Throne of the North

"Bang!"

Ka'an hammered the table. Unfortunately, he was not extraordinary and could not do anything to the solid wood table. However, his anger would not be diminished by such a scene. The servants around him were trembling and kneeling on the ground, lowering their heads and not daring to do anything. action.

"This damn Baron Lane."

One million gold coins were handed over to Ryan, which made Ka'an extremely sad. A part of this huge wealth should have belonged to him, but now it is all gone.

He is always so angry when alone, but he is not a person who yells. His aristocratic self-cultivation is fully demonstrated in him. Even at this moment, some maids are obsessed with Ka'an's emotions. Let the other person explore the great mysteries of life in themselves.

After a long time, Ka'an calmed down and showed the wisdom of a noble.

"How could Chrysos want to control Beifeng Province by buying off Ryan? He made a mistake in his judgment. I can see that there is ambition like a great nobleman in Ryan's eyes."

"If it weren't for me, I would have lost not just one million gold coins, but 1.5 million gold coins."

"If the Clayton family hadn't tried their best to become the fifth Grand Duke these years, I'm afraid they would have tried every means to turn Baron Lane into Earl Lane."

"The prestige of killing the orc king..."

Ka'an was still thinking when he heard the servant's voice.

Not long after, Ka'an appeared in his study room. There was already another handsome middle-aged man here. The other person was flipping through the books that Ka'an brought. His elegant gray hair with faint blue hair represented the other person's love in Mei. A noble status among the bloodline of Yes.

"Crysus, why are you here so soon?"

"Uncle, this is my father's test for me. Of course I will come."

Chrysos Meyers, the Grand Duke's successor, it was his suggestion that made the nobles understand that the Meyers family was involved with the elector Volvo Columbus.

"I can solve it here."

Ka'an looked at Chrysos, and he thought this was the future Grand Duke's distrust of his abilities.

"Don't worry, uncle. I won't doubt your loyalty. It's just that you can't bear the anger of Count Pascal when it comes to light faith."

"Count Pascal is in the North Wind Province?"

Kaan was shocked, but the next moment he knew he had said the wrong thing.

Fortunately, Chrysos knew his uncle better than Kaan, so he smiled and did not blame him.

"Look, uncle, I said that one million gold coins is not enough. Although you have entered the North Wind Province, the nobles still trust Baron Lane more. They will not even tell you that Earl Pascal has appeared in that palace. Within the wonder.”

"Those damn guys!"

Ka'an was a little angry that he didn't know about this.

"It's just... why did Count Pascal come in person?"

When Ka'an said this, he was still a little afraid. Any of the great nobles in the empire was not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially those ancient nobles. They were originally the founders of the empire, witnessing the rise and fall of the sun and enjoying it. It shines brightly from dawn to dusk, and exudes dazzling light in the eternal night.

The pen that writes history is in their hands, and they also hold the sword that can kill anyone.

Ka'an is a member of the Meyers family, but he is not a Grand Duke, and his status is far from that of Count Pascal.

"He accepted His Majesty's order, just like Farrell, the newly emerged winged commander of the empire, for the future of Flor."

Chrysos' words made Ka'an frown, and he was so weak that he started to sweat.

He was here for Flower's future, so Meyers' position seemed shaky.

"His Majesty the Emperor can become the noble emperor of the empire, and his methods are certainly not comparable to ours."

"But it doesn't matter. This matter will not affect His Highness Volvo."

“Let’s send His Highness Volvo away first.”

Chrysos sighed and said that if Volvo had not been involved in the battle in the North Wind Province, he would not have wanted to come to this cold place. Meyers also needed the power of the Emperor Chosen.

The next day, Ryan also learned about the arrival of Meyers' successor in the Northwind Province. He was surprised, but felt that it was reasonable.

"Besides the Grand Duke, the only one who can command Ka'an is the future Grand Duke."

With the arrival of Chrysos, one matter in the Northwind Province was quickly resolved, and that was the issue of iron ore needed to rebuild the West Sea Fleet.

Rebuilding the maritime fleet certainly requires more than just metal. After Volvo solves the problem here, it needs to rush to the next place.

As for how Chrysos helped Volvo, it was also very simple. The emperor promised to give Meyers the tax revenue from Beifong Province for the next thirty years.

Chrysos, on the other hand, reduced the taxes of the nobles of North Wind Province for the next five years.

It was that simple, and the nobles agreed, including Ryan.

"This land has experienced a tragic war, and the light has saved the people on the land."

Chrysos did not cancel the tax imposed by the Light on the nobles. This was not something he could decide. However, the arrival of Count Pascal made the nobles need to put more faith in the Light.

Emperor Flor wanted to move the last thing he missed in Beifeng Province, the bright wonder and the bright faith that belonged to this land. This process required huge financial and material resources.

Count Pascal will pay the bulk, but the rest is still huge.

Because——

"He wants to make the whole wonder fly?"

Ryan opened his eyes wide and his breathing became rapid. He never thought it would be so simple and crude.

But it is true that nothing is more shocking than this way.

It's just that the wonder was proposed by Ryan at the beginning. He knew very well that the wonder was actually a noble park with beautiful scenery that did not belong to the cold north. Because it was not confused with dust, it was dazzling and was called a wonder.

Strictly speaking, it is a park with a wall like a fortress. It is huge and belongs to this land.

Let the wonder fly...

"In the extraordinary world, are the thoughts so wild?"

To achieve this step, first of all, a large number of magicians and a large number of magic arrays are needed.

Floating stones are indispensable, and only magicians can make such man-made miracles appear.

"What's going on?"

Just when Ryan was trying his best to avoid getting involved, the people from the Eastern Kingdom of Sera once again made Ryan feel overwhelmed.

The war between the six royal courts and the empire was over. The empire had turned back, and the Church also inherited the previous anger.

The defeat of the Andara Kingdom, especially the heavy losses of the Yulong Legion, caused the Church to suffer huge losses, but the Church could not retreat. They were challenged, and taking a step back would be a bottomless abyss. Countless nobles in the southern land would begin to think about whether to join the Empire or the Church.

The Andara Kingdom has become the first to eat crabs, and the Church does not allow the second one to appear, and even the first one must be suppressed.

So, friction occurred.

Because the war between the Andara Kingdom and the Horror Rhino Beastmen is still going on, in the face of the racial justice between humans and orcs, the Church does not dare to add insult to injury too openly.

But it does not mean that the Church has no other way. You must know that even if there is no relationship between the Church and the Empire, there are irreconcilable grievances between the Kingdom of Serra and the Kingdom of Andara.

For the Kingdom of Andara, the royal family of the Kingdom of Serra, McReynolds, is a traitor who betrayed the monarch.

Similarly, the nobles of the Kingdom of Serra will definitely fight against the Kingdom of Andara, because only in this way can they prove that they are victorious and just.

The Kingdom of Andara is also a betrayal of McReynolds, and the lord's absolute ownership of the territory was destroyed by the Kingdom of Andara.

This last one is actually the reason why many nobles in the southern land did not carry out large-scale exclusion of the Serra royal family. With the help of the Church, the nobles sympathized with McReynolds. He almost lost his territory because of the king.

The kingdom belongs to the king, and the territory belongs to the noble lord. In the law of the noble territory, it is sacred and inviolable.

When the Church was at its peak, the gods were qualified to deprive the nobles of their status and power over the land. After the rise of the empire, the nobles showed their attitude of having eternal power over their land.

In short, the arrival of the people of the Kingdom of Sera was to inform him, the great noble in the Kingdom of Sera, about the kingdom's plan according to the rules.

For various reasons, there are considerable contradictions between the nobles of the Kingdom of Sera and the nobles of the Kingdom of Andara, and this contradiction is erupting under the instigation of the Church.

War, no, it is border friction, is happening.

For the Kingdom of Sera and the Kingdom of Andara, this is for the interests of the two kingdoms, and for the Church, it is to use this matter to target the Flor Empire.

Finally, for Ryan...

"There are too many things."

"So many things that can cause unrest in the world have come together. The outcome of any one of them may cause a war in the south."

"Can these guys at the pinnacle of power really control it?"

In his study, Ryan wrote down all his experiences during this period.

The first thing is the noble territories of the North Wind Province and the hundreds of thousands of orcs who still remain on the land inside the province.

The second thing is Meyers and the North Wind Province, he Ryan and the nobles of the North Wind Province.

The third thing is Meyers and the Emperor Volvo, Emperor Flor and Count Pascal and the faith of light.

The fourth thing is the Kingdom of Andara and the Kingdom of Serra.

The fifth thing is theocracy and royal power, the empire and the church.

The five things are five huge spider webs, some big and some small, and Ryan tries to find his own place in them.

But it is not just these five things. These things are all major events in his circle. Under these five big networks, there is also Ryan's own small network, politics, economy, and military.

Colluding with nobles, forming gangs, it is not nice to say but it is true; developing the North Chamber of Commerce, the expansion of the North Brave Guild; and most importantly, the development and growth of the frozen land, the training of the army, the construction of the fortress defense line, and the planned establishment of the North Great Wall.

Internal and external work intertwined into his world, Ryan, these big networks are no longer flat, but twisted and three-dimensional, forming a huge ball that surrounds him.

If he was just an ordinary person, he would probably suffocate if he didn't have great talent.

Fortunately, he is not ordinary.

"No one can destroy my interests..."

In the study, the flame on Ryan's hand burned the writing to ashes. Some things were written down in a small notebook, while others could only be buried deep in his heart.

"Let's peel off the cocoons and solve them one by one."

The huge number of orcs in the province are specially left to deal with the outside world and cannot be cleared away in a short time.

Ryan now knows nothing about the Meyers family's purpose in this land. Before knowing, Ryan can't find a direction to attack Meyers.

In Ryan's view, the matter between the Emperor Chosen and Emperor Flor involves a struggle for that position. According to the historical experience and lessons he has learned, there is not much benefit in getting involved, at least for now. He can't handle it even with his weight.

Regarding divine power and royal power, Ryan now has no choice but to go with the flow and quietly watch the flow of the world.

“When you can’t find a direction, use the elimination method to eliminate the most difficult options.”

"There will always be one answer left."

Ryan's eyes once again looked at the two kingdoms to the east of the North Wind Province.

His eyes seemed to become clearer, and it didn't make much sense to cling to the connection between the nobles and him, Ryan. The key was how many nobles took the initiative to approach.

This requires Ryan to activate his charm attributes.

"It's a pity that spirituality cannot be added directly."

Spirituality cannot directly add points, but spirituality can bring a firm belief like a god.

Ryan plans to intervene in the internal affairs of the kingdom. He has this identity, but he will not take action from within the kingdom. Just like at this moment, Ryan needs to start from the kingdom if he wants to get rid of the big net dropped by the empire. Looking from the outside of the overall situation, It is the most far-sighted vision.

"Which direction to start from?"

Ryan murmured, and then watched the study door open, and the Viscountess led Appia in, placing the news returned by Beard in front of him.

…

Ordinary people have no idea that Beifeng Province has been shaken again and again in just a few days. They can't see such high places, and they have no way of knowing that the only ceiling they can touch is the one that caused most of the The Eight Knights of Northwind.

After all, they are still in the heat of life in the water. The nobles are the first to feel the threat, but equally, the nobles are also the first to stay away from the threat.

The pressure brought by the orcs has fallen on the knights, civilians and slaves. The nobles can even stay in Lingdu City to hold banquets, singing, laughing and dancing again and again.

The story of the Eight Knights spread far and wide as the bards of the Northern Chamber of Commerce traveled. Many people even witnessed the appearance of the Eight Knights, which added countless colors of expectation to the story.

Lien, the Ash Knight, was not exposed too much in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was well known in the circle of nobles. Baron Hatton made a big splash, showing off his bloodline in a swaggering way, which made many nobles grit their teeth.

The world is a huge pyramid. When the nobles gnashed their teeth, the pressure fell on the followers behind the nobles. The blood of those nobles were gearing up one by one.

"He Lien can do it, why can't we?"

Young people are passionate, and what boils in their blood is their ambition for the future. Most people are not willing to be moths, or in other words, the moths produced by the conditions they can get now are too low-grade, and they want to be higher-level moths.

Therefore, as the nobles began to leave Lingdu City and return to their own territory, more noble blood began to rush to Lingdu City in the opposite direction.

"Ryan, you are right, that city can bring us unimaginable wealth."

In the Tundra Territory, Ryan and Farrell clinked wine glasses. Next to them, Avril sat with a gentle woman, laughing and talking.

"Otis Brooks has led the army to the royal city of King Andara. Today should be the time for the king to receive him and then the army heads to the northern castle defense line."

Farrell felt a lot more relaxed. After becoming the commander of Flying Wing Canyon, he didn't have much to do. His legendary status and status as commander made him more of a mascot than a mascot when the war didn't come.

But Ryan's next words made Farrell less relaxed.

"How's your idea of ​​getting a title and land going?"
