Politics among nobles are always like this. War breaks out easily and interests are easily compromised.
So after knowing that Baron Ryan and Count Soron were going to mine Magic Crystal Mine together, none of the nobles in Northwind Province were surprised by this incident.
This is too normal. After all, in past history, as well as themselves, this was often the case.
The two sides fought over a land conflict, and after the fight, their interests were compromised. That night, the two nobles might teach the blind maid at the banquet a lesson, fully demonstrating their humility and etiquette.
What only shocked them was that one of the two parties was an earl and the other was Baron. This kind of thing did not exist in history.
And because of this compromise, Lord Ryan finally had a reason to send a large number of miner serfs into Otherworld Plane.
A total of two thousand people were sent into Otherworld Plane, but in the end only one thousand people went to the location of Magic Crystal Mine.
No one knows that the remaining one thousand people are mining the gold deep underground in the territory circled by Baron Ryan.
Count Soron didn't pay attention to such small things. He was now thinking about Count Winter's Gold Mine.
"Gold Mine!!!"
Count Soron gritted his teeth, he was very jealous.
My own Extraordinary Legion and Dragonblood Warrior Legion have been going downhill ever since Orcs went south.
This is visible to the naked eye, and everyone can see that the loss of the Extraordinary Legion that cannot be replenished is the weakness of the Soron Family. Even Count Soron cannot change everyone's perception of this.
This is also true.
People are discussing outside that Count Soron is already old, and the Earl family will decline in his hands.
Either of these two points is unacceptable to him. He does not accept his own aging, nor does he accept that Soron Family declines because of him.
A large amount of wealth must be obtained to bring Dragonblood Warrior Legion back to the top.
"We must occupy that Gold Mine as soon as possible!"
Count Soron found Ryan, in the Marquis mansion of Thundercloud County, he said through gritted teeth.
Ryan did not refuse immediately, nor was he surprised by the count's arrival.
"I think so too, but Sir Earl, can you and I together deal with Flying Wolf Cavalry?"
Whether in Northwind Province or Otherworld Plane, the advantages of Flying Wolf Cavalry are too great. The advantage brought by the maneuverability of flight makes it impossible for the army to even make a sneak attack.
"You should be able to do something."
Count Soron stared at Ryan with his old eyes.
"You are Northwind Province's most talented military strategist. You have won many incredible wars. You must have a way."
Ryan looked at Count Soron and blinked. I am indeed very young compared to you, but are you lying to a child by saying this?
"Lord Earl, you are joking. How can I possibly deal with Flying Wolf Cavalry?"
Looking at Ryan's expression, Count Soron also became cold. He could see that Ryan was indeed not lying.
If you co-author it, you will lose a lot of money?
Count Soron doesn't think that he can win over Gold Mine by joining forces with other nobles. Count Winter has always been Northwind Province's strongest. You know, Count Winter has been the governor of Northwind Province for thirty years.
All rights and the right to speak in the empire are not comparable to local capitulation factions like Count Soron and Count Weiss.
A few hours later, Ryan led his soldiers into the Other Plane portal.
Looking at Mountain Forest World in front of him again, he couldn't help but think, is there any way to fight against Flying Wolf Cavalry?
According to his idea, dealing with Flying Wolf Cavalry in Mountain Forest World is the best choice, because the bamboo shoot-like peaks here can make it possible for soldiers who cannot fly to touch Flying Wolf Cavalry.
And in his opinion, Flying Wolf Cavalry can indeed fly, but they will never be able to float in the sky for a long time like Griffin. The exhaustion of their physical strength is destined to take time to land.
Landing is the only way to win.
The problem is here, how to seize that only opportunity.
"It's a bit troublesome."
Ryan was a little helpless. He stood on the Mountain Forest road and looked at several Natives not far away. They were throwing spears in the gaps in the woods. The spears penetrated the sky in the blink of an eye and pierced the abdomen of an antlered deer that was drinking water.
The blood flow continued, the beast howled, and the other antlered deer around them dispersed in a swarm, leaving only one or two anxious antlered deer circling around the injured one.
It is precisely because of this that Natives harvested three-antlered deer.
"Don't damage the skin. You can change the tool."
The leader of Natives said. When he turned his head, he noticed hundreds of knights reining in their horses silently and staring at this side.
"Baron-sama?"
Natives knows Ryan, he is a soldier of the Azure Lion Tribe.
"I'll collect my things."
Ryan walked towards the Azure Lion Tribe, sent Amber Jade and Gold Mine to Wilderness World and arranged for people to extract the gold and then returned to the Azure Lion Tribe.
"Are there any flying prey among your hunting targets?"
Ryan asks Azure Lion Tribe about the leader slot.
The latter thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Gray Hawk Tribe people like to weave feathers into clothes, and their leader wears the brightest clothes."
Gray Hawk Tribe?
Ryan found the name of this tribe from his memory. They can be said to be the tribe farthest from the army camp that Ryan found.
In the tribe that lives on the cliff, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled people in the tribe. All men who cannot hunt and women who cannot bear children will be thrown off the cliff. Over time, the bottom of the cliff becomes the canteen of a group of gray vultures.
This also led to the Gray Hawk Tribe being very wealthy, whether in terms of food or combat power, it can be said that all the people are soldiers.
At the same time, Gray Hawk Tribe is another scattered tribe. Their tribe has about two thousand people, but they are distributed on five cliffs.
The relationship between Ryan and this tribe is not good, because he led his army to burn dry grass and dead wood under the cliff, and the thick smoke made Gray Hawk Tribe succumb.
People from that tribe...
In Ryan's view, even without divine blessing, the powerful warriors in the Gray Hawk Tribe can rival Barbarian Legion who was under Count Weiss's control.
After thinking about it, Ryan's palm unconsciously fell on the hilt of the sword.
"Lead the way."
Halfway through, Ryan suddenly had another idea.
"Go to Count Winter's territory."
Count Winter is secretly digging for Huang Gold Mine's veins. What is enviable is that this matter has not been exposed for so long, because Countess Winter is a powerful Space Magic envoy.
Her Space Magic can help Count Winter's people secretly transport Gold Mine without being discovered.
Ryan is not envious of this, after all, he has a better way.
This lack of care made him look relaxed when facing the soldiers here.
But compared to the casualness of Ryan, the people of Count Winter were very nervous about the arrival of Baron Ryan.
"Baron Ryan, why are you here?"
"Lord Horla?"
Ryan is a little surprised, it was not this person who guarded this place before.
His expression was slightly solemn.
"Lord Horla, I also heard about what happened back then. Please forgive me."
"Thank you Baron Ryan."
In fact, these nobles, including members of the nobles, did not care much about children other than the eldest son. Even if the second son was assassinated by the Church's assassin, Lord Horla was not immersed in pain all day long.
As long as he doesn't meet the Church, he may not remember that a child has died.
The reason why Ryan can feel this feeling is because he is not even the second son. The nobles usually use this method to tell all their heirs that the only successor to Noble Title is the eldest son.
Sometimes Ryan also wonders if the child's mortality rate is caused by medical conditions.
But later I realized that unless stillborn, the heirs of nobles would hardly die in infancy.
This is a world with Deities and extraordinary beings.
Only poor people die.
"What are you doing here?"
Lord Horla is very wary of Ryan, because not long ago, part of Magic Crystal Mine of Count Soron already belonged to Baron Ryan.
It would be ridiculous if even part of Gold Mine of Count Winter belonged to Baron Ryan.
"I'm here to borrow troops."
Ryan said sincerely:
"I want to deal with the Gray Hawk Tribe. Lord Horla, you know that those Natives have always been disobedient."
"I want to hunt a flying Magical Beast and need the help of the Gray Hawk Tribe. But to deal with the Gray Hawk Tribe, I want to borrow your Flying Wolf Cavalry."
Lord Horla hesitated and wanted to refuse the matter.
"This incident will not lead to too many wars. If one Flying Wolf Cavalry dies, I will compensate Count Winter with a thousand Gold Coin."
"If a hundred people die, I will compensate three thousand Gold Coin for every Flying Wolf Cavalry."
Extraordinary Legion is the biggest trump card in the hands of the nobles. Flying Wolf Cavalry can even be used against Dragons regardless of the cost. Each one is very precious. In Ryan's guess, a thousand Gold Coin should be slightly higher than the cost of Flying Wolf Cavalry.
This price may not necessarily make Lord Horla agree, but what Ryan needs is to use this kind of language to tell Lord Horla that there will be no serious war during this trip.
"After the work is completed, I will give Lord Horla five hundred Gold Coin as reward."
An ordinary Baron, before Baronet System was born, had an annual income of only two to three thousand Gold Coin. This was still relatively wealthy, given that there were resources in the territory.
So five hundred Gold Coin is a huge fortune.
Don't forget that Horace is now not only a Extraordinary Legion Commander under the earl, he is also a Lordship.
He already has his own industry.
To have an industry, you need... money.
"Natives is no match for Flying Wolf Cavalry."
Thinking of this, Lord Horla looked at Ryan and nodded in agreement.
"Seven hundred Gold Coin, not even one Flying Wolf Cavalry can die."
"I'll try my best, but I can only guarantee that the second Flying Wolf Cavalry won't die."
Ryan said this, the deal was concluded, and soon hundreds of Flying Wolf Cavalry appeared in front of Ryan.
"Luke Captain, we meet again."
Ryan was a little surprised. It was a soldier he knew who had served as a communications soldier for the nobles in the war between Iron Mountain County and Viscount Hogg.
"Baron Ryan-sama."
Luke called him respectfully. He is not Horace who has the power of Sky Knight, nor is he a noble Noble Title. When facing Ryan, he can't help but feel a little reserved.
"Ahead is Gray Hawk Tribe's territory. How do you think Captain Luke can make them surrender?"
Ryan stood in the gap between several large rocks, looking at the gray-white mountain peaks in front of him without many trees and soil.
This place is the corner of Mountain Forest World, a mountain peak made of gray-white stones. Even getting water is troublesome and needs to be intercepted from the gaps in the rocks.
Moreover, you can see far away at a glance.
"You can use grass and wood to burn it and smoke it."
Captain Luke said that this was a way to block Ryan, so he couldn't help but smile after finishing speaking.
"If you want to kill them, this is a good idea, but what I need now is the power of the Gray Hawk Tribe."
"So, it's up to you, Flying Wolf Cavalry, to try it."
For soldiers, fighting is instinct, and Ryan's instructions did not arouse Flying Wolf Cavalry's suspicion.
Quickly, a hundred flying wolf cavalry took off into the air, flapping their wings, and the wolf cavalry flew towards the cave on the cliff.
"Those damn alien invaders are here again!"
"They actually sent the army here!"
"Unforgivable, Deities will eat them."
"Where's the leader, what should we do?"
Amidst the commotion, the leader of the Gray Hawk Tribe made a decision.
"Do you think Gray Hawk Tribe will have a way to deal with them?"
Standing on the big rock, Ryan looked at the movement in the distant sky. Flying Wolf Cavalry was already close to the Gray Hawk Tribe's cave. It was about fifteen meters away. They were also very cautious and would not rush in rashly.
Just when Captain Luke was about to say something, hundreds of figures appeared in the dark caves, and they threw out the things in their hands.
"Is that... a fishing net?"
Ryan saw that Natives of the Gray Hawk Tribe threw out large nets. If it were not for the distance, all Flying Wolf Cavalry would be caught in the net at this moment. Look at the tenacity of the big net. Once caught, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even so, a few Flying Wolf Cavalry who didn't make it in time suffered. Unicorn Flying Wolf's wings were wide, and once caught in the net, they quickly lost their levitation power and fell downwards.
Fortunately, the height was not too high, and the knight on the back of the flying wolf used a long sword to tear the big net apart. Only one of the Unicorn Flying Wolf that fell was unlucky and struggled on the ground with a broken bone.
But this was not the end. Natives in the cave above his head took out the barrels one by one and threw them into the air. Then there were other Nativess holding stones in their hands and instantly hit the barrels.
The milky white liquid exploded, making Ryan's eyes lit up in the distance.
"Gum?"
He laughed and found a way to deal with Flying Wolf Cavalry.
"Let them come back. I will pay for every death of the master."
The purpose of borrowing seven hundred Gold Coin from Flying Wolf Cavalry has been achieved.
