No wonder no one has been looking for Ryan before. It turns out that the problem arises here.
First of all, those mineral veins are definitely not willing to be shared by one more person. Secondly, if the territory is re-divided and those nobles want their Lordship Knightdom to be closer to themselves, they will also agree with It doesn't matter if Ryan is Frozen Earth Territory, no noble would like the place Frozen Earth Territory, and from a geographical point of view, Frozen Earth Territory is unlikely to affect the redistribution of land.
The same is true for Divine Steed Territory of Baron Hatton. He is the closest to Frozen Earth Territory. Naturally, he is far away from the territories of other nobles.
The only trouble was the conflict with Baron Roach, but it has been resolved now. It is said that Knight Walter has given up on Knightdom and went to Baron Roach's territory with his people and wealth.
Redevelopment in the future will be no less difficult than for his father.
In any era, wars over land are cruel. This has never changed. Ryan can already imagine the bloody storm that will follow.
Flower of Northwind, thousands of soldiers gathered in this ancient castle, which naturally attracted the attention of the two viscount nobles.
So, just two days after Ryan came here, Viscount Miles's messenger arrived at the castle.
That was the eldest son of Viscount Miles, Kristan·Miles. Originally, this person didn't want to come, but after Viscount Miles's younger son Rag·Miles took the initiative to invite him, the eldest son couldn't sit still and wanted to show his presence.
"Baron Ryan, everyone underestimated you, Clayton Family's support for you is beyond our imagination."
Kristan looked at Ryan and said solemnly, what he cared about was not Ryan, but Count Clayton Family behind Ryan.
Ryan looked at the future Viscount Miles, a little funny, and he asked an irrelevant question.
"Mr. Kristan, you come here alone, do you do it of your own free will?"
Kristan's expression became indifferent. Although he came here in a scramble, he believed that no outsiders knew about it and it would not have spread here so quickly.
He did not respond to Ryan, but looked at Barnes.
"Baron Barnes, my father, the master of the Viscount Miles Family, and the governor of Zero Crossing Prefecture asked me to ask you why you assembled such a huge army."
Barnes smiled, raised his head and nodded Ryan.
"You should answer Baron Ryan's question first. Kristan. As a future fifth-class noble, you seem to have not learned the noble etiquette yet. You should not ignore a noble's question."
Ryan didn't care and just said:
"Since Mr. Kristan has been silent, he has already answered my question. It seems that our future Mr. Viscount Miles has been plotted against."
"What do you mean?"
Kristan clenched his fists, with veins exposed, and stared at Ryan.
"Isn't it?"
Ryan looked at Kristan.
"Everyone knows that no matter who comes to us, it is impossible for us to leave and disband their own army, but Mr. Kristan, you have accepted this mission that is bound to fail. After returning to Viscount's Territory, this will become your stain. Everyone, especially the nobles who gathered around Viscount Miles, will see your incompetence."
"For whatever reason, you failed."
"So, this failure was originally going to fall on someone else, but Mr. Kristan, you didn't apply for it on your own initiative. As the eldest son of the Viscount, of course you can take credit from anyone."
"The premise is that it's really merit."
Under the gaze of Ryan, Kristan was trembling all over. His face was a little ferocious, so much so that he could not keep calm in front of Ryan and the others.
In the end, the viscount's eldest son left with anger and resentment.
Looking at each other's back as they left, Ryan and Barnes looked at each other.
"It seems that Viscount Miles can't beat that Viscount Dragoon."
Ryan said with a sigh, because the eldest son of Dragon must surpass this one no matter where he is.
Go back a few hours.
The eldest son of Viscount Dragoon, Ellis·Dragon, rode alone on a war horse and came to Flower of Northwind. He did not enter the castle, but just left a few words and left in the dust.
"As long as the three Baron are not enemies of the Dragoon Family, they will always be friends of the Dragoon Family."
"I hope the three Baron will not be blinded by interests. We can divide all the land together."
"If the three Baron decide to be enemies with the Dragoon Family, they will be enemies with our fifty thousand troops. Our soldiers will definitely break through this ancient castle and plant the Dragon flag on top of that Flower of Northwind."
I don't know if it was the language taught to him by the viscount or the language of his own organization. In the end, he gave Ryan and others a little shock.
"Viscount Miles's eldest son will be here soon. He has snatched the mission that should have been Rag. You don't have much time to think about it."
This is telling them that Dragon can fully grasp the internal information of the Viscount Miles Family. Faced with such an advantage, Viscount Dragoon doesn't know how to lose.
It is precisely because of this that Ryan would test like this.
Compared to Ryan, Barnes is much more dignified.
"It's impossible for them to have an army of fifty thousand. It's far from possible, but it won't be too few. Ten thousand is definitely there."
"This number is indestructible to my Flower of Northwind, but it can immobilize us. We will get nothing by then."
After all, they gather for profit. If they gain nothing, they will lose a lot.
"Don't worry, Mr. Barnes, you have forgotten the most serious thing."
Ryan said with a smile.
"You forgot that our Lord Viscount, the Sheriff, is really going to die."
"I thought he wouldn't survive the last winter, but since he survived the last winter, this winter is destined to bury him."
"I think this is why Viscount Dragoon is able to sow discord within Viscount Miles's circle."
"But they all underestimated a dying old man who could hide his identity as a magician for so many years, especially when the other party knew that the descendants of his family had no abilities."
"He will go crazy for the Miles Family's wealth and land."
"We just have to wait and they will give us a chance."
Ryan After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to the castle.
He didn't have much confidence in Viscount Miles's guess. He just felt that if Viscount Miles lost too miserably, it would be too unworthy of the Viscount family's methods of plundering Zero Crossing Prefecture for so many years.
In the same way, it also gave Baron Barnes some confidence. He suddenly discovered that this Baron was not as determined as he thought to fight against the two viscounts.
