Chapter 69 Baron Pape’s Anger

Thor's contract is very simple, that is, after signing the contract, they must obey Thor's edict, and at the same time, they need to send their legitimate son to Eagle Ridge to join his knights, and pay a thousand gold coins for training every year, okay , more accurately it should be called tax.

Just use more euphemistic language to describe it.

Compared to the previous ransom, this is naturally much less.

But once this contract is signed, they will become affiliated with Eagle Ridge.

This is simply unacceptable to them.

This is also the main reason why they found it difficult to accept it in the first place.

However, whether it is Papyrus, Baron Valmy, or Baron Graton, they actually have no choice.

Lawrence's territory does have greater strength, but the one who can't resist it is a fool. Papyrus knows very well that if he hands over the territory to his son, it will most likely not take two years, and the entire Lawrence The territory will be destroyed.

As for the other two, they were not much better either.

It is true that their eldest son is still in the territory, and he is not as stupid as the second son of Baron Pape, but their territory is not as good as Lawrence's territory. They have lost their great knight and have a large number of elite knights. As a result, there is no need Say more.

“I agree to sign the contract!”

Baron Graton sighed, then stepped forward and signed the contract as well.

“Baron Grattan, you!”

Looking at Baron Grattan's movements, Baron Valmy looked at him in disbelief.

“We have no choice!”

Baron Grattan sighed softly and couldn't help but shake his head.

There seemed to be two options, but in fact Baron Grattan knew very well that he only had one option.

Because of the first option, he simply could not afford such a huge expenditure of gold coins unless he sold all his territory.

“Sir Thor, you win!”

Baron Valmy couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard Baron Graton's words, and stepped forward the next moment.

“Buzz!”

Ripples spread, and the next moment the magic circle also covered them.

The contract is established.

A strong binding force spread directly to them at this moment.

Let them have to comply.

In the Lawrence Territory, Thor still needs to worry about Baron Pape abandoning himself, but the remaining two Thors don't have to worry about it.

"The right choice!"

“Three of you, you can leave now!”

“Remember to send the people here within seven days, and the ban in your body will be lifted by then!”

Thor chuckled, then raised his hand, and the contract flew back into his hand again.

The three of them sighed and then left the door.

The formal knights and trainee knights who were captured outside all chose to be released.

As for the slaves, of course he kept them.

Even the three of them had to send over the slave contract. Although the three of them were a little unwilling to do so, they did not say anything in the end.

After all, the power of these knights is the most important.

As long as these powers can be preserved, the loss of slaves is a loss.

As he watched the three groups of people leave, Thor couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Contract, this is what he asked Ren to go to Loren City to buy before.

It cost him a full thousand gold coins.

However, the effect is also extremely huge.

The three people signed the contract, which also means that the three baronies have become his dependent territories at this moment, although the gains from direct annexation are huge.

But it was also enough to ensure his absolute hegemony over the entire Maine Valley.

As for direct annexation, that is not something that needs to be considered at the moment. After all, there is still a large area of ​​territory that has not been completed in the entire Eagle Ridge. It is not a wise choice to annex territory that is dozens of miles away.

Instead, incorporating them into their own annexed territories is the best option.

On the one hand, he can mobilize their power like high-level nobles. On the other hand, this will help him integrate the entire Maine Valley and make full preparations for subsequent development.

You must know that his target is not a baron or a viscount.

But to go higher. Even the entire province of Northland.

These are the enemy at present, and his strength will be in the future.

Every baron lord who can rise in the Northland Province is not a simple existence.

If he can obtain their surrender, it will be unimaginable for him in the future.

The eyes converge.

After watching everyone leave, his figure immediately returned to the castle.

In the room.

“The next step is to develop with peace of mind!”

Thor spoke in a whispering voice, his thoughts couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and his eyes looked at the map.

“Crunch!”

The door of the room made a light sound.

Anna walked in carefully, put down a plate of fruit gently, and then left carefully.

A moment.

Thor woke up, looked at the fruit next to him, and then at the drawer that had not moved at all, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Obviously, over the past few months, the half-elf girl has gradually gotten used to it.

The idea of ​​stealing slave indentures was not even given a second thought.

You must know that before, this person had always wanted to escape.

Being able to reach this point now shows that there has been a big change.

With a smile spreading on his face, Thor couldn't help but look at the map in front of him again.

External threats have been resolved.

The entire Maine Valley, except for that idiot on the west side, has been subdued by him.

Although there are still some pioneering lords, with the surrender of the three noble lords, those pioneering lords will no longer have any problems.

Next, he needs to consider the issue of territory construction.

As a lord, war is not the main thing, development is the most important thing.

Moreover, if the Maine River Valley is such a fertile place, Thor feels like he is blaspheming the goddess of life if he does not make good use of it.

As for how to use it.

He already had an idea, but he just lacked the manpower.

But now, the three major lords have given him thousands of slaves, so he can undoubtedly take action.

“No, I still need some talents!”

Thor pondered for a moment, then shook his head again.

 And just when Thor began to think about the next construction.

The three major lords also gradually returned to their territories.

Lawrence territory.

Looking at the returning father.

Opal Lawrence suddenly panicked.

“Father, Father!”

Opal Lawrence spoke with trembling and disbelief.

However.

"bump!"

A dull voice sounded, and the next moment Opal Lawrence's body flew out.

“Don’t call me father, I don’t have this son!”

Pape Lawrence sounded with an angry voice.

For a time, everyone in the entire castle was trembling.

Even if the Baroness wanted to speak, she could not help but lower her head at this moment, and her heart was full of anxiety.

No one thought that Pappy Lawrence could come back.
