Chapter 121 Thunder Giant
Ryan's expression was troubled.

"As you can see, Countess Winter, my territory does not have the strength to go on an expedition. Of course, I, Ryan, still detest Earl Weiss's behavior. I am willing to support Earl Winter with 20,000 gold coins."

"Baron Ryan is being modest."

Alevia said, and inadvertently, the air around them froze.

"As one of the seven counties in the Beifeng Province, Lingdu County has potential that we can hardly imagine. I believe that under the leadership of Baron Ryan, Lingdu County will be able to produce a powerful army."

"When the war breaks out..."

Alevia had just said half of her words when she suddenly turned her gaze to the distance. Ryan didn't know what he saw. He could only see that the Countess looked a little shocked, mixed with incomprehensible emotions.

After a long time, the countess came to her senses and said apologetically:
"Baron Ryan, regarding the matter between Earl Weiss and me, I believe you will always stand on the side of the imperial nobles. The Winter family will deepen communication with you in the future."

After saying this, the countess left without looking back.

She left in a hurry. Ryan saw clearly that the moment she left Rhino Horn Mountain, the Countess disappeared on the spot and had no intention of going back with her servants.

"What a terrifying power."

Behind Ryan, the voice of Mage Luna was heard. The tall golem puppet was trembling at this moment. She looked in the direction where the Countess disappeared with a longing look.

"She almost found me."

"An extremely powerful space mage among magicians."

Even a powerful mage like Luna could only hide in a rockery somewhere in the castle during these short hours or two. She dared not move at all, fearing that she would be exposed and become the opponent's experimental material. As a mage, she was still clear about her value at this moment.

"A space magician? Earl Winter is really lucky."

Ryan understood. No wonder the other party disappeared so easily.

"However, it seems that something went wrong with Count Winter, which is why the Countess left in such a hurry."

three days later.

Ryan learned about a major event that happened in the North Wind Province that shocked everyone.

Three days ago, when the Countess appeared in the Frozen Territory, Count Winter went alone to the highest mountain in Thundercloud County, the residence of Count Weiss. As a result, the most powerful knight in the North Wind Province was injured.

According to rumors from the nobles of Thundercloud County, if it weren't for the solidified space spell on the Earl's Knight armor, he would most likely have died in the Earldom of Weiss.

The one who caused all this was a giant, a thunder giant.

When hearing the name of the giant, all the nobles in the North Wind Province would have a gloomy look in their eyes.

The dead silence of winter caused by the Pan-Dimensional War of Gods has caused not only humans but also many alien races to flee south to the warm land.

Giants were once the most insane species. In the war a hundred years ago, more than half of the empire's extraordinary legions died in the war with the giants.

Although some extraordinary legions became famous throughout the continent because of this, no noble would forget those great nobles who collapsed before the giants.

From that time on, the power of the Extraordinary Legion was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and so was the terror of the Giants.

The most powerful extraordinary army is equal to giants.

The appearance of a thunder giant in Thundercloud County was enough to make Earl Weiss be called the most powerful noble in the North Wind Province.

He was once the only noble among the three earls who did not have a supernatural army, but now it is different. "There are also differences among giants, but the Thunder Giant can be said to be the most powerful bloodline. When this kind of giant reaches adulthood, it has a power comparable to that of a legend..."

Ryan felt a little toothache. In an instant, a legendary combat force appeared in the North Wind Province. How could people play the game?

As we all know, there are gaps between legends. Powerful legends can even easily enslave weak legends. However, legends and those below legends are two different species.

"Count Weiss was able to hide a giant."

Ryan was a little curious about where the other party found the Thunder Giant, or... he thought of the barbarians in the previous war.

In addition to the Thunder Giant, Count Weiss also has an extraordinary legion at his command, and there is definitely a lot of barbarian warriors under his command.

However, although this news could change the ecology of the entire North Wind Province, Ryan was not too panicked.

Earl Winter may not have the means to directly fight against legends, but as an earl's family and as a noble, he, as the Governor of the North Wind Province, can find ways to borrow the many forces in the empire that can fight against legends.

Even without considering these, the countess is a sanctuary wizard who controls space magic.

As the most powerful supernatural being among many supernatural systems, the magician is fully capable of killing the legend if given the Countess the opportunity and time.

The confrontation between high-end forces is not as absolute as imagined, and both sides are nobles, nobles of the empire, and it is even possible that the war will not reach that stage.

Of course, the premise of all this is that... Count Weiss or Count Winter's ambitions are not so extreme.

Isn't it extreme? The day after learning about the Thunder Giant, Ryan got the news again.

Count Weiss's army broke into Yinchuan County.

As the governor of the richest county in the North Wind Province, Viscount Hogg severely condemned the actions of Earl Weiss and set out to block the army of Earl Weiss.

Previously, the wars between counties were land disputes under the lordship system, but now, the wars between counties are the result of Earl of Weiss’s ambitions.

The nobles of Beifeng County and another Tieshan County close to Yinchuan County sent their troops to Yinchuan County, led by Earl Winter, to help Viscount Hogg's army resist the invasion of Earl Weiss.

Then five or six days later, a result that no one expected occurred.

Viscount Hogg's army and Earl Weiss's army simultaneously attacked the reinforcements on the battlefield. The nobles of Tieshan County suffered heavy losses, and the army, which had already been sharply reduced due to the land war, was completely defeated. North Wind County, including Earl Winter's Flying Wolf Knight Corps, also suffered tragic losses again, with more than three hundred Flying Wolf Cavalry killed.

"The two of them have already colluded."

"But it's not that hard to understand. If Earl Weiss wants to occupy the entire North Wind Province, he must guard against the regular imperial army in the Wing Canyon. Yinchuan County is the only passage into the North Wind Province..."

Ryan looked at the news in the letter in amazement. This came from a baron noble in Thundercloud County. The circle among nobles was not as big as imagined. Many nobles in North Wind Province had marriage relations. For example, the sister of Baron Marsh was Baroness Kendra.

The nobles would pass messages to each other, but when they arrived in Lingdu County, they would of course appear in front of Ryan.

It is not ruled out that someone is concealing something, but the nobles of Lingdu County have also felt the pressure from the North Wind Province through letters, and they are in great need of Ryan's military talents.

The cohesion is naturally enhanced as a result.

"Now, it depends on what Count Winter does. The governor didn't want to take any responsibility when the orcs went south, but now Count Weiss is affecting the governor's direct power."

"If we win, it's not impossible for Beifeng Province to change its governor on its own."
