Throne of the North.

Chapter 122: Count Weiss’s Background

Ryan was not that anxious, just like some other nobles in the North Wind Province, who were not that anxious either.

The biggest reason is that although Count Weiss has shown his ambition, he is still a nobleman.

He had not betrayed his noble identity, and even gave a reason for the outbreak of the war, saying that he was just conducting military exchanges with Viscount Hogg, and it happened that the troops of Tieshan County and Beifeng County invaded, and then...

In a blink of an eye, the reinforcements turned into invaders and the initiators of the war.

At the same time, Count Weiss was also shocked by the news of Ellis Dragun's assassination, and regretted the death of a noble. He gave the Dragun family a fortune of 100,000 gold coins as condolences, and stood on the noble's standpoint, declaring that he would assist the Dragun family in catching the murderer.

Of course, Earl Weiss would not admit the condemnation of other nobles. He even began to favor Viscount Miles and asked whether the Miles family had secretly trained assassins.

Indeed, Viscount Dragun was killed by Viscount Miles in public. Many nobles who did not know the reason would of course directly suspect the Miles family.

There was no evidence to point to Count Weiss, so it was difficult to punish him according to the rules of the nobility.

On the contrary, the Miles family will definitely be held directly accountable by the empire in the near future.

"Then, the Miles family became the scapegoat, and the initiators of the war became Earl Winter and Iron Mountain County. Earl Weiss legitimately started the war."

In Longshan County, Count Sauron looked at the message from Count Winter, then turned his head and looked at the message from Count Weiss on the other side.

He was considering who to help. Although Count Weiss had caused heavy losses to his own extraordinary army, the conditions offered by the other party were really tempting, and he also received a huge amount of compensation.

Count Sauron hesitated for a moment, and the powerful blood and energy turned the letter in his hand into ashes, and the old count walked out of the room.

In the garden, Count Sauron saw his eldest son, Feder Sauron.

"Did you just come back?"

Lord Thoron inquired, noticing the snow covering his eldest son.

Feder nodded and responded respectfully:

"Father."

"I'm going to distribute the soldiers' pensions for the second half of the year. This winter seems to be particularly cold, and their lives are somewhat difficult. I secretly turned some gold coins into winter supplies and gave them to them."

Upon hearing this news, Zoro's heart was once again filled with rage.

"Love!"

He finally made a decision and sent an envoy to Beifeng City that year.

……

"Humph!"

After Count Weiss learned of Count Sauron's choice, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Old thing."

He knew that his previous actions had offended the hot-tempered old man, but he was no longer the same person he was before, and he was no longer so afraid of the two earls joining forces.

"You asked for this."

After saying this, Count Weiss looked at his butler.

"The letters have all been delivered to those counties, right?"

The hunchbacked old man responded respectfully:

"Master, we have already sent it to Tieshan County, Hanshan County, and Lingdu County, but the nobles have not responded yet."

Earl Weiss nodded and said, "Don't consider Tieshan County for now. That group of guys lost so many soldiers. The honor of the nobles will not let them compromise with us. In addition, Tieshan County is the largest source of iron ore for the Winter family."

"In Hanshan County, send a group of slaves to Viscount Landa to help him cultivate the land and build Hanshan City. As for Lingdu County..."

Thinking of this, Count Weiss couldn't help but feel angry.

Originally, that county would also become his support. In that case, he would be able to have the support of three counties, excluding the abolished nobles of Hanshan County. He, Earl Weiss, would have half of the power of the North Wind Province. But who would have thought that a Frozen Soil Baron would appear halfway.

"Since Baron Ryan was able to defeat all the nobles in Lingdu County, he would not be as stupid as we thought before. It is understandable that the assassination attempt failed. He must know who tried to kill him."

"Young people are full of vigor and vitality. There is no need to think about it. All you need to do next is to communicate with Viscount Landa and ask him to support me."

The housekeeper couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked.

"Master, there are not many nobles and soldiers in Hanshan County. Why do you need them so much?"

"What do you know?"

Count Weiss looked at the old butler coldly.

"Hanshan County is a county in Beifeng Province. Viscount Landa has always been the county governor there. Even though so many nobles have died, no other nobles have entered Hanshan County to rob wealth and slaves for such a long time. This is because nowadays, that is the place where the imperial nobles pay the most attention."

"The nobles in the south sneered at the nobles in the north who were enduring the bitter cold, but they also sympathized with the nobles who suffered heavy losses and showed their kindness. What Viscount Landa said in the empire now is more convincing than the three earls."

Simply put, the remaining nobles in Hanshan County died in such a way that they gained more sympathy from the other nobles by playing the victim.

Count Weiss certainly needs the support of Viscount Landa. He only has a Thunder Giant and does not have the courage to restore his country and betray the empire openly.

But he needs a lot of wealth and resources to make himself stronger.

"Everything will end in war and surrender under thunder."

Count Weiss's eyes were determined. Now that the war had broken out, he would no longer hide.

A few days later, Count Weiss led an army of 30,000, especially the extraordinary legion composed of 6,000 barbarians, which shocked the entire Nordic Province. The army appeared on the edge of the Nordic Province, on a plateau with the largest canyon in the Nordic Province.

This is the border between two counties and is also the place with the broadest view in the North Wind Province.

The imminent threat of war once again made all the nobles nervous, but what shocked them even more was.

"Where did Count Weiss get his extraordinary army? Where did he get his food? Where did he get his life potion?"

Finally, Countess Winter gave the answer.

The pan-dimensional war of gods has two key factors, one is the gods, and the other is the pan-dimensional.

"Count Weiss has mastered some divinity."

"After Earl Weiss obtained divinity, he spent a huge amount of money and might even have hired a legendary wizard to solidify a portal."

"He has an alternate world plane as his support, and the Thunder Giant is hidden in it."

Ryan in the Frozen Territory was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

“I thought this was my patent.”

It is indeed a patent, because Countess Winter also said that even if one obtains divinity, it would cost an unimaginable price to solidify the door to the plane, and the other world space that is opened must belong to a world that has already died.

According to conservative estimates, the gold coins start at one million.

Ryan doesn't need to go through so much trouble.
