Throne of the North

Stability is the era that the nobles desire most.

The other world has completely stabilized. Everyone joins hands to mine those mineral veins and gain wealth together. There will be no more wars.

There is no invasion of orcs in the North Wind Province this year, and the land war between the nobles has ended early.

A large number of people have been arranged to mine and will not return to the territory in a short time.

Because of the lack of people, the North Wind Province has become extremely stable. Under the wind and snow, everyone is doing their own things. The weather is bad and they don’t go out.

The whole province looks solemn and quiet under the wind and snow.

The nobles are naturally happy with the stable territory environment, so they also have the idea of ​​going to the mild land in the south to avoid the cold.

When the six nobles went to the south to visit their future in-laws, other nobles gradually became interested.

It is really too cold in the blizzard environment, and the nobles can’t stay in the room covered by the magic circle all the time, and there is not so much wealth to squander on this.

It’s better to go to the south to see for avoiding the cold and political factors.

By the way, the native nobles of the North Wind Province have not traveled to the south after becoming the nobles of the empire.

So some nobles formed a group and planned to go to the imperial capital to see this year's God's Grace Festival, and even visit Columbus III, the great emperor of the empire.

After the nobles left, the territory continued to operate as usual, which also shows that without these nobles in the territory, the impact is actually not great.

But these nobles did not take their heirs with them, but left them to manage the territory.

The lords cannot leave the territory for a long time. They have to let their majesty always cover the heads of their people. Killing a few people from time to time is also a way to maintain majesty.

The heirs can replace the lords, so the people will not feel too much.

But the heirs also have many things they can't deal with, such as those priests who "pass by" their own territory.

"Wouldn't it be better to drive them away? The nobles have all the power in their own territory and have the right to prevent the staff of the Church from entering."

On the Rhinoceros Horn Mountain in the frozen land territory, Ryan answered the incoming inquiry.

Therefore, it was difficult for these priests and monks and nuns who came from afar to enter the territory.

They could only go to those cities, but they were also avoided like snakes and scorpions.

"This is... a dark place that my Lord has never illuminated."

The priest said so, and the monks and nuns behind him agreed greatly, looking at the people around them angrily.

"They should be tied to the cross and burned to death with the flames of my Lord."

A nun approached a family on the street and wanted to collect some supplies for serving the Dawn, but was driven out, so her eyes were gloomy.

"It's just a silver coin, they don't even want to take it out. In their hearts, they are basically blaspheming the faith of the Dawn."

"We should use cruel punishment to let them understand the glory of the Dawn!"

The nun said like a devil's whisper.

"The Lord will punish these unbelievers."

The leading priest exuded a faint holy light, which made the people around him in awe.

Then... they couldn't find a place to live.

The next day, these people disappeared in the city.

...

Frozen Territory.

Ryan was a little surprised.

"Our Lord Marquis, this time he had such courage to kill so many priests and missionaries."

After that, he said to himself:

"Perhaps, it was the grace of the God of Light that gave him courage and confidence."

"The royal family and Mayes should have arranged some extraordinary people to help him."

Ryan looked at the handwriting on the intelligence.

Where a priest died, there was an inextinguishable black horseshoe-shaped flame, which did not dissipate until half a day later.

The power of the Nightmare Knight's breathing method, this terrible breathing method that combines divinity, can enable the knight to have the means to merge into the shadow. At the same time, the released nightmare flame can also corrode metal.

Assimilate the warhorse mount into a part of the Nightmare Knight, and when it is fatally injured, it can transfer the injury to the Nightmare Warhorse.

The extraordinary army of the Grand Duke Mayes family has exceeded the boundaries of the mundane world and truly and completely broke into the extraordinary realm.

This is the strength of the Grand Duke's family.

"However, the personnel sent by the Church this time are mixed."

The other handwriting in front of Ryan described the extreme behavior of the monks, nuns, priests and missionaries after they came to the North Wind Province.

They believed that all slaves and civilians should kneel in front of them to welcome the glory of the dawn.

Everyone must serve the faith of the Lord of the Dawn devoutly. The most direct way is to give money. Copper coins are too low-level and not qualified to serve the dawn, so at least silver coins are required?

How can a family afford silver coins?

Also, all the consumption is paid by the nobles wherever they go, and they pray for the nobles to be immune to all diseases and give birth to boys.

If the people of the Church are like Archbishop Adriana and the missionaries around him before, Ryan feels that the Church is extremely terrifying, and even doubts whether the Empire has benefited and supported the gods to drive the Church away.

But now, seeing the behavior of these Church personnel, he feels that the success of the Empire is not a miracle.

The defeat of the Church is inevitable.

Under the devout belief, countless termites who rely on the big tree of the Holy See are hatched. They are more noble than the nobles.

Did the war between the kingship and theocracy break out in such an environment?

From the small details, Ryan already understood that the initial war between the kingship and theocracy was the increase of the kingship's power and the corruption of theocracy.

The two ends of the scale became lighter on one side and heavier on the other, so there was balance and war.

Ryan had no interest in getting involved in the fight between the light and the dawn. It was enough to know the intelligence. The icy and snowy world of Birki was his main target this winter.

There was no smile on Count Furth's face. He suddenly became an ordinary person from a high-ranking earl. This sudden change in status made him much older. As an ancient noble, he could not bear such a result.

He suddenly regretted that as a noble, even if he died, he would die with the identity and pride of a noble, instead of living like this.

But looking at the silver-white figure riding on a war horse in the distance, facing the sun in front of the mighty army, Count Furth's courage just rising disappeared again.

He was not an excellent nobleman. If he had the qualities of a nobleman, he would have organized his army to attack Ryan instead of waiting until the next day to run into the War Bear Tribe crying.

But in his heart, he still wanted to be a noble, unyielding, and great nobleman like his ancestors.

So... after the army of the War Bear Tribe set out, the earl fell ill and could not get up.

There were also some other nobles who were sick. Like Count Furte, they could not accept the change in their status. Their unwillingness and self-proclaimed nobility consumed their bodies.

"Curse... This is the curse of the gods, the curse of the Night Spirit Continent on us traitors and wanderers..."

"We will all die with the ugliest faces and be buried in the darkest hell."

An elderly noble screamed on the bed, but helplessly dropped his arms in shock.

Ryan did not know the status of these former nobles. At this moment, he followed the army of the War Bear Tribe to attack the Crazy Bear Tribe.

That... city located halfway up the hillside.

"The war bear will break through the solid wall for us, and the fearless warriors will kill all the resistance. The noble war bear, the descendant of the great frost lord, will rule the declining world. The throne of Bilki is waiting in front of us."

Angelo, the leader of the war bear tribe, held the crown and chanted the ancient hymn, and then put the crown on his head.

Each of the three tribes has the confidence to think that they are orthodox.

The confidence of the war bear tribe is their surname and the crown in their hands.

The crown was blessed by the frost lord, but it has no extra meaning except for the symbol of status.

Bogeld is the flag bearer of the war bear tribe, and she is indeed the flag bearer. She holds a huge flag, which depicts an armored war bear driving thunder, roaring.

Three thousand soldiers, including slaves, are the army attacking the mad bear tribe, among which there are fifteen crossbow carts covered under animal skins.

The skins of the huge beasts in the forest world are so useful that one skin can cover a crossbow cart.

"Hurry up!"

"We have to reach the pine forest before dark!"

Angelo roared loudly. In the white world, the huge team was not marching fast.

The sunlight in the sky was getting thinner and thinner. The War Bear Tribe could not really reach the forest that was said to be full of pine trees, because the army of the Crazy Bear Tribe was waiting in that forest.

A pair of scary eyes saw in the pine forest that the sunlight could not fully illuminate, and then hundreds of wild white bears rushed out.

They were not domesticated white bears, but wild beasts in this world. I don’t know how the Crazy Bear Tribe gathered them together, and now they launched a charge towards the army of the War Bear Tribe.

"Something is wrong. The Crazy Bear Tribe does not have this ability."

"That was done by the Holy Domain Magician of the Crazy Bear Tribe."

Ryan said on the side. The Crazy Bear Tribe also had a Holy Domain Magician, who was the only two living Holy Domains left after wandering into this world.

It's not surprising that the potion can drive these beasts.

Even the fact that the Crazy Bear Tribe knew the marching route of the War Bear Tribe was also helped by the Holy Land magician.

"Have you completely become a part of the Crazy Bear Tribe?"

Ryan looked at the rushing white bear army, asked the soldiers behind him to make way, and then revealed the fifteen crossbow carts.

Since the Holy Land magician was involved, there was no way to hide this thing. When these white bears rush over, they would also be exposed.

"Shoot them!"

The fifteen three-meter-long and two-meter-wide giant crossbows were mobile war weapons made by the frozen land. Exposing their hideousness at this moment meant that there would be bloody killings.

One by one, the three-meter-long crossbow arrows passed through the low sky and sank into the body of the white bear. The latter rolled out a long blood trail under the huge inertia. After it was dazzling on the snow, there was no movement.

Bang bang!

The short swords hit the shields. The warriors of the War Bear Tribe had already gathered. Nearly two hundred armored bears roared, causing the charging white bear army to pause for a moment.

"Kill!"

With a shout from Bogerd, the army of the War Bear Tribe began to charge. The armored bears were at the front. They had all-round suppression power against these wild white bears.

With a shocking roar, Volibear slapped a white bear's head, causing it to see stars, and then bit the other's throat with his sharp teeth. The huge muscle power directly lifted the white bear up, and blood flowed on its snow-white hair. Then he threw the severely injured white bear out and hit another white bear.

With the armored war bears and war bear warriors blocking the front, the army of the War Bear Tribe did not suffer much loss. As time went on, the sky gradually darkened, leaving half of the bodies behind, and the remaining half of the white bears fled to the depths of the pine forest.

After the battle, many soldiers of the War Bear Tribe sat on the ground tiredly without caring about their image, but as soon as they sat down, a large number of soldiers of the Crazy Bear Tribe rushed out of the pine forest and launched an attack from behind the armored bears.

"Get up! Get ready for battle!"

Boggard stared at the front. The army of the Crazy Bear Tribe had appeared dozens of meters away. In just a few seconds, the armies of both sides fought again.

This time they were not facing the wild white bear, but the same enemy as them. The armored bear was blocked by the armored bear of the Crazy Bear Tribe, and the Crazy Bear Warriors also fought with the War Bear Warriors.

"How can you have such a powerful force?!"

A Crazy Bear Warrior was not careful and the beast head cloak on his head was cut by the dagger, and he looked at the War Bear Warrior in front of him in shock.

"We are the descendants of the great frost lord!"

The War Bear Warrior roared and smashed the shield at the opponent.

On the other side, Bogerd, who had already killed another Crazy Bear Warrior with great power, raised the dagger in his hand.

"Kill it!"

Ryan had fallen behind the battlefield, and his knight attendant did not participate in the battle. The previous gambling agreement stated that he was only helping the War Bear Tribe to unify, rather than completely tying the two sides together.

It can be sold at the right time, but not at the cost of losing too much of its own troops.

"The number should be about a thousand more."

Ryan roughly calculated the numbers on the battlefield. This knowledge was something he gradually became familiar with after commanding the army in the North Wind Province before.

"There are sanctuary mages helping them complete the logistics work outside the war. If this happens, the War Bear Tribe will lose."

At present, it seems that with the suppression of nearly two hundred War Bear warriors and the strength of Bogeld, the War Bear Tribe is in a balance, but in fact, the more time passes, the more the soldiers of the War Bear Tribe will lose.

The previous white bear charge was to consume the physical strength of the War Bear Tribe. White bears are strong, and every confrontation is a huge blow to the physical strength of these soldiers.

The sanctuary mages only helped from the side, which made the war much smoother, which also alerted Ryan.

"The War Bear Tribe cannot be wiped out here, otherwise the plan will be completely lost, Brand!"

Since the War Bear Tribe where Bogeld is located has been chosen, it will be very difficult for Ryan to start again from other tribes.

Five hundred cavalrymen trampled on the snow and galloped on the edge of the battlefield. Before everyone could react, they had appeared at the edge of the pine forest.

"Charge!"

The knight's sword was emitting a cold light in his hand, but the cavalrymen behind Brand drew out their three-meter-long lances and rushed towards the army of the Crazy Bear Tribe in front of them.

At any time, the oppression and impact brought by the cavalry were extreme. The iron hooves of the northern warhorses, which were as fast as the wind, were enough to trample all the enemies into meat paste.

Five hundred cavalrymen penetrated the rear of the Crazy Bear Tribe army without any hindrance, and penetrated this bloated army from left to right. After all, except for the few warriors who had contracted the armored bears, the remaining soldiers were just ordinary people who were a little stronger.

They could not fight against this cavalry army.

Blood and flesh watered the muddy snow behind the cavalry. In a short time, a group of people screaming and wailing and a group of people who could not scream appeared on the huge battlefield. The battlefield was in chaos under the iron hooves of the cavalry. At this moment, the army of the Crazy Bear Tribe tilted as if it had lost its center of gravity.

This is also the drawback of this world. No matter how big the war is, it is still a mess. Brand can easily see where their weak points are and where they can lead to the collapse of the entire army.

Just like now.

Most of the soldiers of the Crazy Bear Tribe need to start thinking about the retreat.

"Chase the remaining people into the forest!"

Brand looked at the pine forest. The pine forest is not a bad thing for cavalry, because the gaps between each tree are huge, and the ground is flat.

Cavalry can shuttle through it.

"Kill!"

Every cavalryman is shrouded in a layer of turbid evil spirit, and these soldiers hiding at the back of the Crazy Bear Tribe army are the weakest.

They are slaves and logistics. Only the bravest warriors can fight in the front, and the weakest will be squeezed to the back.

So, they are afraid, they flee, and their screams and wails begin to affect the army of the Crazy Bear Tribe on the front battlefield.

"Woo--"

A loud horn sounded from deep in the pine forest, and then the warriors of the Crazy Bear Tribe looked unwillingly at the warriors of the War Bear Tribe on the opposite side, and began to retreat towards the pine forest.

"Don't run! There are cavalry inside!"

A Crazy Bear warrior roared, gathering the surrounding soldiers together, using the armored bears as combat units, so that they would not have to worry too much about the sudden attack of the cavalry.

"Don't chase."

Angelo stopped Bogerd who wanted to rush out and looked at the soldiers behind him. Most of them had already exhausted all their physical strength and lay in the blood with pale faces. If it weren't for the heaving chests, they would have been thought to be a group of dead people.

"Damn mad bear, sooner or later I will kill them all!"

Bogerd was unwilling, but it would be useless for her to chase out alone.

At the same time, Brand in the pine forest also heard the sound of horns coming from deep inside and the voices of the mad bear tribe warriors fleeing from behind.

"Centurion Boll!"

A bearded cavalryman responded behind Brand:

"General."

"Take your men back to the baron, I'll go see if there are any more people in the deep forest."

After saying that, Brand swung the reins and the warhorse stomped towards the depths of the forest.
