Chapter 189: Chapter 140: Reclaiming 2,000 More Hectares and Transforming Rivers

This confrontation is almost inevitable; as long as the Eagle Merchant Association expands, this kind of result is bound to happen.

Unless his Eagle Merchant Association does not spread to the West.

However, the West is the most prestigious area in the entire Northern Province.

If it doesn’t spread to the West, the Eagle Merchant Association simply cannot develop.

But if it does, then the scene before him is an inevitable result.

Thor just didn’t expect these guys to come up with an internal taxation checkpoint method within the Kingdom.

This is indeed very difficult to resolve.

People establish checkpoints to collect taxes within their own territories, which is allowed by the Kingdom’s law, unless he can conquer each one, wiping them out or subduing them all, otherwise, it is fundamentally unsolvable.

But if he really does that.

Not to mention whether he can succeed.

Even if he can, doing so would easily provoke public anger.

At that time, the issues would probably be far more than just these.

Thor frowned deeply, involuntarily falling into contemplation.

Steve and Reine exchanged a glance, both tacitly choosing not to disturb, instead quietly waiting.

The desk was gently tapped.

Various thoughts continuously interwoven in his mind.

Uncertain how much time passed.

Also unsure of how long it lasted.

"Steve, Reine, is there any response from my second brother?"

Thor shook his head, then looked at the two of them, asking with inquiry.

"Master Tono is currently in contact with other Pioneer Knights of the family and stated he will come to Eagle Territory in a while."

Reine spoke respectfully.

"Contact other family members!"

Thor shook his head, roughly understanding Tono’s intention.

However, in his view, such behavior cannot solve any problem.

Even though he clearly knows that the Dressrosa Family holds extremely powerful influence throughout the Northern Province.

No matter how powerful, it cannot really suppress the strong Noble Lords of the West.

And as long as it cannot be done, these contacts will have very limited impact.

"Sir, do we need to wipe out one of them, the recent turmoil in the Northern Province has not yet settled."

Steve suddenly spoke, a fierce glint in his eyes.

During this period, the numerous messages have made him extremely angry.

And at the moment, not to mention the strength of the entire Eagle Merchant Association, their Eagle Territory’s power alone is already more terrifying than some of the powerful Noble Lords.

Wiping out one is entirely possible.

Upon hearing Steve’s words, Thor looked somewhat surprised.

But he quickly shook his head again.

"No!"

"It’s too obvious, and it will easily drive these people to unite completely. Currently, they haven’t fully allied yet."

He softly explained.

Indeed, the Eagle Territory is strong enough now, even if not considering the Eagle Merchant Association, it is capable of easily wiping out one or a few.

But the problem remains the previous one, unless he can completely solve all of them, targeting one or two is no solution at all.

Instead, it might easily draw these Noble Lords together against a common enemy, then the trouble will truly worsen.

Once they unite, neither the Eagle Merchant Association nor the combined force of their Lords, even with the Dressrosa Family, would be able to contend.

The entire Northern Province consists of more than just the Maine River Valley and not only the Dressrosa Family.

Even though the Three Great Dukes rarely have core descendants becoming Pioneer Knights, the Marquis Family has quite a number of descendants, even many core ones.

These people dispersed are already terrifying, united, they are beyond imagination.

"What!"

Listening to Thor’s words, Steve was also taken aback.

"Alright!"

"Let’s leave it for now!"

"Wait for my second brother to come over or for Rajos to return, and see what the more specific situation is like."

"Steve, arrange those people I brought along."

Thor shook his head, temporarily suppressing his thoughts and instructed.

"Yes!"

Steve nodded.

Then the three of them discussed some territorial matters once again.

Only then did Thor wave them away.

Sitting in the room, Thor fell into contemplation.

Night gradually fell.

As midnight arrived. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A familiar system notification sounded.

The next day.

As the morning light spread.

Under the summer sky, even where the Northern Province was located, there was already a hint of heat.

In the room.

With the maid Karen’s service, Thor finished washing.

Then proceeded to the training ground to practice the Knight’s Breathing Technique.

After one hour of practice, he began handling the related affairs of the territory.

As he had been away for quite some time, there were still many things in the territory that needed to be dealt with. Although Reine, Steve, and those civil servants handled some aspects, some matters still required his arrangements, and those were left over.

"Opening up two thousand fields of farmland again?"

Looking at the content on the document in his hand, Thor couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"Karen!"

Calling out, Thor shouted towards the door.

"Sir!"

The maid Karen quickly walked in, speaking respectfully.

"Go and call Kuwait."

Thor instructed.

"Yes!"

Karen nodded, then quickly retreated.

Soon, Kuwait, who was dealing with food in the town, hurriedly entered the room with a breathless demeanor.

"Sir."

Kuwait spoke respectfully.

"Tell me, how do you plan to cultivate two thousand more fields of farmland?"
