Chapter 535 - 313: Marquis Engle: Has the Spencer Family Lost Their Minds??
Registering a territory isn’t a very cumbersome task; one simply needs to present the map and scope to the Tulip King to complete the process. However, given the considerable distance between the Northern Province and the Royal Capital, it will likely take two to three months to fully finalize the territory.
But Thor is not in a hurry about this.
After arranging for someone to handle it,
he immediately began dealing with matters related to Eagle Territory.
The presence of numerous civil servants and the Chief Civil Servant has undoubtedly reduced his workload significantly.
But it’s not completely free of tasks.
Over the past half year, quite a few matters have accumulated.
Thor spent roughly a week addressing all the accumulated issues within the territory.
And once all accumulated matters were resolved, Thor immediately started focusing on the future prospects of the entire territory.
Although during the time of his return, he had already considered a lot, to thoroughly implement these ideas, he quickly embarked on a complete plan.
Inside the study.
Thor was busy.
And at this moment, the whole of Eagle Ridge began to stir.
Within the range Thor outlined, there are more than a hundred Pioneer Lords, as well as seven Barons who have been gradually ennobled.
To include these territories within the scope of Eagle Ridge requires discussions with these individuals.
Of course, this kind of discussion is only "nominal," as a Count and currently the factual Uncrowned King of the Northern Province, these individuals—whether Pioneer Lords or nobility, knights—have no choice.
Either choose to join Thor, or opt to receive a migratory compensation and move their territory.
Faced with this choice.
All seven Pioneer Nobility chose to migrate their territories.
Thor was quite straightforward, dispatching personnel from the Eagle Merchant Association to assist. Although they wouldn’t be given new territories like Baron Pape and Baron Joz Anubi, besides certain gold coin compensation, he offered a ten percent discount for purchases from the Eagle Merchant Association.
The seven Pioneer Nobility were extremely satisfied with this.
Though they have to leave their territory, the compensation Thor offered them was quite considerable.
Ordinarily, powerful nobility wouldn’t receive such generous treatment; at most, they’d merely get paid some gold coins.
Let alone assisting with the migration; they’d even have their migration times restricted.
Beyond the seven Pioneer Lords, among the hundred Pioneer Knights, more than ten decided to join Eagle Ridge after a brief contemplation.
For the Pioneer Knights joining Eagle Ridge, Thor promised them a future opportunity to be ennobled as Barons, and they would directly join the Eagle Knight Order.
The knightly orders were also reorganized.
Divided into four orders.
Namely, the Eagle Knight Order, Falcon Knight Order, Swift Eagle Knight Order, and the previously existing Eagle Cub Knight Order.
Among them, the Eagle Knight Order is the absolute main force. Thor’s initial plan was for it to comprise over five hundred members; to join the Eagle Knight Order, knights must have at least the strength of an Official Knight, while Falcon and Swift Eagle Knight Orders also have a scale of five hundred members, forming the secondary line, requiring at least an Apprentice Knight’s ability.
The Eagle Cub Knight Order has no personnel restrictions; graduates from the Knight Academy who pass the assessments can join.
Of course, this is just the plan, as the current number of knights in Eagle Ridge totals merely two thousand, this includes the personnel of Reserve Riders.
If counting only Apprentice Knight and above, the knight number in Eagle Ridge is less than five hundred, such a small number makes it difficult to form even one order.
But Thor is not worried about this.
With population growth and academy construction, feedback has already emerged during this period.
In addition, with the addition of these dozen Pioneer Knights, the number in the knightly orders will undoubtedly surge.
Thor does not need this to be completed in a day or two.
His vision is set on the construction plan for the next three years.
Inside the study.
The quill pen in Thor’s hand was writing slowly.
Beside him was Steve.
A week later, with the Top Knight’s Breathing Technique and three bottles of Mid-Level Life Potion, Steve finally crossed the threshold of Great Knight Peak and entered Earth Knight.
At this moment, he is still under forty years of age.
Even Steve himself felt a bit disoriented.
He never imagined that he could reach Earth Knight in his lifetime.
An Earth Knight, previously his greatest expectation was to merely break through to Great Knight Peak.
Yet at this moment, this unbelievable tier had already been reached.
Reflecting on his experiences up to this point, he felt increasingly grateful and hopeful towards Thor.
He knew that without Thor, there was simply no hope of reaching this stage.
"Steve, take a look at this!"
As he pondered, Thor’s voice resonated, passing over a sheet of paper.
"Alright, alright!"
Steve snapped back to reality and quickly accepted the paper Thor wrote.
His gaze naturally fell upon it.
With a single look, Steve’s eyes widened instantly, his gaze shifted towards Thor.
"How is it!"
Thor cheerfully spoke.
"Sir, this expenditure might exceed over tens of thousands of gold coins a year!"
