Chapter 95: Chapter 93: Becoming a Noble Starting Today

When Loren City was bustling with excitement, ten days later, five days before the ceremony, Thor arrived in Loren City with Reine and twenty Official Knights.

Compared to the previous visit,

Loren City was undeniably even more lively, almost comparable to that of the auction event before.

However, compared to before, most Pioneer Lords were filled with excitement and smiles.

This time, the smiles on most people’s faces had disappeared.

Instead, they were replaced by heaviness and worry.

As time passed, the situation in the entire Northern Province did not improve much, particularly in the northern region, where another Baron Territory was destroyed. This was already the third Baron Territory to fall in three months, whereas in the past three years, such destruction had never occurred so rapidly.

And this time, it was only within three months.

Moreover, this was just the Baron Territories; the number of Pioneer Lord territories destroyed had reached a numbing scale.

Even some Pioneer Lords and Baron Lords who were not directly affected began to feel worried.

"It seems the situation is even less optimistic than anticipated!"

Looking at everyone’s expressions, Thor sighed lightly.

Before setting off, Rajos Assad completed another trade and brought back some related information.

Thor naturally had some understanding.

But now, it seemed the circumstances were even more difficult than he had imagined.

"Lord, do you need me to investigate?"

Reine softly inquired of Thor.

"Alright, go and find out."

Thor pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Understood!"

Reine nodded, then rode off.

Meanwhile, Thor and his men continued to head into the city.

After entering the city,

Thor could feel the heavy atmosphere even more.

As he took each step,

Thor watched the figures passing by, with thoughts circulating in his mind.

Unconsciously, he found himself at his previous lodging.

He had already purchased it.

Settling in was now very simple.

After Thor had settled in for a short time,

Reine returned.

"Lord!"

Reine greeted respectfully.

"How are things looking?"

Thor asked, turning his gaze to Reine, who returned with a worried expression.

"Lord, I have found out. It is said that the Kingdom’s Earth Dragon Knight Order has been assaulted by five Tier Three Beastman Tribes, and the Flying Eagle Knight Order is reportedly facing two Tier Three Beastman Tribes as well. Currently, there are more than twelve Beastman Tribes in the north, and seven in the west. This is only what’s known so far, and although most are Tier Two, or even just Tier One Beastman Tribes, they have still caused significant destruction to noble territories."

Reine spoke in a deep voice, relaying the information he had just gathered.

Compared to the information obtained by Rajos in Loren City, it was undoubtedly more extensive.

But such news still made Thor’s brow twitch.

The Earth Dragon Knight Order, being the Kingdom’s most elite knight order, possessed formidable strength, while the Flying Eagle Knight Order was Marquis Reman’s most elite force, equally powerful.

Yet both had been impacted, unable to exert their might.

The resulting shock was already substantial.

Not to mention, twelve Beastman Tribes had appeared in the northern Northern Province, and seven in the west, totaling nineteen.

Even if these nineteen Beastman Tribes were just ordinary Tier One creatures, as long as they weren’t cowardly goblins, they could wreak havoc on human territories.

Let alone the fact that these were not just Tier One Beastman Tribes; there were also Tier Two, and possibly remnants of Tier Three Beastman Tribes like the Minotaur Tribe they had encountered.

The threat was indeed greater than he had imagined.

If things go wrong, almost half of the Northern Nobility could be wiped out this time.

After all, these Pioneer Lords, aside from a few strong Lords, were incapable of resisting a Tier Two Beastman Tribe.

This was not good for Thor at all.

He wanted to develop, but needed a relatively stable environment.

Although the Northern Province could never be truly stable, it couldn’t be this chaotic either.

"Has Marquis Reman taken any actions?"

Thor furrowed his brows before inquiring again.

At this moment, he could only hope that the Marquis would do something.

Although the Marquis didn’t manage affairs much before, concerning matters relating to the stability of his territories, surely he had no choice but to act.

"Marquis Reman has reportedly invited several powerful Noble Lords to purge the Beastman Tribes across the Northern Province. Furthermore, it is also said that he has deployed five hundred members of the Flying Eagle Knight Order to Qiuye Territory, but other details are currently unknown."

Reine nodded and then relayed what he had learned.

"Inviting Noble Lords to purge."

Thor raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected any Noble Lords would dare to undertake the purging of the Beastman Tribes.

The presence of Minotaurs made him aware of the Beastman Tribes’ formidable strength.

Even if a typical Tier Two Beastman Tribe wasn’t as powerful as the Minotaur Tribe, it was not something a regular Baron Lord could handle.

After all, at most a Baron Lord had two Great Knights, and most only had one, whereas a Tier Two Beastman Tribe, however weak, likely had two Tier Two Beastmen, and possibly three or more.
