Chapter 173 The Power of the Family
After Brian's introduction, Thor also got to know the people at this defense point. More than 500 people gathered here, and their main purpose was to defend the ten magic crystal cannons here.
At present, the highest-ranking one is Brian, the court viscount. In addition, there are seven knight teams. The larger ones have hundreds of people, while the smaller ones have only fifty or sixty people. Now including Thor, there are eight knights. Team.
Not taking into account the men and horses brought by Thor, these more than 500 people have a total of one earth knight, three peak knights, ten great knights, as well as more than 300 formal knights and more than 200 trainee knights.
Yes, Brian is already an Earth Knight.
According to Count Engel's information, it was obvious that Brian was not an Earth Knight.
Brian was indeed not an Earth Knight before.
His breakthrough didn't take long, less than ten days, and because of this, Brian became the person in charge of this location.
If nothing else goes wrong, after returning this time, Brian is likely to obtain the status of court earl.
"Congratulations, Brother Brian!"
Thor congratulated with a smile.
An earth knight, even if he is not a lord or noble, is of great significance.
"Hahaha!"
"It's just a fluke!"
"Come on, come on, do one first!"
“There is no alcohol here, so you can only get water!!”
Brian spoke with a smile and raised his water glass to signal to Thor.
"It's okay, Brother Brian!"
Thor smiled and nodded, then raised his water glass as a gesture.
The two were talking.
From time to time, the knight captain also spoke.
Thor also blended in very harmoniously.
There aren't many barriers.
Of course, the main reason for this is that the power brought by Thor this time is not weak. It is different from the previous pioneering lords of the North. The strength brought by those previous pioneering lords can kill a great knight, and sometimes even a great knight. There are no knights, so I just want to try my luck.
This is definitely not welcome to these desperate knights.
But Thor is different.
The troops Thor brought this time were not only formal knights, but also three great knights.
The three great knights, even at their defensive point, were already a force that could not be ignored.
The addition of three great knights and twenty official knights can also make their defense easier.
They are naturally more willing to accept Thor.
In addition, Thor does not have any aristocratic airs.
Even though he is a descendant of the Dressrosa family, he is still extremely humble, and his integration is naturally very smooth.
During the conversation.
A knight captain, with twinkling eyes, spoke with a hint of hesitation.
"Sir Thor, I heard that your Northland Province currently has a lot of vacant land. Is it true?"
His words were not loud, but they attracted the attention of many people at once, and even Brian couldn't help but feel moved.
"There should be a lot of space."
"The north is almost empty, and even the west has a large number of noble lords fleeing and retreating."
Looking at the expectant looks, Thor smiled, then nodded and spoke.
He naturally knows what these people are thinking.
But it wasn't a big deal, and of course he wouldn't mind talking about it.
"real?"
When he heard Thor's words, the knight captain who had just asked couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
So does everyone else.
Although the Northland Province has been developing, a large number of pioneering lords enter every year.
However, after twenty years of development, a large number of good sites have already been occupied. Now in the entire Northland Province, anyone with some ability knows that there are no good places left.
This is also one of the main reasons why fewer and fewer people have gone to the Northland Province to become pioneer lords in recent years.
If the investment success rate is simply too low, and there are a large number of nobles in Tulip, some people will eventually take risks. The only difference is that there are fewer, but no matter how small it is, with such a huge noble base, there will not be too much less.
But when investment risks increase dramatically and returns drop infinitely, it's completely different.
At this moment, with the impact of the orcs and the impact of the gods, a large number of nobles fled and were destroyed, resulting in many good places being vacated in the Northland Province.
These knights on the northern defense line were undoubtedly the first to know.
Naturally, I had some ideas.
Thor would naturally not interfere with these people's thoughts.
The Northland Province is too big, and it would be difficult to rely on him alone, or the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce.
Allowing more nobles and more pioneering lords to arrive will further increase the development and economic vitality of the Northland Province, and then he will be able to maximize his profits.
"Of course it's true."
"The last time the orcs attacked, I don't know how many territories were destroyed, and I don't know how many territories fled."
"Everyone, if you want, you can prepare as soon as possible. Otherwise, after the orcs calm down, it may be difficult to have such an opportunity again."
Thor sighed and then spoke slowly.
"Hahaha, thank you Mr. Thor for reminding me."
"clear!"
"clear!"
"Thank you very much!"
One voice after another spoke, and when he heard Thor's sigh, he didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't like he was destroying them anyway, so he naturally didn't feel any emotion. Instead, he couldn't help but feel even more happy.
Even Brian had an idea in his expression.
Thor naturally felt it too, and gave Brian a slight signal.
Brian was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Then everyone talked again, and this time the meal came to an end.
After it was over, everyone left immediately and prepared to return to rest.
Too lazy to have free time today, they had to take the time to rest, otherwise no one knew when those orcs would attack again.
Watching everyone leave.
Thor pondered for a moment and spoke to Brian.
"Brother Brian, if you have any ideas, it would be best to have someone come and become the pioneer lord within this month."
Thor is serious.
"This month?"
Brian was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, that's this month."
"There is a territory in the west that was originally the territory of the Feilun family, but it has been evacuated before. That place is quite good. Brother Brian can let people try it."
Thor nodded without saying anything in detail.
Some things are hard to explain and you don't know where to start, so it's better to be direct.
And listening to Thor's words, Brian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He didn't ask.
Since Thor didn't tell him the reason, he naturally wouldn't forcefully ask anything.
He was thinking about whether to proceed.
One month is too short a time.
Many things were not prepared. At most, the eldest son who came with him this time could only go with him.
It may not even be possible to send any force.
His troops, except for his eldest son, all belong to the royal family. He has no right to transfer them away. He only has control over those people and they do not completely belong to him.
"One month is too short. At most I can only go there alone, Stuck. Even if I can support some gold coins, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"Can it be done within three months?"
After pondering for a moment, Brian shook his head before asking Thor hesitantly.
"Three months is too long. By then, other nobles may have already taken action."
"Brother Brian, let's do this. If you want, I can temporarily transfer twenty formal knights from the territory to help Stuke."
Thor shook his head and joked. After three months, conflicts between each other will break out, and it will be almost impossible to develop the territory.
However, he probably understood the meaning of Brian's words, and he pondered for a moment before giving an answer.
As a family member, Thor will still help as much as possible.
Especially since Brian has become an Earth Knight now, Thor naturally doesn't mind giving some kindness to make the relationship between them closer.
"Is it really possible?"
And listening to Thor's words, Brian's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he spoke subconsciously.
"sure!"
"Brother Brian, if Stuke is really ready to become a pioneer lord, I can do it at any time."
Thor nodded solemnly.
"good!"
"Thank you very much."
"Thor!"
Brian spoke with gratitude, his eyes couldn't help but shine at this moment, and he made up his mind directly at this moment.
"Brother Brian, you are too polite."
"we are brothers!"
"Isn't it?"
"This is my token. Let Stuke take it to the territory. Uncle Marshall will hand over twenty official knights to him."
Thor smiled and shook his head, then took off his noble badge and handed it to Brian.
"Yes, our brothers."
Brian nodded quickly and made up his mind. No matter what happened this time, he was prepared to let Thor get the corresponding merit.
Of course, there is no need to say these words.
Brian then called his eldest son, Stork.
The three of them started talking.
Mainly, Brian asked, Thor answered, and Stoker listened nervously.
After Brian made up his mind to make Stoke a pioneer knight, Thor also talked about the current situation of the entire Northland Province and what they needed to face next.
These things naturally need to be explained clearly.
It also allowed Brian to make final considerations.
And listening to Thor's description, even Brian couldn't help but feel his brows twitch.
Stuck couldn't help but his heart was beating violently.
He looked at Thor with a shocked expression.
Neither Brian nor Stoker expected Thor to be so bold.
Dare to forcibly annex the territories of those powerful lords.
The more critical issue is that Thor actually went to gamble on the god Qi.
"Thor, you are like this...!"
Brian couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Brian, are you trying to say whether it's too risky?"
"Brother Brian, you should know that since I can discover it, it is impossible for the kingdom not to discover it. The probability of divine enlightenment breaking out is actually not high."
Thor spoke with a smile, his expression still calm.
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
"Thor, the matter of divine revelation is indeed okay. In fact, the kingdom has known about it a few months ago. There is a high probability that it will not explode as you said."
"But have you ever thought about it? With the strength of our family, we cannot swallow so much territory."
Brian shook his head and spoke softly.
As a court noble, and because of his teacher, he actually knows much more than the average noble.
It’s clear how powerful the kingdom is.
Shenqi and other nobles would be worried, but he was not too worried.
What twitched his brow was Thor's audacity.
How dare you take advantage of this divine opportunity to forcibly annex the territories of those powerful lords.
It's almost crazy.
Once the divine revelation does not break out.
Next, the storm that Thor needs to face is almost unimaginable.
Not to mention the Dressrosa family, even the Assad family may not be able to handle it.
The gap between the earl family and the marquis family is not that big.
In particular, there are powerful marquis families such as Campbell and Spencer.
These families really have sky knights.
Brian didn't know how to describe this moment.
"Indeed, it is difficult for me to swallow this for the previous Dressrosa family."
"But, that was before."
Facing Brian's ups and downs and silence, Thor naturally understood what the other person was thinking, and couldn't help but smile.
"Before?"
Brian was stunned for a moment and spoke subconsciously.
There was also a hint of doubt in Stoker's expression.
"Just before, brother Brian, you probably didn't know that my father had broken through to the Sky Knights a few months ago."
"Today's Dressrosa family may not be afraid of Campbell and Spencer."
Thor chuckled.
Just what he said made both Brian and Stuke's eyes widen in an instant.
"Thor, am I not dreaming? Uncle Engel actually made a breakthrough."
When he heard Thor's words, Brian couldn't help but stand up, with a touch of excitement in his eyes, and a trembling voice as he asked.
"Brother Brian, of course this is not a dream."
"Moreover, not only has my father broken through, but Uncle Marshall will soon break through to the Earth Knight."
"It may even have been a breakthrough."
Thor smiled and nodded. He had naturally expected the reaction of the two people. After all, he had seen this scene before in the west.
(To overdo it, tomorrow will be the beginning of divine revelation)
