Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 300 - 195: Countermeasures, Crisis Approaching? (2)
At this moment, there seems to be a real opportunity.
And as long as he can completely stabilize, then the next step, before the Kingdom War, is undoubtedly the time he truly soars to the sky.
The night gradually passes.
Stars gradually adorn the sky.
A familiar mechanical sound arises.
Thor, after carefully inspecting, promptly entered the realm of dreams as well.
The night gradually passes, and a new day arrives.
The entire Eagle Territory seems to have instantly come alive.
Figures start to quickly bustle around.
Returning to the territory, Thor also begins to enter the busyness.
Though most affairs of Eagle Territory are handled by Joseph, and Rajos Assad manages the Eagle Merchant Association, this does not mean he has nothing left to do.
These gathered matters still require his attention.
Such as the Merit Points System, and the Knight Order.
And the plans for the future.
These matters, when summed up, are not few.
As for Michael and Chesire, they proactively integrate into the whole of Eagle Territory.
Chesire leads the Eagle Knight Order in clearing out surrounding goblins, beastmen, and demon beasts.
Michael takes on the task of instructing the Eagle Cub Knight Order.
It must be said, the two, one being at the Earth Knight Peak and the other in Late-Stage Earth Knight, with their joining, the improvement of the Eagle Cub Knight Order and the clearing operations, evidently scales up several notches.
Especially the clearing operations, previously slow due to the lack of strong participants.
Now it’s accelerating by countless times.
Even recently bred goblins have been swept away again, not even some demon beasts could escape.
And amidst their actions.
Another good news reaches Thor’s ears.
That is, Marshall is about to prepare for a breakthrough.
After several months of preparation, his efforts have finally come to fruition, and now it’s time to see if he can formally become an Earth Knight.
As one of the three major transformations in Knight’s Training.
The breakthrough to Earth Knight is not simple.
Ordinary gifted beings may not have the chance in a lifetime.
Clearly, Marshall is not; currently, at just over forty, if he truly can break through, even compared to Dressrosa’s descendants, it is extremely formidable. Nearly no one in Dressrosa’s lineage, besides Thor, can match him.
In response, Thor is generous, providing Marshall not just three Divine Wood Fruits, but also three bottles of Mid-Level Life Potion.
"Thank you, Young Master Thor!"
Grateful, Marshall cannot help but show a hint of appreciation towards Thor’s generosity.
Having arranged for Marshall, Thor soon receives word from Rajos Assad concerning issues in the Eagle Merchant Association.
Keeping busy, it wasn’t until a week later that things gradually eased.
During this week, the Eagle Territory was overall relatively peaceful, no significant events occurred.
As for matters at the Northern Defense Line, no new updates arrived either.
The Divine Domain War seemed never to have taken place.
Even those strong noble descendants didn’t seem to return to the Northern Province.
Of course, this is quite normal.
The Divine Domain War is not something that ends easily.
Those powerful nobles, although many were present at the Northern Defense Line, some suffered losses during the high-intensity battles of those days, and others were dealt with by Walt and Sedge Spencer; most of the remaining ones had already returned to their family territories.
It would take quite some time before they ventured into the Northern Province again.
Which, undoubtedly, is precious development time for the territory.
In the study.
Thor finished processing some affairs.
His right hand brings out the pocket watch again, which seems unremarkable.
"What exactly is this?"
Studying the pocket watch before him, Thor murmurs to himself.
Already about half a month has passed, yet he still hasn’t discovered any anomalies in this pocket watch.
Even the intelligence reports have not provided any alerts.
His curiosity for the item grows.
In recent days, he has attempted various approaches.
Such as using moonlight, reminiscent of what he did with the bunch of relic items from that day.
Using blood.
And Life Source Power.
Even having Anna try magic on it, all to no significant effect.
The item truly seems to be just an ordinary pocket watch, albeit slightly more worn.
Yet Thor knows clearly, appearing in the daily intelligence with special notation means it cannot be ordinary.
At present, neither he nor the daily intelligence has gathered related information.
Rehandling it a little bit.
Until the study’s door was knocked on.
Thor then put the item away.
"Come in!"
Speaking these words.
Moments later, the door is pushed open.
Steve promptly enters.
"My lord!"
Steve speaks respectfully.
"How are things? Any new information from the Northern Defense Line?"
Thor begins querying Steve.
Recently, he’s had Steve look into the situation at the Northern Defense Line, also ensuring the completion of merit statistics.
Previously, he had fought intensely at the Northern Defense Line for several days.
He is not far from achieving Viscount’s merits, once calculated, he stands to gain a higher nobility title opportunity.
Thor is quite attentive to this.
Not to mention, although the Divine Domain War will not resolve quickly.
A wise man anticipates unmissable significant developments ahead.
Even though daily intelligence offers early warning capabilities, Thor ensures ongoing attention.
To avoid missing out on crucial intelligence.
His choice undoubtedly is correct.
"My lord, from the North, it’s said Behemoths have fully mobilized, additionally, several Tier Six Beastman Tribe’s have appeared."
"Among the three great kingdoms, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and Tulip Kingdom likewise dispatched significant forces to the Northern Defense Line."
Steve reports solemnly.
Such news, even upon recently realizing, has made Steve slightly tense, rushing back for reporting.
"What?"
"Are you sure?"
Upon hearing Steve’s words, Thor couldn’t help standing abruptly.
"Yes, my lord!"
"I gathered this from the West’s side; yesterday many Pioneer Lords returned."
"The event seems to be around seven days ago."
"Reportedly, the Kingdom is already preparing the third wave of support."
Steve nods, then speaks with a hint of concern.
Such matters are not good news for the entire Northern Defense Line, nor for the whole Northern Province, let alone for them.
Once fully engaged in war with beastmen, the Northern Province will surely be the forefront.
Their current strength may be formidable, but compared to whom? Within the whole Northern Lands, they may not lose much compared to Marquis Reman.
But in a comprehensive Beastman War, this amount of power may stir barely a ripple.
If Beastman War involves fully, the Northern Province might thoroughly be engulfed in flames of war, causing current constructive efforts to evaporate.
Of course, what Steve thinks of, Thor naturally contemplates too.
This very moment, Thor’s brows couldn’t help but slightly furrow.
