According to the laws of the kingdom, every pioneer lord has the right to protect his own territory. This is also the law of the kingdom that must be observed.
Once the territory is abandoned, the identity of the pioneer lord will no longer exist.
Even if you use the atonement money, that territory will no longer belong to you, and the kingdom will only redivide the territory and give it to you.
The Minotaur attack caused more than a dozen lords in the Maine Valley to flee, and these territories were eventually divided among the six lords of the Maine League.
No one has any psychological barriers to this kind of carving up.
After all, those pioneering lords had abandoned their own territories. They protected the Maine League and each of their territories.
Even in theory there won't be any problems.
Even those lords who fled, even if they were unwilling and angry, could only admit it.
Thor didn't expect that he would meet someone he didn't recognize today.
"Oh, it seems that you are the "former" pioneer lord of the Maine Valley. Unfortunately, I did not steal it, and I am not a thief, but you abandoned it. If you have any objections, you can go to the Municipal Center to complain. "
Thor chuckled lightly, with a sense of casualness, and once he bit down a bit harder.
But his expression immediately made Coren Emerson even more angry.
"Dressrosa, you thief!"
"You still want to argue that I, Coren Emerson, only temporarily left my territory, but I didn't abandon it. You occupied my territory."
Coren Emerson felt a little guilty, but halfway through his words, he couldn't help but feel more confident.
The dispute between the two also attracted a lot of attention at this moment.
"Your Excellency, please watch your words!"
"Whether you give up, Loren City will decide!"
"That's not what you said."
"Please step aside."
Thor was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was that idiot, but it was just a surprise.
His expression immediately turned cold, and his words became a bit stiff.
"asshole!"
Hearing Thor's harsh words, Coren became even more angry, and even mobilized the life force in his body at this moment.
He is also an official knight.
As a descendant of the Emerson family, although his talent is not very good, he has a good mother. His mother spent a lot of money to buy him a Fruit of Life, as well as many intermediate life potions.
Jean Coren Emerson is only twenty-two years old now, and he has already broken through to become an official knight.
With his cultivation as a formal knight and his mother's doting, he had never been so slighted, and he was about to take action at this moment.
However, a hand suddenly held him down.
A powerful burst of life force instantly suppressed the surging life force in Coren's body.
"Maniel!"
The source of life force was suppressed, and Coren was startled, but when he saw it was Magnell, his face instantly turned into anger.
"Master Coren, we can't do anything!"
"This is Loren City!"
Manuel spoke quickly.
"Hmph, so what about Loren City!"
"This damn thief, I want to teach him a lesson."
Coren's voice sounded angry.
The figure immediately struggled.
Magnell did not dare to continue suppressing him, and Colen broke free in an instant.
But at the moment of breaking free.
Thor stopped and looked at Column.
"Oh, you want to teach me a lesson?"
His eyes were calm, and there was a chill spreading in his eyes.
He is not a good-tempered person, and there are more and more people around him.
He was also a little annoyed at being called a thief all the time.
"snort!"
"Dressrosa thief, why, you are scared!"
"Give me back my territory and give me another three thousand, no, five thousand gold coins, and I can forgive your offense."
Coren's eyes were filled with a sneer.
"no no!"
"I'm afraid you misunderstood!"
"I can give you a chance now. Hand over five thousand gold coins, and then kneel down. I can pretend that nothing happened."
Thor spoke calmly, and the figure gradually drew out the knight's sword in his hand.
A cold life force began to spread out.
There was ice spreading under my feet.
At this moment, everyone around him was startled and quickly backed away.
And Manuel, who was standing next to him, changed his expression even more.
"Master, be careful!"
The words were spoken anxiously, and the figure was about to step forward.
"You better be honest!"
"I most likely won't kill him, but I don't mind killing you."
However, just as Magnell moved, Thor looked over calmly, and his words became even colder.
Manuel's figure quickly froze on the spot.
His expression was constantly struggling.
Finally stopped in place.
Thor ignored this one, and the majestic life force burst out.
The cold spreads.
The next moment, the knight's sword suddenly slashed down.
Coren's angry expression instantly turned into shock, and then the shock turned into panic.
He hurriedly stirred up his life force.
But to no avail.
"boom!"
The two knight swords collided, and in an instant a knight sword flew out, and the ice blue sword energy fell on Coren's body.
"Buzz!"
The strange magic circle on Coren's body lit up.
An earthy yellow light appeared directly.
But it was only for a moment.
Above the earthy yellow light, ice spread and froze in an instant.
Subsequently.
"Crack!"
The earthy yellow light shattered.
"uh-huh!"
Coren's face turned pale, and the next moment he groaned, a bright red oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his figure flew out.
It fell directly into the distance.
Silence, deathly silence.
No one spoke at this moment.
Even the onlookers looked at Thor with shocked eyes.
Great Knight.
This is clearly a great knight.
And he's not just an ordinary knight, he's a knight with a special life source.
Manuel felt layers of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead.
Bone-piercing coldness spread throughout his body, and he had a feeling that if he dared to move at this moment, he would really die.
His figure did not dare to move.
And Thor slowly walked to Colum who fell to the ground.
The cold sword edge fell.
Thor's sword was pressed against Coren's neck.
But just at this moment.
"Tap!"
The sound of rapid horse hooves sounded, and a group of knights quickly ran over in the distance.
"stop!"
There was a loud shout.
The next moment, a black shadow quickly appeared in front of Thor.
His face looked a little ugly.
"Don't you know that violence is prohibited in Loren City?"
The appearance of the figure looked at the broken scene around him. His eyes instantly looked at Thor, and his brows gradually furrowed.
"Knight of Cronia, it was him, it was his hand that did it!"
Seeing the person coming, Kelun couldn't help but feel happy and quickly spoke.
After hearing Coren's words, Cronia frowned and looked at Thor.
"According to the laws of the kingdom, Article 32, if civilians provoke a noble, the noble can take any action, including but not limited to killing."
"Knight Cronia, as a noble, a commoner dared to provoke me in Loren City. I need an explanation, otherwise I wouldn't mind expressing my concerns to the Marquis."
Thor ignored Column and spoke calmly.
"Who are you?"
Kronia was startled for a moment, and then her eyes couldn't help but look at Thor.
"Toldresrosa!"
Thor spoke calmly.
"It's you."
Cronia's eyes narrowed, with a hint of surprise.
"Humph, you are just a temporary noble, but you do not enjoy the legal protection of the kingdom!"
"Knight Cronia took action in Loren City without permission. He violated the laws of Loren City. Arrest him."
Coren couldn't help but speak, with a look of resentment on his face.
"Shut up!"
Cronia shouted coldly.
Then he slightly made a knightly gesture towards Thor.
"I'm really sorry. This was an oversight on our part."
Cronia spoke respectfully and waved his hand.
One knight quickly stepped forward and controlled the knights of Cologne.
"What are you doing?"
"It's him!"
"It was obviously his hand."
Coren was stunned, but also angry and frightened.
However, before the words could continue, he was immediately silenced by the knight.
"Baron Thor, I will give you a satisfactory answer later."
"I'm so sorry."
Cronia spoke with respect.
"hope so!"
Thor nodded calmly.
After Cronia bowed slightly, the figure left quickly.
Thor didn't stop either.
Killing Emerson is obviously impossible.
Nobles need face.
Killing a heir of a noble family, and doing so in public, is completely disrespectful to the Emerson family and the Marquis. Once it happens, he will be in a lot of trouble.
So he just planned to teach him a lesson at first.
Being taken away by the people of Loren City at this moment, he believed that he would soon be given a satisfactory answer.
Even if Coren is unwilling, Loren City will let him give it.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
The reply came only the next day.
Loren City will return the price of the supplies he purchased this time as a reply, and at the same time, Columbine Emerson will pay three thousand gold coins as compensation for his foolish behavior.
Thor received two thousand gold coins directly.
One thousand gold coins were part of Columbine Emerson's first payment, and one thousand gold coins was half of the cost of his purchase of supplies this time, and was the compensation from Loren City.
Of course, this compensation must be paid by Kelen Emerson.
But this has nothing to do with Thor.
He doesn't care about that.
After getting the remaining two thousand gold coins, they will arrive within three months.
Three months.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to wait in Loren City for three months.
Two thousand gold coins are not worth what he does.
As for this answer, he was satisfied.
Although he had previously said that Column would pay compensation of five thousand gold coins, that was just a talk, and it was simply impossible.
Being able to get three thousand, plus one thousand from Loren City, is already a very good harvest.
Even in his current territory, this income would take almost half a year.
And it may not be possible to obtain it. The turmoil in the North has gradually affected the trade routes. The most obvious thing is that his gold coin income has dropped a lot.
A month ago, I could get almost seven to eight hundred gold coins. With luck, I could get thousands.
But now, there are only about five or six hundred gold coins.
It can be expected that the number will continue to decrease until the unrest in the Northland Province gradually calms down.
Or he could open trade routes further west.
After all, not only over 70% to 80% of the lords who have fled in the entire north at this moment, but half of them are definitely there. The trade routes and commerce have been greatly affected.
In comparison, the Western Territory is still better.
Just wanting to open up a trade route to the west is not that difficult.
Compared with the northern part, which suffered huge damage and the eastern territories were relatively sparse, the western territories were extremely numerous, and powerful lords also owned many.
There are more than thirty baron lords, and there are more than eighteen gathered in the west.
There are also several extremely powerful baron lords and pioneer lords among them.
Some powerful lords are no less powerful than, or even more powerful than, some viscount lords.
They also have a complete business system.
He wanted to penetrate.
Not only is there no entry point.
And it's also difficult.
This is why Thor has no intention of letting Lajos go to the west in a short time.
It is not a good thing to enter hastily when one's own strength is not enough.
This is especially true when there is no entry point.
"I hope it ends soon!"
"At least don't let the orc war break out, otherwise we'll be in real trouble."
Thor couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
Then he took Ren with him and began to handle the delivery of this clearing mission.
There are merit points for missions and merit points for second-level orcs.
There are quite a few merit points.
Final statistics.
He actually obtained more than 600 merit points.
He is a little closer to being crowned a viscount.
Even the office was a little surprised.
But Thor didn't pay too much attention to this.
These achievements are not enough for him.
His goal is not just Viscount, but also higher.
Night gradually passed.
After Thor took care of the last things, he led his troops back towards the Eagle Territory.
It was full when I arrived, and it was full when I left.
Thanks to Column's sponsorship, Thor not only purchased a large amount of supplies, but also did not spend a single gold coin.
And when Thor returns.
All that was left for Colen Emerson was despair.
Because just now, the great knight Manel, who was his last strength, left.
He left quietly.
And it's not just that.
Loren City has notified his family.
He could almost predict what his next result would be.
"asshole!"
"Maniel!"
"Dressrosa!"
Coren was furious. He was angry at Magnell's disappearance, and he was angry at Thor, but everything was in vain.
Colen is just an over-spoiled idiot. Even in today's society, there are many such idiots, let alone a feudal era. There will only be more. As for his resources, most of them were given by his mother, and his father only The symbolic meaning is given a little, his mother is from a marquis family
