Chapter 104: Chapter 97: Maine Alliance Sets Out (Part 2)

This scene.

The previous speculation seemed to have turned into reality.

"Do you think Lord Thor has hired a Level 3 mage from the Habbs Commerce Association?"

Saki muttered to himself.

"Impossible, a Level 3 Mage, even if just hired, would cost over a thousand Gold Coins, which could easily buy a large number of slaves, so it’s completely unnecessary."

Joz Anubi shook his head and spoke softly.

His words made everyone fall silent involuntarily.

If not hired, then there is only one possibility: Eagle Territory has them themselves.

But that’s even more shocking than hiring.

A Level 3 Mage.

That’s a Level 3 Mage, even the Dressrosa Family does not have a Level 3 Mage in existence.

And not just the Dressrosa Family, even the Marquis Family across the entire Tulip Kingdom doesn’t have them universally; more than half don’t.

Thor, a descendant of the Dressrosa Family, actually possesses one, it’s simply unbelievable.

The few, with complicated emotions, walked along the way.

Soon they arrived at Eagle Castle.

At this moment, Thor had already been informed of their arrival.

Inside the castle.

Pelos personally came to greet them.

In the hall.

The few met Thor again.

At this moment, Thor still maintained a gentle smile, seemingly unchanged.

"How have you all considered?"

"Are you willing to join?"

Thor spoke again only after everyone had entered.

"Lord Thor, pardon my boldness, I want to ask, can you truly provide a large number of goblins? Can they be restrained?"

Baron Valmy spoke, his gaze fixed on Thor.

With his words, the surroundings instantly quieted down, with gazes converging.

"Of course!"

"You all should have seen it; Eagle Territory possesses a large number of goblins, but this is not all. There are even more in the mines and dams, and I can certainly provide, as for restraining them, that’s even simpler."

"Everyone should know this, so I don’t need to elaborate."

Thor smiled as he spoke, then waved his hand, revealing a sheepskin scroll.

Looking at the sheepskin scroll, the few present couldn’t help but feel a shiver inside, their hearts involuntarily stirred again.

"Everyone, since we are allies, the price is negotiable, how about ten Gold Coins for one thousand goblins? For Tier One Goblins, how about thirty Gold Coins for one thousand?"

Seeing the shock on everyone’s faces, Thor thought for a moment before speaking again.

This price was his carefully considered offer.

Goblins are naturally not comparable to human slaves, and cannot be more expensive than human slaves, at least not more expensive than those in the Northern Province.

Initially, Thor planned to price one goblin at one Gold Coin, directly marking it down to ten Copper Coins per goblin.

But after some thought, he abandoned that idea; in the short term, this business cannot be expanded.

Thus the volume of sales would inevitably be limited, and in such a situation, cheap selling is not a good choice.

Therefore, he directly set the price at the slave price of Frost Moon Province.

However, even so, this price is enticing enough.

"Ten Gold Coins for a thousand?"

Upon hearing his words, the five present couldn’t help but have their eyes light up.

A thousand goblins for only ten Gold Coins, this means the price for one goblin is less than a Silver Coin.

Even for Tier One Goblins, the price is merely three Silver Coins each.

When thinking of the slave prices in Loren City, even these long-term Pioneer Lords in the Northern Province couldn’t help but have their eyes light up.

Although not as good as human slaves, goblin slaves still have advantages that human slaves cannot match.

They are stronger and you don’t feel bad consuming them.

No need to consider subsequent placements.

"Yes, ten Gold Coins for a thousand, but it needs to be sold in increments of three thousand!"

"If anyone is interested, they can submit a purchase request to Pelos!"

Thor smiled as he spoke.

"Understood!"

"Lord Thor, on this visit, we’ve made up our minds and agree to participate in the clean-up."

Pape Lawrence nodded his head and after a brief ponder spoke again.

"Oh, have you all decided?"

Thor was a bit surprised, his gaze swept over to the others.

"Yes, Lord Thor, I’ve already made my decision."

"We now rely on your support, Lord Thor."

Baron Valmy also spoke.

Subsequently, the others nodded one after another.

Seeing the expression and words of these people, Thor couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

Truthfully, Thor had initially prepared for someone to disagree.

After all, facing the Beastman Tribe, there are quite a few risks involved, and others don’t possess his daily intelligence system nor are aware that he has it; compared to taking risks, building territories seems like the best choice.

However, there was no expectation that no one among the five withdrew.

Although unexpected, Thor still showed a hint of joy.

The joining of the five is undoubtedly the best outcome.

Not only can it maximize the power of the Maine Alliance, but more importantly, the joining of the five prevents any further unforeseen events from occurring in the Maine Alliance.

With the Maine River Valley now barely a whole, Thor doesn’t want to break it apart again.

"You all exaggerate!"

"With your joining, our cleanup mission will not be such a burden!"

Thor smiled as he spoke.

Afterwards, the six began to discuss the cleanup mission.

And the matters concerning the alliance of the six territories.

Having previous experience, this time the alliance naturally revolved around Thor’s Eagle Territory.

On the third day in the morning.

Personnel from the other five territories were starting to gather in Eagle Territory.

Being different from before.

This time, the mobilized forces are somewhat weaker.

Among them, Baron Pape Lawrence brought five Official Knights, over twenty Apprentice Knights, and over a hundred Preparatory Knights, while Baron Valmy had three Official Knights, over ten Apprentice Knights, and one hundred Preparatory Knights, Baron Gladon had two Official Knights, over ten Apprentice Knights, and over one hundred Preparatory Knights.

Saki had one Official Knight, five Apprentice Knights, and over fifty Preparatory Knights, but surprisingly, Joz Anubi brought three Official Knights, over twenty Apprentice Knights, and over one hundred Preparatory Knights, more than Baron Gladon and Baron Valmy, second only to Baron Pape.

This time, Thor himself led the team, with Reine accompanying, deploying a Great Knight, twenty Official Knights, over a hundred Apprentice Knights, and three hundred Preparatory Knights.

Six legions gathered, with numbers directly exceeding one thousand people.

Though not like the last time facing Minotaurs, the strength was formidable.

Especially with the participation of the several lords, this legion had six Great Knights, something an ordinary Viscount Lord would struggle to have.

Not to mention, the number of Official Knights reached nearly forty, with hundreds of Apprentice Knights.

Such power, not everywhere but in the Northern Province’s north and east, no lord could produce.

Only in the west with those great noble descendants might it be conceivable.

Five days later.

The Maine Alliance was completed.

Immediately they marched grandly.

Target, the lower reaches of the Maine River, the northern region of the Northern Province.
