Chapter 142 Returning to the territory, being targeted by a coalition

As a territorial noble, the most important thing is the territory. Once the territory is lost, the noble will not only lose the source of power, but also lose the future.

It is impossible for the kingdom to give you another territory, and it is also difficult to obtain another territory.

For pioneer lords, if they want to advance to the nobility, they need not only merit, but also territory.

One hundred meritorious deeds can earn you the title of Baron of the Kingdom.

But that's when you own the territory.

Once you lose your territory, let alone one hundred points of merit, even if you have ten thousand points of merit, it will be difficult to obtain the status of a territorial noble. At most, you will only be a palace noble.

Not every lord could accept such a result.

So if there is even a slight possibility, they will not give up.

But this may not necessarily be an opportunity.

Divine revelation is about to begin.

Even if the kingdom can stop it.

It can even nip losses in the bud.

But these nobles on the front lines may not be affected.

Of course this has nothing to do with Thor.

After understanding the general situation.

Early the next morning, his figure headed back toward the eagle.

Seven days passed quickly.

Bon Voyage.

Thor finally returned to the Eagle Territory after almost four months.

The entire Eagle Territory has undoubtedly undergone great changes compared to before he left. The most obvious point is that the entire Eagle Territory has almost doubled in size.

More farmland was cultivated.

The wheat seedlings sprouted new sprouts one after another.

The canal dug by the goblins passed through the wheat field.

In the farmland, the busy figures couldn't help but smile.

Thor's arrival attracted the attention of many people.

But soon they recognized the Lord.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

Voices sounded one after another, and slaves, free people, and knights all saluted respectfully along the way. The figures from Frosty Moon Province following Thor followed, looking at this scene with shock. .

Even though they had heard about the appearance of the Eagle Leader, they were still shocked when it actually appeared in front of them.

This is not the bitter cold place they imagined.

The development here even gives them a feeling that is not inferior to Shuangyue Province.

Thor's reputation as a lord has reached an unprecedented level.

"Is this the Eagle Territory?"

Among the three pharmacists, Entos muttered to himself.

"Sir, this is amazing!"

Christie couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, there was another change in the way they looked at Thor.

Of course, it's not just them, even the famous knight assigned to him by Count Engel again, as well as the affairs officers, are all the same.

Even Marshall looked a little shocked.

His eyes kept looking at the entire territory, and then focused on Thor.

And while everyone was shocked.

In the distance, a group of people had appeared outside the town.

The leaders were Ren and Steve.

Watching Thor and others approach.

Ren and Steve quickly ran over.

"grown ups!"

Ren and Steve spoke respectfully.

"well done!"

“It’s hard work these days!”

Thor smiled and nodded.

He was extremely satisfied with his two subordinates.

During the time he left, Steve handled the entire Eagle Territory pretty well. Although there were some problems, the overall situation was pretty good.

Renn also did well in business.

And looked at the two people.

Some of the people brought behind by Thor looked a little shocked.

The aura of both of them was that of a great knight.

They couldn't help but look at Peros again.

Some knights couldn't help but get a little excited.

Three great knights.

Including Master Thor, those are four great knights.

The ability to open up territory in this way can be said to be extremely gorgeous.

They don't seem to have to worry about the future at all.

Compared to their excitement, Marshall looked shocked again.

Ren, he knew that Thor had brought him back from the small town more than a year ago. In less than two years, this one had actually reached the rank of Great Knight.

How long did it take for him to step into the Great Knight before.

Ten years, fifteen years, or longer.

Marshall couldn't remember exactly, except that it took a long time.

Of course, at this moment, Thor ignored the shock and impact of bringing these people to him.

Ren, and Steve didn't care either.

"Sir, you are exaggerating!"

Hearing Thor's praise, the two anxious people couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ren, and Steve couldn't help but speak.

"Let's go back first!"

"Steve, please sort out the affairs in the territory during this period and give it to me later."

Thor shook his head and did not continue to dwell on this. Instead, he spoke softly and gave instructions.

"Sir, we are ready!"

"You can always look it up."

Steve nodded and immediately led Thor towards the town.

Then the group stepped into Eagle Town.

At this moment, compared to before, Eagle Town can really be regarded as a small town.

The number of residents in the town gradually increased.

The past four months.

After asking Thor for instructions, Steve went to Loren City again to buy 3,000 slaves.

The scale of the town has reached nearly 10,000 people. In addition to several clearings around, under Thor's deliberate instructions, the number of free people has increased, and it is naturally more prosperous.

Even though they haven't seen each other for four months, when Thor appeared, one figure after another quickly greeted him with excitement and blushing.

Thor nodded.

Everyone quickly walked into the castle.

In the castle.

The banquet has begun.

After a sumptuous dinner.

The figures who followed Thor became more and more stable.

Because at this moment, the Eagle Territory no longer needs anything to calm people's hearts. The Eagle Territory itself is the most reassuring place.

In the study.

Steve and Ryan gathered again.

Thor sat at the desk.

Flipping through the relevant information that Steve sorted out and sent.

No one spoke.

Steve and Ryan waited quietly with nervousness.

Time passed by in this minute and second.

Half an hour later.

Thor finished reading all the documents in front of him, stopped his action, and frowned slightly.

It was not because the development of Eagle Territory made him dissatisfied.

The entire Eagle Territory, whether it was what he saw or the content described in these documents, made him extremely satisfied.

Up to now, there are already two small towns, and the third town is under construction.

The population is as high as nearly 15,000, of which free people have reached 1,000.

The extraordinary power has also been greatly improved.

Before he left, there were only 43 formal knights in the entire Eagle Territory, and only 132 apprentice knights.

But in just four months, the number of formal knights has increased from 43 to 45, an increase of two again, and the number of apprentice knights has increased even more. After four months, a large amount of resources have been tilted, and the number of apprentice knights has increased from 132 to 151, a full increase of 19.

This is undoubtedly a terrifying number.

If you add what Earl Engel gave this time,

The number of his official knights reached 65 at one stroke, and the number of trainee knights exceeded 200. His strength was undoubtedly greatly improved.

Even if he was placed in the western region, he was qualified to occupy a section of the Danube.

If Marshall was taken into account, he could even occupy a section of the Danube with large naval production.

At the same time, in addition to these, the grain production of the Eagle Territory was also greatly improved. Even with the population growth and thousands of goblins, he was enough to meet the needs of the territory.

And this was before. Once the newly reclaimed farmland was harvested, the grain could even be greatly surplus.

Not to mention the annual trade income.

In four months, his harvest officially exceeded 5,000 gold coins.

This was without opening the supply of silver armor. Once it was opened, it would not be impossible for the income to double again.

All this undoubtedly represented that the entire Eagle Territory had truly passed the initial pioneering period and it was time to start harvesting.

But what made Thor frown was the development of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

That's right, it was the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce did bring about vigorous development.

The income has indeed increased a lot. Thor has 50% of the income, which has reached 5,000 gold coins. The income of the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce in the past four months has reached 10,000 gold coins.

This is 10,000 gold coins. Many earldoms have only this much income.

The Eagle Chamber of Commerce has reached 10,000 gold coins in just four months.

According to this situation, the annual income can definitely reach 30,000 gold coins.

This is undoubtedly a terrifying number.

However, Thor can also feel something wrong in this number.

That is, the income of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has stopped growing a month ago, and even this month there is a small arc decline.

Theoretically, this is impossible.

With Thor's business method.

The income of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce will continue to grow in a snowball manner, and will gradually stop when it reaches a saturation stage.

What is saturation?

Thor doesn't know.

But it is definitely more than 30,000 gold coins.

Marquis Lehman only has one city, Loren, and the annual gold coin income is more than 100,000.

Let alone other things, the ruined north alone cannot have so few gold coins at this moment.

How could it be saturated with 30,000?

Then there must be a problem.

"Ryan, what's going on with the Eagle Chamber of Commerce?"

Thor put down the documents in his hand and looked at Ryan.

Lajos is not here at present, and Ryan is the one who has the most contact with the Chamber of Commerce. He also believes that Ryan should give him the corresponding reasons.

"Sir, this!"

Ryan spoke subconsciously, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Ryan's hesitant eyes, Thor's expression was condensed.

"Sir, the situation is a bit complicated!"

Steve spoke, and his expression was also solemn.

"Oh?"

Thor looked at Steve.

"Sir, the Chamber of Commerce's actions went smoothly at the beginning, and it even quickly established a large channel in the west. Lord Lajos connected with more than 40 pioneer lords in just a few months."

"Before last month, it expanded to 67 pioneer lords, but this also attracted the attention of those in the west. Since last month, they have been interfering, blocking, and even attacking our Chamber of Commerce."

"Yes, sir, they even ambushed one of our caravans last week. Although there was no loss of personnel, the loss of materials was not small. In addition, more importantly, they began to set up checkpoints. We had to pay high taxes to pass through, and the expansion of the Chamber of Commerce became more and more difficult."

Steve spoke softly and slowly narrated the whole situation, and Ryan also supplemented it.

Listening to the words of the two.

Thor finally understood what was going on.

Obviously, the emergence of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce directly touched the interests of the powerful noble lords in the west.

As powerful nobles, most of the entire west, or the entire northern province, are their leeks.

Marquis Lehman was high above, and only controlled the slave trade. As for other restrictions, they were not so strict.

In this case, this piece of cake was naturally targeted by some powerful noble lords.

They had enough resources and enough strength.

Enough to harvest continuously.

But the emergence of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce broke this convention.

The leeks that were originally thought to grow in their own vegetable garden were cut by others.

These people would be angry.

Thor even suspected that the biggest reason why the other party did not directly physically destroy the Eagle Chamber of Commerce was the threat of the Dressrosa family.

As a famous pioneering knight family.

In the Northland Province, the Dressrosa family has not only Tono and Thor, but also many others.

This power is not weak.

Maybe it is because of this that they dare not kill them.

They can be blocked and interfered.

Even disgusting them is inevitable.

Special level this move.

Thor has seen it in the Frost Moon Province.

This is the case in places where the system in Shimokatsuki Province is almost perfect. In the Northern Province, the effect is even more unimaginable.

Because in Shimokatsuki Province, you need to worry about exhausting the resources, but in the Northern Province, you don't need to worry about this.

And the only one who is restricted is the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to worry at all.
