Brock's eyes are glowing.
However, before the "Snow Dragon's Roar" series broke out of Northlands, there was an earth-shaking and deafening sound from the north of Frozen Earth Territory, which sounded like the roar of Dragons.
"The blizzard lasted for several months, resulting in heavy snow accumulation. Now the snow has melted and avalanches of snow are falling from a large number of peaks."
Listening to the knight's report, Ryan stood on Rhino Horn Mountain and said to Brock beside him:
"Brock, this is the snow dragon of Northlands. You won't let this name bring shame, right?"
Brock fell into a special state, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"The weapons I forge will be different from those forged by anyone else."
He turned around and left. It seemed that these earth-shattering avalanches brought Brock a lot of opportunities.
"When an avalanche occurs, a large area of land will be exposed. Send hunters to the north to explore. In addition, it's time to build a few towers."
Ryan looks to the north. Although he can see far away from Rhino Horn Mountain, the vastness of Northlands cannot be seen by him standing here. If there is a tower, his field of vision can be extended to farther places.
And the most important thing is that the cordon of the territory can also be expanded, and Frozen Earth Territory can legitimately expand some.
Northlands The ice and snow are already melting, and the movement of avalanches not only represents the arrival of spring, but also sounds the bell of war.
The day after the avalanche, Count Winter's messenger, a team of knights, came to Frozen Earth Territory.
"Master Baron Ryan, the count asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
"At the same time, I would like to ask you when Zero Crossing Prefecture's army will be able to set off?"
Ryan nodded and then said:
"Zero Crossing Prefecture's army will be assembled in half a month, and then go to Dragon Mountain County to assist Count Soron."
After saying that, he asked the knight captain with Silver Knight strength.
"Is the war very pessimistic?"
The knight captain did not nod or deny, but said respectfully:
"The armies of Count Weiss and Viscount Hogg have already entered Dragon Mountain County and Northwind County. The armies of the two counties have gathered at Boundary Line. Count Soron is unwilling to send troops to enter Northwind Province, so they can only resist in the two counties."
Neither of the two earls was willing to send their own troops into the other's territory to assist in the defensive war. They were worried that the cavalry of Count Weiss and Viscount Hogg could change direction and attack the other earl's territory at any time.
This also resulted in a lot of pressure on both sides.
"I understand, just pass my decision to the two earls."
After the team left, Ryan immediately sent people to various noble territories of Zero Crossing Prefecture.
"I have given Zero Crossing Prefecture exclusive rights to the arms transaction with the Chamber of Commerce. Now, it is time for you to show your sincerity."
In just ten days, 3,000 soldiers gathered at Zero Crossing City. Counting the 500 Knight Retainer personal guards led by Ryan, there were a total of 3,500 soldiers.
Looking at these soldiers, Ryan was quite satisfied. These nobles were not useless.
Although he did not carry out war mobilization like Iron Mountain County, he still carefully cultivated and trained his soldiers throughout the winter even though he knew that the war was not over yet.
These three thousand soldiers are not composed of slaves like before, but regular soldiers. And with so many soldiers, the nobles may only have crooked melons and cracked dates under their hands.
"Baron Ryan, our soldiers have been handed over to you personally, and you must bring us victory."
Some nobles could not help but worry and warned that if these three thousand soldiers were buried far away, their lives would not be much better than Iron Mountain County.
Even the two newly promoted viscounts couldn't help but worry. Zero Crossing Prefecture had never had such an army composed purely of regular soldiers. In the past, everyone was an army composed of regular soldiers and slave soldiers. The slaves were allowed to rush to the front and be consumed before the soldiers advanced.
After more than a year of war, these are the only troops left under their command.
"No one can guarantee the outcome of a war, but I, Ryan, will ensure that all these soldiers will not be buried in foreign lands."
Ryan is riding on a war horse, and Grand Mage Macken is still training Winter's Chill, so the war horse he rides this time still belongs to the previous batch.
Looking at the various flags standing in the army, thanks to the profits from the iron forging, Zero Crossing Prefecture no nobles have withdrawn. They are also worried that if they do not participate in this war, the subsequent transactions with the Chamber of Commerce will be resisted by other nobles.
Everyone belongs to the aristocratic circle. If any aristocrat does not fit in, he will be isolated.
No matter where they are, the nobles must grit their teeth and arrange for soldiers to participate in this war.
Fortunately, Ryan did consider the issue of the number of young men under each noble, and only deployed the elites, not even the logistics.
"Count Soron will prepare all the supplies for us."
Although he has not received a reply yet, Ryan still said this. As the expeditionary Zero Crossing Prefecture army, this logistical pressure must be given to the two counts.
Carrying his own Knight Retainer and Ryan, the high-flying snow-white flag came to the forefront of the army. The Rhino Horn Mountain depicted on it became the direction of the army.
After three days of training outside Zero Crossing City, Ryan just dragged all the nobles to watch for three days. Once there was a problem with any of the nobles' soldiers, he would look over.
We are all nobles and need to be proud, and this kind of training and military parade is undoubtedly a competition of strength in their respective territories. Who is stronger and who is weaker is likely to affect their relationship in the next few years.
This also caused those soldiers to exert their full strength and brains to remember the orders of Ryan and the trumpet sounds on the battlefield.
Just remember it and know what to do.
Ryan's requirements are not that high.
Three days later, after eating a large amount of precious meat, bread and risotto, the army belonging to Zero Crossing Prefecture embarked on an expedition.
"Why do I feel like I'm destitute?"
Ryan said with a smile and burped. It was a rare opportunity for him to eat from the same pot as these soldiers, which made many people look at him with some changes.
Of course Ryan didn't care, but Baron Enzo next to him seemed to have learned something. He didn't even eat with Ryan on the road, but was with his soldiers.
"Everything that goes too far must be done with grace and authority."
However, considering that there were dozens of Knight Retainer around Baron Enzo, Ryan didn't say anything.
Dragon Mountain County, arrived.
