At the same time, in another county of Northwind Province, Dragon Mountain County.
Among the seven counties of Northwind Province, Dragon Mountain County is the territory of Count Soron. Except for the earl, all the remaining nobles are the nobles who followed Count Soron back then, so there has never been a contradiction like Zero Crossing Prefecture.
Most of the chaos in Northwind Province was solved through political means within Dragon Mountain County, so for the nobles here, they have been watching the show for a long time.
But what happened to Zero Crossing Prefecture recently made them confused.
"Lord Frozen Earth Territory, that Baron Ryan actually won all the wars, including the two viscount families, and became his defeated generals?"
"How is this possible? I still know about that crappy place Frozen Earth Territory."
Some nobles were shocked, while others were silent and focused on another matter.
Miraculously, although the death of Viscount Dragoon caused an earthquake, Viscount Miles, who killed him, also died. Therefore, among these nobles, the death of Ellis·Dragon was even more shocking than the viscount himself.
Because he was assassinated, Viscount Dragoon can still be cleansed. It is said that he fought Viscount Miles for the glory of the nobles. If the life-and-death confrontation between the two nobles is exaggerated, it may still be inspiring.
But the assassination of his eldest son cannot be justified.
And most importantly what? It was he who died at the hands of assassins. Those assassins used exactly the same methods as those in Orc War that led to the massive death of Dragonblood Warriors and the fall of Flying Wolf Cavalry.
Soron Count Family What is the most powerful foundation? Isn't it the Dragonblood Cavalry?
"Count Weiss, is there really an extraordinary assassin army in hand? Can even nobles be assassinated?"
Their eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Earldom. The old earl had recently started training.
Northlands's nobles are like this. Only when a war is about to come, they will train troops on a large scale, because this can ensure that food consumption is within an acceptable range.
Obviously, Earldom's actions made everyone realize that war was coming.
People outside say that Count Soron is old and not as arrogant as he once was, but these old subordinates who have followed the Count for many years know this very well.
This person is Dragonblood Warriors. She looks old, but in fact she is still very young. She could easily live another hundred and eighty years.
The old dragon was just taking a nap. Count Legion Commander, who was once in blood and fire, made countless enemies frightened.
Dragon Mountain County City, this is a city built on the mountain, half of which is in the mountain. It is also a fortress. It once resisted Dragons. Nowadays, traces of the ravages of Dragons can still be seen in many places.
This is the fiefdom of Count Soron, which means that no matter what, Soron Count Family will have the right to rule this city.
At this moment, Count Soron woke up from his deep sleep, looking at the soldiers reporting below with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Lord Earl, the news has been confirmed to be true. Ellis·Dragon was indeed killed by an assassin, and the assassin came from Count Weiss."
After hearing the news, Count Soron was silent for a long time, then squinted at the sky outside and said:
"This winter will probably be colder than before."
"Write a letter to Love and ask him if he wants to start a war."
A few days later, Frozen Earth Territory welcomed a guest.
The big shot from Count Winter Territory, Countess Alavea Birdway, is a woman with a charming appearance and an impressive figure. At the same time, she is also the only recorded Saint Domain Mage of Northwind Province.
The existence of Count Winter and the Countess, one Sanctuary Knight and one Saint Domain Mage, the two Saint Realms, allowed the count family to firmly occupy the position of Northwind Province governor.
Ryan is a little surprised. Although this countess likes to go out unlike other noble ladies, she actually comes to Frozen Earth Territory in person.
Looking at the development of Frozen Earth Territory, Countess Winter is quite surprised.
"You can actually develop this place like this."
The countess's surprise was not false. When she was looking for magic materials in Northlands, she had also stopped at the then-unowned castle on Rhino Horn Mountain. The castle at that time was just like when Ryan first arrived, with only three or five houses.
"Thank you Countess Winter for the compliment. I wonder why Countess Winter came to Frozen Earth Territory?"
As a noble, regardless of the gap in strength between Noble Title and Ryan, he was neither humble nor overbearing and asked directly.
The countess looked at Ryan and said:
"I am here on behalf of the Winter Count Family to give Frozen Earth Territory Baron a gift."
"Ryan You are the child of Count Clayton. When you come to the territory of Northwind Province, we should give you a gift as a matter of course."
After saying that, he directed the servant to place boxes of Gold Coin in front of Ryan, a total of 20,000 Gold Coin. It can be seen that Count Winter is indeed very generous.
It's just that Ryan complained in his heart that the gift would be delivered sooner rather than later, but it happened to be delivered at this time.
With a smile on his face, he said:
"Deities will also be moved by the generosity of the Earl family."
Ryan accepted the gift, but the countess had no intention of leaving. After Frozen Earth Territory walked for more than an hour, she returned to the castle on Rhino Horn Mountain and finally talked about business with Ryan.
"Back then, we were friends with your father Ryan. I'm very happy to see you develop your own territory in Northwind Province."
"But under Baronet System, the entire Northwind Province is experiencing war over land. As a noble, we don't want war to happen."
The countess spoke, but Ryan did not answer, but said:
"As far as I know, Northwind Province has stabilized at present, and the land disputes in several counties have ended?"
Indeed, just as Zero Crossing Prefecture and Baron Ryan defeated all the nobles, some of the other counties had no suspense, and some were suppressed by several viscounts. Northwind Province Almost every one of the seven counties has entered a vacuum period of war.
The reason why it is almost the same is because Cold Mountain County, the county that was the most severely ravaged, still has not figured out where belongs to whom.
"Is the war over?"
The countess shook her head, looked at Ryan and said:
"The war is about to begin. Ryan, Northwind Province is not peaceful. Count Weiss betrayed the honor of the nobles and actually assassinated a noble successor. This is an act that is despised by all nobles in the empire. At the same time, Council of Elders will also be punished."
Ryan deliberately showed confusion on his face and said:
"In that case, let's just wait for Council of Elders to take action. I think those legions of Winged Gorge will be happy to plunder Count Weiss's wealth."
Alavea shook his head and looked at the innocent-looking Ryan in front of him, no longer beating around the bush.
"Northwind Province will not allow Winged Gorge's legion to appear. Likewise, the empire's Council of Elders will not punish Count Weiss."
"Ryan, you have to understand that Northwind Province has been abandoned by the empire, and the people here are no longer even recognized by the people of South."
"This war can only be ended between us."
Ryan knew in his heart that Count Winter just didn't want to give up many benefits, and even wanted to monopolize Weiss Ducal Family's wealth.
Even if the entire wealth of Northwind Province can be collected, Count Winter may not be able to become Legendary. The earl family may not be able to become the fifth powerful prince of the empire.
He is also ambitious.
