Throne of the North.

Chapter 32 Acting Skills
In fact, as the governor of the North Wind Province, Earl Winter has the final say.

He could order all the nobles' armies to assemble, and he had the final say on how to fight.

But it is obvious that Count Winter did not want to take responsibility for the orcs' migration south, and he called out two people to take the blame.

When the orcs return to the North, the lords and nobles of the ravaged territories will naturally resent the person who proposed the plan.

For example, Viscount Hogg, and Earl Winter could stand up at that time, mediate the conflicts among all parties, and make a fortune from it.

Just like thirty years ago, in the political struggle of the empire, even Grand Duke Meyers could not enter the Borean Province, but he, Count Winter, finally became the governor of the province.

"Now that we have decided on a plan, let's go back and prepare. The sooner we build our defenses, the more orcs we can kill."

Earl Winter said with a smile that he was not worried at all about the orcs moving south, because both his own territory fortress and North Wind City were as stable as Mount Tai. If things really didn't work out, he could exercise his power as governor to ask for support from the surrounding nobles.

In fact, no one mentioned a single thing during this meeting.

……

"If I remember correctly, the Empire allocates one million gold coins to Beifeng Province every year to allow the nobles of Beifeng Province to rebuild the fortress on the Xiangshan Plain?"

"When Grand Duke Meyers conquered the Northern Wind Province, he proposed to move the garrison of the Winged Canyon to the Fragrant Mountain Plain, saying that the Winged Canyon was no longer the frontier of the empire, but the Fragrant Mountain Plain of the Northern Wind Province was."

"But thirty years have passed...there is not a single dirt mound left on the Xiangshan Plain."

In the Frozen Territory, even if Ryan was excluded, Viscount Miles and Lingdu County would give him a result and news.

At the same time, Viscount Dragun also sent someone to prevent Viscount Miles from failing to do his job.

"Thirty million gold coins, and I haven't even seen a single one."

"This Earl Winter, isn't he a bit too greedy?"

Ryan knew, of course, that it was impossible for Earl Winter to be the only one who swallowed the gold coins; those nobles probably all had a share.

In Ryan's opinion, neither active attack nor passive defense is a good choice. Those lords always put their own interests first and then think about how to fight.

But what does this have to do with me, the Frozen Baron?

Ryan dropped the arrangements in his hands, and Viscount Miles asked him to send 500 soldiers to Lingdu City to participate in the defense.

Ryan walked out of the study and looked at Viscount Miles's men who were waiting. He couldn't help but sighed and said:

"Go back and tell Viscount Miles that he is not unaware of the situation in the Frozen Territory. When I came to the Frozen Territory last year and passed through Lingdu City, there were only ten soldiers and an old butler who could not walk with me."

"What can I use to defend Lingdu County?"

"Baron Ryan, I am following the order of the county governor, requiring every lord in Lingdu County to send troops to establish a defense line."

Ryan was not too afraid of him. It was obvious that he had received orders before coming.

"The county governor has issued an order from Lingdu County in the Northern Province of the Empire that every noble must not shirk the order to fight against the orcs."

"But it's not that I don't want to, but there aren't that many people in the Frozen Territory."

Ryan said, then gritted his teeth.

"How about this? I'll let three hundred, no, two hundred slaves..."

Before Ryan finished speaking, Derren rushed in from outside the door with a nervous look on his face, his body even covered in blood.

"My Lord, it's bad. We found a tauren army in the north. There are so many of them that we can't hold on any longer."

"what?"

Ryan was shocked, then looked at Deren with anger on his face.

"Why don't you quickly take all the soldiers from the Baron's Castle, no, take all the slaves over to stop the orcs? What are you still standing there for?"

"If an orc breaks into my territory, I will chop off your head." "Yes, I'll go right away."

Deren ran out quickly, and then Ryan saw Rosen rushing in quickly.

"My Lord, we found a group of hyena people in the foothills to the west. There are about 500 of them. They seem to be coming towards us."

"Go find Brand."

This is not an arranged event, so it must be true.

After saying this, he looked at the man belonging to Viscount Miles.

"As you can see, the frozen land is the closest place to the orcs. I request the governor to send troops to help me protect the territory."

In the end, this man returned to Lingdu City with Ryan's 500 gold coins donated by others.

After sending that person away, Ryan looked at another one.

Wulf Dragun, a member of Viscount Dragun's family, was only a distant relative.

"Viscount Dragun wants me to send troops to support him?"

"That's what the Viscount said."

Wolfe said respectfully:
"The defense line established by Viscount Miles in Lingdu County is actually centered on Lingdu City and connects the surrounding fortresses. The Viscount's territory is not directly behind the defense line, so the Viscount wanted to lead his men to establish the defense line."

"My master said that Baron Ryan is a friend of Viscount Dragun's family."

Friends? Ryan smiled inwardly.

"But as you can see, my territory is not peaceful either. I can see orcs almost every day."

"The Xiangshan Plain is still some distance away from the Frozen Territory. Even if the orcs go south, there won't be many of them here."

"That's not up to you. You have to know that this time the Black Goat scouts have appeared in the Frozen Territory. Who knows if they are planning a sneak attack or have found a second way."

In the end, Wolfe also returned to Viscount Dragun's territory with Ryan's five hundred gold coins.

"This is ridiculous. You want me, who is in the most dangerous situation, to send troops to support you?"

There is nothing wrong with the nobles helping each other, but Ryan is really not sure whether a large number of orcs will appear in the Tundra Territory, because these days, traces of orcs can be found every day, and even the wild beasts are scared away.

"Kobold?"

Ryan walked out of the Baron's Castle, and then saw in the distance seventy or eighty soldiers escorting more than a hundred spotted dog-headed men walking towards Rhino Horn Mountain.

Hyena people are also a branch of dog-headed people. Ryan soon saw these alien orcs with dog heads, hairy bodies and dog claws at the foot of the mountain.

"Why are you here?"

Ryan asked, and the soldier who was holding down the dog-head had already punched it three times, making the dog-head dizzy.

"The master is asking you a question, speak up!"

After a busy conversation, Ryan roughly understood the whole story.

Back then, a group of hyenas came to rob the frozen land, but not only did they get nothing, most of them starved to death when they returned. They became a laughing stock among the orcs and were considered a disgrace by the hyena tribe.

This time they came to wash away the shame, but they didn't expect to be captured by Brand and his soldiers in a short time.

More than a hundred kobolds escaped, and now this batch is the unfortunate one.

"It's just right. The road will be repaired in two months. This group of orcs will only be able to do this."

"For now, carry me some wood."
