Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 374 Territory, Territory, Territory

That's right, at this moment, countless caravans gathered on the avenue. Carriages loaded with goods traveled through the entire avenue. Along the way, there were huge groups of knights. Among them, Thor even found many noble knights. Regiment, for example, a knight regiment that was obviously a viscount appeared in front of him.

 And in distant places, there are not a few such knights.

 In a few years.

 The entire Xiongying Ridge has undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only the entire eastern part of the Northland province has fallen under Thor's control.

 Eagle City and Fierce Eagle City have become the two most important cities in the Northland Province.

 Especially Eagle City.

At this moment, it has completely replaced the role of Loren City.

It has become the commercial and trade center of the entire Northland Province, and even the entire Northern Territory.

 At this moment, the Northern Province and the Northern Territory are completely different from those before.

 The former province of Northland.

 With the pioneering war, it spread for more than 20 years.

There are not that many noble knights who can go to pioneer.

 After all, most of the interests have already been taken up.

 The new interests are not enough for the noble knights to take risks.

 But it’s different now.

 Northern Province Maybe they have little chance.

 After all, most of the power in the Northland Province is currently controlled by Thor and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

If you want to get involved, let alone the ordinary noble knights.

 Even the top nobles have little chance.

 But there are still unlimited opportunities in the north.

 The orcs retreated.

 Large areas of territory were vacated.

 The rich resources in the north undoubtedly attracted a large number of nobles.

In the past few years, a large number of noble descendants of the Tulip Kingdom have gone to the north to become pioneer lords.

 The influx of such a large number of aristocratic descendants into the north undoubtedly promoted the development of the entire north.

 At the same time, as the most important trading city, Eagle City has undoubtedly risen rapidly.

Even the Eagle City followed suit.

As for the original Loren City, no matter how unwilling the Lehman family was, they could only accept it.

On the one hand, the Dressrosa family has been promoted to the Marquis family, and on the other hand, the strength of Eagle Ridge far exceeds their imagination.

 Initially.

The Lehman family in Loren City is still taking action.

 After trying it for a while.

 They had to give up too.

 Because the two are not on the same level at all.

Especially now that Marquis Lehman has fallen, their strength is even worse.

 And their acquiescence undoubtedly accelerated the development of Eagle City.

Even a large number of northern nobles will go to the Eagle Chamber of Commerce to purchase supplies or trade with the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

 The results of this can be imagined.

 “Let’s go!”

“I don’t know what’s going on with the territory now!”

Thor chuckled lightly.

Haunted the knights to continue moving forward.

 And when Thor arrives.

 Each knight group couldn't help but move out of the way in an instant.

 Many knights rushed to pay tribute.

That high-waving flag is enough to represent the identity of Thor and his party.

 In the Northland Province, or the entire Northern Territory, the flag flying with the eagle is undoubtedly the best representative of status, even more powerful than the Marquis family.

 No one dares to neglect.

 In a carriage.

 Several girls stuck their heads out.

“Is that the logo of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce?”

"Amazing?"

“Yes, that’s the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.”

“As for the knights, I feel they are no weaker than my father.”

"Yeah yeah!"

Several girls were chirping, looking at the knights in the distance with emotion and admiration.

 The same is true for many knights along the way.

Although Thor and his party were not large in number, their powerful aura made many knights feel frightened.

There are even many descendants of marquis families and earl families among them.

 But even the marquis and the heirs of the earl family have never had such a powerful knighthood.

Of course Thor has no intention of caring about these people's feelings at this moment.

 His figure is riding a horse.

 Soon we arrived at Eagle City.

 And outside Eagle City.

Ryan, Steve, and Pelos are already greeting them with a large number of knights.

 The gathering of these people attracted the attention of many knights.

 Even exclaimed from time to time.

After all, both Steve and Perlos are important figures in Eagle City, and Renn is the legendary guardian knight.

At this moment, they all gathered outside the city gate, as if they were welcoming someone, how could they not surprise them.

 And in their astonishment.

 A group of knights approached quickly in the distance.

 Seeing that group of knights, everyone couldn't help but have a look of joy on their faces.

"grown ups!"

 “It’s your lord!”

 A voice of surprise sounded.

 The next moment everyone hurriedly rode up to greet him.

 The two men and horses approached quickly.

 In the midst of everyone’s shocked eyes.

　　The adults of Eagle City dismounted their horses and knelt down on one knee.

 In the distance, a young knight rode out slowly with a smile.

This scene shocked countless people.

 Some people seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes on the young knight couldn't help but change.

In Eagle City, there is only one person who can be treated like this by all the important figures in Eagle City.

The true master of Eagle Ridge, the uncrowned king of the north, Count Tordressrosa.

 The most dazzling genius in the kingdom today.

Over the past four years, especially the past two years, countless people, especially countless knights, have heard about this legendary story.

The second son of the earl, resolutely embarked on a journey to open up the north.

 Northland rises and is granted the title of Baron.

 Expulsion war, canonization of viscount.

 Kingdom war, canonized as earl.

 Each piece is undoubtedly a legend.

　　Many young knights even regard this figure as their idol.

No one thought that they would actually see this person with their own eyes at this moment.

At this moment, countless people exclaimed.

 Many people’s eyes were shining.

 A distant place.

 A group of knights even stopped.

 Several young knights could not help but breathe heavily.

 “My goddess, that, that seems to be the Knight of Wren.”

 “Yes, and Steve Knight.”

 “They were actually saluting.”

“Then, is that person Count Thor?”

"Definitely is."

 “Oh my God, I actually met Count Thor!”

Sounds of exclamation came and went.

Thor and his party were welcomed into the city by Ren, Steve and others.

Compared to when Thor left a year ago, Eagle City is indeed more prosperous.

 The population of the entire city is probably over 300,000 based on its current size.

Although these 200,000 people may not all be permanent residents, the number of people has indeed increased rapidly. In fact, this is indeed the case.

 Situation learned before.

 The population of Eagle Ridge has now reached close to half a million.

Among them, Eagle City has a permanent population of more than 200,000, and Eagle City has a population of 100,000. In addition, other cities also have populations of tens of thousands each.

 It can be said that he is not inferior to some counts who have been around for hundreds of years.

More importantly, today's Eagle City is still in the period of explosive development. At the current speed, this population rate can be further guaranteed in a few years.

Especially now that the canal has been opened.

The vast tracts of farmland impacted by the Maine River Valley were almost completely used.

At this moment, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce alone supports nearly 70% of the food trade in the entire northern border.

 70%.

 This is 70% of the grain trade in the entire northern border.

And it is still the northern border today.

 This is undoubtedly a terrifying value.

  After all, in today’s context, there are at least five to six million people, not to mention tens of millions.

An average adult usually eats about two to three pounds a day. Five million means ten million pounds. Seventy percent to fifteen million pounds means more than seven million pounds. This is still the food needs of ordinary people, but knights have greater needs. In fact, the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce provides more than 10 million pounds of food every year.

  It can be said that if the whole Xiongying Ridge coughs, the whole northern region will gasp for breath.

 Even big problems may arise.

 In this case, there is a real problem if Xiongying Ridge does not develop rapidly.

Of course, Xiongying Ridge involves more than just food.

 There are also weapons, supplies, efforts, and life potions.

It can be said that the Eagle Ridge at this moment is the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce that has expanded countless times.

 It completely enveloped the entire Northland Province and the entire Northern Territory.

It is precisely because of this.

 Hong Yingling was able to obtain a large amount of funds and materials for rapid development.

Steps tread on the spacious road.

　　The scene of a large number of slaves along the way is no longer there.

 In fact, a large number of slaves from the earlier batch have all been converted into freedmen.

Thor had long given broader treatment.

 After all, Goblins can replace most of the work done by slaves, but only a few cannot.

 Hence, it becomes easier to become a freeman.

 Of course it is just easier to convert to a freeman.

 It is not that easy to become a knight.

 It’s even harder now.

  Requires stronger talents and more merit points.

“By the way, Renn, there haven’t been any abnormalities in the Northland Province and the Northern Territory recently, right?”

After listening to the reports of several people, Thor seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Ren, who spoke in a deep voice.

He has not forgotten what the dean of the Soul Academy told him when he left.

 Members of the Church of the Gods began to gather towards the three northern kingdoms.

 There is currently no daily intelligence system.

 But Thor also felt a feeling that a storm was about to come.

 He wanted to see what the Eagle Ridge seemed to feel.

 “Abnormal?”

 “Not yet!”

Ryan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but shake his head subconsciously.

But just when Ren was shaking his head.

Toll immediately saw that Perlos was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

 “Perlos, what’s the problem?”

Looking at Pelos, Thor frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

 He did not expect that there was actually a problem.

 “Well, which aspect are you talking about?”

 Listening to Thor's question, Pelos couldn't help but speak.

"oh?"

"What's the meaning?"

Thor spoke subconsciously, and his figure immediately stopped.

“Sir, during this period of time, I have been responsible for the relevant signals in the Blazing Kingdom, and something seems not quite right there.”

Peros pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.

 “The Fiery Kingdom!”

 “What’s wrong? What’s the problem?”

Thor frowned. The Blazing Kingdom was one of the three northern kingdoms. He did not expect that something would really go wrong.

“About two months ago, the Royal Court of the Blazing King issued an inexplicable order, which was to launch a nationwide recruitment. It was said to be to attack the northern orcs!”

Peros nodded, and then spoke softly.

 “Recruit the whole country to attack the northern orcs?”

Thor frowned, even though he didn't know the situation clearly, he felt something was unusual.

Now the orcs in the north have almost all retreated.

Logically speaking, even if there are plundered lands and resources, there is no need for nationwide recruitment.

 In the Tulip Kingdom, there are generally three types of mobilization.

 The last one is nationwide recruitment.

 The three northern countries are basically the same.

The Blazing Kingdom starts with a nationwide recruitment.

 The goal is still to attack the orcs.

 It doesn’t look right no matter how you look at it.

 Although it can barely be explained.

For example, it is possible to obtain more resources, or someone wants to establish a state.

 But this is only a reluctant explanation.

 This is not necessary to obtain more resources.

 Fengguangjianguo, there is currently no relevant information.

 Thinking about it, no one has obtained enough merit points.

 You must know that the kingdom actually suppresses the development of major nobles.

 You can see one or two from the high-level breathing method and the monopoly of high-level resources.

Even if a nobleman jumped out and entered the empire, it would not be easy to collect one million merit points.

 In other words, ordinary nobles may not be able to collect it all after hundreds of years of accumulation.

 In this case, the problem becomes obvious.

“Yes, it’s a nationwide call-up.”

"And all the nobles must participate in the recruitment from the beginning. Because of this, we decided to temporarily withdraw from the Blazing Kingdom."

Peros nodded and spoke seriously.

 “You did the right thing!”

“But remember to send a message to Lajos later, asking him to pay close attention to the Blazing Kingdom.”

“In addition, the Purple Flower Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom also increase your attention. If anything goes wrong, remember to report it immediately.”

Thor took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

There is too little information available. Even he does not know what is going on and whether it is related to the Church of the Gods.

 He could only speak and give some instructions.

"yes!"

Peros responded respectfully.

 The group of people then continued walking.

  an hour later

 Everyone returned to the castle.

 Compared with the original castle, the current Eagle Castle has undoubtedly expanded a lot.

 The besieged castle is enough to overlook the entire Eagle City.

Even enough to overlook most of the Maine River Valley

 In this extraordinary world, architecture does not need to worry about being too high.

 After all, magic can solve ninety-nine percent of problems.

 The knight can also solve the remaining one percent.

 Return to the castle.

Thor first arranged a place for Katerina.

This one still needs some time to recover, so we can only follow him temporarily.

 In this regard, Katerina did not refuse.

 But he stayed with peace of mind.

　　It’s just that the seventh princess of the empire has always been cold and speechless.

Thor didn't care about this either.
