Chapter 374 Territory, Territory, Territory

That's right. At this moment, countless caravans gathered on the avenue. Carriages loaded with goods traveled on the avenue. Along the way, there were huge knight groups. Thor even found many noble knight groups, such as a knight group that was obviously a viscount in front of him.

And in the distance, there were still many such knight groups.

In a few years.

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

Not only has the entire eastern part of the Northern Province fallen into Thor's control.

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

Especially Eagle City.

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

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

The current Northern Province and the Northern Territory are completely different from the past.

The previous Northern Province.

With the spread of the pioneering war for more than 20 years.

There are not so many noble knight groups that can go to pioneer.

After all, most of the interests have been occupied.

The benefits of the new life are not enough to make those noble knights take risks.

But it is different now.

They may not have any chance in the Northern Province.

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

If you want to intervene, let alone ordinary noble knights.

Even the top nobles have no chance.

But the North still has unlimited opportunities.

The orcs retreated.

Large tracts 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 pioneering lords.

Such a large number of noble descendants influx into the North has undoubtedly driven the development of the entire North.

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

Even the Fierce Eagle City has risen with it.

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

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

At first.

The Leiman family of Loren City still took some action.

But after trying.

They had to give up.

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

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

And their acquiescence has 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 result can be imagined.

"Let's go!"

"I don't know what the territory is like now!"

Thor chuckled.

He called on the Knights to continue moving forward.

When Thor arrived.

One knight group after another could not help but make way for the road in an instant.

Many knight groups hurried to greet.

The high-flying flag was enough to represent the identity of Thor and his party.

In the Northern Province, or the entire Northern Territory, the Eagle's fluttering flag is undoubtedly the best representative of identity, even more powerful than the Marquis' family.

But no one dared to neglect it.

In a carriage.

Several girls poked their heads out.

"Is that the symbol of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce?"

"So powerful?"

"Yes, that is the Eagle Chamber of Commerce."

"That knight group, I feel they are no weaker than my father."

"Yes, yes!"

Several girls chattered, looking at the knight group in the distance with emotion and admiration.

Many knight groups along the way were the same.

Although Thor's group was not large in number, the powerful aura made many knight groups feel frightened.

Among them, there were even many descendants of the Marquis and Earl families.

But even the descendants of the Marquis and Earl families had never had such a powerful knight group.

Of course, Thor didn't care about these people's feelings at the moment.

He rode his horse.

Soon he arrived at the Eagle City.

And outside the Eagle City.

Ryan, Steve, and Perros were already welcoming them with a large number of knight groups.

The gathering of these people attracted the attention of many knight groups.

Even exclamations were heard from time to time.

After all, both Steve and Perros are big figures in Eagle City, and Ryan is the guardian knight of the legendary figure.

At this moment, they all gathered outside the city gate, as if to welcome someone, how could they not be surprised.

And in their surprise.

A knight group in the distance quickly approached.

Seeing that knight group, everyone's face showed a touch of joy.

"My lord!"

"It's my lord!"

A surprised voice sounded.

The next moment, everyone hurriedly rode up to greet them.

The two groups of people approached quickly.

In the shocked eyes of everyone.

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

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

This scene shocked countless people.

And some people seemed to think of something, and their eyes looking at the young knight changed.

In Eagle City, there is only one person who can be treated like this by these big figures in Eagle City.

The true ruler of Eagle Ridge, the uncrowned king of the North, Count Tordressosa.

The most dazzling genius in the kingdom today.

In the past four years, especially in the past two years, countless people, especially countless knights, have heard of this legendary story.

The second son of the earl resolutely set off to explore the North.

The rise of the North, the canonization of the baron.

The war of expulsion, the canonization of the viscount.

The kingdom war, the canonization of the earl.

Each one is undoubtedly a legend.

Many young knights even regard this figure as an idol.

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

At this moment, countless people exclaimed.

Many people's eyes were shining.

In the distance.

A knight group even stopped.

Several young knights couldn't help breathing heavily.

"My goddess, that, that seems to be Knight Ryan."

"Yes, and Knight Steve."

"They are actually saluting."

"Then, is that one Earl Thor!"

"It must be."

"Oh my God, I actually saw Earl Thor!"

The voices of exclamation came one after another.

Thor and his party were welcomed into the city by Ryan, 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 more than 300,000 at its current scale.

Although these 200,000 people are not likely to be permanent residents, the number of people has indeed increased rapidly.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

According to the situation I learned before.

The population of Eagle Ridge has now reached a level close to 500,000.

Among them, the permanent population of Eagle City exceeds 200,000, and that of Fierce Eagle City is 100,000. In addition, other cities also have a population of tens of thousands.

It can be said that it is not inferior to some earls who have lived for hundreds of years.

What's more important is that the Eagle City is still in the explosive growth period. At the current speed, this population speed can be further guaranteed in a few years.

Especially now that the canal has been opened.

The large tracts of farmland impacted by the Maine River Valley are almost completely used.

At this moment, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce almost supports nearly 70% of the grain trade in the entire North.

70%.

This is 70% of the grain trade in the entire North.

And it is the current North.

This is undoubtedly a terrifying number.

After all, the current background, not to mention tens of millions of people, at least five or six million people.

An ordinary adult usually eats about two to three pounds a day, five million, that is ten million pounds, to fifteen million pounds, 70%, that is more than seven million pounds, this is still the food demand of ordinary people, knights need more, in fact, the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce provides more than 10 million pounds of food every year.

It can be said that now the entire Eagle Ridge coughs, and the entire North has to take a deep breath.

Even big problems have occurred.

In this case, it is really a problem if Eagle Ridge does not develop rapidly.

Of course, Eagle Ridge is not only about food.

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

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

The entire Northern Province and the entire Northern Territory are completely covered in it.

It is precisely because of this.

Eagle Ridge can obtain a large amount of funds and supplies for rapid development.

The footsteps stepped 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 in the early batch have all been converted into freemen.

Thor has already given more generous treatment.

After all, most of the work done by slaves can be replaced by goblins, and only a few cannot be replaced.

Therefore, it has become easier to convert to freemen.

Of course, it is only easier to convert to freemen.

It is not so easy to become a knight.

It is even more difficult now.

It requires stronger talents and more merit points.

"By the way, Ryan, there haven't been any abnormalities in the Northern Province and the Northern Territory recently, right?"

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

He didn't forget 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 countries.

There is no daily intelligence system yet.

But Thor also felt a sense of impending storm.

He wanted to see what Eagle Ridge seemed to feel.

"Abnormal?"

"Not yet!"

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head subconsciously.

But just as Ryan shook his head.

Thor immediately saw that Perros was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"Perros, what's the problem?"

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

He didn't expect that there was really a problem.

"Um, which aspect are you talking about?"

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

"Oh?"

"What do you mean?"

Thor spoke subconsciously, and his figure stopped immediately.

"Sir, during this period of time, I was responsible for the relevant instructions from the Blazing Kingdom. There seems to be something wrong over there."

Pelos hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.

"The Blazing Kingdom!"

"What's wrong? What's the problem?"

Thor frowned. The Blazing Kingdom was one of the three northern kingdoms. He didn't expect that something would go wrong.

"About two months ago, the Blazing Kingdom's court issued an inexplicable order, which was to start a national conscription, supposedly to attack the northern orcs!!"

Pelos nodded and then spoke softly.

"National conscription, attack the northern orcs?"

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

Now almost all the northern orcs have retreated.

In theory, even if there is land and resources to be plundered, there is no need for a national conscription.

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

The last one is a national conscription.

And the three northern kingdoms are basically the same.

The Blazing Kingdom started with a national conscription.

Its goal is still to attack the orcs.

It doesn't look right.

Although it can be barely explained.

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

But this is just a rough explanation.

There is no need to do this to obtain more resources.

There is no information about establishing a state.

I don’t think anyone has obtained enough merit points.

You must know that the kingdom is actually suppressing the development of the nobles.

From the high-level breathing method and the monopoly of high-level resources, we can see one or two.

Even if some nobles jump out and enter the empire, it is not so easy to collect one million merit points.

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

In this way, the problem is obvious.

"Yes, it is a national conscription."

"And it is a full conscription at the beginning, and all nobles must participate. That is why we decided to temporarily withdraw from the Blazing Kingdom."

Perros nodded and spoke seriously.

"You did the right thing!"

"But remember to send a message to Lajos later, asking him to keep a close eye on the Blazing Kingdom."

"Also, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom should also pay more attention and report any abnormalities immediately."

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

There was too little information to know, and even he didn't know what was going on and whether it was related to the Church of the Gods.

He could only speak and give some instructions.

"Yes!"

Pelos responded respectfully.

Then the group continued walking.

An hour later

They returned to the castle.
