Throne of the North.

Chapter 112 Ryan Behind the Transaction

"Mr. Christian, you can't be too happy now."

"We haven't really sent you back to Lingdu City yet. There, you are the real Viscount Miles, not now."

Ryan's words poured cold water on Christian. The Viscount looked at Ryan and said anxiously:
"Ryan, what should we do now?"

Ryan's expression was calm, and then he said:
"Our army can't attack Lingdu City. As long as Rag doesn't come out, we have no way to deal with that city. But just because we can't get in doesn't mean we can't get Rag out."

"At this time, you have to tell me what you did in Lingdu City and in Viscount Miles's territory."

"How many people in the Miles family can stand firmly on your side?"

"Rag no longer has an army. I believe that there are still many people in the Miles family who are not happy with Rag becoming a viscount. We need to contact them and ask them to help us capture Rag, send him out, and then welcome you, the real Viscount Miles, into Zero Crossing City."

"Don't you think, Christian, that would be a spectacular sight? Everyone would loyally welcome you back to your territory."

Christian imagined the scene in his mind and his blood boiled.

"Ryan, what should I do?"

"It's simple. Let everyone know that you are back."

……

In Lingdu City, Rag was furious in Viscount Miles's mansion, an ancient castle. He was so angry that he smashed everything around him.

"Waste, waste! Castor is a waste. Such a waste actually wants to own his own land in the future!"

"He actually lost! He lost to Ryan with all my troops!!!"

Rag roared in great anger. He never expected that the outcome he was waiting for would be the news that the entire army was annihilated.

"What should I do now? What should I do!"

Rag paced back and forth in his study. After all, he was much better than Christian and soon calmed down.

"First of all, I no longer have an elite army. The army I have put together is no match for Ryan."

"I can't leave Zero Crossing City."

"Then, we will ask the surrounding nobles, the lords, the nobles, and even Dragon... Never mind, Dragon is definitely out of the question. Let those nobles form a coalition and come to Lingdu City. I will lead them, and then we will counterattack Ryan."

"Finally, I need to ask for help from Earl Weiss. He will never give up the interests of Lingdu County. He has already consumed too many troops here. As long as Earl Weiss's army arrives, it will be easy to deal with Ryan's army."

"I can't lose. If I lose, the Miles family will be finished."

Rag stared at the portraits of the Miles family on the wall. He wanted to become one of them.

"I won't lose."

……

In Lord Kalam's territory, Ryan has become the master here, and the lord has brought the nobles as he wished.

There were barons and lords. Ryan met with these people separately before letting them see Christian. "You should all know how many wars I have won. Now there is only one left."

"This is a war for the nobility. Are you an excellent noble?"

"Christan became the true Viscount of Miles. This has been the consensus of everyone for decades. I think you are also shocked."

"But we are nobles, and nobles value interests. I will propose to the Viscount later that you can gain more benefits in the future. I believe that Rag has never had such an idea."

"I'm helping you... So, what can you give me?"

Not only Rag would not give up the interests of Viscount Miles' family, but Christian would not either. However, Ryan could do so without any burden. As he said, the interests among the nobles could change a lot of things, so he reached a deal with these nobles.

Ryan divided the wealth and interests of the Miles family, and similarly, these nobles would give Ryan part of the "reward" every year.

In the end, Ryan lived up to everyone's expectations and took them to meet Christian. Under everyone's gaze, these nobles acknowledged that Christian was the real Viscount Miles.

This was a deal. In order to regain the rights of the Viscount, Christian agreed to everything. For him, everything he gave away now belonged to Rag.

Ryan did not get involved in any of the transactions, but he would get a portion of the profits behind every transaction.

"There are still some nobles from the Miles family who have not come because of time and geographical issues, but I think we no longer need them."

Because it's very simple. Rag Miles, Viscount Miles, after knowing that some nobles had met with Ryan, actually wanted to redeem the army from Ryan.

"Christian, that's your army. Can you guarantee their loyalty?"

Ryan asked, and Christian was very confident about this.

"They have pledged their allegiance to me."

This is what chivalry is all about, and it is also the reason why Ryan would rather take slave soldiers than regular troops, or even kill them directly, every time he captured prisoners.

By making a knight's declaration of allegiance to the noble lord, this honor will greatly increase the loyalty of those soldiers, making it difficult to persuade them to rebel.

Those soldiers pledged allegiance to Christian, and most, if not all, of them were definitely loyal to Christian.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is still that problem. Everyone knew in the past that Christian was Viscount Miles, so they actually recognized it in their hearts.

Just like the people in the Miles family in Lingdu City today.

In the past few decades, they all knew that Christian was the future Viscount Miles. What would this bring? This would lead to many things and interests, and those people would put all their wealth on Christian instead of Rag.

When Christian becomes Viscount, they will gain more wealth, but when Rag becomes Viscount, all their previous investments will disappear.

So, when Christian sent people to contact these people, those people stood on Christian's side without any hesitation.

Viscount Miles is still Miles, and he is still the heir to the Miles family that everyone has known for decades. He is also Christian, who has a vested interest in them. Now that there is an opportunity, how can they not support it?

"Then let Rag use his wealth to buy the sword around his neck."

Ryan said with a smile that the price he offered was not a small number.
