Chapter 142 - 116: Community of Shared Interests, Further Integration of the Maine Alliance_2

Chapter 142: Chapter 116: Community of Shared Interests, Further Integration of the Maine Alliance_2 In this situation, after Thor returned to the territory, on one hand, he dealt with the affairs of the Eagle Territory, and on the other hand, he was also preparing for this matter.


After more than a month, he finally sorted out a satisfactory plan.


After preparing to complete this matter, he set off to return home.


Inside the castle.


Thor put down the goose quill pen.


"Karen, make five copies of this letter, and then hand them over to Pelos, and let him arrange for people to send them to the five barons."


Thor spoke, instructing the maid beside him.


"Yes!"


Karen responded respectfully.


Then she quickly walked out.


A moment later.


Five letters were taken by five Official Knights towards the five Pioneer Lords.


Facing Thor’s invitation.


The other five lords of the Maine Alliance, though a bit puzzled, did not show any negligence.


The next day they set off directly.


By the third day, all five had arrived at the Eagle Castle.


However, when everyone gathered at the Eagle Castle, their puzzlement only grew stronger.


Thor not only asked them to come individually but also invited the other four lords.


"Baron Pape, do you know why Lord Thor invited us over this time?"


Lord Saki spoke hesitantly, his gaze inadvertently turning to Pape Lawrence.


"Yes, Baron Pape, do you know anything?"


Baron Valmy also spoke.


The words of the two made the other two also look at Pape Lawrence.


Among those present, whether in terms of distance or contact, Baron Pape had more interactions with Thor, so their first reaction was whether Baron Pape knew something.


"Sorry, I don’t know either, just like you, I’m full of doubts!"


Pape Lawrence shook his head with a bitter smile, a feeling of helplessness in his expression.


By the Goddess of Life, he didn’t know either.


"This!"


Upon hearing Baron Pape’s words and seeing his expression, the four were taken aback, not expecting Baron Pape to also be in the dark.


And in their confusion.


Karen walked out.


"This way, please, my lord barons!"


A gentle voice echoed.


"Thank you!"


They nodded, having to temporarily suppress their curiosity and followed the maid Karen into the castle.


Soon, the five were brought into the castle’s meeting room.


"Lord Thor!"


Upon seeing Thor, the five quickly performed a knight’s salute.


"Gentlemen, I hope the sudden invitation hasn’t disturbed you."


Thor returned their knightly gesture, then spoke with a smile.


"Lord Thor, you’re too modest!"


"Your invitation is our honor!"


Baron Saki said with a smile.


"Indeed, you’re too courteous!"


The others nodded in agreement.


"This invitation is mainly about the matters of the business venture. You should be aware that I’ve established a business venture."


Thor shook his head with a smile, not beating around the bush, and spoke directly.


"Business venture?"


The five glanced at each other, their expressions somewhat puzzled.


Baron Pape instinctively voiced a question.


"Yes, a business venture. I’ve decided to intervene in the West of the Northern Province. As you know, compared to the East, the West is more prosperous and can bring greater revenues."


"Of course, that’s not the main reason, the main reason is I want to know if you are interested."


Thor nodded, then spoke with a smile.


As soon as his words fell, the five present couldn’t help but breathe heavily.


Someone even couldn’t help but widen their eyes.


"L-Lord Thor, what did you say?"


Baron Valmy couldn’t help but speak, his face slightly flushed.


And it wasn’t just him; the other four were in a similar state.


A business venture.


The income a business venture can bring is unimaginable.


Even more so a business venture intervening in the West of the Northern Province, it is as if a colossal pie has fallen from the sky.


"Lord Thor, you’re not joking, are you?"


Joz Anubi also couldn’t help but speak.


As he spoke, all eyes were inevitably focused on Thor.


Under the gaze of so many eyes.


"This is certainly no joke, gentlemen, I’ve decided to offer a 24% dividend, you can buy shares based on your strength, a Great Knight can receive 5%, an Official Knight 0.5%, and an Apprentice Knight 0.1%, what do you think!"


Thor’s smile faded, his expression became serious, and his words rang out.


This was something he had discussed before, and the final decision was that Barbus, Rajos, and Tono each offered 3%, while Thor offered 15%, totaling 24% for the dividend needed for the five lords of the Maine Alliance.


Divided evenly, each lord could get nearly 5%.


Of course, it’s not possible to divide it equally, those with greater strength would naturally receive more.


But that wasn’t something Thor needed to worry about.


Everything depended on the choice of the lords.


Listening to Thor’s words, the five, despite their excitement, couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.


A moment later.


Joz Anubi’s voice was the first to sound.


"Lord Thor, I can provide one Great Knight, two Official Knights, and ten Apprentice Knights; how about I take 7%?"


Speaking, Joz Anubi looked at Thor.


"Of course you can!"


Thor was a bit surprised, but still nodded.


"Lord Joz, you indeed have a generous hand; how about this, I’ll offer four Official Knights and twenty Apprentice Knights, Lord Thor, I’ll take 4%!"


Baron Gladon gave Joz Anubi a deep look, then also spoke.


"Lord Thor, I’ll offer one Great Knight, four Official Knights, and ten Apprentice Knights. I’ll take 8%."


Baron Pape gritted his teeth and also spoke.


His words surprised everyone, even Thor was a bit taken aback.


"Lord Thor, am I qualified to join?"


Baron Pape spoke, clearly referring to himself as the Great Knight.


"Of course you can!"


Thor nodded with a smile, not rejecting him.


As for Baron Pape’s thinking, he could roughly guess; it was apparent that the other party had begun transferring his territory to his eldest son, so he naturally belonged to the available strength.


And the words of these few people made Baron Valmy and Baron Saki have second thoughts.


But the two opened their mouths.


Ultimately, they chose not to join themselves.


Unlike Baron Pape, their territories did not have suitable heirs. Abandoning their territories to join the business venture was not a good option for them.


Eventually, Baron Valmy used four Official Knights and ten Apprentice Knights to secure 3%, and Lord Saki used two Official Knights and ten Apprentice Knights to secure 2%.


The entire 24% dividend was divided.


The personnel of the business venture was further expanded.


Now Rajos holds 5%, Barbus 9%, Tono 12%, Thor 50%, Baron Pape 8%, Joz Anubi 7%, Baron Gladon 4%, Baron Valmy 3%, and Saki 2%.
