"Ryan, this is all your fault!"
As a lord and a noble, of course they would not look for the reasons within themselves. Since they were young, they have had no chance to look for problems within themselves.
"If you hadn't commanded us to leave the castle, how could my soldiers have lost so many? How could my territory have been plundered and plundered by them?!"
Ryan also looked at Barnes coldly. His anger hadn't been released yet, so it was Barnes's turn?
"Barnes, are you questioning me?"
"Among the noble allies, if one side escapes during the war, is this your honor Barnes Family?"
"Southern Continent, I have never heard of such a thing. Barnes, do you know what you will become if this kind of thing spreads to the empire South?"
"You will be despised by all the nobles. No noble will be willing to regard you Barnes Family as a friend. They will only laugh at and be wary of you, a treacherous villain!"
"You!"
Barnes pointed at Ryan, his chest rising and falling but he couldn't say a word.
During the war, he left Ryan's army behind, although not running away, he left.
This is a fact, a fact that no one can refute, and he cannot suppress it.
"Your soldiers died? If you led them to station in that town, would so many of your soldiers die at the gate of your own castle, blocked by the narrow mountain road and gate of Flower of Northwind that you are so proud of?"
"Your town was robbed? Your enemy is not Orcs. They are also nobles. The nobles have their own rules. They will never dare to loot your territory for no reason in front of everyone. All the reasons are because you lost the war here."
"They are the victors of the war, and they deserve the rights of victors, and looting is one of them."
"Before your army failed, did they sack the town? It's all because of war, and the winner gets everything!"
"All this is caused by you Barnes!"
"Not only did you cause the death of your army and the plunder of your territory's wealth, you also caused the death of more than half of my army."
Ryan stared at Barnes's face. The hot breath brought by Blaze Dragon Knights made Barnes feel a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Barnes, you probably didn't expect that I would win, right? I won the victory that should have belonged to us. I caused Count Weiss's army to suffer heavy losses in Zero Crossing Prefecture. I used a thousand soldiers to win a war that was several times the number of our enemies."
"This war will be recorded and sung, and you, Barnes, in this story, are a villain with no credibility who abandoned the honor of the nobility, abandoned his allies and ran away!"
Hearing this, Barnes finally panicked and whispered:
"I didn't run away, I was just too worried about my castle."
"Hmph! Baron Barnes, you'd better be like this instead of starting to be afraid when you see Count Weiss's army."
"Besides, you should be happy that I won this war. Perhaps this victory should have belonged to the three of us Baron."
Barnes's eyes lit up.
"Ryan...Ice Peak Forest, I agree to the allocation. You alone will occupy 30%, and Baron Hatton and I will each occupy 10%."
"And Ryan... can you let my people participate when recording."
Indeed, this war in which a small number of people prevailed over a large number was destined to be recorded and praised. Barnes did not want bad news about himself to spread. He wanted to be the winner.
Ryan looked at Barnes with a cold smile.
"Let's talk about this matter again. You'd better arrange for someone to tidy up your territory. If those corpses are left for a long time, a plague will occur."
Of course, Ryan cannot let Barnes off so easily.
From now on, the alliance between the three noble families will be completely dominated by Frozen Earth Territory.
No matter from which aspect.
"You actually... lost?"
Viscount Miles looked at the message on his hand in shock. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times, worried that he might be dazzled.
In the end, he had to admit that this was destined to be a war that would be legendary.
"Baron of the Frozen Earth defeated four thousand soldiers from the Weiss Ducal Family with one thousand soldiers. This war will shock the entire Northwind Province."
Next to him, Kristan couldn't help but worry about his father.
"Father, at least we don't have an army to go. This failure means no Miles."
"What do you know!"
Viscount Miles roared, like an old beast, looking at the message in his hand unwillingly.
Next to him, Rag, the youngest son of Viscount Miles, said:
"Brother, this war represents the war between Viscount Miles and Baron of the Frozen Earth. The name of the family will appear in the most conspicuous place no matter what."
"Moreover, Count Weiss's army lost to that Baron of the Frozen Earth. We no longer have an absolute advantage to deal with Viscount Dragoon. In fact, Viscount Dragoon may become active and even attack us after knowing this news."
"We want to help Count Weiss gain the support of the entire Zero Crossing Prefecture, and then use Weiss Ducal Family to suppress the nobles of Zero Crossing Prefecture, so that Miles Family can occupy this land forever."
"But now..."
Kristan looked at Rag, and he could tell that these words made sense and were what his father wanted to hear, but there was deep anger hidden in his eyes at the moment.
His younger brother had the glory that should have been his.
"Kristan, please go out first."
Viscount Miles's tired voice sounded, making Kristan even more angry, but he did not dare to resist his father.
"Rag... Maybe you are right."
A war will be remembered and will also change the situation of Zero Crossing Prefecture. Viscount Dragoon soon sent people to Flower of Northwind to congratulate Ryan on becoming the dazzling military noble of the empire.
Then he invited them to attack Zero Crossing City together. Viscount Dragoon's army had assembled and was about to set off to the front Zero Crossing City to occupy the land he cherished.
Of course, Ryan refused, and the reason was very legitimate. He and Baron Barnes's army suffered unprecedented losses and no longer had enough troops.
Regarding this point, he believed that the nobles would not doubt it, because winning with less and defeating more without favorable geographical conditions was destined to be tragic, and the failure before Northwind Flower Fortress was destined to be complained twice by those showing off nobles.
Maybe now among those nobles, Baron Barnes has no soldiers, only slaves.
On the fifth day after the messenger left, Ryan learned through scouts that Viscount Dragoon's army appeared thirty miles away from Zero Crossing City, numbering tens of thousands.
