Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 281 Ancient Gladiator
"sough!"

The jungle made a rustling sound, and a group of people slowly walked out. There were hundreds of them. They were Thor and Count Engel. A day ago, Renn returned with Thor's knights.

With the addition of Thor's knights and Count Engel's knights, the number finally exceeded one hundred.

Compared to before Thor left, Marshall and others have not changed much.

Although the strength has improved slightly, it is only a small improvement.

This is normal. Although Thor has given a lot of support, these people have not obtained the essence of life. In fact, their talents have not changed much. The improvement of resources alone is naturally not that obvious.

But even so, Count Engel couldn't help being surprised when he saw Marshall and others.

Especially Marshall, when he left with Thor, he was still at the peak of the Great Knight. Now he has not only officially broken through the Great Knight and entered the Earth Knight, but has obviously reached the late stage of the Earth Knight.

At the same time, everyone in the knights that Thor belongs to is also about the same.

The fifty-four knights Thor brought this time were almost the elite of the entire Eagle Ridge, and were naturally the same people that Count Engel had arranged for Thor before.

Count Engel is also familiar with these people.

Unexpectedly, the strength of these people also improved rapidly.

But after looking at Thor again, Count Engel felt a little relieved.

Going to become a pioneer lord, Thor's transformation is the greatest, even more than anything else.

In just three years, Thor at this moment has become comparable to the average peak sky knight, and he may not be much inferior even if he is facing half a step of the holy realm.

This is nothing short of a miracle.

In comparison, Thor's Knights are nothing.

Count Engel could only sigh.

When everyone gathered together, they finally reached the core in just one day.

"The gathering place that Grand Duke Lie Pu'er mentioned should be twenty miles ahead. We should be able to reach it today."

Count Engel spoke, and at this moment he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

To be honest, feeling the groups of light approaching rapidly, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After all, although his strength has improved, the entire Dressrosa family has not. Once they encounter any powerful family and a conflict breaks out, it goes without saying that there will be consequences.

The Half-Step Saint Realm is very strong, and the nobles who can get close to here probably all have the strength of the Half-Step Saint Realm.

After excluding the half-step sanctuary, Count Engel knew very well that the entire Dressrosa family at this moment, let alone the dukes of the major kingdoms, even compared with the top marquis of the major kingdoms, the Dressrosa family Both may be weaker.

As a result, once a conflict breaks out, the casualties will inevitably be huge.

But fortunately, it didn't happen after all.

After those light groups approached, they consciously chose to stay away.

In the end, we made it all the way without any danger.

"Twenty miles?"

Thor nodded and couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment.

This time, as expected, he will see the real top nobles in the entire continent, except for the two empires.

On the continent, there are two major empires. Under the jurisdiction of these two empires are countless kingdoms and countless principalities, especially the number of principalities is as numerous as the sand of the Ganges River.

And even the number of kingdoms is not small.

It's just that those who can participate are all the most powerful families in the major kingdoms.

Thor still has some expectations for these powerful families.

First, he wanted to see if new daily information could be refreshed as he interacted with these powerful families. Second, he also wanted to see how far his strength had reached at this moment by taking advantage of this opportunity.

The group moved forward again.

Until night gradually falls.

Thor and Count Engel finally arrived at the gathering place.

At the gathering place at this moment, there are already many knights on guard.

As soon as Thor, Count Engel and others approached, they attracted the attention of the vigilant knights.

Engel immediately stepped forward and told the situation.

"Please wait!"

An earth knight spoke respectfully, and looked at Count Engel with some surprise, but he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to report.

Soon after.

This earth knight returned quickly.

"Your Majesty Count Engel, please."

The Earth Knight spoke respectfully, and then led Thor and his party towards the center.

Probably a few minutes later.

Thor also finally met a group of people from the Tulip Noble Alliance.

When his eyes came together, Thor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Because at this moment, he could feel a huge pressure. There were five extremely powerful auras in the entire noble alliance. Even he felt a pressure from this aura.

At the same time, Anna's body beside him couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Anna!"

Thor spoke softly.

"It's okay, Master."

Ana spoke softly, then shook her head.

"Karenina!"

Thor looked at Anna and shook his head. He understood what was going on, and his eyes couldn't help but look at a few figures among the group of people in the distance. The eye-catching noble symbols were obviously the Karenina family.

As Anna was once a member of the Karenina family, Thor didn't know what happened to her, but it was obvious that the outcome would not be too wonderful, otherwise Anna would not choose to escape from the Karenina family.

But since Anna didn't want to say it, Thor wouldn't force it.

His right hand gently held Anna's palm, comforting her heart.

Then he looked at his father.

"Father."

Thor spoke quietly.

"Let's go, let's go there!"

Count Engel couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then spoke softly.

"it is good!"

Thor nodded.

Then the group continued to move forward.

"Hahaha, Count Engel's side!"

At this moment, the old Duke Lepu'er sounded with a laughing voice.

"Grand Duke Liepu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still look charming."

Count Engel couldn't help but smile as well.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for many days."

"Come, Count Engel, let me introduce to you. This one is the previous Duke of Karenina, and this one is the previous Duke of the Skoda family."

"As for these three, you should also know them."

As everyone approached, the old Duke Lepu'er couldn't help but smile, and then introduced the people around him to Count Engel.

"Count Engel, we have heard many legends about you from Grand Duke Lepu'er in the past few days."

"first meet."

Old Duke Karenina and Old Duke Skodare also smiled and spoke. "Yes, Count Engel, you hide it really well."

Marquis Solo also smiled and spoke.

Following the introduction of Old Duke Lepu'er, several people greeted Count Engel one after another.

His eyes were looking at Count Engel and his party.

When they discovered Count Engel's pitiful knights, everyone could not help but frown slightly. However, they soon felt the domain aura of Count Engel, and the two old Dukes couldn't help but have a look on their faces. Happy.

For them, it doesn't matter if Count Engel's knights are weaker, as long as Count Engel is indeed a half-step saint.

"I've seen Grand Duke Karenina, Grand Duke Skodare, and Marquis Mackendi, Marquis Ivano, and Marquis Solo!"

Count Engel smiled and spoke. He naturally understood the attitudes of several people.

But he didn't pay too much attention.

With the three top marquises, there really isn't much that the Dressrosa family needs to pay too much attention to at this moment.

As he breaks through the half-step of the Holy Realm, he will definitely be able to enter the Holy Realm in the future. The three top marquises will no longer pose any threat to the entire Dressrosa family.

As for the three major duke families, they do not have too many conflicts with each other.

"Come on, Count Engel, we just want to discuss the next matter."

"go!"

"Sophinia, go and settle down the Knights of Count Engel."

Old Duke Lepu'er nodded with a smile, and then spoke to a figure next to him.

"Yes!"

The figure responded respectfully.

Then he walked out and led Thor and everyone to another place.

Count Engel nodded towards Thor and others.

Thor and his group immediately followed this figure and headed to another place.

At this moment, the entire open space has been repaired, and even the residence of Count Engel and his party has been clearly arranged.

There are rows of wooden houses everywhere.

"Everyone, just rest here."

"If you need anything, just go to the west and call me."

Sophinia smiled and spoke.

"Thank you very much."

Thor smiled and nodded.

"No need to thank you, then I won't disturb you."

Sophinia smiled and nodded, then left the place.

While waiting for him to leave, the group began to move in quickly.

This vacant land is quite large, and there are many houses. It will not be a problem to accommodate more than a hundred people, and it is not a big problem to even accommodate seven or eight hundred people.

After they settled down, a moment later, another knight sent a lot of food.

Everyone immediately started eating.

the other side.

Count Engel was taken into a large room by Grand Duke Lepu'er and others.

Start discussing the next matter.

Time passes slowly.

When night falls completely.

Stars gradually dotted the sky.

Only then did Count Engel return.

Upon his return, Count Engel immediately came to Thor's location.

"Father?"

Thor was a little surprised when he saw Count Engel arriving.

"Thor, I'm afraid there may be some trouble next."

Count Engel looked at Thor, couldn't help but sigh, and spoke softly.

"What's wrong, Father?"

Thor was a little surprised.

"The ones currently participating in the final battle should be the sixteen kingdom noble alliances. Yesterday, these sixteen noble alliances decided to fight in the form of ancient gladiatorial battles and the ownership of the law fragments."

Count Engel spoke in a deep voice and slowly recounted the information he had obtained from Grand Duke Lepu'er.

"Ancient gladiator?"

Thor raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He does know a little bit about ancient gladiatorial battles.

This is a way of fighting among nobles from ancient times.

When two nobles discovered irreconcilable conflicts, they would initiate a gladiatorial fight.

The so-called gladiatorial battle is when both sides send the same number of people and the same existence to initiate a battle in a fixed place.

The winning party can gain everything from the other party, and the losing party will lose everything.

"Yes, it's the ancient gladiatorial battle."

"There are currently sixteen noble alliances. It is decided that each noble alliance will send ten people. Sixteen noble alliances will fight in pairs. The winner will fight against the winner, and the loser will fight against the loser. The winning side can obtain half of the rules of the losing side. Fragments, the final winner, all families must pay their ten law fragments.”

"There are currently sixteen noble alliances, and there are a total of six that are stronger than our Tulip Kingdom noble alliance. In addition to the Purple Flower Kingdom, the Macedonian Kingdom, the Shenmu Kingdom and the Purple Flower Kingdom are about the same, and the Sachi Kingdom and the Green Field Kingdom are more powerful. It's a bit weaker, but there are still six half-step saints. The most powerful one is currently the Kingdom of Sera, and there are currently ten known half-step saints. "

Count Engel spoke slowly.

Listening to Count Engel's words, Thor's expression could not help but tighten.

Even though he knew that the Tulip Kingdom was not the most powerful kingdom and could only be regarded as an upper-middle kingdom, he did not expect that there were as many as six beings more powerful than the Tulip Kingdom.

These are six kingdoms.

Wrestling.

Fight two by two.

Eight people won in the first round and eight people lost.

These eight people will continue to fight.

If you are unlucky and lose again and again, plus the final winner, the obtained law fragments will be almost completely swept away, and it may not even be enough.

"Father, what if there are not enough law fragments?"

Thor took a deep breath and quickly thought of it and couldn't help but ask.

“Must give!”

Count Engel just said softly.

But this sentence is enough.

In other words, no matter whether you have enough or not, and no matter what method you use, the amount of law fragments you need to pay must be sufficient.

If it’s not enough, then get more.

These are the rules of the kingdom's war, and they are rules set by the sixteen kingdoms' noble alliance. No one has the right to refuse.

What makes Thor a little confused is how the relatively weak ones among the sixteen families are willing to agree.
