Throne of the North.

Chapter 111 Loyalty to Whom
The war was over. Ryan's army of 1,500 captured nearly 3,000 soldiers and marched towards Lord Kalam's territory.

The lord was so frightened that he showed his loyalty to Christian.

"Rag has no more soldiers. I don't think he will leave Lingdu City."

"We can't take that city."

After Ryan finished speaking, Christian became anxious.

"If he doesn't come out, how can we take back my title?"

"The next war will no longer be a military war."

Ryan looked at Christian.

"As a noble, we can also gain victory in politics."

After saying that, Ryan looked at Lord Kalam and another Lord Plant.

"My Lords, do you think it is correct for Viscount Miles to make Rag the new Viscount?"

The two lords shook their heads frantically at this moment; they were indeed terrified.

"Christan is the real Viscount Miles. Rag shamelessly stole the glory of the Miles family. The Viscount of the Empire must not be desecrated. We stand under the glory of justice. Even gods must retreat."

"Lord Kalam, you are a lord and noble of Viscount Miles' family. Please invite those nobles to come in your name."

Ryan looked at Karam, who had a bitter expression but nodded.

"Don't worry, my army will go with you."

After watching Lord Kalam leave, Ryan took Christian to the place where the soldiers of Miles' army were imprisoned.

There was no such a large prison in the lord's territory, so the detention of these thousands of soldiers was actually quite lenient. But as long as Castor and a few knights were kept under watch, these soldiers would not resist.

Seeing Ryan and Christian coming, the soldiers showed awe and fear in their eyes.

They knew who they had lost to, and now feared Ryan's trial and execution of them.

"The soldiers belonging to the Earl of Weiss, stand on the left, and the soldiers belonging to Viscount Miles, stand on the right."

Ryan's voice divided the captured soldiers into two groups, each with about 1,300 to 1,400 people, and Ryan looked to the right.

"From the moment you were born, from the moment you became a soldier, you swore allegiance to the Miles family and the master of the Miles family. You are soldiers of Viscount Miles' territory."

"You have all grown up hearing about Miles's glory. In that city, Viscount Miles's prestige is revered and respected by all of you."

"But at the same time, I believe that a long time ago, you were ecstatic about the birth of Viscount Miles's eldest son, Christian Miles, and you cheered the birth of the successor to the master you were loyal to."

"From that moment on, Christian's name became a name that would echo in the hearts of each of you. They all knew that he was Miles' future master, the next ruler of this vast territory."

"You firmly believe that under his guidance your life will become better, you will not be attacked by the harsh winter, and you will be rich and warm."

“But you’ve never heard that the master of the Miles family would be Rag!”

"You have known this a long time ago. For decades, you have always believed that Christian Miles will become the next Viscount of the Empire and the Sheriff of Lingdu County!"

"It was never that Rag!"

"Why! You are now fighting for a lord who should not be the heir?!"

Ryan roared, looking at the soldiers and yelled:
"Tell me, who are you fighting for?"

Some of the soldiers had blazing eyes, and were actually inspired to fight and die. "I fight for Miles! I am loyal to the Viscount!"

"But who is the real Viscount?"

Ryan stared at the young man and questioned him.

"You are loyal to the Miles family, but Miles' master is not the master you think he is, right?"

"I……"

The young man lowered his head.

For these low-level soldiers, they were all shocked when they heard that Master Rag had become a viscount. However, it didn't matter who they served before, Master Rag was still a noble lord standing above them.

But now facing Ryan's questioning, it was different.

Ryan looked at Christian, who stood up.

"I am Christian Miles, your monarch. Rag has deceived you and everyone and stole the title that belongs to me. At the same time, he has shamelessly imprisoned our father, the great 16th Viscount of the Miles family."

"I need your loyalty to help me take back what belongs to me and defeat that shameless thief."

Ryan's voice rang out again, and he looked at the soldiers coldly.

"Christan Miles is your master. Now, it's your turn to make a choice. Will you serve the fake and shameless Rag or the real Viscount Miles?"

"You all know who the successor of Viscount Miles has been in these decades!"

There was constant commotion among the soldiers, but eventually some of them knelt down and bowed down before Christian.

"Harrington!"

Looking at the soldiers who were still unwilling to react, Ryan roared, and Harrington behind him rushed out with fully armed soldiers, and the sharp swords caused blood to splatter.

"Mr. Christian, you won't blame me, will you?"

Looking at the dead soldiers, Ryan spoke in a voice so low that only two people could hear it.

At this moment, Christian was already looking at the soldiers kneeling in front of him with burning eyes. He had only seen this scene when his father was in command. He even felt that Ryan had not killed enough people who did not obey him.

"Baron Ryan, you are right, thank you for helping me clean up the traitors."

Ryan smiled without saying anything. In this short period of time, the number of people killed by Harrington was comparable to his previous achievements on the battlefield. The army of 1,300 to 1,100 people was reduced to 1,100 people.

"You are soldiers. Remember the oath you took today. You are the future knights of the Miles family. You will be loyal to your choice."

"Mr. Christian, I leave this to you."

Ryan looked at Christian, who was still immersed in the excitement of having power in his hands. He finally reacted after hearing Ryan's words.

"Don't worry, Baron Ryan. I will have my soldiers watch over the prisoners."

The situation changed instantly. The people who were originally guarding the soldiers became Viscount Miles's army, and the only ones being guarded were the more than a thousand soldiers belonging to Castor.

Christian had never thought of this day before. He used to look down on these soldiers, but now, he wanted to stay with these soldiers forever and enjoy their words of loyalty.

But two hours later, Ryan still called Christian over.
