Throne of the North

The powerful bodies collided on the arena, the long swords caused sparks from friction, and the armor was full of scars. This fight was closely watched by the entire Lingdu City, and even several nobles appeared, bringing huge benefits to Ryan. .

Every consumption is impulsive, and what kind of environment will lead to impulsive consumption? That is at this moment, watching those knights fighting with passion, many people can't help but participate and become a part of this event. In this way, at least for a short period of time, they will be the ones who attract the most attention when walking in the streets.

Under the witness of Ryan, the last eight knights also competed, but at this time, the Northern Brave Guild told everyone that the battle would not continue.

"In three consecutive days of fighting, more than a hundred people have been injured on this arena. They should have been injured on the battlefield, but they fell here."

"We cannot guarantee that the last eight powerful knights will survive. If any one of them dies in the arena, it will be a loss to Lingdu City and the nobles."

Ryan didn't want the nobles to lose a knight they had trained for many years because of such a death. The winner was certainly happy, but the loser had to bear a heavy price.

"The Northern Brave Guild was originally born to explore the vast north. That place covered by ice and snow has countless wealth. Everyone who returns alive is a human brave."

"They should not be the enemies of humans, the enemies of the brave, they can only be evil orcs and dragons!"

"So, among the last eight knights, who is the most powerful among them?"

"That is - the knight who can kill the most orcs!"

The bard's roar made the entire Lingdu City boil. Although the knights' battle with each other was exciting, it was limited to this moment and here.

Now, all people in all the territories in Beifeng Province, including those in Lingdu City, need to leave the city in their daily lives.

They were all attacked by orcs.

Their hatred for the orcs made them accept the decision of the Northern Brave Guild, because the bard also mentioned in the next words that the knights cannot return to their territory.

"The eight knights will go to the eight directions of Lingdu City, anywhere, to kill the orcs alone. They will return here in half a month and kill all the orcs. The knight will get the Northern Territory Horse. War horse!"

The bard looked at the eight knights.

"You are knights. The moment you became a knight, you swore an oath. Now I want to ask you to swear on your knightly dignity again. You will defeat the orcs alone and save humans and water from the heat."

"You will become the heroes of many people. The most powerful one will be able to obtain the war horse, but the remaining seven knights are still worthy of praise. The Northern Brave Guild will treat you because of the number of orcs you kill. Rewards with gold coins.”

"What are our rules?!"

The bard turned around and suddenly roared loudly.

"One orc, one gold coin!"

"This is the first rule of the Northern Brave Guild. It overrides all rules. If you kill an orc, the brave will get a gold coin!"

No one is an exception, and no one can disobey the rules of the brave.

The bard looked at the Ryan couple on the high platform. Ryan nodded. The next moment, the people from the Northern Brave Guild moved out ten large wooden boxes.

Wow~! !

Golden gold coins were scattered all over the floor, and tens of thousands of gold coins were piled up in disorder on the arena where the blood stains had not yet been cleaned. Not only the people of Lingdu City were breathing rapidly, but also the several nobles invited by Ryan. Red eyes.

Who can resist the temptation of gold coins? Even the dragon can't do it.

The bard bent down and grabbed a handful of gold coins. He was also trembling, but as a bard, he was even more passionate about poetry and distant stories. This was their belief.

"These gold coins will eventually belong to you. Defeat the evil orcs and come back alive to take away the gold coins that belong to you."

Eight bards also came out. They will follow the knights and use their own eyes to write the stories of the eight knights and record their experiences.

Following the direction, the eight knights rode on their war horses and rushed out of Lingdu City. They were extremely excited. This was not only an opportunity to get their own war horses, but also a chance to become famous and become something more. A chance for a powerful knight.

The knights are not mud-legged slaves to the common people. They know very well what opportunities this dispute provides them. They understand.

So they got excited.

"With eight people, at least four can come back alive, right?"

Ryan believed in human greed and the fighting power of the orcs. None of these eight knights were powerful, and only two of them were bronze.

"Now, we have to wait for half a month."

Ryan said with a smile. He had already seen that many people in the crowd had reacted. The bard just said something, the only rule of the Northern Brave Guild.

Orcs are equal to gold coins.

Sure enough, that afternoon, someone rushed out of Lingdu City and came back with a bloody orc head.

"Even if the orcs were not killed in the north, can they still be exchanged?"

"Logically speaking, it's impossible, because there are also orc slaves in the human world, but it's different now. The orcs in Beifeng Province originally came from the north."

"So - it can be changed!"

The bard handed a gold coin to the man wearing tattered armor and a rotten dagger, and suggested:

"If you still want to go out hunting, I hope you can change the equipment on your body and use them to kill orcs. It's not easy, right?"

"If the wounds on your body are not treated, you will be infected with the disease. I think it requires at least ten silver coins to be treated. In fact, you will only earn less than ten silver coins for such a gold coin, because you still need time, and you need a lot of time." It’s difficult to work.”

The man hesitated, but the bard was right. During this hunting, he sneak attacked a wild boar man, but the sneak attack also almost killed him.

"But good weapons and equipment are expensive."

"The internal trading market of the Northern Brave Guild can give registered adventurers a 50% discount. Of course, the premise of all this is that you still plan to hunt in this way. If you plan to stop, you don't need to do this. Okay, ten silver coins are enough for your family to live a good life for a while, right?"

The man gritted his teeth, ran out, and quickly came back with dozens of silver coins.

"I want to buy a good dagger!"

Weapons can be passed down from family to family, and this time the man went out and discovered that orcs are not that scary.

The price of a gold coin gave him a taste of the sweetness.

"I don't charge money here, you have to go inside, but don't worry, Master Brock is the chief blacksmith of the Tundra Territory. All weapons and armor must be reviewed by him. The bad ones have been refurbished long ago and are not qualified at all. Show up outside."

Hearing the bard mention Master Bullock, the man felt relieved. Bullock has now become a brand. Because of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone in Lingdu City knows that this master has forged a legendary long sword and can become a Something that is a national treasure of the kingdom.

The things he has reviewed are definitely not fake.

…

Ryan also has his own residence in Lingdu City. After the competition on the arena ended, Ryan also invited several nobles who came to Lingdu City to hold a small gathering.

"Mr. Hatton, you actually let Lien out."

Ryan smiled and said to Hatton, among the eight knights, one of them was Lien.

"That brat!"

Hatton was furious as he spoke, but at the same time he raised his head and was very proud.

"If he insists on participating, this kid will become more and more difficult to control as he grows up."

"Hahaha, Baron Hatton, how many people envy you for having such a son."

Viscount Miles came over. Any nobleman who came to Lingdu City could not avoid Viscount Miles who lived in the city.

"Mr. Viscount looks good recently. Isn't this winter so scary?"

"Winter is still terrible, but I bought a firefox velvet from the Southern Kingdom from the Empire Chamber of Commerce, so I don't have to be afraid of winter anymore."

Viscount Christian Myers said.

Ryan turned his head and saw the red fluff deliberately exposed under the other person's clothes.

"This is a good thing. It seems that you have recovered from the compensation to the nobles."

The Myers family has been very poor for a while, and the most fundamental reason lies in the fact that old Viscount Myers killed Viscount Dragon.

The Miles family had to pay a huge price to appease the anger of the nobles.

"I didn't lie to you at first, Christian. The Viscount Miles family will get better and better in your hands."

"Of course, Baron Lane, I always remember our friendship."

Viscount Miles said with a smile. After eating steamed buns for several years and now starting to eat meat, he finally became more energetic.

The prosperity of Lingdu City heralds the prosperity of the Miles family, and currently it seems that Lingdu City will continue to prosper, at least for a long time.

The Miles family would move to a higher place in his era.

"Although you have money, you can't give up your interests. There are some things that money can't buy."

Ryan said this, his voice was calm, but it made the nobles quiet down.

"As for the land and mine profits, you should not give up. Although Beifeng Province has endless iron ore, soon His Majesty the Emperor will order to recruit the iron ore from Beifeng Province and purchase it at a very low price. The iron ore here is used to rebuild the West Sea Fleet."

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"We all suffer."

"Is there such a thing?"

Several nobles looked at Ryan in shock, and Baron Kendra was a little unwilling.

"Your Majesty cannot take away our iron ore easily."

"Of course he will pay you, but the problem is, it's just the remuneration for the iron ore, the manpower and material resources required are all borne by ourselves."

"Does rebuilding the West Sea Fleet require so much iron ore?"

"Of course, and I'm afraid it's not just the West Sea Fleet. Our Emperor-Elector, His Highness, will definitely get his own part from it."

"The war between the Holy See and the Empire ended because of the orcs, but it does not mean that the nobles will forget that war. This is a wake-up call."

"There will be a new round of arms race on Norris Continent, and the value of iron ore will rise again."

"So...we lost more."

After hearing this, several nobles couldn't help but feel toothache.

"This is too bullying, Baron Lane. Perhaps we should reject the Emperor's low-price offer."

Ryan didn't speak, but Baron Hatton was already shaking his head.

His sense of politics remains as sharp as ever.

"It's impossible. The nobles in Beifeng Province are now fighting for land. They want their heirs to inherit those lands. This matter is very troublesome. It has been more than a month now and not a single noble has succeeded."

"The nobles need to compromise with the emperor. In the end, the emperor's order may be needed to allow those bloodlines to truly inherit the land."

"So, this low-price proposal will definitely pass."

"Damn it! That's the land of the nobles, why did they occupy it so easily?"

"Those nobles are dead, and everyone in the family died in the war. They were not even able to send their children to the south."

"The people who occupy those lands will also be nobles. This is the bottom line. And the most important thing is that even if it is not occupied by nobles from Beifeng Province, it will be used by the emperor to make deals with wandering nobles and the heirs of big nobles in exchange for their support.”

"The land must not be abandoned. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the nobles themselves for letting the entire family be wiped out in the war."

In fact, the nobles themselves cannot be entirely blamed for this matter.

If the nobles of Beifeng Province want to send their heirs to the south for refuge, there is a very important and key factor, that is, they also have a certain confidence in the south.

In the past two years, the nobles of the North Wind Province have been keen on marrying with the nobles of the south, just to connect their spider webs to the south, and it is best to obtain something through this.

That is the way out, and this step is something that many local nobles in Beifeng Province have not been able to do.

In a year or two, they have not completely finished weaving the spider web.

Another important reason is that all the nobles who were wiped out in this war were actually nobles from this land. They did not carry the North Wind Province from the south.

Those noble territories heading north would never be so close to the orcs. Even Baron Hatton's territory was strictly chosen because it was far enough away from the Xiangshan Plain. And this was already after the war ended more than thirty years ago. The worst choice for nobles heading north.

The more obvious ones are nobles such as Yinchuan County and Viscount Hogg. They are not nobles who have been rooted in the land of Beifeng Province for hundreds of years, but they occupy the land that can best grow food.

This is brought about by war, so naturally, those lands that are too close to the north, close to the orcs, are the choices of the losers.

Thirty years ago, they failed and chose the orcs who would invade their land first. This failure continued thirty years later, and they completely lost everything.

"Northwind Province will not decide on the ownership of the land so quickly. It may take several years or decades to complete the planning of those lands, but we need to be prepared."

"Not just a few of us, all the nobles in Beifeng Province are among us."

Ryan Tu said as if he had seen it.

"The Emperor's orders are not the most important. Meyers will rule the North Wind Province for the next thirty years, and they will squeeze every last drop of wealth from us."

"I don't want the war I worked so hard to win and the Northwind Province I protected to be riddled with holes because of Meyers."

Ryan's eyes were cold and his voice was cold. Next to him, Viscount Miles wrapped himself in clothes. He had obviously bought the best to keep warm, but he felt extremely cold at this moment.

After lying on five million gold coins for more than half a month, how could Ryan be immersed in the joy of wealth all the time.

The generosity Meyers gave was undeserved, unless they could gain more, more wealth than five million.

Although the help Meyers gave to the Northwind Province during the war with the Silver Moon Court, especially the appearance of the legendary demon hunter Rosalind, was huge, but now that the war is over, Ryan instinctively feels that they have already reached the conclusion of the war with Mayes. Yes became an enemy.

When the war began, they were their closest allies. When the war ended, the demands for interests turned both sides into enemies.

It's just that the orcs are still raging, and Meyers hasn't done anything, so nothing is shown.

Boil a frog in warm water. If the frog cannot react, it will really die.

Ryan needs to be that alert.

Among them, the most important thing is the division of those lands.

If the dust finally settles and Meyers is not involved, it means that their purpose is far more than that simple.

That would be even scarier.

Ryan did not say this conjecture out loud, because just a few words he said already made the nobles uneasy.

"What would Meyers do?"

When it comes to wealth, Viscount Miles is extremely nervous.

"I don't know, we'll see."

Ryan finally said that after a short exchange, he had determined that these nobles would not stand against him in future major events, and then laughed.

"Why don't we take a bet first on whether Lien can win the war horse?"
