Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Returning to the territory and being jointly targeted

 As a territorial noble, the most important thing is the territory. Once the territory is lost, the noble will not only lose the source of authority, but also lose the future.

 The kingdom cannot give you another territory, and it is also difficult to obtain another territory.

 For pioneer lords, if they want to advance to the nobility, they need not only merit, but also territory.

 Hundred meritorious deeds can lead to the title of Baron of the Kingdom.

  But that's when you own the territory.

Once you lose your territory, let alone one hundred points of merit, even if you have ten thousand points of merit, it will be difficult to obtain the status of a territorial noble. At most, you will only be a palace noble.

 Such a result was not acceptable to every lord.

 So they will not give up as long as there is a slight possibility.

 It's just that this may not necessarily be an opportunity.

 Divine revelation is about to begin.

Voices sounded one after another, and slaves, free people, and knights all saluted respectfully along the way. The figures from Frosty Moon Province following Thor followed, looking at this scene with shock. .

Bon Voyage.

 Seven days passed quickly.

At this moment, there was another change in their eyes when they looked at Thor.

Thor's arrival attracted the attention of many people.

 Thor finally returned to the Eagle Territory after almost four months.

 “Is this the Eagle Territory?”

"grown ups!"

"Owner!"

Even Marshall looked a little shocked.

But soon they recognized the lord.

 Looking at Thor and others approaching.

 In the farmland, the busy figures couldn't help but smile.

"Owner!"

 The wheat seedlings sprouted new sprouts.

"grown ups!"

 But these nobles on the front line may not be unaffected.

 Even if the kingdom can stop it.

 The leaders are Ren and Steve.

  Early on the next morning, his figure returned towards the Eagle Territory.

"grown ups!"

Even though they had heard about the appearance of the Eagle Territory, when it actually appeared in front of them, they couldn't help but be shocked.

 Among the three pharmacists, Entos muttered to himself.

This is not the bitter and cold place they imagined at all.

Christie couldn't help but speak.

 The development here even gives them a feeling that is not inferior to that of Frost Moon Province.

 After understanding the general situation.

 More farmland has been cultivated.

 The canal dug by the goblins passes through the wheat fields.

 The reputation of Thor as a lord has reached an unprecedented level.

 His eyes kept looking at the entire territory, and then focused on Thor.

 A group of people have appeared outside the town in the distance.

"well done!"

 Of course this has nothing to do with Thor.

 The entire Eagle Territory has undoubtedly undergone great changes compared to before he left. The most obvious point is that the entire Eagle Territory has almost doubled in size.

Of course it's not just them, even the famous knights assigned to him by Count Engel again, as well as the affairs officers, are all the same.

 Can even nip losses in the bud.

Ryan and Steve ran over quickly.

 “Sir, that's awesome!”

 While everyone was shocked.

 Wren and Steve spoke respectfully.

 “It's hard work these days!”

Thor smiled and nodded.

 He was extremely satisfied with his two subordinates.

 During the time he left, Steve handled the entire Eagle Territory pretty well. Although there were some problems, the overall situation was pretty good.

  Wren, also did well in business.

And looked at the two people.

 Some of the people brought by Thor behind him had some shock in their expressions.

 The aura of both of them was that of great knights.

They couldn't help but look at Pelos again.

 Some knights couldn't help but feel a little excited.

 Three great knights.

 Including Master Thor, those are four great knights.

 The ability to open up territory in this way can be said to be extremely gorgeous.

 They don't seem to have to worry about the future at all.

Compared with their excitement, Marshall looked shocked again.

Ren, he knew that Thor had brought him back from the small town more than a year ago. In less than two years, this person had also reached the rank of Great Knight.

 How long did it take for him to step into the Great Knight before.

 Ten years, fifteen years, or longer.

 Marshall can't remember exactly, except that it took a long time.

Of course at this moment, Thor ignored the shock and impact of bringing these people to him.

Wren, and Steve didn't pay attention either.

 “Sir, you are overly complimentary!”

Hearing Thor's praise, the two anxious people couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ren, and Steve couldn't help but speak.

 “Let's go, let's go back first!”

“Steve, please sort out the affairs in the territory during this period and give it to me later.”

Thor shook his head and did not continue to dwell on this. Instead, he spoke softly and gave instructions.

 “Sir, we are ready!”

 “You can check it at any time.”

 Steve nodded, and then led Thor toward the town.

 The group of people then entered Eagle Town.

Compared to before, Eagle Town can really be regarded as a small town at this moment.

 The number of residents in the town gradually increased.

 The past four months.

 After asking Thor for instructions, Steve went to Loren City again and purchased three thousand slaves.

Now the size of the town has reached close to ten thousand people. With several clearings of the surrounding area and Thor's deliberate instructions, the number of free people has increased, making it naturally more prosperous.

Even if they haven't seen each other for four months, when Thor appears, the figures are still greeted with excitement and flushing.

Thor nodded.

 Everyone quickly walked into the castle.

 In the castle.

 The banquet has started.     After a sumptuous dinner.

The figures following Thor became more and more settled.

 Because at this moment, the Eagle Territory no longer needs anything to calm people's hearts. The Eagle Territory itself is the place where people feel most at ease.

 In the study.

  Steve and Ren reunited.

Thor sat at the desk.

 Looking through the related matters that Steve compiled and sent over.

 No one spoke.

  Steve and Ren both waited in nervous silence.

 And time also passes in this minute and second.

 Half an hour later.

Thor finished flipping through all the documents in front of him. He stopped and frowned slightly.

 It's not because he is dissatisfied with the development of the Eagles.

 The entire Eagle Territory, whether it was what he saw or what was described in these documents, made him extremely satisfied.

 At present, there are already two small towns, and a third town is under preparation.

 The population has reached nearly 15,000 people, of which 1,000 are freedmen.

Supernatural strength has also been greatly improved.

 Before he left, there were only forty-three formal knights and one hundred and thirty-two trainee knights in the entire Eagle Territory.

But in just four months, the number of formal knights has increased from forty-three to forty-five, an increase of two more, and the number of trainee knights has increased even more. After four months, a large amount of resources have been tilted, reaching Now the number of trainee knights has increased from one hundred and thirty-two to one hundred and fifty-one, an increase of nineteen people.

 This is undoubtedly a terrifying value.

If coupled with the gift given by Count Engel this time.

His number of formal knights reached sixty-five in one fell swoop, and the number of apprentice knights exceeded two hundred. His strength has undoubtedly been greatly improved.

Even if it is placed in the western region, he is qualified to occupy a section of the Danube River.

If Marshall is taken into account, he can even occupy a large Nau-producing Danube.

At the same time, in addition to these, the food production of the Eagle Territory has also been greatly improved. Even if the population increases and there are thousands of goblins, he can still meet the needs of the territory.

  And this was before. Once the newly cultivated farmland is harvested, there will even be a large surplus of food.

 Not to mention the annual trade gains.

 After four months, his harvest officially exceeded 5,000 gold coins.

This is still without opening up the supply of silver armor. Once it is open, it is not impossible to double the income.

All this undoubtedly means that the entire Eagle Territory has undoubtedly passed the initial pioneering period and it is time to start harvesting.

 What only made Thor frown was the development of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

 That's right, it's the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

 The Chamber of Commerce has indeed brought about vigorous development.

The income has indeed increased a lot. Thor accounts for 50% of the income and has reached 5,000 gold coins. The income of the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce in the past four months has reached 10,000 gold coins.

This is ten thousand gold coins, and many earldoms only have this much income.

 The Eagle Chamber of Commerce's revenue reached 10,000 gold coins in just four months.

Based on this situation, the annual income can definitely reach 30,000 gold coins.

 This is undoubtedly a terrifying value.

However, Thor can also feel something is wrong with this value.

 That is, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce's income stopped growing a month ago, and even declined slightly this month.

 Theoretically this is simply impossible to happen.

 In Thor's way of commerce.

 The Eagle Chamber of Commerce's income will continue to grow in a **** manner, and will eventually stop when it reaches a saturation stage.

  What is saturation?

Thor doesn't know.

 It's definitely more than 30,000 gold coins.

Marquis Lehman is just a city in Loren, and his annual gold coin income is more than 100,000.

Not to mention other things, it is impossible for the dilapidated north alone to only have so few gold coins at the moment.

 How can it be saturated with only 30,000?

Then there must be a problem.

“Ren, what's going on with the Eagle Chamber of Commerce?”

Thor put down the document in his hand and looked at Ren.

 At present, Lajos is not here, and the person who has the most contact with the Chamber of Commerce is Renn. He also believes that Renn should give him a corresponding reason.

 “Sir, this!”

Ryan spoke subconsciously, but he didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Ren's hesitant gaze, Thor's expression couldn't help but condense.

 “Sir, the situation is a bit complicated!”

 Steve spoke, with a solemn look on his face.

"oh?"

Thor couldn't help but look at Steve.

"Sir, the Chamber of Commerce's operations went smoothly at first, and they even quickly established a large channel in the west. Lord Lajos connected with more than forty pioneering lords in just a few months."

"Before last month, it expanded to sixty-seven pioneer lords, but this also attracted the attention of those in the west. Since last month, they have interfered, blocked, and even attacked our Chamber of Commerce. "

"Yes, sir, they even ambushed one of our caravans just last week. Although there were no personnel losses, the material losses were considerable. What's more important is that they started to set up checkpoints. We must pay high taxes if we pass. The expansion of the Chamber of Commerce is also becoming more and more difficult.”

 Steve spoke softly and slowly narrated the whole situation, while Ren was also supplementing beside him.

 Listen to the words of the two people.

 Thor finally understood what was going on.

 Obviously, the emergence of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce directly touched the interests of the powerful noble lords in the west.

 As powerful nobles, most of the entire west, or the entire northern provinces, are their leeks.

Marquis Lehman was aloof and only controlled the slave trade, but other restrictions were not so strict.

 In this case, this piece of cake was naturally targeted by some powerful noble lords.

 They have enough resources and strength.

 Enough to keep harvesting.

 But the emergence of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce broke this convention.

　　The leeks that were originally thought to be growing in their own garden were cut.

 These people are the only ones who are mad if they are not angry.

Thor even suspected that the biggest reason why the other party did not directly physically destroy the Eagle Chamber of Commerce was the threat from the Dressrosa family.

 As a famous pioneering knight family.

In the Northland Province, the Dressrosa family owns more than just Tono and Thor, but there are many more besides.

 This combined strength is not weak.

 Perhaps because of this, they did not dare to make a fatal move.

  Can block, interfere.

 Even disgusting them is inevitable.

 Special level this trick.

Thor has seen this before in Frostmoon Province.

 This is true in places where the frosty moon provincial system is almost complete. In the Northland Province, the effect is even more unimaginable.

 Because in the Frost Moon Province, you need to worry about depleting the water and fishing, but in the Northland Province, you don't need to worry about this.

 And the only one that is restricted is the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to worry at all.
