Throne of the North

Ryan suddenly had an idea. He had previously thought about how to control the power of the Kingdom of Andara, or in other words, his influence and interests in this land.

It is difficult to achieve this from the military and political aspects, because he is a nobleman of the empire, not a nobleman of the kingdom, and cannot truly act as an independent king, holding the emperor's hand to order the princes.

In terms of economy, it is born from the land and is most vulnerable on this road.

Therefore, it seems somewhat helpless.

But now Ryan seems to have found the answer.

This world is not only pure human civilization, but also has alien races, gods, beliefs, and in short, extraordinary things.

This is the fourth element of human civilization.

If you can't do it in other ways, what about being extraordinary?

Ryan saw the arrival of the dragon, and the royal city was trembling. The dragon could be a dragon, but the dragon could also be something else.

Ryan approached the palace where Daryl was, and he could actually feel the other person's presence.

It was like... an endless space, endless darkness, but suddenly this dark world broke into a star, which was sensed by Ryan.

"He is in very bad condition and could die at any time."

"Human beings' will has allowed them to defeat many giant dragons. The same is true for him. His strong willpower has allowed him to maintain his sanity."

The dragon raised its head, its breath in its throat.

"Killing him is the best outcome. He can no longer suffer."

"I can feel that there is still a gap between him and those humans who defeated the dragon. He cannot withstand the erosion of the two great origins. They are fighting for victory, and he will be defeated at any time and become a legendary monster. ”

"At that time, even I couldn't kill him easily. This man was different from the trash before."

"Wait a little longer."

Ryan stopped Areris. He was waiting, not waiting to see if Daryl could resist, but waiting for his own choice.

He looked at his spiritual panel, at the bottom of which was spirituality, spiritual blessings, and divinity, the giant mammoth ranked behind the eternal divinity.

This divinity comes from the world of Garm and Fenrir, and the means brought by Earl Clayton that Ryan gained during the God-killing War.

A sacrifice was made, and Surtur was asked to fetch water from a bamboo basket, while Ryan harvested everything.

The divinity of the giant mammoth is one of the gains, but the strange thing is that it does not use [Tai Su] as a unit like other divinities. The only thing Ryan can feel is completeness.

The complete [Giant Mammoth].

"You said that as long as all the media is broken, Hobiy will not be able to look at this place?"

"He should be the last one, if there are no other corpses under those cemeteries."

The dragon did not answer, but spread its wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the distance. Soon, the dragon's roar came from the cemeteries outside the royal city. When it returned again, Areris gave Ryan the answer.

"There are no other descendants of the evil god, but it's useless. There are still many descendants of Hobi Yi in the north. Those damn goblins will not stop Ho Bi Yi from watching the world."

“Those who belong to the north shall return to the north, and those who belong to the kingdom shall return to the kingdom.”

Ryan said, then thought uncertainly.

"So, in a sense, Daryl's existence has affected the survival of the kingdom and the course of history. If he dies, the future will be one way. If he lives, the future will be another way."

"He was a turning point in history."

"And it just so happens that he is still at the top of the Saint Realm."

"The elements are complete."

Ryan said, reaching out his hand and pressing it between Daryl's eyebrows.

boom!

The terrifying knight's strength pushed Ryan away, and Daryl struggled, instinctively speaking of the knight's honor.

"I will defend the glory of Andara to the death, its sunset and morning light, and practice the glory of Andara's protection."

"Help me control him."

The dragon didn't know why, and froze Daryl with one breath. This power would not be gathered much. Over time, Daryl would be frozen and die, and would be assimilated into ice like the legendary ghoul before.

From the dragon's point of view, killing Daryl would cut off Hobiyi's medium, thereby preventing Hobiyi from becoming more powerful and leaving Hobiyi without more energy to invest in the land of dragon bones in the north. What it wants to guard is the bones of the Dragon Emperor.

This is also the reason why the dragon followed Ryan here.

Ryan's palm pressed between Daryl's eyebrows through the ice. He couldn't bless him through the air, but with such a solid medium, it didn't seem too difficult.

The divinity began to flow away, sinking from Ryan's hand into Daryl's body. As the air became heavy, the dragon Areris raised his head and looked around in surprise.

Gradually, the dragon became restless. It spread its wings and soared in the sky, searching for strange threats around it.

Ryan also took a few steps back, but he did not feel threatened. Instead, he felt that the world around him had become friendly.

Click~!

A sound of ice cracking caught his attention, and his eyes were fixed on the ice in front of him. The ice seal left by the dragon was breaking until a certain moment.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

The ground trembled, the entire palace, no, the entire royal city was crumbling, and many houses that were not built to the standard collapsed directly.

Daryl in front of Ryan opened his eyes in an instant, his eyes filled with ancient wisdom and majesty, then raised his head, and the roar from his throat alerted the dragon's attention.

"What did you do to him?"

The dragon fell, but did not get close to Ryan. It felt threatened by Daryl.

"It gave him hope."

As Daryl roared, the air became as heavy as metal. This was also the reason why the dragon was unwilling to get close, because if it got too close, it would feel that flying was very troublesome.

In the transparent air, the sunlight was refracted. With the refraction of the sunlight, a blurry outline appeared in the eyes of countless people.

It was ice and snow, no, it was the ice and snow in the north that was reflected in the sky of the royal city like a mirage, and in this world, a huge mammoth that brought unparalleled shock to the ground slowly walked towards it.

It overlapped with Daryl's figure.

So, Daryl stretched out his hands, and the giant mammoth stood up and grabbed Daryl's body.

The pitch black darkness was captured by the giant mammoth, and then the giant mammoth roared. The terrifying power made Daryl spread his arms, and the darkness in front of him was directly torn apart.

"ah--"

Daryl roared, and this time it was no longer a savage roar, but a human voice.

He fell from the sky and knelt on one knee on the ground, panting heavily. The muscles on his naked body were tangled, and the palms pressing on the ground continued to provide him with the power of the earth.

When he stood up, the place where his palms were pressed turned into ice. Around him, white frost covered the soil and weeds.

A piece of clothing was thrown over, and Daryl's somewhat dazed eyes began to focus, and he saw Ryan in front of him.

Ryan looked at his spirituality panel. What surprised him was that in the divinity column, the entry for [Giant Mammoth] did not disappear, but became gray and white and transparent, as if it would disappear at any time.

"Is this...also a blessing?"

Ryan was shocked. He had given Farrell the legendary blessing of violent elephants before, but it did not belong to him. It was the legendary gift that Farrell had caused in that war, but it was intercepted by Ryan. He He just became a middleman. In essence, the legendary blessing belonged to Farrell.

But this time is different. Daryl, who has two great powers in his body as a battlefield, cannot attract the legendary blessing even if he is qualified, because his body and soul simply do not allow him to withstand the third terrible power. power.

Ryan gives proactively and everything follows his will.

Ryan didn't expect this thing to be so powerful.

"Sacred Bone Potion, this kind of blessing, isn't it similar to the Divine Bone Potion?"

Ryan thought, then shook his head.

"More powerful than the Divine Bone Potion."

Ryan lost the divine bone potion, but found the power with the same effect, which was his own.

"Thank you for your blessing, my lord."

Daryl looked at Ryan, holding his fist on his chest and performing knightly etiquette. He didn't know what to call Ryan now, but he knew very well what happened just now.

"How about the legendary power?"

Ryan asked, and Daryl felt the next answer:

"Well, there's never been a better time than now."

Ryan didn't say much. This was not a transaction. If it were to be explained by a transaction, it would be now until death.

…

In the royal city, there is a sense of being in a different world, where everything is in a trance.

Army soldiers ran through the streets and gathered all the corpses.

"Hurry up, burn them all, no bones are allowed to be left!"

"Spread the ashes in the cemetery!"

There was a lot of movement in the royal city, and at the location of the royal palace, the royal family, the king, and a few nobles such as Ryan were waiting for the arrival of the army from outside.

"Didn't you say there is a corpse? Why are they missing?"

Grand Duke Leta is a mature young man, and he deserves this maturity. The Leta family ushered in glory in his hands, and by his side, the legendary ghost warrior Allah Leta followed closely.

"The royal family is naturally capable of expelling the belief in evil gods. The Kingdom of Andala has always been a believer in light."

King Adams once again regained his majesty as a king. If Ryan hadn't seen him hiding behind the seat, he might have felt that this kid had changed.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Grand Duke Leta looked a little surprised, and then praised:

"Your Majesty is the noble king of the Kingdom of Andara, and even the evil gods cannot get close to you."

"I just don't know...why you called me here."

It was Ryan who answered him. He nodded to Grand Duke Leta, and Ryan said:

"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, Your Majesty invited you here to discuss the war between the orcs in the north. Perhaps you don't know that the rhinoceros orcs have broken through the castle defense line."

"Breakthrough?"

Grand Duke Leta was surprised.

"Isn't there a coalition of imperial troops and nobles there? How could it be..."

He looked at Ryan and recognized him.

"It's you, my sister's love..."

He knew he had said the wrong thing and shouldn't have said it here. Lottie Letta was the previous queen.

"Mr. Baron Lane, how could the northern defense line be defeated?"

Ryan was also angry about this issue. Adams dared to stop the food supply in the north at this time, and also transferred a group of troops back to the royal city to fight against the corpses.

Now that the orcs have not reached the foot of the royal city, Otis Brooks has the ability to cut off the orc army from the middle, making it impossible for the orcs to continue going south.

But the problem is that it is being attacked from both sides.

"The Rhinoceros seem to be stronger than imagined."

Ryan could only say this, while Grand Duke Leta looked at the king and Earl Merces.

"Earl Lane is now the earl of the Kingdom of Andara. He will serve as the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's army and be responsible for war matters."

It was Earl Merces who spoke. His influence on King Adams was still very profound. After all, he was the first nobleman to firmly support him.

Ryan and Merces looked at each other and had already reached a consensus. Merces did not stand up when the war started. After Ryan arrived, he had no intention of getting involved in the power of the army.

Lane did not hold him accountable, and Count Merces also gave Lane a reward for his kindness.

"I am a fiefdom noble of the empire. Without His Majesty the Emperor's order, I am not suitable to appear on the battlefield of the kingdom, but Grand Duke Leta is very suitable."

"Fighting the North is not just a matter of one person. If Grand Duke Leta can help the nobles stop the orcs in the north, I think the nobles will be very grateful to you."

Grand Duke Leta also raised his eyebrows. There were not many qualified nobles in the entire Kingdom of Andara, and even fewer with strong wisdom. He understood what Ryan meant, smiled at him, and then knelt on one knee before the king. In front of him, his palms were pressed against his chest.

"Your Majesty, the Leta family will be at your command."

"Okay, okay."

Adams was quite happy. Ryan's proposal was indeed no problem. The Leta family came and asked him to go north to fight against the orcs. He would not refuse the king's order.

Laidu has arrived, and the army brought by Grand Duke Leta directly crossed the royal city and went to the northern battlefield to join forces with Otis Brooks to fight against the Rhinoceros.

He was not here to support the royal family, which shocked the nobles.

"The mark of the evil god left by Hernan has been completely removed. The royal family members suffered heavy casualties and were slandered as monsters. From beginning to end, there was only one monster, and that was Hernan. His followers launched a final resistance, but The majesty of King Andala prevents them from trampling on the kingdom’s land!”

The nobles suddenly realized that this was the case. It felt different from what they had heard. However, no matter what, the royal family seemed to be still strong, so the nobles put away some small thoughts.

The dust had not yet settled. Shortly after Grand Duke Leta led the army to leave the Royal City, the imperial mission also arrived at the Royal City.

"Dear His Majesty King Andara, I am Nix Columbus, the son of Marquis Snow of the Empire and the nephew of the noble Emperor Flor. I am here on behalf of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor to help you purify the descendants of the evil gods appearing in your territory. ”

"We have reason to believe that it has nothing to do with you and is a frame-up by the Holy See."

Nix showed a kind smile that nobles are good at, neither humble nor arrogant. His bloodline and status are equally noble. Before the marquis system was not exclusive to the royal family a hundred years ago, his status was qualified to be called His Highness by the nobles.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nix Columbus, right? I heard that you came to my kingdom to serve as the Archbishop of Light. Andara welcomes you, but I don't quite understand what you said."

"There has never been a belief in evil gods in my land. Although there is some chaos, it was a coup initiated by the followers of the traitor Hernan."

"They wanted to support the bloodline left by Hernan and become the new king. I was caught off guard because all my troops were sent to the north to fight against the orcs who wanted to exterminate us humans."

"But he still can't shake the foundation of the Andala Kingdom. I am the king here, and everyone can witness it."

Adams emphatically reminded that this last sentence was added by himself, mainly because what Ryan told him before that the emperor wanted to replace him made him very uneasy.

Nix's expression froze on his face. Next to him, the legendary magician Ivan, His Excellency the title [Ivy] narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around, and finally landed on Ryan.

"Imperial noble?"

There are differences between nobles and nobles because different nobles have different emblems. Similarly, there are greater differences between the nobles of the empire and the kingdom. The clothes they wear have a distinct imperial color.

"Ryan Clayton, met Archbishop Knicks."

Ryan's identity is still a baron, so it's not surprising that he saluted Nicks first. On the contrary, it was the latter who was a little surprised by Ryan's appearance.

"Baron Ryan? I have heard of your name, the Baron of the North who killed the Orc King. His Majesty the Emperor told me before I left that I could ask you about your belief in light, but I heard that you are not in the territory. I thought it would be here.”

The appearance of nobles from the empire in the palace of the kingdom is not good news.

"I have participated in the kingdom's war. Now that the threat of orcs is approaching, His Majesty the King has invited me to serve as the empire's military advisor to the kingdom to guide the kingdom's war. At the same time, in order to avoid the Holy See taking advantage of the opportunity, maybe you don't know, Archbishop Nyx, The faith in the Dawn is revived in the kingdom."

"oh?"

Nix's eyes widened with murderous intent.

"Damn the Holy See, how dare you blaspheme the faith of light, Baron Lane, maybe we can expel the kingdom's faith of dawn together again."

He discussed with Ryan directly here, which made the nobles look unhappy. As for Adams, he completely believed Ryan's words. The arrival of this member of the Columbus royal family was really likely to replace him.

He always felt insecure about his throne.

"Without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, I cannot directly interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom. Perhaps you can discuss with His Majesty the King."

Ryan refused tactfully. Nix looked past him and looked at the king, but Ivan next to him did not let go of his eyes.

"Did Farrell collude with you? No wonder he changed his opinion of the noble title and no longer wrote to me to ask me to help try a higher title."

"Dirty nobles."

Ivan said this in his heart. He was sarcastic about the nobles, whether it was Ryan in front of him or the royal family members next to him.

They were all like that.

It was pitiful that he had to run around for the nobles for the insignificant gold coin income. I wonder if the experimental subjects in the magic tower are still alive.

When Ivan retracted his gaze, Ryan glanced at him.

This guy has been looking at me for a long time. Is he the force sent by the emperor to deal with Hobiyi?

He should not be worse than the previous Shepherd of Light.
