When Ryan's soldiers returned, all their faces were filled with smiles and confidence.
Ryan fulfilled their promise, canceled their status as slaves, and became the subjects of Frozen Earth Territory as a soldier and a civilian. Even in the following war, they were able to fight for their own house.
If part of the pie drawn by Ryan has been realized, then these soldiers will not doubt the remaining part.
Looking at these soldiers, Ryan believes that even if Artel appears now, these soldiers will not remember their identity as slaves of Count Weiss, but will fight harder because of it.
After enjoying better treatment, they are absolutely unwilling to go back and become slaves.
As for other issues, Ryan even promised to send them women.
"Baronet Thule."
Looking at the noble Lordship in front of him, Ryan seemed to have just remembered and said:
"Oh, by the way, I forgot, Baronet System will not be fully established until this year's Divine Grace Festival, so for now, I should call you Knight Ture. You are not yet a noble. According to the rules, you are not yet a noble."
When he said this, Ryan's palm subconsciously touched Knight's Greatsword on his waist.
"I respect your identity, Knight Ture, Pioneer Knight, but you died while developing territory. This is also the fate of many Pioneers. What do you think, Knight Ture?"
Seeing Ryan's actions, the captured Touré knight was already frightened. He was afraid of the coming of death, so he shouted.
"Baron Ryan, I am Lordship, and I am Lordship recognized by the empire. You cannot kill me."
"I just said that Baronet System will not be fully established until Divine Grace Festival. You are not yet."
"I... even if I am not Lordship, I am still a pioneering noble. I am willing to spend money to redeem my freedom."
"Of course it's possible, but I don't seem to be very short of money now, and what is the war between you and Baron Byrde about?"
"The battle for land, but after this year Divine Grace Festival, you will be Lordship, and your territory will completely belong to the baby Baron who is about to be born, right? Are you so concerned about it?"
Ryan looked at Tu Lei Baron and said in a guessing tone:
"Or are you not going to swear allegiance to the Baron who is still in your belly, and want to occupy your own territory and fight against the Baron that you are attached to?"
"This... of course is not like this."
Touré's face was dripping with sweat.
Ryan suddenly said at this time:
"I plan to send you to the territory of Baron Monoz. As a noble, I don't plan to ask for your ransom. I think that although Baron Monoz is not born yet, he will definitely thank me in the future."
"No, I'm not going there!"
Tu Lei Baron shouted loudly that he had his own territory, his own wealth and people, so he would not be willing to be imprisoned in Baron's territory.
During this time, he and the Baron family where Baron was not yet born were having constant disputes.
"This is not up to you. What you should be thinking about now is how much wealth and people I allow you to be sent to the territory of Baron Monoz."
Tu Lei's face was full of despair. He stared at Ryan, trying to see any room for bargaining on Ryan's young face.
"I..."
In the end, the future Baronet Thule was defeated. Because the Baron he was attached to was not born yet, he had a lot of freedom. He could even independently attach to Viscount Dragoon as Lordship. But similarly, in front of Ryan, he had no room for resistance because of this.
The Baron Monoz family will never speak for him, and they even wish that he would be escorted to Baron to swear allegiance to Baron.
The most important thing is that Baronet Thule really felt the murderous intention from Ryan.
He would really kill himself. This was the reason why he did not dare to refute.
"Your family developed today's Knightdom. I believe Baronet Thule that you will also develop the same territory in the future."
Ryan said with a smile, and Tu Lei became even more desperate because of this.
"Baron Byrde, are you satisfied with this result?"
Ryan turned his head and looked at Baron Byrde, who was a little excited.
"Satisfied, of course satisfied."
Baronet Thule gave Knightdom to Ryan, and Ryan gave half of it to Baron Byrde.
"The other half of the territory is also yours. After all, my territory is in Frozen Earth Territory, which is too far away from here. When Baron Byrde you fulfill all your promises, I will completely hand over that territory to you."
"Don't worry Ryan, I will send people to Frozen Earth Territory for the annual food and Iron Ore. This is a promise between us, and Bayard Family will never break his promise."
"I believe Bayard Family will never break his promise."
Ryan said with a smile, while Baron Byrde looked at the army in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, Ryan did not add Gold Coin to the conditions.
Ryan Do you want more? Of course it's not a lot, it's just a little bit every year, and the amount won't make Baron Byrde have other thoughts in his mind.
At least, not within ten years.
And the most important thing is that Ryan will collect the wealth and population in Baronet Thule's territory during this period. Except for the soldiers and slaves that Baronet Thule himself took away, as well as part of the wealth, the rest all belong to Ryan.
His army started from Flower of Northwind, but now the number has become larger.
Knightdom of Baronet Thule has a population of only about 1,700. He took away more than 600 and left more than 1,000 people. Ryan occupied more than 500 young and strong families, and the rest was left to Baron Byrde. Of course, this Baron also had to pay for a small batch of purchased Gold Coin.
These things naturally caused the army to be stranded in Gladiator's Domain, and the news here at Ryan, of course, spread to the ears of the brand new Viscount Miles in the distant Zero Crossing City.
Bang!
Rag angrily pushed down the delicate food and silverware in front of him. Looking at the mess on the floor, no one of the maids around him dared to come out and clean it up.
"Damn damn Baron of the Frozen Earth! And that Kristan, how dare he come back!"
Rag roared in anger.
"The Viscount is already mine, yet he dares to come back. A deported villain dares to touch the glory of the Miles Family!"
"He should die, he should die!!!"
Rag's roar made the surrounding maids tremble even more. At this time, only one person dared to appear in front of Rag.
Casto looked at the furious Rag in front of him and said:
"The most important thing now is that Baron Ryan is leading an army to sweep away the nobles who are attached to you. Baron Byrde has betrayed you. If he is allowed to continue, the army in his hands will make all the nobles leave you and support that Kristan instead."
Hearing this, Rag panicked inside, and he forced himself to calm down.
"How can Baron Ryan have so many troops? Doesn't he have no soldiers anymore?"
Casto also looked gloomy. He didn't know why, but he probably guessed it but couldn't say it out of his mouth.
Rag also reacted and looked at Casto.
"The troops belonging to Count Weiss were actually turned into his own army by Baron of the Frozen Earth, and in his hands, your army turned out to be so elite."
Are you saying you are incompetent? Casto stared at Rag. He respected the previous Viscount Miles, but there were really not many people in front of him.
"Hmph! Mr. Viscount Miles, there are rumors outside that Kristan is the real Viscount Miles. Maybe you should worry about this matter instead of questioning the count."
Rag punched the table.
"We must defeat Ryan before his army reaches the next noble's territory!"
"He will never be allowed to ruin Count Weiss's plan."
