"Is this power comparable to Sanctuary Knight?"
Ryan was shocked. With just one sword, he killed Demon Giant.
The crown has returned to Ryan's hand. As the power of this sword fell, the heroic spirit Gonsalves also fell into a deep sleep. This is what Grand Mage Amethyst said. There is only the last remnant of the artifact.
If it weren't for Ryan's Deer Spirit Blessing, the heroic spirit would have dissipated directly after releasing this sword, and the crown would have been shattered, and it would have followed Axeniel Continent into Eternity's death.
With the death of Demon Giant, those Cultistss also began to flee into the distance in fear, and City of the Furnace burst into a carnival like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
"We won!"
Ryan rode a war horse and walked with his Knight Retainer on City of the Furnace. Wherever he passed, all eyes were filled with fanaticism.
Indeed, victory in the war can bring trust and respect, and even those serfs will feel that they can live a better life under such a lord.
In front of everyone, Ryan also announced that all the soldiers on the city wall would be relieved of their slave status and turned into Freemen.
Such a decision is not entirely to enhance one's own prestige, but more to plan for bringing these people to Frozen Earth Territory in the future.
Slaves are the wealth of the lord, so their daily food needs to be provided by Ryan, but in Freemen and Frozen Earth Territory, you have to figure out what to eat.
Not working hard? If you don't work hard, you won't even be able to eat, and your life will be worse than that of a serf.
But the City of the Furnace slaves at this moment did not know. They were surprised by the arrival of this change and shouted for the kindness of the noble lord.
In the next day, Ryan sent soldiers out of the city to investigate the traces of Cultists. It was not until they knew that Cultists had indeed escaped that they placed Planar Gate in the center of City of the Furnace.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about avoiding this war before, but after thinking about it, he realized it was impossible.
Planar Gate, the portal is so big. City of the Furnace has a population of nearly 20,000 people. It will take a long time to pass through Planar Gate.
During this time, once the group of Demons's family members rush into the city, it will definitely lead to an extremely chaotic situation.
And once Planar Gate appears, City of the Furnace will definitely not be able to keep Abyssal Monster out of the city.
With a way out, everything will be different.
In addition, Ryan still needs to loot the entire City of the Furnace. He needs wealth. There has never been a moment when he needs wealth more than now.
Because the population of City of the Furnace is too large, and the population of 20,000 people appears in Frozen Earth Territory, it is not only a messy problem in all aspects, but more importantly, the scarcity of food.
Imperial Merchant Guild's food has arrived, but how long can it last?
Ryan needs wealth, and needs a lot of Gold Coin and South things that the nobles love to trade for enough food.
Without food, he couldn't feed so many people. Without food, he couldn't feed more troops. Without an army, he couldn't expand more territory.
It can only be said that Frozen Earth Territory has ushered in its first population crisis.
But it is not impossible for Ryan to give up these 20,000 people.
Ryan stood at the ruins of the Mage Academy. The air here was no longer warm, replaced by a shivering cold. The artifact disappeared, and the Furnace completely lost its final temperature. In just a few hours, the temperature of City of the Furnace was like a bleak autumn wind.
Such temperature changes caused many elderly people in City of the Furnace to pass away. They could not bear the cold.
Ryan, who knows this result, can only let people from City of the Furnace cross Space Gate to Frozen Earth Territory in batches.
"Let some soldiers who participated in the City of the Furnace defense war go to Frozen Earth Territory first."
After the order was given, City of the Furnace also calmed down in the short-lived excitement. Many slaves and civilians were desperate, thinking that Ryan had given up on themselves, and stayed at home wrapped in clothes to welcome death with City of the Furnace.
Northwind blew, and City of the Furnace snowed in the early morning of another day.
"This is the first snowfall in City of the Furnace in a hundred years."
Behind Ryan, stood some former nobles. Their eyes looked at Ryan's back with awe and a change in their identity.
Before Space Gate came out, they still had the glory and pride of the nobility, but when Planar Gate, which City of the Furnace had not touched for hundreds of years, was easily released by Ryan, all their dignity was gone.
At this moment, when they looked at City of the Furnace Feixue, their eyes did not have the aesthetic sense of this quiet snow city, but fear and despair.
In the Axeniel Continent's more than 100 years, there is no story that praises winter.
Everyone knows that in the cold Northlands, there is only endless cold and an endless belly. Not even beasts can survive in Winter's Chill.
Ryan shutting down Planar Gate not only made the civilians and slaves at the bottom who could not see anything despair, but also the nobles Descendant who came from noble families were also uneasy.
City of the Furnace has gradually entered the same cold winter as Northlands. If they cannot follow Ryan to leave, they will eventually die in a cold night.
"Death and cold will fill this city, but before it dies completely, there is still soil that can be planted."
"Although most of the soil has been excavated and taken away, the remaining land still needs to be used, especially the side near the Mage Academy, where the soil is still fully fertile."
Ryan turned his head and looked at the people who had chosen to follow Noble Council on the battlefield, and said:
"I want you to stay here for a while, at least until this winter, and plant the land here. I need a lot of food."
"The birth of Baronet System, I have also told you that when you go to my territory this winter, I will give you three quotas, three Lordship quotas, and I can let you walk through Planar Gate with at least five hundred Gold Coin wealth."
"This is my mercy and the answer you cannot choose."
Ryan's words made many of the people in front of them still couldn't help but clench their fists, but just like Ryan said, they had no choice.
Staying here is a dead end, and no one thinks they can survive this winter.
And once they decide to become Ryan's subjects, they have no right to choose.
After Ryan finished speaking, he turned around again and looked at the snowy City of the Furnace. Without the heat of Geothermal Furnace, even the air he exhaled seemed to be frosting.
