Throne of the North.

Chapter 308: Civil War in the Kingdom
The descendants of the Fire Dragon are powerful because their bloodline has been bathed in the essence of divinity.

Looking at the woman kneeling in front of him and speaking meekly, Ryan no longer used force in his palms, even though many scars already appeared on the other person's body.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Ryan asked in a cold voice. He didn't think this woman had no purpose.

"Do it? Wait until I have rested enough before continuing."

Shaya Meyers said this, her eyes even a little tired and her throat a little dry.

She came to Ryan's side.

"I have no purpose. I just want to see what you can do. You won't chase me away, will you? My grandfather almost killed me in the Meyers family. In the palace, the emperor selector also tried his best to chase me away so that he could welcome his new woman. You won't chase me away too, will you?"

The woman said pitifully, Ryan sneered and left a new handprint on her chest.

"You don't think I'll believe it?"

"This is your territory, you can stay if you want."

"Perhaps, his father will wait for him to abdicate in the future and then inherit the title of Marquis of the North Wind."

The woman's eyes widened and lit up, and she chuckled:

"You're right. This way I can stay here forever. In this case, you can come here more often, right?"

She sat on it once again, making Ryan wonder if this woman had some other agenda, or was it… really like this?
……

In the Frozen Territory, Ryan wrote a letter to the Clayton family, and the delivery team went to the Calais Province to trade for a batch of supplies.

This is the case for every letter. Otherwise, the cost of sending someone to deliver the letter would be too high, and the Chamber of Commerce would not come to the North Wind Province at this time.

We still have to hurry up and build the road. Once the road is built and smooth, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally appear.

"Master, Apia is back."

After a moment, Ryan was surprised to see the fang key in Appiah's hand.

"That's what he said?"

Listening to Appiah's description, Ryan's eyes became deep and his hands involuntarily tightened on the armrests.

"Yes, Grand Duke McReynolds asked me to convey his goodwill to you."

Ryan nodded, and at this moment the joy of getting back the key to the other world disappeared a lot.

There is no need for the Grand Duke to have goodwill towards Baron Ryan for no reason.

"The war is about to begin."

I don’t know whether this scene was unexpected or expected.

"It's only been two years since the situation in the Andara Kingdom came to this point?"

"The conflict between the king and the grand duke turned into a civil war in the kingdom."

At this moment, Ryan wanted to go to the Andara Kingdom to see for himself. How could such a big kingdom be so easily derailed by a civil war?

Is it true that the contradiction here can no longer be resolved by political struggle?

Are the old king's descendants really that useless?

Will a temporary weakness cause the kingdom to split?
Ryan didn't understand, but he knew that the inside story was definitely not what it seemed on the surface.

But the ending is inevitable. War will break out in the Andara Kingdom, involving everyone.

"Build the road. We must hurry up and build the road!"

Ryan held the ferocious fangs and ran towards Thundercloud County.

Thousands of fully armed cavalrymen were galloping on the snow, and the nobles were terrified wherever they passed. Who was Baron Ryan going to declare war on?

"Help me contact all the nobles and tell them that the key has been returned."

On Thundercloud Mountain, the Marquis' mother had just opened her mouth to express her surprise at Ryan's return when she was interrupted by Ryan's cold voice.

He didn't know what this woman wanted to do, but for now, it was better to keep some distance.

"Baron Ryan is truly ruthless."

The woman curled her lips and turned away.

The return of the key to the other world made the nobles excited, so they arrived much faster. Within a day or two, the nobles either came in person or sent their own representatives.

"If I brought it back, it doesn't make sense for me to pay such a high price while you just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor."

Ryan's voice echoed in the hall of the Marquis's mansion. The nobles frowned, wondering what Baron Ryan was going to do next.

"I won't say much about how huge the wealth in the other world is. The importance of the key is self-evident."

"I don't have too many requests this time. The only thing is that the road to the Andara Kingdom that the Empire requires must be built as quickly as possible and at the highest cost."

"In order to ensure the completion of this task, each fifth-rank noble will give me one thousand gold coins as a deposit. After the road construction is completed, the money will be returned to you."

Ryan took out the key and made only one request, which was to speed up the construction of the road.

The nobles frowned at this, and Count Sauron unexpectedly showed up in person.

"Baron Ryan, once that road is built, will it really generate countless wealth as you said?"

"Of course!"

Ryan raised his head and said with great confidence.

If it returned to Ryan's hands, there would be no room for negotiation. His unyielding decision forced the nobles to agree to it.

This will have an impact on Baron Ryan's reputation, but there is no need to worry about this slight change now.

The portal to the other world opened wide. After more than two months, the nobles once again appeared in the other world on a large scale. Their appearance stabilized the other world that had been gradually becoming chaotic, and the mining was carried out in an orderly manner.

"Baron Ryan actually found a gold mine."

Outside the gate, the nobles watched as large boxes were moved out of the Frozen Territory. The magicians felt the active magic factors in the void, which was the rhythm brought by gold exposed to the air.

Ryan did not hide it, at least he did not hide it completely. He sent most of the gold mine into the other world, and the rest was transported out of the portal openly.

"It's just a small gold mine, not worth much."

Another hundred years later, the future Marquis's mother looked at the fang key. For some reason, she was unwilling to approach the portal to the mountain forest world.

The key will still remain on Thundercloud Mountain, after all, this is the Marquisate.

Ryan was waiting for the nobles to sign the contract. The road from the empire to the kingdom had to be built as soon as possible, not only for wealth, but also for the civil war in the kingdom that might break out soon.

……

……

In the southern border of the Andara Kingdom, on the plain adjacent to the Griffin Mountains, stands a towering city. Legend has it that giants participated in its construction, so the city is tall and strong.

The fortress is called Unicorn, and the name comes from the emblem of the Carlos family, a majestic golden unicorn.

The fortress is also the glory of the Carlos family, it is indestructible.

But today, this famous and undefeated fortress welcomed an enemy army of 100,000.

To the north of the fortress, dense swarms of soldiers flooded the farmland and caused panic in the troops in the fortress.

"The Kingdom's army is coming!"

The Carlos Family is a duchy that existed in the southern part of the Andara Kingdom after the Pan-Plane War of Gods. It does not belong to any kingdom or empire and is independent of this land as a noble territory.

Some people say that the Carlos family wants to establish a kingdom, but does not have the strength to suppress other noble lords.

The same reasoning applies to other noble territories. But the strength of the Carlos family is unquestionable. Each of their Kamikaze Corps can compete with the elves in archery.

It is said that the Carlos family now maintains close ties with the elves, and every year they are able to take over the precious specialties of the elves and sell them to the entire southern world, gaining endless wealth.

Their center of gravity was almost entirely in the south, for there was an impregnable fortress in the north that could defend against all malice from the north.

"indestructible?"

Otto McReynolds, wearing simple armor, looked at the towering fortress in front of him with a cold smile.

The surface of the armor swallowed up the surrounding faint light. The tiny scratches told of its glory, and also exposed the sunken marks, vaguely depicting a hideous word.

Madman.

Legendary Armor - Berserker, was born one hundred and twenty years ago during the destruction of a different world. In the final eruption of hundreds of active volcanoes, the legendary dwarf master craftsman used the ashes of the world to forge this armor.

What was forged was not a complete set of legendary armor. There were nine sets of armor in that batch.

The nine sets of armor had gone through fifteen years of plane wars and drank countless amounts of blood. Finally, at the moment when that world fell into the eternal winter in the north, the other eight sets of armor dimmed and cracked, but this one set burst out with endless blazing heat, completely sublimated into a legendary artifact.

The knight wearing this armor, as a sanctuary, fought against six legendary enemies for three days and three nights and finally died of exhaustion. Even after death, the armor could not be removed, so those legends named him Madman.

Sixty years ago, Grand Duke McReynolds traveled between planes with a legendary body and obtained this armor in the cold winter. Eventually, this armor became a collection of the Grand Duke of Griffin's family until the birth of his eldest son Otto.

It has a new owner.

At this moment, Otto, wearing this legendary armor, holding a heavy hammer, riding on the back of a majestic griffin, waiting for a signal.

Gradually, a breeze appeared on the plain. The breeze became stronger and stronger, until at one point it turned into a hurricane and swept towards the fortress ahead.

Dozens of gorgeous light beams appeared on the surface of the huge fortress, and magical secret patterns emerged on the surface of the fortress like tree roots, fighting against this legendary power.

"Grand Duke of Griffin! How dare you violate the agreement between the Kingdom and Carlos and attack us?!"

In the fortress, exclamations were heard from the Carlos family members. No one could remain indifferent when facing a legend, especially for the Carlos family which had no legends.

The hurricane collided with the magic formation, seemingly unable to break that powerful magic defense. However, only the magicians discovered in horror that all the strong winds that hit the fortress did not disappear after being broken, but swirled back to the sky outside the fortress.

The power of the Wind Emperor never disappeared, and even became stronger and stronger.

Until the sea of ​​clouds in the sky was also rolled up, and the twisted white clouds turned into a whirlpool. Everyone who saw this scene was horrified because the storm was gathering.

"Wind Blade!"

The legendary magic was completely formed in just half an hour. The storm in the sky was like a giant waving his fists, smashing madly on the barrier on the surface of the Unicorn Fortress.

The storm, with a speed of over two thousand meters per hour, was madly consuming the magic crystal reserves in the fortress, but as the storm became more and more terrifying, the consumption of magic crystals could not keep up with the power of the legendary spell.

It can be seen that there are also magicians in the fortress casting powerful spells, but compared with the Wind Emperor who has never even shown his face, these magicians seem too immature. Their magic cannot even tear open the layers of walls formed by strong winds outside the fortress.

In the fortress, magic beams shattered one after another, until the moment the last magic beam shattered, Otto raised the flag of Grand Duke McReynolds with one hand and let out a roar belonging to the Griffin Family.

"attack!"

Rumble, the mighty army of one hundred thousand launched a simple charge towards the fortress. Above the sky, the knights of the Griffin Legion were the protagonists and elite of this war. They descended from the sky and rushed directly towards the walls of the fortress.

boom--

The sky was pierced by a white beam of light, and three griffin knights fell from the sky. The huge griffin corpses knocked down a large number of soldiers.

Beams of light appeared one after another on the walls of the Unicorn Fortress. They were not the light of magic, but something sharp that was extremely fast and caused friction caused by the magic factors in the void.

"It's the World Crossbow of the Elf Empire!"

There were powerful knights roaring in the sky. He was still frightened when he saw the thirty crossbows formed by the natural growth of tree roots lined up on the fortress wall. The power of magic was gathering, making the crossbows even more terrifying. They were weapons specially designed to target powerful dragons, and at the moment they were a huge murderous aura for the Griffin Legion.

"Let the Griffin Legion retreat."

As the trump card of the Grand Duke McReynolds family, it would be a great pity if a Griffin Knight died.

Otto ordered that the Griffin Legion would no longer take off, and the 100,000 troops on the ground would first help them consume the resources in the Unicorn Fortress.

"attack!!!"

The griffin flag fluttered in the center of the army. Facing the world crossbow arrows falling from the sky, Otto smiled grimly, and then moved the sledgehammer in his hand!

boom! ! ! !

A deafening roar erupted in the sky several meters high, and more than thirty soldiers around were knocked to the ground by the huge force.

The waves dissipated, the dust cleared, and Otto stood on the back of a griffin with a sledgehammer in his hand. Not far away, the curved crossbow arrow sank deep into the ground, blasting a large hole at the other end.

"The power of this crossbow is no less than that of the dwarf's magic crystal cannon."

He said this with shock and admiration, but he did not see the crossbows on the city wall destroying the attacking ground troops, so he could not help laughing.

"It seems that you don't have much reserves."

"Used to fight against the Griffin Legion? If you don't want to use it, then don't use it!"

Otto pulled the reins, and the griffin under him spread its wings and flew. It was a powerful monster. At this moment, it was flying in the sky, bringing a strong wind that swept over the walls of the fortress. The crossbow arrows of the World Crossbow could threaten and kill other griffin knights, but it was difficult to lock on to Otto.

The griffin cried, and Otto bent his legs slightly. At a certain moment, he exerted force, and the griffin in the sky suddenly dropped several meters in height. Otto used the force to leap out, and hit the wall of the Unicorn Fortress like a huge stone.

Cracks appeared in the stone under his feet, and hundreds of soldiers surrounded him. The next moment, they kept flying out. Some lucky ones hit the outside of the city wall, fell dozens of meters down the wall, and collapsed into meat paste.

"come!!!"

He laughed loudly, swung his sledgehammer and rushed towards the nearest world crossbow with twisted tree roots. The terrifying force came down with the sledgehammer, and these elven creations broke instantly.

"The heir of the Griffin family!"

The roar of the knights was heard in the fortress. A holy domain descended and the knights swung their long swords towards Otto. The sword energy swept over like a wave. At this critical moment, the Mad Knight's armor burst out with a wild aura. A violent and powerful force emerged from Otto's body. He swung his heavy hammer, spun around and blasted towards the sword light.

A corner of the city wall collapsed. Blood flowed from the corner of Otto's mouth. He looked at the Holy Knight in the sky and laughed.

"The Carlos family's sanctuary doesn't seem as powerful as I imagined!"

"Today, I will let you see the power of your uncle Otto!"

With his muscles swelled and the Madman Armor on his body, Otto leaped into the sky and smashed at the Holy Knight with a sledgehammer in both hands.

"kill!"

"Kill!!!"

The ground was filled with heads. The siege tower was finally pushed in front of the fortress. The soldiers climbed upwards and were then hit by rocks.

boom!
The world crossbow in the distance changed direction and cut a siege tower in half. More than a dozen soldiers fell from mid-air and were pierced by spears in the hands of their own people. Many soldiers showed fear under the blood.

"No retreat! Attack, attack!"

The knights rode their war horses and galloped across the battlefield. At the moment, it seemed that they were more responsible for supervising the battle.

"For the glory of McReynolds, for the glory of the Griffins, attack! Attack!"

At the front, a team composed of hundreds of pure warriors guarded the siege vehicle, ramming into the gate of the Unicorn Fortress again and again.

Boom boom boom!
The army on the battlefield was attacking frantically, and the Unicorn Fortress finally realized the scale of the war at this time.

"The Kingdom and Carlos have a contract witnessed by the gods, McReynolds! What on earth do you want to do?"

"You betrayed your kingdom and your king!"

Above the sky, Grand Duke McReynolds calmly watched the war at Unicorn Fortress. The roar of Carlos's men echoed in his ears, but he remained indifferent.

From the moment the decision was made, the war was doomed.

He must capture the fortress before Carlos's Kamikaze Corps can react.
