Throne of the North.

Chapter 114 The War Is Not Over
At the banquet to welcome Christian, besides the Viscount, the most eye-catching person was Ryan.

Everyone knew who helped Christian regain the Viscount's rights. Some of them even had connections with Ryan. In many divisions of interests, they actually stood on Ryan's side.

Ryan dealt with it all calmly.

He and his army rested in Lingdu City for three days. Early in the morning of the fourth day, Ryan found Christian.

The new Viscount already possessed a lot of majesty, and all his behaviors were similar to those of his father. There was nothing strange about it, as he had been imitating and trying these behaviors every day for decades.

In everyone's eyes, he is indeed more like a noble aristocrat than Rag. This is the result of Christian's decades of accumulation.

"My Lord Viscount seems to enjoy this right?"

"But our war is not over yet."

Christian frowned. Only three days had passed, and he no longer had the humility he had shown before towards Ryan.

"Ryan, we have won. I am a noble and will not break my promise. Maybe we can try to rest for a while."

"Rest? That's really what the Dragun family wants to see most."

Ryan looked at Christian with a smile and said:
"Have you forgotten who killed Viscount Dragun and the eldest son of the Dragun family?"

“No matter which family becomes Viscount Dragun, they need to go to war with the Miles family and seek revenge, so that they can secure the title of Viscount.”

"Everyone knows who killed their viscount, who killed their eldest brother."

"And now, you are their only enemy left."

Christian was somewhat helpless. His father had killed Viscount Dragun, and this incident had indeed caused a huge storm in the entire Borean Province.

This matter has even spread to the inner part of the empire. If the North Wind Province was not indeed a little too far away, the empire would have been shaken by it.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, Baron Ryan."

"It's us, all of us nobles."

Ryan said.

"Every noble needs to send an army under my command, including you, Viscount."

Christian nodded. He had no intention of refusing this.

"I will let the army obey your command. I believe you can bring us greater victory."

Ryan started a war again, not only to take advantage of the opportunity to control the entire Lingdu County, but also because of the land disputes among the nobles.

The emergence of the lord system has led to the outbreak of land conflicts. If they are not resolved, the entire Lingdu County will be in chaos, which is not what he wants to see.

Especially what he didn't want to see after he took control of Lingdu County.

As for Christian... Ryan believed that after he took away most of the troops, Lingdu County would not be peaceful.

This Viscount will sometimes need help from me.

After two days of rest, Ryan set out on the expedition again with an army of more than 3,500.

Compared with the previous times, this time he won every battle. Wherever he went, no noble could resist Ryan. In order to train the combat effectiveness of the army, when he encountered the territories of lords and barons, Ryan mostly arranged his soldiers to conduct large-scale battles.

The Dragun family has never been able to gather enough troops to fight Ryan. In the wars, those nobles who originally relied on Viscount Dragun have turned to Ryan one after another.

And there is no one in the entire Dragun family who can realize this. …

In Viscount Dragun's territory, Baron Enzo finally became furious when he saw his brothers who were still arguing and arguing over who would become the viscount.

The physical pressure of the Silver Knight crushed the table in front of him, and he drew out his knight's sword.

"The armies of Ryan and Miles are less than five days away from us, yet you are still arguing here and can't stop Ryan's army. Do you think it's up to you to decide who becomes the Viscount?"

"We want revenge. Whoever can avenge our father and elder brother will be the new Viscount!"

"We are about to face the Lord of the Frozen Territory who has fought two praised wars. If you lose, you will lose everything!"

"Enzo, what do you say we should do?"

Thorston Dragon asked with a gloomy expression. He, the second brother, had been under too much pressure these days.

"Organize the army, we need to win this war."

Enzo said in a deep voice.

"Since you said so, then go ahead. You should know that when my father was still alive, he always valued your military talent. Anyway, he would call you every time there was a war."

As Torston said this, he ordered Enzo to leave. With him here, all the brothers and sisters were under pressure.

Baron Enzo left without saying a word. Compared to the intrigue here, he hoped to vent his power in war.

The military strength of Viscount Dragun's territory has always been stronger than that of Miles, but in the previous decisive battle between the two viscounts, they also suffered heavy losses due to the existence of the rage potion.

So Baron Enzo approached Baron Kendra. This baron was now excluded from Dragun's faction, but the dozens of knights under his command forced Enzo to win him over.

In addition to the troops that gathered together because of fear of Ryan's army, some lords and barons, Baron Enzo gathered an army of more than four thousand people in just three days.

Of course, Baron Enzo knew very well that although he had a slight advantage in numbers, most of his soldiers were slaves and their combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as Ryan's.

"We are only playing defense. They have a lot of soldiers in the army. They won't be able to hold out for long."

"Also, Baron Kendra, you and Baron Roche will each lead an army to guard the two peaks."

Baron Enzo stationed his troops in the valley and then sent troops to the mountains on both sides.

"We won't take the initiative to fight. As long as we hold on, they will be defeated in half a month at most."

Enzo arranged the deployment of the troops in an orderly manner, and when Ryan's army arrived in front of them, Baron Enzo had arranged everything.

"It does look like it's easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Ryan said, and after resting for an hour, he ordered the soldiers to charge.

Of course, none of the soldiers in this charge belonged to him; they all belonged to those nobles.

Most of them were just slave soldiers. In Lingdu County, it was considered good if a baron could mobilize a hundred regular soldiers. Slave soldiers were still the main way of warfare.

Soldiers from both sides fought on the battlefield, and after leaving behind three or four hundred corpses, Ryan's army retreated in disarray.

"It's not a fancy thing."

Seeing this result, Ryan no longer arranged for people to go to the surrounding mountains to look for opportunities.
