Throne of the North.

Chapter 87 "Justice" from afar

As night fell, a blazing fire was lit in the camp. Viscount Miles and a group of nobles who had joined him gathered in the gorgeous tent. It was obvious that many nobles were not used to this environment. If possible, they would rather stay in the warm beds in their own territories.

Unfortunately, in order to ensure victory, Viscount Miles asked them all to follow him to the battlefield.

"It's only July and it's already so cold."

Some nobles sighed, shook their heads, and hid in the tents, wrapping themselves tightly in bearskin cloaks.

"My Lord, Viscount Dragun's soldiers are beyond our imagination. He actually has 3,000 trained soldiers. Even if you own Lingdu City, you can't train so many soldiers."

Baron Evra spoke, and then he was greeted with several unfriendly glances from Viscount Miles.

In the eyes of several descendants of Viscount Miles, was this an expression of dissatisfaction with the Miles family not having so many soldiers?

"That's just what we imagined. The territory of the Dragun family has the richest mineral resources in Lingdu County. They sell the forged ironware to the south where there is a shortage of iron ore, and earn a lot of gold coins."

Baron Kendra said regretfully.

"But now, how can we win?"

Baron Evra spoke, silencing many nobles. Although they did not know much about military affairs, the knights under their command told them that if the same thing happened tomorrow, they would most likely lose the war.

Viscount Dragun has a more powerful army than theirs, which everyone has discovered today. Also, as for Baron Enzo, everyone now understands why Viscount Miles' second son lost so badly.

If it were them... these nobles would certainly not admit it.

"Don't worry, we will win."

Viscount Miles said, causing everyone to look over in surprise.

"Could it be that the Viscount still has some magic scrolls that he hasn't used up yet?"

Baron Evra said in surprise.

"You'll know tomorrow."

Viscount Miles did not continue speaking, and the other nobles could only guess on their own.

The arrival of the second day made the atmosphere in the Ice Peak Forest tense again. This time, Viscount Dragun was in high spirits. He decided to decide the ownership of the forest today.

"Let's drive that old man Miles back today, and then we will take over his city. It's time to change the governor of Lingdu County."

Wearing a noble robe, Viscount Dragun looked at his children.

"Enzo, you are a noble, so don't go to the battlefield today."

Baron Enzo shook his head and said:

"No, father, I want to gain my glory on the battlefield."

Dragun said nothing more after hearing this, as if as he said, Enzo was no longer just his son, but also a noble baron, a noble like him.

Just... a little too keen on fighting.

-

"Kill!"

"The glory of victory belongs to Dragun!"

"Kill all our enemies and we will have snow-white milk and airtight houses!"

On the battlefield, the soldiers of both sides charged fearlessly once again. The soil of the valley was stained with blood, and the reserve soldiers beside the two viscounts continued to fill the millstone of flesh and blood.

"My Lord Viscount, I can't hold on any longer!"

Beside Viscount Miles, a knight with blood on his armor returned and spoke to the elderly viscount in embarrassment.

"almost."

Viscount Miles looked at the sun in the sky, which was hanging high above his head.

"Send them a message."

Viscount Miles looked at his youngest son, Rag. "Yes, father."

The magic scroll was torn apart, and an illusory eagle flew away into the distance. Soon after, the light at the end of the distant world was gradually blocked by tall figures.

Looking at the dazzling thunder flag, many nobles opened their eyes wide.

"That's... Count Weiss's army!"

Evra and other nobles looked at Viscount Miles in horror.

"Viscount, you actually contacted Count Weiss!"

Viscount Miles looked at the noble and laughed.

"Why are you so shocked?"

"Earl Weiss is also a great noble in the Northern Wind Province. Now, the Earl is our friend. He will bring us victory and wealth."

Hearing this, the eyes of the other nobles also lit up.

Indeed, if we can win this war that is already on the verge of being lost, then... it is not impossible to give some to Count Weiss.

Rumble.

In front of the army coming from afar, the tall cans chopped down the trees with their axes, and soon cleared a complete passage.

Two thousand soldiers rushed to the battlefield in the valley, and the voice of the Silver Knight Artel Vess riding on a warhorse roared over the battlefield.

"Viscount Dragun, you have betrayed the friendship between nobles and launched a war against the nobles of the empire. In the name of Earl Weiss, I order you to withdraw your troops!"

"Count Weiss's army?"

Viscount Dragun looked at the sudden emergence of the army on the battlefield in shock, and the next moment he became extremely angry.

"That old man Miles actually handed over the wealth of Lingdu County to other people!"

He clenched his fists and drew out the knight's sword.

"Even if you are a count, you cannot rob our wealth. Soldiers, charge!!!"

The cavalry beside him charged towards the battlefield. Viscount Dragun, with bloodshot eyes, stared into the distance, as if he wanted to see the face of the old man Miles. On the battlefield, the strength of both sides began to pour towards Viscount Miles.

Enzo jumped off his horse and swung his sword forward, but a huge battle axe fell down and forced him to block it with his sword. However, his face changed drastically the next moment.

Looking at the 'giant' in front of him, whose head was two heads taller than his, Enzo was extremely shocked.

"Why is the power so terrifying?"

He clearly sensed that the opponent had no fighting spirit in his body, which meant that this was a warrior who was not even a bronze knight, yet he was stronger than him.

Under the pressure of the five tin cans around him, Enzo kept retreating, his arms were numb and trembling slightly.

"Lord Baron, retreat. These 'monsters' are too powerful."

The surrounding knight guards rushed over here desperately, trying to protect their lord, but they also faced attacks from other tall warriors.

The giant axe can even cut through trees, and even if the armor of these knights can withstand it, the huge force will make them lose all their combat effectiveness.

"We can't retreat!"

Baron Enzo roared with gritted teeth. Only he knew that in this war, he had already risked everything and given it his all.

"Keep killing!"

He roared loudly, but the next moment, a huge axe fell from above his head and deflected his knight's sword.

Seeing that the giant axe was about to hit him, Baron Enzo was extremely terrified at this moment. However, the next moment, a "short spear" as thick as a thumb flew over from somewhere and pierced straight into the neck of the "giant" in front of him.

Blood spurted on Baron Enzo's face. He turned his head and looked in the direction where the "short spear" came from. He saw a group of figures reining in their horses on the hillside above the valley on the side. The "short spear" was the sharp arrow shot from the longbow in the hand of the leading noble.

He stood with his back to the setting sun, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
