Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 250 - 170: The Power of the Family (Part 2)
Brian paused for a moment, then nodded lightly.
Afterward, everyone resumed their conversation for a bit, marking the end of the meal.
Once it ended, they all bid farewell, preparing to return to rest.
Having idle time today, they must seize the chance to rest, otherwise, no one knows when those Beastmen might launch another thrust.
He watched everyone leave.
Only then did Thor murmur thoughtfully before addressing Brian.
"Brother Brian, if you have thoughts on this, it’s best to send someone to become a Pioneer Lord within a month."
Thor spoke earnestly.
"This month?"
Brian was momentarily stunned.
"Yes, exactly this month."
"There’s a territory in the West that originally belonged to the Ferren Family, but it was evacuated earlier; that place is still quite good. Brother Brian could send someone to try."
Thor nodded, without going into further detail.
Some things are difficult to explain and often it’s best to be direct because you don’t know where to start.
Listening to Thor’s words, Brian couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
He refrained from asking further.
Since Thor didn’t offer reasons, naturally, he wouldn’t forcefully inquire.
He pondered whether to proceed.
One month is too short a time.
Many preparations haven’t been made; he could at most only send his eldest son who accompanied him this time.
It might not even be possible to deploy any strength.
His forces, aside from his eldest son, belong to the Royal Family’s strength, and he does not have the authority to reassign them. He has control over them but doesn’t fully own them.
"One month is too short; I can only send Stuck alone. Even if I can support with some Gold Coins, it might be difficult."
"Can it be within three months?"
After pondering for a moment, Brian shook his head, hesitatingly asking Thor.
"Three months is too long; by then, other Nobility might have already acted."
"Brother Brian, how about this: if you wish, I can temporarily deploy twenty Official Knights from the territory to assist Stuck."
Thor shook his head, joking—three months, by then conflicts between each other would have erupted, making territorial development nearly impossible.
But from Brian’s words, he roughly understood what’s going on, pondered briefly, and gave a reply.
As a family member, Thor would try to help as much as possible.
Especially now that Brian has become an Earth Knight, Thor naturally wouldn’t mind showing goodwill, to strengthen their relationship.
"Can you really do that?"
Listening to Thor’s words, Brian’s eyes shone, instinctively speaking.
"Of course!"
"Brother Brian, if Stuck is truly set on becoming a Pioneer Lord, I’m willing to assist at any time."
Thor nodded emphatically.
"Good!"
"I’m deeply grateful."
"Thor!"
With gratitude, Brian spoke, his eyes glowing as he made his decision.
"Brother Brian, you are being too polite."
"We are brothers!"
"Are we not!"
"This is my credential; let Stuck take it to the territory, and Uncle Marshall will hand over twenty Official Knights to him."
Thor laughed and shook his head, handing his Noble Badge to Brian.
"Yes, we are brothers."
Brian quickly nodded, a firm resolution in his heart—this time, he’s prepared to let Thor earn his due merits.
Of course, such words are unnecessary to spell out.
Later, Brian summoned his eldest son, Stuck.
The three began to converse.
Primarily, Brian asked, Thor answered, while Stuck listened intently beside them.
Once Brian decided to make Stuck a Pioneer Knight, Thor began to describe the current situation in the Northern Province, along with matters they need to face next.
These things need to be clearly explained.
It’s also allowing Brian to make the final consideration.
Listening to Thor’s depiction, even Brian felt a leap in his brow.
Stuck’s heart pounded intensely.
Staring in shock at Thor.
Neither Brian nor Stuck expected that Thor would be so daring.
Bold enough to forcibly annex the territories of those powerful Lords.
The most crucial issue is that Thor even gambles on the Divine Revelation.
"Thor, this.....!"
Brian couldn’t help but speak out.
"Brother Brian, you mean is it too risky."
"Brother Brian, you should know, if I can discover this, the Kingdom certainly can too, and the probability of a Divine Revelation is not high."
Thor spoke with a smile, his demeanor still composed.
"I’m not referring to that!"
"Thor, the matter of Divine Revelation is indeed manageable; in fact, the Kingdom learned about it months ago, and probably, as you said, it won’t erupt."
"But have you thought about it? With our family’s strength, we can’t swallow so many territories."
Brian shook his head, speaking softly.
Being a Court Noble, and thanks to his instructor, he knows much more than average nobility.
Very aware of the Kingdom’s might.
Other Nobility may worry about Divine Revelation, but he’s not too concerned.
His brow leapt due to Thor’s audacity.
To dare seize the opportunity of Divine Revelation and forcibly annex those powerful Lords’ territories.
Almost bordering on insanity.
If Divine Revelation doesn’t erupt.
The whirlwind raging afterward that Thor will face is almost unimaginable.
Forget the Dressrosa Family, even the Assad Family might not withstand it.
The gap between Count’s Clan and Marquis Family is not trivial.
Especially with powerful Marquis families like Campbell and Spencer.
These families truly have Sky Knights.
At this moment, Brian didn’t even know how to describe it.
"Indeed, for the previous Dressrosa Family, it would be tough to sustain swallowing these."
"But that was before."
Facing Brian’s ups and downs, and silence, Thor naturally understood what the other party wanted and smiled unwittingly as he spoke.
"Before?"
Brian paused for a moment, instinctively speaking.
Stuck’s expression also carried a hint of confusion.
"Yes, before; Brother Brian you might not know yet, my father broke through to a Sky Knight a few months ago."
"The current Dressrosa Family might not fear Campbell and Spencer."
Thor chuckled lightly.
But the statement caused Brian and Stuck to instantly widen their eyes.
"Thor, am I dreaming? Uncle Engel, he actually broke through."
Upon hearing Thor’s words, Brian couldn’t help but stand up, his eyes filled with excitement along with a trembling inquiry.
"Brother Brian, this is no dream."
"Moreover, not only has Father broken through, but Uncle Marshall is also on the verge of breaking through to an Earth Knight."
"He might have already broken through."
Thor nodded with a smile; he naturally anticipated their reactions, having already witnessed this in the West.
(Transition, tomorrow begins the Divine Revelation)
