Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 172 Arriving in the north direction, family members

[Daily information has been updated]

[1: There is a thousand-year-old ancient tree thirty miles west of you. Split it and you can get a sacred tree fruit in it]

[2: Fifty miles east of you, a group of one-horned ants will pass by in three hours. Their gnawing ability is extremely powerful. 】

[3: Twenty miles ahead of you, a herd of unicorns will pass by at noon tomorrow]

[4: A thousand miles to your west, there will be a Star-Moon Fruit that is about to mature]

[5: Five hundred miles to the north of you, a group of earth dragons will come to look for food in five hours. 】

[8; Ten days later, in the Autumn Leaf Territory, the bloodthirsty werewolves will launch a grand divine revelation here. However, due to the arrival of the power of the Tulip Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms, the divine revelation failed midway. The divine arrival did not occur, but only the divine presence. Ruins fell here]

[9: Fifteen days later, the bloodthirsty werewolf leader Shenqi failed. Part of his body split and sneaked into the Northland Province, trying to reach the Northland Glacier through the Maine River. 】

Lines of information appeared, and Thor led everyone on the road to the north. In a few days, they gained a lot. Not only did they obtain two sacred tree fruits, they also obtained information on a star-moon fruit.

At the same time, some other magic plants were harvested.

In less than five days of traveling like this, the price of this harvest exceeded four to five thousand gold coins.

Even without relying on the territory and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, Thor felt that he would be able to gain a lot by relying solely on the daily intelligence system.

After all, the entire Northland Province is too big, and the resources it contains are unimaginable.

Even the current part of the Tulip Kingdom is only the tip of the iceberg.

In the huge Northland province, there are unimaginable wealth waiting for people to explore.

But Thor is like having a God's perspective. As long as there are good things within a certain range of him, the information will be updated every day.

This allows him to completely skip the process of searching compared to others, and only needs to obtain it.

Even if there are dangers that may be encountered, Daily Intelligence has corresponding methods to avoid them.

Compared with others, this advantage is naturally different.

However, this thought only appeared in Thor's mind for a moment, and was quickly suppressed by him.

The rewards of exploration are indeed great, but compared to the territory, one is unable to stabilize, and the other is the loss of the territory. In this world, it will be extremely difficult for him to complete the class jump.

With the territory, he can now obtain the title of baron, and in the future he can obtain the title of viscount, even earl, even marquis, and duke.

But after losing his territory, it would be almost difficult for him to complete his promotion again.

More importantly, owning a territory is not just about status promotion.

A noble who owns a territory is bound to be able to attract a large number of talents, and it is also enough to make a large number of talents work.

But without the existence of territory, even nobles may not be attractive to talents.

The gap is still huge.

In the jungle.

A huge bonfire was burning, and a pig beast was quickly dealt with and then placed on top of the fire.

"How far is it from the northern defense line?"

The faint aroma of barbecue filled the air. Thor looked at Steve next to him and spoke with a question.

"Sir, we are still about a hundred miles away from the Autumn Leaf Territory, and we should be able to reach it within two days."

Steve looked at the map, and then made a solemn report to Thor.

"Two days?"

"Need to speed things up a bit."

Thor nodded and immediately made up his mind.

Five days have passed, and the day of divine revelation in the daily information is getting closer and closer. If we continue to delay, there may be accidents.

Thor thought for a while and decided to go over first.

As for other gains in the daily information, you can wait to get them later.

There is no need to worry about this.

"Yes!"

Although Steve and the others were a little confused, no one raised any objections when faced with Thor's words.

The next day.

The group set out again, and the journey could not help but speed up a bit again.

Two days later, Thor and his party arrived at the Autumn Leaf Territory.

The Qiuye collar at this moment has undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. Looking around, it is all bare, and scorch marks permeate the entire field of vision.

The ground is even more dark red.

A dilapidated pass spreads from one end of sight to the other end.

It is not only dotted with dark brown, but also full of potholes. There is even one section that is obviously damaged and is being repaired quickly.

Even though Thor had already guessed this scene, when he actually saw the scene of Qiuye Leader, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"this!"

Pelos also spoke subconsciously, but he didn't know what to say halfway through the words.

Others were no better.

Ren and Carter couldn't help but look at this scene in surprise.

Even Thor couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Now this place looks like this, you can imagine how tragic the war situation is.

In fact, it was indeed tragic. The kingdom's second wave of support arrived, with the support of the three great dukes and the power of the royal court. It not only wiped out a large number of orc tribes that entered the Northland Province, but also stabilized the three defense lines. .

Naturally, the line of defense of the Qiuye Leader was also included.

But that's all.

After this period of time, a steady stream of orc tribes continued to attack the three lines of defense where the Autumn Leaf Territory was located.

There are many third-level and even fourth-level orc tribes among them.

Under this situation, a large number of orcs fell in front of the pass almost every day, and many strong men from the Tulip Kingdom fell here every day.

Even the supporting nobles suffered a lot of losses.

As for the noble lords who came before to "make contributions" in an attempt to gain enough merit, they suffered even greater losses.

So much so that there are undoubtedly a lot fewer noble lords who want to come here to gain merit during this period of time.

The arrival of Thor and others also made the knights stationed here stunned for a moment.

"Resist the orcs?"

"You guys still dare to come?"

"Just a moment!"

The knight spoke, somewhat surprised, but still quickly went to report.

Soon Thor met a court earl who was in charge of the defense line.

"Yes, the kingdom needs lords like you!"

"Sir of Dressrosa!"

"Let's do it this way. You, the heirs of Dressrosa, are also in charge of the west side, so just go to the west side!"

"Wright!"

Words speak.

Soon a knight stepped forward quickly.

"grown ups!"

The knight spoke respectfully.

"Lead His Excellency Baron Thor to Brian's location on the west side."

The words spoke and the order was given. "yes!"

The knight responded respectfully.

Thor also immediately expressed his gratitude to a court earl.

As the court earl watched, Thor followed the knight named "Light" to the west side.

There is some curiosity inside.

He didn't expect that he could hear information about his family here.

Out of curiosity, Thor was quickly led to his destination on the west side one day later.

I also met the descendant of Dressrosa named "Brian".

This is a middle-aged man with a beard. He has a burly figure and is completely blind in one eye. In terms of seniority, he should be considered his elder brother.

House Dressrosa spreads throughout the Tulip Kingdom.

The Brian family in front of them is one of them.

But unlike other members, Brian's father became a palace viscount, and Brian inherited his father's title. This time, he followed the kingdom's support to the northern defense line.

"Hahaha, Thor!"

Seeing Thor, Brian's eyes lit up and he strode over.

"Brother Brian!"

Thor also spoke with a smile, and the figure stepped forward to greet him.

The two exchanged a hug.

"Thor, I just received news that a baron named Thor from our Dressrosa family came to the northern defense line to resist the orcs. I was a little surprised."

"I didn't expect it was really you. Well done. I've heard a lot of legends about you in the past few days."

"Those northern nobles have endless admiration for you."

Brian smiled and spoke with emotion in his expression.

There was also sincere admiration in the eyes looking at Thor.

What he just said was not a joke, but he actually heard it.

At first, even he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this piece of information.

As a descendant of Dressrosa, he is well aware of the difficulty of establishing a lord. Thor actually became a baron in less than two years. In Dressrosa's hundreds of years of history, It can be said to be extremely rare.

"Brother Brian, you've done me a favor!"

Thor shook his head with a smile, and then followed Brian to the entrance of the pass.

Their team is responsible for guarding this crenel and the ten magic crystal cannons.

The battle situation here is also very tragic, and there is obviously a large gap in front of the huge pass.

Walking on the pass, you can see stone slabs completely soaked in blood.

"This is not an award."

"This is your ability. Even Uncle Engel would probably praise it."

Brian spoke with emotion, with a hint of envy in his expression.

Although he is already a viscount, he knows the difference between territorial nobles and palace nobles.

Thor's status as a baron is much higher than his status as a viscount.

What's more, Thor still has a brighter future.

"By the way, Thor, how long are you planning to stay this time? This is not a place to stay for a long time. The attacks of orcs have become more frequent recently, and it is very dangerous here."

In the midst of envy, Brian seemed to have thought of something, his expression became solemn, and he spoke in a low voice.

"More often?"

Thor raised his brows and subconsciously asked.

"Yes, after we came to support before, the attacks of the orcs gradually subsided, but for some reason, the attacks became more frequent this month. There were even several fourth-level orc tribes reappearing in the north."

"If you want to gain meritorious service, this is still not the place for you."

Brian looked around and found that there was no one else, then he spoke again, with a solemn look on his face.

"Thank you, brother Brian, I understand."

"It should not be long, probably only half a month. The main reason is that I am very close to the Viscount's merit points. There are only a few hundred points. After I get them, I will leave."

Thor nodded and immediately expressed his thanks, his words being spoken with a serious tone.

This was the reason why he went to the Northland Province.

Regardless of whether anyone cared or not, Thor was still prepared.

"A few hundred points?"

"Indeed, it is only available here recently."

"Let's see if there are any orc attacks in the past few days. If so, I will cooperate with you and see if I can capture a third-level orc and some second-level orcs."

Brian nodded, not too surprised.

Thor's choice seemed normal to him.

With only a few merit points left, heading to the northern defense line to try is almost the choice of most noble lords.

Many pioneer lords had arrived before.

Thor is one of them.

"this!"

Listening to Brian's words, Thor hesitated.

"Don't refuse. Uncle Engel also helped my father a lot back then."

"However, Thor, you must agree to one condition. After this time, you'd better leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we are really attacked by the fourth-order orcs, we may not be able to stop them here!"

Brian shook his head, and then spoke solemnly.

"Understood!"

"Thank you, brother Brian!"

Thor took a deep breath, suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and then expressed his gratitude to Brian.

Nothing more was said.

After all, the divine revelation is about to begin.

There is no need to explain anything then.

"Thank you for what!"

"We are brothers!"

"Let's go. It should be time for dinner soon. The food here is not as good as in the mainland. I don't know if you can get used to it."

Brian said with a smile, and then pulled Thor into the wall.

This is a small gathering place.
