Five days later, Ryan led the army to the city of Zero Crossing City.
He will make a deal with Rag here, and the latter will exchange a large amount of wealth for the army belonging to Miles. The deal is successful, and Rag's suspicion that Ryan will take the opportunity to attack has not happened.
"Where are their weapons?"
A member of Miles said angrily. He looked at the soldiers who were pushed out. It could be said that their bodies were clean.
"They are prisoners, do I still need to equip them with weapons? Those are my war trophies."
Ryan waved his hand.
"If you don't leave, how about you stay here?"
Shrinking their necks, Miles members led the army back to the city with some fear.
But Ryan's army did not leave because of this.
On the city wall, Rag looked at Ryan's army below and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"Ryan! What on earth do you want to do? There is no way you can capture Zero Crossing City."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Ryan responded loudly, and then murmured a voice that only he could hear.
"There are many strong fortresses in the world, and most of them are breached from within."
Ryan's army was stationed outside Zero Crossing City. The arrival of the army made people in the city panic. That night, there was a commotion.
"Ryan, will they succeed?"
Kristan was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night long and came frequently to look for Ryan.
"It depends on what kind of status you Kristan has in the Miles Family."
Kristan lowered his head. In fact, he was not that good to those people based on his status.
"If your identity as the legitimate successor is not recognized, then your army will no longer belong to you, and we will not be able to enter this city at all. From now on, you can just be your wandering knight."
Kristan panicked, turned around and left, and began to arrange for his people to constantly find ways to enter Zero Crossing City, urging those Miles Family members in the city to take action.
I don't know how many Ryans were promised in this, but Ryan knows that all these things will lay the groundwork for the Miles Family, and it will become easier to control Miles Family in the future.
Thinking of this, Ryan slept particularly soundly.
The next day, Kristan became even more anxious. Until noon, there was no movement in Zero Crossing City.
"You won't fail, right?"
When Twilight, Kristan finally saw Zero Crossing City's city gate open, and blood spread out from there. Hundreds of people crowded out of the city. In the center of them, Ryan saw Rag, who was restrained, struggling and angry.
"You are all traitors to the Miles Family! Traitors!"
"Miles will be buried in your hands!"
Ryan rode a war horse and came here surrounded by soldiers. He smiled and looked at the exposed Rag·Viscount Miles.
"Mr. Rag, Viscount Miles wants to see you."
As he said that, the soldiers around him couldn't help but push aside the people around him and brought Rag to the tent in the center of the camp.
The Miles members behind him were stopped outside the army.
There were only three people in the tent, Ryan, Kristan, and Rag. Looking at Rag lying on the ground staring at Kristan, Ryan laughed.
"Two viscounts, don't you want to talk?"
"Kristan, you are the sinner of the Miles Family!"
Rag was roaring. He stared at his brother, never expecting that he would fail in this way.
Kristan clenched his fists and shouted loudly.
"I am the successor of the Miles Family, and you are just a shameless villain and a thief!"
"I am Viscount Miles, and my father was also deceived by you, and actually framed me and expelled me."
When Rag heard Kristan's words, everyone laughed and started mocking.
"Kristan, you are a waste, idiot, idiot! What do you know?"
"If you weren't so stupid, why would father give Noble Title to me?"
"Do you know anything about politics? Do you know what Count Weiss is going to do? The whole Northwind Province will be plunged into the quagmire of war. If you, a fool, become a viscount, Miles Family will be buried because of you."
"Only me, only choosing me can guarantee the continuation of the Miles Family!"
Kristan punched Rag on the face. He was also a knight. This punch directly caused Rag's head to break and bleed.
"I am...Viscount Miles."
Kristan stared at Rag, and the killing intent in his eyes finally made Rag fearful.
He looked at Ryan.
"Baron Ryan, whatever you want, I can give you whatever he can give you. I am Viscount Miles, and I have the power and wealth."
Ryan touched his chin hesitantly, which made Kristan panic and said quickly:
"Baron Ryan, we agreed, I am willing to give you 10% more."
Ryan looked at Kristan and finally no longer hesitated.
"Lord Viscount, won't you take action?"
Kristan looked at Rag with crazy eyes in front of him and hesitated a little. He had never committed murder before.
Ryan next to him took action, and Knight's Greatsword directly penetrated Rag's chest, making the clamoring voice disappear immediately.
"Let's go, there are many people waiting for the new Viscount Miles."
Ryan took Kristan out of the tent and came to the front of the army. Looking at the eyes staring at him, Kristan finally became bolder.
"I'm back!"
"Lord Viscount!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd, followed by hundreds of people all shouting.
"Lord Viscount."
Kristan was a little light at the front of the team, and entered Zero Crossing City together with Ryan. Looking at the cheering civilians and soldiers on both sides of the street, he was intoxicated by the authority.
"Congratulations, you got back everything that belongs to you."
Miles Family's mansion, Ryan congratulates Kristan.
"This victory belongs to both of us, Baron Ryan."
There was a lot of blood in the Viscount's Mansion, and it was obvious that Zero Crossing City was not as quiet as expected today.
"The banquet is ready, but now we need to make sure everything belongs to you."
After Ryan finished speaking, Kristan's expression also became heavy.
"Let's go."
Soon, Ryan saw Viscount Miles unconscious on the bed. The old Viscount could no longer wake up. His weak breathing proved that he was still alive, but that was all.
"People outside say that your father was deceived by Rag, but you know the truth. Those people think that you should become a viscount, so they are helping you, but similarly, no one can be greater than your father in their hearts."
Ryan took out the gem dagger from Kristan's waist, handed it to Kristan's hand, and then walked out, ensuring that there would be no third person in the room.
After a while, Kristan, who was trembling all over, came out. Ryan held his shoulders and smelled the blood that dissipated when the door closed.
To welcome the return of the Viscount, tonight's banquet in Zero Crossing City will be very lively.
