Chapter 30: Mobilizing Serfs, the First Opening War Begins

After purchasing the serfs, Thor spent 540 gold coins. Then he bought a large amount of daily necessities, especially food.

After all, if he added 3,000 people, his population would increase from nearly 1,000 to nearly 4,000, and the consumption would naturally be incomparable.

In fact, the consumption of food is the biggest part.

One person consumes 0.4 to 0.5 pounds of food per day, 3,000 people consume 1,200 pounds per day, and 36,000 pounds per month.

The price of food in the entire Northland Province has almost tripled.

Originally, the price of a pound of buckwheat in Frost Moon Province was about three copper coins, but in Frost Moon Province, the price of a pound of food is more than ten copper coins, and sometimes the price of food can even soar to more than twelve copper coins.

This is just buckwheat.

The price of wheat is even higher.

The price of wheat in Frost Moon Province is probably ten copper coins per pound, while in the Northland Province it is fifty copper coins.

The daily consumption of three thousand people, even if it is only buckwheat, is at least 360,000 copper coins a month, which is more than 3,600 silver coins, and 36 gold coins a month. If it is wheat, it will reach more than 180 gold coins, and this is just one month's consumption.

In a year, that is more than a thousand gold coins.

To be honest, even ordinary viscount families may not be able to support it.

Even the pioneering children of the earl family will find it difficult to arrive in a short time.

After all, not every family is like Count Engeldresrosa, who waved his hand and gave hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

For a count family, it is also a huge financial expenditure.

In this case.

Most pioneering lords cannot support it and reach the kingdom assessment standard. This is also a problem.

But for Thor, it is enough to support it for the time being.

The gold coins directly given by his father, Count Engeldresrosa, reached tens of thousands.

Not to mention a year, even two years of expenses are obviously enough.

And with the iron ore.

The economic problems that follow will not be a big problem.

Then there is no need to consider it.

In the evening.

Ryan returned with dozens of knights.

The fierce fire oil was brought back.

At the same time, 3,000 strong slaves of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce were also transported here.

On the second day.

The group set out again in a mighty manner.

Returning to Eagle Ridge.

This time, compared with the first time to Eagle Ridge, the scale is undoubtedly larger.

Along the way, they did not even encounter any monsters.

And because they had already harvested once before, the daily intelligence did not give new gains on the way back this time.

The group returned to Eagle Ridge smoothly after ten days.

The arrival of more than 3,000 people instantly made the entire Eagle Territory lively.

Especially for the original 500 people, they suddenly became nervous. Originally, there were only 500 people competing, and suddenly it became 3,500 people, and the number of people increased seven times. How could they not be nervous.

Thor did not care about their competition.

After returning to the camp, he quickly summoned Steve.

When Steve appeared.

His expression was full of joy.

At this moment, Steve's life force fluctuated more violently.

And this undoubtedly meant that he had taken that crucial step.

"Steve, have you broken through?"

Thor said with a smile.

"Yes, sir!"

Steve was grateful and excited.

He thought he would need at least a few years to become a great knight, or even ten years if he was unlucky, but he never thought that after following Thor, he would break through to become a great knight in just a few months.

It made him feel like he was dreaming.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"It seems that you didn't let me down. Stay stable for a few days. After three days, we will start to act."

"By the way, remember to send someone to learn more about that goblin tribe. I need more accurate information."

Thor nodded, and then spoke with a solemn tone.

"Yes!"

Steve nodded quickly.

The figure quickly retreated.

After confirming that Steve had broken through, Thor's last trace of worry disappeared.

All that was left was to prepare for the action.

Time passed quickly.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Steve completely consolidated the realm of the Great Knight, and at the same time, he had a relatively clear understanding of the large cowardly goblin tribe.

The number of this large goblin tribe is probably between 5,000 and 6,000.

The number is not small, but it is also a little less than expected, and it has not reached such a terrifying number of 7,000 or 8,000.

At the same time, the surrounding terrain has also been explored.

In the room.

Steve and Ryan both gathered in the room.

"Let's get ready to act!"

"Are all the weapons ready!"

Thor spoke, looking at Steve.

"My lord, it's ready!"

Steve nodded respectfully.

"Okay!"

"Then let's go!"

Thor nodded, and at this moment he was also a little excited.

This will be his first battle in the territory. If he can successfully take over the iron mine, the development of the entire territory will enter a high-speed stage, which will be of great significance.

"Yes!"

Steve, and Ryan were equally excited, and the two of them quickly responded.

As the two approached.

More than 3,000 serfs were gathered together in the entire Eagle Ridge.

In three days, the information about Eagle Ridge has spread, and even the newly arrived 3,000 serfs can't help but be excited.

They actually have the opportunity to escape from serfdom, even if this opportunity is extremely small, but they do have it, how can they not look forward to it.

In these three days, these serfs have worked more seriously than ever before.

When the lord summoned them.

No one dared to neglect it.

One after another, figures gathered.

Everyone was looking forward to it, curious, and nervous.

Because just over a month ago, when the lord summoned them, some of them were liberated as free people. This time, maybe it would be the same, how can they not look forward to it.

Even though there was still a month left as promised, everyone still had a fantasy at this moment.

In anticipation and fantasy, their lord, the master of Eagle Ridge, stepped forward from a distance.

"My Lord!"

"Master!"

Voices responded one after another, and knights and serfs saluted respectfully.

Everyone looked at Thor with hope and expectation.

As everyone's eyes converged, Thor's figure also came to the high platform.
