"Hahaha, okay!"
"Steve, you did a good job this time. This time your merit will be increased by fifty points!"
"In addition, please help Baron Papy Lawrence and his son Lawrence quickly. Don't let them die!"
Listening to Steve's report, Thor couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect such a big gain this time.
Most of the more than 3,000 people were captured by him, except for the hundreds who were directly killed by the magic crystal cannon and the dozen or so knights who resisted and killed during the attack. Among them was not only Papy Lawrence. Baron, and Lawrence, the eldest son of Baron Papy Lawrence.
This is really a big gain.
In the beginning, Thor actually just wanted to establish his authority.
By the way, the possible threat posed by Baron Papy Lawrence will be dealt with.
He never thought about whether he could capture Baron Papé Lawrence.
But now he was caught alive.
Then it's not just a matter of establishing prestige, there are more things that can be done.
Baron Papy Lawrence is a well-established baron in the Northland Province, and his wealth and resources are not insignificant.
Together with his eldest son Lawrence, he was captured.
At least this can make a lot of money.
It can even fill the various abilities that are currently in short supply.
How could this not excite him.
"yes!"
Steve responded and left quickly.
Start to deal with post-war matters quickly.
Although the battle ended quickly.
There are a lot of things to deal with.
It can even be said to be a lot.
After all, not to mention other things, how to arrange the more than two thousand prisoners is a big problem.
These are all things he needs to do.
And watched Steve leave.
Thor began to fall into deep thought.
His eyes flickered, thinking about his next step.
Everything now undoubtedly proves that his previous choice was correct.
Having defeated Baron Papy Lawrence and captured his opponent, the initial goal has been reached. His voice will not be ignored by any nobles or pioneer lords throughout the entire Maine Valley.
If he had wanted to, Lajos' caravan could have expanded to the entire vicinity.
As long as it's under his banner, I believe there won't be any problems.
His name will also be something that no lord around him can ignore.
However, this is on the premise that large-scale iron mines are not exposed. If large-scale iron mines are exposed, I am afraid it will still cause panic among the surrounding lords and nobles.
After all, the temptation of large-scale iron mines was too great. Even if he defeated Baron Papy Lawrence, he could not completely dispel the greed of all the lords.
In this way, he undoubtedly has two choices.
Once he hides it temporarily, as long as no one knows, everything will go according to his ideas.
2 directly subdued all the nobles and pioneer lords in the entire Maine Valley.
As long as the second point can be achieved, any problem will not be a problem.
Two roads, two directions.
Two different options.
Each choice has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Thor couldn't help but get entangled.
The first one is indeed the most stable, but accidents will inevitably occur.
The second risk factor is very high, but it is not impossible.
On the one hand, he has Neal Morton, a top powerhouse, and on the other hand, he has now captured Baron Papy Lawrence. Although the remaining pioneer lords of all sizes in the Maine Valley are powerful, they can be added. It is not much more powerful than Baron Papy Lawrence. With the help of the magic crystal cannon, he is certain to be able to solve it.
Thoughts are flowing.
Thor's thoughts kept passing by.
While he was thinking.
On the other side, Baron Papy Lawrence and his eldest son Lawrence were receiving rapid treatment.
Naturally, there are no priests in Thor's territory.
However, there are still some basic healing magic scrolls, plus some fruits containing life source power.
Although the injuries of the two people were serious.
But it stabilized quickly.
In particular, Baron Papy Lawrence recovered even faster as a Grand Knight.
About two hours later, he gradually regained consciousness.
Once he woke up, he quickly understood his situation.
"Lost!"
Qingyu spoke in a soft voice, feeling the terrible situation inside his body and his current situation, with an expression that was difficult to accept.
No one expected that they were full of hope before and thought about catching Tordressrosa, but in the blink of an eye, he had become the opponent's prisoner.
Not only him, but also his eldest son Lawrence.
How to make him accept such a result.
It wasn't until a moment later that he couldn't help but sit on the ground slumped.
Because whether he wanted to accept it or not, he did lose.
He was literally a prisoner, too.
There was a hint of bitterness on his face.
As a veteran baron, he knew exactly what losing in the Northland Province meant.
This is not an inland province. There is no order here. All rules are based on strength.
If he loses, if he fails, his entire territory will be completely destroyed.
Especially this time, he took away almost 90% of the strength of the entire territory during his expedition.
As long as Tordressrosa sends people to attack their territory now, no, he doesn't even need to send people, as long as he gets rid of these people, it will be difficult for his territory to maintain.
Either become a pioneer lord again, or wait for destruction.
But becoming a pioneer lord, thinking about his useless and arrogant little son, he had no hope at all.
He regrets it now.
I regretted my attack on the Eagle Territory.
I also regretted that I had brought all my strength, even my eldest son.
Lawrence is more talented than him. As long as he can stay, even if he is finished, his territory will not be a big problem if he has his eldest son.
It's a pity that the goddess of life will not give him a chance to regret.
Everything has been settled.
He could only feel bitter.
Perhaps the only good thing is that the descendant of Dressrosa was kind enough and did not choose to kill them.
Even rescued them.
Well, let's just call it kindness.
Other than that, he didn't know how to describe it.
Dusk gradually came to an end.
Night came quietly.
The battlefield was quickly cleared.
A famous knight was taken into custody.
A large number of slaves were also directly used as slaves here.
Although there is no slave contract, these people have been recognized by Thor as his property.
No matter which option he chooses, Baron Papy Lawrence will inevitably have to pay a large number of compensations, and these people can only be counted as a small part.
It's just that even Thor didn't expect that what seemed like two options was actually only one option.
(Who can help with some power stones?)
