Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 92 - 91: Reporting In, the Unexpected Marquis Reman
This means he will lose a substantial amount of gold income, how can this not give him a headache.
However, he also knows that now is not the time to get a headache.
First, he must ensure that the Flying Eagle Knight Order is safe, before he can consider these matters.
"I understand."
"Those matters can be put aside for now!"
"We can temporarily withdraw the Knight Order to Qiuye Territory to block the Beastmen, and additionally, mobilize three hundred magic crystal cannons, one thousand Tier Two Demon Cores, and twenty Tier Three Demon Cores from Loren City to Qiuye Territory."
Marquis Reman gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Yes!"
The leader of the Flying Eagle Knight Order was a bit shocked, but soon a hint of joy appeared and he quickly responded.
With these resources, the losses of the Knight Order will be minimized as much as possible.
"These guys must be crazy, daring to attack human territory without the leadership of the Behemoth Race."
Marquis Reman couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
However, during the conversation between the two.
A figure quickly approached from a distance.
"Marquis!"
The figure approached, speaking respectfully.
"What happened?"
Marquis Reman looked at the newcomer, his brow involuntarily twitching.
The newcomer was a civil servant from Loren City, and because he was usually disregarded, the civil servant rarely came to him.
"My lord, it’s information from the Maine River Valley that requires your personal approval."
The Loren City civil servant spoke respectfully.
"Maine River Valley?"
"Didn’t I say to hold the line as best they can?"
Marquis Reman felt a bit of a headache, frowning as he spoke.
"My lord, this is not a request for aid."
"It’s a battle report."
"They seem to have defeated a Tier Two Minotaur Tribe, and require your verification."
Hearing Marquis Reman’s words, the Loren City civil servant quickly explained, knowing that Reman had misunderstood.
"What?"
"Did you say they defeated a Tier Two Minotaur Tribe?"
Marquis Reman was stunned, turning his head to look at the Loren City civil servant.
"Yes!"
"They also sent over eleven Tier Two Minotaur heads."
The Loren City civil servant nodded, confirming once more.
"It seems those Pioneer Lords are not bad!"
"Let me take a look!"
After being stunned, Marquis Reman then smiled, quickly indicating for the Loren City civil servant to hand over the battle report.
The Loren City civil servant quickly handed it over.
Marquis Reman took the battle report.
His gaze fell onto its contents.
Soon.
The smile on his face became even brighter.
The situation was better than he imagined.
The Pioneer Lords of Maine River Valley had actually proactively united to fight against the Beastman Tribe.
Not only that, they had successfully defeated a Tier Two Minotaur Tribe of over four thousand, killing all the Tier Two Minotaurs.
If this news is true, it would undoubtedly serve as a morale booster for the currently chaotic Northern Province.
"Hahahaha!"
"Not bad, not bad!!"
"Franky, here’s what we’ll do, take the Kingdom Inspector to Maine River Valley to verify the report."
"Also, prepare for the baron’s ennoblement ceremony, it looks like our Northern Province will have a new baron soon."
Marquis Reman chuckled softly.
After months of frustration, he felt a slight improvement this time around.
If this battle report proves true, the situation in the entire Northern Province might change.
More importantly.
The Northern Province hasn’t seen a new baron in over three years.
The kingdom’s requirement is that as long as a small town is built in the Northern Province, housing no less than five thousand people, one can be ennobled as a Baron of the Kingdom, becoming part of the new nobility.
Because of this, countless knights have flocked to the Northern Province over the past twenty years.
But the results weren’t particularly favorable.
Despite the vastness of the Northern Province, only fifty-six barons have been ennobled in the past twenty years.
Consider that the Viscounts of the Frost Moon Province likely number no less than three hundred, with barons possibly reaching a thousand, while the entire Northern Province has only had fifty-six barons in twenty years, and only thirty-six remain today, leaving twenty whose fates can be imagined.
Especially in the past three years, as the Northern Province grows increasingly unstable, not a single new baron has been ennobled.
This is also why fewer and fewer major nobles are venturing into the Northern Province to become Pioneer Lords.
If in such circumstances, a new baron emerges, it will undoubtedly rekindle the enthusiasm of those nobles for exploration.
For the kingdom, this is undoubtedly a good thing, and for Marquis Reman, it is equally so.
"Yes!"
The Loren City civil servant nodded and agreed immediately.
Quickly, action was taken in Loren City.
A day later.
Franky, accompanied by a Kingdom Inspector and a large entourage, set off in a grand procession towards the Maine River Valley.
Maine River Valley.
Thor and the others quickly received the news.
The whole of Eagle Ridge couldn’t help but boil with excitement.
Everyone’s face carried a touch of joy.
Especially the knights.
Following Thor to the Northern Province as Pioneer Knights, they were initially anxious, tense, and also lost. But as Thor moved from one victory to another, their strength and rewards continued to grow, and this confusion, anxiety, and tension gradually turned into anticipation, into a yearning for the future.
However, no matter the anticipation, the yearning, until Thor is ennobled as a baron, this will remain just yearning and anticipation.
Only when Thor is ennobled as a baron and gradually ascends higher will it truly be time to reap the rewards.
After all, this means they too will have hope of becoming nobility.
And this is the aspiration of countless knights.
Eagle Ridge was in a frenzy.
Everyone was filled with hope.
Even the commoners felt the same.
Within the castle.
Thor received the news, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
It had been almost a year since arriving in the Northern Province.
During this year, even with the help of the Golden Finger, only he knew the hardships and difficulties he endured.
This moment had finally come to reap the rewards.
As long as he passed the Kingdom Inspector’s audit, he could be ennobled as a baron.
He would also truly obtain the status of nobility in a meaningful way, rather than the temporary noble status he currently held.
In this world, the difference between nobility and non-nobility is practically vast.
Even the gap between temporary and true nobility is significant.
The rights and privileges enjoyed are completely different.
Not to mention other aspects.
Previously if he wanted to attack and seize territories from other nobles, he needed to pay the kingdom a certain territorial purchase fee, like now, though these territories are effectively his, they are not nominally so. If he isn’t a baron, he still needs to pay in gold coins, but if he becomes a baron, that step is unnecessary, he can directly claim ownership of these places at Loren City.
Additionally, there are differences in other areas as well.
For example, temporary nobles are only recognized in the Northern Province, whereas beyond the Northern Province, in other places, they are not acknowledged. However, genuine nobility is recognized across the Human Race Continent.
While the world operates under a kingdom system, it is more accurately a noble republic system.
Nobility is the ruler of this world.
The ability to become nobility is the most important existence.
