Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 536 - 313: Marquis Engle: Has the Spencer Family Lost Their Minds??_2

Steve took a deep breath, speaking with a sense of impact.

"Indeed, however, this is not an issue."

"I intend for you to see if, at such a scale, the construction of the Knight Order can get on track within three years!"

Thor nodded, then spoke in a deep voice.

"In three years, the preliminary construction should be completed!"

"But to see results, my lord may need five, or even ten years."

Steve nodded slightly after taking a deep breath.

"That’ll do!"

"Take this and study it thoroughly. I’ll have Joseph coordinate with you."

Thor nodded slightly.

Being aware that it might take five or even ten years to see results was indeed within his expectations.

After all, Knight’s Training isn’t easy, even within the Dressrosa Castle, with such vast resources, it’s not uncommon for Dressrosa descendants to be unable to gather a Life Seed before the age of eighteen, let alone selecting among a large populance, which makes it even more difficult.

Ultimately, in this world, Knight’s Training can depend on talent, which more often than not is related to lineage.

If your lineage is noble, your talent will naturally be higher.

If ordinary lineage, the probability of high talent is undoubtedly much lower, unless some top existence appeared in ancestry.

Yet, Thor doesn’t need to expect everyone; he has schools that can effectively filter candidates. As long as the base is large enough, some geniuses will inevitably appear, and he only needs to expand the cultivation of these geniuses.

"Yes!"

Steve responded respectfully, then took the contents Thor had written and withdrew slowly.

"The Merit System needs some adjustments as well!"

Thor murmured, his thoughts inevitably drifting into contemplation.

With the expansion of the territory, the previously defined Merit System clearly posed some problems.

The simplest overlap is between the Free People, Slaves, and Knights’ Merit System, which is actually not conducive for management and statistics.

Thinking of this, Thor immediately sat down again, picking up the quill.

During this period, he is preparing to revise the merit points system.

First, he wants to separate the merit points of the Knights, Free People, and Slaves.

Moreover, the difficulty of obtaining merit points can be reduced whenever possible.

In this way, it can further accelerate the development of the entire territory.

However, perfecting the entire Merit System is by no means easy, particularly since the scope of the territory today is no longer comparable to the past.

After several days of improvement,

Thor gathered a large number of civil servants to begin unified discussions and planning.

With Thor’s return, the development of the entire territory has undoubtedly stepped up another notch.

First is the large amount of materials Thor brought from the Royal Capital, boosting the development of all places within the Eagle Territory.

Next is territorial planning and construction.

By incorporating such a vast range into the lands, it can be predicted that in the next two to three years, the most important task in the Eagle Ridge is construction.

And construction undoubtedly represents more opportunities for Slaves, Free People, and even Knights to earn merits.

In Thor’s territory, not only Free People and Slaves, but even Knights must participate in construction.

With ample merit point subsidies, one Knight after another will have no reluctance.

Especially with this time a large amount of supplies from the Kingdom, allowing Eagle Ridge Knights to exchange more materials, it only further confirms this.

Half a month later.

As Thor’s Merit System outline was just being established, the first batch of population transported by Marquis Engle had already arrived at Eagle Ridge, numbering over thirty thousand. There will be three more batches transported by Marquis Engle, but it will take time.

It’s estimated that about one year will be needed to complete.

With this first batch of population, Thor’s construction speed can undoubtedly accelerate another level.

At least, those few resource points can be developed in the first batch.

Of course, Thor doesn’t need to arrange these himself; with the cooperation of Joseph and numerous civil servants, it can be completed effortlessly.

Moreover, this time Marquis Engle sent over twenty additional civil servants, which is more than enough.

Time slowly passed, Eagle Ridge thrived in activity.

Vast amounts of materials and gold coins were spent generously.

Thor even had to, a month later, exchange more than fifty thousand merit point materials through the Kingdom’s channels to meet the construction needs.

Such vast resources being spent allowed the speed and scale of the territory’s construction to reach unimaginable levels.

Thor was not constructing by the scale of a Count’s territory, but nearly resembling that of a Marquis’s territory, and not just any Marquis’s territory, at least a powerful Marquis’s territory scale.

At this moment, it’s not just Eagle Ridge experiencing great development.

Returning to Northern Province, each noble of the Eagle Merchant Association also began large-scale construction projects.

The entire Northern Province was quietly undergoing change.

The Frost Moon Province was similarly undergoing transformation.

Originally, Marquis Engle’s upgrade posed a significant problem for the Dressrosa Family due to territorial range.

Unless choosing from the Northern Province or Nanyue Province borders, it was difficult to find sufficient space for a Marquis’s territory within Tulip Kingdom.

However, the Kingdom War dealt heavy losses to the Tulip Kingdom Nobility.

This kind of heavy loss has already become evident in the Royal Capital and even more so in various provinces.

Half the great Nobility of Frost Moon Province were wiped out, and Xiyue Province was thoroughly purged from start to end.

More fortunately, the last forces of the Spencer Family attacking Thor were completely wiped out, creating a vacuum in the eastern region of Xiyue Province, leaving the Spencer Family unable to control such a large area.

Adding to this the western region of Frost Moon Province, the Dressrosa Family suddenly found itself with adequate space.

During this period, Marquis Engle had been busy with the scope of his territory.

Inside Dressrosa Castle.

"What about the Spencer Family?"

Marquis Engle spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Michael.

"The Spencer Family agreed to cede three hundred miles of territory within the Qinghai Lake area in the west, but they’re demanding we no longer pursue past matters and pay either one million gold coins or a bottle of High-Level Life Potion."

Michael spoke.

"What?"

Upon hearing Michael’s words, Marquis Engle was stunned, thinking he heard wrong, and instinctively inquired.

"Yes, my lord, this is the response from the Spencer Family."

Michael nodded, a smile on his face.

"They’re mad, aren’t they?"

Marquis Engle’s eyes showed a hint of coldness.

He truly hadn’t expected, under these circumstances, for the Spencer Family to make such a decision.

One million gold coins, one bottle of High-Level Life Potion—truly insane.

All the Sky Knights were lost, and their elite forces suffered heavy casualties, yet they dared act this way. He simply couldn’t imagine what was going through their minds.

Otherwise, Marquis Engle couldn’t understand their behavior and requests now.
