Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 57: Baron Pape Lawrence Blown Away

At the mining area, figures were swiftly preparing, while up ahead Baron Pape Lawrence was already approaching with his men in a grand manner.

"Father, shall we dispatch a vanguard to probe the area first?"

Lawrence looked at the quiet surroundings, carefully asking his father.

"Alright!"

"Rosen!"

Baron Pape Lawrence nodded, then looked at a knight beside him.

"At your command!"

The knight quickly responded.

"Take your men and scout ahead."

Baron Pape Lawrence immediately issued the order.

"Yes!"

"My lord!"

The knight answered swiftly, and then over twenty riders split off and quickly rushed towards the distance.

However, an unexpected event occurred.

They were clearly discovered, yet encountered no enemies along the way.

The knights of Eagle Territory seemed to have disappeared.

"My lord, no enemies found!"

"But indeed, there are clear signs of mining!"

Rosen returned quickly, reporting excitedly to Baron Pape Lawrence.

"Hahaha!"

"Goddess of Life bless us!"

Baron Pape Lawrence couldn’t help but laugh, his expression showing a trace of excitement.

No amount of speculation could match the thrill of true confirmation.

If before it was just a guess, now it could be confirmed thoroughly.

The mining traces and all previous indications pointed out the existence of a large iron ore deposit here.

"The lord of Eagle Territory probably heard of your arrival, father, and retreated in advance!"

Lawrence also spoke with a smile.

"Haha, it seems our neighbor, the descendants of Dressrosa, is no fool."

"Really thankful for him, I never imagined that there’d be a large iron ore deposit here, taking it over will allow our Lawrence Clan to birth another Viscount."

Baron Pape Lawrence’s smile grew broader, his expression relaxed.

After all, the opponent belongs to the Dressrosa Family, and such a family’s Pioneer Knight strength isn’t weak. Engaging them would certainly result in losses, although compared to a large iron ore deposit, some losses are bearable.

But avoiding losses would undoubtedly be preferable.

"Advance at full speed!"

Baron Pape Lawrence drew the Knight’s Sword at his waist and issued the command.

Then, the larger group of men swiftly approached.

As they gradually closed in.

On the hillside.

Steve’s eyes were filled with excitement.

He had withdrawn all surrounding patrols just to keep this group of men here.

At this moment, as the group approached a sufficient range.

He raised his hand.

The next moment.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Three Magic Crystal Cannons suddenly lit up with blue arrays, and three roaring sounds arose, with three terrifying rays directly covering the distance.

Not far away.

Among the gradually approaching men, Baron Pape Lawrence instinctively sensed something.

He quickly raised his head.

And just as he did, his expression changed.

"What is this?"

His smiling face first turned to confusion, followed by an unprecedented fear that spread over his entire body.

"This is bad!"

A cry of alarm rang out, he disregarded everything else, his body lunging towards Lawrence, dragging him off the horse.

However, while he could react in time, the others were not so fortunate.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Terrifying blue light covered everything, thunder flashing everywhere.

Over three thousand men were suddenly enveloped.

The deafening explosive sound echoed, dirt, trees, and limbs flying everywhere instantly.

The power of the Magic Crystal Cannons was beyond imagination, as strategic resources above the level in the Tulip Kingdom that could pose a threat to even Behemoths, let alone ordinary slaves, Apprentice Knights, and Knights.

Even with only three cannons.

This was enough to be termed an absolute weapon of mass destruction.

Over three thousand men, most were instantly torn apart. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Under thunderous cover, mighty forces destroyed everything.

Amidst the thunderous shroud.

The frightening explosion continued to spread.

On the hillside.

Steve immediately drew his Knight’s Sword.

"Lord said, kill one for three merit points, capture one alive for five merits."

"No one is allowed to escape."

His loud voice echoed, and next moment Steve led thousands down the hillside.

The distance of a thousand meters swiftly narrowed.

The over three thousand men brought by Baron Pape Lawrence didn’t have time to react, still enveloped in screams, fear, and confusion, as Steve charged with his men.

On the ground.

Baron Pape Lawrence, and his eldest son Lawrence, were now covered in burns.

Thunder roared, although they reacted promptly, Baron Pape Lawrence even mobilized all his Life Source Power for defense, but the thunder still shattered his Life Source Shield, leaving him gravely wounded.

Lawrence was in worse shape, his upper body almost entirely scorched, his breath on the brink of extinction.

Despite dodging down, blocking most of the thunder, a Magic Crystal Cannon unfortunately exploded beside them.

Had they not reacted swiftly, both might’ve ended in Hell.

Now, they could consider it lucky.

Others had their bodies entirely charred.

Boom.

Rumble

Horses galloped.

Knights and slaves from Eagle Territory charged down.

The remaining people were quickly surrounded.

Facing such a vast force.

Many slaves first surrendered, prostrating on the ground.

Some knights attempted resistance.

But were quickly subdued by Steve and his men.

In the end, everyone was captured.

No one escaped.

The terrifying power of the Magic Crystal Cannon stunned everyone.

It also made the war end even quicker than anyone imagined.

From start to finish, it lasted less than a quarter-hour.

Everything was over.

Baron Pape Lawrence came with full confidence, believing it was the Goddess of Life’s blessing, yet found himself captured instead.

This outcome, he probably hadn’t even considered.

At the mining site.

Thor quickly received the news.

This time he didn’t lead the charge.

The enemy they faced wasn’t the cowardly goblins but a true Knight Order.

Despite the bombardment of Magic Crystal Cannons, accidents were always possible.

He definitely didn’t want any unexpected incidents for himself.

So he remained at the mining site to wait.

When Steve returned to report, Thor’s face inevitably showed joy.
