Ryan is not that anxious, just like Northwind Province some other nobles are actually not that anxious either.

The biggest reason is that although Count Weiss shows his ambition, he is still a noble.

He has not betrayed his status as a noble, and even gave a reason for the outbreak of the war. He was just conducting military exchanges with Viscount Hogg, but he happened to encounter the invasion of the armies of Iron Mountain County and Northwind County, and then...

In the blink of an eye, the reinforcements turned into invaders, the initiators of the war.

At the same time, Count Weiss was also shocked by the news that Ellis·Dragon was assassinated, and regretted the death of a nobleman. He gave Dragoon Family one hundred thousand Gold Coin as condolences. From the standpoint of the nobles, he declared that he would help Dragoon Family catch the murderer.

Of course, Count Weiss would not admit the condemnation of other nobles, and even started to ask Viscount Miles if Miles Family had secretly cultivated assassins.

Indeed, Viscount Dragoon was killed by Viscount Miles in full public view. Many nobles who did not know why would of course directly suspect Miles Family.

There is no evidence that can be identified on Count Weiss, so it is difficult to punish Count Weiss according to the rules of the nobility.

On the contrary, Miles Family will definitely be directly held accountable by the empire in the near future.

"Then, Miles Family became the one who took the blame and the initiator of the war. He also became Count Winter and Iron Mountain County. Count Weiss justifiably started the war."

In Dragon Mountain County City, Count Soron looked at the message from Count Winter, then turned his head and looked at the message from Count Weiss on the other side.

He was considering who to help. Although Count Weiss caused heavy losses to his Extraordinary Legion, the conditions offered by the other party were really tempting, and at the same time they compensated him hugely.

Count Soron hesitated for a moment. The majestic blood turned the letter in his hand into Ash, and the old earl walked out of the room.

In the garden, Count Soron saw his eldest son, Fidel·Sauron.

"Did you just come back?"

Count Soron asked, he saw the white snow covering the eldest son's body.

Fidel nodded and responded respectfully:

"Father."

"I'm going to hand out the pensions to the soldiers for the second half of the year. This winter seems to be extremely cold, and their lives are a little difficult. I privately turned some Gold Coin into winter items and gave them to them."

Upon hearing the news, Sauron's heart surged with anger again.

"Love!"

He finally made a decision and sent an envoy to Northwind City that year.

"Hmph!"

After Count Weiss learned about Count Soron's choice, he couldn't help but snorted.

"Old thing."

He knew that his previous methods still offended the hot-tempered old guy, but now he was not the same as before. He was no longer so afraid of the two counts joining forces.

"You asked for this."

After saying that, Count Weiss looked at his butler.

"I think all the letters have been delivered to those counties."

The somewhat stooped old man responded respectfully:

"Sir, Iron Mountain County, Cold Mountain County, and Zero Crossing Prefecture have all been delivered, but now none of the nobles have responded."

Count Weiss nodded and said:

"Don't worry about Iron Mountain County for now. Those guys have killed so many soldiers. The honor of the nobles prevents them from compromising with us. Moreover, Iron Mountain County is also the largest source of Iron Ore for the Winter Family."

"Cold Mountain County, send a group of slaves to Viscount Landa to help him cultivate land and build Cold Mountain City. As for Zero Crossing Prefecture..."

Thinking of this, Count Weiss couldn't help but feel angry.

Originally, that county would also be his support. In that case, he would be able to have the support of three counties. Excluding the abolished Cold Mountain County nobles, he Count Weiss would have half of the power of Northwind Province. In the end, who would have thought that a Baron of the Frozen Earth would come out halfway.

"Since Baron Ryan was able to defeat all the nobles of Zero Crossing Prefecture, he would not be as stupid as previously thought. The failure of the assassination was excusable. He must know who killed him."

"Young people are young and energetic, so there is no need to think about it. All you need to do next is communicate with Viscount Landa and ask him to support me."

The housekeeper couldn't help but be a little confused and asked.

"Sir, Cold Mountain County doesn't have many nobles and soldiers anymore, why do you need them so much."

"What do you know?"

Count Weiss looked at Old Steward indifferently.

"Cold Mountain County is a county of Northwind Province. Viscount Landa has always been the county guard there. Even though so many nobles have died, no other nobles have broken into Cold Mountain County for so long to rob wealth and slaves. This is because now, that is where Imperial Noble pays the most attention."

"The nobles of South sneered when they saw the nobles of Northlands suffering from the cold, but they sympathized with the nobles who suffered heavy losses to show their kindness. What Viscount Landa is saying now within the empire is more convincing than the three counts."

To put it simply, the surviving nobles who died like this Cold Mountain County were sold so miserably that the nobles sympathized even more.

Of course Count Weiss needs the support of Viscount Landa. He only has one Thunder Giant, and he doesn't have the courage to resurrect the country and betray the empire openly.

But he needs a lot of wealth and resources to strengthen himself.

"Everything will end in war and surrender under the thunder."

Count Weiss's eyes were firm. Now that the war had broken out, he would no longer hide it.

A few days later, Count Weiss led an army of 30,000 people, especially Extraordinary Legion composed of six thousand barbarians, which shocked the entire Northwind Province. The army appeared on the edge of Northwind Province, in a mesa with Northwind Province's largest canyon.

This is the junction of the two counties, and it is also the place where Northwind Province has the widest view.

The imminence of war once again made all the nobles nervous, but they were even more shocked.

"Count Weiss Where does Extraordinary Legion come from? Where does he get food from? Where does Life Potion come from?"

Finally, Countess Winter gave the answer.

There are two key factors in Pan-Planar War of Deities, one is God and the other is Pan-Plane.

"Count Weiss, has mastered some divinity."

"After Count Weiss obtained divinity, he spent a huge price and may even have hired Legendary Mage to solidify a portal."

"He has a Otherworld Plane as a support, and Thunder Giant is hidden in it."

Ryan in Frozen Earth Territory was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

"I thought this was my patent."

It is indeed a patent, because that Countess Winter also said that even if one obtains divinity, solidifying Planar Gate requires an unimaginable price, and the Otherworld space that is opened still belongs to the kind of dead world.

A conservative estimate would be that Gold Coin starts at one million.

Ryan doesn't need to be so troublesome.
