Rights and Obligations of Nobles, Purge Mission

The ancient canonization ceremony ended.

The three Thors have also officially become the lowest nobles in the kingdom. From today on, he will be a baron, a baron bathed by the goddess of life.

That share of the developed territory will also belong to him forever.

will be protected by the laws of the Kingdom.

At the same time, their status will not only apply to the entire Northland Province, but even within the entire kingdom, they will enjoy the authority of the nobility.

And this is the result.

The whole city of Loren couldn't help but start a craze again.

For the first time in the past three years, a pioneer lord has been canonized as a baron.

This made the originally silent hearts of many noble lords burn again.

Even many nobles have ideas.

This is especially true for pioneer lords who think they have a certain level of strength.

It is not that easy to build a town of five thousand people and have enough power to protect it. However, it does not seem that difficult to get one hundred points of merit.

Especially now that the Northland Province is in turmoil, it seems to be even more true.

Of course it's throbbing, but it's still throbbing.

Except for a few hot-headed pioneer lords who had just entered the Northland Province, most of the pioneer lords still had no plans to take action.

After all, as long as you have survived in the Northland Province for a period of time, you will know how powerful the orc tribe is.

One hundred merit points is indeed not much.

The difficulty of obtaining it is not small at all.

A second-level tauren is worth ten points of merit, but they may not be sure to kill the second-level tauren.

Even most of the second-order goblins and pioneer lords are stifled.

But even so, the prices of various weapons in Loren City began to soar.

Of course, this is not something Thor needs to consider.

No matter how much the price of weapons in Loren City soared, he could not bring the weapons to Loren City for sale.

Unless he is really tired of living.

Night gradually fell.

Thor gently closed the tome.

At this moment, he had a greater understanding of the entire aristocracy.

He also understood the rights and obligations of nobles.

As a noble, he will enjoy real privileges.

This is clearly recorded in the holy scriptures and is also inscribed in the laws of the kingdom.

besides.

The kingdom gives him the right to conquer and rule, and he will also have to fight for the kingdom.

If as a pioneering lord, he could choose to abandon his territory and escape to join the war in the Kingdom War or the Orc War, then as a noble, he has no choice. Every hundred years, the territory under his jurisdiction must participate in the Kingdom War. .

As a baron, he does not need to pay taxes, but he needs to ensure that at least one grand knight and more than five formal knights are selected to participate in the kingdom's war.

This is an obligation he must fulfill.

No nobleman can escape.

Even if he gave up his territory, he still had to participate.

"Kingdom War!"

After whispering, Thor's eyes were solemn.

He had some understanding of Kingdom War before, but the description of Kingdom War in the Holy Scriptures was more detailed, and he knew more clearly what Kingdom War was.

Territorial contention.

The battle between nobles and nobles.

Although there are only two empires on the entire continent, there are countless kingdoms.

Under the two empires, territories were limited and resources were limited, so battles would inevitably break out.

Therefore, every hundred years, with the tacit consent of the two empires, the major kingdoms under the two empires will engage in kingdom wars to redistribute land, interests, and wealth.

Every kingdom war is undoubtedly an opportunity for low-level nobles.

As long as you grasp it, it will be enough to soar into the sky.

However, it can also be said to be a disaster, because it is difficult for low-level nobles to have a large ability to resist risks.

There is a high probability that a baron noble will only have one high knight, and it is not certain whether he can raise five official knights. Once he falls, the family will inevitably begin to decline.

Of course this has nothing to do with Thor.

Now he is fully qualified to mobilize enough power to participate in the kingdom's war.

Even if there is a loss, he can bear it.

Not to mention that he has a daily intelligence system, which is enough to ensure his own safety even if he participates in a kingdom war.

You can even get a lot of merit with this.

Eyes twinkling.

The thought was quickly suppressed.

There are still two years left before the Kingdom War, so there is no need to think about this for the time being.

In contrast, the next development of the territory and the enhancement of strength are what he needs to consider.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the two people who were canonized as barons with him.

"Clean up!"

After whispering, Thor's heart palpitated.

Among the orc tribes, there are those who have a lot of wealth and meritorious deeds, enough to support the two of them to become barons, and enough to allow him to gain further expansion.

And more importantly, he seemed to be able to rely on the crackdown to further expand the trade route to the northern region.

Now his trade routes only spread around the Maine River Valley, and the harvest has reached a certain level of saturation.

If you want to earn more, you have to go out.

This is definitely an opportunity.

Thoughts intertwined and time passed slowly.

Night gradually fell.

The familiar system prompt sounded immediately again.

"Ding, the intelligence system has been updated!"

"Do you want to open it?"

The mechanical sound sounded as usual.

"Open!"

Thor suppressed the anxiety in his heart and spoke subconsciously.

And as his words fell.

"Buzz!"

[Daily information has been updated]

[1: A thousand miles north of your city of Loren, a group of pig beasts will pass by...]

[2: In the west of your territory, Lord Sachi accidentally discovered a small iron mine within the territory, but it was occupied by a group of timid goblins and was preparing to launch a pioneering war...]

[3; Fifteen days later, in the northwest of the Maine River Valley, a group of kobolds will attack the territory of a pioneer lord. The group of kobolds possesses the extremely precious grass of life seeds]

[8:.]

Lines of text are presented, and new information is presented.

The situation was just as he thought. The entire Northland Province was in relative chaos. Even the daily intelligence showed information about the invasion of various orc tribes.

This is true even in the northern part of the country that has been wiped out.

With the current situation, even the Maine Valley may soon be affected again.

Looking at this scene of information, Thor finally made up his mind.

early morning.

When the morning sun shines.

The glory of the goddess of life shines on the earth again.

Thor took advantage of this year's opportunity to meet Marquis Lehman.

As a baron of the Northland Province, every baron has the opportunity to meet Marquis Lehman once a year.

Only once.

Thor thought for a long time before choosing to use this opportunity.

In the manor.

Thor once again met Marquis Lehman, the most legendary man in the kingdom in the past thirty years.

He rose up from a small viscount family.

He became the idol of countless noble children.

"grown ups!"

Thor performed the courtesy of knighthood.

"No need to be polite!"

"Baron Thor, what's the matter?"

Marquis Lehman looked at Thor curiously and spoke with an inquiry.

"Lord Marquis, it's like this. After hearing about the attack by the orc tribe in the north, as a noble of the kingdom, Xiongying Ridge is willing to contribute to the kingdom to eliminate those damn orcs."

Thor spoke and told his plan.

As mentioned before, he came to request to participate in the purge.

The orc tribe is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity for him.

In this case, he would naturally not miss it.

"Oh, are you going to join the crackdown?"

Marquis Lehman was a little surprised.

Although he was anxious for many noble lords to participate, except for a few powerful noble lords, others were not willing to participate.

Thor's strength is not weak, but in his opinion, it is still far inferior to those others, and it is risky to go and eliminate them.

"yes!"

"Your Majesty the Marquis."

Thor nodded.

"Can!"

"Young noble, you are very brave. I look forward to your performance."

"Let Franky give Baron Thor a letter of appointment."

Marquis Lehmann smiled and nodded, then motioned to a knight attendant next to him.

"yes!"

The knight's squire nodded quickly.

And Thor left immediately.

Under the guidance of the knight attendants, he slowly walked out of Marquis Lehman's place and began to go to apply for the appointment letter.

"Family Dressrosa!"

Marquis Lehman chuckled and then ignored it. For him, it was a small matter and he did not need to pay too much attention to it.

In contrast, how to solve the current troubles is the most important.

Even if he once again sent some reinforcements to the northern region.

But the impact of the orc tribe still failed to calm down.

Even the Flying Eagle Knights suffered a lot.

This made Marquis Lehman extremely painful.

He is not one of those families with extremely long inheritance. His family was just a viscount family before. His rise in a short period of time is not enough for him to accumulate enough. Every power under his hands is extremely precious.

Every bit of strength is consumed, and it is difficult to replenish it.

But there was nothing he could do.

As long as the Orc War doesn't break out or the Earth Dragon Knights suffer a major blow, the kingdom will not provide greater support.

He could only hold on.

This is also the obligation he needs to fulfill to obtain the Northland Province as a fief.

Marquis Lehman's thoughts were flowing.

Thoughts quickly intertwined with the northern battlefield.

And the other side.

Thor soon received a letter of appointment.

It was a letter of appointment stamped with Marquis Lehman and the affairs of the Northland Province.

He will have the right to go to the northern part of the province to clean up.

Although even without it, he can still lead the troops to clear out the orc tribe. However, with this letter of appointment, the merit points he can get will be doubled, one for the clearing mission and another for killing the orcs. .

Just like before, if he had a clearing mission in hand, he would have two merit points for defeating the Minotaur tribe.

Of course, he didn't know it before and couldn't take action.

Now that I know it, of course I have to add it.

After receiving the letter of appointment, Thor immediately enriched Ren and purchased corresponding supplies and more slaves.

This time he came not only to receive the canonization, but also to purchase supplies.

Now that the Maine River Valley has stabilized, it naturally needs to expand its development scale.

Number of people is the most important thing to consider.

The previous population was not enough, he needed more people.

I don't know if it's luck.

The destruction of a large number of territories has caused the price of weapons to continue to rise, but the price of slaves has begun to drop. Even the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce, which monopolizes the business, has lowered the price of slaves.

So much so that Thor spent less than two hundred gold coins to purchase two thousand slaves, including many female slaves.

At the same time, other supplies have also been reduced a lot.

This time he undoubtedly spent a lot less gold coins to arrive at the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.

This made Thor couldn't help but smile when he left.

early morning.

The morning sun slowly fell, and Thor set off with his men and horses.

There were only twenty people when they arrived, but when they left there were thousands of people and dozens of carriages.

Even if food is self-sufficient, he still needs to purchase a large amount of daily necessities, especially now that the population has increased by two thousand.

Ten days later.

Thor returned to the castle with his men.

Return with Thor.

The entire Xiongying Ridge became completely lively.

Thor officially becomes a baron.

It also means that they have become the subjects of the barony.

Especially the free folk.

Although Thor had given them the status of free citizens before.

But that's only in Eagle Ridge. Once they leave Eagle Ridge, they are likely to be sold into slaves again.

But things are different now.

Thor became a baron.

Then they belong to the free people of the barony, then under the laws of the kingdom, they will also be considered to be true free people.

Theoretically, no one can sell them anymore, except themselves.

The significance of this is extremely huge.

Not to mention those knights.

A knight who pioneers a lord does not have the status of a knight, but a knight who is a noble lord is a true knight.

The nature is also completely different.

"Lord Baron!"

Outside the territory, Peros led a group of people to greet him, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

When he learned that he was assigned to open up territory and assist Master Thor, he was desperate. He even felt that his life was gloomy.

There is almost no hope for pioneer lords.

There is even a life crisis.

But no one expected that in Master Thor's territory, he would witness incredible things.

In less than a year, Master Thor, the young eagle of Dressrosa, has become a baron.

It's only been a year.

In just one year, this can no longer be called a miracle, but a miracle.
