"In the territory of the Andara Kingdom, Griffin Grand Duke and King break up?"
On Thundercloud Mountain, Shaya·Meyers curiously looked at the letter from the empire South, and then his eyes were thinking about something.
"No, I want to write a letter to Grand Duke McReynolds and ask him to help arrest Church of Dawn's followers."
I did as I said, but after I finished writing the letter, I didn't know how to send it to the Andara Kingdom.
"If we can collect 10,000 units of Dawn Faith, maybe..."
She stroked her belly and did not continue.
"Grand Duke McReynolds broke up with King, which means it also parted ways with the Church. In this case, the empire will soon send troops to the Andara Kingdom."
She sent the letter to Winged Gorge and looked for an opportunity to send it to Griffin Grand Duke.
The weather in Northlands is gradually getting warmer, but the ground in Northwind Province is still covered with snow.
Winged Gorge's army has never appeared in Northwind Province in the past thirty years, but today, a team has crossed the portal of Winged Gorge.
"I have never thought that this is the land of the empire. Compared with the warmth of South, Northwind Province is simply too cold."
Hundreds of people walking in Silver Stream County looked at this vast white world, all lamenting Grand Duke Mayers's angry attack on Northwind.
"After spending so much wealth, Northwind has never been able to bring benefits to the empire. The only thing is that Iron Ore is much cheaper."
"But the empire never lacks weapons and equipment."
The leader is Knight Farrell, the powerful Sanctuary Knight. At the same time, he is also Rampaging Elephant Legion Commander of Winged Gorge.
Affiliated to the empire's army, the Rampaging Elephant, numbering only five thousand, eat dozens of times the population's food every year, but there is no doubt about their power.
Farrell submitted his identity, walked through the noble territory, and finally came to Thundercloud Mountain.
"Sir Governor, I came here to ask when the road to the Andara Kingdom will be repaired."
Farrell is not a nobleman. His family fell into decline a long time ago. Rampaging Elephant Legion Commander's status is not as good as that of Northwind Province's governor.
"You called me Governor?"
Shaya was surprised and curious. She had been here for so long, and none of the nobles Northwind Province called her Governor. For a moment, this made her a little happy.
"Baron Ryan is presiding over the construction of the road. I think it will be repaired soon."
"Why are you asking this?"
Farrell replied:
"Just yesterday evening, the emperor's order arrived at Winged Gorge. Rampaging Elephant Legion will assist Grand Duke McReynolds. However, the road between Winged Gorge and Andara Kingdom is not easy to walk. The snowstorm last year caused several landslides on the road. Now we can no longer reach the kingdom."
"So that's it. No wonder the empire wants to build a road in Northwind Province."
Shaya nodded. She didn't quite understand the geographical issues involved. She only knew that Winged Gorge was once used to defend the east and east the North enemies of the empire.
Logically speaking, there should be a way.
Faced with this question, Farrell also provided an explanation for the woman Mayers Family.
"The environment will change. Neither the empire nor the kingdom has sent people to keep the roads open. In addition, the empire and the kingdom have not had conflicts for hundreds of years."
"The last time a conflict almost broke out was more than thirty years ago, but after your grandfather - Grand Duke Mayers defeated Northwind Province, Andara Kingdom's King became more obedient and did not dare to approach the empire's border again."
There has been no close communication between the two sides for hundreds of years, which naturally led to the disappearance of the road.
"One of the reasons for this is the Church. Since the empire expelled Church of Dawn, the communication between South's world kingdom and aristocratic realm and the empire has disappeared. The Church used this method to block the empire. After the nobles discovered that the Church was helpless to the empire, they secretly continued to maintain contact."
The struggle between Royal Authority and theocracy was felt most directly by Winged Gorge who was stationed in the army, because in those years they could often receive orders from Imperial Capital, which made Winged Gorge nervous again and again.
Therefore, Farrell also knows many situations and secrets on the mainland.
After speaking, he asked curiously:
"Is it Baron Ryan who built the road? Is it Baron who is said to be the real power of Northwind Province?"
The reputation of Ryan was only recently spread. After all, the death of Marquis caused an uproar that could sweep through every noble territory in the entire empire and become a topic of conversation among the nobles in every exchange.
Inevitably, the number of words about Northwind Province will also increase, and the nobles in this province are also their focus.
Northwind has three most powerful nobles, Count Winter, Count Soron, and Baron Ryan.
Forget about the first two, Noble Title proved their power, but Baron Ryan could not help but make many nobles curious.
How could a Baron become one of the three most powerful nobles of Northwind Province.
Winged Gorge As one of the intersections, Legion Commander Farrell has naturally heard of it.
"Yes, that Clayton Family is the very strong Baron."
Shaya laughed, and Farrell said goodbye and headed towards Zero Crossing Prefecture.
Extraordinary Legion Commander's identity puts him higher than many nobles, but this Saint Realm Legion Commander is not as violent as Rampaging Elephant, but gentle and polite.
When he arrived at Zero Crossing City, the place was already crowded with transport workers. He did not have slaves like Dispel, but followed the slaves into and out of the city, and finally came to the road under construction to the east.
Seeing the dense crowd here and the many tall Alchemical Creation, Farrell was also a little shocked.
"So wide?"
In front of him, the red soil was wide and straight into the distance. The slaves walking on it carried stones and sawdust wrapped in mud and poured them into the gaps in the road. Then the tall Alchemical Creation compacted the ground little by little.
The light of Magic Crystal bloomed in the body of the road roller. The cost of building the road was difficult for Farrell to understand.
Boom!!!
The iron hooves of the war horse ran on the road and came to Farrell. The knight of Frozen Earth Territory invited Farrell to go to the front of the road construction.
Ryan looked at the group of Farrell who arrived. He didn't know them. It wasn't until the latter took the initiative to introduce them that he realized that this was the famous Rampaging Elephant Legion Commander.
Winged Gorge has only one Legendary, but there are seven or eight Saint Realm. The Farrell in front of you is the most powerful one.
"Baron Ryan-sama."
Farrell salutes. Although he has a high status, he is not a noble after all. Whether he salutes or not all depends on the meaning, but Farrell doesn't seem to mind saluting a Baron.
"Knight Farrell, your name is also well known. I didn't expect you to lead Rampaging Elephant Legion to the Andara Kingdom's war."
Farrell surprised.
"Baron Ryan knows?"
"My guess is that if it wasn't for this purpose, Rampaging Elephant Legion Commander would have no reason to leave Winged Gorge."
"Northwind Province has always been quite cold, hasn't it? In comparison, Winged Gorge is much warmer."
Farrell nodded and praised:
"No wonder they all say that Baron Ryan is the best Military Commander of Northwind Province. From this alone, you can guess the truth. You are qualified to compete for the highest Commander of Winged Gorge."
"If you are not Legendary, you are not qualified to compete."
Ryan said with a smile, and then realized something.
"Winged Gorge's Commander is going to be replaced?"
Farrell nodded. He didn't seem to want to hide anything about Baron Ryan. There were some words that he didn't even say when he was at Thundercloud Mountain Marquis's mansion.
"Not long ago, Commander of Winged Gorge, Legendary Knight Cradock named "Rock" received an order to go to South to participate in the war between the empire and the Church."
"The new Commander has not been determined yet."
"But as far as I know, Legendary Knight, who is friends with the Mayers Family, has defected to the empire and plans to compete for this position."
"He has no competition."
After Farrell finished speaking, Ryan looked at Sanctuary Knight and said:
"He has."
"Mr. Farrell went to the Andara Kingdom this time. He should be planning to be promoted to Legendary, right?"
"In this case, the Legendary Knight of the Mayers Family cannot appear in Winged Gorge."
Farrell smiled slightly.
"That's right, in the letter between Master "Rock" and the Emperor, he ordered me to win a Legendary victory at the Andara Kingdom in order to be promoted to Legendary, as Legion Commander of Winged Gorge, I am more suitable than anyone else to be Commander of Winged Gorge."
"Considering that this matter is related to my Legendary promotion and the emperor's order, I planned to come to Northwind Province in person to supervise the construction of the road. But I didn't expect that it would be smoother than I imagined. Baron Ryan personally supervised it. A huge amount of wealth gathered here just for this road."
Ryan shook his head and said:
"This is not an easy road."
"It's my cash cow."
After saying that, Ryan looked at Farrell and asked:
"Knight Farrell are you planning to take a share?"
"Money tree?"
Farrell was surprised, then looked at Ryan, thinking about the benefits.
"Of course I do, Baron Ryan are you willing to give up your interests?"
"It's not about surrendering, it's about common prosperity."
After Ryan finished speaking, he continued:
"But you are not qualified now. Only when you become Legendary, Legion Commander of Winged Gorge, or even create your own Farrell Family, will you be qualified."
Farrell breathed rapidly and stared at Ryan. At this moment, he seemed to be seen through all of Baron in front of him.
In one sentence, he expressed all his thoughts and future.
"I wonder how I guessed it?"
Ryan smiled lightly, do people in this world, especially groups that are not nobles or demons Mages, have anything more than this goal?
He pointed to the wasteland ahead. Frozen Earth Territory soldiers were digging the hardest soil, turning stones into gravel and leveling the land.
"This road allows three carriages to run parallel without feeling crowded. It leads all the way to the edge of Viscount Fragoso's Domain within the Andara Kingdom, which is also the edge of the Griffin Mountains. Once the road is completed, the war horses can rush to the hinterland of the Andara Kingdom within one day."
"If everything goes well, we can even reach Andara Kingdom's royal city directly."
Thanks to the current situation of the Andara Kingdom, the other side will not stop the construction of this road, and will even provide help.
Farrell looked at Ryan and didn't understand why he said this.
"You see, this is the gap between us. Knight Farrell You are not willing to think about the outcome of this matter in a roundabout way."
"That is, Andara Kingdom has a more convenient and closer road to connect to the empire."
"The wealth of the entire kingdom will come to the empire through this road."
"This road will also allow the empire's wealth to flow into the Andara Kingdom."
Hearing this, Farrell's breathing quickened.
He is Legion Commander of Winged Gorge, so he naturally knows that in addition to the annual allocation from the empire, Winged Gorge himself will also earn a lot of wealth.
All come from those chambers of commerce heading north.
"Baron means that this place will become a trade connection between the empire and the kingdom in the future?"
"It will definitely happen."
"Of course, the premise is that Knight Farrell you can really win a Legendary war on the opposite side this time."
The road leading to the Andara Kingdom is half complete, but the remaining thirty miles or so is the key to this challenge, because it has to pass through a considerable part of the Griffin Mountains.
Those Legendary cleared away the powerful Magical Beast, but the environment itself was a huge challenge for the road construction team.
Some Ryan had to let extraordinary knights and demons Mages take action, including those Gargoyle, to ensure a smooth road. He even transported the stones mined from the mine veins here from Mountain Forest World.
The huge cost meant that ordinary slaves and civilians were not eligible to earn this income at all. Only armies and soldiers were able to transport across long distances.
This all requires money, and with the food supplies for so many people and the production of extraordinary creations, Ryan will spill out a lot of money every day.
The money was not paid by the nobles together, but by Ryan alone.
The nobles of Northwind paid a large number of slaves and the price of inviting the demon Mages. Their extraordinary participation doubled the speed of road construction. Otherwise, with the productivity of this era, this road would have been impossible to complete in just one or two years.
The reason why Ryan is so positive is that he wants to complete the road in two or three months.
Knights, demons Mages, under the supervision of Lord Ryan, must all participate, build bridges when they encounter rivers, and fill in valleys when they encounter them.
Things that ordinary people can't do or take a long time to complete, extraordinary people can complete in just a few hours, just like those bridges grafted on the mountainside, Gargoyle and the magic Mages are indispensable.
This road may last for thousands of years.
After paying so much, Ryan doesn't want anyone else to pick peaches.
At this moment, wooing Knight Farrell is also a consideration in this regard. If Winged Gorge blocks South's chamber of commerce and prevents them from going north, it will also be a huge trouble.
While Northwind Province continued to build roads, the situation within the Andara Kingdom also moved in a new direction.
The kingdom would never easily admit the defeat of the first war. Under the order of King, more troops gathered in Twin Cities. This prosperous city connecting the four directions turned into a military city in a short period of time.
Most of the nobles did not understand what happened to the west of the kingdom. They only knew that Grand Duke McReynolds betrayed the kingdom, so they should send troops as a matter of course.
The huge coalition needs a commander, and this commander cannot be Grand Duke Leta's uncle, that Legendary Witch Ghosts Anla.
Even including Witch Ghost Legion, there is a brand new commander in chief.
Member of the royal family, heir of King, His Highness Hernan.
Having become the commander of an army of nearly 100,000 people, Hernan·Andara's blood was boiling. During the few days after arriving at Twin Cities, he could hardly walk without feeling.
"I will give an order to the nobles to the west to send troops to attack the traitor MacReynolds."
"I only give them one day. If they refuse, it will be regarded as a betrayal of the kingdom and a betrayal of the Andara Royal Family."
In front of everyone, His Highness Hernan said this, and his actions were also fast. That afternoon, a large number of letters went to one noble territory after another.
"Baron Huffman, how many nobles do you think will come to me?"
When alone, there is only one Baron beside His Highness Hernan.
"They will all come. You are the Crown Prince of this kingdom and the successor of this kingdom. It is inevitable that they will be loyal to you. Those who resist will die in the burning flames."
However, after waiting for a day, no nobles expressed their loyalty to the kingdom. Instead, they gathered an army and stood on the side of Grand Duke McReynolds.
This result made Hernan's face dull. With a gloomy expression, he angrily killed the few noble envoys who responded.
"Attack! Attack!"
"I want them to know that the price of betrayal is that disloyal nobles will be deprived of all their wealth and their lives."
"King's sword edge will tell them that death is not a punishment, and their blood will be hung on the cross and burned to death!"
In the name of King, Hernan deprived Fragoso and other nobles of their Noble Title, orthodoxy and inheritance qualifications. In Twin Cities, he commanded an army of 100,000 to launch an attack to the west.
"Your Highness, our target is fifteen nobles. How should we attack them?"
Baron Huffman asked. This question made Hernan a little stiff. He blinked and then said righteously:
"There is no need to attack. Our army will crush all enemies. When MacReynolds dies at our feet, all the nobles will kneel down and beg me to spare their blood."
So, an army of one hundred thousand moved towards Grand Duke McReynolds's Domain.
On the first day, something went wrong with the army.
Some soldiers could not find their own camps and fled among the 100,000-strong army. The soldiers at the rear stepped on the feces left by the soldiers in front and cursed. In the evening, some noble troops actually broke out into battle.
The next day... three hundred people died.
