Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight Chapter 331

Chapter 331: The Kingdom in Chaos, Goodbye Marquis Engel

One hundred thousand years ago, it was the Twilight of the Gods, and it was also the voice of liberation for all races on the continent. In that battle, countless races, including humans, orcs, Warcraft, and elves, united together and worked together to overthrow the rule of the gods. Among them The alliance between humans and elves is undoubtedly the strongest.

Even the reason why humans can have the power to compete with gods is that the elves, dragons, and orcs played a crucial role.

After the gods were defeated.

The continent is also divided into four parts: humans, elves, orcs, and dragons.

Only a hundred thousand years have passed.

The pure-blooded giant dragons have long since disappeared on the continent. It is rumored that the two great empires of mankind turned three continents into the giant dragon clan.

But it's just a rumor.

One hundred thousand years now.

There are only humans, elves, and orcs on the continent.

The number of freedmen and slaves among them has almost increased significantly compared to before.

It's definitely been a long journey.

"Father, are you in the castle now?"

Even for all their knights, it would probably take more than three months to reach the natural forest.

First, we must traverse the entire Tulip Kingdom, and then pass through seven kingdoms: Raymond Kingdom, Black Riding Kingdom, Salka Kingdom, Cersei Kingdom, Gray Wolf Kingdom, One Horn Kingdom, and Macedonia Kingdom, with a total of more than 47,000 people. miles distance.

The group left Eagle Ridge and first entered the Frost Moon Province.

The knight leader spoke with emotion, and looked at Thor's leaving figure with admiration.

"Please, Master Thor!"

There was a young knight next to him, excitedly asking the knight leader just now.

"I'll go there myself!"

The words are filled with admiration and endless longing.

Compared with the orcs, who are almost enemies of humans, the elves still live in the natural forests in the far east of the continent and rarely step out.

"Your Majesty the Marquis, you just came back."

Thor thought for a moment and took the people back to Dressrosa Castle.

The knight spoke respectfully.

"Thor, why, you actually have time to come here now."

Fortunately, there is still more than six months until the Tree of Life bears fruit, so there is no need to be too anxious.

"Is that one Count Thor?"

When Thor and others approached, a group of knights quickly discovered Thor and others and hurriedly gathered over.

"Do you need me to lead you there?"

Marquis Engel spoke with a smile.

Thor shook his head and immediately led the knights towards the castle.

As for the castle, knights have already come to report.

"Yes, that is Master Thor."

Of course, Thor at this moment did not know the emotions of the group of knights behind him. His figure quickly arrived at the castle.

Human beings also seem to have forgotten this area. For thousands of years, few people have set foot in that area.

Three years have passed, and Thor has become a legend in the entire Dressrosa family, no less than Marquis Engel.

Thor was not too surprised that the knight in front of him recognized him.

This legend is even stronger because of Thor's age.

"Need not!"

Until Thor and his party left.

When Thor arrived, Marquis Engel was already outside the castle.

"Master Thor is not just an earl. It is said that he has reached the Sky Knight."

The knight responded respectfully and then moved away.

Compared to before, the town of Dressrosa is currently undergoing a vigorous expansion.

"So young!"

When the leading knight saw that it was Thor, he was startled and quickly dismounted and saluted.

Now he is no longer the transparent person before. As a count, and also a fiefdom count, his reputation and existence have long been engraved in the minds of every member of the Dressrosa family.

"yes!"

Thor and his party want to reach the natural forest.

A few months have passed, and the biggest change is undoubtedly Dressrosa Castle. The former Dressrosa territory has expanded more than ten times in one fell swoop, and the size of the town of Dressrosa has been unprecedentedly increased. The development of Thor, you can feel the obvious difference as soon as you step into Thor.

"Father!"

Thor quickly got off Nia's back and spoke respectfully.

"Let's go into the castle."

"I've asked dinner to be prepared."

Marquis Engel smiled and then led Thor into the castle.

As soon as he stepped into the castle, Torton immediately discovered that the castle was also beginning to expand. It was obvious that with the promotion of Marquis Engel, the entire Dressrosa territory began to expand.

While walking.

Thor followed Marquis Engel in conversation.

"Father, you seem to have acquired a lot of slaves and people. How did you do this?"

Thor spoke curiously.

Territory expansion is easy, but increasing the number of citizens is not so easy.

For Thor, the most critical issue is the issue of the people.

He is really sparsely populated now.

"Hahaha, I was preparing this for you. It's just the right time for you to come here. When you go back, you can bring 100,000 people there."

After listening to Thor's words, Marquis Engel couldn't help but smile.

"One hundred thousand?"

Thor raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

One hundred thousand people is not a small number. Although Marquis Engel had collected one hundred thousand for him before, it was definitely not easy.

This is especially true now that Dressrosa's territory also needs to expand.

As a result, Marquis Engel actually wanted to provide him with 100,000 people at this moment.

"Yes, one hundred thousand people."

Marquis Engel nodded and answered seriously.

"Father, I'm afraid this will affect the development of your territory, right?"

Thor frowned. Although he needed a large population, he was not willing to do so if it would affect the Dressrosa territory.

"Don't worry, these people are not citizens of the territory, but citizens of other territories!"

Marquis Engel smiled and spoke.

"Other territorial citizens?"

Thor was even more puzzled.

"Yes, citizens of other territories!"

"Thor, you are in the Northland Province these days. I am afraid you are not aware of some of the current problems in the kingdom."

Marquis Engel couldn't help but sigh and spoke softly. Facing his father's words, Thor did not interrupt, but began to listen carefully.

"The Kingdom War has suffered heavy losses this time. You should know that the overall noble losses in the kingdom exceeded 40%, and the loss of high-level nobles reached an astonishing 60% or more. This represents ten At least six counts, and possibly seven, were lost among the counts. The cornerstone of the entire kingdom lay in these counts. The fall of these counts directly led to a huge vacuum in the major provinces. Some viscounts, barons, and even those who participated The earls are all ready to make a move, and Shuangyue Province is a little better, but Xiyue Province, Nanyue Province, and even several other small provinces have experienced great turmoil in the past few months. "

"A large number of nobles began to fight and compete with each other, and the territory began to experience large-scale destruction. This caused a large number of free people to become refugees. During this period, even if I did nothing, the number of refugees who poured into the territory exceeded 20 All right."

Marquis Engel spoke with a sigh.

Although this was a good thing for him, Marquis Engel also felt the crisis involved.

The destruction of order undoubtedly caused the greatest damage to the nobles.

And more importantly, Marquis Engel always felt that there might be a big problem.

"so serious?"

"Doesn't the kingdom care?"

Listening to his father's narration, Thor's brows couldn't help but jump, and then he spoke with doubt.

"I don't know. At least the kingdom doesn't have the strength to end it now."

Margrave Engel was equally puzzled.

Although the kingdom is basically laissez-faire towards the nobles below.

But that's if it's not too much.

Now that this situation is considered serious, the Kingdom is still very likely to intervene.

But the result was not.

"this!"

Speaking subconsciously, Thor couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment.

"Okay, these are not things we need to worry about for the time being. Frosty Moon Province is fine at the moment. With you in Northland Province, there should be no nobles interested in it. This turmoil may also be able to help us fill up a lot of the population. "

Marquis Engel smiled and spoke.

Although he also had worries in his heart, it was undeniable that it was indeed a good thing for Thor and him who were expanding.

"makes sense."

"But father, I have to travel far away for a while this time. I only have Renn left in the territory. If father has time in the future, please take care of him."

Thor nodded and then stopped thinking about it.

But after thinking about it, I added it.

"Traveling far?"

"where are you going?"

Marquis Engel was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.

"I want to go to the natural forest, but I'm afraid it will take a year to get there and back."

Thor nodded and then explained.

"Natural forest?"

"Is it that elf?"

Marquis Engel immediately thought of something and spoke in surprise.

Thor nodded slightly.

"Thor, you should know that the natural forest is not a short distance, and there may be many dangers in it."

Marquis Engel pondered for a moment, but couldn't help but speak.

"I know, but father, I should be able to handle it."

Thor nodded slightly.

After listening to Thor's words, Marquis Engel couldn't help but take a deep look at Thor, and then took a long breath.

"It seems that you have made a decision!"

The words were spoken with a sigh.

Along the way, Marquis Engel had already known that his son was extremely opinionated. Generally, the decisions he made could not be overturned at all, and this time it was obviously the same.

"Thank you father!"

Thor smiled and nodded.

"Thank me for what."

"I'll say it first, I can agree to your going, but first let me test your strength. If you can't pass the test, you'd better go back to the north and save the day!"

Marquis Engel spoke angrily.

"Hahaha, I will definitely not disappoint you, Father."

Thor smiled and nodded.

Martial arts training ground.

A sparring session soon began.

Even if Thor didn't explode to his full strength, Thor's current strength is obviously stronger than that of Marquis Engel.

In the end, Marquis Engel couldn't help but give up after being unable to defeat Thor for a long period of time.

"You kid, your strength is probably comparable to that of the Holy Realm!"

"I really don't know how you practice."

Marquis Engel couldn't help but speak.

"Hahaha, Father, I should still be a certain distance away from the Holy Realm, but there should be no problem if I step half way to the Holy Realm."

Thor said with a smile, and the previous battle with the illusory projection in Canaan College could not help but resound in his mind.

He is still somewhat "self-aware" about his own strength.

"Okay, let's go eat first. I have some food. I'll tell you about it later. I know some of the kingdoms you want to cross."

Marquis Engel spoke angrily.

"yes!"

Thor nodded.

The two father and son then entered the restaurant.

An hour later.

The meal is finished.

Thor was called into the study by Marquis Engel.

In the study room.

Soon only the father and son were left.

Marquis Engel also had a solemn look on his face.

"Thor, you should know the seven kingdoms you will pass through on this trip!"

Engel pondered for a moment before asking softly.

"I know, father, they are the seven kingdoms: Raymond Kingdom, Black Riding Kingdom, Sarkar Kingdom, Cersei Kingdom, Gray Wolf Kingdom, One Horn Kingdom, and Macedonia Kingdom."

Thor nodded slightly.

"Yes, these are the seven kingdoms. Among these seven kingdoms, I want to know more about the Kingdom of Black Riding, the Kingdom of Raymond, the Kingdom of Salka, and the Kingdom of Macedonia. As for the Kingdom of Cersei, the Kingdom of Gray Wolf, and the Kingdom of One Horn Basically, I don't know much about it. The most important thing I want to tell you is the Kingdom of Salka and the Kingdom of Macedonia. As for the Kingdom of Raymond and the Kingdom of Black Riding, the strength of these two kingdoms is not strong, not to mention our Tulip. Compared to the Kingdom, even compared to the Blazing Kingdom, there is no need to worry.”

Marquis Engel spoke slowly.

Along with his words, even Thor couldn't help but feel a touch of solemnity.

Although there is a daily intelligence system, he naturally wouldn't mind if he could get more information.
