Glimmer Territory, this is a Baron territory, but until now, no noble has been canonized in this territory, just like the previous Frozen Earth Territory, its owner has not yet appeared.
But what's different from Frozen Earth Territory is that even if there are no lords, there are still thousands of people living here, and they are not considered poor.
Because the terrain of Thundercloud County is not too steep, most of the land is flat, and there are a large number of streams and underground rivers here. At night, the bright moon in the sky shines down, forming sparkling waves on the streams, giving this place its name.
Yes, the river here is not frozen like Frozen Earth Territory.
Along the way, Ryan was filled with envy. In such a territory, if nothing else, even nobles could live a worry-free life even if they did nothing.
A black army appeared in Glimmer Territory. No civilian in Glimmer Town dared to come out. Through some of the mess, Ryan could also tell that it seemed that the soldiers from the former army had already entered the town once.
After all, he still couldn't control all the nobles and soldiers.
"Brandt, tell our soldiers that no one can enter the town without orders."
"Yes."
Brandt, wearing ferocious armor, rode a war horse and followed Ryan Mobile Fortress, listening to Ryan's constant knowledge of leading troops.
After coming to Frozen Earth Territory from the boy who was a hunter in the tribe, Brandt has matured a lot.
"In addition, I am sending an order to the entire army that no one can enter Glimmer Town. There are no enemies who betray the empire here."
The army stopped briefly to the south of Glimmer Territory. Count Winter directed Flying Wolf Cavalry from the sky to the south to check the situation of Thundercloud County.
An army of tens of thousands entered Thundercloud County. As long as the nobles here are not blind, deaf or stupid, it is absolutely impossible not to know.
The war will not break out gradually, nor will it break out within the territory of the nobles.
Ryan looked at the map. This was the new map he asked Count Winter to put together in just a few days.
He looked at the front of his army, the place named Thunder Sound Gorge.
There is the tomb he prepared for the Count Weiss army.
——
Thunder Sound Gorge, looking from top to bottom, it looks like a gap has been carved out of a wild grassland. It is narrow on both sides and wide in the middle. It is more than 20 miles long and about 300 to 450 meters wide in the middle.
However, this Thunder Sound Gorge is not too deep. If you stand on both sides and look down, you can see at a glance that the valley is overgrown with weeds and has not been taken care of at all.
If you want to cross Thunder Sound Gorge, there are three ways. One is to go around it, but this is too far. There is a big river in the place where you usually go around, so most people will not do this.
The second way is to go down directly and come up from the other side.
It's only a few hundred meters wide and a few dozen meters deep. It's like walking on a mountain road. This is also the way most people walk Thunder Sound Gorge. They only need to worry about the bugs and poisonous snakes inside.
The third type is not very conventional. There is something extraordinary in this world.
Since there are extraordinary people, if you encounter such a difficult road, let the extraordinary power make changes.
This has nothing to do with Ryan. The nobles have gathered Mages who know Earth Magic together. As long as he needs it, he can let these demons Mages build bridges on Thunder Sound Gorge at any time for tens of thousands of troops to pass.
But...
Ryan has no intention of going there. This is a battlefield he carefully selected.
"The reason why Glimmer Territory doesn't have a lord yet probably has something to do with this place."
It is too far away from other territories in Thundercloud County and is inconvenient. It is also not close to Dragon Mountain County or Northwind County. Crimsonwing Plains had nothing in the past and no one would go there.
Naturally, it is difficult for Glimmer Territory to connect with other territories. In addition, Glimmer Territory has not discovered the existence of land resources like Iron Ore.
Just one day passed, and Count Weiss's army appeared opposite Thunder Sound Gorge.
It's just... the quantity is a little small.
"Less than 10,000 people."
Riding on the flying wolf, Ryan could tell almost at a glance that the number of soldiers under Count Weiss's command would not exceed ten thousand.
Moreover, most of them were wearing animal skins and seemed not to be from the Empire at all.
From that world?
Ryan thought so.
Obviously, other nobles of Thundercloud County also knew that Holy Kingdom Knights appeared on the battlefield of Crimsonwing Plains, and they still sided with Count Weiss.
Count Weiss is crazy and desperate, colluding with the Church, but other nobles do not have this idea, and they absolutely dare not have this idea.
After the army returned to Thundercloud County, the nobles had a big quarrel and finally broke up. All the nobles turned their backs on Count Weiss. They did not want Winged Gorge's army to appear at their doorsteps.
"Love, surrender!"
Count Winter was riding a flying wolf and scolding Sky-rank, while on the other side, Count Weiss, with gloomy eyes, stared at the army here. There was absolutely no way he would surrender.
"Never!"
He roared in a low voice, and then looked at Damon next to him.
"I must win the war. The Church wants to preach in the empire. You only have the only chance in Northwind Province."
"What about the Feather Dragon Legion? Can we call it?"
As long as Feather Dragon Legion can arrive, Flying Wolf Cavalry or Dragonblood Warriors will not be a problem. He can defeat all the nobles of Northwind Province.
"Impossible."
Damon shook his head.
"Feather Dragon Legion will not appear in the empire, otherwise Extraordinary Legion of Winged Gorge will also go north. You haven't seen Winged Gorge's army yet because these nobles want to annex your territory."
Although Damon is not a noble, his thoughts about Count Winter and others are Ming and Qing.
Of course Ves also knows that if the previous wars determined the division of wealth, then when the Church's legion appeared on the battlefield, the thoughts of those nobles had changed from pure wealth to his territory.
It is precisely because of this that he has no retreat. He must win the war, and it is not just as simple as winning the war. He needs more support from the Church.
"If I become the king of Northwind, the armies of the Feather Dragon Legion and Andara Kingdom can be stationed here."
Count Weiss took a deep breath and said, no ruler would like to see other people's troops stationed in their own land, but he has no choice now.
Damon glanced at Count Weiss. He felt that this man was crazy to the extreme, but he did not say it out loud because it would be of great benefit to the Church's erosion of the empire.
No matter how unpopular Northwind Province is, he is still one of the provinces of the empire. If the belief of the Church can be spread, it will be a huge blow to the empire.
"I'll try."
