Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 61: The Eve of the Storm
Opper began taking action, everything in his imagination was extremely beautiful, yet he did not know that his approach was simply stupid; while Habbs Commerce Association could hire a Great Knight for protection, it was merely protection and only a hire, not a knight owned personally.
This fundamentally makes a big difference.
Once the Lawrence Territory loses the Great Knight, the consequences are almost inevitable.
This is different from the Pioneer Lord.
The Pioneer Lord, as long as he doesn’t possess a large amount of wealth and resources, generally won’t face significant problems, whereas the Baron Territory holds abundant lands and resources; losing the Great Knight and the knights’ power, these resources and lands, even with hired Great Knights, can’t be secured.
Of course, Opper doesn’t know this yet.
He is completely caught up in the excitement of soon taking over the territory.
This is the territory.
His territory.
He almost gave up hope.
But he didn’t expect to be favored by the Goddess of Life at this moment.
An unexpected pioneering war, his father and elder brother couldn’t return.
And he has a chance.
Facing this opportunity, he could hardly restrain his excitement and even wanted to send some gold coins to that Eagle Territory Lord.
Of course, this was just an idea.
On the surface, he still pretended to be angry and sad.
Quickly began to take control of the entire Lawrence Territory.
It was fortunate his father took away a lot of knights, making it not difficult for him to gain control.
Once the territory was under control, he promptly set off towards Loren City with a few knights and a large amount of gold coins.
Though a bit stupid, he knew the territory was extremely vulnerable now; if the news leaked, the entire territory would definitely perish.
After gaining control of the territory, he naturally needed to acquire a lot of power in a short time.
As for his method, as he previously said, he headed to Lawrence to hire from Habbs Commerce Association.
Three days later.
He swiftly arrived in Loren City.
Without the slightest hesitation, Opper spent two thousand gold coins to hire one Great Knight and ten Official Knights from Habbs Commerce Association.
Seven days later, Opper and his entourage returned to the territory in grand style.
With one Great Knight and ten Official Knights, Opper was undoubtedly confident.
He immediately began notifying the other two Baron Lords around him in the name of his father, Baron Pape Lawrence.
At the same time, one knight was sent to the Eagle Territory.
As for the purpose, it wasn’t to give ransom.
But to leak information.
Two days later.
Thor in the Eagle Territory came into contact with the knight sent by that fool.
"It seems your son is not as clever as you are!"
"Baron Pape!"
Thor chuckled softly, handing the letter to Baron Pape beside him.
Baron Pape, now recovered physically, had his Life Source Power suppressed.
This was done by Neil Morton at Thor’s request.
Such a small matter, Neil Morton did not decline.
So at this moment facing the Knight Envoy sent by Opper, Thor also brought him directly.
Facing Thor’s words, Pape Lawrence couldn’t help but feel a pang of dread in his heart as he knew well what kind of person his second son was, so he quickly took the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter.
"Bang!"
"Bastard!"
"Simply stupid."
Even someone with Baron Pape’s disposition couldn’t help but show a hint of anger.
Then it turned into a look of sorrow.
He was angry because he didn’t expect.
Never expected, his younger son would do such a thing.
This was simply seeking death for him and his eldest son.
Damn it, Lawrence, it was their family’s future, even with hope of breaking through to become an Earth Knight.
Sorrow because his second son could be foolish to such an extent.
Without him and the Lawrence Territory, how could they even be defended?
The Northern Province, all lords are hungry wolves.
Without strength to protect the territory, they are just a flock of lambs.
Anyone with a bit of brain would never do this; no matter what, he should ransom him back, only then can the territory be truly preserved.
"Lord Thor, this is a misunderstanding, that guy is simply stupid, this does not represent deliberations of our Lawrence Territory, if you are willing, you can first release Lawrence, I believe after Lawrence returns, he will surely give you satisfactory compensation."
Anger and sorrow spread.
But soon Baron Pape quickly suppressed them, the primary concern wasn’t this now.
He needs to consider Thor won’t get angry and kill them all, or everything would truly end then.
"Baron Pape, you know this is impossible!"
"However, I won’t do anything to you because of a fool, so during this time, Baron Pape should live well in the Eagle Territory."
Thor chuckled lightly, shaking his head.
Releasing Lawrence? What a joke, he wasn’t a fool.
As for killing Baron Pape and Lawrence? He didn’t have that intention.
First, it’s unnecessary.
Second, the two staying will be more useful.
Listening to Thor’s words, Pape’s expression couldn’t help but turn bitter.
He could already foresee what his territory’s situation would be like next, and he felt powerless against it.
His gaze deeply lingered on Thor, and then Pape stopped speaking.
Thor fell into deep thought.
The situation was the same as in daily reports.
That Opper Lawrence indeed wants to kill his father and brother.
Thus daily reports of other Pioneer Lords and Nobility launching attacks on his territory are likely to happen.
So the storm of war has actually already arrived.
Next, will be the most challenging time for the entire Eagle Territory.
He must face the united forces of other Noble Lords.
Though not as strong as Lawrence Territory, combined, this force is definitely not to be underestimated.
But once he gets through.
Or if he can defeat this Nobles’ coalition, the gains will be unprecedentedly huge.
He will become the Uncrowned King of the Maine River Valley.
No one will dare challenge his authority anymore.
If he can manage well, his forces might even extend throughout the Maine River Valley.
The entire territory’s construction will advance to another level.
His eyes glistening, his thoughts continually flowing.
He is contemplating what to do next.
And time quietly passes in such circumstances.
Opper sent knights to other two Noble Lords in the name of his father, Baron Pape Lawrence, who also arrived one after another.
Receiving this letter, the other two Noble Lords couldn’t help but be a bit dumbstruck.
