Chapter 94 Report, the unexpected Marquis Lehman (first order required)
At this moment, the entire Northland Province is in chaos. The Knights' defense lines are being attacked everywhere. A large number of orc tribes rushed into the Northland Province, causing the entire Northland Province to be in relative chaos. The pioneering territories began to be destroyed everywhere, and a large number of pioneering lords were also fleeing.
There is no way.
Compared with the second-level orc tribes.
The human pioneering lords, except for a few powerful lords, can't compete at all.
And the destruction and escape of the pioneering lords led to more pioneering lords fleeing.
Some territories that have been built for a long time may still need to be considered, but some newly built pioneering lords have almost no hesitation.
And this undoubtedly caused a larger range of chaos.
Especially in the eyes of the Eagle Knights, it is even more so when they still choose not to intervene.
Of course, Thor and others don't know about this at the moment.
The Maine River Valley is close to the Northland Glacier and the orc tribes, which is somewhat separated from the mainstream pioneering knights' territories.
Information from the north is better, but information from the west may not be understood.
After they dealt with the Tauren and discussed the alliance.
Then they began to prepare to report the results of this battle.
As the front line of the war with the orcs, the Northern Province is enough to gain a lot of merits in the war with the orcs.
Not only can the eleven second-level Tauren gain hundreds of merits, but also defeating and defeating the orc tribe can also gain certain merits.
These need to be reported to Marquis Leiman.
Marquis Leiman will verify the entire battle situation, and will give merits after the verification is completed.
In this regard, the six pioneering lords, including Thor, are very concerned.
Soon after the alliance ended.
A battle report and the heads of the eleven second-level Tauren were taken to Loren City by Ryan.
Loren City.
In the huge and gorgeous Marquis Manor.
A man who looked only middle-aged frowned slightly, and his figure was walking back and forth.
He is the owner of this manor, the well-deserved king of the Northern Province, and one of the top nobles in the kingdom, Marquis Leiman.
As a Marquis Leiman who rose step by step from military merit and is now over 70 years old, he is actually not very satisfied with his territory. Compared with ruling the vast Northern Province, he prefers the Frost Moon Province or the South Moon Province.
After all, after decades of fighting, he is very clear about the horror of the orc tribe, which is not something that the Tulip Kingdom can deal with alone, let alone him as a new marquis.
Once the orc war breaks out.
The entire Northern Province will inevitably suffer a shock, and the loss of his territory will be unimaginable.
But the kingdom's territory had already been completely divided. In the entire kingdom, except for the Northland Province, it was impossible to allocate him a marquisate, not to mention the marquisate. Even if it was possible, no province would be willing to let him, a marquis, step in and share another piece of the pie. In this case, he had no other choice except the Northland Province. In the end, he could only accept it helplessly and hope that the orc war would not break out so early.
But no one expected that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse this year.
A large number of orcs actually attacked the entire northern direction.
Even the kingdom's Earth Dragon Knights suffered an impact.
As for his 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 Eagle Knights next to him asked Marquis Leiman with trepidation.
"I'm afraid we don't need this. The Earth Dragon Knights should have asked for help long ago."
"What's the situation?"
"Can you confirm that the Orcs are preparing to start a war?"
Marquis Leiman shook his head, and his figure stopped walking back and forth. He looked at his Knight Commander, and after a slight pause, he asked with hesitation.
"It's not certain yet."
"But it shouldn't be a war. The Behemoths haven't made any moves. Currently, only the Tauren, Werewolf, and some second- and third-level Orcs are taking action."
"But there are too many. Many third-level Orcs have been found on the east, west, and south sides, involving a large number of the Eagle Knights, so that the second-level Orcs can't be dealt with at all."
The leader of the Eagle Knights paused for a moment, shook his head, and spoke softly.
And after listening to his words, Marquis Leiman breathed a sigh of relief.
If it is really an Orc War, he may be in big trouble this time.
If not, there is still a way to deal with it.
Marquis Leiman had a headache. The orc tribe attacked the Northern Province, causing a large number of territories to be destroyed and the lords to flee. This was not a good thing for him.
Since the development of the Northern Province, fewer and fewer people are willing to become pioneer lords, especially the descendants of great nobles. After all, the casualty rate in the Northern Province is too high and the investment rate is too low. Even if they are willing to become pioneer lords, most of them are wandering knights. Wandering knights only have a few gold coins, which is incomparable to the descendants of great nobles and those lords who have already completed a certain amount of development.
Not to mention this time's impact, it can be expected that there will be fewer great nobles who want to enter the Northern Province for development in the future.
This means that he will lose a large amount of gold coin income, how can this not give him a headache.
However, he also knows that this is not the time to worry.
First, he has to make sure that the Eagle Knights will be fine, so that he can care about these things.
"I know."
"Don't worry about those for the time being!"
"You can temporarily let the Knights evacuate to Qiuye Territory to block the orcs, and call in 300 magic crystal cannons, 1,000 second-level magic cores, and 20 third-level magic cores from Loren City to Qiuye Territory."
Marquis Leiman gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Yes!"
The leader of the Eagle Knights was a little shocked, but soon a hint of joy appeared, and he quickly responded.
With this resource, the loss of the Knights will be reduced as much as possible.
"These guys must be crazy. They dare to attack human territory without the leadership of the Behemoth Clan."
Marquis Leiman couldn't help cursing.
However, while the two were talking.
A figure quickly walked over from a distance.
"My Lord Marquis!"
The figure walked over and spoke respectfully.
"What happened?"
Marquis Leiman's eyebrows jumped when he saw the visitor.
The visitor was the affairs officer of Loren City. Since he almost ignored him, the affairs officer rarely came to him.
"Lord Marquis, it is the report of the arrival of Maine Valley, which needs your personal approval."
The affairs officer of Loren City spoke respectfully.
"Maine Valley?"
"Didn't I tell them to resist as much as possible?"
Marquis Leiman had a headache and frowned as he spoke.
"Lord Marquis, this is not a request for help."
"It's a battle report."
"They, they seem to have defeated a second-level Tauren tribe, and Lord Marquis needs to verify it."
The affairs officer of Loren City listened to Marquis Leiman's words. He obviously knew that Leiman had misunderstood, and hurried to explain.
"What?"
"You said that the second-level Tauren tribe was defeated?"
Marquis Leiman was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the affairs officer of Loren City.
"Yes!"
"They also sent eleven second-level minotaur heads."
The Loren City Affairs Officer nodded and spoke again to confirm.
"It seems that those pioneer lords are still quite good!"
"Let me see!"
After being stunned, Marquis Lehman couldn't help but smile and quickly signaled the Loren City Affairs Officer to hand him the battle report.
The Loren City Affairs Officer quickly handed it over.
Marquis Lehman took the battle report.
He looked at the content.
Soon.
The smile on his face became stronger again.
The situation was even better than he had imagined.
The pioneer lords of the Maine Valley actually took the initiative to unite against the orc tribe.
Not only that, they also successfully defeated a second-level minotaur tribe of more than four thousand and killed all the second-level minotaurs.
If such news is true, it will undoubtedly give a boost to the chaotic Northern Province at the moment.
"Hahahaha!"
"Not bad, not bad!!"
"Franky, how about this, you take the kingdom inspector to the Maine Valley to verify it."
"Also prepare for the baron enthronement ceremony. It seems that our Northern Province will give birth to another baron."
Marquis Lehman chuckled.
After a few months of bad mood, this time it has improved a little.
If this battle report is true, then the situation in the entire Northern Province may change.
More importantly.
There has been no new baron in the Northern Province for more than three years.
The kingdom's requirement is that as long as a small town can be developed in the Northern Province and has no less than 5,000 people, it can be enthroned as a kingdom baron and become a new noble.
It is precisely because of this that countless knights have flocked to the Northern Province in the past 20 years.
But the result is not too good.
In the vast Northern Province, only 56 barons have been enthroned in the past 20 years.
You should know that there are probably no less than 300 viscounts in the Frost Moon Province alone, and there may even be thousands of barons. In the entire Northland Province, there have been only 56 barons in the past 20 years, and that is a total. Now there seem to be only 36 surviving barons. As for the remaining 20, you can imagine the outcome.
Especially in the past three years, with the constant turmoil in the Northland, no baron has been canonized for more than three years.
This is also the reason why fewer and fewer nobles go to the Northland Province to become pioneering lords.
If a new baron can be born in this situation, it will undoubtedly stimulate the enthusiasm of those nobles to explore again.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the kingdom, and it is also the same for Marquis Lehman.
"Yes!"
The Loren City Affairs Officer nodded and agreed directly.
Soon, Loren City took action.
One day later.
Franky, with the kingdom's inspector and a large number of people, set off towards the Maine Valley.
Maine Valley.
Thor and others received the news quickly.
Then the whole Eagle Ridge was in an uproar.
Everyone's expression was filled with joy.
Especially the knights.
Following Thor to the Northland Province to become pioneer knights, they were nervous, nervous, and hesitant at first. However, as Thor moved from one victory to another, their strength and gains were constantly improving. This kind of hesitation, nervousness, and nervousness gradually turned into expectation and yearning for the future.
However, no matter how much they expected and yearned, before Thor was canonized as a baron, it could only be yearning and expectation.
Only when Thor was canonized as a baron and gradually moved higher, it would be the time of 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 carnival.
Everyone is full of hope.
Even civilians are like this.
In the castle.
Thor got the news and couldn't help but feel excited.
It has been almost a year since he arrived in the Northland Province.
During this year, even with the help of the golden finger, only he himself knew the difficulties and hardships he had experienced.
At this moment, it was finally time to harvest.
As long as he passes the review of the kingdom's inspector, he can be canonized as a baron.
He will also obtain the status of a noble in the true sense, rather than the current temporary status of a noble.
In this world, the gap between nobles and non-nobles is almost like a chasm.
Even temporary nobles are far from real nobles.
The rights and interests they enjoy are completely different.
Not to mention other things.
Before, if he wanted to attack other noble territories and occupy them, he needed to pay a certain amount of territory purchase rights to the kingdom. Just like at this moment, those territories actually belonged to him, but they did not belong to him in name. If he was not a baron, he would still need to pay gold coins, but if he was a baron, he would not need this step and could go directly to Loren City to express ownership of these places.
In addition, there are other differences.
For example, temporary nobles can only be in the North Province. Except for the North Province, other places do not recognize them, while nobles are actually recognized even by the entire human continent.
Although this world is a kingdom system, it is more strictly an aristocratic republic system.
The nobles are the masters of this world.
The most important thing is whether or not you can become a noble.
