Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 378: War breaks out, harvest begins

In this turbulent era, the nobles have their own way of survival, just like the Dressrosa family before. The family eaglets who condense the seed of life before the age of eighteen are qualified to join the family or become pioneer knights, while those who fail to condense the seed of life by the age of eighteen can only become wandering knights.

This is tantamount to exile, but it is also a noble choice.

Once problems arise among the main body of the nobility, these wandering knights are still qualified to rise again.

Even if the hope is extremely slim, existence and non-existence are two different things.

At this moment, with Thor's message, Marquis Engel knew very well that he needed new choices.

In the castle.

Instructions were issued one after another.

Soon, the entire Dressrosa family was mobilized.

Some elite young men began to be selected.

At the same time, some of the family's inheritance began to be dispersed.

These people will be dispatched one after another in the following period of time.

He joined several kingdoms that Thor had already chosen as a wandering knight.

If they can survive this crisis, they still have a chance to come back.

If they cannot survive, these descendants will survive in these new countries.

Just like the Dressrosa family who moved from the eve of the Salka Kingdom to the Tulip Kingdom three hundred years ago.

Of course due to the accumulation of Kingdom Wars.

Compared to the Dressrosa family three hundred years ago, these people are undoubtedly lucky.

Three hundred years ago.

That was a huge upheaval.

The Dressrosa family suffered heavy losses.

In the end, only one great knight and a dozen official knights escaped into the Tulip Kingdom.

This time, most of these heirs have one or two Earth Knights, so the chances of having one will be even greater.

The foundation it possesses is also deeper.

The only thing to consider is that the challenges they face will be greater.

After all, the countries they visited this time, except for one or two, were all powerful countries.

It's different from the Tulip Kingdom.

The Tulip Kingdom has only been rising for a few hundred years. When the Dressrosa family entered, the entire Tulip Kingdom was still in a period of vigorous development. Therefore, under such circumstances, the Dressrosa family was able to rise rapidly.

Other countries may not have this opportunity.

But no matter whether there is a chance or not.

It is better than being destroyed by a huge turmoil.

The location of Shimotsuki Province.

Count Engel is arranging it.

Time is slowly passing.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as the Dressrosa operation began.

Unsurprisingly, the unrest in the North has escalated again.

At first it was just a war between the Blazing Kingdom and the orcs.

However, this war soon involved the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom.

north.

The huge orc army directly attacked the border of the Tulip Kingdom.

For a moment, the entire northern border of the Tulip Kingdom became tense.

Especially when they discovered that the orc legions they encountered were not only of the second and third levels, but also had a large number of fourth and fifth levels, the entire Northern Border Legion of Tulip became unprecedentedly solemn.

The fourth-level orc army is okay, the Northern Legion is still qualified enough to deal with it, but the fifth-level orc army is beyond the Northern Legion's ability to deal with.

So, just a few days later.

The Northern Army went straight to the royal capital for help.

However, the capital was also overwhelmed by the Northern Legion's request for help, and the rebellion of the Skodar family had not yet been completely quelled.

The country is filled with a large number of members of the Church of the Gods and it is impossible to mobilize enough manpower.

In the end, the Lepuer family had no choice but to mobilize the remaining royal knights and nobles to head to the northern border.

This strength is obviously not enough.

However, these are the only forces that the Tulip Kingdom's royal court can mobilize at the moment.

Seven days later.

At the same time that Marquis Engel received the call-up order, Thor in Eagle Ridge in the northern province also received the call-up order.

"here we go!"

Looking at the conscription order in front of him, Thor couldn't help but whisper.

As someone who had daily intelligence, he naturally knew that the issuance of the conscription order marked the official start of the unrest in the three northern kingdoms.

What followed was the Orc War, God's revelation, the appearance of the Lord God, and the advent of the abyss.

Each time, it is a major event that shakes the entire continent.

Even with the daily intelligence of the past few days, Thor was already very clear that things were not going to the worst, and the Empire eventually resolved everything.

But being in this situation, even Thor couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Ryan, get ready. We'll set off tomorrow."

"Also, call Steve, Pelos, and Uncle Marshall."

Thor tapped the table lightly with his right hand, then took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Yes!"

Ren responded respectfully.

His figure receded.

After a while.

Three figures appeared before his eyes.

They were Steve, Pelos and Marshall.

The strength of the three people at this moment has already changed.

Not only Steve, Pelos broke through to the Sky Knight, and Marshall's strength even further reached the middle stage of Sky Knight.

And what is more important is not the improvement of the knight's skills.

It is an improvement in talent.

With the blessing of the essence of life, the talents of the three people have been transformed.

In the future, let alone reaching the divine realm, breaking through the holy realm will no longer be a big problem.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

"Master Thor!"

The three of them saluted respectfully.

"The orc war is about to break out, the kingdom's conscription has begun, and we need someone to take charge of the territory. Who of you is willing to stay?"

Looking at the three people, Thor pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Although this Orc War posed a great crisis, Thor knew from daily intelligence that there were countless opportunities in it.

So apart from the necessary ones who stayed behind, Thor was prepared to bring most of his forces with him.

Use the Orc War to temper the strength of your own forces.

Be prepared for the extraterritorial war that may break out later.

"this!"

Hearing Thor's words, the three of them couldn't help but be shocked, and then they looked at each other.

In the end, it was Pelos who stood up.

"My lord, I'll stay."

Pelos spoke respectfully with a wry smile on his face.

Among the three, he has the weakest strength and the weakest talent.

Pelos was well aware of this.

Even with the Life Essence, his level of improvement was not as high as Steve's.

He used up almost all of the life essence and three bottles of high-level life potions given to him by Thor before he managed to break through to the Sky Knight.

As for Steve, he knew that Steve gave his son a few drops of life essence and only took one bottle of high-level life potion.

The winner was decided almost instantly.

"Steve, Uncle Marshall, you two should hand over the relevant matters in the next few days."

"Pelos, prepare the supplies for the expedition."

"If you have any questions, go find Scott."

Thor spoke and made arrangements quickly.

"Yes!"

The three people responded quickly.

Then the entire Eagle Ridge began to take action.

Large amounts of supplies began to be mobilized.

At the same time, members of the Eagle Knights began to be selected.

This time, Thor was preparing to train his own knights, and naturally he was ready to set out with his elite troops.

According to his estimation, about two thousand people will be selected from the ten knight orders in Eagle Ridge.

For the previous Eagle Collar.

For a knight order of 2,000 people, it would be difficult to even select 2,000 reserve knights, let alone elite members.

But now, even if two thousand formal knights were selected, it would not be a big problem for the entire territory.

Over the past few years.

A large amount of resources are gathered.

Obtain a lot of gold coins.

The strength of the territory can be said to have grown by leaps and bounds.

It can be said that in Eagle Ridge today, as long as you can seize the opportunity and possess enough talent, the resources you can obtain are even more than what Thor obtained in the Dressrosa family.

After all, the annual income of Eagle Ridge at this moment is no longer comparable to that of the Dressrosa family in the past.

Even the Dressrosa family, which now occupies most of the Frost Moon Province and the entire Qinghai, cannot compare with Eagle Ridge at this moment.

More income naturally brings greater resources.

Up to now, Eagle Ridge currently has four Sky Knights besides Thor, Ryan, and Neil Morton, namely Steve, Pelos, Marshall, and Marco, and the number of Earth Knights is as high as more than 20 people. As for the number of Grand Knights, it is already counted in the hundreds. The number of formal knights is definitely over 15,000 or 16,000, and the number of apprentice knights has also reached tens of thousands.

Moreover, it can be predicted that as time goes by, as long as Eagle Ridge survives this crisis, it will be able to rise further.

After all, the massive unrest in the North led to the successive breakup of major territories and a large outflow of population.

Among them, Eagle Ridge absorbed a large population, including many knights and noble descendants.

These can grow further in the future.

In the castle.

Thor was making quick arrangements.

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, night falls again.

"Ding, the daily intelligence has been opened!"

"Do you want to open it?"

"Open!"

【Daily information has been updated! 】

New information appeared, and lines of text appeared in front of Thor. As he prepared to step into the Orc War, the relevant information in the daily intelligence had obviously changed.

Of course, this change is not the main information, but only about him.

The next day when the morning sun shone.

A large group of knights has been fully equipped.

There are more than two thousand people.

Among them, there are more than a hundred great knights, and each of them is relatively young.

The oldest one was no more than forty years old.

Not to mention on this continent, at least in the Tulip Kingdom, such talent is already extremely good.

Among them, there are even many who have the opportunity to break through the Earth Knight.

Thor couldn't help but look satisfied with this.

"Sir, there are two thousand knights in total, including ten earth knights, one hundred and twenty-three great knights, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven formal knights, including five hundred and seventy-five peak formal knights."

Marshall rode up on horseback and reported respectfully.

"Not bad!"

Thor nodded with satisfaction.

After Thor nodded, Marshall rode his horse back to the queue.

"set off!"

"Must win!"

Thor drew out the knight's sword in his hand and spoke in a low voice.

"Must win!"

One knight's sword after another was drawn out.

The uniform voice resounded through the sky.

Then a group of two thousand knights set out in a mighty procession.

Target the North.

This time, Thor can be said to have taken away the most elite forces of the entire Eagle Zero.

More than half of the power was completely drained away.

If it had happened before, there would definitely be major turmoil in the entire Eagle Ridge.

But there is no need to think about these things at the moment.

On the one hand, the nobles of the Tulip Kingdom are now mobilized.

On the other hand, all current conflicts are intertwined in the North, and according to daily intelligence, there will be no problems for at least the next three months.

And more importantly.

Although Thor left, Elvira was kept by him.

With this fifth-level magician here, his guarantee power is even stronger than that of Ryan.

There is absolutely no need to worry about any accidents.

Two thousand people came in a mighty force.

All the nobles along the way were shocked.

However, when they saw the eagle flag flying high, these nobles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Over the past few years, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has proven the "friendliness" of the Dressrosa family to all the northern nobles. In this case, there is naturally nothing to worry about.

And when Thor took action.

Throughout the Tulip Kingdom, nobles everywhere were also taking action.

The whole kingdom is called upon.

From dukes and marquises to viscounts and barons, no one had the ability to refuse.

Unless you can completely leave the kingdom.

Otherwise you must obey the call.

This large-scale conscription undoubtedly caused some unrest in the kingdom again.

But the Tulip King didn't care about these things at the moment.

These series of mishaps made him extremely anxious.

A large number of knights began to gather towards the north.
At the same time, there are a large number of war resources.

Compared to ancient China, the nobles of this era were relatively autonomous, owning their own territories and areas of jurisdiction. However, once a war broke out, it also meant that they had to prepare the resources needed for the war themselves.

It’s just like the Spring and Autumn Period in China in previous lives.

Such a result will naturally lead to further increases in prices.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Thor. Eagle Ridge has no shortage of supplies, especially when the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has developed to its current level.

When two thousand people set out.

A large amount of supplies also followed Thor and his group.

The appearance of these supplies naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.

Even some nobles had greed in their eyes.

But when they saw the huge group of knights led by Thor, these people had to give up the idea.

After all, that kind of strength is not something they can handle.
