Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 197 What? Are you an earth knight?

Stepping into the territory, Michael and Cecil couldn't help but be even more shocked by the scene after scene. The entire vigilance was huge and well-organized. At this moment, it seemed not much inferior to the small town of Dressrosa.

 Slaves, freedmen, and knights all had big smiles on their faces. Along the way, they also reached many territories in the Northland Province, but they had never seen anything like this.

 The two looked at each other, feeling a little ups and downs in their hearts.

Of course Thor didn't care about this at the moment and led everyone into the castle.

 A grand banquet then started.

When Michael saw Carter, he couldn't help but be shocked again. At this moment, Carter had actually reached the level of a great knight.

 The eighteen-year-old knight, even Michael, was a little unable to sit still.

“My goddess, this is a miracle, Thor, how did you do it?”

Looking at Carter, Michael looked at Thor again, speaking in disbelief.

 Although they already understood it when they came.

“Uncle Michael, it’s not how I did it, but Carter was diligent enough and courageous enough.”

　Hearing Thor's affirmative words, Michael and Cecil looked at each other, both eyes filled with shock.

"this!"

 He is not blindly arrogant.

 But now he saw something. The eighteen-year-old Carter had become a great knight.

Michael reacted and quickly raised his glass, and Cecil next to him did the same.

 Compared to himself, the two of them undoubtedly have a lot more experience, especially Michael, as his father's right-hand man and the leader of the Dressrosa Knights, Michael has experienced enough things.

Thor smiled and shook his head.

"Yes, it should even be more than that. I am afraid that the output of the Danube River has exceeded 80%. The known large minerals should have reached more than 75%. Except for a few remote territories, they have not intervened. Other places It’s basically under control.”

 “And Uncle Cecil!”

But this kind of understanding is only limited to the fact that Thor left and occupied some mines with the help of those powerful noble descendants, but they never thought that "these" would reach this level.

As the person who is mainly responsible for the Young Eagle Knights, he is naturally aware of Carter's talent. Without Thor's support and sufficient diligence, it would be impossible for him to gather the seeds of life and become a trainee knight at the age of eighteen.

 Such a talent, even he couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.

　　“Master Thor’s words are serious.”

　Diligence, courage.

Thor said with a smile and raised his glass.

As a result, the good guy, now Master Tror, who is now in the west, will be brought to the west.

Sufficient talent, even if you are not diligent enough, is enough to solve many problems.

Hearing Thor's answer, Michael subconsciously opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Well, he admitted that Carter had it.

Even though this month’s income has not yet been calculated, it can be expected to be a terrifying figure.

“Uncle Michael, please come and help me this time. It’s really annoying.”

Hearing Thor's words, Michael and Cecil couldn't help being shocked. Michael couldn't help but stand up as he listened.

 “That’s not a big deal!”

If this guy didn't ask for help, Michael and Cecil felt that their young master would most likely be forcibly torn apart by the angry and powerful heirs of the aristocracy.

Facing the next situation, there are undoubtedly more ideas.

 This is not just one or two families, but an unknown number of families.

They naturally understand the situation in the northern province, and they also know that the best part of the northern province is in the western region.

Thor chuckled and spoke.

 “I’ll give you a toast!”

“You are saying that you have already occupied more than 80% of the large-scale mineral deposits in the entire west, as well as the output of the Danube River?”

He couldn't imagine how Thor did it at all.

 Then he started discussing with the two of them.

But the practice of knights requires more than just these, or these occupy a very small proportion, and most of them are talents and opportunities.

"this!"

“The territory may encounter many things next.”

Most of them are the descendants of families that are more powerful than the previous Dressrosa family.

At this moment they finally understood why Thor asked for help.

Thor will naturally make good use of this.

Thor nodded. During this period, he further understood the entire situation. Compared with when he left, the scope of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce's control has further improved.

 Among them is someone who is extremely famous among the Marquis family.

 After being shocked, both Michael and Cecil couldn't help but fell into slight silence.

 The complexity of the matter was greater than they imagined, and even they had to reconsider.

Thor didn’t bother either.

 Instead, he waited quietly.

 Until a moment later.

Michael then spoke slowly.

“Master Thor, if nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that within one or two months, those powerful noble heirs will return. Even with our current strength, we may not be able to stop them.”

“Can I see the current scope of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce’s control?”

 The words came out, and Michael looked at Thor.

 “Of course you can!”

 “Uncle Michael, Uncle Cecil, let’s go to the study!”

Thor smiled and nodded.

 The two of them did not refuse.

 The three of them immediately left the restaurant and went to Thor's study.

 Enter the study room.

 The maid has quickly spread out a brand new map.

 This is not a map of the Eagle Territory, but a map of the northern provinces.

 At this moment, the western part and the Eagle Territory are marked.

When they saw this map, Michael and Cecil couldn't help but look at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but jump. They were already extremely surprised when they heard Thor's words.

At this moment, seeing the map, they realized how big Thor's handiwork was.

Most of the entire western region has entered Thor's jurisdiction, and even the west and east are almost connected together.

“Uncle Michael, Uncle Cecil, we currently have more than forty-five mines, here, here, and here!”

Thor spoke to the two of them, further explaining the situation.

“Master Thor, how many great knights of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce are you currently in charge of, and how many knights of the earth are there?”

 Abruptly, Cecil spoke and looked at Thor.

"At present, there should be only four knights of the earth, except for the two uncles and uncle Marshall."

Looking at the two of them, Thor pondered for a moment, and then spoke. “Four?”

The two of them looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their expressions.

They did not expect that besides Thor and Marshall, who was still breaking through, there would be four more Earth Knights.

 This is not Chinese cabbage.

 But the Knight of the Earth.

 Even an ordinary earl family would have a hard time producing four earth knights.

At this moment, Thor actually has four earth knights, how can he not surprise them.

"Yes, I have already broken through to the Earth Knight, plus Ren, the entourage of the Albi family, and Lajos Assad's entourage, there are four in total."

Thor nodded and explained slowly.

This time in the northern province, Isabel gave her entourage of an earth knight to Jozi Abbi, and Lajos Assad also received the support of an earth knight from home. With these two people in mind, the number has indeed reached four at this moment.

 “That’s it!”

 “What, Master Thor?”

Michael nodded and subconsciously wanted to speak next, but halfway through the words, he suddenly reacted and looked at Thor instantly, with an expression of disbelief.

The same is true for Cecil next to him.

The goddess of life is above, they just heard something.

Faced with the shock of the two people, Thor was also very direct, and a majestic source of life bloomed in his body.

Layers of ice began to spread under his feet.

 The cold breath spreads.

Even though he was a peak Earth Knight and a late-stage Earth Knight, Michael and Cecil couldn't help but shudder instinctively.

 The figure also retreated subconsciously.

 Just in this kind of retreat, they also reacted.

 The shock on his face could hardly be concealed.

 Earth Knight, this is really the Earth Knight.

How old is Thor at the moment? He is twenty years old at most. The twenty-year-old earth knight has not appeared a few times even in the history of the Tulip Kingdom. In the current Tulip Kingdom, it seems that he is only inferior to that prince. Your Highness, even the heirs of the three great dukes cannot be compared with Thor at the same age.

 Even in the empire, such talent is enough to dazzle.

 Think again, when did they break through the Earth Knights themselves.

They seemed to have thought of what Thor had just said. The two looked at each other, and the shock in their hearts became even stronger.

 “Master Thor, you, you are saying that Ren has also made a breakthrough.”

Cecil pursed his lips and spoke with a dry expression.

 “Yes, Renne broke through with me.”

Thor nodded.

Faced with this answer, the two of them could not help but fall silent again.

 I don’t know what to say or how to react for a moment.

 Two earth knights under the age of twenty, such a thing, even if they face it with their own eyes, makes them feel like they are in a dream.

 “Master Thor!”

 After a moment, Michael couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then shook his head.

And Cecil could not help but fall silent again.

Facing the shock of the two people, Thor naturally knew what was going on.

But it’s hard for him to say anything about this.

He and Renn were able to break through so quickly, partly because of their talent, and partly because of Shenxu. Otherwise, if they wanted to break through the Earth Knights, not to mention an extra three to five years would still be needed.

 There is a big difference between an Earth Knight who is twenty-five years old and an Earth Knight who is less than twenty years old.

 “Hoo!”

 “I’m so sorry, Master Thor, it’s so shocking.”

 “Can you tell me how many great knights there are?!”

In silence, Michael finally calmed down his ups and downs, took a deep breath, and looked at Thor again.

"The current number of grand knights should be fifty-four, of which there should be thirty-two grand knights in the Eagle Territory, and the remaining twenty-two are from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce concession."

Thor thought for a moment, and then gave an answer.

 During this period, due to Thor's previous arrangements, the number of great knights in the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has increased a lot.

 “Thirty-two?”

Michael took a deep breath, not too shocked this time.

 There are already four earth knights, and thirty-two great knights are quite normal.

 Okay, normal guy.

 It’s just that they are now numb from shock.

“Master Thor, in other words, there are currently six earth knights including us. If Marshall can break through, there will be seven earth knights and thirty-two great knights.”

Michael forced to suppress the ups and downs in his heart, his eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly.

"right!"

Thor nodded and looked at Michael with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"The seven knights of the earth are already strong enough. Master Thor, I think it is better to take the initiative than wait for them to counterattack."

Facing Thor's doubts, Michael slowly opened his mouth and expressed what he had just thought.

 As for his considerations on coming all the way, he has forgotten them all at this moment.

Those ideas are all based on the fact that Thor is not strong enough.

 It is completely unnecessary now.

 If this kind of strength is not enough, then no strength will be enough.

 “Take the initiative?”

Thor raised his brows, his expression filled with confusion.

 “Yes, take the initiative!”

“In a month or two at most, those powerful noble heirs should return. Master Thor, what do you think the first thing those powerful noble heirs will do when they return?”

Michael's eyes flickered and he spoke slowly.

"do what?"

“They should make trouble for me, or find an excuse, or even no excuse, to directly attack the places I occupy and get back what originally belongs to them.”

Thor thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

 “Yes, they will want to take back what is theirs.”

"Even if he doesn't hesitate to launch a pioneering war, Marquis Lehman is not very good at managing the Northland Province. When the time comes, there will be a second and a third."

“Even if you are strong enough, you will gradually become exhausted.”

 Michael nodded, his words being cautious.
