Throne of the North

Of course the nobles had an insight into Viscount Dragon's methods, but they had no choice.

They must return to their own territory, otherwise except for the soldiers brought to Lingdu City, they believe that they will lose everything. Their people will appear as slaves in the territory of those attacking nobles, their wealth, The food in their warehouses will also be plundered completely. They believe that the other party can do this because they can do it themselves.

Similarly, as the leader of many nobles, Viscount Miles could not think of a way to deal with it.

Before today, no one would have known that Viscount Dragon would do this. They had even built defenses in Lingdu City.

"Castor, what can you do?"

Viscount Miles looked at Castor Weiss sitting next to him, who also frowned.

He came to Lingdu County this time. One was to help Earl Miles so that his father could gain support from Lingdu County. The second was selfish. He wanted the Miles family to support the Weiss family while also supporting them. Support him personally.

He knew his father's ambitions and what he wanted, so for future plans, he wanted a piece of his own rights.

This is inseparable from the support of all aspects of the Earl of Weiss family. In his vision, the Viscount Miles family is the most important support among them.

So he was happy to help Viscount Miles, but he had already failed once, and he only had 1,500 troops left.

After a moment, Castor looked up.

"Viscount Dragon is doing this because he wants us to leave Lingdu City and start a war with them. Since he wants it, let's just leave the city."

"Even without Lingdu City, we still have an absolute advantage. Don't forget, we have more soldiers, and we also have more knights."

Next to Viscount Miles, Largo still had some doubts. He looked at Castor and asked:

"But if we leave Lingdu City, we will lose the advantage of the city, and we don't know if Viscount Dragon has other support."

Castor looked at Rag with some surprise, then glanced at Christian on the other side and said:

"Don't worry, the two earl families in Beifeng Province did not provide support to Dragon. As for the Lingdu County, there is only the Tundra Baron. Although his soldiers won the war, his soldiers also The casualties were heavy and they couldn’t help the Dragon family at all.”

After hearing this, Viscount Miles felt relieved. He knew that going out of the city to fight Dragon was the best choice.

"So……"

The elderly Viscount Miles coughed a few times and said weakly to the other nobles:

"The Miles family will also support some of your soldiers so that you can repel the nobles who invade your territory."

"Thank you, Lord Viscount."

The nobles thanked Viscount Miles, and then left anxiously to return to their own territory.

This dispute between the two viscounts of Lingdu County finally turned into a big melee in the entire county.

In just the past two days, wars have broken out in the territories close to Lingdu City. Every day that passes, new territorial wars will break out, from battlefields of hundreds of people to fighting of thousands of people. Permeated in every corner of Lingdu County.

As for Ryan?

Ryan is training his soldiers.

He stood in the military camp, watching Brand loudly scolding the soldiers, and then thinking about the war taking place in Lingdu County today.

"The emergence of chaos and war is, in essence, greed for profit and the emergence of the Lordship system."

"The latter caused the former to change from thought to action. The Lordship system forced the lords of the knights to attach themselves to the fifth-class nobles. Naturally, the fifth-class nobles would not allow the existence of enclaves, because it represented their It’s hard to get to those places.”

"This would result in those Lords who, although being Lords, may have the substantive rights of a Baron."

"Secondly, connecting the lord's territories is also convenient for management, so that more people and wealth can be used to develop their own territories. This is also what those lords need. It is difficult for their original territories to have further space. After all, There is only so much wealth that can be generated each year, and it can become less and less due to various accidents.”

"The Lord also needs to rely on the fifth-class nobles to put his status above more people. Of course, this is certainly not as comfortable as being a local emperor in his own territory."

"So, it's hard to say how many of the nobles who started the war really want to move their territories next to other nobles."

"But this war is what they want, to plunder more wealth and more slaves before the Lordship system is fully implemented."

"The nobles of Beifeng Province really have strong folk customs."

Ryan was sorting out the thoughts in his mind. He was thinking about what else he could gain in the coming territorial war.

After much deliberation, there is no good solution. It is indeed difficult to do anything when one's own army has suffered heavy losses.

Preserving existing interests is all Ryan can think of for the time being.

"We can only wait until they have some problems with each other before we can find opportunities."

Ryan thought this way, of course, at this time, the most important thing for him is to train a brand new army so that he can seize the opportunity when it comes.

Training a similar army is not a difficult task for Ryan, especially since these soldiers are all "veterans" who have survived a tragic war.

His training method is advanced enough, and he gives these soldiers enough things. He can even let these people see the best among them being blessed by the deer spirit and becoming a knight master.

How could there be a lack of excellent soldiers in front of such a big pie.

Other nobles think that Ryan has already defeated his elite, but Ryan himself does not think so.

The peace in the territory of North Wind Flower continues, but the war between other nobles in Lingdu County is in full swing. Ryan even knows that in other counties in the North Wind Province, large and small frictions are also breaking out. The territorial friction caused by the lord system is getting more and more intense.

The time came to about mid-August, and the armies of the two viscounts in Lingdu County finally confronted each other on a plain.

Among the 3,500 soldiers belonging to Viscount Dragun, more than 1,000 of them were temporarily transferred slave soldiers who had only undergone about ten days of training.

There were also 5,000 soldiers belonging to Viscount Miles and Castor, half of whom were slave soldiers, about 2,000 in total.
