What Ryan wants is very simple, that is, in the future, the products of Frozen Earth Territory and Zero Crossing Prefecture will be qualified to compete fairly in Silver Stream County.
Regarding this condition, the nobles of Silver Stream County felt a little inexplicable. They couldn't understand the meaning. Can Ryan gain any benefits from it?
But when they think of the Gold Coin in comparison, the nobles can't find any reason to refuse.
This war reparation cannot be negotiated. Except for the part of Ryan that appears in front of them, the remaining 90% is still a huge pressure for them, and it may be difficult to ease it in the next ten or even twenty years.
But they must give, otherwise it will be a new round of war.
Count Weiss is no match for the nobles, let alone these nobles like Silver Stream County now?
After thinking for a long time, Viscount Hogg couldn't figure out what the purpose of Ryan's condition was, and finally he agreed.
I can't find a reason to refuse, even if I feel it's wrong, I still have no choice.
Otherwise, the golden Gold Coin will be given to Ryan.
They would rather hold Gold Coin in their hands than something they cannot see.
Ryan It is not surprising that free trade is a double-edged sword. Of course, in the current situation, there is no double-edged situation.
Perhaps, the future Silver Stream County will only have one beginning to describe today.
"At first, no one cared about this deal..."
After the contract was settled, Ryan sent people to transfer its rubbings to several other nobles. At this point, it was completely declared that Northwind Province's war was over.
He was finally able to return to Frozen Earth Territory and his own territory.
"Everyone's joys and sorrows are not the same."
Riding on the war horse on the way back, Ryan couldn't help but smile when he thought of Silver Stream County's nobles who none of them wanted to keep him.
I think for a long time in the future, these nobles will not hold any banquets.
On the contrary, some nobles may squander a lot of money in the next few years.
For Ryan, this is an opportunity.
When he can no longer regard war as a source of wealth, he will inevitably focus on the economy.
Products from Otherworld should be very popular among the Northwind Province nobles, right?
From Silver Stream County to Thundercloud County, finally, Ryan returned to Zero Crossing Prefecture. He brought many contracts and countless wealth. The light of Gold Coin shone in the eyes of the Zero Crossing Prefecture nobles, so that the voices that originally planned to question the heavy losses of the army disappeared.
"Baron Ryan Have a good trip."
Zero Crossing City Next, Ryan turned around and saw smiling faces.
Turn around and lead hundreds of your own soldiers towards the direction of Northlands.
"This road still needs to be built."
The road originally built by Orcs slaves no longer looks the same after only one year has passed.
"You said that when there are more people walking, a road will appear."
Brandt next to him said something rare, which made Ryan couldn't help laughing.
"Indeed, many people will walk on this road in the future."
Frozen Earth Territory.
Spring plowing has begun outside, but Frozen Earth Territory is still covered in white snow. The castle on Rhino Horn Mountain is flashing lights as if to welcome the return of Ryan. There are figures on the distant peaks, and the snow is being cleared, turning into cold water droplets flowing at the foot of the mountain, eventually washing the surface of the frozen river smooth and clean.
The joys and sorrows of the nobles are not the same. When the nobles Silver Stream County and Thundercloud County tried their best to collect money, Ryan had already squandered the wealth they earned in the castle.
As an adult, life at night is always rich, and today Lord Ryan once again has fun with the people.
Celebrate the success of the war, celebrate Ryan's return to his loyal land, and celebrate the appearance of fine wine in the icy permafrost.
After three consecutive days, Ryan finally got up from the Viscountess's body.
Walking out of the door, he looked at the butler Bilder who was standing respectfully.
"The Dragon Heart sent by my father is really powerful."
With such a sigh, Ryan came to the top of Rhino Horn Mountain. Standing here, he could see that with the help of charcoal Ash, those terraces were out of tune with the surrounding white snow.
"Although we managed to get a lot of food, the farmland in the territory still needs to be developed. We must be self-sufficient."
"Follow your wishes."
Bilder replied respectfully from behind.
"Has the division of militia arrow towers and hunters been decided?"
"It has been confirmed. Miss Eteria has designated three hunting grounds in the northern foothills. Spring, autumn, summer and winter will be rotated to ensure that prey resources will not be exhausted. Miss Eteria also plans to introduce horned deer to live in the territory to ensure their reproduction."
"Master Brock led the militiamen to the northern peaks and personally selected two peaks. He will lead the craftsmen to build two watchtowers on the peaks, each of which can station thirty to fifty soldiers."
Bilder pointed to two high places within the field of vision. According to Brock, as long as watchtowers are built at those two places, any movement entering Frozen Earth Territory from the east, west, north, and west will be captured.
The plan for the watchtower was already decided by Ryan.
The landform of Frozen Earth Territory is high and low, after all, it is the barrier that blocks the wind and snow of Winter's Chill from the empire South.
The complex terrain means that the naked eye cannot see everything at a glance, so the existence of watchtowers is very necessary. They will be the eyes of Frozen Earth Territory, and they can also train scouts.
The soldiers will prevent all Magical Beasts that break into Frozen Earth Territory, and then arrange soldiers to hunt and kill them in the ruling territory.
To a certain extent, this is to ensure the stability of Frozen Earth Territory, as well as to protect and supervise the farmers who farm in the terraced fields.
They are also the tentacles of Ryan. When there is nothing important in the south, these tentacles can help Ryan reach into the depths of Northlands.
His territory will also become huge because of the watchtowers.
"According to Master Brock, as long as the watchtower is successfully constructed, the second-level peak Magical Beast can defend, and the third-level Magical Beast can also deter."
"According to the sketch you gave, Master Brock is trying to forge a giant crossbow. If successful, it will ensure that the watchtower will have the power to fight Magical Beast on its own."
Ryan finally couldn't bear it after hearing this, with a weird expression.
"Can he really succeed?"
He himself knew how rough the sketch of the bed crossbow he drew later was.
"I heard that I found a way after going to South."
Bilder said truthfully, which finally made Ryan feel relieved. He knew that he was not qualified to take this credit.
"But why does he have so much time?"
Of course, Ryan would not forget that he and the Chamber of Commerce still had unfinished transactions. During the war, the entire Zero Crossing Prefecture nobles were also very busy, busy forging Iron Ore into weapons. The most important of these was of course the "Snow Dragon's Roar" series Knight's Greatsword forged by Brock himself.
In fact, it was precisely for this reason that the nobles of Zero Crossing Prefecture did not hold back Ryan who was far away on the battlefield during the war and handed all their rights to him.
