Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 340 - 215: I Didn’t Ask for Your Opinion

Thor looked at the cheerful expressions on the faces of a few people and couldn’t help but wave his hand, speaking coldly.

"Lord Thor, please speak."

"Yes, Lord Thor, how much compensation do you need?"

Listening to Thor’s supplementary words, the seven individuals present were not nervous again but quickly spoke up.

Since they came, the seven Pioneer Lords were naturally prepared to suffer a big loss.

As long as they can endure it, all seven are ready.

"The Northern Alliance invaded my Eagle Territory, and of the nineteen surviving Pioneer Lords, each owes ten thousand Gold Coins. Earth Knights owe ten thousand Gold Coins, Great Knights owe one thousand, Official Knights owe one hundred, Apprentice Knights owe fifty Gold Coins. Since you didn’t invade, each would only need to pay five thousand Gold Coins. Additionally, each of your families must provide one Earth Knight and three Great Knights to work for my Eagle Merchant Association without charge for half a year. If you don’t want to provide knight power, replace the Earth Knight with an additional five thousand Gold Coins, and for each Great Knight, add five hundred Gold Coins."

Looking at a few people, Thor spoke again slowly.

However, the content spoken at this moment made the seven people present involuntarily twitch their eyebrows.

"Gulp!"

"Lord Thor, this—this is too much!"

Someone couldn’t help but swallow, speaking with a hint of urgency.

"Yes, Lord Thor, these Gold Coins are too much, we don’t have so many Gold Coins."

"Lord Thor, we still need territory construction. If we deploy Earth Knights and Official Knights, we can’t proceed with territory construction."

As one person spoke, quickly another spoke with a hardened expression.

However, halfway through their speech, they only felt the air around them suddenly turn cold.

Causing their remaining words to be forcibly stopped.

"Gentlemen, I’m not negotiating with you."

"You don’t have the qualification to negotiate with me!"

"This condition, you can accept it or reject it. If you reject it, you can leave now."

As their words came to a halt, Thor’s voice echoed; his tone was calm, not even emitting any breath, yet at this moment, everyone’s hearts seemed to be tightly clenched.

"Lord Thor, you—you misunderstood!"

"We—we didn’t mean that!"

"Yes, Lord Thor, we’ll do as you say!"

A few people quickly spoke, at this moment, cold sweat couldn’t help but surface, and involuntarily they thought of the news they received earlier; at this moment, they only felt chilled to the bone.

"That’s better!"

"Rest assured, I’m not inconsiderate towards you. You can obtain loans through the Eagle Merchant Association, which can provide all lending matters concerning resources and production materials."

"Additionally, the Eagle Merchant Association can also provide knight leaseholds, similar to the Habbs Commerce Association."

As the few people spoke up, Thor’s face couldn’t help but carry a smile, and his words softened.

"Thank you, Lord Thor!"

"Thank you!"

Listening to Thor’s words, the few people glanced at each other, a hint of helplessness in their eyes, yet at this moment, they could only express gratitude.

They knew very well that they didn’t have room for choice.

This was actually the best outcome, even much better than those twenty Pioneer Lords.

After a war.

The forces of those twenty Pioneer Lords were severely damaged, and they still needed to pay a large amount of Gold Coins.

The Gold Coins they had to pay were less than half; even if they didn’t provide knight strength, the cost required was only eleven thousand five hundred Gold Coins.

But even for these ten thousand Gold Coins, just thinking about it made them feel painful.

Especially among a few, during this Northern Province expansion, the Gold Coins given by the family were just about ten thousand, meaning their startup funds were entirely stripped away.

But what could they do.

If they didn’t give.

Even Moravis Spencer could die, who could guarantee they wouldn’t suddenly be wiped out.

At least their identity was no match for Mora Spencer.

That one was a descendant of a powerful Marquis, while the strongest among them was merely the descendant of an ordinary Marquis, whose family may not be much stronger than Marquis Reman.

"Haha, no need to thank, as a senior, I welcome you all."

"Anna, send these seven Lord Lords off!"

Thor nodded with a smile, then spoke to Anna beside him.

"No need, no need!"

"Lord Thor, this time we are truly grateful!"

The seven wanted to cry, but at this moment they could only quickly speak up.

Then, under the farewell of the Maid, the seven walked out of Eagle Castle.

As they left Eagle Territory, looking at the vast territory behind them, the seven glanced at each other, all had a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"Let’s go, this time we lost."

"Yes, I never thought the Dressrosa Family had such strength."

"Ah!"

A few sighed lightly, then left Eagle Territory with a bitter smile.

Returned to their own territory.

Soon, batches of Gold Coins were handed over to the Eagle Merchant Association, and at the same time, Earth Knights and Great Knights were dispatched by them and joined the Eagle Merchant Association.

Six thousand five hundred Gold Coins.

The seven Pioneer Lords nearly all chose to have their knights join.

After all, acquiring six thousand five hundred Gold Coins wasn’t that easy.

Just for half a year, they knew how to choose.

As Thor received this sum of Gold Coins, half a month had already passed.

Acquiring these Gold Coins, plus an additional seven Earth Knights, over twenty Great Knights, the Eagle Merchant Association’s expansion actions undoubtedly accelerated a few more points.

Thor then conducted several days of discussions with Rajos Assad.

Finally, they completely finalized the development plans for the Eagle Merchant Association going forward.

In the newly devised plan, the Eagle Merchant Association will thoroughly expand throughout the Northern Province in the coming time.

At the same time, with Marquis Reman having lost control over the forces in the Northern Province, the Eagle Merchant Association will further expand its business, such as lending business, such as cooperating with the Assad Family to initiate more trades.

Such as slave trading.

Previously, he dared not touch it because the strength wasn’t enough, coupled with Marquis Reman being present.

At this moment, these issues all vanished.

As the most profitable business in the Northern Province, slave trading, Thor naturally wanted to get involved.

Once the plan is thoroughly completed, then the entire Eagle Territory will inevitably become a true hegemon in the Northern Province; by then, even if he is merely a Viscount, or even just a Baron, his sphere of influence won’t be smaller than a standard Marquis, perhaps even bigger.

However, to accomplish this requires tremendous efforts and cannot be completed overnight.

Don’t say half a year, perhaps two or three years can’t even complete.

But regarding this, Thor is not anxious; he can take his time.

At this moment, in the entire Northern Province, there’s no force threatening him anymore.

While Thor was busy.

Time quickly slipped by a month.

His letter finally reached Frost Moon Province.

Compared to the turbulent Northern Province, Frost Moon Province remained calm; months passed without any change.

Even with the Northern Province turmoil, it seemed barely influencing here.

After the turmoil faded, everything here returned to calm once again.
