Chapter 126 - 108: Letters from the West (2)

Chapter 126: Chapter 108: Letters from the West (2) As for within the territory.


He decided to leave Pelos behind.


In Tono’s letter, it clearly indicated the strength of those Sheep-headed Men.


If he brought too few people, it wouldn’t be effective.


As for withdrawing two-thirds of the forces, he wasn’t too worried about the territory’s safety.


On one hand, there hadn’t been any dangerous intelligence recently in the daily updates. On the other hand, the Maine River Valley, with two joint efforts, had almost become a whole. Even if some issues arose, the Maine Alliance could handle them, so there was nothing to worry about.


Just like during previous cleanups, if a major problem occurred, they could rush back.


The group set off in grand formation.


Heading towards the West.


The distance from the Eastern Maine River Valley to the Danube River in the West was quite far.


Fortunately, everyone was a knight, moving with great speed.


Seven days later.


The group had already crossed the middle region and reached the West.


Upon arriving in the West, Thor could clearly feel the scenery here was completely different from the East and North.


The trees here were more lush.


The number of demon beasts was much higher than in the East.


The temperature was also more suitable.


In the Eastern Maine River Valley, it was actually a bit cold due to its proximity to the Northern Ice Glacier. The cold waves each year were terrifying.


But the Western Region was very warm.


The abundance of resources made Thor’s eyes light up.


"Ding, the intelligence system has been updated!"


"Do you want to open it?"


The mechanical voice echoed once again.


"Open it!"


Thor spoke.


"Buzz!"


[Daily intelligence has been updated]


[1: In your North, 30 miles away, a group of Pig Beasts will pass by, with their leader reaching Tier Three]


[2: In your West, 1000 miles away, a Star Moon Fruit Tree is being developed, and it will mature in three months]


[3: Ahead of you, 50 miles away, in three hours, two Tier Two magical beasts will fight each other]


[4: Ahead of you, 20 miles to the right, there’s a group of......]


[5: Ahead of you, 50 miles to the right of the big tree, a group of over twenty Unicorns will pass by]


[6: 1000 miles to the right of Melder’s territory ahead of you, a group of Earth Dragons are residing]


........


Line after line of words appeared, and compared to the East and North, the Western region’s abundance was immeasurable. Just upon entering the Western Region, Thor already gained a lot, and there was even more in the daily intelligence update.


They even discovered several spots with Divine Wood Fruit and a production site for Star Moon Fruit.


There were also quite a few Thorny Butterfly Fish.


However, due to the distance, Thor had to temporarily give them up.


After all, his main purpose this time was to support his second brother.


He couldn’t stop in the West to gather resources.


Of course, even though he temporarily gave up, Thor still recorded those resources, waiting to see if there would be time later on.


If time permitted, he would come back and collect them.


Even if he gave up some, he still gained considerably on this journey.


If calculated in Gold Coins, it would be no less than a thousand Gold Coins.


Some things were even priceless in Gold Coins.


This gave Thor an idea to sweep through the area.


But it was just a thought.


Thor knew clearly that even though these gains were tempting, the main focus was still the territory.


The territory was tied to his identity.


Especially after becoming a Pioneer Lord, building his territory well would give him a broader future.


As night gradually passed.


In the coming days, Thor and his group continued onward.


They gained a lot along the way once again.


However, they also encountered several magical beasts’ attacks.


Even though Thor intended to avoid some, the magical beasts in the Western Region were indeed too many. Even if they tried to evade, encounters were inevitable.


Luckily, Thor and his group were incredibly strong. Even when facing a Tier Two Peak magical beast, they still easily slew it.


And within three days, time passed quickly.


Thor and his group finally arrived at Tono’s territory.


Compared to Eagle Territory.


Tono’s territory was certainly much smaller.


Most likely about the size of the former Eagle Town.


At this moment, golden wheat spikes adorned the fields, and peasant slaves were at work in the fields.


Along the wide roads.


A group had long been waiting there.


Leading them was a middle-aged knight.


He bore a resemblance to Thor, though his face had grown somewhat rough, with quite a bit of stubble.


When Thor and his group appeared, the middle-aged man immediately rode forward to meet them.


Seeing the approaching figure, Thor quickly dismounted from Nia.


The figure not far away did the same.


"Thor, my brother!"


Tono laughed loudly, opening his arms.


"Brother!"


Thor also smiled, spreading his arms wide.


The two hugged each other tightly.


"Welcome, my brother, did you have a smooth journey?"


Tono asked with a smile.


"Everything went smoothly!"


"Brother!"


Thor also smiled, looking at the person before him, Thor felt a mysterious sensation, seemingly drawn by their shared bloodline.


In this world.


Bloodlines are very important.


The link within a bloodline is something all nobles cherish deeply.


Even though the two hadn’t seen each other for over a decade.


Upon meeting, they still felt a deep, genuine emotion.


"Come, Thor, I’ve prepared a sumptuous dinner, just waiting for your arrival!"


"I’ll also introduce you to my children."


Tono spoke with a laugh, then led Thor into the castle.


Thor nodded with a smile.


He then followed Tono into the castle.


As Tono mentioned, a splendid dinner was indeed prepared inside the castle.


Thor also met his brother’s wife and several children.


Tono’s wife was a beautiful middle-aged woman named Evelyn, though her family name was unknown.


Judging by her demeanor, she likely came from nobility.


The couple’s children included two sons and a daughter.


The eldest son, Kevin, was already twelve years old, the second son, Dia, was nine, and the daughter, Leia, was six.


"Uncle!"


The three children were curious upon seeing Thor, yet respectfully greeted him.


"For our first meeting, I have a small gift for you. I hope you like it!"


Thor spoke with a smile, and a knight came forward to present three small wooden boxes to the children.


"Thank you!"


The three children expressed their gratitude.


"Hahaha, Thor, you are too kind!"


"Let’s have a drink!"


Tono said with a laugh, then led Thor to the head of the table.


The two men conversed.


Meanwhile, the three children opened their gift boxes.


When they saw the contents, the children were astonished.


As descendants of nobility, they had studied extensively from a young age and recognized the items within the boxes.


Kevin’s box contained an Intermediate Life Potion, while Dia’s and Leia’s boxes each contained a Divine Wood Fruit.


"Wait a moment, I’ll go find mother!"


Kevin was the first to react, quickly speaking up.


Dia and Leia nodded in agreement.


Kevin then took the three gift boxes and ran to where his mother was.


"Mother!"


Kevin spoke softly.


"What is it?"


Evelyn asked, somewhat puzzled.
