Fantasy Lord: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

The Northland Province, as a new province, does not need anything else, but it has two things that are completely indispensable. One is weapons. Without weapons, it is difficult to cope with the complex situation of the Northland Province.

The second is naturally the population.

The entire Northland Province is a wild scene. If you want to open up, you will need a large population.

Even the importance of population is more important than weapons.

This is also the main reason why Marquis Lehman does not ban weapons very much, but strictly controls the slave trade.

Even if it is just the slave trade, the gold coins brought to the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce every year exceed one hundred thousand gold coins. It is the main source of gold coins for the entire Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. It is also the reason why Marquis Lehman’s income far exceeds that of ordinary marquises, and even some powerful marquises. The root cause is incomparable.

Thor has always had thoughts about this slave trade.

It's a pity that there was no way before, neither the restrictions of Marquis Lehman nor his own strength were enough.

Northland Province, as the fiefdom of Marquis Lehman, within ten years, it is no surprise that it will be completely controlled by Marquis Lehman, and even other powerful nobles will not be able to interfere.

For this reason, Marquis Lehman must also serve as a vanguard to resist the orcs' border.

Let alone him, not even the Dressrosa family or even the powerful Marquis family can interfere.

Second, it is one’s own strength.

He was not strong enough before and it was almost impossible to participate.

After all, there are many people who want to participate in the slave trade. However, there are currently only four companies that can truly control the slave trade, not counting those who are involved.

That’s right, there are only four.

They are the Tulip Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Tulip Royal Family, and the Chamber of Commerce controlled by the three Dukes.

And even if indirect involvement is included, the number of involvements is only nine.

The other five families are the three top nobles, Marquis Lehman, and the Assad family.

The three top nobles are involved with the three dukes.

Marquis Lehmann and the Assad family.

The former relies on the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, and the latter relies on the Karenina family.

The strength of these nine families, even the weakest Assad family, far exceeds that of the generally powerful count families, and is not inferior to some marquis families.

Needless to say about other families.

If Thor wants to step in, let alone his previous strength, even his current strength is almost difficult.

But the road can be walked step by step, and the rice can be eaten bite by bite.

It is now difficult for him to intervene like Marquis Lehman and the Assad family, but he can rely on the two to intervene.

Almost impossible from Marquis Lehman.

But that doesn't mean you can't get it from the Assad family.

Although this can be regarded as a price difference for a middleman, the benefits of slave trading are more than a hundred times. Even if a middleman makes a price difference, it is enough to meet his needs.

As for whether the Assad family will agree.

Thor wasn't much worried.

At this moment, with the expansion of the northern border and the retreat of the orcs, Marquis Lehman's task of guarding naturally no longer exists, so his privileges will also be deprived.

The huge Northland province is full of endless opportunities.

The three great dukes may not have much interest in the power of the royal family.

But the three top marquis families, the powerful marquis families, and some families with chambers of commerce will definitely be extremely interested.

After all, let’s not talk about anything else.

The nau of the Danube River alone is enough for them to spread their tentacles over.

In this case, if Thor gives the Assad family a chance, the Assad family will definitely be happy to cooperate.

Especially Thor also showed his sufficient strength this time.

If nothing unexpected happens, Thor's Eagle Territory will inevitably become the true uncrowned king of the entire Northland Province, and it will be even more impossible to miss it.

In the study room.

Thor tapped the table gently, and thoughts were flowing in his mind. He was constructing the next development plan for the entire Eagle Territory, and even the entire Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

Then his crisis was indeed resolved.

But competition is coming.

Although there is still a certain amount of time, preparations need to be made in advance.

And while Thor was thinking slightly.

Lajos Assad has returned to Frostmoon Province with the mission entrusted to him by Thor.

Assad family territory.

Compared to the Dressrosa territory, the Assad family's territory is located in the east, occupying almost more than one-fifth of Frost Moon Province.

In the entire Frost Moon Province, the Assad family was only slightly inferior to the Pat family before this. This was because the Pat family had a sky knight, otherwise the Assad family might be stronger than the Pat family.

Therefore, in the Sahara mine, the Assad family holds more than 25% of the shares, second only to the Pat family's 30%.

Before that, the Assad family far surpassed the Dressrosa family.

Its inheritance has exceeded nearly seven hundred years. There are currently five known earth knights in the Assad family. In fact, the number exceeds ten. There are at least three earth knights at the peak of their existence.

Such a family may not be comparable to the Pat family.

However, the outbreak of Count Engel also shocked the Assad family.

In the study room at this moment.

Look at the details sent by your subordinates.

A blond man still couldn't calm down, even though more than half a month had passed.

But the impact of this news on him was still too great.

"He actually made a breakthrough!"

Muttering to himself, the blond man couldn't help but think of the purple grass purchased by the heir of the Dressrosa family last time.

Obviously, if nothing unexpected happened, Count Engel should have made use of that purple golden grass to break through.

What seemed almost impossible to him seemed to come true at this moment.

This has made it difficult for him to calm down recently.

Their family has been pursuing the Sky Knight for two hundred years. Since the death of that Sky Knight ancestor, the Assad family has not been able to give birth to a Sky Knight for two hundred years.

The Assad family also fell from a powerful marquis family to a count family.

But at this moment, the Dressrosa family has completed a leap.

This made him feel extremely complicated, and he didn't even know how to describe it.

And in his complexity.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Boom!"

"Come in!"

The blond man took a deep breath to let his emotions gradually calm down before he spoke softly.

"Crunch!"

The door was opened and a figure walked in.

"Master, Master Lajos wants to see you."

The figure spoke respectfully.

"Lajos, why is he back?"

The blond man was a little surprised when he spoke curiously.

He originally didn't pay much attention to his son, who was just an illegitimate son. A few hundred years ago, he wouldn't even have the chance to recognize him. But now he cares a little more, but he just gave some gold coins casually, and almost... A useless store in Loren City.

But he didn't expect that in just a few years, his son would undergo earth-shaking changes.

First, he caught up with a descendant of Dressrosa, and then that descendant of Dressrosa developed rapidly, and Lajos also got a lot of room to play.

He also paid more attention to it and gave Lajos more opportunities.

And the result undoubtedly proves that his son is indeed good.

Income has increased rapidly in a short period of time, and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce established with the help of one of Dressrosa's descendants has a decent appearance. He can't help but be concerned about this.

But it's just some attention. For him, it's just a son. A casual investment can yield good results. If there is no gain, the loss will not be big.

However, no one expected that the unexpected surprise would come so suddenly.

The Dressrosa family suddenly erupted.

This casual investment seems to be the most correct investment.

Because if he remembered correctly, the heir of Dressrosa seemed to be Count Engel's son, and he valued him very much.

This time, it even gave him the power to directly defeat the alliance of twenty-seven powerful noble descendants.

It was an alliance of twenty-seven powerful noble heirs. Even the Assad family could feel their scalp numb when they faced it.

In the end, he was defeated by Tordressrosa.

He didn't believe that this was the power of Tordressrosa. The only explanation was that Count Engel gave him a lot of power.

With such attention, Thor's future achievements can be fully expected.

Lajos must have achieved a lot by following Thor.

"Let him in!"

Thoughts flowed, but only a moment passed. The blond man seemed to ponder for a moment, and then spoke.

"yes!"

The figure nodded and then retreated.

After a few moments, Lajos was brought into the room.

"Father!"

Looking at the blond man, Lajos quickly greeted him.

"Lajos, why do you have time to come back and visit me?"

The blond man spoke with a smile.

"Father!"

Lajos was in a daze, but he still spoke quickly, but he didn't know what to say at the moment. His father had never been so kind in his memory.

"Okay, I'm just talking casually. Is there anything you want to do when you come back this time?"

Seeing Lajos's stiff expression for a moment, the blond middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, and then took the initiative to change the topic.

"Father, it's like this. The Lord wants to cooperate with our Assad family and wants to see if Father has any intention."

Lajos nodded, took a deep breath, and then told the purpose of returning this time.

"cooperate?"

The blond man raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"Yes, Father, you should know that the Northern Territory has expanded. Since then, the agreement between Marquis Lehman and the Kingdom has been terminated. Other forces in the Kingdom can also enter the Northern Province. What the Lord wants is to make peace with Assad. The Chamber of Commerce will cooperate to occupy more markets as soon as possible."

Lajos nodded, and then told some of Thor's arrangements.

The blond man was a little surprised at first, then showed a hint of interest.

In the end, his thoughts were completely attracted by Lajos's words.

Until Lajos finished speaking, the blond man's thoughts were still silent.

Lajos did not interrupt, but waited quietly.

He believed that his father would agree.

After all, I believe no one would be willing to refuse such a temptation.

"Toldresrosa means that our Assad family will provide slaves and corresponding supplies. The supplies of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce will be purchased at the Assad Chamber of Commerce as much as possible. At the same time, we can go to Eagle City Open corresponding stores?”

After pondering for a moment, the blond man slowly spoke.

"Yes, Father, and it is only Eagle City at the moment, but soon, when other cities are built in the future, the Assad family can also go there."

Lajos nodded and spoke seriously.

"Indeed, it's attractive enough."

"But Lajos, you should know that even if I don't cooperate with you, I can already let the Assad family spread to the Northland Province, so why should I cooperate with you?"

The blond man nodded, his words carrying a hint of meaning.

"Father, with all due respect, most of the resources in the entire Northland Province are now in the hands of our Eagle Chamber of Commerce, and we have built a complete trade route. Even if Father is involved in it, if you want It may be difficult to achieve sufficient results.”

Lajos shook his head and spoke softly.

"It seems that you have really grown up."

"For cooperation, yes!"

"But the conditions need to be changed. If Tordressrosa can agree, then there will be no problem!"

The blond man smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and then his face became solemn.

"Father, please speak directly!"

Lajos looked more serious and nodded seriously.

"I don't need the shop. The Assad family can also provide supplies specifically for your Eagle Chamber of Commerce. However, the slave trade needs to be independent. Our Assad family needs to hold at least 35% of the shares."

"You can go back and discuss with the Tordressrosa family and give me a response then."

"Of course, if you are afraid of wasting time, I can ask Deli to take the first batch of slaves to follow you. If you agree, you can connect at any time. If you don't agree, then withdraw."

The blond man looked at his son and spoke slowly.
