Throne of the North.

Chapter 242 Seizing the Right to Speak

After waiting in the Barony for five days, the civilians here were naturally miserable. They had to serve these nobles while working.

In particular, the number of nobles increased. Looking at the nobles who came with soldiers, the common people lowered their heads and dared not look up.

The smile on Ryan's face disappeared, and he looked at Lord Hora and Knight Badley.

"It seems that the two earls have made their choice."

Without the support of the two earls, these small nobles would be under tremendous pressure to face a marquis directly.

"Then please give my regards to the Earl after you return."

This represented a parting of ways between Ryan and the two earls, and perhaps also the nobles who now stood on his side.

Seeing this, the two Sky Knights could no longer stay.

The nobles from the farthest place arrived here within five days. The speed of the two earls could not be so slow.

Since he hasn't appeared yet, it means that the Earl has given up the land here.

As the Earl's subordinates, they naturally could no longer follow Ryan to gain benefits.

Seeing that the Earl had also made his choice, some of the nobles who arrived later became hesitant, and several of them even turned around and left. It was too unwise for them to go against a Marquis for the land of Leiyun County.

"It seems that we are the only ones left."

Ryan looked at the nobles around him and laughed again.

That’s good too. Without the two earls, he can continue to improve his reputation in the eyes of these nobles, which will be beneficial to the future economic development of the Frozen Territory.

Taking these nobles back to Thundercloud Mountain, Ryan waited for the Marquis to appear.

"You'd better be careful, this Krisna. I heard from my wife that he has a bad temper. When he was in the South, he often killed slaves for fun."

"I heard that in the manor, he often made the maids strip naked and fight with knights' swords. The one who survived would be favored by him."

"He had previously fought for more provincial marquisates, but had failed, which had caused his temper to become erratic."

"Can such a person also receive God's grace?"

Ryan asked with his head tilted, but Viscount Hogg did not continue.

Ryan also felt that the divine grace of the Marquis was not bestowed by the gods, at least, it was not bestowed voluntarily.

……

When the Marquis of Beifeng saw Ryan again, he no longer had the look he had before as a junior. Deep in the corners of his eyes, there was a strong sense of indifference and anger.

"Your Majesty the Marquis."

"Lian, I underestimated you, the youngest military genius in the Northern Wind Province, a commander who can command tens of thousands of people."

In the past few days, the Marquis has figured out Ryan's strengths and weaknesses. It seems that this man has no friends in the North Wind Province.

"Tell me, what do you want to do here?"

"We just want to get the land that is ours."

"As a reward, we are willing to share the portal to the alternate world with you."

Ryan said this neither humbly nor arrogantly. He knew that in the team that followed the Marquis here this time, there was a wizard who was at least in the Sanctuary, and it was very likely that he was only one step away from becoming a legend, and was even more powerful than the Countess.

In addition, there are hundreds of powerful extraordinary people and an army of pioneers numbering up to 1,500.

Also, the other party can influence the army of Flying Wing Canyon, so although it seems that there are only a few people, in fact, as long as the Marquis is willing, the army of Flying Wing Canyon can appear in the North.

"Impossible, that's my territory."

"That is the land we gained during the war. It belonged to the former Earl of Weiss."

"The Empire has laws..." "Even under the Empire's laws, we cannot plunder territories that already belong to the nobles. Those lands have the flags of every one of our nobles."

At this moment, Ryan has completely stood on the opposite side of the Marquis.

He had to do this. If he wanted to gather the nobles around him, he had to have a reason.

This is not like a war. Once the war is over, the cohesion is no longer enough. This involves a dispute over land. As long as the land exists, they are natural allies.

When facing the Marquis, they are allies, and this relationship can naturally extend to all aspects.

In fact, this is Ryan trying to seize the two earls' voice in the North Wind Province.

"The other world is huge, and the wealth there far exceeds the benefits of these few pieces of land. It is impossible for the Marquis to want everything."

"We have no control over the lands of the two earls and other nobles, but those that belong to us must be hoisted with our flag."

"Great nobles don't need to care about land, but we are just small nobles and need the wealth grown from the land."

The Marquis stared at Ryan, thinking of his previous failures. One of the biggest reasons for his failure was that the royal family believed that he did not have the bearing and reason of an aristocrat.

Decades of sedimentation have calmed him down.

"Only this time, your land will be returned to you in the name of the transaction, but the key of divinity must remain."

"Of course, if it's not on Thundercloud Mountain, this key will be meaningless to us."

"But I think the greatest use of this key is to prevent the armies of the two great nobles from entering in large numbers, right?"

"Earl Weiss spent five years developing the other world, but he only captured 20,000 to 30,000 natives. But with the help of the Flying Wolf Cavalry, we can catch up with Earl Weiss's progress in a few months."

The development of the alien plane belongs to all the nobles in the North Wind Province. The Marquis cannot make any rebuttal to this point. It is the spoils of victory in the war.

Even if other people from the royal family come, Marquis Beifeng must stand on the side of the nobles of Beifeng Province.

But it is conceivable that you will definitely be bullied when you enter and exit the different dimension in the future.

But Ryan didn't care.

……

With the arrival of the Marquis, the two earls also tacitly agreed to give the land here to the Marquis of the North Wind. Naturally, the previous plan that Ryan would be the commander-in-chief responsible for the development of the alternate dimension world was also shattered.

The fragile alliance disappeared, and the nobles were left to hunt for the wealth of the alternate world on their own.

In other words, it is to enclose land.

This time, the two earls were no longer silent. They came to Thundercloud Mountain and enclosed land with all the nobles.

"Nobles can only hunt in their own areas. If the prey runs into the enclosures of other nobles, negotiations are required."

"These places belong to the frozen land territory."

Ryan walked to the rough map after the three nobles. In his opinion, this vague enclosure was meaningless.

Moreover, the area on the map is not the entire alien dimension, and there are many places they don’t know about.

The most important thing is, after the enclosure, can the people sent by those nobles really defeat those ferocious beasts?
Ryan felt hanging.

One by one, the nobles stepped forward to choose the places they valued. The Marquis of Beifeng also took this opportunity to see the situation in Beifeng Province clearly. He did not expect that Ryan's status here was second only to the two earls.

This made him very unhappy.

"This place belongs to the indigenous tribe. We have a contract with them and we can't choose."

Ryan stopped Viscount Hogg from making a wide range of choices. The Viscount looked at Ryan and finally narrowed the range.

After all the nobles had finished, Marquis Beifeng finally showed some of his sincerity.
