Chapter 69: The Astonishing Rajos Assad

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Astonishing Rajos Assad

What was happening in the Lawrence Territory at this moment was unknown to Thor; it had little to do with him, and he wasn’t interested in paying attention. Once the external environment of Eagle Ridge stabilized, it was undoubtedly time for vigorous development within the entire territory.

Along with two battles, he not only gained a large number of slaves but also achieved numerous meritorious honors, among them enough for many to gain the identity of Free People.

Half a month later, after the statistics were completed.

Thor directly announced the liberation of three hundred peasant slaves.

At the same time, twenty people were granted the qualification to join the Preparatory Knight Order.

This result undoubtedly left both the Free People and the peasant slaves of Eagle Ridge feeling elated.

Proven time and time again, undoubtedly stirred a bright flame in their hearts.

Everyone worked more diligently without a doubt.

The construction of the entire territory also reached a high-speed phase.

Half a month later.

At the stables.

Thor looked at the extremely docile unicorn in front of him, a touch of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that in just a month’s time.

Allen had tamed the unicorn leader in front of him.

"Master, this unicorn should take only about half a year to advance."

"It can already be ridden now without any problem."

Allen respectfully spoke, reporting to Thor.

"Good!"

"You’re doing well. Go to Reine; he will register your merit points."

Thor nodded, his face full of joy.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung himself up onto the unicorn.

Feeling the sudden weight on its back, the unicorn did not struggle as it once did, but instead remained unusually calm.

This undoubtedly indicated that it had been tamed.

Thor pulled on the reins.

The unicorn began to move immediately.

Riding the unicorn and galloping around for a while, feeling the wind rushing past his ears.

Thor’s smile grew even wider.

With a ride like this on a Tier Two Peak unicorn, as long as he completed the contract, he could even escape from an Earth Knight.

Not to mention, the unicorn was soon about to advance to Tier Three.

Once it reached Tier Three, he would likely be able to handle most crises in the Northern Province.

"Sir, Lord Rajos has already returned."

"He will arrive at Eagle Ridge in an hour!"

Just as Thor dismounted, a knight quickly stepped forward to report.

"Rajos?"

"Alright, let’s go welcome him!"

Thor was stunned for a moment, then nodded, pulled the reins, and headed out of Eagle Ridge.

A number of knights followed behind him.

Meanwhile, on the road.

Rajos and his party were marching grandly toward Eagle Ridge.

Within the caravan, Rajos Assad was deep in thought.

The trade over the past few months had been extremely profitable for him.

For the first time, his profits exceeded five hundred gold coins.

This time, however, they were far greater than the first. Three sets of silver armor, along with black iron armor and other materials he carried, had brought his profits to over three thousand gold coins.

It could be said that this was his greatest gain since arriving in the Northern Province.

And it could be foreseen that this was just the beginning.

During this time, although engaged in trade, he had also come to understand the situation of the war.

Eagle Ridge had not only defeated the Lawrence Territory but also defeated the lords Vale and Gladon, becoming the true Uncrowned King of the Maine River Valley.

Previously, while traveling the trade routes.

Not every Pioneer Lord was willing to give him face.

Some lords even had plans to rob him. If not for the knights Thor provided in considerable numbers, he might have been plundered.

But this time, with the victory of Eagle Ridge, the journey was met with extreme courtesy from the Pioneer Lords along the way, without the slightest neglect.

They even offered higher trade prices than usual.

This allowed his trade venture to yield far greater profits than the first time.

Otherwise, with such a vast fortune, he might not have made it back alive.

Of course, compared to the profits, Rajos Assad was more concerned with the existence of Eagle Ridge.

Such a powerful lord let him see a hope, a hope that stirred his heart.

"Perhaps, I really can!"

His eyes sparkling, Rajos Assad felt a surge of excitement.

At that moment, a thought he had never considered before came unbidden to his mind.

As his thoughts were racing.

Ahead.

Thor was already riding over.

And when he recognized what Thor was riding, Rajos Assad couldn’t help his pupils from contracting for a moment.

"My God, my friend, you truly astonish me. Is that a Tier Two Peak unicorn?!"

Rajos Assad exclaimed with amazement, his gaze fixed on the unicorn.

With his discerning eye, he recognized the level of the unicorn in an instant, which gave him even more shock.

It was indeed a unicorn, and a Tier Two Peak unicorn at that.

The fact that it was being ridden by Thor was simply inconceivable.

"Yes, it was an unexpected gain a few days ago!"

"Welcome back, my friend. Seeing your smile tells me this trip was quite fruitful."

Thor smiled and nodded.

His demeanor was extremely casual.

But this casualness made Rajos Assad even more shocked inside.

"Indeed, my friend, thanks to your victory, you know the goods sell better than ever."

Although astonished, Rajos quickly responded.

"Oh, that is indeed good news!"

"Come, I’ve prepared a sumptuous dinner. My friend, you must be hungry by now!"

Thor’s eyes brightened, then he chuckled and spoke.

"Indeed!"

"I’ve gone six hours without eating!"

Rajos laughed as well.

Then Thor escorted Rajos into Eagle Ridge.

In just two months, Eagle Ridge had undergone significant changes, almost visibly.

Seeing Eagle Ridge at this moment, Rajos couldn’t help but pause internally.

On this journey, he had seen quite a few Pioneer Lords.

But he had never seen such a level of development.

He couldn’t imagine how Thor had managed it.

Moreover, unlike other territories that showed no vitality, all of Eagle Ridge seemed full of vigor, both Free People and peasant slaves alike.

"My friend, your territory surprises me every time I come."

Rajos Assad couldn’t help but express his admiration.
