"Oh, what a sad news."
On the Wilds land, Ryan said with emotion on the war horse.
Baron Malik and Ryan were not very familiar with each other before, but in recent days, due to Flying Wolf Cavalry's frequent messages, he also had a simple understanding of Baron.
Comparable to two Haton.
In terms of enjoyment, this Baron Malik is even better, and in terms of exploiting slaves and civilians, this Baron is also better.
In his territory, the ratio of civilians to slaves reached an astonishing one to nine.
Captain Luke looked silent next to him. He could see now that this Baron of the Frozen Earth had no intention of saving Baron Malik's territory.
Ryan set his sights on the mount under the captain. The wolf was a powerful beast. Even after becoming Magical Beast, he was still one of the best, but there were never many wolves that could be used as mounts.
"Luke, how were you Unicorn Flying Wolf, Count Winter trained?"
"I heard that Count Weiss has a dimensional world. Doesn't Count Winter also have such a world?"
Ryan's words made Luke tense up in an instant, but this action had already given Ryan an answer.
Sure enough, Flying Wolf Cavalry's huge consumption is difficult to sustain in a food-deficient province like Northwind Province. Either Count Winter is very rich, or he has his own unique source of food.
It's just... The dead world fell into the cold winter of Eternal Silence. How did Count Winter produce food in such a world?
Ryan thought of the countess.
There are many extraordinary methods in this world, but they may not be... impossible.
On the third day, Ryan's army entered Iron Mountain County. After crossing the large river that meandered between the mountain peaks, the temperature in the air became a little dry. It is said that this was due to the large number of mineral veins existing underground in Iron Mountain County.
What surprised Ryan was that the only viscount of Iron Mountain County, Viscount Walter, personally brought more than two hundred soldiers and seven or eight nobles to greet them here.
It seems that they really don't have an elite army anymore.
"Baron Ryan from Frozen Earth Territory, Iron Mountain County welcome you."
Looking at Ryan's young face, Walter still felt a little incredible that the two viscount families of Zero Crossing Prefecture had all been defeated by this young man.
"Viscount Walter, may Deities protect your health."
Ryan smiled, and then walked side by side with Viscount Walter at the front of the army.
"Ryan, Baron Malik's territory has been occupied by Viscount Hogg's army. Unfortunately, that is where we were originally prepared to deal with Viscount Hogg and Count Weiss's army. Baron Malik's castle is the strongest line of defense."
Viscount Walter said regretfully, but actually he was dissatisfied with Ryan's slowness.
"That's such a pity. I hope Viscount Hogg's army will not continue to penetrate deeper."
Ryan seemed not to hear what the other party meant, and continued to ask:
"Lord Viscount, I wonder if Count Weiss's army appears at Iron Mountain County."
Viscount Walter looked a little angry and clenched his fists.
"The count's army is right behind the Viscount Hogg army. We tried to cut off the supply of the Viscount Hogg army and occupy the canyon, but we were ambushed by the count's army."
Ryan looked at the viscount and thought to himself, maybe this is the reason why Iron Mountain County's last elite army also disappeared.
They made a desperate move, but they didn't expect to fail again.
"It seems that this Viscount Hogg is more powerful than we imagined."
After hearing what Ryan said, Viscount Walter had to admit that they had failed too many times in front of Viscount Hogg.
"Now Viscount Hogg's army has approached Baron Freeman's territory. Our troops are there. I hope Ryan you can defeat Viscount Hogg and take back our territory."
"Of course."
Another day passed, and Ryan appeared in Baron Freeman's territory with an army of tens of thousands of people. Looking at the winding hills ahead, Ryan also understood why Iron Mountain County, who did not have many troops, was so difficult to fight.
What is the most powerful thing about Viscount Hogg? It was his knight cavalry army with up to a thousand people, but here, the cavalry could hardly play a role, and the cavalry could only dismount and fight.
The territory of Baron Freeman is located on the highest hill like this, with gentle slopes in all directions, and in some valleys, there are cultivated fields.
Iron Mountain County is more dependent on food purchased from the outside world than Zero Crossing Prefecture, but many times they obtain it through transactions. After all, there is a large amount of Iron Ore here.
In Baron Freeman's castle, Ryan not only saw Baron, but also saw a middle-aged man who was full of malice towards him.
Baron Malik, he guessed in his mind, after all, he was the only one who had reason to glare at him.
"Ryan, why is your army coming so slowly?!"
"My territory and my slaves were all taken away by the damn Viscount Hogg. It's all your fault!"
Baron Malik scolded Ryan. He was extremely angry. His wealth and territory had been occupied. For a noble, this was an insult to honor.
Ryan ignored the other party and asked Baron Freeman:
"Viscount Hogg's army is coming from the south. I need your map here."
Baron Freeman hadn't spoken yet, but Baron Malik was finally furious.
"Ryan!"
Looking at the devouring Baron Malik, Ryan turned his head.
"Mr. Malik, do you have any questions?"
"My territory..."
"Okay, no need to say it. You also said it, that is your territory, not mine."
Ryan looked at the other party and said calmly:
"So, why should I let my soldiers die for your territory?"
Baron Malik's words were stuck in his throat, and he looked at Ryan with a blushing face. Anger had already filled his chest. Fortunately, at this time, Baron Freeman grabbed this guy who was like a barrel of explosives.
Indeed, just like what Ryan said, Baron Freeman reacted. Now it is his territory that is under threat, and his relationship with Baron Malik is not that good.
He also needs Ryan's army to help him defend his territory.
"Malik, go and calm down first. Ryan, I will send the map to you."
Half an hour later, Ryan saw the appearance of Baron Freeman's territory. On the map, Baron Freeman's territory was composed of hills. There was a distance of several hundred meters between almost every two hills. There were also roads mixed in, but there were only three or five.
The road leading to the farmland and a main road represent the connection between the Baron territory and other distant territories. In Iron Mountain County, road construction almost always relies on accumulated trampling. Even so, there are still many wild beasts around the road.
Under Winter's Chill, Iron Mountain County is warmer than other places, which makes wild beasts willing to come and live here.
After looking at the map for a long time, Ryan understood one thing. Baron Freeman's territory might be invaded, but Baron Freeman's wealth would probably not cause any serious problems.
Viscount Hogg As long as he is not stupid, he will never stare at the hillsides that are surrounded by lows and highs in all directions. If he wants to occupy the castle here, the price he will pay will be unimaginable.
Suddenly, Ryan came to his senses and asked Baron Freeman.
"Iron Mountain County The remaining troops are all here?"
Baron Freeman was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"The slave army formed by the nobles has more than two thousand people in the valley of South."
"This is the only army Iron Mountain County can form now."
Just as Ryan was about to say something, the shadow of Flying Wolf Cavalry in the sky outside became bigger and bigger. Captain Luke, full of fear and eagerness, shouted out at the same time as he arrived at Baron Freeman's castle.
"Baron Ryan is not good, Viscount Hogg appears in Viscount Walter's territory with his army."
