Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 104: Construction of trade routes, income surpassing Count Engel? ? ?

 In the castle.

 A grand banquet was being held. In order to thank Thor and others for rescuing the territory, April Niang gave them an extremely generous reception. They even brought out the wine they had collected for many years and drank freely with each other.

“Your Excellency Thor, it’s incredible. I didn’t expect that there are actually allies of nobles in the Northland Province.”

  “Thank you also from the bottom of my heart.”

 April Niang raised the wine glass and sounded with emotion.

 “You’re too kind!”

 “It’s just a piece of cake.”

Thor said with a smile and also raised his glass.

 “No, no, that’s not polite.”

"Without Lord Thor and everyone else, my territory would have been invaded by those **** kobolds."

 April Niang shook his head, his words were serious.

 “Your Excellency April Niang, you are serious!”

“By the way, Sir April Niang, what are you going to do next?”

Thor chuckled and shook his head, then seemed to think of something and asked casually.

 “Oh, my goddess, this is indeed a fatal question.”

"Maybe leaving is the best choice, but I can't abandon my territory and my people. I have to stay."

“With all due respect, Lord Thor, could you sell me some weapons?”

April Niang sighed softly, and then looked at Thor with expectant eyes.

“Oh, Your Excellency Baron April Niang, do you need to buy some weapons?”

Hearing the words, Thor's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, I need some weapons. If my weapons are better, these dirty kobolds will not be able to break into the castle. I was originally going to buy some weapons and equipment, but those **** vampires from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce have already destroyed the black ones. The price of iron armor has gone up to fifty gold coins, and the price of silver armor has gone up to five hundred gold coins. They might as well go and rob them."

 April Niang nodded, her words filled with impatience.

 Indeed, he was originally going to buy some weapons and equipment.

The number of people in his territory exceeds 8,000. If he can purchase enough weapons and equipment, he can resist even the second-level orcs.

 Unfortunately, he had to give up in the end. The price of the weapons was too high and he simply couldn't afford it.

"Indeed, those Habs Chamber of Commerce people are **** vampires. My friend, this is not a problem if you want to buy weapons."

"A few days ago, we obtained some Goblin weapons, but you know that we suffered a lot in order to capture that batch of weapons."

Thor nodded, agreed, and then spoke with a deep thought.

“Sir Thor, are you telling the truth?”

"no no!"

“Sir Thor, I understand what you mean. As for the price, how about the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce price?”

 April Niang was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but ask.

Just as the words came out of her mouth, April Niang reacted suddenly, and then opened her mouth to add something again.

 “My friend, you have misunderstood!”

"Let's do this. I have leather armor from Goblins. Ten silver coins are enough for a pair. Black iron armor is thirty for a pair. My friend, if you need silver armor, I will You can also take some out.”

Thor shook his head, and then pretended to grit his teeth and spoke.

 “Silver armor?”

“Sir Thor, aren’t you kidding me?”

 April Niang stood up instantly, with a look of surprise.

"Of course, how can I joke about such a thing? If you need it, I can have my caravan come over to complete the transaction with you in a few days."

Thor smiled and spoke.

 He was not joking.

 With his purge began.

Lajos Assad's caravan also followed his footsteps and began to spread towards the north.

 Previously, the area that Lajos Assad could spread was only around the Maine River Valley.

 But with the attack of the tauren, the trade routes throughout the Maine Valley have almost collapsed and even had to be stopped.

　　Until Thor led the Maine Alliance to start a clearing campaign.

 The trade routes were reopened.

 As the Maine League continued to win, the scope of this trade route spread further and further, and it became more and more stable.

 Just one month.

 The volume of various trades is increasing rapidly.

 The harvest also far exceeded the previous value.

 “I took the liberty!”

 “You know, this really surprised me!”

 April Niang realized that he had been presumptuous and quickly apologized, but his words could not help but be a little exciting.

 “I understand, Your Excellency April Niang.”

"Let's do this, I will notify you. My caravan will arrive here in ten days, and you can negotiate with him."

Thor smiled and nodded.

"OK!"

 “Thank you so much!”

  April Niang quickly expressed his thanks.

 “You’re welcome, it’s just a transaction!”

Thor smiled and raised his glass.

 “No, no, I still need to thank you. Weapons are what I need most at the moment.”

 April Niang spoke seriously.

Thor smiled and did not continue to struggle.

 The next time, everyone’s banquet continued again.

 Several barons and lords were talking to each other.

 Everything seemed extremely harmonious.

 Until late night comes.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

 April Niang arranged for everyone to rest.

 The next day, as April Niang bid farewell, everyone embarked on a clearing campaign again.

 Such a scene has become almost the norm in the past month.

Thor and others fought their way through the area and encountered many orcs, as well as pioneering lords.

 The chaos in the entire Northland Province caused a large number of pioneer lords to flee, and a large number of lords also stayed.

Each territory is not only their hard work, but also their hope. Even in despair, these lords may not be willing to give up, let alone not despair yet.

 While intertwined with these pioneering lords.

The caravans of the Eagle Territory also followed the footsteps of the Maine Alliance and spread to the entire surrounding area.

 Compared to Habs Chamber of Commerce, the price is more favorable.

With more sophisticated items and the strong strength of the Maine Alliance, a complete trade route was quickly built.

 The scale of trade is constantly expanding.    During this period of time, Lajos Assad’s smile never faded away every day.

Of course Thor's smile is even more so.

 You can get meritorious service from clearing out missions, you can gain daily intelligence, and you can also build trade routes.

 He completely became the biggest winner.

 For other lords, the dangers are unpredictable and the rewards are uncertain.

 In the past month, along with the two people who were canonized as barons, many noble lords who considered themselves powerful also participated in the purge mission, but the results were not so good.

 Many noble lords were severely damaged.

There was even a baron lord who unexpectedly encountered a damaged third-level orc tribe and was completely wiped out. Not even the baron lord could survive.

Even for those noble lords who were lucky, their losses gradually increased as the purge continued.

 Some noble lords were ready to give up.

However, Thor had no problem.

 For him, danger does not exist at all. The daily information is enough for him to avoid all dangers, and the harvest is almost predictable.

 The results are naturally different.

 Time passes quickly.

 It’s been three months in the blink of an eye.

 These three months.

 Thor led the Maine Alliance and continuously wiped out the orc tribes in the north.

 It’s not just the achievements that are constantly improving.

A month ago, the two lords Jozy Abi and Sachi had obtained enough merits and were canonized as barons. Others also obtained a lot of merit points. Thor already had almost 500 points. The merit points of the canonized Viscount were less than half, while the other three noble lords also received almost 300 points.

This amount of meritorious income alone is difficult to obtain in ordinary years, or even in more than ten years.

 But this moment has been achieved in less than four months.

  And apart from merit points, other gains are the most huge.

 After four months, even Lord Sachi, who had the smallest harvest, had gained more than two thousand gold coins.

  The three baron lords each have almost 3,000 gold coins.

As for Thor, even if we do not take into account the huge gains from the construction of the Lajos trade route, his own gains alone are already as high as 5,000 gold coins.

Not to mention, for Thor, the most important thing is the construction of Lajos Assad's trade route.

 This is where the real wealth lies.

In the past three months, the gold coin income brought by the Lajos Assad Trade Route has also exceeded 2,000 gold coins, reaching 2,300 gold coins, with an average of nearly 800 gold coins a month.

 And it is expected that the next income will be further increased.

 As long as the northern provinces do not collapse completely, or the war escalates comprehensively.

 This type of income can continue to increase.

 It is probably not a big problem to actually reach one thousand gold coins a month, or even more than one thousand gold coins.

If it can be stable, then this means that the annual income will exceed 12,000 gold coins.

 Twelve thousand gold coins.

That's twelve thousand gold coins.

 You must know that even for his father, the apparent income of the Earl of Engel Dressrosa's territory in a year is only about 10,000 gold coins.

 At this moment, his territory's income may exceed.

Although the Dressrosa family, as a long-established family, cannot really only have the nominal income from the territory, this is also extremely terrifying.

 Because many relatively weak earls may really only have an income of 10,000 or even less than 10,000 gold coins on the surface.

If he could reach 12,000 gold coins, his income would definitely exceed that of many counts.

 With these gold coins, the development of his territory will undoubtedly be able to reach a higher level again.

Of course the premise of all this is that the Northland Province will not really collapse.

 The Orc War will not break out either.

 Only in this way can the construction of trade routes generate value.

 Otherwise, let alone income, his territory may be in jeopardy.

 This is just a result, and it cannot be determined by his small arms and legs, even if he has golden fingers.

 What he can do is to quickly improve his strength before that happens.

 Fortunately, with the signing of the contract, his talent was obviously improved.

 Thor has been able to clearly feel this over the past few months.

He practiced the Knight Breathing Technique before, which was like a turtle crawling. It had almost no effect. It took a long time to feel the increase in life source power. Even if a large amount of life source power was stored in his body, it would be difficult for him to absorb it.

 But now, as long as you practice, you can clearly feel your own progress.

 In less than four months, he could already clearly feel that his life source was changing.

 At the current speed, he may be able to break through to the Great Knight in less than a month.

  Such speed was simply unimaginable before.

With his previous talent, if he wants to break through to the official knight level, there is basically no hope in two or three years. As for the great knight, it will take at least ten years, or even decades.

As for the Earth Knight, it is not something he can think of due to his previous talent.

 Now it’s completely different.

 The breakthrough will definitely be completed within a month, and it is unlikely that the Great Knight will be able to block the threshold of the Earth Knight for long.

Even without any assistance, there will definitely be a chance to attack the Earth Knight within five years.

 The night gradually falls.

 In the tent.

 “Hoo!”

 Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Thor put down his practice.

 Get ready to get up.

But suddenly I seemed to feel something.

 His eyes instantly looked into the distance.

"This is?"

 He looked a little surprised, and then a touch of surprise inevitably appeared on his face.

 “Boom!”

A powerful aura erupted. Not far from the camp, where Ren was, a majestic source of life suddenly spread out. The next moment, Ren's aura grew rapidly.

 With this huge movement.

 Several figures appeared.

 When they saw the camp clearly, several people's expressions were a little complicated.

 At this moment, they naturally knew what happened.

 “Sir Thor, you are really lucky.”

Baron Pape couldn't help but speak with emotion.

"yes!"

Baron Valmy also had a somewhat complicated expression.

 As for others, it’s not much better.

During this period of time, they have seen Ren's talent and strength, but even they did not expect that the opponent could break through the great knight so quickly.
