Chapter 341 - 216: Thor Is Really That Awesome???
Dressrosa Castle.
Inside the study.
Count Engel leafed through the book in his hands. After a moment, he put the book down and slightly furrowed his brow.
"Only two years left, I wonder if I can seize this opportunity!"
Count Engel murmured to himself.
His heart involuntarily carried a hint of gravity.
As a member of the Dressrosa Family, merely being a Count’s Clan was not enough to advance further; it required him to be promoted to a Sky Knight and also acquire enough merit points, which couldn’t be gained from the current Beastman War.
After all, today’s Beastmen were not like before. With the Behemoth King gone and Behemoths retreating to the Holy Mountain, the difficulty had undoubtedly decreased significantly, and naturally, the merit points had also dropped drastically.
The only way to earn a substantial amount of merit points was through the Kingdom War.
However, even in the Kingdom War, ensuring enough merit points was challenging, even for a Sky Knight like himself.
He was very strong, especially after acquiring the Silver Moon Breathing Technique. Count Engel felt confident even when facing a mid-stage Sky Knight.
But the problem was that the Kingdom War would involve not only mid-stage Sky Knights but also Sky Knight Peaks, and perhaps even those who could wield a Domain, which he couldn’t handle.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
While pondering, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Count Engel gathered his thoughts, looked at the wooden door, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Master!"
Butler Charlie walked in, his demeanor respectful.
"What is it?"
Count Engel looked at Butler Charlie with curiosity.
"Master, Young Master Thor has sent a letter!"
Butler Charlie respectfully replied and handed over a letter sealed with red wax.
"A letter from Thor?"
Count Engel was somewhat surprised but then smiled.
With this son whom he hadn’t paid much attention to before, Count Engel was extremely pleased over time.
Especially the actions of his son recently, which even left him feeling astonished.
Thor returned to the Northern Province.
In just a few months, he not only unified the entire Dressrosa Family of the Northern Province but also, with the advantage of the Divine Revelation, occupied many resource points of the powerful nobility in the Northern Province.
Whether in courage, means, or determination.
Thor undoubtedly exhibited these qualities superbly.
Although there were still areas lacking consideration.
It was already incredible.
After all, Thor even leveraged his breakthrough to Sky Knight for maximum value.
He utilized his given resources to the utmost extreme, reaping great rewards.
Even when subsequent powerful noble descendants arrived, with his status as a Sky Knight, even if he had to give back some, he could still retain over thirty percent of the resource points.
This detail was invaluable to Thor.
"Send Michael to assist him; it seems Thor has sent some news back."
"I hope it’s not bad news."
"This time, I didn’t showcase my strength as a Sky Knight. He might be in some trouble."
With a smile on his face, Count Engel couldn’t help but chuckle as he thought about it.
Over time, Count Engel was well aware of the situation in the Northern Province. With the Behemoth King exiled and Behemoths retreating to the Holy Mountain, the territories of the Three Great Kingdoms expanded by over three thousand miles.
Such a vast territory incited a frenzy among the nobles of the Three Great Kingdoms.
This time, a considerable number of powerful noble descendants stepped into the Northern Territory.
From what he knew, families stronger than Count’s Clans were already on the move.
Even the descendants of those three top-level Marquis families were also in action.
Such power, even if only one-tenth drifted to the Northern Province, would mean significant trouble for Thor.
Even though he dispatched Michael and Cheshire to assist Thor, their strength, while sufficient within Count’s Clans, might not be as effective against the Marquis Families.
Moreover, it was not just one family, but an unknown number.
Holding massive resource points throughout the Northern Province, Thor was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence, and Count Engel could almost envision what Thor would face.
With Michael and Cheshire there, he wasn’t worried about Thor’s safety, but he was curious about how Thor would handle it.
"Young Master Thor is very capable, and with the help of Knight Michael and Knight Cheshire, it will surely be good news."
Butler Charlie spoke with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
"In that case, I’m truly looking forward to it."
Speaking, Count Engel then opened the letter sealed with red wax in his hand.
His eyes fixed on the letter.
Soon, lines of words came into view.
"Honored Father, I, Thor Dressrosa, your son, under the protection of the Goddess of Life, have made considerable progress in expanding the territory. However, you should know that due to the absence of Divine Revelation, the turmoil in the Northern Territory and the Kingdom’s expansion have drawn more attention to the Northern Territory. Many nobles arrived in the Northern Province months ago, and by the Goddess, they have set their sights on the Eagle Territory......!"
As he read the contents of Thor’s letter, Count Engel’s face lit up with a smile.
