Throne of the North

No wonder no one had approached Ryan before, the problem was here.

First, those mineral veins would definitely not want one more person to share. Secondly, if the territory is redistributed, those nobles want their lord knight territory to be closer to themselves, which has nothing to do with Ryan's frozen land territory. No noble would fancy the frozen land territory, and from a geographical point of view, the frozen land territory could not affect the redistribution of land.

The same is true for Baron Hatton's Shenma Territory. He is the closest to the frozen land territory, and naturally, he is farther away from other noble territories.

The only trouble is the conflict with Baron Roche, but it has been resolved now. It is said that Knight Walter has given up the knight territory and brought his people and wealth to Baron Roche's territory.

It will be no less difficult to develop again in the future than his father.

In any era, the war on land is cruel, and this has never changed. Ryan can already imagine the bloody storm that will follow.

…

Flower of the North Wind, this ancient castle, gathered thousands of soldiers, and naturally attracted the attention of the two viscounts.

So, just two days after Ryan came here, the envoy of Viscount Miles arrived at the castle.

That was Viscount Miles's eldest son, Christian Miles. Originally, he didn't want to come, but after Viscount Miles's youngest son, Rag Miles, volunteered, the eldest son couldn't sit still and wanted to show his presence.

"Baron Ryan, everyone underestimated you. The support of the Clayton family for you is beyond our imagination."

Christan looked at Ryan and said with a serious expression. He cared not about Ryan, but the Earl of Clayton's family behind Ryan.

Ryan looked at the future Viscount Miles and laughed a little. He asked an irrelevant question.

"Mr. Christian, you came here alone. Did you volunteer?"

Christan's expression became cold. Although he came here in a rush, he believed that no outsiders knew and it would be impossible to spread here so quickly.

He did not respond to Ryan, but looked at Barnes.

"Baron Barnes, my father, the master of the Viscount Miles family, the county governor of Lingdu County asked me to ask you why you assembled such a large army."

Barnes smiled and looked up and nodded Ryan.

"You should answer Baron Ryan's question first, Christian. As a future fifth-class noble, you seem to have not learned the noble etiquette yet. You should not ignore the questions of a noble."

Ryan didn't care, just said:

"Since Mr. Christian has been silent, he has already answered my question. It seems that our future Viscount Miles has been calculated."

"What do you mean?"

Christan clenched his fists, his veins were exposed, and stared at Ryan.

"Isn't it?"

Ryan looked at Christian.

"Everyone knows that no matter who comes to us, it is impossible for us to leave and disband our army, but Mr. Christian, you took on this mission that will definitely fail. After returning to the Viscount's territory, this will become your stain. Everyone, especially the nobles who gathered around Viscount Miles, will see your incompetence."

"No matter what the reason, you failed."

"So, this failure was supposed to fall on other people, but Mr. Christian, you didn't apply for it on your own initiative, right? As the eldest son of the Viscount, you can certainly snatch the credit from anyone."

"The premise is that it is really a credit."

Under Ryan's gaze, Christian was trembling all over, and his face was a little hideous, so that he couldn't keep calm in front of Ryan and others.

In the end, the eldest son of the Viscount left with anger and resentment.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Ryan and Barnes looked at each other.

"It seems that Viscount Miles can't beat Viscount Dragun."

Ryan said with a sigh, because the eldest son of Dragun would surpass this one no matter where he was.

Time goes back to a few hours ago.

Ellis Dragun, the eldest son of Viscount Dragun, rode a warhorse alone to the North Wind Flower. He did not enter the castle, but left after leaving a few words.

"As long as the three barons do not become enemies of the Dragun family, they will always be friends of the Dragun family."

"I hope the three barons will not be blinded by interests. We can divide all the land together."

"If the three barons decide to become enemies of the Dragun family, they will become enemies of our 50,000 troops. Our soldiers will definitely trample this ancient castle and plant the Dragun flag on the North Wind Flower."

I don't know if this is what the viscount taught him or the language of his own organization. In the end, he also gave Ryan and others a little shock.

"Soon, the eldest son of Viscount Miles will come here. He has snatched the task that should have belonged to Rag. You don't have much time to think."

This is to tell them that Dragun can fully grasp the information within the Viscount Miles family. Faced with such an advantage, Viscount Dragun doesn't know how to lose.

That's why Ryan tried this.

Compared to Ryan, Barnes was much more serious.

"They can't have 50,000 troops, far from it, but they can't have too few, 10,000 for sure."

"This number cannot break my North Wind Flower, but it can make us unable to move, and then we will get nothing."

They gathered together for profit after all. If they get nothing, they will lose a lot.

"Don't worry, Mr. Barnes, you forgot the most serious thing."

Ryan said with a smile.

"You forgot that our Viscount County Governor is really dying."

"I thought he would not survive the last winter, but since he survived the last winter, he is destined to be buried this winter."

"I think this is why Viscount Dragun was able to provoke the relationship within Viscount Miles' circle."

"But they all underestimated an old man who was about to die, an old guy who could hide his identity as a magician for so many years, especially when the other party knew that his family descendants had no ability."

"For the wealth and land of the Miles family, he will go crazy."

"We just have to wait, they will give us a chance."

After Ryan finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the castle.

He did not have much confidence in Viscount Miles's guess, but felt that if Viscount Miles lost too badly, it would be unworthy of the Viscount family's methods of plundering Lingdu County for so many years.

Similarly, he also gave Baron Barnes some confidence. He suddenly found that the baron was not as determined as he imagined to fight against the two viscounts.
