the North Wind Province received one million gold coins every year for the construction of the fortress defense line and the development of the nobles, but in fact, the order issued from the imperial capital was two million per year.

It's just that no noble would mention this matter, everyone knew it tacitly, and even the emperor was a participant in the remaining one million.

"The tax revenue of the North Wind Province in the past thirty years is only 45 million gold coins, which is still a long way from recovering the cost."

"45 million gold coins... Grand Duke, do you think it is too much?"

Grand Duke Meyers shook his head and said:

"The North Wind Province is poorer than you think, and there is no way to collect 1.5 million gold coins there."

"And the orcs have invaded there twice, and now it is the third time. The North Wind Province will probably be even poorer in the next few decades."

Hearing this, the emperor hesitated. He also understood that this was the fact. That piece of cold land could not even grow food.

But he was still unwilling to give in.

"I don't know what you, Grand Duke, have to say?"

No matter what, the North Wind Province is a piece of land suitable for survival. If the empire doesn't want it, then who will sell it to? Who can buy it?

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this won't be a problem."

Grand Duke Meyers did not explain more, but told the emperor that after thirty years, the emperor's problem would not be a problem.

"Maybe in thirty years, the North Wind Province will also be covered by the North."

"Your people will migrate to the south."

Hearing this, the emperor said nothing more, and Grand Duke Meyers left.

With Rosalind's order, the emperor completely ignored the North Wind Province. If the Meyers family wanted the taxes there, they could collect them themselves.

"If the Eye Fortress is broken, the Nightmare Knights must plug the hole as soon as possible!"

The emperor finally said that this was the exchange he wanted. Compared with the North Wind Province, the Empire would never allow the orcs' southward war to destroy the Empire's land.

This matter, the most important thing, is related to the future war between the Empire and the Church.

"Follow your wishes."

Grand Duke Meyers performed the etiquette of the nobility, and still went to his own mansion in the imperial capital with a heavy heart. Rosalind had been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke."

"The matter has been resolved. I paid a great price. I just hope that I can survive this crisis."

Grand Duke Meyers sighed.
