Throne of the North.

Chapter 284 A sneak attack across space

Ryan's words made the two nobles frown subconsciously.

"You take 10%, and the Marquis, Count Winter, and I will each take 30%."

That's right, even if they win in the end, a share of this gold mine will definitely belong to Earl Winter.

Because they had no way to kill Count Winter and Count Weiss with one blow.

"One percent, that's a lot."

Ryan nodded in approval. One tenth of the gold mine here would be worth at least one or two hundred thousand gold coins.

"But, isn't that right? All three of you have 30% each?"

"Are you not satisfied?"

Marquis Beifeng snorted coldly. In his opinion, only 30% was too little. According to the previous plan of the two, each of them occupied 50% of the gold mine.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied. I think it's Earl Winter who is dissatisfied, and the other nobles in the North Wind Province are also dissatisfied."

Ryan said with a smile.

……

The Earldom of Winter.

"Master, Madam, the portal to the otherworldly plane opened today, but Master Lord Hora did not come out."

A servant knelt in front of Earl Winter and said, causing the Earl to put down the silver cutlery in his hand and his face darkened.

"what happened."

"No... I don't know yet."

"All the nobles' armies have not come out of the other world. People in the Marquis's mansion said that Baron Ryan encountered trouble in the other world and needed the help of the nobles' armies."

"Ryan?"

Countess Winter next to her asked:
"What kind of dangers could he encounter in the otherworldly plane?"

"Did he find the divine beast?"

The nobles saw Baron Ryan's frequent forays into other worlds and wondered in their hearts what he was doing there. After all, he never brought out any precious treasures every time he went in.

No one could answer the Countess's question, and as a magician, the Countess would not think too much about it, but Count Winter thought a lot.

"Madam, maybe it's not a divine monster, but our gold mine has been exposed."

Lord Winter said as he saw the cat-man assassin step out of the shadows in the doorway.

"Master, Count Solon's eldest son, Feder Solon, is not in the earldom."

"We can't get into the Earl's castle."

Hearing this, Earl Winter had a bad feeling.

"Ma'am, please contact Hola."

Hearing Count Winter's words, the Countess nodded, and the next moment she appeared in the Mage Tower. Soon, the magic factors in the surrounding void boiled and enveloped a huge shell on the top of the Mage Tower.

"Madam, Lord Earl, our gold mine has been discovered!"

"Lord Sauron, Marquis Beifeng, and Baron Ryan attacked us. We had no choice but to leave..."

The angry voice of Lord Hora came from the shell. This was not real time, but the voice left by Lord Hora.

Upon receiving the news, Earl Winter twisted the silver cup in his hand and sneered after a long time.

"I knew this group of people had set their sights on my gold mine!"

"They will not be a match for the Flying Wolf Cavalry."

The Countess said that now that the gold mine was lost, her magic practice would also be affected.

"No, it's not Muir and the Governor that I'm worried about, it's Ryan."

"He is best at winning outside of combat. If we cause the Wolf Cavalry to suffer too many losses, we will lose even if we win."

Count Winter stood up and put on his earl's robe.

"I'm going to contact the other nobles."

Earl Winter was still very wary of the alliance between the three nobles. Now that the gold mine had been exposed, it was impossible to conceal it any longer, so he decided to let everyone get involved.

He had made up his mind that his share of the gold mine must not be less than 50%.

As for the remaining 50%, he also has a way to get it back.

That is, there are mineral veins in the territories of other nobles. Every noble who has shared his gold mines must give Earl Winter a portion of the mineral veins in his territory.

The amount doesn't need to be too large, but if added together, it can barely make up for half of the gold mine he lost.

This is the exchange and compromise of interests, and it also reflects Count Winter's talent and acumen for politics.

A few days later, the portal to the other dimension in Leiyun County still hadn't opened.

"They are going to dig out the gold mine!"

It would be difficult to dig out a mineral vein without several years.

But what if... there were extraordinary knights involved?

How powerful are thousands of dragonblood warriors? The armor and weapons on their bodies add up to more than 200 kilograms, which means they can easily swing objects weighing 100 to 200 kilograms.

Ordinary miner slaves need to use tools when dealing with stones weighing dozens or hundreds of pounds. How can they compare with the extraordinary ones?

As for the extraordinary knight, why doesn’t he work as a miner because of his noble status?

Profits from the gold mines are everything.

In fact, it is true.

The dragonblood warriors in leather armor took off their armor, picked up the ore that was taller than a person and ran away.

"It's inappropriate to use all the soldiers to carry ore, right?"

Ryan was a little hesitant, but Marquis Beifeng had no scruples.

"The Flying Wolf Cavalry dare not attack us."

After saying that, he looked at Ryan.

"Let your soldiers in as well. With more time, we can dig out more gold."

"Never mind, they have other things to do."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, several knight servants came over pushing a huge wheelbarrow.

"Master, it has been made."

Ryan nodded and looked down.

"Give it to them to see if it works."

If it is just an ordinary person, then the unicycle naturally cannot be so big, but if it is used by a knight, there is no need to consider so much.

He is very strong and his car is big.

With the help of suitable tools, the speed of gold mining has been greatly accelerated.

However, knights are different from miners after all. They will not work for too long. Even if the knights have no complaints about mining gold, the nobles will not let them mine for too long.

Another two days passed, and Ryan guessed that the mined ore could be smelted into 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins.

"It depends on whether Marquis Beifeng can withstand the pressure from outside."

Ryan thought to himself, but then he changed his mind and felt that it was not right. Marquis Beifeng himself stayed here and did not go out, so what pressure could there be in the Marquis’ mansion outside?
I don't know what excuse this person used to avoid opening the door to the nobles outside.

Another day has come, and the golden ore is pleasing to the eyes of everyone, even if only the nobles own the gold mines.

It was unusual that there were no sharp and piercing roars of overseers in the mine, because the only overseer here was the Earl's heir, Feder, and the people under him were all knights. Who would dare to be rude to them?

"Master, noble from another world."

A native of the Grey Eagle tribe came to Ryan's side and said in a low but still loud voice:
"There are no birds in the woods around here." "If there are no birds, then ..."

Ryan was halfway through his words when he suddenly reacted and pulled out the knight's long sword held by the servant behind him.

"Brand, recall the troops."

"Everyone take up arms immediately!"

His voice, strengthened by his energy and blood, resounded loudly throughout the mine. But just as he finished speaking, a large number of unicorn flying wolves flew out from a mountain in the east and rushed towards the mine.

At a rough glance, the number is far more than the previous five or six hundred.

"I knew that the Space Sanctuary magician must have a way to anchor this alien world and open the space gate."

It has been a long time since the other world was discovered. The Countess has also been here. Is it possible that she has come in but has done nothing?

She must have left behind some medium or anchoring power.

In Exnel, Ryan had heard that several great wizards in the Crucible City tried their best to break through the sanctuary, because after entering the sanctuary they could cross the planes of time and stay away from the dying winter world.

Regardless of the cost, at least the sanctuary is the minimum standard and condition.

In the mine, the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion were terrified by the sudden war. They all lost their composure and hurriedly ran towards the camp, where they had their weapons and equipment as well as armor to defend against the Flying Wolf Cavalry.

"No armor, no armor, just weapons!"

Ryan has arrived at the mine. The burning knight's sword in his hand brings a blazing majesty. After hesitating, the soldiers gritted their teeth and gave up their armor.

Wearing armor has never been an easy task. The armor of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion cannot even be put on by one person alone, and it takes even longer.

If you were attacked while it was halfway put on, the scene would be unimaginable.

Count Sauron was also a little panicked at this moment. The Dragonblood Warrior Legion was the last trump card of the Sauron family and could not be lost. At this moment, he also yelled at Ryan.

"Baron Ryan, what is your solution?"

"still on the way!"

Ryan looked at the Flying Wolf Cavalry flying down from the sky with cold eyes. The time was too short and even he was not covered with Mithril armor.

I have to say that Count Winter found a good opportunity.

If the native had not been very familiar with this place and noticed the fleeing birds around him, he would not have noticed the arrival of the Flying Wolf Cavalry.

Needless to say, this is definitely a method used by space magicians.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

"Hide behind a rock!"

Ryan could imagine how much pressure the unarmored soldiers would feel when facing the sharp teeth and claws of the one-horned flying wolf and the cavalry lances behind the flying wolf. Even the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion would be slaughtered in the face of such an attack without heavy armor.

"Hahahaha! Baron Ryan!"

The Flying Wolf Cavalry had appeared above his head. Perhaps because of their aristocratic clothing, no Flying Wolf Cavalry appeared in front of Ryan, but he soon heard Sharon's voice.

The earl's son, now also riding a unicorn flying wolf, was wearing armor and charging towards Ryan, determined to capture him.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the flame on the knight's sword in his hand disappeared. At the moment when the unicorn flying wolf pounced towards him three meters above the ground, the knight's sword in Sharon's hand on his back also fell towards him.

He bent his legs and kicked the boulder under his feet with his right foot, breaking it into pieces. The instant twist allowed him to avoid the sharp claws of the unicorn wolf. At the moment when the flesh wings as hard as metal were about to scratch his head, Ryan raised his sword upside down, blocking Sharon's attack and also placed the sword tip in front of the flesh wings of the unicorn wolf.

The huge force of the cross made Sharon unable to be shocked and the whole person was knocked away, as if it was him instead of Ryan who was charged by the unicorn wolf.

Falling to the ground and spitting blood, Sharon's eyes were full of fear. Then she saw the unicorn flying wolf that had lost one wing wailing on the ground, climbing up in the blood, and just as it was about to roar violently at Ryan, it was pierced through the head by a sword.

boom!
Ryan kicked the unicorn's body away, drew back his sword, turned his head and glanced at Sharon.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Sharon fell to the ground, rubbing her legs against the ground, and kept retreating. Ryan felt that it was meaningless and looked towards the real battlefield.

As he thought, there was no difference between the Flying Wolf Cavalry facing the unarmed Dragonblood Warrior Legion and him leading his knight squires to charge an infantry army.

The soldiers of the Dragonblood Warrior Legion were very powerful, even stronger than the strong barbarians under Count Weiss's command, because they were descendants bathed in dragon blood, but their flesh and blood bodies could not compare to the descendants of dragons. They would bleed if pierced by sharp lances, and the sharp claws of the unicorn flying wolf would also cause heavy injuries to them.

The casualty ratio has reached one to three or one to four. Even the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion will probably see its morale collapse in no time.

They are the masters who are high and mighty, and they have always been the ones to slaughter others.

Boom! ! !
Finally, after the war had lasted for about fifteen minutes, the sound of war horses' hooves was heard in the distance. The unique ability of the Northern war horses to cross mountains and ridges allowed them to quickly return to the mine.

"J!"

Brand's voice was loud, and then the cavalry behind him split into two groups and ran to both sides. Each cavalryman on horseback held a corner of a large net.

They charged towards the battlefield, and when they approached the battlefield, they ran forward with large gum nets tied with stones in their hands.

The knights and squires who had received two kinds of divine blessings, especially the blood and energy blessing from the deer spirit, became powerful. The large gum net passed across the sky and covered all the people below.

These nets are used to catch birds. Flying Wolf Cavalry have wings and are also birds, so there is nothing wrong with that.

Covered by the big net, the huge unicorn flying wolf couldn't fly into the sky at all. It was found by the surrounding Dragon Blood Warrior Legion soldiers, and the big sword directly stabbed into the unicorn flying wolf's body.

The unicorn howled in pain and waved its claws to try to hit the soldiers, but the obstruction of the large net not only reduced its strength and speed, but its claws were also stuck in the mouth of the net.

The lethality of the gum net was almost zero, but the panic it brought to the Flying Wolf Cavalry was ten or a hundred times greater. They had never adapted to fighting without the use of wings, so naturally they were in great disarray.

At this time, if the wolf cavalry behind the flying wolf came down directly to fight with the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion, they would still have the advantage because they were protected by leather armor. But they had also lived and fought with the unicorn flying wolf since childhood, and the two were one. If one side panicked, the other side would also be in a mess.

"kill!"

The soldiers roared and the battlefield was in complete chaos, but Brand and his cavalry were still spreading their nets.

"Get those damn nets off my hands!"

Earl Winter finally appeared on the back of the Sky One-Horned Wolf. He was roaring, not expecting that a sneak attack would turn out like this.

Hearing his voice, some powerful knights wanted to take action. The power of the Sky Knights could change all the advantages of the terrain, but just as they were about to escape, the Sky Knights under Count Sauron behind them attacked frantically.

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene. He could see the huge advantage of the Sky Knight in the war, so he understood more clearly that the conflict between himself and Count Sauron was only because the gold mine was hidden.

Count Winter looked to his side and the Countess shook her head slightly.

“It will cause accidental injuries.”

Although the magic of space is powerful, in such a rapidly changing battlefield, a random scratch by the sharp blade of space will kill any soldier, no matter who they are.

"Then let's see who will give up first!"

Perhaps because of his wealth and power, Count Winter is more courageous than Count Sauron. Even though more than half of the Flying Wolf Cavalry were forced to fight under the fishing nets at this moment, he still did not choose to cease fire.

He understood that the Dragonblood Warrior Legion, which only had weapons but no armor, would collapse before the Flying Wolf Cavalry.

That old man Muir Thorin must be heartbroken for his army of dragonblood warriors, as the advantage in the war is still on his side that was suddenly attacked.

He understood, and Ryan understood too.

After all, the command of the Dragonblood Warrior Legion is in the hands of Count Sauron. He must end the war before Count Sauron can no longer bear it. At the same time, he needs to seize the opportunity to make the two extraordinary legions of the North Wind Province consume each other to the extreme.

Only when the snipe and the clam fight each other can the fisherman gain.

He couldn't help but glance towards Count Sauron, looking at the old Count's expression, waiting for the best opportunity.

Perhaps the scene was too chaotic, and even Count Sauron was unable to judge the current situation. He could no longer bear it.

The profits from the gold mines would be meaningless unless they far outweighed the losses of the war.

It was at this time that Ryan's voice came to mind.

"Throw glue!"

Hundreds of natives of the Grey Eagle tribe appeared with wooden barrels. When it came to throwing glue, they were more skilled at it, and they threw barrels one after another. There were no soldiers belonging to Baron Ryan on the battlefield, so naturally they didn't have to worry. They just had to throw it at the Unicorn Wolf at a rough angle.

The unicorn flying wolf is huge, so it is relatively easy to hit.

As barrels of gum fell, a small part of the Flying Wolf Cavalry on the battlefield finally remembered their memories from not long ago and urged the unicorn flying wolf to struggle frantically.

But they were only a small part after all. Most of the Flying Wolf Cavalry had no idea what this thing was. When the gum liquid spilled, the battle would only end in tragic death if it continued.

Gum can stick to anything that contains moisture. For a moment, the battlefield was in chaos and many soldiers were even injured by their own weapons.
