After waiting for five days in Baron territory, the civilians here were naturally miserable. They had to serve these nobles while working.

In particular, the number of nobles was increasing. Looking at the nobles who came with soldiers, the civilians lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads.

The smile on Ryan's face also disappeared, and he looked at Lord Horla and that Knight Badley.

"It seems that the two earls have made their choice."

Without the support of the two earls, these little nobles directly faced a Marquis, and the pressure was not ordinary.

"Then please ask the two of you to say hello to the Earl for me after you go back."

This represents the parting of ways between Ryan and the two earls, and perhaps the nobles who are on his side at the moment.

When the two Sky Knight saw this, they couldn't stay any longer.

All the nobles from the farthest reaches here within five days. The speed of the two earls cannot be so slow.

It hasn't appeared yet, which means that the earl has given up the land here.

As the Earl's subordinates, they naturally can no longer gain benefits by following Ryan.

Seeing that the earl had made his choice, some of the nobles who came later also became hesitant, and several nobles even turned and left. It was too unwise for them to go against a Marquis in Thundercloud County's land.

"Looks like it's just us."

Ryan looked at the nobles around him and laughed again.

Fortunately, there are no two earls who can continue to enhance his reputation in the eyes of these nobles, which will be beneficial to Frozen Earth Territory's future economic development.

Taking these nobles back to Thundercloud Mountain, Ryan is waiting for the appearance of Marquis.

"You'd better be careful, this Koresna. I heard from my wife that he has a bad temper. When he was South, he often killed slaves for fun."

"I heard that in the manor, the maids were often made to take off their clothes and fight with Knight's Greatsword. Those who survived would be blessed by him."

"He used to compete for Marquis Noble Title with more provinces, but failed, which caused his temper to become moody."

"How can such a person get Divine Grace?"

Ryan asked, tilting his head, but Viscount Hogg did not continue.

Ryan also feels that the Divine Grace on Marquis should not be given by Deities, at least, not on his own initiative.

When Marquis of Northwind saw Ryan again, he no longer looked at his juniors like before. There was strong indifference and anger in the corners of his eyes.

"Marquis-sama."

"Ryan, I underestimated you. Northwind Province is the youngest military genius and a commander who can command tens of thousands of adults."

In these few days, Marquis has figured out the true and false of Ryan. It seems that Northwind Province has no friends at all.

"Tell me, what do you want to do here?"

"We just want to get the land that belongs to us."

"As a reward, we are willing to share the portal of Otherworldly Plane with you."

Ryan said neither humble nor arrogantly. He knew that among the team that followed Marquis this time, there was a Mages who was at least Saint Realm. He was probably only one step away from Legendary and was even more powerful than the countess.

In addition, there are hundreds of powerful extraordinarys and a Pioneers army numbering up to 1,500.

Also, the opponent can influence Winged Gorge's army, so it seems that there are only so many people. In fact, as long as Marquis is willing, Winged Gorge's army can appear in Northern Lands.

"No way, that's my territory."

"That's the land we harvested during the war. It belongs to the former Count Weiss."

"The empire has laws..."

"The laws of the empire cannot plunder the territory that already belongs to the nobles. Those lands bear the flag of each of our nobles."

At this moment, Ryan has completely stood on the opposite side of Marquis.

He must do this. If he wants to gather the nobles around him, he must have a reason.

This is not like a war. Once the war is over, the cohesion is not enough. This involves disputes over land. As long as the land exists, they are natural allies.

When facing Marquis, they are allies, and this relationship can naturally extend to all aspects.

In fact, this is Ryan robbing the two counts of their right to speak in Northwind Province.

"Otherworld Plane is very huge. The wealth there far exceeds the benefits of these small lands. It is impossible for Mr. Marquis to want everything."

"We have no control over the land of the two earls and other nobles, but what belongs to us must be planted with our flag."

"The big nobles don't care about the land. We are just small nobles who need the wealth produced by the land."

Marquis stared at Ryan, thinking of his previous failures. The biggest reason for his failure was that Imperial House believed that he did not have the magnanimity and sense of a noble.

Decades of precipitation had calmed him down.

"Just this once, your land will be returned to you in the name of the trade, but that Divine Key must be kept."

"Of course, if it's not on Thundercloud Mountain, this key means nothing to us."

"But I think the biggest use of this key is to prevent the armies of the two great nobles from entering on a large scale, right?"

"Count Weiss spent five years developing Otherworld, and only caught 20,000 to 30,000 Natives. But with the help of Flying Wolf Cavalry, we can catch up with the progress of Count Weiss in a few months."

The development of Other Plane belongs to all the nobles of Northwind Province. Marquis cannot refute this point. This is the spoils of victory in the war.

Even if Imperial House has other people coming, Marquis of Northwind must stand on the side of the Northwind Province nobles.

But it is conceivable that when entering and leaving Other Plane in the future, you will definitely be wearing small shoes.

But Ryan doesn't care.

With the arrival of Marquis, the two earls also acquiesced in giving the land here to Marquis of Northwind. Naturally, the previous matter about Ryan being the commander-in-chief responsible for developing Otherworldly Plane was also shattered.

The fragile alliance disappeared, leaving the nobles to hunt for Otherworldly Plane's wealth on their own.

In other words, it is enclosure.

This time, the two earls were no longer silent. They came to Thundercloud Mountain and enclosed the land with all the nobles.

"Nobles can only hunt in their own area. If the prey strays into the enclosures of other nobles, they need to negotiate."

"These places belong to Frozen Earth Territory."

Ryan walked to the rough map appropriately after the three nobles. In his opinion, this kind of vague enclosure was meaningless at all.

Moreover, the areas on the map are not all of Other Plane. There are many places that they don't know about.

The most important thing is that the territory is enclosed. Can the men sent by the nobles really defeat those ferocious beasts?

Ryan feels suspended.

One by one, the nobles stepped forward to choose the places they valued. Marquis of Northwind also took this opportunity to see clearly the situation of Northwind Province. He did not expect that Ryan's status here was second only to the two counts.

This made him very unhappy.

"This place belongs to the Natives tribe. We have a contract with them and cannot choose."

Ryan prevented Viscount Hogg from having a wide range of choices. The viscount looked at Ryan and finally narrowed the range.

After all the nobles finished, Marquis of Northwind finally showed some sincerity of his own.
