Chapter 389 Buy Food! Buy Food! The Earl Awakes

Standing on the mountain, watching the roar of the armored bears in the valley and the werewolves surrounding them, but the werewolves’ harmful means could not pose a fatal threat to the armored bears, and could only leave honor-like claw marks on those big guys, Chief Jag became a little irritable.

“Chief, let all the tribesmen come back, let’s kill these armored bears.”

Beside him, a burly werewolf said in a cruel voice that he had been angry for a long time and thought that as long as tens of thousands of werewolves overwhelmed these armored bears, they could kill these big guys.

“Our people are plundering humans’ supplies, and we can’t let them build those defensive buildings faster.”

“Abel, you can only lead 10,000 people to kill these armored bears.”

“I will bring you the woman’s head.”

The burly werewolf named Abel looked fiercely at the dazzling Bogurd in the Armored Bear Legion, then roared to the sky.

Ouch——

Thousands of werewolves came from all directions. They were hunting, hunting humans and hunting the wild beasts here. After hearing the order, they rushed over madly, and then howled and killed the armored bear legion in the valley.

Some werewolves jumped down from a high place, some werewolves raised stones and threw them out while running wildly. This was a power unique to the ‘Jag’ werewolves. Some werewolves turned into vicious wolves and nimbly shuttled among the armored bear army, and then at a certain moment they turned into werewolves and bit the humans around the armored bears.

“Kill kill kill kill kill!!!”

Bogold’s eyes were cold and ruthless, and she kept shouting. She used her shield to block the flying objects from afar, then jumped up and pierced a werewolf with her sword. The werewolf struggled and grabbed her body with its claws, but the next moment the huge force tore the werewolf in half.

Volibear held half of the werewolf’s body in his mouth, and threw the body away with his head. Then he slammed the werewolf that was attacking Boggold away, and slammed another werewolf under his feet with his bear paws.

Bogurd didn’t pay attention to this side. Her fighting talent was perfect. She chopped down with her sword, and then used her shield to knock down the werewolf that Volibear had knocked over. She stepped on the werewolf’s head with one foot with terrible force, and all the flesh and bones were shattered in an instant.

Bogold’s fighting power is comparable to that of a golden knight, but she is not yet a golden knight in terms of knight breathing method. It is only because of the power shared by the armored bear that makes her so terrifying, and her fighting style also tends to be more barbaric and primitive physical combat.

“Roar–“

Volibear roared, and the mark of thunder bloomed between his brows, and then lightning shuttled across the battlefield and hit a burly werewolf.

Abel from the werewolf Jag clan climbed up from the ground, got on all fours, and stared at this side with cruel eyes. His sneak attack failed, but it didn’t matter, the armored bear was a big threat to him, but he was strong enough.

Abel, the werewolf who was comparable to the Sky Knight, turned into a gust of black wind and rushed towards Bogurd, passing over Volibear’s head. The werewolf’s claws descended instantly and landed on Bogurd’s head when the armored bear man stood up.

At this moment, a shield blocked Abel’s claws, and the shock wave created a dent in the ground under Boglider’s feet. At this moment, Volibear shared all of the bear’s strength, allowing Boglider to block Abel’s attack.

Then Bogold stabbed the werewolf with the sword in his hand. The werewolf turned into a gust of wind to dodge and was surprised to find that the speed of the sword in Bogold’s hand had slowed down.

The werewolf reacted in an instant, with black wind flashing, but was still hit on the strong thigh by Volibear’s bear paw. The werewolf flew out and hit another armored bear. The metal armor was dented. The armored bear turned around in pain and bit the werewolf.

Abel dodged and left, looking somewhat embarrassed. This was a truly extraordinary army. The relationship between the armored bears and the armored bear warriors was not at all like that between knights and mounts. They shared strength and combat awareness with each other.

Abel gave up the idea of ​​a sneak attack and rushed straight towards Volibear. His steps were no longer nimble and swift, but his terrifying muscles were bulging. An armored bear blocked his way and roared as it slapped Abel, but the next moment the armored bear was knocked away. The werewolf’s claws grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the armored bear, and then terrible power exploded on this werewolf from the ‘Gag’ clan.

The two armored bears collided with each other. Volibear roared angrily and stood up with lightning flashing in his eyes. Bogurd stepped on the armored bear that crashed into him and roared as he killed the burly werewolf.

……

“Why did she just attack the werewolf?”

In Winter City, Ryan roared a little angrily, and then immediately arranged for Brand to lead the army to support Bogeld.

“Send those fighters to support the military bunker construction site!”

Ryan can no longer care about the conflict between Gam and Fenrir. The werewolves are hunting humans in the military bunker construction site in the way of wolf packs. Fenrir’s hunters cannot play to their strengths and can only rely on reinforcements to solve the problem there.

Now Ryan only has two teams that can provide support: Gam’s fighters and Brand’s team. Bogold’s side is more important, so Brand has to go there himself. Therefore, only the fighters are left to support the military bunker construction site.

During this period, Ryan also tried to bless the people of Gam with the hounds, but it was quite difficult, because in order to become a fighter, he had to change the souls of the people of Gam, which required their faith in him.

After this, the blessed fighter needs to go out and hunt powerful prey personally, devour their souls, and then peel off their fur and wear it on his body.

Compared to soldiers who can be formed into a group in fifteen days, such fighters have the power to transform into beasts, but their efficiency is too slow.

Moreover, such a step also meant that even Ryan would not be able to produce Gam Fighters on a large scale.

Their numbers are bound to be rare.
“I hope my orders are helpful.”

Ryan did not think that his authority could allow the two ethnic groups that had been enemies for dozens or hundreds of years to live in harmony. He only hoped that these Gam fighters would not take the opportunity to retaliate against Fenrir’s people.

Ryan was not too nervous. Fenrir’s people were soldiers whom he had blessed with great care. If we really talk about their combat effectiveness, they are actually stronger now.

The problem of war was imminent, and Ryan’s soldiers always felt that there were not enough, never enough.

“With a population of 200,000, I can take care of these werewolves with only an army of 10,000!”

Ryan’s eyes revealed determination. Many of his people could become soldiers. Although having 10,000 soldiers would consume almost all of his current spiritual energy, as long as he had an army of 10,000 apprentice knights, Ryan felt that these tens of thousands of werewolves would not be so difficult to deal with.

And currently… the number of soldiers is five thousand.

What constrained him was food. In just half a month, these extra trainee knights ate up 40% of the food stored in the Frozen Territory. The remaining food was not enough to support Ryan to bless another 5,000 soldiers.

Thirty to forty percent of the food must be left for emergencies. The food consumed every day in the Frozen Territory was all Ryan’s harvest from previous wars.

“Food. Lots of food.”

Ryan felt that he was no different from the orcs. They were all greedy for the endless food grown in the fertile land in the south.

“According to the time, the food that Count Pascal sent in the fall will be delivered in the next few days, right?”

Ryan needed more food. If he wanted to take the military route, farming would be affected. In Winter City, Ryan gave orders to Etria.

For the chief governor of the Frozen Territory, things regarding war became relatively simple. Everything was serving the war on the front lines anyway, so he didn’t have to think much.

After receiving Ryan’s order, Etria cried out helplessly, and then began to organize the team.

“You are going to the Danube Province?”

Baroness Avril called out to Etria. After arriving in the Tundra Territory, the first people Avril got acquainted with were several powerful women in the Tundra Territory.

“Lord Ryan asked me to negotiate with Count Pascal and try to trade for more food. If possible, I will also go to the Volga Province. I heard that there is so much grain there that it has to be used to make wine to store it to ensure that the food does not spoil.”

Etria also wanted to see the golden province, where even the roads were submerged in wheat fields.

“Wait a minute, I’ll write you some letters.”

Avril said that several of her aunts were married in the Volga Province, which was relatively close to the Calais Province. So, in all, Avril was the woman who married the farthest away from Melendez.

“Count Pascal… When I was in the Magician Academy, there was a great magician who eventually joined the Pascal family. She studied in the Mage Tower of Vera Mage just like me.”

Etria set out with a small box of letters, followed by a large team of two hundred people. After all, the North Wind Province was not safe at the moment.

As the chief governor of the Frozen Territory, Etria still needs some pomp and ceremony.

However, their speed was not slow. Ryan’s current demand for food allowed the team to cross the Flying Wing Canyon and enter the Danube Province in just three days.

Etria, holding the Lion badge, did not meet the Earl immediately, which was normal, but the Earl’s heir received her. “The Archon from the Frozen Territory? I have always heard of Baron Ryan’s name, and I really want to visit the legendary Frozen Territory. I wonder if the Archon can tell me about the Frozen Territory?”

One of the Earl’s children, Cari Pascal, asked curiously. He was indeed curious about the Frozen Territory because it was close to him and Baron Ryan’s reputation kept spreading to him.

“Lord Ryan is a nobleman blessed by the gods. Not only the great light, but many gods are watching over the direction he is heading.”

“When he came to the Frozen Territory, there were less than a hundred people there. In just three years, the Frozen Territory already had more than a hundred thousand people.”

“The gods guided the direction of life and allowed them to meet Baron Ryan.”

“As the North destroys the world, Baron Ryan is the savior of the world.”

“What he saved was not only his loyal people, but also the comfort of the gods.”

Etria said this, communicating with the other party about the past and current situation of the Frozen Territory.

At the banquet at night, Etria finally met Count Pascal.

“Your Excellency, I come here on behalf of Baron Ryan’s will.”

“Etria? Very beautiful child. I have heard of your name because of your brother, Master Brokk.”

Etria was surprised, then smiled and said:

“It is an honor for Brock, but perhaps you don’t know that the long sword he forged has completely become a legendary long sword.”

“Oh?”

Count Pascal opened his eyes wide. Compared to guessing the purpose of Etria’s coming here, this incident obviously shocked him more.

Why is there a legendary weapon embryo called this? Isn’t it because it is not an easy task to sublimate a weapon to the legendary level and become a glory passed down from generation to generation?

How many legendary weapons have their embryos aborted, never becoming legendary.

So…why did that sword become legendary?
Anything involving legend has a story and a process. What did the sword go through to qualify as a legend?

Pascal thought a lot, because he knew a lot, which made him a little confused about what had been happening in the frozen land territory during this period.

The marriage between the Baron and the Viscount, and the arrival of the parents of both parties, other than that, there seemed to be nothing else worthy of attention.

The war with the orcs is now faced by the entire empire. His Pascal family has provided a large amount of resources and soldiers to several northern provinces. This is the political correctness of Count Pascal in the struggle between the empire and the church.

Etria did not explain, and Pascal was left to figure it out himself. No matter how he thought about it, Baron Ryan would always hold a heavier weight in the Earl’s heart.

“As you can imagine, the Frozen Territory is currently facing pressure from werewolves, one of the six orc kings. The strong orcs have put the Frozen Territory into an overloaded state.”

“We need a lot of food.”

“I’m sorry that Lord Ryan couldn’t come in person. It’s because he couldn’t leave the Frozen Territory. Werewolves attacked Lord Ryan’s mansion more than once, and he had to fight them there.”

“Ryan is going to the battlefield in person?”

Count Pascal was surprised that Ryan did not stay in the castle so soon after his wedding?

And werewolves…

“I didn’t expect that werewolves would also appear in the North Wind Province. Oh, what unfortunate news. I think Ryan should ask the Clayton family for help.”

“His father will certainly send troops to help him.”

Etria said seriously:
“The Tundra Lords will fight the orcs with their own strength.”

“They are werewolves. Even if I lead the Danube Province and the North Wind Province, and add the Volga Province, our three provinces combined may not be a match for the Silver Moon Court.”

Pascal said seriously that he was right, the Silvermoon Court was not just a race of orcs consisting of werewolves, but also a large number of orc tribes that the Silvermoon Court could command.

In the orc family, some orc tribes have small populations, which makes it impossible for them to compete for the position of royal family, but it does not mean that they are not powerful.

For example, the mammoth-men that Earl Clayton had led his extraordinary army deep into the north to start a war. There were not many of them, but each one was a terrifying monster ten meters tall, invulnerable to swords and guns.

Compared to several other royal families, the Silvermoon Court represents more like the cohesion among the orcs and can drive a large number of orcs to invade human lands.

“We will prevail.”

Etria said firmly, and then said that the frozen earth leader would use gold coins to buy food from the Pascal family.

“The nobles of the Northern Wind Province are also nobles of the Empire, and Lord Baron Ryan is also your friend. There is a threat from orcs there, and as a great noble, you should probably not turn a blind eye to it.”

“The friendship between Baron Ryan and the Frozen Territory is also important to you.”

The nobles don’t talk too much about feelings, but rather analyze interests.

With Baron Ryan’s fame and the rise of the Frozen Territory, Pascal really needs the friendship of this “little nobleman”. This is part of his political correctness. Moreover, the aristocratic circle that Ryan belongs to now has a good relationship with the emperor.

“I can sell Baron Ryan 500,000 kilograms of grain.”

Pascal said this not because he was generous, but because it was autumn now and his crops were growing well this year, perhaps because last year’s heavy snow indicated a good harvest.

Moreover, these 500,000 kilograms of grain were not provided by just his family, but also by nobles in the Danube Province who were closely tied to the Pascal family.

“We need more food.”

Etria said this, shocking Count Pascal.

“How much food do you need?”

“Baron Ryan said that if you are willing to sell him all the grain in the Danube Province, he is willing to pay a mountain of gold.”

“This is impossible. The grain needs to be stored, transported to the northern border, and sent to the imperial capital to the royal family.”

Pascal shook his head. Baron Ryan’s demand for food shocked him, but 500,000 kilograms was the number he gave and he would not change it easily.

“Lord Ryan told me that if you are willing to increase the amount you first asked for by 30 percent, he can convince the Wonderful Church in the North Wind Province.”

“Oh? Convince them for what?”

“Allow your gargoyles to be stationed in that cathedral.”

Count Pascal was suddenly stunned, then his eyes widened. Yes, why didn’t he think of it? How could he miss such an important thing? !

The Pascal Gargoyle family, because of its close relationship with the Holy See, has a mediocre status in the empire. The count’s position is also awkward in the war between royal power and divine power. He stays away from the Holy See in order to make the empire believe that there is no possibility of rebellion.

But this does not mean that the gargoyle army betrayed the gods.

They stayed away from the Holy See and never gained the absolute trust of the empire. In particular, the conflict between this emperor and the Holy See also led to the Pascal family having very little say during the emperor’s tenure.

However, in today’s empire, is there anything more distant from the Church of the Dawn than the belief in the God of Light?
Count Pascal seemed to have found his direction at this moment.
