Throne of the North.

Chapter 177 The Changing War

Red Wing Plain.

Legend has it that there were once groups of pterosaurs who regarded this place as their home. Whenever the winter was cold, they would fly from the distant north to the red-winged apes in the south to lay eggs.

Of course, this is a legend from before the Pan-Dimensional War of Gods.

Hongyiyuan was not red before, but this year, with the arrival of the army from Leiyun County and the battle with the army from Beifeng County, the land here was gradually stained red with blood.

Viscount Hogg arrived here in a majestic manner and met Count Weiss in the big tent.

"Mr. Earl, are you looking for me? You know the distance from Longshan County to here is not short."

"Viscount Hogg, a few days of delay shouldn't be a big deal for you, right? After you return, with your ability, you can easily capture Greystone Castle."

Count Weiss's eyes were a little cold, but Viscount Hogg's voice was also unfriendly.

He was also a noble, but his title was a little lower, which did not mean that he was a retainer or slave of Count Weiss.

"My Lord Earl, at your request, I am preventing the troops of Lingdu County from attacking you from behind, so as to prevent the army in Longshan County from being annihilated."

"I have accomplished my mission, but the Earl still seems dissatisfied?"

"If you think I've been slacking off in the war, I'll withdraw from the war right now with my soldiers. My territory has also entered the spring ploughing season. Without these 3,000 people, the pressure this year will be great."

"The nobles of Yinchuan County were already somewhat dissatisfied with me. I am still very curious about how you, Lord Earl, convinced the nobles of Leiyun County to support you in starting this war?"

Indeed, this was not only the answer that Viscount Hogg was curious about, but other nobles in the North Wind Province were also very curious.

At present, only the nobles in Leiyun County have not voiced opposition to the war. The other counties are almost all complaining and unwilling to start a war.

"Humph!"

Viscount Hogg's eyes were cold, and he wanted to say something harsh, but he didn't say it out loud.

After a moment, he could only look at Viscount Hogg and say:

"Viscount Hogg, you have been in the Golden Knights for a long time, right? To become a Sky Knight, you need a lot of resources. Have you ever thought that if we lose this war, you will get nothing?"

After saying this, without waiting for Viscount Hogg to react, Earl Weiss waved his hand, and a soldier carried in a three-meter-long metal box. As the box was opened, a burst of cold air gushed out, and then ten potions and three frozen objects were placed in front of the two men.

"A complete set of the Knight's Potion 'Sword of the Centaur', once known as the most perfect Knight's Potion in the Andara Kingdom, was created by the legendary wizard 'Wild'. There are only less than ten copies stored in the Andara Kingdom's royal room."

Weiss picked up the frozen object, it was a crystal, but inside the crystal, it seemed like a golden ocean was sealed.

"The alchemical creation 'Golden Coast' is the most valuable medium for blood and qi. According to legend, it can simulate the waves of the sea, helping the Golden Knights to temper their blood and qi and physique, and giving birth to sky fighting spirit that is comparable to the tides."

After saying that, he picked up the second frozen object, which was a bottle forged from gems.

"This contains ten thousand pounds of giant's blood."

Viscount Hogg could also recognize the third frozen object, a specialty of the Vatican, the Holy Water of Dawn. There was only one drop of it, but it could bring a person back from a near-death state.

Count Weiss looked at Viscount Hogg.

"Do you think these things can help you break through to become a Sky Knight?"

"You should know that the worlds below and above the sky are two completely different things. If you want to lead an extraordinary army, you absolutely cannot do it without the power of the Sky Knights." "If you win this war, you will get these things. If you lose the war, you will get nothing."

The metal box was sealed and the soldiers moved it away, but Viscount Hogg seemed unable to take his eyes off it.

The value of these things is at least three hundred thousand, if not five hundred thousand.

Because each one of them is what the Golden Knight dreams of.

"What do you want me to do? I can't defeat Baron Ryan without infantry."

"The troops he brought with him are all elite troops from Lingdu County."

"Then bring all your soldiers to me, and let's deal with that old guy from the Sauron family first!"

There was hatred in Earl Weiss's eyes. If the Sauron family was willing to stand on his side, there wouldn't be so much trouble now. Everything would have been ended last year.

Why is he so loyal to the empire when he is not a pure imperial citizen?
"The army assembled in Longshan County has more than 30,000 people, and there are 3,000 dragon blood warriors. The combat effectiveness of those extraordinary soldiers is even better than that of the barbarians under your command, right?"

Viscount Hogg said that as far as he knew, including his own more than 2,000 infantrymen, the number of troops deployed by Earl Weiss in Longshan County was only 20,000.

The reason why the advantage in the war is still there is purely because Count Weiss ordered his soldiers to rush forward regardless of their lives, fiercely suppressing the momentum of those armies.

He didn't know how Count Weiss won the war.

"I have my own way."

The rift between Earl Weiss and Viscount Hogg made him no longer fully trust the Viscount of Yinchuan County.

And the other side.

Ryan also received a letter from Count Sauron at about the same time.

It expressed regret over the burning of food, and also explained to Ryan that Baron Solis and other nobles did not have more food to supply the army.

Finally, Ryan was invited to lead the army to the main battlefield to expel Earl Weiss.

Ryan wanted to pretend he didn't see it, but after waiting for two days without any news from Viscount Hogg, he knew he had to react.

Viscount Hogg was no longer his enemy. As one of the coalition forces of the North Wind Province, he could no longer stay in the territory of Solis. After all, he still had to stay in the circle in the future.

What's more, now Viscount Hogg has also gone to the front line, and there will be no benefit if he doesn't go.

"Tell Lord Count Sauron that we will arrive at the front line soon."

Ryan didn't know why both sides made such a decision. The war that could have lasted for several months unexpectedly wanted to be resolved through a decisive battle.

If he were to guess, he could only think of one answer, and that was food.

No matter which noble had the food, after the snowstorm passed, no one had any more food.

The people under Count Weiss should not be optimistic either. At present, it seems that there are problems in the other dimension world he controls. In addition, the barbarians are big consumers of food and consume much more than the knights.

"Or... do both sides think they have the means to defeat the other side once and for all through a head-on confrontation?"
