"After Deities's Pan-Planar War, many great nobles realized one thing."
"That is, the importance of elite troops far exceeds the number of troops."
"Soldiers who do not retreat in the face of blood and death are the soldiers who can bring victory. An army composed of slaves is qualified to be slaughtered in front of such an army."
"But they don't realize this. They are still using slaves to form armies on a large scale, trying to scare the enemy to death with their numbers."
"It's okay if the opposite army is like this, but if it's not, it will definitely be defeated."
"In this war, if we hadn't come at the perfect time, too coincidental, and just waited for the opportunity for the armies of both sides to collapse, we would have been in a bitter battle, and many infantrymen would have died."
On the battlefield, Ryan wrote his reflections on this war with blood. He knew that he was too bold when he led the army down. As long as the soldiers of the nobles on both sides persisted for a while, his soldiers would be in a bitter battle.
After all, the military quality of his soldiers was only a little higher, and the only army he truly recognized was the more than a hundred cavalry.
On the battlefield, the rich blood made Ryan feel uncomfortable breathing. He tore open his expensive silk clothes to cover his mouth and nose. Under Twilight, the flames of burning corpses dimmed the sky. The fiery red Cloud Sea recorded the cruelty of war, making the beasts in this the Forest fear the bloody turbidity and silence.
The three nobles Ryan, Barnes and Lynn finally met with a dozen nobles from Viscount Dragoon's side. Under the fiery red sunset, the contract between the nobles will be witnessed by Deities, although Deities doesn't care about this at all.
"Everything Ice Peak Forest will belong to us. Whether it is Magic Crystal Mine, Gold Mine or Iron Ore, they all belong to the winner of this war. The winners, Frozen Earth Territory, Divine Steed Territory, and Flower of Northwind, Baron, will reasonably enjoy half of the ownership rights."
"..."
"The fairness and rationality of the contract will be recognized by all nobles. I swear by the honor between nobles that a new war will definitely start due to division. The glory of Lord of Dawn will shine on our glory."
Viscount Dragoon looked at the three Ryan in front of him and said expressionlessly:
"We will enjoy everything here together."
Ryan smiled and performed a standard noble etiquette. At this moment, the relationship between them was once again that of Baron and the viscount.
"As you wish."
On the Viscount Dragoon side, no noble would think that without Ryan their army would lose everything Ice Peak Forest. They could only see that they had received more allocations now, and looked at the Ryan three with gritted teeth.
Especially Baron Roach, Baron, after losing his elite soldiers, had no choice but to take refuge in Viscount Dragoon.
"The war is not over."
Viscount Dragoon said.
"Yeah, it's not over."
Ryan looked at the viscount without any retreat, while Baron Barnes beside him lowered his head subconsciously.
They all know what it means.
The war of Ice Peak Forest does not mean the end of the war of Northwind Province. Here they are fighting for wealth, interests, and prestige, and the next war in their respective home territories will change the entire Northwind Province.
At that time, I am afraid it will also affect the division of interests of Ice Peak Forest.
For example, if the territories of Ryan and Barnes are breached, their armies are completely annihilated, and they themselves are captured, will they have to use Ice Peak Forest's interests in exchange, or as a ransom?
Similarly, the converse is also true. If Ryan leads the army and beats all the lords of Zero Crossing Prefecture into obedience, then Ice Peak Forest will probably be his only.
Is this fair and reasonable? Of course, hypocritical nobles always have many ways to break their past oaths.
"But Mr. Vicomte."
Ryan continued to speak.
"You have also seen that Count Weiss sent his younger brother, Baronet Artel, to come to Zero Crossing Prefecture in person, and that Count Weiss actually has an extraordinary legion in his hands."
"The third Extraordinary Legion of Northwind Province has appeared, so before that, maybe we should still be friends."
Viscount Dragoon finally smiled after his expression was gloomy and angry.
"Hahahaha, yes Ryan, Miles dared to betray Zero Crossing Prefecture's interests. This is despised by the nobles. He gave up the glory of the Miles Family. We will never allow other nobles to share our wealth. Likewise, Viscount Miles is not worthy of being the governor of Zero Crossing Prefecture."
"Of course I personally support you in becoming the master of that city." Ryan still had a smile on his face.
The atmosphere between the nobles on both sides finally eased at this moment. Viscount Dragoon smiled and pulled Ryan to share the exquisite food he brought.
Ryan was a little surprised. Even when marching, did the viscount carry so many hard-to-preserve things with him in the army?
But looking at the normal behavior of the nobles around him, Ryan fell silent.
Come all come.
"Ryan, you don't have an engagement yet, right?"
At the banquet, Viscount Dragoon looked at Ryan and nodded with great satisfaction.
"We still have to wait for news about the father and mother at home."
Ryan said truthfully, if his guess was correct, Clayton Family should find him a marriage partner, but he had no intention of resisting. The world was too loose for nobles, and as a noble lady, there was absolutely no way she could look like that bucket the Lady.
Of course, Ryan himself is not in a hurry. He has not even passed his sixteenth birthday yet, he is just a fifteen and a half year old boy.
To this world, he might be anxious, but in his heart, he is different. At this age, he has not even finished school yet.
Therefore, Ryan chose not to hear the words "I have a daughter" and "I have a sister" from Viscount Dragoon and the nobles around him.
Of course, at the end of the banquet, these nobles couldn't help but sigh and broke into one sentence.
"Everyone underestimates you Frozen Earth Territory's Baron."
No one thought that this war would fail (win) because of Ryan. They had to admit that when Ryan appeared on the hillside with his army, arriving like divine soldiers from heaven, the troops on the battlefield scattered like birds and beasts, as if Deities was really taking care of the lord of Frozen Earth Territory. It was incredible.
"Perhaps, we should change our attitude towards this Frozen Earth Territory Baron."
At this moment, many nobles in Zero Crossing Prefecture had similar thoughts.
