Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 83: Mighty Strength

"Gentlemen, this time we certainly have a chance. It’s merely a Minotaur tribe that lost a tribal war. Even if the Minotaur numbers have been restored, those spawned by Secret Techniques cannot compare to real Minotaurs. With the combined strength of our three houses, we can naturally withstand them."

"Moreover, don’t forget, in wars against Beastmen, one can earn merit and elevate their title. This is much simpler compared to Kingdom Wars and Beastman Wars. If we give up now, how will we face the upcoming Kingdom War and Beastman War next time?"

"Unless you three want to give up becoming nobility and return to being Wandering Knights."

Thor’s voice sounded, not very loud, yet upon hearing him, the three didn’t know how to respond.

Beastman Wars aside, no one knows when the next one will occur, but Kingdom Wars are different. They erupt every hundred years, determining the boundaries and strength of each Kingdom, a reality that no nobility can escape.

This time, we can leave, but there’s no escaping Kingdom War.

This is a compulsory existence for the nobility.

And those without the strength to participate in Kingdom Wars will have their titles stripped.

This means the Baron status they’ve struggled to attain will be lost again.

This is something they can hardly tolerate.

"Lord Thor, if we can withstand this disaster, then I, Pape Lawrence, will fully follow your orders."

Pape Lawrence spoke solemnly.

"Lord Thor, my Valmy Territory is the same!"

"Lord Thor!"

Baron Valmy and Baron Gladon also stood and spoke with solemnity.

"My three Barons, you are too kind!"

"However, we indeed need to handle this together this time!!"

"How about this, my three Barons, can you gather all the Knights together?"

Seeing their expressions, Thor couldn’t help but smile, then after pondering slightly, he slowly spoke.

"This!"

Hearing Thor’s words, the three hesitated a bit.

But only for a moment.

Pape Lawrence still nodded and agreed.

"Alright, Lord Thor, I’ll gather all the Knights as soon as I return!"

With these words, Pape Lawrence made his decision.

Even though there’s a risk, at this moment, he had no choice but to proceed.

And with Pape Lawrence making a decision.

After all, if Thor truly intended to do something, he would’ve done it in the previous war.

There was no need to wait until now.

And as Pape Lawrence agreed, the other two exchanged a glance and also nodded in agreement.

To persevere till now.

They naturally don’t want to give up. Even if there’s just a sliver of hope, they want to strive for it.

And with the three’s agreement.

Everything was much easier to discuss next.

The four then continued to discuss some matters.

The three quickly took their leave.

Watching the three leave, Thor also began preparing the final touches.

The final touches weren’t about contacting other Pioneer Lords, as compared to the three Baron Lords, the strength of other lords was limited. Moreover, he didn’t doubt that the other Pioneer Lords in the Maine River Valley had mostly fled by now, and there might not be many left.

Time was running out.

Comparatively, he might as well first check his own strength and Anna’s strength this time.

The existence of the Symbiotic Contract.

Allowed both their strengths to undergo transformation.

Anna was like this, and he was the same.

At this moment, he was eager to know the extent of his current strength, and if it could contend with a Great Knight.

While the three were taking action.

Thor found Steve and Pelos.

One tested Anna’s strength, and naturally, the other tested his own strength.

On the training field.

The two stood.

"My lord, this?"

Pelos hesitated a bit, and was also somewhat nervous.

He hadn’t expected the Lord to suddenly say today that he would spar to test his own strength.

Though he was shocked that the Lord had reached the Official Knight status in such a short time, he was, after all, a Great Knight. Sparring with the Lord, he was somewhat worried.

"No worries!"

"It’s just a test."

Thor said with a smile.

He didn’t seem overly concerned.

At this moment, even though he was only at the Official Knight Peak, with the boost of Ice Elemental Life Source Power, he felt he was beyond an Official Knight.

"Alright!"

"My lord, be careful!"

Pelos took a deep breath and finally nodded.

Then his Life Source Power surged, attacking Thor.

Thor’s eyes released a cold aura, and the chilling Life Source Power on his body surged as well. Even a faint white mist appeared on his Knight’s Sword. The next moment, his figure moved, charging towards Pelos.

"Boom!"

Two Greatswords clashed in mid-air.

A powerful Life Source Power erupted.

Pelos’s Great Knight Life Source Power was undoubtedly vast, almost instantly overwhelming Thor’s Life Source Power.

Forcing Thor back.

Yet the chilling breath extended from Thor’s Greatsword, spreading the ice toward Pelos’s Greatsword and even reaching Pelos’s Life Source Power.

"What is this?"

Pelos’s expression changed, and he quickly retreated.

Yet the chilling breath spread, layers of ice emanated from him.

The exhaled heat was rapidly frozen.

The body became rigid.

"Not good!"

Pelos’s face changed.

Years of combat experience sensed something amiss at that moment.

And just as the thought arose.

"Watch out!"

Thor chuckled lightly, and the next moment his figure moved, suddenly appearing in the air, striking once again.

Cold aura spread.

Life Source Power surged.

Pelos wanted to dodge.

But it was too late, he could only raise his Knight’s Sword to block again.

"Boom!"

The Greatswords clashed again.

Life Source Power collided once more.

But this time it was even more intense.

On the Knight’s Sword, the cold aura instantly turned to ice, spreading from his Greatsword to his body.

"Clang!"

The Knight’s Sword fell.

Pelos hurriedly retreated.

Yet a streak of cold aura landed on his shoulder.

"You lost!"

Thor’s amused voice sounded, his expression betraying a hint of joy.

"My lord, you!"

Feeling the chill at his neck, Pelos wore a bitter smile mixed with amazement.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

But at that instant.

"Boom!"

A terrifying cold aura suddenly erupted in the distance.

The next moment, far away, layers of ice rapidly spread, and before the eye, over a hundred meters ahead were instantly covered in white mist entirely.
