Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 24 Planning a large-scale iron mine
Of course, there are existences that he is currently unable to reach, and naturally there are resource points that he can currently obtain. No matter the third, fifth, seventh, and eighth items, he can currently obtain them.

Even the first and second items are possible for him to win.

His eyes swept over the second and first lines, and Thor's eyes finally converged on the first line.

Compared to Typhonium, iron ore undoubtedly plays a greater role in the construction of the territory.

The only problem is the large goblin tribe. The average number of goblins is in the thousands, and may even reach thousands. With his current strength, it is still a bit difficult to capture a large goblin tribe. difficulty.

But it's just a little difficult.

Compared to its huge value, it is not a problem at all.

After all, iron ore aside, it is currency, which is of great help to territory construction and farmland reclamation, and as mentioned before, it can also serve as a major economic pillar for Eagle Ridge in the future.

This is extremely important.

After all, up to now, the entire Xiongying Ridge is still unable to make ends meet, and relying on farmland cultivation may not be able to develop the territory.

If the territory wants to have a better future, it is most important to find its own industry.

This is the best option.

Even if you have to pay some price, it's best to get it as soon as possible.

The night is getting darker.

Thor finally made up his mind.

When the morning sun shines.

As soon as Thor got up, he summoned Steve.

"grown ups!"

Steve spoke respectfully.

"Go gather some manpower and explore the fifty miles east of my territory. There seems to be a group of timid goblins there. I want to know how many timid goblins there are!"

Thor spoke and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Steve was a little surprised, but he quickly nodded in agreement.

Along the way here, he has already seen the magic of his lord.

Naturally there will be no objections this time.

Watched Steve leave.

Thor immediately began to wait.

If he wants to seize the iron ore, he still needs to be fully prepared.

And this step is naturally to understand the number of that group of timid goblins.

If there are only a thousand timid goblins, then needless to say, a swarm of four hundred knights will be enough to deal with them, but if there are thousands of them, then other methods have to be considered.

"I hope it's not too much!"

The whispering voice spoke, and Thor's expression was thoughtful.

On the other side, Steve quickly led his men to the location fifty miles to the east to investigate.

This exploration.

Almost three days have passed.

It wasn't until three days later that Steve returned in a hurry.

At the same time, he brought back a surprising news.

That was the tribe of timid goblins on the east side. The number of goblins was far more than he imagined.

Even after three days of preliminary investigation, Steve could determine that the number of timid goblins exceeded three or four thousand. In fact, it would be more, maybe even five thousand, or even six or seven thousand.

Such values.

Even Thor couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it.

Goblins are among the weakest orcs, almost the lowest beings in the orc tribe.

The timid goblin is the weakest existence among the goblin tribe.

But it also depends on the quantity.

If the number reaches thousands, or even six or seven thousand, even a timid Goblin's strength will be extremely impressive.

Considering that he currently has more than a hundred trainee knights and less than forty formal knights, if he wants to win, even if he can, the losses will be huge.

More importantly, if four hundred people want to keep all the thousands of timid goblins, it is basically a dream. , once these timid goblins cannot be completely eliminated, the large iron mines will inevitably be attacked from time to time, and may even attract the attention of other goblins and even other orcs. That is the most deadly.

At this moment, Eagle Ridge has no way to deal with other orcs.

In the room, Thor's brows frowned slightly.

Steve was waiting quietly and didn't bother.

"Steve, do you think there is any way to deal with those goblins without letting them escape, at least not in large numbers."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Thor looked at Steve and spoke with an inquiry.

"this!"

After hearing Thor's words, Steve spoke subconsciously, but stopped midway through his words. His brows also wrinkled slightly, and he began to fall into deep thought.

After a while.

Steve really couldn't think of a way.

"My subordinates don't know!"

"grown ups!"

After speaking, Steve shook his head.

"Okay, you go down first!"

"I'll think about it again!"

Thor waved his hand and motioned for Steve to go down. He didn't expect this man to come up with any solution.

On this day, the talent was okay, but it was just talent, and it was obviously not as good as other aspects.

This is also normal.

For the initial construction of the territory, all that was needed was force, so Count Engeldressrosa selected knights with good talents for him.

As for other talents, there is a high probability that they will be selected for him after he becomes a baron and returns to the family.

"Yes!"

Steve nodded and slowly retreated.

Until Steve left for a moment, Thor slowly left the room with deep thought and walked in the territory.

The territory now resembles a small town.

There is also a lot more life on the road.

Everyone's faces were also full of life and longing.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

"Lord Lord!"

"Lord Lord!"

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

Voices spoke one after another, walking in the territory, and figures one after another, whether they were knights, citizens, or serfs, were all saluting respectfully.

It is completely different from when I first entered the territory.

Especially those serfs, whose eyes were full of fanaticism.

"Have you heard that the Lord will pardon the serfs again in three months? I wonder if I will be there!"

"I heard that, I really hope that there will be one for me too. Then I can also become a free citizen of Eagle Ridge!"

"Hey, I don't know if I have any hope!"

There were sounds mixed together, and Thor's thoughtful expression couldn't help but reveal a smile.

But just as the smile spread, a bright light flashed in his mind.

Then the whole person couldn't help but froze in place.

Because at this moment he thought of a way, a way to ensure just in case.

His thoughts kept flickering, and he couldn't help but look at the working serf, and his smile inevitably bloomed again.
