Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 299 - 195: Countermeasures, Crisis Approaching?
Michael’s voice slowly began, and while listening to this narration, Thor’s expression involuntarily took on a bit of solemnness.
Indeed, just as Michael said.
No matter how powerful he was, these strong noble descendants coming one after another would surely lead him to be exhausted from running around.
Moreover, he thought of something else. When someone discovered there was profit to be made, it wouldn’t just be those powerful noble descendants he had tricked; those pioneer lords around him would likely not mind playing the role of bandits a few times.
If things went out of control, he would become the coveted prize of the entire Northern Province.
As for his consideration, with at least one Great Knight guarding each place, generally, there should indeed be no problem.
But that is only under general circumstances, not including this one.
"Uncle Michael, what should I do?"
Taking a deep breath to gradually calm his tumultuous heart, Thor looked again towards Michael, words carrying a touch of solemn inquiry.
"Young Master Thor, to avoid this, you must quickly show your strength, on one hand, completely destroy the confidence of those powerful nobles, and on the other hand, deter other pioneer lords."
Hearing Thor’s inquiry, Michael nodded slightly, then spoke in a deep voice.
"Show my strength?"
Thor was a bit confused and instinctively asked once more.
"Yes, you need to show your strength!"
"Those powerful nobles will certainly have ideas initially, but the possibility of them uniting is not high. Young Master Thor, what you need to do is quickly obliterate one or several, make everyone fear your strength, and then make them unite voluntarily."
"Once united, Young Master Thor can completely crush them."
"As long as you achieve this, none of these problems are really problems."
Michael nodded, then slowly explained.
Listening to Michael’s explanation, Thor roughly understood Michael’s method. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The method is very simple.
It is to first instill fear, make them unite voluntarily, and then use absolute strength to destroy them.
Just as Michael said, as long as it’s achievable, ninety-nine percent of the problems will be completely erased.
It might even be enough to establish his position in the Northern Province at once.
Of course, the risks under such gains are also significant.
The entire Northern Province, this time occupied by him, has many strong noble descendants, and the loss exceeds several million gold coins.
Such enormous value, those people will definitely fight desperately.
Once united, their strength is not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Thor couldn’t help but fall into a slight contemplation.
Although this is an idea proposed by Michael, Thor naturally couldn’t completely stop thinking about it.
Michael and Chesire did not disturb him.
Instead, they waited quietly.
"Uncle Michael, such a method is indeed feasible, but how should I choose? I can’t just rashly attack one family."
"In the Kingdom, even here in the Northern Province, that’s not a wise choice."
Lightly tapping the table with his right hand, Thor stopped after a moment, his gaze turned to Michael with a serious tone.
In the Kingdom, even in the Northern Province, there is basic order.
Although a rash attack may not have much problem at the moment, it will inevitably affect future developments, which would not be beneficial for Thor’s upcoming ventures.
He had to feel some worry.
"Young Master Thor, that’s indeed unwise."
"But what if the large iron ore deposit where you are discovers a large output of refined gold!"
Faced with Thor’s inquiry, before Michael could speak, Chesire started to speak.
What he said made Thor’s brow involuntarily twitch.
The price of refined gold is incredibly expensive, and its production conditions are extremely demanding. Generally, only within super large iron ore deposits is it ever possible to produce, and it’s merely possible, not guaranteed.
Its role is not only as one of the main materials for Golden Armor but also as a central component of various magic artifacts.
A portion sufficient to create the main material refined gold for Golden Armor, even the raw material is not inferior to a bottle of Intermediate Life Potion.
Just like Secret Silver Iron, refined gold can also be continuously produced.
Generally, a large iron ore deposit with Secret Silver Iron increases its value ten times over, and with refined gold, the value undeniably steps up another level.
Even some Marquis families may not be able to contain themselves, let alone strong noble descendants.
What will happen requires no further explanation.
As long as it happens, everything just mentioned will follow the established track.
The only issue is whether his strength is truly sufficient.
"Whew!"
"I understand now!"
"Thank you, Uncle Michael, Uncle Chesire."
Thor nodded and then expressed thanks.
"Young Master Thor, you are too kind!"
"This is what we should be doing."
Michael and Chesire quickly shook their heads and replied.
Thor nodded with a smile, and then the three of them continued discussing some details again.
Finally, until the night completely fell, Thor had someone escort Michael and Chesire to rest, while he stayed in the study, contemplating.
An entire day’s time, the words Michael had spoken earlier were undoubtedly further refined.
At this moment, he had a relatively clear strategy, and now, looking at the map which had many changes, his expression involuntarily carried a touch of anticipation.
