Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 119 Community of Interests, further integrating the Maine League

Doubts spread in the hearts of the three dukes. However, as they were unable to decipher Titanic at the moment, they could only wonder.

 And soon, they had no intention of paying attention to this, because the defense line of the Tulip Kingdom was once again attacked, and a large number of orcs gathered. This time, the orc tribe was stronger than before.

 Even a fifth-level orc tribe appeared.

But fortunately, this time the support from the kingdom was large enough.

The number of Sky Knights is as high as eight.

 Not to mention there are a large number of earth knights.

 This kind of power has gathered nearly 60% of the apparent strength of the entire kingdom.

Even though the strength of the orc tribe is increasing, the defense line is still stable.

 And the defense line was stabilized.

 The situation in the entire Northland Province has also stabilized.

Marquis Lehman and others began to clear up the area centered on the north.

In less than half a month, a large number of orc tribes that entered the Northland Province were wiped out.

 Only the remaining orc tribes, which were not very powerful, were able to escape.

  And this can no longer affect the Northland Province very much.

 In this case, it took five months for the unrest in the Northern Province to gradually subside.

Even on the northern defense line, there are still dense orc tribes attacking.

Even within the Northland Province, orc tribes will sneak in.

  But neither the level nor the quantity are the same as before.

 Such a result, the remaining pioneer lords in the entire Northland Province could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

 Before, even some of the top noble lords could not help but feel deeply worried.

After all, judging from the previous situation, it seems that the orc war is about to begin. Once the war breaks out, they are in the Northland Province and will almost bear the brunt, and the result is needless to say.

Now that it has stabilized, it means that the orc war will most likely not be fought.

 As long as they can't fight, they still have a chance to continue to develop.

It's also a good thing for Thor.

 This means that he has put his plan to return home on the agenda.

 Of course, before returning home, he still needs to further improve the construction and the Maine Alliance.

 The former goes without saying.

 Tauren incident, occupying a large amount of territory that needs to be developed.

 The huge harvest gained from the campaign needs to be digested.

 These are all things he needs to arrange.

 So after returning from the west, he devoted all his attention to the planning and construction of the territory.

 With his efforts.

 In a few months, the entire Eagle Territory has already changed.

 A large amount of materials, a large number of personnel, and the addition of goblins have undoubtedly accelerated the construction of Thor's territory.

The eagle collar is also a change that is almost visible to the naked eye.

 And this is not enough, he also needs further planning, which must be dealt with before he returns.

 As for the latter.

 The League of Maine was gradually integrated by him during the Minotaur incident and the clearing mission.

 Everyone was willing to obey his instructions.

 But this is not enough.

 The huge harvest caused rapid changes in the Eagle Territory.

 It can be changed, but it is not just the Eagle Territory. The entire Maine River Valley has undergone tremendous changes.

Baron Pape, Baron Valmy, Baron Gratton, as well as the newly canonized Baron Sage and Baron Jozi are all rapidly starting their own construction tasks.

 The large amount of materials and gold coins obtained through the clearing mission are also being consumed rapidly.

But in just two months, the strength of everyone in the Maine Valley has improved a lot.

At this moment, if we were to face the damaged third-level tauren tribe again, we could easily deal with it simply by relying on the power of the Maine Alliance.

If you want to talk about the strength of the Maine Alliance at this moment, except for the lack of earth knights, the others are not inferior to some weak counts.

If there is an earth knight, it can even surpass a large number of earls and nobles.

At this moment, everyone in the Maine Alliance has not really digested what they have gained this time.

If it is completely digested, this strength will be even stronger.

For such a result, no matter which lord of the Maine League, his expression was filled with excitement and flushing.

 They never thought that their development would be so rapid.

In disbelief, they also respected Thor more and more.

Everyone knows that Thor brought all this.

 But the problem is that these alone are not enough to maintain the entire Maine Alliance. To truly integrate, interests are also needed.

 The opening of the western trade route has undoubtedly become the best benefit.

 He ​​was able to give some of the benefits to Lajos Assad, and he was also able to give benefits to the pioneer lord of the Maine Valley.

 As long as everyone can be tied to his chariot, all problems will no longer be a problem.

 And this is not just a matter of effort, but also a reward. Each major territory has its own output, and the major lords can also provide protection, allowing the caravan to further grow.

At this moment, with Tono, Babrus, and Thor's caravan, the strength is indeed not weak, but it is just not weak, which does not mean that it is strong. In this case, it is extremely necessary to further improve the strength.

Thor, his brother, and Babrus have told about this, and they have no objections to it.

In this case, after Thor returned to the territory, he was dealing with the affairs of the Eagle Territory on the one hand, and preparing for this incident on the other.

 After more than a month, he finally came up with a satisfactory plan.

 After preparing to complete this matter, he started to set off home.

 In the castle.

Thor put down his quill.

“Karin, please copy this letter five times, and then give it to Pelos, and ask him to arrange for it to be sent to the five barons.”

Thor opened his mouth and gave instructions to the maid next to him.

"yes!"

 Karin responded respectfully.

 Then he quickly walked out.

 A moment later.

 Five letters were carried by five official knights towards the location of the five pioneer lords.

 Faced with Thor's invitation.

Although the other five lords of the Maine League were a little confused, they did not hesitate at all.

 The second day is to set off directly.

 When the third day came, the five people arrived at the Eagle Castle one after another.

 It was only when everyone gathered at Eagle Castle that they couldn't help but become more confused.

Thor not only asked them to exist alone, but also invited the other four lords.

"Baron Pappe, do you know why Mr. Thor invited us here this time?" Lord Sage spoke with hesitation, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Pappe Lawrence.

“Yes, Baron Pape, do you know something?”

Baron Valmy also spoke.

 The words of the two people made the other two people look at Pappy Lawrence.

 Everyone present, regardless of distance or contact, is Baron Pape. They have more contact with Thor. Their first reaction is whether Baron Pape knows something.

 “Sorry, I don’t know either. Like you, I am also full of doubts!”

Pape Lawrence smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.

 He doesn’t know about the goddess of life.

"this!"

 Hearing Baron Pape's words and looking at each other's expressions, the four of them couldn't help but be startled. They did not expect that Baron Pape didn't know.

 And in their doubts.

 Karin came out.

 “Sir barons, please come this way!”

 Soft words sounded.

 “Thank you!”

A few people nodded and had to temporarily suppress their curiosity and followed the maid Karin into the castle.

 Soon, the five people were brought into the conference room of the castle.

 “Lord Thor!”

 Seeing Thor, the five people quickly performed knightly etiquette.

“A few of you, I invited you rashly, I hope you won’t disturb me.”

Thor returned a knightly courtesy to the five people, and then spoke with a smile.

 “Sir Thor, you are serious!”

 “Your invitation is our honor!”

Baron Sage smiled and spoke.

 “Yes, you are too polite!”

 Several other people nodded.

“I invite you this time mainly for the Chamber of Commerce. You should understand that I have formed a Chamber of Commerce.”

Thor smiled and shook his head, and then he didn't mince words, but spoke directly.

"Chamber of Commerce?"

 The five people looked at each other with confused expressions.

Baron Pape asked subconsciously.

"Yes, the Chamber of Commerce has decided to intervene in the western part of the Northland Province. You should know that compared to the eastern part, the western part is more prosperous and can bring more benefits."

"Of course this is not the main reason. The main reason is that I want to know if you are interested in it."

Thor nodded, and then spoke with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, the five people present could not help but breathe heavily.

Some people even couldn't help but have their pupils dilated.

 “To, Mr. Thor, you, what did you say?”

Baron Valmy couldn't help but speak, his face flushed.

Of course it’s not just him at this moment, the other four are not doing much better either.

Chamber of Commerce.

 The income brought by a chamber of commerce is unimaginable.

What's more, a chamber of commerce that has set foot in the western part of the Northland Province is almost like a huge piece of pie.

“Sir Thor, are you kidding me?”

　　Jozi Abibi couldn’t help but speak.

As he spoke, all eyes could not help but focus on Thor.

 In the gathering gazes.

"Of course this is not a joke, guys, I decided to give 24% of the dividends. You can subscribe according to your own strength. A great knight can give 5%, and a formal knight can give 5%. One in a thousand knights, what do you think?"

Thor's smile disappeared, his expression became serious, and his words immediately started.

He had discussed this kind of matter before, and the final decision was that Babrus, Lajos, and Tono each contributed 3%, while Thor contributed 15%, for a total of 100%. Twenty-fourths of the money was needed to provide dividends to the five lords of the Maine Confederacy.

 On average, over 20%, each lord can get close to 5%.

 Of course, it is actually impossible to divide it equally. Those with stronger strength will naturally get more.

 But this is not what Thor needs to consider.

 Everything depends on the choices of several lords.

Hearing Thor's words, the five people were excited and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

 A moment later.

 Jozi Ajubi’s voice was the first to speak.

"Lord Thor, I can provide one grand knight, two formal knights, and ten apprentice knights. How about I take 7%?"

 As soon as the words came out, Jozi Aobi looked at Thor.

 “Of course you can!”

Thor was a little surprised, but still nodded.

"Your Excellency, Baron Jozi, you are really generous. Let's do this. I will provide four formal knights and twenty trainee knights. Mr. Thor, I will occupy 4%!"

Baron Grattan took a deep look at Jozy Albi, and then spoke the same way.

“Sir Thor, I have one grand knight, four formal knights, and ten trainee knights. I occupy 8%.”

Baron Pape gritted his teeth and spoke in the same way.

　His words immediately surprised everyone, even Thor couldn't help but be a little surprised.

 “Sir Thor, I should be able to join you!”

Baron Pape spoke, and it was obvious that the great knight he was talking about was himself.

"sure!"

Thor smiled and nodded, not refusing.

As for Baron Pape’s thoughts, he most likely understands that the other party has obviously begun to hand over the territory to his eldest son, and he is naturally a free force.

At this moment, the words spoken by a few people made the remaining two barons Valmy and Sachi feel uneasy.

But the two of them opened their mouths.

 In the end, I still didn’t choose to let myself join.

 Unlike Baron Pape, there is no suitable heir in their territory. It is not a good choice for them to directly abandon their territory and join the Chamber of Commerce.

 In the end, Baron Valmy used four formal knights and ten apprentice knights to get 3%, and Lord Sage used two formal knights and ten apprentice knights to get 2%.

 Twenty-four percent of the dividend was fully divided.

 The staff of the Chamber of Commerce has also been further expanded.

At present, Lajos has 5%, Babrus has 9%, Tono has 12%, Thor has 50%, Baron Pape has 8%, and Jozi Abi has 7%. , Baron Gratton four percent, Baron Valmy three percent, and Sage two percent.
