Throne of the North.

Chapter 29 The Bronze Knight
Ryan never expected this to be the answer.

Thirty years ago, the Clayton family was part of an effort to prevent Grand Duke Mayes from gaining the ruling authority and status in the North Wind Province, which even resulted in no descendants of the Mayes family being granted fiefdoms in the North Wind Province to become nobles.

For this reason, it was natural that the nobles who followed Grand Duke Mayes were unable to obtain all the credit and wealth they deserved.

Therefore, Viscount Miles's ill will towards Ryan was well-founded.

"If that's the case, then they brought me to the North Wind Province to become a fiefdom baron, and they didn't even think about keeping me alive."

At this moment, Ryan seemed to have finally found the tail of the assassin who assassinated him.

Although Grand Duke Meyers did not obtain any territory in the North Wind Province, but now in this North Wind Province, which noble has no relationship with Grand Duke Meyers?

Most of the pioneer knights were once soldiers of Grand Duke Meyers.

"Am I someone who was pushed forward by the nobles of the Empire to appease the anger of Grand Duke Meyers?"

Ryan thought maliciously. He felt that every place in Lingdu City was filled with unruly people who wanted to murder him.

How could the noble be safe and sound? If the original body had not died, would he have traveled through time?
Others are safe, but as a baron of the Clayton family, it is absolutely impossible for him to integrate into the circle of the North Wind Province.

Everyone seems to be the mastermind behind the assassination.

Even Viscount Miles, who is closest to him, is a very likely candidate.

He has the energy to place assassins in the mountains and forests heading towards the Frozen Territory.

Thinking of this, Ryan found Irina and asked her if she could prepare things faster.

Running away is the safest option.

Despite the haste, it still took two and a half days. Ryan even spent gold coins to buy a group of oxen and horses to pull carts. Then a group of hundreds of people set out on their journey home.

But this time, Ryan and a group of soldiers had already mounted their horses and were completely separated from the others.

"How are these war horses?"

Ryan asked Brand and the remaining knights and attendants.

"Much better than those pack horses."

Brand stroked his warhorse happily. After getting these warhorses, Ryan rewarded his guardian knight immediately. This best warhorse now belonged to him completely and totally.

As for the others, the ownership of the war horses under them still belongs to Ryan, and will only completely belong to them when they are rewarded in the future. They only have the right to use them now, but it is enough to make them ecstatic.

Can a knight without a mount be called a knight?
There is also a saying on the mainland that if a knight has a mount, the possibility of a breakthrough is greater.

This... was absolutely correct, because on the third day, when the team reached the frozen swamp, Brand's aura became much deeper.

"Are you sure you're ready?"

Ryan looked at Brand seriously and said, "You only have one chance."

"My Lord, Brand will definitely not let you down."

Brand knelt on one knee in front of Ryan. The soldiers standing around him were also solemn. They were alert to their surroundings and also looking at Ryan.

With a point of his finger, the three hundred spirits disappeared, and were replaced by a blood-red miniature deer that sank into Brand's brow.

At the same time, Brand began to shake the qi and blood in his body, and the aura on the surface of his body became particularly terrifying.

The second blessing could be 100 spiritual power or 300 spiritual power. Ryan chose the highest level without hesitation. The spiritual blessing could not directly allow Brand to break through to the Bronze Knight. This step needed to be done by himself.

But the effect of spiritual blessing is equivalent to the life potion that Knight Water took at the beginning. No, it can even be said to be better than the life potion.

In Ryan's opinion, such a blessing from the Deer Spirit is equivalent to the best potion needed by a formal knight to break through to the Bronze Knight. At this stage, there is no more valuable means than this blessing.

Coupled with Brand's ability to adapt to the Deer Spirit Breathing Method, Ryan didn't think there was any possibility of failure.

Sure enough, half an hour later, circles of blood-red air surrounded Brand, and tiny cracks appeared on the frozen ground.

Knight's fighting spirit, the symbol of the Bronze Knight. At this point, Brand is no longer limited to simple techniques. He will be able to use his fighting spirit to activate some powerful combat skills.

such as……

"Fearless Guardian!"

There were faint traces of blood-red airflow on Ryan's body, and not only on him, but also on the surrounding soldiers. But at the same time, they all felt that their blood and energy were converging towards Brand.

But the ones that were truly unreserved were the war horses, whose blood and energy were much more vigorous than that of human knights.

Originally this might be a combat skill that consumes a huge amount of energy, but with the help of the warhorse, Brand was able to maintain it easily.

"Agile steps."

A phantom appeared under Brand's feet, and Ryan even saw that he was able to jump on the leaves that had not yet fallen to the ground.

boom! ! !
Finally, the knight's sword fell on the hard ground, leaving a large pit with a diameter of about one meter.

The swampland to the north of the Borean Province was frozen in the cold winter, but the ground was very hard. The surrounding soldiers and slaves could not imagine how they would die if such a force fell on them.

"My Lord, I have fulfilled my mission."

Brand knelt on one knee in front of Ryan, his eyes firm.

"Okay, hahahaha, my territory finally has a bronze knight."

Ryan was also very happy and immediately announced that the first set of armor forged after returning would be given to Brand.

In his opinion, as a baron, it is normal for him to have at least one bronze knight, and the silver knight is considered the top one.

After hanging out with a baron like Baron Hutton for so long, I almost forgot what kind of strength a baron should have.

Thinking of this, Ryan looked at the soldiers.

"If anyone among you can be the first to break through to become a formal knight, I will also give you armor and swords, as well as knight lances."

"In the frozen land territory, the first ten knights who break through will receive armor, as well as their own houses and fields."

"Long live the lord!"

The cheers of the soldiers also inspired the slaves, as if heading to the Frozen Territory was not a bad outcome?

After crossing mountains and forests again, Ryan finally decided to build a road next year. Otherwise, Irina, the big-breasted girl from Blade Rose, would definitely not lead the Chamber of Commerce into the Frozen Territory.

As for this year? We'll see next year.
