Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 94 Report, the unexpected Marquis Lehman (please order first)

At this moment, the entire Northland Province is in chaos. The defense lines of the Knights are being attacked everywhere. A large number of orc tribes have rushed into the Northland Province, causing the entire Northland Province to be in relative chaos. The pioneering territories began to collapse, and at the same time a large number of pioneering lords were fleeing.

no way.

 Compared to the second-level orc tribe.

 The human race's pioneering lords, except for a few powerful lords, are simply unable to compete.

 The destruction and escape of one pioneering lord caused more pioneering lords to start fleeing.

 Some territories that have been under construction for a long time may still need to be considered, but some pioneer lords who have just established it have almost no hesitation.

 This will undoubtedly cause confusion on a larger scale.

Especially when the Flying Eagle Knights still did not choose to intervene under the gazes.

Of course, Thor and others don’t know about this at this moment.

The Maine River Valley is located close to the Northland Glacier and close to the orc tribe, so it is somewhat separated from the mainstream pioneering knight territory.

 The information in the north is relatively good, but the information in the west may not be understandable.

 After they dealt with the tauren and negotiated an alliance.

 Immediately began preparations to report the results of this battle.

 Northland Province is the front line in the war against the orcs, and the war against the orcs is enough to gain a lot of merit.

Not only can you get hundreds of merit points from the eleven second-level tauren, but you can also get certain merit points by defeating orc tribes.

These need to be reported to Marquis Lehman.

 Marquis Lehman will verify the entire battle situation. If the verification is completed, merit will be awarded.

　　The six pioneer lords, including Thor, are extremely concerned about this.

 Soon after the end of the alliance.

 A battle report and the heads of eleven second-level tauren were taken to Loren City by Renn.

 Loren City.

 In the huge and gorgeous Marquis Manor.

A man who looked no older than middle-aged frowned slightly, and his figure was walking back and forth.

 He is the owner of this manor, the well-deserved king of the Northland Province, and one of the top nobles in the kingdom, Marquis Lehman.

Marquis Lehman, who has risen step by step from military success and is now over 70 years old, is actually not very satisfied with his territory. Compared with the vast Northland Province, he prefers Frost Moon Province. Or Nanyue Province.

After decades of fighting, he knew very well the terror of the orc tribe, which was not something that the Tulip Kingdom could handle alone, let alone a new marquis like him.

 Once the orc war breaks out.

 The entire Northland Province will inevitably suffer an impact, and the loss of his territory will be unimaginable.

But the territory of the kingdom has long been completely divided. The entire kingdom, except for the Northland Province, can no longer divide a marquis territory for him, let alone a marquis territory. Even an earl territory is difficult for the entire Tulip Kingdom. A piece of land has been divided. Even if it is possible, no province is willing to let him, the Marquis, step in and get a piece of the pie. In this case, he has no other choice except the Northland Province, and in the end he has no choice but to accept it. , hoping that the orc war will not break out so early.

 But no one expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse this year.

 A large number of orcs actually attacked the entire northern direction.

Even the Kingdom’s Earth Dragon Knights were affected.

 As for his Flying Eagle Knights, even in less than three months, the losses were extremely heavy.

“My lord, do we need to ask the kingdom for help?”

The leader of the Flying Eagle Knights next to him asked Marquis Lehman anxiously.

"I'm afraid we are not needed for this. The Earth Dragon Knights should have already asked for help."

 “How is the situation?”

“Is it possible to confirm that the orc tribe is preparing to launch a war?”

Marquis Lehman shook his head and stopped walking back and forth. He looked at his knight commander and pondered for a moment before he asked with hesitation.

 “It’s not certain yet.”

"But it shouldn't be a war. The Beamon clan has not taken any action. Currently, the only ones taking action are tauren, werewolves, and some second- and third-level orc tribes."

“But there are too many. There are many third-level orc tribes found on the east, west, and south sides, involving a large amount of the power of the Flying Eagle Knights, so that there is no way to solve the second-level orc tribe.”

The leader of the Flying Eagle Knights pondered for a moment, then shook his head and spoke softly.

Hearing his words, Marquis Lehman breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were really an orc war, he might be in real trouble this time.

If not, there are ways to deal with it.

Marquis Lehman has a headache. The orc tribe's attack on the Northland Province has led to the destruction of a large number of territories and the flight of lords. This is not a good thing for him.

Now that the Northland Province has been developed, there are fewer and fewer people willing to become pioneer lords, especially the heirs of the great nobles. After all, the casualty rate in the Northland Province is too high and the investment rate is too low. Even if they are willing Most of the people who became pioneer lords were wandering knights. Wandering knights only had a few gold coins, which was incomparable to the heirs of great nobles and those lords who had already completed a certain amount of pioneering.

Not to mention the impact this time, it can be expected that there will be fewer big nobles who want to enter the Northland Province to develop in the future.

 This means that he will lose a large amount of gold coin income, how can this not give him a headache.

But he also knew that now was not the time to have a headache.

 First of all, he had to make sure that nothing happened to the Flying Eagle Knights before he could think about it.

"I see."

 “Ignore those things for the time being!”

"We can temporarily evacuate the knights to the Qiuye Territory to stop the orcs. In addition, we can call three hundred magic crystal cannons, one thousand second-order magic cores, and twenty third-order magic cores from Loren City to the Qiuye Territory." ”

Marquis Lehman gritted his teeth and immediately made up his mind.

"yes!"

The leader of the Flying Eagle Knights was a little shocked, but he soon became happy and responded quickly.

 With this resource, the losses of the Knights will be reduced as much as possible.

"These guys must be crazy. They dare to attack human territory without the leadership of the Beamon clan."

Marquis Lehman couldn't help but curse secretly.

It was just a conversation between two people.

 A figure in the distance walked over quickly.

 “Your Majesty the Marquis!”

 The figure came over and spoke respectfully.

"what happened?"

Marquis Lehman couldn't help but jump when he saw the person coming.

The visitor is the affairs officer of Loren City. Since he is almost ignored, the affairs officer rarely comes to him.

“Your Majesty, the Marquis, the report of the arrival of the Maine Valley requires your personal approval.”

 The Loren City Affairs Officer spoke respectfully.

 “Maine Valley?”

 “Didn’t I say, let them resist as much as possible.”

Marquis Lehman had a headache, and then he frowned and spoke.

“Your Majesty, this is not a request for help.”

"It's a battle report." "He, he seems to have defeated a second-level tauren tribe, and the Marquis needs to verify it."

Loren City Affairs Officer listened to Marquis Lehman's words. He obviously knew that Lehman had misunderstood, and he quickly opened his mouth to explain.

"What?"

“You said you defeated the second-order tauren tribe?”

Marquis Lehman was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the Loren City Affairs Officer.

"Yes!"

“They also sent eleven second-level tauren heads.”

 The Loren City Affairs Officer nodded and spoke again with confidence.

“It seems that those pioneering lords are quite good!”

"show me!"

After Marquis Lehman was stunned, he couldn't help but smile and quickly signaled the Loren City Affairs Officer to hand over the battle report to him.

The Loren City Affairs Officer quickly handed it over.

Marquis Lehman received the battle report.

Look at the content.

soon.

 The smile on his face became a little stronger again.

 The situation was better than he imagined.

　　The pioneer lords of the Maine Valley actually took the initiative to unite against the orc tribe.

Not only that, they also successfully defeated a second-level tauren tribe of more than four thousand and killed all the second-level tauren.

If such news is true, it will undoubtedly give the Northland Province, which is currently in chaos, a shot in the arm.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Not bad!"

 “Frankie, let’s do this. You take the Kingdom Ombudsman to the Maine Valley to verify it.”

“In addition, prepare for the baron canonization ceremony. It seems that our Northland Province will give birth to a baron again.”

Marquis Lehman chuckled.

 The bad mood I had been feeling for several months has improved slightly this time.

If the battle report this time is true, then the situation in the entire Northland Province may be changed.

more importantly.

　　There has been no new baron born in the Northland Province for more than three years.

The kingdom's requirement is that as long as a small town can be developed in the Northland Province and has no less than 5,000 people, it can be canonized as a baron of the kingdom and become an emerging noble.

 Because of this, countless knights have flocked to the Northland Province in the past twenty years.

 But the result was not too good.

 The huge province of Northland has only been canonized fifty-six barons in the past twenty years.

You must know that the number of viscounts in Frost Moon Province alone is probably no less than three hundred, and the number of barons may even reach thousands. And the entire Northland Province has only had fifty-six barons in the past twenty years, and that's a total. It seems that there are only thirty-six barons. As for the remaining twenty, one can imagine the outcome.

Especially in the past three years, with the continuous turmoil in the Northland, no baron has been canonized for more than three years.

 This is also the reason why fewer and fewer nobles are going to the Northland Province to become pioneer lords.

If a new baron can be born under this situation, it will undoubtedly stimulate the enthusiasm of those nobles to explore again.

 This is undoubtedly a good thing for the kingdom, and it is also a good thing for him, Marquis Lehman.

"yes!"

The Loren City Affairs Officer nodded and agreed directly.

 Soon, Loren City began to take action quickly.

after one day.

Frankie, with the kingdom's inspectors and a large number of people, set off toward the Maine Valley.

 Maine Valley.

Thor and others quickly received the news.

 Suddenly, the entire Xiongying Ridge couldn't help but boil.

 Everyone's expression was filled with joy.

Especially those knights.

Following Thor to the Northland Province to become pioneer knights, they were uneasy, nervous, and also hesitant at first. But as Thor went from one victory to another, their strength and gains were all there. As we continue to improve, this kind of hesitation, anxiety, and tension gradually turn into expectations and yearning for the future.

However, no matter how much we look forward to and yearn for, until Thor canonizes him as a baron, this can only be longing and expectation.

 Only when Thor is canonized as a baron and gradually moves higher is the real harvest.

  After all, this means that they will also have the hope of becoming nobles.

 This is the existence that countless knights dream of.

 Eagle Ridge is having a carnival.

 Everyone is full of hope.

 This is true even for civilians.

 In the castle.

 Thor couldn't help but feel excited when he got the news.

 It has been almost a year since I arrived in the Northland Province.

 In this year, even with the help of Golden Finger, only he himself knows the hardships and hardships he has experienced.

 This moment has finally reached the harvest time.

 As long as he passes the review of the kingdom's censor, he can be canonized as a baron.

 He will also obtain the status of a noble in a real sense, rather than the current temporary noble status.

 In this world, the gap between aristocrats and non-aristocratic people is almost as vast as the sky.

 There is a huge gap between even temporary aristocrats and real aristocrats.

The rights and interests enjoyed are completely different.

 Don’t say anything else.

In the past, if he attacked other noble territories and wanted to occupy them, he would need to pay the kingdom for a certain amount of territory purchase rights. Just like at this moment, although those territories actually belong to him, they do not belong to him in name. If he did not A baron still needs to pay gold coins, but if he is a baron, he does not need to take this step. He can directly go to Loren City to express ownership of these places.

 In addition, there are other differences in various aspects.

For example, temporary nobles can only be found in the Northland Province, and are not recognized by other places except the Northland Province. However, the nobles are actually recognized by even the entire human continent.

Although this world has a kingdom system, in a more strict sense it is an aristocratic republic system.

 Nobles are the rulers of this world.

 Whether one can become a noble is the most important thing.
