Throne of the North.

Chapter 224 Baron Huffman

"This is the army of a baron of the Empire?"

Inside the castle, in front of the arched window, Viscount Fragoso let the red wine flow down his arms, while the nobles beside him also looked at the battlefield below in silence.

"Baron Ryan is not an ordinary baron in the empire. His territory is very powerful, and the population is no less than that of a viscount."

Mihaly behind her was also silent about the result, but as the only one present who had been to the Frozen Territory, she still spoke up.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is only a baron."

"According to your opinion, I admit that Ryan is very capable and is an outstanding nobleman that only appears once in a hundred years in the empire, but he is only a baron, and a baron in the northern border."

"But is it true that my Fragoso's hundreds of years of heritage is so bad?"

Taking a deep breath, Fragoso could not accept his own incompetence and the incompetence of his ancestors.

"Tell Diglan that we must win this fight!"

He almost roared out in suppressed anger. It would be fine if it was just him, but don't forget that there are other nobles around. They stand on the side of the Fragoso family and Grand Duke McReynolds. If they lose completely after seeing what happened today, it will shake their trust in Fragoso.

The situation in the kingdom is tense now, and he and the Grand Duke must unite a group of nobles around them in order to accomplish great things.

In terms of military strength, it is the only reference value.

So, we have to win today.

As he said this, the viscount took a look at his daughter. In every aspect, Michael was more suitable to be his heir than Digran, but it might be meaningless to say so.

Mihaly knew what Fragoso meant, so he turned around and left, and soon appeared in the military camp below.

"Fragoso's elite troops will soon return to the castle. Mr. Harrington, please wait a moment while we continue the drill."

Taking this opportunity, Mihaly came to Harrington.

She first praised the strength of the Frozen Territory's army, and then tactfully stated that there were some nobles in the castle watching, which meant that Fragoso would have a say in the future, which might affect the share of the trade volume with the Frozen Territory.

Harrington understood that Mihaly wanted him to give in, and the price was that Fragoso would purchase more weapons from the Frozen Territory and sell them more food.

But he rejected Mihaly without thinking.

"I'm sorry, Madam Lord, I am Baron Ryan's attendant. I don't have the right to ask Baron Ryan's soldiers to give up victory on their own initiative."

"This represents the glory of the Ryan family. The honor of a knight prevents us from returning to the territory as weaklings."

Harrington's voice was neutral. The cavalry behind him was the most elite army in the Frozen Territory. If they lost, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Frozen Territory and the prestige of Baron Ryan.

Baron Ryan has never been defeated on the battlefield, so they cannot lose to any army.

Not to mention Viscount Fragoso's soldiers, even if the Grand Duke sent the Griffin Knights, they would not be able to bow their heads.

After receiving such an answer, Mihaly's face looked a little ugly, but she still nodded to show that she understood.

Not long after, a new group of soldiers appeared in the Viscount's territory, a total of 300 people, but Harrington could see clearly that 200 of them were the previous soldiers.

"charge!"

Holding long training weapons, the earth trembled, iron hooves trampled on the land, stirring up the most primitive smell of the soil, and the fully armed armies of both sides once again collided like lions.

Finally, blood was shed, and Fragoso gave orders that all the soldiers should not be careless and stop hiding. They must win. But in the end, they were the ones who shed blood.

In the castle, Viscount Fragoso's eyes were gloomy, and he turned around and no longer watched the outcome of the exercise.

The other nobles around also had puzzled looks in their eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"The army of the Frozen Territory Baron is so powerful. It seems... we need to contact the baron. It would be good to deepen our relationship with him."

"I heard that there is a caravan from the frozen land territory buying food? We can communicate with them."

At dawn the next day, these nobles returned to their own territories in carriages. The distance between the territories of the nobles in the Andara Kingdom was much shorter than that between the nobles in the Empire. It took them only two or three hours to return to their territories.

However, what these nobles didn’t know was that there were so many people when they left, but when they came back, there were a few more people.

Appia squatted in the shadow of the corner, looking at Baron Huffman in front of him, who was writing a letter at the desk. He walked over. The baron was neither a knight nor a wizard, and he could not realize that the most powerful cat-man assassin was right next to him.

"Your Highness Hernan, I saw something very interesting today. Viscount Fragoso, who is next to McReynos, invited a caravan from the empire. It was a baron's team with..."

Baron Huffman wrote a bunch of nonsense, and when he was about to write the key points, he heard a knock on the door.

He looked towards the door vigilantly, then put the letter in his hand under the table.

"Come in."

The one who came in was Knight Rosslet, the most powerful knight in the baron's territory. The baron looked at this powerful knight in the territory and asked with some dissatisfaction:

"What is it, Knight Roslet?"

The knight knew that the baron was upset about being disturbed in his study, but he said:

"Mr. Baron, Miss Poppy suspects that a thief has entered the territory. I wonder if you have found anything."

"Someone?"

Huffman had something to hide, and naturally couldn't help wondering if he had exposed something.

"Take your men to search the territory and arrest all the strangers."

He is cautious.

"Follow your will."

"Oh, by the way, are there people from the Frozen Territory coming to our place?"

"Yes, they arrived yesterday afternoon. They are purchasing food from the territory."

"Don't worry about them, just find a way to contact them and say..."

Baron Huffman instructed that after the knight left, Baron Huffman would continue writing. Finally, Appia watched him open a secret compartment behind the bookcase and put the letter in it.

Covered with magic secret patterns, Appia did not dare to take action after Baron Huffman left. He was not familiar with magical means and it would be bad if he aroused vigilance.

But from the few words he had seen before, he was able to understand something.

"Your Highness Hernan... This should mean the prince of the kingdom, right?"
