Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 21 Territory Construction 2

 Early in the morning, when the morning sun shines.

In the cleared area, a group of serfs gathered together. Compared to the time when they were first purchased, the faces of these serfs had a brighter color. After more than ten days, with constant food supply, It made them noticeably stronger, but it was just their bodies.

Most people's expressions are still numb and their eyes are dull.

 The moment they became serfs, they had actually lost everything, and naturally there was no hope.

 Can’t see any future either.

 Everyone was numb and just followed the action.

This day is no exception.

 And in their gathering.

 Thor's figure also appeared in front of all the serfs.

Even so, the expressions of these serfs did not change much.

 Just in their numbness.

Thor waved his hand.

 The next moment, several knights brought a brazier.

 At the same time, a knight came to them with a wooden box.

 The wooden box was opened, and each parchment scroll appeared.

 Looking at the parchment, the expressions of each serf finally showed fluctuations.

 Because it was their slave contract.

 Looking at the slave contracts, the five hundred people even became agitated.

Thor ignored it.

　　A wave of the hand.

 The next moment, a knight quickly stepped forward and presented several of the parchments.

 “Sabina, Bones, Linus, Somelet, Serad, Cyberphia.”

 A deep voice came out of Thor's mouth.

With each name he read out, the crowd of slaves below couldn't help but have some commotion, especially those whose names were read out.

 “The one whose name just came out!”

 Steve's voice spoke.

 The next moment, in the panic, a serf came out.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

As soon as they appeared, these people prostrated themselves directly on the ground, with panic in their numb expressions.

"Do not be nervous!"

“Due to your outstanding performance these days, I have decided that from today on, you will no longer be serfs, but will belong to the free people illuminated by the goddess of life!”

 “May the Goddess of Life be with you!”

Looking at the panicked crowd, Thor smiled and his voice rose loudly.

 The words are big.

 Enough for everyone to hear.

 But just because they heard it, everyone's pupils couldn't help but widen suddenly, with expressions of disbelief.

Especially those slaves who were still trembling when their names were read, felt at this moment whether they were hallucinating.

 “Sir, sir, what did you say?”

A slave spoke with a trembling voice, and his eyes instantly looked at Thor on the high platform.

 “Nature is true!”

“Under the witness of the goddess of life, starting from today, you are liberated!”

Thor spoke solemnly, and the next moment, he threw his right hand.

 The slave contracts in his hand were thrown directly into the fire in front of him.

 “Buzz!”

The flames burned and swept up in an instant.

 With the flames sweeping across.

The few people who had just stood up suddenly had a red light spreading from their bodies. The next moment, the restraining force in them quickly receded, and they felt their bodies were lightened.

 But at this moment, they didn't care about this anymore. Their pupils were widened and they looked into the distance with disbelief, looking at that figure.

And the blazing fire burning in front of the figure.

 At this moment, I can’t get my thoughts back to my senses.

 Until a moment later.

 The whole crowd was completely in commotion.

 “Oh my god, what is he doing?”

 “My goddess, this, this!”

"The contract, he, their slave contract was burned!" "Me, us!"

 One voice after another spoke.

Countless numb serfs are only shocked, stunned, appalled, and unbelievable at this moment, especially those who have been released from their slave contracts, and their hearts are ups and downs even more at this moment.

 The moment they became slaves, their lives were destroyed. They had no future and everything.

 They need to work for their masters until they die, and slave indentures, even letting them escape, cannot do that.

However, what did they see at this moment, no, it should be said what they experienced.

 The contract was directly burned by the young pioneer knight in front.

 This means that from this moment on, they are no longer slaves, but free people.

 The faces of the figures all turned red instantly.

 Surprise and excitement can’t help but spread out.

Suddenly, a figure reacted. The figure knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully towards Thor.

 “Thank you, my master!”

 “May the Goddess of Life be with you!”

 “Your brilliance is as dazzling as the sun!”

 Following this sound, other serfs soon reacted.

 Each of them had hope, hope, and gratitude in their eyes.

 “Thank you, my master!”

 “May the Goddess of Life be with you!”

 “Thank you, my master!”

 “May the Goddess of Life be with you!”

 One voice after another rang out, and the eyes of the few people standing up at this moment had a hint of fanaticism.

Even the remaining 400 people have completely gone from numbness in their eyes.

There is expectation and longing in his expression.

 Looking at this scene, Thor couldn't help but smile on his face.

 That was all he needed.

 Emancipate the serfs.

 In this world, I am afraid that 99% of the nobles would not do this.

 After all, serfs could exploit without limit.

 Once the serfs were liberated and became freedmen, they would not be so easy to exploit.

 But as a time traveler, Thor understood that the productivity brought about by liberating the serfs was not comparable to that before.

 As an initial construction project, what he needs is the liberation of this productive force.

 Five hundred serfs are only worth fifty gold coins. He can completely afford such a value.

 There is no one-time liberation at this moment, it is just a motivation for everyone.

 At this moment, judging from the current results, it is indeed extremely good.

 Amid the shouts, his figure immediately raised his hand.

 The whole crowd suddenly became quiet.

“May the Goddess of Life be with you. From today on, you will be the people of the Eagle Territory!”

"There is land that belongs to you here. In the next six months, I will distribute food, seeds, and agricultural tools to you, and teach you how to plant them. You only need to pay a certain tax to the territory regularly, and everything else will belong to you. I the people.”

"As for other people, you will also be distributed land, but for the time being the land belongs to your master, me. But I also promise that if you can perform outstandingly in this year's planting, everyone has hope and can Become a free citizen of Eagle Ridge and own the land that belongs to you."

 “I am waiting for the day when everyone will become my subjects.”

Thor spoke and waved his hand the next moment.

 Several knights quickly stepped forward.

 Hand out the wooden signs one by one.

Each wooden sign has numerical values ​​marked on it, and these values ​​correspond to each piece of land.

 Of course, except for those who were freed from slavery, the land of others still did not belong to them.

 The wealth that belongs to Thor.

But Thor also gave all slaves a big pie.

 And such an effect is undoubtedly extremely eye-catching.

 The expressions of more than 400 slaves were only excitement, anticipation, and excitement.

As for the few people who obtained the land, there is no need to say more.

They never thought that a lord would not only relieve them of their status as slaves, but also give them land, seeds, agricultural tools, and food.

 All this is unimaginable even in dreams.

 But at this moment it became a fact.
