At the banquet to welcome Kristan, besides the viscount, the one who attracted the most attention was Ryan.

Everyone knows who helped Kristan regain the rights of the viscount. Some of them have even been connected with Ryan. In many divisions of interests, they actually stand on the side of Ryan.

Ryan deals with it all calmly.

He and his army rested in Zero Crossing City for three days. Early on the fourth day, Ryan came to Kristan.

The new Viscount already possesses a lot of dignity, and his behavior is similar to that of his father. There is nothing strange about him. He has been imitating and trying every day for decades.

In the eyes of everyone, he is indeed more like a noble nobleman than Rag. This is Kristan's decades of accumulation.

"Your Majesty the Viscount seems to enjoy this right?"

"But our war is not over yet."

Kristan frowned. Just three days later, he no longer had the humility he had when he treated Ryan before.

"Ryan, we have won. I am a noble and will not break my promise. Maybe we can try to rest."

"Rest? That is really the scene Dragoon Family wants to see the most."

Ryan looked at Kristan with a smile and said:

"You haven't forgotten who killed Viscount Dragoon and Dragoon Family's eldest son, right?"

"No matter who in that family becomes Viscount Dragoon, they all need to go to war against the Miles Family and take revenge, so that they can secure the Viscount's Noble Title."

"Everyone knows who killed their viscount, who killed their eldest brother."

"And now, their only enemy is you."

Kristan was a little helpless. His father killed Viscount Dragoon. This incident indeed caused a big storm in the entire Northwind Province.

This matter has even been conveyed to the interior of the empire. If Northwind Province was indeed too biased, the empire would be shaken by this.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you Baron Ryan."

"It's us, all our nobles."

Ryan said.

"Every noble needs to send an army under my command, including you, Viscount."

Kristan nodded, there was nothing he wanted to refuse.

"I will make the army obey your command, and I believe you can bring us a greater victory."

Ryan once again started a war, not only to take the opportunity to control the entire Zero Crossing Prefecture, but also for the land disputes between nobles.

The land conflict caused by the emergence of Baronet System broke out. If it was not resolved, the entire Zero Crossing Prefecture would become a mess. This was not what he wanted to see.

Especially what he didn't want to see after taking control of Zero Crossing Prefecture's rights.

As for Kristan... Ryan believes that after he takes away most of the army, Zero Crossing Prefecture will not be in peace.

This Viscount will have times when he begs for help.

After two days of rest, Ryan embarked on the journey again with an army of more than 3,500.

Compared with before, this time he had won many battles. No noble could resist Ryan. In order to train the combat effectiveness of the army, when encountering the territories of Lordship and Baron, Ryan mostly arranged for his own soldiers to conduct large-scale operations.

In the Dragoon Family, it has not been able to gather enough troops to fight against Ryan. After war after war, the nobles who originally relied on Viscount Dragoon have switched to Ryan.

And there is no one in the Dragoon Family who can realize this.

Dragoon Viscount's Territory, Baron Enzo Looking at the brothers who were still noisy and arguing about who would become the viscount, they finally became furious.

Silver Knight's physical pressure directly crushed the table in front of him, and he pulled out Knight's Greatsword.

"The armies of Ryan and Miles are less than five days away from us, but you are still quarreling here, unable to stop Ryan's army. Do you think it is up to you to decide which of you becomes a viscount?"

"We want revenge. Whoever can avenge father and brother is the new viscount!"

"What we are about to face is Lord Frozen Earth Territory, who fought two praised wars. If you lose, you will lose everything!"

"Enzo, what do you think we should do?"

Torston·Dragon asked, his expression gloomy. These days, his second brother has been under too much pressure.

"Organize the army, we need to win this war."

Enzo said in a deep voice.

"Since you say so, then go ahead. You must know that when my father was still alive, he always valued your military talents. Anyway, he would call you every time there was a war."

Torston said, directing Enzo to leave. With him here, all the brothers and sisters are very stressed.

Baron Enzo left without saying a word. Rather than the intrigues here, he hoped to vent his power in the war.

Dragoon Viscount's Territory's military strength has always been stronger than Miles, but in the previous decisive battle between the two viscounts, they also suffered heavy losses due to the existence of Rage Potion.

So Baron Enzo approached Baron Kendra. This Baron was now ostracized by Dragon's faction, but the dozens of knights under his army forced Enzo to win over him.

Coupled with the troops gathered by some Lordship and Baron nobles who were afraid of the Ryan army, Baron Enzo gathered an army of more than 4,000 people in just three days.

Of course, Baron Enzo knew very well that although he had a slight numerical advantage, most of his soldiers were an army composed of slaves, and their combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as that of Ryan.

"We only play defense. Their army has a lot of soldiers and they won't be able to hold out for long."

"In addition, Baron Kendra, you and Baron Roach will each lead an army to guard the mountains on both sides."

Baron Enzo stationed the army in the valley, and then sent troops to the peaks on both sides.

"If we don't take the initiative to fight, as long as we hold on, they will be defeated in half a month at most."

Enzo arranged the garrison of the army in an orderly manner. When Ryan's army came to them, Baron Enzo also arranged everything.

"It looks like it is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Ryan After finishing speaking, he rested on the spot for an hour before letting the soldiers charge.

Of course, none of the soldiers in this charge belonged to him, they all belonged to the nobles.

Most of them are just slave soldiers. In Zero Crossing Prefecture, if one Baron can pull out a hundred regular soldiers, it is considered good. Slave soldiers are still the main method of warfare.

Soldiers from both sides fought on the battlefield. After leaving three to four hundred corpses, Ryan's army collapsed and retreated.

"It's not a showy thing."

Seeing this result, Ryan stopped arranging people to look for opportunities in the surrounding mountains.
