Chapter 105: Chapter 98: Turmoil in the Northern Province, Time of Opportunity and Harvest

Five days later.

The Maine Alliance set off.

The target was the lower reaches of the Maine River, in the northern part of the Northern Province.

And upon entering.

Thor and others from the Maine Alliance immediately discovered the enormous disturbance outside.

Everywhere were shattered territories.

And fires blazing fiercely.

By just the third day, everyone noticed the signs of destruction in three Pioneer Lords’ territories.

One place even still had a group of goblins rampaging.

The entire territory, the farmlands had long been trampled beyond recognition, and everywhere in the territory were corpses, severed limbs.

Some demon beasts, and goblins were gnawing on the remains of humans.

Yet they were obviously not the real "culprits".

"These damned beastmen, could it be they’re planning to launch another Beastman War!"

Baron Gladon couldn’t help but speak, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"Probably not!"

"Otherwise, it should be a Kingdom War mobilization right now!"

"And there haven’t been any signs of high-level Beastman tribes either."

Baron Pape shook his head, speaking softly.

Knowing that the distance to the North is not short, and it is almost a thousand miles from the frontline Qiuye Territory, yet even so, this place still suffered such an impact from the Beastman tribes, one can imagine what the situation would be like in the North, where the frontlines of Pioneer Territories are.

Among the Maine Alliance, each Lord couldn’t help but carry a sense of gravity.

Even Thor was no exception.

"Let’s clear out these beastmen first!"

After a moment of silence, Thor still spoke.

Being human, seeing these humans constantly being gnawed on by these beastmen was also something he couldn’t stand.

Their gazes met for a moment.

Then they slightly nodded.

Soon, everyone began to move.

Thousands of people took action.

These low-level demon beasts, and beastmen were quickly cleaned up.

At the same time, the remains and pieces in this territory were reburied.

During the cleanup, everyone also had some gains.

In the broken territory, they obtained about five hundred Gold Coins.

Obviously, with the territory shattered, these coins were left behind, as the beastmen had no need for Gold Coins, naturally benefiting them.

Gaining five hundred Gold Coins slightly eased the originally sullen spirits of the group, and even brought a smile to their faces.

Five hundred Gold Coins, even split among six, with Thor taking the lion’s share, he could still get about seventy to eighty Gold Coins.

This was a significant amount, even for Joz Anubi, Saki, and even for Barons Pape, Valmy, and Gladon.

Especially since this was just the beginning.

"Looks like we have good luck!"

"Let’s continue on our way!"

Thor waved his hand, and the group once again continued toward the North.

The time that followed.

Their gains were even more surprising.

Along the way, they quickly encountered several shattered Pioneer Territories.

Although they didn’t find as many Gold Coins as in that first territory, they gained a considerable amount of resources.

In less than ten days, even excluding those five hundred Gold Coins, the resources they gained were worth over a thousand Gold Coins.

This was almost comparable to half a year’s income for their territories.

And there was an unexpected surprise.

In the lower reaches of the Maine River Valley, they even discovered a medium-sized iron ore deposit.

Just that medium-sized iron ore deposit was worth thousands of Gold Coins.

In an instant, the three Barons and two Pioneer Lords couldn’t help but be thoroughly excited, and their previous anxiety and tension vanished completely.

With such huge interests at hand, all issues ceased to be issues.

And this was exactly what Thor needed.

Whether it was the discovery of territory resources or the appearance of the medium-sized iron ore deposit, these were undoubtedly his doing.

He needed to bind everyone in the Maine Alliance into one unit, and that required sufficient interests.

It wasn’t enough just to say a couple of sentences.

Those words might last a day, two days, three days, ten days, but they could absolutely not last indefinitely.

What could sustain them was only interests.

When the interests were ample, when he could bring these people continuous profits, profits they couldn’t even imagine, then his words would be enough to resonate throughout the entire Maine River Valley and even govern with ease.

Though to truly subdue them, he might also need to offer them higher titles for it to be possible.

But a good start is the most crucial aspect.

That’s what leads to everything that follows.

This clean-up was undoubtedly one of Thor’s beginnings.

And also a trial for him.

The night gradually passed.

The stars dotted the whole sky.

The Lords all wore expressions of excitement.

Even the three Barons were the same.

At this moment, they seemed to see the time of harvest.

They didn’t really know how many territories in the Northern Province were shattered, but one thing they could be sure of was that their upcoming gains would be greater than they originally imagined.

They might not even need to face the Beastman tribes.

In their excitement.

Thor furrowed his brow slightly, looking at his Golden Finger.

The daily intelligence had been updated.
