Throne of the North.

Chapter 262 Assassination and Anger

Ryan, who was assassinated, certainly wasn't in a good mood, but within a few days, he couldn't care less about his mood.

"In the Beifeng Province, a total of fifteen lords were assassinated, and none of them survived."

"The remaining pioneers of light are trembling in fear, and most of them don't even dare to stay in their own territories."

This was the news Ryan received. In fact, not only the lords who had just arrived in the North Wind Province, but also the local nobles were a little frightened. They were worried and huddled together, so Ryan was able to know about this matter the fastest.

"Is the Vatican falling out?"

Ryan was a little surprised. He thought that killing one heir of the Meyers family would be enough, but it turned out that they were targeting everyone.

"The war of faith is more cruel than you can imagine."

……

Thundercloud County.

The Marquis of Beifeng, who was already in a bad mood, became even more angry. The death of a noble heir of the Meyers family was a very serious matter.

As a result, before the news reached the imperial capital, more than a dozen pioneer nobles died. They were all pioneers who believed in the God of Light. It went without saying who would deal with them.

The death of Valente Meyers was enough to make him anxious before the incident was resolved. Now the deaths of so many nobles can no longer be concealed, and the entire empire will be greatly shaken.

He could almost imagine that the anger of the southern nobles would eventually spread to the Holy See, but the first one to be touched by the anger of the nobles would definitely be him, the Marquis of the North Wind.

You know, each of these lords of the Pioneers of Light has a background, and their fathers are all powerful nobles.

"Mulan! Go and kill all those missionaries. They actually dared to massacre the nobles of the empire. The Church is starting a war, war!"

Marquis Beifeng roared, and the teams entering and leaving the other world on Thundercloud Mountain became much quieter.

"The archbishop has a token of the Holy See on him. If I take action and the great blessing falls, the power brought by the divine descent will not be inferior to the legendary one. Are you sure?"

Knight Mulan said on the side that he was just a knight, and this extraordinary path accepted everyone, but in terms of means, it was not as rich as those of other extraordinary paths.

Therefore, if he took action, he would definitely be discovered, and it would be impossible for him to kill the archbishop before the divine descent arrived.

"What can we do now? Just watch them kill the nobles of the empire? The believers of the God of Light?"

Many lords have gathered on Thunder Cloud Mountain. They all ran here out of fear of being assassinated. Marquis Beifeng has to take care of so many giant babies, and the pressure is huge for a while.

Knight Mulan sighed. He didn't know whether it was the right choice for the royal family to arrange for him to become the Marquis of Beifeng. At this moment, he could only give a little suggestion:

"Your purpose of coming here is to spread the faith of light. Those pioneering lords have already come to the North Wind Province."

"Their identities are not just believers of light. Before this identity, they were nobles of the empire, nobles who had been canonized to the North Wind Province."

"The people of the Church killed not only the believers of light, but also the nobles of the Northern Wind Province."

"This is a provocation to the Empire and a declaration of war against all nobles in the Northern Wind Province."

Marquis Beifeng's eyes widened and he suddenly laughed.

"That's right. The Church killed the nobles of the Northern Wind Province. This is a shame for all the nobles. Shame!!!"

"Write to me now and tell all the nobles in Beifeng Province to come to Leiyun County. This is war, war!"

The number of followers that Marquis Beifeng brought to Beifeng Province was not large, but the proportion of extraordinary people among them was not small.

That same evening, Baron Ryan of the farthest Frozen Territory received a letter from the Bluebird, asking him to go to Thundercloud County.

"The Holy See assassinated the nobles of the Northern Wind Province of the Empire. This is a provocation and declaration of war against all nobles. This is a war, a war with the Holy See."

One could sense the anger of the Marquis Beifeng in his words. "You reacted pretty quickly. Have you finally figured out that you should rely on the strengths of the local nobles to deal with the Church?"

Ryan put down the letter and called Brand over.

Early the next morning, Ryan set out with the bodies of the Black Swan Assassins that had turned into mummies.

……

In Leiyun County, the winds and clouds gather.

Ryan, who arrived not too early, first saw Viscount Walter, who looked sad, among the nobles.

"My Lord Viscount, what's wrong with you?"

Ryan stepped forward and asked.

Viscount Walter looked at Ryan, his eyes brightened.

"Baron Ryan, you don't know that Tieshan County is very close. I came very early, but as soon as I arrived, the Governor-General began to praise me, saying that I killed the missionaries of the Holy See and won a great victory for the empire."

What was coming had finally come, and this was the reason why Viscount Walter was so sad. The death of the missionary was causing him great trouble.

Ryan understood what the Viscount meant.

"My Lord Viscount means, Marquis Beifeng, that the Governor wants you to tell us that this war is between the nobles and the Church?"

Viscount Walter nodded and said:
"He asked me to cooperate with him and persuade everyone to find all the church personnel in Beifeng Province and burn them to death."

"I remember... there are several missionaries in Thundercloud County who have always been here, right?"

Ryan asked curiously, but it was obvious that the Marquis of the North Wind ignored the Archbishop and his entourage.

He had no reason to kill these missionaries.

After all, the missionaries are now holding evidence and constantly forcing the Marquis, and the one who is standing on the side of injustice is the Marquis Beifeng.

……

After waiting for another day, all the nobles of the North Wind Province arrived at the Thundercloud Mountain. This time it was not for the other world, but for the governor's anger.

When the Marquis of the North Wind saw that all the nobles, even the heirs who were one or two years old, were being held in their seats, he began to show his majesty and anger.

"Damn the Church, they actually dared to kill the nobles of the great empire. This is a provocation to all the nobles of the empire."

"They're starting a war!"

"You are all nobles of the Northern Wind Province. How can you just watch the death of more than a dozen noble lords and remain indifferent?!"

Marquis Beifeng looked at everyone coldly, and the children were even scared and started crying.

"Can I doubt that the nobles of the Northern Wind Province have already ignored the rules of the Empire? Turning a blind eye to the challenge of the Holy See?"

After hearing this, the nobles certainly could no longer remain silent.

But before any nobles wanted to refute, Ryan stood up and said:

"Mr. Governor, do you have evidence to prove that the murderer of Lord Valente and other pioneering lords is from the Holy See?"

"If there is no evidence, I'm afraid we will be in a passive position."

If they were facing any other enemy, it would be fine. Without evidence, they would not dare to confront the empire. But the same cannot be said for the Holy See. Without a legitimate reason, they would be at a disadvantage in all aspects of politics.
