Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 115 - 103: Unicorn Tier 3, Territory Development
Night gradually descended.
A familiar notification sound rang out.
After glancing through all the intelligence reports,
Thor’s worries did not diminish much.
Instead, they grew even stronger.
When the morning sunlight spilled over,
a new day arrived. Thor first went to inspect the northern town. It was almost as Pelos reported. The entire northern town was gradually taking shape, with tall walls enclosing it, and numerous goblins were striving to build.
Outside the town were expansive farmlands.
Golden wheat spikes dotted the fields, and the growth was quite good, promising a decent harvest.
"My lord!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"My lord!"
"Master!"
"Lord!"
Along the way, knights, Free People, and slaves all respectfully saluted, and everyone’s gaze toward Thor carried fervor.
Living in the Eagle Territory was something unimaginable to them before.
It was stable, peaceful, and free here.
Full of hope.
Over a year has passed, and even some women’s bellies were slightly protruding, indicating that the Eagle Territory would soon witness the birth of a new batch of babies.
"Char, how many Free People are there currently in the Eagle Territory?"
Seemingly recalling something, Thor turned his gaze to the civil servant Char beside him.
"Lord, the Eagle Territory currently has a population of eight thousand, with eight hundred and thirty-two Free People."
Char spoke respectfully.
At this moment, his heart was also somewhat stirred.
Like Pelos, when dispatched to the Eagle Territory, Char was in despair.
But upon arriving, he was only met with astonishment.
Young Master Thor, in just a year, made the Eagle Territory no less impressive than some of the Viscount Clans in the Frost Moon Province.
The entire Eagle Territory was even more prosperous than he had imagined.
And he received delightful news.
That his descendants would have the qualification to enter the Eagle Cub Knight Order.
As long as he gained enough merit points, his descendants could join the Eagle Cub Knight Order, learn the Knight’s Breath, and have the qualification to become a glorious knight.
Although it was just a qualification,
this qualification blocked ninety-nine percent of the common people.
With the Knight’s Breathing Technique, even if they couldn’t become Official Knights, merely being an Apprentice Knight was enough for a commoner to leap social classes.
Because of this, he was extremely dedicated to Thor as Lord.
"Eight hundred and thirty-two, huh?"
"We can slightly loosen some restrictions to increase the number of Free People. Also, let’s estimate how many female slaves are needed. I’ll make a trip to Loren City in a few days to purchase them together."
Thor nodded and then mused aloud.
Although slaves were important, with goblins around, the demand wasn’t that high.
Converting some slaves into Free People for the healthy development of the territory was most crucial.
"Yes!"
"Lord, we currently need more than two hundred female slaves, considering future development. It’s best to prepare for three hundred or perhaps five hundred female slaves."
Char nodded in response, then pondered momentarily before answering.
"Five hundred? Alright, I understand!"
Thor slightly furrowed his brow but nodded in agreement.
This time, his expedition reaped considerable rewards.
Under these circumstances, buying five hundred female slaves wasn’t much.
Especially since he was planning to expand his territory’s population even further.
In his plans, the goal was for each town to reach ten to thirty thousand people, so two towns would mean at least twenty thousand.
Of course, it wouldn’t start with that many.
But currently, increasing the population of the two towns to five or six thousand isn’t an issue.
"By the way, how is the establishment of the fishery up north?"
Seemingly recalling something, Thor turned to Char to ask.
With the reservoir completed, Thor had already considered developing the aquaculture sector.
In a scenario with limited agricultural output, fishery would undoubtedly serve as a good supplement, providing a lot of quality protein with significant benefits.
Thus, before leaving, he gave the necessary instructions.
"The construction is completed!"
"In three months, the first batch of tilapia will mature, ready either for consumption or sale."
Char replied respectfully.
Upon hearing Char’s words, Thor nodded in satisfaction.
The condition of the entire territory was better than he imagined.
To date, it had essentially taken shape.
Next, the only issues were population expansion, farmland cultivation, and extensive infrastructure development.
Besides, there was only the enhancement of strength.
His current strength was already significant, but as previously mentioned, in this turbulent Northern Province, such strength was far from sufficient, needing even stronger power.
While the former was manageable, the latter wasn’t as easy.
Whether in numbers or high-end combat power, enhancement wasn’t easy.
Not everyone had the qualification to become a Knight.
Similarly, not everyone could continuously advance in Knight Cultivation.
Reine’s talent was tremendous, allowing him to break through to a Great Knight in a short time, while Steve reached the Official Knight Peak and smoothly advanced with his support. As for others, breaking through to a Great Knight was out of the question; even reaching an Official Knight wasn’t easy, and being an Apprentice Knight was difficult too.
To date, the entire Eagle Territory had only forty-three Official Knights and a hundred and thirty-two Apprentice Knights.
