Crimsonwing Plains.

Legend has it that there used to be a group of pterosaurs here who regarded this place as their home. Whenever it was cold in winter, they would fly from the distant Northwind to the south to lay eggs in Crimsonwing Plains.

Of course, this is a legend before War of the Deities Across Planes.

Crimsonwing Plains is not red, but this year with the arrival of Thundercloud County's army and the fight with Northwind County's army, the land here is gradually dyed red with blood.

Viscount Hogg came here majestically and saw Count Weiss in the big tent.

"Lord Earl, are you looking for me? You know that the distance from Dragon Mountain County to here is not that short."

"Viscount Hogg, it shouldn't be a big deal to you to be delayed for a few days, right? Anyway, after we go back, with Viscount Hogg's ability, you can easily occupy Graystone Fortress."

Count Weiss's eyes were a little cold, but Viscount Hogg also had a bad voice.

He is also a noble, but Noble Title is a little lower, which does not mean that he is Count Weiss's retainer or slave.

"Lord Earl, at your request, I prevent Zero Crossing Prefecture's army from going around to the rear to attack you, lest Dragon Mountain County's army be completely annihilated."

"I accomplished my mission, but the count still seems dissatisfied?"

"If you think I have slacked off in the war, I will withdraw from this war with my soldiers. My territory has also entered spring plowing. Without these more than 3,000 people, the pressure this year will be great."

"The nobles of Silver Stream County were already a little dissatisfied with me. I am still curious, Lord Earl, how did you convince the nobles of Thundercloud County to support you in starting this war?"

Indeed, this is not only the answer that Viscount Hogg is curious about, Northwind Province other nobles are also curious.

For now, only the nobles within Thundercloud County have not voiced their opposition to the war. Almost all other counties are complaining and unwilling to start a war.

"Hmph!"

Viscount Hogg's eyes were cold, and he wanted to say something cruel, but he had no words.

After a moment, he could only look at Viscount Hogg and said:

"Viscount Hogg, you have been with Golden Knight for a long time, right? To become Sky Knight, you need a lot of resources. Have you ever thought that if we lose this war, you will get nothing?"

After saying that, without waiting for Viscount Hogg to react, Count Weiss waved his hand, and soldiers carried in a three-meter-long metal box. As the box opened, a burst of cold air spurted out, and then ten potions and three frozen objects were placed in front of the two people.

"The complete set of Knight Potion'Centaur's Sword' was once hailed as the most perfect Knight Potion of the Andara Kingdom. It was born in the hands of Legendary Mage'The Wilds'. There are only less than ten copies stored inside the entire Andara Royal House."

Ves picked up the frozen object. It was a crystal, but inside the crystal, it seemed as if a golden ocean was sealed.

"Alchemical Creation'Golden Coast' is the most valuable Qi and blood medium. Legend has it that it can simulate the waves of the sea, help Golden Knight temper Qi, blood and body, and give birth to sky fighting energy comparable to the tides."

After speaking, he picked up the second frozen object, which was a bottle forged from gemstones.

"This contains ten thousand kilograms of Giant's Blood."

The third frozen object Viscount Hogg can also be recognized. The Church's specialty, Morning Dew Holy Water, only has one drop, but it can bring people back from the state of near death.

Count Weiss looked at Viscount Hogg.

"Do you think these things can help you break through to Sky Knight?"

"You should know very well that under the sky, Sky-rank are two completely different worlds. If you want to lead a Extraordinary Legion, it is absolutely impossible without the power of Sky Knight."

"If you win the war, you will get these things. If you lose the war, you will get nothing."

The metal box was sealed and the soldiers moved it away, but Viscount Hogg seemed unable to take his eyes off it.

The value of these things is not only 500,000 but also 300,000.

Because each one is what Golden Knight dreams of.

"What do you want me to do? Without infantry, I cannot defeat Baron Ryan."

"The troops he brought are all Zero Crossing Prefecture's elite."

"Then bring all your soldiers to me. Let's deal with that old guy Soron Family first!"

There was hatred in Count Weiss's eyes. If Soron Family was willing to stand by his side, there would be no such trouble now. Everything would have ended last year.

Why are you so loyal to the Empire even though you are not a pure Imperial?

"Dragon Mountain County has assembled an army of more than 30,000 people, and there are also 3,000 Dragonblood Warriors. The combat effectiveness of those extraordinary soldiers cannot even be compared to the barbarians under your command, right?"

Viscount Hogg said that as far as he knew, including his own more than 2,000 infantry, the number of troops arranged by Count Weiss at Dragon Mountain County was only 20,000.

The reason why the advantage of the war is still there is purely because Count Weiss ordered his soldiers to rush forward desperately, fiercely suppressing the momentum of those troops.

He doesn't know what Count Weiss did to win the war.

"I have my own way."

The gap between Count Weiss and Viscount Hogg made him no longer completely trust the Viscount Silver Stream County.

And the other side.

Ryan also received a letter from Count Soron at about the same time.

It showed regret that the food was burned, and also explained to Ryan that nobles like Baron Solis did not have more food to supply the army.

Finally, Ryan was invited to lead the army to the main battlefield, where Count Weiss was expelled.

Ryan wanted to pretend he hadn't seen it, but after waiting for two days and getting no news from Viscount Hogg, he knew he had to react.

He no longer has the enemy Viscount Hogg in front of him. As one of the Northwind Province coalition forces, he can no longer stay in the territory of Solis. After all, he will still have to hang out in the circle in the future.

What's more, now Viscount Hogg has also gone to the front line. If he doesn't go there, there will be no profit.

"Tell Master Count Soron that we will arrive at the front line soon."

Ryan I don't know why both sides made such a decision. The war that might have lasted for several months unexpectedly unanimously wanted to resolve it through a decisive battle.

If he had to guess, he could only think of one answer, and that was food.

No matter which noble it is, after the blizzard passes, everyone will have no more food.

Count Weiss's subordinates should be equally unoptimistic. At present, it seems that the Otherworldly Plane he has is also having problems. In addition, the barbarians themselves are big food eaters and eat much more than the knights.

"Or... both sides think they have the means to solve each other in one go through a head-on confrontation?"
