Throne of the North.

Chapter 239 The Great Battle

On Thunder Cloud Mountain, a group of nobles who had already received the news gathered together again.

Of course they are positive, because in the near future, they may not be so free when they come here again.

"My Lord Viscount, this is a gift for you. Your army played a huge role in the development of the otherworldly plane. Without them, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reach a deal with those natives."

"We were able to complete what Earl Weiss hadn't accomplished in five years so quickly, all thanks to your military support, Baron."

"Give my regards to the Earl. This is the skin of a giant python shed by the Rock Snake Tribe and given to the Earl. It looks like it came from a powerful magical beast."

"Viscount Landa's territory is getting better and better. If these animal skins can be sold to the south, it may be able to relieve the Viscount's pressure in this regard."

"Oh, by the way, this is the contract between us and the natives. You should keep it well. With this, the natives will not attack your army in the other dimension."

"The environment in the mountains and forests is complex. Without a lot of people, we will get lost. Many times we still need these indigenous people to show us the way."

Ryan worked tirelessly to deal with the nobles, but before long, he lost 80% of the huge wealth he brought back.

It is not advisable to hit a smiling person, not to mention that behind Ryan's smile, a large amount of wealth was distributed to the nobles. Therefore, the nobles of course fully supported Ryan's decision.

What's worse, some even came up to ask when the next large-scale development would be.

It is difficult for a noble alone to earn a lot of wealth in the other dimension. Even the Viscount does not have such ability. But by following Ryan, they only need to provide a part of the soldiers to reap huge benefits.

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. As you know, the Marquis is coming. We developed the alternate dimension world on our own before the Marquis arrived. If we don't bring the Marquis with us the second time, we'll probably be in trouble."

"You all know that the North Wind Province is not favored by other people in the empire."

Ryan said helplessly, and the nobles also agreed with him, because the nobles of the North Wind Province often did not have a very deep network of relationships with those in the South. Even the two earls were like this. More than half of the remaining nobles were nobles who had surrendered to the empire.

Such an identity background meant that it would be difficult and long for the nobles of the Northern Province to integrate into the empire.

In fact, Ryan's identity as the son of a great southern noble is unique in the North Wind Province.

It was okay before, everyone lived their own life, but now that Marquis Beifeng has arrived, that marquis is different.

It is difficult for the nobles of the North Wind Province to integrate into the nobles of the South, but the same is true in reverse. The nobles of the South will also be excluded when they come here.

Ryan used to be an outsider to the circle, but because of the war, he gradually became familiar with the nobles of the North Wind Province and was recognized.

The Marquis has arrived... but there is no war to go with him.

Seeing the nobles remain silent, Ryan felt helpless. Why did these nobles suddenly become so timid?

"The fiefdom given to the Marquis by the Empire is a hundred miles around here, but there are still a lot of lands belonging to my frozen land territory. I still need to talk to the Marquis about these places, so that he won't take them away from me."

"So next time I will definitely take the Marquis with me to explore the alternate dimension world."

"So that's it."

The nobles reacted and said that they were the same. They also had land within a hundred miles.

The nobles could compromise on many things, but when it came to land, in this era when the primary industry was the main industry, the importance of land was self-evident.

"The land must not be given to Lord North Wind. It is the spoils of our war."

"My Lord Earl will not allow Marquis Beifeng to occupy our land."

Ryan's expression was playful.

"My Lord Earl has the confidence to give it away. After all, their land is already very large, and Leiyun County may not be able to take care of it." Ryan's words silenced the nobles again. They looked at Ryan, and some of them realized that the baron seemed to be planning something.

The eyes of Lord Hora and Knight Badley beside them also became sharp.

"Baron Ryan, you cannot make random guesses about the Earl's decision."

They are loyal to the Earl behind them, so naturally they will not allow Baron Ryan to plot against the Earl.

"Then I'll tell you the truth."

Ryan no longer concealed himself and looked at the two sky knights seriously.

"We need to know what the two earls mean. Within this 100-mile radius, the two earls have the most land. The earl can choose to give up, but even so, Marquis Beifeng cannot ignore them."

"But we can't give up. The land here can double our wealth. So, if the Earl can't take the lead, then we can only discuss it with the Marquis of the North Wind ourselves."

Hora was also suppressed by Ryan's sudden aristocratic aura. He was very powerful, but as a noble, he was only a lord. Any noble title here was higher than him.

"The Earl will naturally make a decision."

Lord Hora snorted coldly. He would not make the decision for the Earl, nor would he let Ryan continue speaking.

"Decision? Too late."

Ryan came to Hora's side, pulled the sky knight away, and pointed to the sky over there.

"The Marquis has arrived."

"It's in Thundercloud County."

Almost as Ryan finished speaking, a Flying Wolf Cavalryman quickly flew towards the mountain from the other side of the sky and came in front of Lord Hora.

"Captain of the Legion, the Earl asked me to tell you that the Marquis of Beifeng's troops have entered Beifeng Province and are heading towards Thunder Cloud Mountain."

He didn't need to say anything, as many nobles looked towards the south. At some point, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds in the sky covered by the sea of ​​clouds like a sharp arrow and shone on the earth.

They previously thought that this was just a sunlight phenomenon, but now after careful observation, they discovered something different.

The faces of the magicians recruited by the nobles changed drastically.

"This is the power of divinity guiding the sunlight."

The nobles realized the reason and some barons turned pale.

“It is truly a divine grace.”

They have always believed that the God-Blessed Ones were a means used by the Empire to deal with the Holy See, but now it seems that Marquis Beifeng really is a God-Blessed One.

The person gifted by the Lord of Dawn?
At this moment, the nobles were in chaos.

Ryan had already seen that at the foot of Thundercloud Mountain, on the sunlit road, a long team had arrived here, bathed in the sunlight that was shining directly down from the sky.

On both sides were many confused serfs and civilians, who knelt on the ground and shouted for the glory of the gods.

Ryan even saw more than a dozen humanoid creatures with wings on their backs flying in the center of the team. They were gargoyles. Needless to say, they must have come from the count of Danube Province.
