"This is blasphemy against Deities! This is a war without hesitation!"
"The empire dared to blatantly violate the agreement of Dawn's glorious witness and take the initiative to start a war. They actually dared to kill our Lord's loyal servant, a noble Cardinal Archbishop!"
"They are in Blasphemy of Deities! They are declaring war on Dawn in the entire world!"
"The Church respects the changes in the world and recognizes Lordship who is below the fifth-class nobles and above the knights. However, Deities's will is warning that the so-called Light Pioneer in the empire is an absolute heretic! Heretic!!!"
"This is a war recognized by Deities. This is a war between Faith of Dawn and the heretics, and our great Lord of Dawn will surely win, and the Church will surely regain the glory that belongs to the Deities apostles!"
"Holy Son has been born. This is the will of Deities. He has given support to our war!"
"In Kingdom of Dawn, the Archangel has awakened. He will come, bring the light of Lord of Dawn, and punish the heretics within the empire! Columbus III has been deceived by the heretics!"
It's amazing, the Church in any country, the Lordship of the nobles, but they don't seem to know that the Lordship of the empire is the so-called Light Pioneer.
Maybe they knew it, but the believers didn't know that in the roar of Pope, they really believed that the heresy against Deities was really born in the imperial land to the north that was not illuminated by the glory of Dawn.
"We need to take back the faith in that land!"
"The ancient Crusaders flag will no longer be covered in dust. They will atone for their crimes!"
On top of Holy Mountain, the Church openly started a war with the empire. The whole world was shocked. They didn't understand why the Church would be so extreme.
"They have to be."
Ryan walking in Silver Stream County said so, his eyes were profound.
"Church of Dawn, the Lord of Dawn they serve, the Deities, has not been revealed as Miracle for more than a hundred years."
"The majesty of the Church has suffered an unimaginable blow in these more than a hundred years. Deities has never appeared, and the meaning of the Church is not so absolute. The war between the empire and the Church is a representative example. Without the huge nourishment of the empire, the Church has been declining over the years."
"Even in addition to the empire, those kingdoms and duchies have voiced their opposition to the Church and want to expel the Church from their own territories. Those clergy take no one knows how much Gold Coin they take in the name of Deities every year."
"They must use war and victory to make the people of this world believe in the greatness of Dawn again."
"Holy Son? Archangel?"
Ryan smiled.
But this matter probably has little to do with him. When he returns to Northlands, what he needs to face most is Northlands's Winter's Chill. Last year's snowstorm has not completely disappeared until now. Northlands must have frozen to death and starved to death.
"There seems to be a war going on here?"
As Silver Stream County went deeper, Shawkat looked around solemnly. The eyes of the slaves seemed to be shining as they stared at their team transporting food.
"War?"
"Indeed, it's a new year, and the unfinished war will continue this year."
Ryan's eyes contained coldness, this was also his war.
Not surprisingly, Viscount Hogg once again appeared in front of Ryan. This was Silver Stream County. Not only did Viscount Hogg control all the land here, at least half of it was in demand, and the main roads would inevitably pass through the viscount's territory.
"Ryan, you are finally back."
Viscount Hogg looked at Ryan with solemn eyes. In this winter, he had completely regarded Ryan as his lifelong enemy.
"Viscount Hogg, your choice may not be the right one."
Ryan looked at the viscount calmly, and the right or wrong thing in his mouth was of course not that Viscount Hogg took refuge in Count Weiss. After all, Viscount Hogg also wanted his family to have an extraordinary army.
What he said was right or wrong was the outcome of the war.
"The results will prove us right or wrong."
Viscount Hogg left after saying a word, leading hundreds of majestic cavalry troops away.
Next to him, Shawkat looked at Ryan in surprise, and even several Mages in the carriage couldn't help but look sideways.
Ryan In Imperial Capital, even the nobles I met along the way were very humble, more like Baron, but after arriving at Northern Lands, this person seemed to be a different person.
And just now, did you provoke a viscount?
"Viscount Hogg, the bloodline of this viscount family a hundred years ago should be traced back to the William Imperial Family, which was the bloodline of a huge empire before War of the Deities Across Planes. Hogg Family is a descendant of the ancient William Family."
"However, in the empire, the Viscount Hogg family is not close to other nobles, or even to the Count William's Family. After all, they are too far apart. Apart from being connected in the genealogy, there is only interest."
"But since we are at Northwind Province, I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with interests."
Shawkat said casually, but did not care about the relationship between Viscount Hogg and Noble Circle.
Among the nobles, as long as everyone takes out the family tree and reads it up, they can more or less be said to be their respective relatives.
If everyone has it, that means everyone doesn't have it.
Looking at Silver Stream County's movements, Ryan's original idea of walking directly back to Zero Crossing Prefecture changed to taking a detour from Iron Mountain County.
Shawkat thought a bit wrong. Ryan was not just facing off against a noble viscount, but a huge Noble Circle son.
Walking on the only road, climbing over mountains and ridges still made Shawkat, Grand Mage Macken and others feel a little uncomfortable, and their speed inevitably slowed down. They arrived at Viscount Walter's territory a few days later.
The vast plains have been planted with wheat seeds again. Winter has not passed yet, and the sky is still snowing, but this is the environment of Northlands. Even if there is only a slight chance, food must be planted.
"Baron Ryan, you are finally back."
The moment he saw Ryan, Viscount Walter's heart calmed down.
"You don't know, Silver Stream County started war mobilization before Divine Grace Festival last year. Viscount Hogg did this, and we Iron Mountain County had to do the same. But in this case, our food reserves will be almost exhausted."
"But you also know that there will be much fewer chambers of commerce coming to Northwind Province this year, and we may not be able to buy so much food."
Viscount Walter looked ugly. He never thought that the war would fail early because of food.
"What did Count Winter say?"
Ryan asked, for this question, what Iron Mountain County should be looking for most is Count Winter.
"The Earl said that there is no way to transport the grain across Thundercloud County. He can only find a way to transport the grain through Dragon Mountain County, then enter Zero Crossing Prefecture, and then enter Iron Mountain County, but in this case, the consumption on the road will be astronomical, and there is no guarantee that it will not be destroyed on the way. You don't know, Viscount Hogg's cavalry army has already begun to take action in Thundercloud County."
"Their speed is much faster than Dragonblood Warriors under Count Soron."
