Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 249 - 170: The Power of Family

Under Brian’s introduction, Thor gained some understanding of the people at this defense point, where over five hundred people are gathered with the primary purpose of defending the ten Magic Crystal Cannons here.

Currently, the highest status belongs to Brian, a Court Viscount. Besides him, there are seven knight teams; the large ones have over a hundred members, the small ones just fifty or sixty. With Thor joining, there are now eight knight teams.

Excluding the personnel Thor brought, of the over five hundred people, there is one Earth Knight, three at Great Knight Peak, ten Great Knights, over three hundred Official Knights, and over two hundred Apprentice Knights.

That’s right, Brian has already become an Earth Knight.

According to the information from Count Engel, Brian was clearly not an Earth Knight.

Brian indeed was not an Earth Knight before.

His breakthrough was quite recent, just within the past ten or so days, and precisely because of this, Brian became the person in charge here.

If all goes well, when he returns this time, Brian is very likely to obtain the title of Court Count.

"Congratulations, Brother Brian!"

Thor smiled as he offered his congratulations.

An Earth Knight, even if not a Noble Lord, is of immense significance.

"Hahaha!"

"Just a stroke of luck!"

"Come, come, let’s have a drink!"

"There’s no alcohol here, only water!"

Brian chuckled, raising a water cup to gesture towards Thor.

"It’s alright, Brother Brian!"

Thor nodded with a smile, raising his own water cup in gesture.

The two conversed.

Occasionally, a Knight Captain would also speak up.

Thor integrated himself very smoothly.

There wasn’t much of a barrier.

The main reason, of course, was the strength Thor brought this time wasn’t weak at all, different from the previous Northern Pioneer Lords. The strength those Pioneer Lords brought, at most a Great Knight, sometimes not even a Great Knight, just hoping to try their luck.

This was certainly not well-received by the knights fighting vigorously.

But Thor is different.

The troops Thor brought this time, not to mention all being Official Knights, also include three Great Knights.

Three Great Knights, even at this defense point location, are already a force not to be ignored.

Adding three Great Knights and twenty Official Knights would certainly make their defense a bit easier.

They naturally were more willing to accept Thor.

Moreover, Thor did not carry any noble airs.

Despite being a descendant of the Dressrosa Family, he remained very humble, integrating naturally with ease.

During the conversation.

A Knight Captain, eyes flickering, hesitantly spoke up.

"Lord Thor, I heard the Northern Province currently has a lot of land available, is it true?"

His words were not loud, yet instantly attracted the attention of many, even Brian was moved.

"There should be quite a lot available."

"The North is almost vacant, even the West has numerous Noble Lords fleeing, retreating."

Seeing the expectant gazes, Thor smiled, nodded, and spoke.

He naturally understood their thoughts.

But it’s not much of a big deal, he certainly didn’t mind talking about it.

"Really?"

Upon hearing Thor’s words, the Knight Captain who inquired initially had eyes shining brightly.

Others were the same.

Although the Northern Province has always been developing, with many Pioneer Lords stepping in every year.

But after twenty years of growth, most good lands have long been occupied, now anyone with some capability in the Northern Province knows there aren’t many good spots left.

This is one reason why fewer people are becoming Pioneer Lords in the Northern Province in recent years.

If it’s just about the investment success rate being too low, amidst the vast nobility of the Tulip region, there would still be some willing to take the risk. The difference only being fewer, yet given the large number of nobles, it wouldn’t be too few. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But when investment risks soar and returns plummet, that’s entirely different.

Currently, amidst the impacts of Beastmen and Divine Revelation attacks, many nobles are fleeing, being destroyed, causing numerous good areas in the Northern Province to become vacant.

The knights here on the Northern Defense Line are undoubtedly the first to know.

Naturally, they’ve developed some ideas.

Thor naturally wouldn’t interfere with their thoughts.

The Northern Province is truly vast; relying solely on him or the entire Eagle Merchant Association would be difficult to digest alone.

Encouraging more nobles and Pioneer Lords to come could further enhance the development of the Northern Province and its economic vitality, thereby maximizing his benefits.

"It’s definitely true."

"The last Beastmen assault destroyed countless territories, many territories fled."

"Gentlemen, if you’re interested, it’s better to prepare quickly, else once the Beastmen calm down, it might be hard to have such an opportunity again."

Thor sighed gently, then spoke slowly.

"Hahaha, thank you, Lord Thor, for the reminder."

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Thank you!"

The voices sounded, hearing Thor’s sigh, he didn’t pay much attention, anyway, it’s not their destruction, naturally no emotion attached, instead more delighted.

Even Brian’s expression showed some intention.

Thor naturally noticed, subtly gesturing to Brian.
