Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 58 Post-war Inventory

 “Hahaha, okay!”

“Steve, you did a good job this time, and your merit will be increased by fifty points this time!”

“Also, please help Baron Papy Lawrence and his son Lawrence quickly, don’t let them die!”

Listening to Steve's report, Thor couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect that he would gain such a big harvest this time.

Most of the more than 3,000 people were captured by him, except for the hundreds who were directly killed by the magic crystal cannon and the dozen or so knights who resisted and killed during the attack. Among them was not only Papy Lawrence. Baron, and Lawrence, the eldest son of Baron Papy Lawrence.

 This is really a big harvest.

 In the beginning, Thor actually just wanted to establish his authority.

Hand in hand, resolve the possible threat posed by Baron Papy Lawrence.

 There was no thought at all about whether Baron Papy Lawrence could be captured.

 But now he was caught alive.

Then it is not just a matter of establishing prestige, there is much more that can be done.

Baron Papy Lawrence is a well-established baron in the Northland Province, and his wealth and resources are not small.

He was captured together with his eldest son Lawrence.

 This can make a lot of money at least.

 It can even fill the capacity that is currently in short supply.

How could this not excite him?

"yes!"

  Steve responded and left quickly.

 Start to deal with post-war matters quickly.

 Although the battle ended quickly.

 There are a lot of things to deal with.

  It can even be said to be a lot.

After all, not to mention other things, how to arrange the more than two thousand prisoners is a big problem.

 These are all things he needs to do.

 And watched Steve leave.

Thor began to fall into deep thought.

His eyes were flashing, thinking about what to do next.

 Everything happening now undoubtedly proves that his previous choice was correct.

Having defeated Baron Papy Lawrence and captured his opponent, the initial goal has been reached. His voice will not be ignored by any nobles or pioneer lords in the entire Maine Valley.

If he wanted to, Lajos's caravan could already expand to the entire vicinity.

 As long as we use his banner, I believe there won’t be any problems.

His name will also be something that no lord around him can ignore.

However, this is on the premise that large-scale iron mines are not exposed. If large-scale iron mines are exposed, I am afraid it will still cause panic among the surrounding lords and nobles.

 After all, the temptation of large-scale iron mines was too great. Even if he defeated Baron Papy Lawrence, he could not completely dispel the greed of all lords.

 In this case, he undoubtedly has two choices.

Once he hides it temporarily, as long as no one knows, everything will go according to his ideas.

 II directly subdued all the nobles and pioneer lords in the entire Maine Valley.

 As long as the second point can be achieved, any problem will not be a problem.

 Two roads, two directions.

 Two different options.

 Each choice has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Thor couldn't help but get entangled.

 The first one is indeed the most stable, but accidents will inevitably occur.

 The second risk factor is very high, but it is not impossible.

On the one hand, he has Neal Morton, a top powerhouse, and on the other hand, he has now captured Baron Papy Lawrence. Although the remaining pioneer lords of all sizes in the Maine Valley are powerful, they can be added. It is not much more powerful than Baron Papy Lawrence. With the help of the magic crystal cannon, he is certain to be able to solve it.

 Thoughts are constantly flowing.

Thor's thoughts kept passing by.    While he was thinking.

On the other side, Baron Papy Lawrence and his eldest son Lawrence are receiving treatment quickly.

 There are naturally no priests in Thor's territory.

However, there are still some basic healing magic scrolls, plus some fruits containing life source power.

 Although the injuries of the two men were serious.

However, it stabilized quickly.

 Especially Baron Papy Lawrence, who recovered even faster as a Grand Knight.

 About two hours later, he gradually regained consciousness.

Once he woke up, he quickly understood his situation.

 “Lost!”

 The voice of Qingyu spoke, feeling the bad situation in his body and his current situation, his expression was one of unacceptable.

No one thought that before they were full of hope and wanted to capture Tordressrosa, in the blink of an eye he had become the prisoner of the other party.

 Not even just him, but also his eldest son Lawrence.

 How to make him accept such a result?

　It wasn’t until a moment later that he couldn’t help but sit on the ground slumped.

 Because whether he wants to accept it or not, he did lose.

 He really became a prisoner.

 There was a hint of bitterness on his face.

 As a veteran baron, he knew exactly what losing in the Northland Province meant.

This is not an inland province. There is no order here. All rules are based on strength.

　　If he loses, his entire territory will be completely destroyed if one person fails.

Especially this time, he took away almost 90% of the strength of the entire territory during his expedition.

As long as Tordressrosa sends people to attack their territory now, no, he doesn't even need to send people, as long as he gets rid of them, his territory will be difficult to maintain.

 Either become a pioneer lord again, or wait for destruction.

He could become a pioneer lord, but thinking about his useless and arrogant little son, he had no hope at all.

 He regrets it now.

Regret that I attacked the Eagle Territory.

I also regretted that I brought all my strength, even my eldest son.

Lawrence is more talented than him. As long as he can stay, even if he is finished and he has his eldest son, his territory will not be a big problem.

It’s a pity that the goddess of life will not give him a chance to regret.

 Everything has been settled.

 He can only feel bitter.

Perhaps the only good thing is that the descendant of Dressrosa was kind enough and did not choose to kill them.

 Even rescued them.

Well, let’s just call it kindness.

 Other than that, he didn’t know how to describe it.

 Dusk is gradually coming to an end.

 Night comes quietly.

 The battlefield was quickly cleared.

 A famous knight was taken into custody.

 A large number of slaves were also directly used as slaves here.

Although there is no slave contract, these people have been recognized by Thor as his property.

No matter which option he chooses, Baron Papy Lawrence will inevitably need to pay a large number of compensations, and these people can only be counted as a small part.

It’s just that even Thor didn’t expect that there seemed to be two options but actually only one option.
