Soon after, Ryan learned that the army on the opposite side was commanded by Baron Enzo.

"This Baron Enzo is the one who beat Madge Miles Baron and fled back to Zero Crossing City."

"And it seems that Baron Enzo is Viscount Dragoon's favorite son, and he even went so far as to get a portion of Pioneer Noble Decree for him, making him a fief Baron."

"It's just that Viscount Dragoon can't do anything like Viscount Miles. He can't give his Viscount's Territory to Baron Enzo."

"You have become Silver Knight at such a young age, coupled with the attitude of Viscount Dragoon."

"This Baron Enzo, I'm afraid there is no hope of becoming Sky Knight or Sanctuary Knight in the future."

Ryan dropped the information in his hand and looked at Brandt.

"Brandt, do you think we can break through this Baron Enzo's defense?"

Brandt had firm eyes and replied respectfully:

"Lord, if you let me lead the army to the battlefield in person, I promise to break through his defenses."

"I believe in your strength and my soldiers, but how many people will we lose?"

"Although we have more than three thousand soldiers, if at least three to four hundred people die in a war, our army will collapse."

"Death in war has always been a heavy word."

"And Brandt, victory in war does not have to be achieved on the battlefield."

"That's what warriors need to think about, and I'm a lord, a noble."

Ryan looked at the distant horizon and suddenly laughed.

"Why would Dragoon Family be willing to see Baron Enzo leading an army?"

Ryan stopped organizing an army attack and fell into the flesh and blood grindstone. The two sides faced off. However, there were many rumors in Zero Crossing Prefecture, especially in the area close to Dragoon Viscount's Territory.

"Baron Enzo led the army and went to war with Baron Ryan's army."

"Baron Enzo is the son of Lord Viscount who is the best at military warfare. He is very good."

"Baron Enzo wanted to avenge the Viscount. That shameless Miles Family actually killed Viscount Dragoon and the Viscount's heir."

"Baron Enzo has thousands of troops, he will definitely succeed."

Such rumors were nothing at first.

But gradually...

"Who will become the new Viscount? But if Baron Enzo avenges the Viscount and kills Miles Family's people, then who else can become the Viscount besides him?"

"But he is already Baron."

"Baron Enzo is not only Master Baron, but also the child of Lord Viscount. It seems more reasonable for a nobleman to inherit another nobleman Noble Title, especially since the eldest son of the Viscount has died."

"However, even though the successor is dead, Master Torston will become the eldest child of Lord Viscount..."

"Master Torston did not avenge Lord Viscount, but now Baron Enzo wants to avenge Lord Viscount."

Bang!

Looking at Torston who was a little annoyed and regretful in front of him, Harrington's heart skipped a beat, but he still said:

"Mr. Thurston, what are you thinking about?"

Torston looked at Harrington, his voice cold.

"Are you from the Clayton Family?"

Harrington raised his chest.

"I have the blood of the Clayton Family. Although I am much different from Master Ryan, I am still more noble than ordinary knights."

Torston nodded. He recognized Harrington's identity and communicated with him on an equal footing.

"Enzo, are you really avenging your father?"

Harrington smiled and said:

"Mr. Thurston, is this important? What is important is that everyone knows that Baron Enzo wants to avenge his father, and is the only nobleman who has taken action, but you are competing for the Viscount's Noble Title."

"Perhaps, they would rather see Baron Enzo become Viscount Dragoon."

"Impossible! After the death of my eldest brother, I am the eldest son of the Dragoon Family."

"Yes, you are the eldest son of the Dragoon Family now, but why haven't you become Viscount Dragoon yet?"

Harrington looked at Torston, who was silent.

His father and his mother gave birth to too many outstanding children. Although their younger brother Enzo·Dragon is certainly the best, their eldest brother is equally outstanding, and even his brothers and sisters are also outstanding.

One of the two sisters is studying at West Coast Academy of Magic in the empire, and the other has become a powerful Noble Sorcerer. The younger brother is equally outstanding and married the daughter of a South noble. The rich dowry shocked him.

Compared to the Miles Family, Dragoon Family is simply thriving. Viscount Dragoon has shown off the superiority of his blood more than once.

But now, everyone is too good, so they are qualified to compete for power. Behind them, there are many nobles supporting them.

Only he, because of his age and legitimacy, suppressed all voices, otherwise the outcome might have been decided by now.

"Among the Miles Family, Mr. Kristan is the eldest son. Even though he became Wandering Nobles, he still got back his Noble Title with the help of my lord."

"The same principle applies to the Dragoon Family. There seems to be no solution. You are the eldest. According to the orthodoxy of inheritance, you should become a Viscount, but you are still the child of a Viscount after all this time."

"The oldest child."

"That's enough!"

Torston roared, "I know what Baron Ryan behind you wants, but I will not abandon the interests of the Dragoon Family."

"Dragoon Family's interests? That doesn't belong to you yet, and you should know my lord."

Harrington said confidently:

"Master Ryan has won too many wars, and he has never lost. Although your brother Baron Enzo is powerful, Master Ryan can kill Golden Barbarian from Count Weiss's Territory. Master Ryan will definitely win this war."

"When the time comes, you still won't be able to protect Dragoon Family's interests."

"What's more, Master Ryan has already said that he will resolve Zero Crossing Prefecture's land disputes, all noble territories will be properly planned, and he will bring Dragoon Family's wealth to a higher level, but now you are unwilling to use part of it to reward my lord."

Harrington snorted and walked outside.

"Mr. Thurston, think about it carefully. If this war lasts for a long time, when Baron Enzo returns to Viscount's Territory with thousands of soldiers, it won't be your turn to decide who should succeed the Viscount."

Hearing this, Torston's expression finally changed.

He finally remembered what he was regretting.

The army is in the hands of Enzo.
