Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 94 Report, the unexpected Marquis Lehman (please order first)

At this moment, the entire Northland Province is in chaos. The defense lines of the Knights are being attacked everywhere. A large number of orc tribes have rushed into the Northland Province, causing the entire Northland Province to be in relative chaos. The pioneering territories began to collapse, and at the same time a large number of pioneering lords were fleeing.

no way.

Compared to the second-level orc tribe.

The human race's pioneering lords, except for a few powerful lords, are simply unable to compete.

The destruction and escape of one pioneer lord led to more pioneer lords starting to flee.

Some territories that have been under construction for a long time may need to be considered, but some pioneer lords who have just built them have almost no hesitation.

And this will undoubtedly cause confusion on a larger scale.

This is especially true when the Eagle Knights still did not choose to intervene in the eyes.

Of course, Thor and others did not know this at this moment.

The Maine River Valley is located close to the Northland Glacier and close to the orc tribe, so it is somewhat separated from the mainstream pioneering knight territory.

The information in the north is relatively good, but the information in the west may not be understandable.

And after they solved the tauren and discussed the alliance.

Immediately, preparations began to report the results of this victory.

The Northland Province is the front line in the war against the orcs, and the war against the orcs is enough to gain a lot of merit.

Not only can the eleven second-level tauren earn hundreds of merit points, but also defeating orc tribes can also earn certain merit points.

These need to be reported to Marquis Lehman.

Marquis Lehman will verify the entire battle situation. If the verification is completed, merit will be awarded.

The six pioneer lords, including Thor, were extremely concerned about this.

Soon after the alliance ended.

A battle report and the heads of eleven second-level tauren were taken to Loren City by Renn.

Loren City.

In the huge and gorgeous Marquis Manor.

A man who looked no older than middle-aged frowned slightly and moved back and forth.

He is the owner of this manor, the well-deserved king of the Northland Province, and one of the top nobles in the kingdom, Marquis Lehman.

Marquis Lehman, who has risen step by step from military success and is now over 70 years old, is actually not very satisfied with his territory. Compared with the vast Northland Province, he prefers Frost Moon Province. Or Nanyue Province.

After all, after decades of fighting, he knew very well the terror of the orc tribe, which was not something that the Tulip Kingdom could handle alone, let alone a new Marquis like him.

Once the orc war breaks out.

The entire Northland province will inevitably suffer impact, and the loss of his territory will be unimaginable.

But the territory of the kingdom has long been completely divided. The entire kingdom, except for the Northland Province, can no longer divide a marquis territory for him, let alone a marquis territory. Even an earl territory is difficult for the entire Tulip Kingdom. A piece of land has been divided. Even if it is possible, no province is willing to let him, the Marquis, step in and get a share of the pie. In this case, he has no other choice except the Northland Province, and in the end he has no choice but to accept it. , hoping that the orc war will not break out so early.

But no one expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse this year.

A large number of orcs actually attacked the entire northern direction.

Even the Kingdom's Earth Dragon Knights were affected.

As for his Flying Eagle Knights, even in less than three months, the losses were extremely heavy.

"My lord, do we need to ask the kingdom for help?"

The leader of the Flying Eagle Knights next to him asked Marquis Lehman with a sense of anxiety.

"I'm afraid we won't be needed for this. The Earth Dragon Knights should have already asked for help."

"What's the situation?"

"Is it certain that the orc tribe is preparing to launch a war?"

Marquis Lehman shook his head, stopped walking back and forth, looked at his knight commander, pondered for a moment, and then asked with hesitation.

"There's no way of knowing for sure yet."

"But it shouldn't be a war. The Beamon clan has not taken any action. Currently, the only ones taking action are tauren, werewolves, and some second- and third-level orc tribes."

"But there are too many. There are many third-level orc tribes found on the east, west, and south sides, involving a large amount of the power of the Flying Eagle Knights, so that there is no way to solve the second-level orc tribes."

The leader of the Flying Eagle Knights pondered for a moment, then shook his head and spoke softly.

After listening to his words, Marquis Lehman breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were really an orc war, he might be in really big trouble this time.

If not, there are ways to deal with it.

Marquis Lehman has a headache. The orc tribe's attack on the Northland Province has led to the destruction of a large number of territories and the flight of lords. This is not a good thing for him.

Now that the Northland Province has been developed, there are fewer and fewer people willing to become pioneer lords, especially the heirs of the great nobles. After all, the casualty rate in the Northland Province is too high and the investment rate is too low. Even if they are willing Most of the people who became pioneer lords were wandering knights. Wandering knights only had a few gold coins, which was incomparable to the heirs of great nobles and those lords who had already completed a certain amount of pioneering.

Not to mention this time's impact, it can be expected that there will be fewer big nobles who want to enter the Northland Province to develop.

This means that he will lose a large amount of gold coin income, how can this not give him a headache.

But he also knew that now was not the time to have a headache.

First, he had to make sure nothing happened to the Flying Eagle Knights before he could think about it.

"I see."

"Ignore those for now!"

"The knights can be temporarily evacuated to the Autumn Leaf Territory to stop the orcs. In addition, three hundred magic crystal cannons, one thousand second-order magic cores, and twenty third-order magic cores can be mobilized from Loren City to the Autumn Leaf Territory. .”

Marquis Lehman gritted his teeth and made his decision immediately.

"Yes!"

The leader of the Flying Eagle Knights was a little shocked, but he soon became happy and responded quickly.

With this resource, the Knights' losses will be reduced as much as possible.

"These guys must be crazy. Without the leadership of the Beamon clan, they dare to attack human territory."

Marquis Lehman couldn't help but curse secretly.

But during the conversation between the two of them.

A figure in the distance walked over quickly.

"Your Majesty the Marquis!"

The figure came over and spoke respectfully.

"what happened?"

Marquis Lehman's brows jumped as he looked at the visitor.

The person who came was the affairs officer of Loren City. Since he was almost ignored, the affairs officer rarely came to him.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis, the reported information about the arrival of the Maine Valley requires your personal approval."

The Loren City affairs officer spoke respectfully.

"Maine Valley?"

"Didn't I say, let them resist as much as possible."

Marquis Lehman had a headache, and then he frowned and spoke.

"Lord Marquis, this is not a request for help."

"It's a battle report." "He, he seems to have defeated a second-level tauren tribe. The Marquis needs to verify it."

The Loren City Affairs Officer listened to Marquis Lehman's words. He obviously knew that Lehman had misunderstood, and he quickly explained.

"what?"

"You said you defeated the second-order tauren tribe?"

Marquis Lehman was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the Loren City Affairs Officer.

"Yes!"

"They also sent eleven second-level tauren heads."

The Loren City Affairs Officer nodded and spoke again with confidence.

"It seems that those pioneering lords are quite good!"

"show me!"

After Marquis Lehman was stunned, he couldn't help but smile and quickly signaled the Loren City Affairs Officer to hand over the battle report to him.

The Loren City Affairs Officer quickly handed it over.

Marquis Lehman received the battle report.

Look at the contents.

soon.

The smile on his face became stronger again.

The situation was even better than he imagined.

The pioneer lords of the Maine Valley took the initiative to unite against the orc tribe.

Not only that, they also successfully defeated a second-level tauren tribe of more than 4,000 and killed all the second-level tauren.

If such news is true, it will undoubtedly give the Northland Province, which is currently in chaos, a shot in the arm.

"Hahahaha!"

"Not bad!!"

"Franky, let's do this. You take the kingdom's inspector to the Maine Valley to verify it."

"In addition, prepare for the baron canonization ceremony. It seems that our Northland Province will give birth to a baron again."

Marquis Lehman chuckled.

The bad mood I had been feeling for the past few months has improved a little this time.

If the battle report this time is true, then the situation in the entire Northland Province may be changed.

more importantly.

There has been no new baron born in the Northland Province for more than three years.

The kingdom's requirement is that as long as a small town can be developed in the Northland Province and has no less than 5,000 people, it can be canonized as a baron of the kingdom and become an emerging noble.

Because of this, countless knights have flocked to the Northland Province in the past twenty years.

But the result was not too good.

In the vast Northland Province, only fifty-six barons have been canonized in the past twenty years.

You must know that the number of viscounts in Frost Moon Province alone is probably no less than three hundred, and the number of barons may even reach thousands. However, the entire Northland Province has only had fifty-six barons in the past twenty years, and that's a total of them. It seems that there are only thirty-six barons. As for the remaining twenty, one can imagine the outcome.

Especially in the past three years, with the continuous turmoil in the Northland, no baron has been canonized for more than three years.

This is also the reason why fewer and fewer nobles are going to the Northland Province to become pioneer lords.

If a new baron could be born under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly stimulate the enthusiasm of those nobles for pioneering again.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the kingdom, and it is also a good thing for him, Marquis Lehman.

"Yes!"

The Loren City Affairs Officer nodded and agreed directly.

Soon, Loren City began to act quickly.

after one day.

Franky, with the kingdom's inspectors and a large number of people, set off toward the Maine River Valley.

Maine River Valley.

Thor and others quickly received the news.

Immediately, the entire Xiongying Ridge couldn't help but boil.

Everyone's expressions were filled with joy.

Especially those knights.

Following Thor to the Northland Province to become pioneer knights, they were uneasy, nervous, and also hesitant at first. But as Thor went from one victory to another, their strength and gains were all there. As we continue to improve, this kind of hesitation, anxiety, and tension gradually turn into expectations and yearning for the future.

However, no matter how much we look forward to and yearn for, until Thor canonize him as a baron, this can only be yearning and expectation.

Only when Thor is canonized as a baron and gradually moves higher is the real harvest.

After all, this means that they will also have the hope of becoming nobles.

And this is the existence that countless knights dream of.

Eagle Ridge is partying.

Everyone is full of hope.

This is true even for civilians.

In the castle.

Thor couldn't help but feel excited when he got the news.

It has been almost a year since I arrived in the Northland Province.

In this year, even with the help of Golden Finger, only he knew the hardships and hardships he experienced.

This moment has finally arrived at harvest time.

As long as he passes the review of the kingdom's censor, he can be canonized as a baron.

He will also gain the status of a noble in a real sense, rather than the temporary noble status that he has now.

In this world, the gap between aristocrats and non-aristocratic people is almost as vast as the sky.

There is a huge gap between even temporary nobles and real nobles.

The rights enjoyed are completely different.

Don't say anything else.

In the past, if he attacked other noble territories and wanted to occupy them, he would need to pay the kingdom for a certain amount of territory purchase rights. Just like at this moment, although those territories actually belong to him, they do not belong to him in name. If he did not A baron still needs to pay gold coins, but if he is a baron, he does not need to take this step. He can directly go to Loren City to express ownership of these places.

In addition, there are other differences in various aspects.

For example, temporary nobles can only be found in the Northland Province, and are not recognized by other places except the Northland Province. However, the nobles are actually recognized by even the entire human continent.

Although this world has a kingdom system, in a more strict sense it is an aristocratic republic system.

Nobles are the rulers of this world.

Whether you can become a noble or not is the most important thing.
