Throne of the North

When Ryan came to Knight Walter, he looked condescendingly at Knight Walter, who was thrown off his horse and rolled in the mud. His calm eyes made Knight Knight angry.

"I am also a noble!"

"Are you also a noble?"

Ryan looked at Walter, laughed, and looked at the group of serf soldiers kneeling next to Walter's knight. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Such silent humiliation made Walter Knight extremely angry.

"You are not from Shenma Leader, who are you?"

His strength that shocked this sudden army was definitely not something that Baron Hatton could possess.

"You have two neighbors, why don't you know about them now?"

Ryan looked at Walter, whose angry expression froze and became extremely shocked.

"You, are you the Baron of the Tundra Territory?"

Knight Walter was shocked, how could the tundra territory, which was rumored to be the poorest and coldest in the entire empire, have such a powerful military force.

Each of those cavalrymen was a trainee knight who was out of production. This made Knight Walter unable to understand that this was an extraordinary army, just like the power controlled by those powerful nobles.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, just tie him up and send him to Baron Hatton."

After Ryan finished speaking, he pulled the reins of the cart and turned around to leave.

When the huge team returned to the Shenma Leader, Hatton was nervous. When he saw the tightly tied Knight Walter, Hatton burst into laughter.

"Little Walter, you dare to challenge the authority of my father, Mr. Hatton. You are just like your damn father. You don't have any aristocratic brains. You are a fool who only knows how to use force."

Baron Hatton shook his head and said with a sigh:

"This is the gap. Although they are all nobles, it is obvious that you do not have the brains that nobles should have. You are not even qualified to become a lord."

Looking at Walter Knight, whose eyes were about to spit fire, Ryan shook his head. Baron Hatton's attack power in this area was still quite good.

"I will leave him to you. I think Baron Roach will not be stingy with the ransom of a lord."

Ryan said, turned around and left. This war did not put any pressure on him.

Dozens of miles away from the Shenma Territory, this territory is called the Crow Territory, and it is the territory of Baron Roach. Following the capture of Knight Walter, news soon reached the Baron's ears.

Baron Roach, who was eating snow-white bread in the fortress, behaved elegantly, but the next moment he was disrupted by the panicked voice outside.

"My lord is in trouble. Your lord, Knight Walter, was captured alive by Baron Hatton. They also sent someone to ask you for a ransom of 20,000 gold coins."

Baron Roach couldn't help but look angry when he heard the panic outside.

"You're making so much noise, didn't you see that I'm eating, sir? Drag me down and beat you to death!"

Soon, panicked and frightened cries for mercy came from outside, but Roach didn't pay attention.

Next to him, Baron Roach's butler came up respectfully and said:

"Sir, Knight Walter is a noble knight in your territory. Do we want to pay the ransom of 20,000 gold coins?"

Baron Roach sneered twice and said:

"Twenty thousand gold coins. That fat guy Hatton only knows how to eat and drink. He has a really big appetite. If I don't give it to him, how dare he bring his army to come to me?"

"Furthermore, that idiot Walter is just a relative from the Meyers family. How dare he not take me seriously, sir? He hasn't even sent me a single gold coin for so long."

"It doesn't matter if he is a direct descendant of the Meyers family. A small lord dares to disrespect me."

"Just in time, let's take this opportunity to meet our old friends. If Baron Hatton's father is still alive, he will be very disappointed, right? Hahahaha?"

There was fear in the eyes of the butler on the side. He knew many things about the Roach family. For example, the current Baron Roach had gathered 300 powerful warriors, including 50 cavalry, under his aggressive military tactics.

This is a force that cannot be ignored in the entire baron circle. Only the viscount can say that he can firmly suppress Mr. Roach.

"Take this opportunity to seize all Baron Hatton's iron ore and farmland. We will be able to successfully survive the winter this year."

There was ambition in Baron Roach's eyes. The county governor and governor had no intention of taking care of the recent territorial conflict between the nobles. Maybe he could take this opportunity to expand his influence and wealth.

…

Baron Hatton's Castle, less than two days later, Ryan had just returned from the Tundra Territory. Before he could wait for Baron Roach's response, he saw a bloated woman making a fuss in the Baron's Castle.

"Hatton, please release my Walter immediately!"

“Zara, this is not the place for you to be arrogant!”

Baron Hatton's expression was also particularly angry. This woman from the Meyers family, the mother of Knight Walter, actually came to her territory in person and demanded that he release Lord Walter.

"My Walter is also a noble, Hatton. You can't imprison him as a prisoner. He is free, a lord of the empire, and a noble!"

"Also, you must call me by my name. I am Zara Meyers. I come from the Grand Duchy in the south of the empire. You are just a country baron and you dare to yell at me."

Ryan walked in from outside and asked Baron Haddon with some confusion.

"If I remember correctly, the lord of the empire will not be established until this year's God's Grace Festival. There is no lord noble now. Baron Hatton, is this bucket lady your guest?"

Hearing the word bucket lady from Ryan's mouth, the originally roaring lady looked at Ryan furiously, paused for a moment under his young and handsome face, and became angry again.

"Who are you? How dare you insult the women from the Grand Duke's family."

"There are many women in the Grand Duke Meyers family, so don't flatter yourself."

Ryan waved his hand and pointed at himself.

"I am also a noble. In this situation, Ms. Bucket, you should respectfully address me as Baron."

"In addition, Knight Water was captured in war. According to the tradition among nobles, you can take him away, but the premise is that you must pay enough ransom."

"Twenty thousand gold coins, if you can take it out, you can take Knight Water away."

"Twenty thousand?!"

Ms. Bucket's voice became sharp, like a hen with feathers standing on end.

"You are blackmailing."

"Yes, this is blackmail. It seems that you don't think your son is worth that much. Fortunately, we are not asking you for it, but Baron Roche, to whom Knight Water is loyal."
