Throne of the North.

Chapter 35: The Battle of the Extraordinary Legion (Part )

Earl Winter shook his head after hearing what Viscount Landa said.

"not enough."

"That old guy is as greedy as a dragon. It won't be easy to impress him."

He was talking about Count Sauron, but at the same time he also told Viscount Landa that what he wanted must not be less than Count Sauron.

"One million gold coins, plus three hundred thousand kilograms of refined iron."

Landa stared at Earl Winter and said, one million gold coins, this is the only amount of start-up capital that the Empire allocates to the North Wind Province every year.

Three hundred thousand kilograms of refined iron is also valuable, but for the mineral-rich North Wind Province, this transaction seems normal.

Earl Winter looked at Viscount Landa and asked, "Do you know how much gold coins my Winter family spends on the army every year, especially on those Flying Wolf Cavalry?"

"If one of them dies, do you know how many gold punks I will lose?"

Earl Winter was really angry. Viscount Landa was only willing to give him one million gold coins and 300,000 kilograms of fine iron.

"Six hundred thousand gold coins, plus 150,000 kilograms of wrought iron."

Viscount Landa lowered his conditions instead, and he stared at Earl Winter.

"I will give you 600,000 gold coins and 150,000 wrought iron in each county. I will persuade the remaining counties, but I don't know whether Viscount Hogg in Yinchuan County, the southernmost county, will give it to you."

The seven counties in the North Wind Province have at least four million gold coins each. This number made Earl Winter silent.

Even though the empire gives them one million gold coins for development every year, this one million is to be distributed to every noble in the province, and not much will fall into the hands of him, the Earl Governor.

Together with the taxes from North Wind City in the territory of Earl Winter's family, the amount of gold coins they can earn each year is only around one million. When the market is good, they can earn more, but when the market is bad, they have to buy food from the south.

This is because he is the governor. If he didn't have the status of governor, his income would be reduced by at least 200,000 or 300,000 gold coins.

More than four million, divided between him and Count Sauron, is also a huge income, which can further improve his Flying Wolf Cavalry Corps. The life potions sold by the Imperial Chamber of Commerce are incredibly expensive.

On the edge of the empire, strength is king.

"I'll give you three days to get those lords to sign the contract. As for Viscount Hogg... you don't have to worry about it."

Earl Winter knew a huge secret: Viscount Hogg's ancestor was an illegitimate son of Grand Duke Meyers' family.

It’s just that 600,000 gold coins are missing.

"I will have them sign it, but the Black Goat Warriors must be annihilated. I don't want to see you receiving millions of dollars again next year."

"Don't worry, the integrity of the nobles will guide us to victory."

Lord Winter said confidently.

Three days later, Count Winter's Flying Wolf Cavalry and 50,000 troops, as well as Count Sauron's Dragon Blood Warrior Heavy Armored Corps and 3,000 cavalry, marched towards Golden Wheat County, where the Black Goat Man's Warrior Corps had already arrived.

Another half a month passed, and when the orc army began to attack the Golden Wheat County City, the armies of the two earls finally arrived at the battlefield.

The war between an orc army of more than 300,000 and a human army of nearly 100,000 made many soldiers tremble in fear on the battlefield.

But such soldiers were destined to die on the battlefield. Three thousand flying wolf cavalrymen flew in the sky like ferocious birds, and five thousand dragonblood warriors in heavy red armor formed a square formation and rushed towards the black goatmen in the center of the orc army.

"Hahahaha, these stupid humans have been fooled!"

In the center of the orc army, a three-meter-tall black goat leader riding the most majestic goat mount laughed loudly, and the fine teeth under his ferocious face also emitted a cold light.

"Charge! Kill all these humans and the Northern Wind Province will be ours!"

Tens of thousands of Black Goat Men and seven or eight thousand Black Goat Men warriors rushed towards the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion without any rules. No matter how smart the orcs were, they were all controlled by bloodthirstiness during the battle.

In just one minute, the dark army of orcs rushed to the front of the dragonblood warriors. The collision of blood and flesh caused roaring dragon roars to be heard in the sky.

Under the might of the dragon, the walking black goat men following behind the black goat men were all extremely terrified, and the black goats under the black goat warriors were trembling even more, and many of them even knelt down directly.

On both sides of the battlefield, the orcs were the most affected by the dragon's might, but there was also quite a bit of unrest among humans as well.

At this moment, the power of the extraordinary legion,
"kill!"

The cold light pierced into the bodies of the Black Goat Man warriors at the tips of the spears. However, many of the Black Goat Man warriors, who were bleeding, did not lose their fighting power. Instead, they lost their minds because of the blood, and gained even more violent power.

They rolled off their mounts, but even when standing on the ground, the two scimitars in their hands pierced sharply into the gaps in the armor of the dragon blood warriors in front of them.

Black air permeated the bodies of many black goat men, and the dragon blood warriors in their hands were equally violent. The apprentice knights actually burst out with power comparable to that of official knights.

The number of Black Goat Warriors was greater than that of Dragon Blood Warriors, and the Black Goat Warriors at the back had not lost their mounts. They quickly surrounded the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion, but at this good moment, the Flying Wolf Cavalry in the sky, which was affected by the dragon's might, also got rid of the negative effects.

One after another, flying wolves with huge horns fell from the sky with huge impact force, and their sharp claws easily tore the flesh and blood of the black goat men.

The knights riding on the back of the Flying Wolf held spears that were one or two times longer than their entire bodies, and the enormous force directly pierced through these Black Goat Man warriors.

After a few breaths, Flying Wolf and his cavalry flew into the sky again. This was their biggest advantage. When to start the fight was decided by those of them flying in the sky.

It can be said that the Flying Wolf Cavalry's restraint on the Black Goat Man Warriors is fatal, because no matter how agile the orcs' hands and feet are, they are no match for humans. Those orcs who are torn into the sky by the flying wolves do not need any more means, they can be smashed to death by being dropped down.

They couldn't catch the Flying Wolf Cavalry.

Earl Winter was well aware of this, which was also the reason why he was willing to send troops directly. He believed that his Flying Wolf Cavalry would not suffer many casualties.

On the battlefield, the fighting between the three extraordinary legions was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Their strength was several times that of ordinary soldiers, so that other ordinary orcs and human slave soldiers around them did not dare to approach at all. Many nobles were excited when they saw it.

"If I also had such an extraordinary army..."

Every noble had this thought in his mind.

However, just when everyone was fantasizing, the Flying Wolf cavalrymen who had flown into the sky and were not yet ready to charge down for the second time, fell from the sky one by one, and screams were heard on the backs of the Flying Wolves.

Some powerful nobles saw that on the backs of the falling flying wolves, there were blue shadows leaping lightly and then flying towards the distance of the battlefield.

Those figures had blue cat heads, but their limbs were more coordinated than any orcs, and they even had a slender rapier on their backs.

"Assassin? Cat-man?"

Some nobles exclaimed that there were cat-man assassins among the orcs in the North Wind Province. How could such a terrifying and extraordinary assassin exist among this group of weak cat-men?
