Chapter 173 The power of family

With Brian's introduction, Thor also got to know the people at this defense point. More than 500 people gathered here, and their main purpose was to defend the ten magic crystal cannons here.

At present, the highest-ranking one is Brian, the court viscount. In addition, there are seven knight teams. The larger ones have hundreds of people, while the smaller ones have only fifty or sixty people. Now including Thor, there are eight knights. Team.

Disregarding the men and horses brought by Thor, among the more than 500 people, there are a total of one earth knight, three peak knights, ten great knights, as well as more than 300 formal knights and more than 200 trainee knights.

That's right, Brian is already an Earth Knight.

From Count Engel's information, it is obvious that Brian is not an Earth Knight.

Bryan was indeed not an Earth Knight before.

His breakthrough did not take long, only less than ten days. Because of this, Brian became the person in charge of this location.

If nothing else happens, after returning this time, Brian is likely to obtain the status of court earl.

“Congratulations, Brother Brian!”

But Thor is different.

His words were not loud, but they attracted the attention of many people at once, and even Brian couldn't help but feel moved.

The troops Thor brought this time were not only formal knights, but also three great knights.

"real?"

This is also one of the main reasons why fewer and fewer people have gone to the Northland Province to become pioneer lords in recent years.

This is definitely not a welcome sight for these desperate knights.

“Sir Thor, I heard that your Northland Province currently has a lot of vacant land, is it true?”

These knights on the northern defense line are undoubtedly the first to know.

“It was just a fluke!”

He naturally knows what these people are thinking.

There are not many barriers.

“There should be a lot of space.”

“The north is almost empty, and even the west has a large number of noble lords fleeing and retreating.”

An earth knight, even if he is not a lord or noble, is of great significance.

During conversation.

If the investment success rate is simply too low, there will be a large number of nobles in Tulip, and some people will eventually take risks. The only difference is that there will be fewer, but no matter how small it is, with such a huge noble base, there will not be much less.

The two of them were talking.

“Come on, come on, do one first!”

Brian said with a smile, raised his water glass and gestured towards Thor.

Thor congratulated with a smile.

“There is no alcohol here, we can only get water!”

From time to time, the knight captain also spoke.

“It’s okay, brother Brian!”

Hearing Thor's words, the knight captain who had just asked couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

But when the investment risk increases sharply and the income decreases infinitely, it is completely different.

A knight captain, with twinkling eyes, spoke with a hint of hesitation.

In addition, Thor does not have any aristocratic airs.

The three great knights, even at their defensive point, are already a force that cannot be ignored.

But it’s not a big deal, and of course he doesn’t mind talking about it.

They are naturally more willing to accept Thor.

Even though he is a descendant of the Dressrosa family, he is still extremely humble, and his integration is naturally very smooth.

Thor smiled and nodded, then raised his water glass as a gesture.

Three more great knights and twenty formal knights can also make their defense easier.

Looking at the expectant eyes, Thor smiled, then nodded and spoke.

Although the Northland Province has been developing, a large number of pioneering lords enter every year.

"Hahaha!"

Of course, the main reason for this is that the power brought by Thor this time is not weak. It is different from the previous pioneering lords of the North. The strength brought by those previous pioneering lords can kill a great knight, and sometimes even a great knight. There are no knights, so I just want to try my luck.

At this moment, with the impact of the orcs and the divine revelation, a large number of nobles fled and were destroyed, resulting in many good places being vacated in the Northland Province.

Thor also blended in very harmoniously.

However, after twenty years of development, a large number of good sites have already been occupied. Now in the entire Northland Province, anyone with some ability knows that there are no good places left.

The same goes for other people.

Of course I have some ideas.

Thor will naturally not interfere with the thoughts of these people.

Northern Province is too big, and it would be difficult to rely on him alone, or the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

Letting more nobles and more pioneering lords arrive will further increase the development and economic vitality of the Northland Province, and then he will be able to maximize his profits.

“Nature is true.”

“The last time the orcs attacked, I don’t know how many territories were destroyed, and I don’t know how many territories fled.”

“Everyone, if you want, you can prepare as soon as possible. Otherwise, after the orcs calm down, it may be difficult to have such an opportunity again.”

Thor sighed, and then spoke slowly.

“Hahaha, thank you, Mr. Thor, for reminding me.”

"clear!"

"clear!"

“Thank you very much!”

One voice after another spoke, and when he heard Thor's sigh, he didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, it was not that they were destroyed, so naturally he didn't feel any emotion, but he couldn't help but feel more happy.

Even Brian had an idea in his expression.

Thor naturally felt it and gave Brian a slight signal.

Brian was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Then everyone talked again, and this time the meal came to an end.

After the ceremony, everyone left immediately and prepared to return to rest.

They were too lazy to have free time today, so they had to take the time to rest, otherwise no one knew when the orcs would attack again.

Watching everyone leave.

Thor thought for a moment and spoke to Brian.

“Brother Brian, if you have any ideas, it’s best to send someone to become a pioneer lord within this month.”

Thor is serious.

"This month?"

Brian was stunned for a moment.

“Yes, it’s this month.”

"There is a territory in the west that was originally the territory of the Feilun family, but it has been evacuated before. That place is quite good. Brother Brian can let people try it."

Thor nodded without saying anything in detail.

Some things are hard to explain and you don’t know where to start, so it’s better to be direct.

Listening to Thor's words, Brian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He did not ask.

Since Thor didn't tell him the reason, he naturally wouldn't forcefully ask anything.

He was thinking about whether to proceed. One month is too short.

Many things were not prepared. At most, the eldest son who came with him this time could only go with him.

It may not even be possible to send any force.

His men and horses, except for his eldest son, all belong to the royal family. He has no right to transfer them away. He only has control over those people and they do not completely belong to him.

"One month is too short. The best I can do is go alone. Even if I can support some gold coins, it will be difficult."

“Can it be done within three months?”

After pondering for a moment, Brian shook his head and then asked Thor with a hesitant question.

“Three months is too long. By then, other nobles may have already taken action.”

"Brother Brian, if you want, I can temporarily transfer twenty formal knights from the territory to help Stuke."

Thor shook his head and joked, after three months, conflicts between each other will break out, and it will be almost impossible to develop the territory.

However, he probably understood the meaning of Brian's words. He pondered for a moment and gave an answer.

As a member of the family, Thor will still help as much as possible.

Especially since Brian has become an Earth Knight now, Thor naturally doesn't mind giving some kindness to make the relationship between them closer.

"Is it really possible?"

Hearing Thor's words, Brian's eyes couldn't help but brighten, and he spoke subconsciously.

"sure!"

"Brother Brian, if Stuke is really ready to become a pioneer lord, I can do it at any time."

Thor nodded solemnly.

"good!"

“Thank you very much.”

“Thor!”

Brian spoke with gratitude, his eyes couldn't help but shine at this moment, and he made up his mind directly at this moment.

“Brother Brian, you are too polite.”

"we are brothers!"

“Isn’t it?”

“This is my token, let Stuke take it to the territory, and Uncle Marshall will hand over twenty official knights to him.”

Thor smiled and shook his head, then took off his noble badge and handed it to Brian.

“Yes, our brothers.”

Brian nodded quickly, and made up his mind in his heart. No matter what happened this time, he was prepared to let Thor get the corresponding merit.

Of course there is no need to say these words.

Then Brian called his eldest son Stork.

The three of them started talking.

Mainly Brian asked, Thor answered, and Stoker listened nervously.

After Brian made up his mind to make Stoker a pioneer knight, Thor also talked about the current situation of the entire Northland Province and what they needed to face next.

These things naturally need to be explained clearly.

It also allows Brian to make final considerations.

Hearing Thor's description, even Brian couldn't help but feel his brows twitch.

Stuke’s heart could not help but beat violently.

Looked at Thor with a shocked face.

Neither Brian nor Stoker expected Thor to be so bold.

Dare to forcibly annex the territories of those powerful lords.

The more critical issue is that Thor actually went to gamble on the **** Qi.

“Thor, you are like this.!”

Brian couldn't help but speak.

“Brother Brian, are you trying to say whether it’s too risky?”

“Brother Brian, you should know that since I can discover it, it is impossible for the kingdom not to discover it. The probability of divine revelation is actually not high.”

Thor spoke with a smile, his expression still calm.

“That’s not what I’m talking about!”

"Thor, the matter of divine revelation is indeed okay. In fact, the kingdom has known about it a few months ago, and there is a high probability that it will not break out as you said."

"But have you ever thought about it? With the strength of our family, we cannot swallow up so much territory."

Brian shook his head and spoke softly.

As a court noble, and because of his teacher, he actually knows much more than the average noble.

It is clear how powerful the kingdom is.

Shenqi and other nobles would be worried, but he was not too worried.

What twitched his brow was Thor's boldness.

How dare you take advantage of this divine opportunity to forcibly annex the territories of those powerful lords.

It can be said to be crazy.

Once the divine revelation does not break out.

The storm that Thor needs to face next is almost unimaginable.

Let alone the Dressrosa family, even the Assad family may not be able to handle it.

The gap between the earl family and the marquis family is not that big.

Especially among them are the powerful marquis families such as Campbell and Spencer.

These families really have sky knights.

At this moment, Brian didn’t know how to describe it.

"Indeed, for the previous Dressrosa family, it is difficult for me to swallow these."

“But, that was before.”

Facing Brian's ups and downs and silence, Thor naturally understood what the other person was thinking, and couldn't help but smile.

"Before?"

Brian was stunned for a moment, then spoke subconsciously.

Stoke also had a hint of doubt in his expression.

“Just before, brother Brian, you probably didn’t know that my father had broken through to the Sky Knights a few months ago.”

"The Dressrosa family today may not be afraid of Campbell and Spencer."

Thor chuckled lightly.

Just what he said made both Brian and Stoker's eyes widen in an instant.

"Thor, aren't I dreaming? Uncle Engel actually made a breakthrough."

When he heard Thor's words, Brian couldn't help but stand up, with a touch of excitement in his eyes, and a trembling voice as he asked.

“Brother Brian, of course this is not a dream.”

“Moreover, not only has my father broken through, but Uncle Marshall will soon break through to the Earth Knight.”

“Maybe even a breakthrough has been made.”

Thor smiled and nodded. He had naturally expected the reaction of the two people. After all, he had seen this scene in the west.

(To put it another way, tomorrow is the day when the divine revelation will begin)
