From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 168 Master Ryan's Intuition 【4K】

Tert County is the leading county in the Gothic province, with a population of several hundred thousand and rich products. Its owner is Earl William, a powerful family that has risen in the kingdom for nearly a hundred years.

Although the main force of the rebel army was plundering on this fertile land, most of the strength of the William family was preserved. It is said that Earl William had anticipated the whereabouts of the rebel army in advance and contracted in time to preserve most of their strength.

Tert County is the home of Earl William, and it is strong. They provide more than half of the food and grass for the noble coalition army, so Earl William has become a very special existence in the noble coalition army. Even His Royal Highness often considers his proposals. Opinion.

And just before the Linton County Legion came to Turtshire, the Earl William proposed an all-round blockade plan, which was to use several important cities as hubs to turn Turtshire into a The cage completely surrounded and killed the rebels inside, so as to achieve the effect once and for all.

The plan he proposed was very comprehensive and very feasible, so His Excellency the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory formally adopted it after thinking for a while, and issued orders to the various legions.

The Linton County Legion received an order to garrison Bald City. This is a very important transportation hub and a very important part of the plan.

The most surprising thing is that after Ryan and others arrived in Bald City, they found out that the nobles of Linton County who had been recruited to suppress the rebellion before them were also stationed in Bald City, and among them was Baron Brace, who had been with Ryan forever. !

When Ryan saw the baron again, it was at the military meeting held by the supreme commander of Bald City, Earl Donald...

At night, the moon was sparse, and the city lord's mansion in Balder City was brightly lit. It was originally the fiefdom of a baron, but unfortunately he belched in the previous war, so it became the temporary residence of Earl Donald.

Yesterday, all the troops dispatched by order had arrived, so Earl Donald held this supreme military meeting, but it was said to be a military meeting, but it was actually a noble banquet in disguise.

The well-dressed and youthful maids shuttled through the banquet hall with trays. Although it was in wartime, there were still a variety of dishes prepared here and enough drinks for everyone present.

"Hahaha, Viscount Chelsea, I haven't seen my friend for a long time. I have seen all the battle reports along the way. You did a good job."

Ryan and others followed Viscount Chells to the banquet. Uh no, at the scene of the military meeting, Earl Donald in full attire greeted him with a smile. Blinding Ryan's eyes is very coquettish.

Earl Donald is a fat middle-aged man with gray-brown hair and small eyes, which are even smaller because he always smiles when he talks.

He doesn't look like a nobleman, but more like a businessman, but Ryan understands what the phrase "you can't judge by appearance" means. There is a powerful breath surging in the body of Earl Donald, representing his At the very least, he is also a Transcendent of the Great Knight rank.

He and Chelsea are old acquaintances, and they have fought side by side before, so they have a good friendship in private.

After learning that the two sides still have this level of relationship, Ryan and others were really surprised. After all, there are more than 5 soldiers stationed in the entire Bald City, and there are many powerful legions.

With Chelsea's relationship, if there is any good errand, it is easier for them to get their turn. On the contrary, if there is any tough or broken errand, they will naturally not be hit by them.

This is all sophistication, and Ryan can see it clearly from behind.

Cheers also seemed very enthusiastic, opened his arms and gave Earl Donald a warm hug, and said with a smile: "It's still not as good as you, I heard that you beat the rebels to the ground and beheaded nearly ten thousand people on the frontal battlefield. ah."

"Hey, why mention those?" Donald waved his hands modestly, but his face was almost smiling like a flower, and he became more enthusiastic towards everyone.

Ryan and the others sat down at a long table covered with a white tablecloth according to their titles and affiliations. Ryan had to attend a noble banquet of this size for the first time, so he couldn't help looking around curiously.

There were many nobles who came one after another. Ryan only took a few glances and saw the figures of the three viscounts. Each of them was not simple, which reflected the strength of the troops stationed in Bald City.

Soon, Ryan saw an acquaintance in the crowd, that is the former defeated Baron Bryce, he looked a bit stronger than before, but a faint breath emanating from his body made Ryan feel a little uncomfortable so comfortable.

And when his gaze moved down to his right arm, Ryan's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, it turned out to be a good arm.

You must know that in the previous battle, Ryan cut off his arm directly, but now the opponent has an extra arm out of thin air.

His arm was flexible and powerful, holding the wine glass, and there was not even a ripple on the surface of the wine, which directly ruled out the possibility of prosthetics, and it was even more impossible for them to be connected.

Because the broken arm was completely necrotic when it was taken back. Although the healing methods in this world are very miraculous, I have never heard of a necrotic arm that can be rejuvenated. This is a bit incredible.

"Could it be possible to grow an arm out of thin air?" Ryan muttered a few words in his heart, but he raised his vigilance against Bryce in his heart. Due to the entanglement between the two, no matter how his arm came out, it would not matter. Not good news for him.

When he was looking at each other, Blaise seemed to feel something in his heart. He turned his head to look at Ryan, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was an unknown color in his eyes.

There was no anger, no jealousy when meeting an enemy, so he glanced at him casually, turned his head, followed a viscount and walked to a table not far away to sit down.

Ryan's vigilance suddenly became full, and the other party's reaction was really weird, which gave him a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't explain why.

Seeing this, Cheers said softly: "This is the count's banquet. No matter what kind of grievances you have between you, please bear with it for the time being, so as not to ruin the big event."

Ryan looked calm and nodded lightly, but he had labeled Blaise a dangerous label in his heart. If given the chance, he hoped that Blaise would never return to Linton County.

When the last nobleman arrived, Earl Donald said a few cheerful words before officially announcing the start of the banquet, and the military meeting really turned into a nobleman's banquet.

But it is true, the battle report and the next step plan have been sent to the hands of the legion commanders, and the military meeting is just to mention those things, which is a waste of time.

On the contrary, the noble banquet is a good opportunity to expand the circle of contacts. Hundreds of nobles with titles gather here, which is a very rare scene.

Cheers has already seen several acquaintances, holding a glass of wine and began to communicate with each other. Ryan is considered a newcomer here, and except for the nobles in Linton County, he hardly knows anyone.

Others have more or less acquaintances, and Baron David Bella once again showed his broad interpersonal relationship in front of Ryan.

He took Ryan through the crowd and introduced several familiar nobles to Ryan, including some viscounts.

Everyone is also very enthusiastic about a rising star like Ryan, and most of them are willing to make friends, and after David Bella "unintentionally" mentioned some of Ryan's deeds, everyone is even more impressed.

Not to mention the killing of the viscount during the expedition, but the battle with the rebels in the Terence Plain camp was enough to make everyone treat him differently.

Ryan didn't take too much credit for it, he handled the etiquette very well, and his speech made people feel like they were in the spring breeze, and some superficial friendships were quickly established.

These things seem inconspicuous now, but they may come in handy at some point, especially for the "newcomers" of nobles like Ryan, it will take more effort.

After a round, Ryan gained a lot, and his "brilliant" deeds gradually spread in various circles, so that most of the nobles present "did not know him, but heard his name".

Even Earl Donald came over to chat with Ryan, and there was no lack of appreciation in his words.

A banquet lasted until late at night, and the guests and hosts had a great time. At the end of the banquet, Ryan once again saw Blaise's figure, and also saw his current legion leader, a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression.

After David Bella's introduction, he knew that it was a native Viscount of Tert County, but it was not the kind bestowed by the king, but a vassal of Earl William.

But for some reason, Ryan felt the same aura in this viscount as in Bryce, which was very uncomfortable.

This situation made him uneasy. He quietly asked David Bella and Chelsea, but both of them were confused about what he said, because they didn't feel any special atmosphere.

Cheers thought it was because Ryan hated Blaise, so he didn't take it to heart. He just told Ryan not to do anything outrageous because it was a time of war.

Ryan did not buy what the two said. His intuition has always been very accurate. If Blaise was alone, it could be said that it was caused by grievances, but if he felt this way in other people, it meant that there was indeed something hidden in it. What.

It's just that intuition can't be used as evidence, and no one will investigate because of it, so Ryan can only be vigilant secretly.

On the way back to the barracks, a war horse passed by Ryan and the others. Ryan caught a glimpse, and his pupils shrank suddenly. He also felt that kind of breath from this person.

He couldn't help looking at David Bella beside him and said, "Do you know the one who just passed by?"

David Bella glanced at him with some doubts, but still replied: "I don't know him, but judging by his clothing and coat of arms, he should be a local nobleman in Turtshire. After all, all the vassals under Earl William There is a high degree of similarity."

Ryan's heart was shocked, and he felt that kind of breath in three people, two of whom were vassals of Earl William, and even Blaise was inextricably linked with them.

A ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in his mind, but he suppressed it abruptly the next moment, because it was really crazy...

After returning to the barracks and explaining the next arrangement to Allen, Ryan hurried into the room he arranged for himself, because the soul-devouring ring was emitting a faint light in the bracelet on his wrist.

Ryan looked at it with a feeling of trepidation. Since the Soul Eater Ring devoured the soul of the Holy Lord, some internal changes began to take place.

This change made him uneasy. After all, Liman said before that this is a powerful evil weapon with unknown origin, so he should be more vigilant.

The Holy Master is a member of the evil god's apostolic council. This can be said to be more evil than evil. Who knows what strange chemical reaction will happen?

The faint light shone on Ryan's face, making him a little tangled up for a while. At present, he didn't feel any threat, but there was indeed something more in the ring.

After pondering for a long time, Ryan tentatively infiltrated his spiritual power. This is a very dangerous action. The Soul Devouring Ring is originally aimed at the soul. If something happens to his soul, his soul may be severely injured.

The reason for this risk is that there is a dragon crystal in Ryan's consciousness space. After so many things, he has long realized that the dragon crystal has the function of protecting his soul.

The burst of soul shock that erupted after devouring the Holy Lord almost turned Ryan into an idiot. Thanks to the existence of Dragon Crystal, he was safe and sound.

He is betting his treasure on Long Jing now, in case something happens, he can protect his soul.

With the infiltration of spiritual power, the situation inside the Soul Eater ring became more and more clear. It seemed to be a dark space inside, empty and empty.

Ryan's mental power was wandering in this space. He didn't know how long it had passed before he "saw" a radiant ball floating quietly in mid-air.

This ball of light seems to be composed of soul power, and the fluctuation of soul power exudes around it, which makes Ryan feel a little trance.

That power is very powerful, and Ryan's soul power is insignificant in front of it, but the good news is that he does not feel danger or malice in it, that is to say, at least for now, it is not threatening.

This made Ryan temporarily relieved, and it is a good thing that there is no danger.

"However, what exactly is this thing?" Ryan was curious, thought for a while, and carefully touched it tentatively with his mental power, but he didn't expect his mental power to be directly sucked in at the moment of contact.

He immediately felt that he had come to a warm space, which was very comfortable. It was a sense of comfort and security that came from the soul.

The surrounding area was bright, and he couldn't "see" things clearly. Ryan was planning to study what it was, but the next moment he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and a chill rushed straight into his forehead.

I only heard a childish voice echoing in the space of the light sphere: "Eat...good...to eat."
