Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 69 Baron Pape’s Anger

Thor's contract is very simple, that is, after signing the contract, they must obey Thor's edict, and at the same time, they need to send their legitimate son to Eagle Ridge to join his knights, and pay a thousand gold coins for training every year, okay , more accurately it should be called tax.

Just use more euphemistic language to describe it.

Compared with the previous ransom, this is naturally much less.

But once this contract is signed, they will become affiliated with Eagle Ridge.

This is simply unacceptable to them.

This was also the main reason why they had difficulty accepting it in the first place.

However, whether it was Papyrus, Baron Valmy, or Baron Graton, they actually had no choice.

Lawrence's territory does have greater strength, but the one who can't resist it is a fool. Papyrus knows very well that if he hands over the territory to his son, it will most likely not take two years, and the entire Lawrence The territory will be destroyed.

As for the other two, they were not much better either.

It is true that their eldest son is still in the territory, and he is not as stupid as the second son of Baron Pape, but their territory is not as good as Lawrence's territory. They have lost their great knight and have a large number of elite knights. Say more.

"I agree to sign the contract!"

Baron Graton sighed, then stepped forward and signed the contract as well.

"Baron Gratton, you!"

Seeing Baron Graton's movements, Baron Valmy looked at him in disbelief.

"We have no choice!"

Baron Gratton sighed and shook his head.

There seemed to be two options, but in fact Baron Grattan knew very well that he only had one option.

Because of the first option, he simply couldn't afford such a huge expenditure of gold coins unless he sold all his territory.

"Lord Thor, you win!"

When Baron Valmy heard Baron Graton's words, he couldn't help but sigh, and the next moment he also stepped forward.

"Buzz!"

Ripples spread, and the next moment the magic circle also covered them.

The contract is established.

A strong binding force spread directly to them at this moment.

Make them oblige.

In the Lawrence Territory, Thor still has to worry about Baron Pape abandoning himself, but the remaining two Thors don't have to worry.

"The right choice!"

"Three of you, you can leave now!"

"Remember to send the personnel here within seven days, and the ban in your body will be lifted by then!"

Thor chuckled, then raised his hand, and the contract flew back into his hand again.

The three of them sighed and left the door.

The formal knights and trainee knights who were captured outside all chose to be released.

As for the slaves, of course he kept them.

The three of them even had to send over the slave contract. Although the three of them were a little unwilling to do so, they didn't say anything in the end.

After all, these knight powers are the most important.

As long as these powers can be preserved, a slave's loss is a loss.

As he watched the three groups of people leave, Thor couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

The contract was something he had previously asked Ren to purchase in Loren City.

It cost him a full thousand gold coins.

However, the effect is also extremely huge.

The three people signed a contract, which also means that the three baronies have now become his annexed territories, although the gains from direct annexation are huge.

But it was also enough to ensure his absolute hegemony over the entire Maine Valley.

As for direct annexation, that is not what needs to be considered at the moment. After all, there is still a large area of territory that has not been completed in the entire Eagle Ridge. It is not a wise choice to annex territory that is dozens of miles away.

Instead, incorporating them into their own annexed territories is the best option.

On the one hand, he can mobilize their power like high-level nobles. On the other hand, this will help him integrate the entire Maine Valley and be fully prepared for subsequent development.

You must know that his target is not a baron or a viscount.

But to go higher.

Even the entire Northland province.

These are enemies in the present, and his strength is in the future.

Every baron lord who can rise in the Northland Province is not a simple existence.

If he could gain their surrender, his future would be unimaginable.

Eyes converge.

After watching everyone leave, his figure immediately returned to the castle.

in the room.

“The next step is to develop with peace of mind!”

Thor spoke in a soft voice, his thoughts couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and his eyes looked at the map.

"Crench!"

There was a soft knock on the door.

Anna walked in carefully, put down a plate of fruit gently, and then left carefully.

moment.

Thor woke up, looked at the fruit next to him, and then at the drawer that was not moving at all, and couldn't help but smile.

It was obvious that the half-elf girl had gradually gotten used to it in the past few months.

Don't even think twice about stealing slave contracts.

You must know that before, this person had always wanted to escape.

Being able to reach this point now shows that there has been a big change.

A smile spread on his face, and Thor couldn't help but look at the map in front of him again.

External threats have been addressed.

The entire Maine Valley, except for that idiot on the west side, has been subdued by him.

Although there are still some pioneering lords, with the surrender of the three noble lords, those pioneering lords will no longer have any problems.

Next, he needs to consider the issue of territory construction.

As a lord, war is not the main thing, development is the most important thing.

Moreover, if the Maine River Valley is such a fertile place, Thor would feel like he is blaspheming the goddess of life if he does not make good use of it.

As for how to use it.

He already had an idea, but he just lacked the manpower.

But now, the three major lords have given him thousands of slaves, so he can undoubtedly take action.

"No, I still need some talents!"

Thor pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

And just when Thor began to think about the next construction.

The three major lords also gradually returned to their territories.

Lawrence territory.

Looking at my father who returned.

Opal Lawrence suddenly panicked.

"Father, Father!"

Opal Lawrence spoke with trembling and disbelief.
