Thor has thought a lot about how to obtain iron ore. The simplest way is to return to the Dressrosa family and ask his father for help. The value of a large-scale iron ore is not small, and even an ordinary count will be tempted. , I believe that my father is also extremely happy to obtain the mining rights of a large-scale iron mine.
However, such thoughts only appeared for a moment.
and was quickly suppressed by him.
It's not that he couldn't bear to part with it.
There are many reasons.
On the one hand, as a pioneer knight, he is not allowed to return to the family before he becomes a baron, and the family will not provide continued support.
Relying on a large iron mine, his father, Count Engel Dressrosa, will indeed provide support.
It will undoubtedly lower his evaluation of him.
On the other hand, it's just a large iron mine. It's not that he can't win it. The only problem is how to deal with those thousands of goblins. For such a small problem, he has to seek help from his father. Then what will happen next? What to do with the construction of the territory that comes down.
As soon as something goes wrong, just rely on the family, and that's nothing.
Count Engel Dressrosa has given him a lot. This time, he wants to rely on his own ability to solve the problem.
However, if you want to solve it, there are many problems.
As mentioned before, how to keep most or even all of the thousands of goblins behind is a big problem.
Timid Goblin, generally extremely timid.
His more than 400 knights are sure to defeat thousands of timid large goblin tribes, but it is obviously impossible to keep them all, and it is even impossible to keep most of them.
As long as there are enough Goblins escaping, information about the large iron mine will inevitably be leaked. Due to its proximity to Loren City, although the large iron mine will not attract high-level orcs, even some low-level orcs or other goblins can attracted, it was enough to give him a headache.
Only by eliminating a large number of goblins, reducing the number of escaped goblins to a small number, and eliminating the possibility of information being leaked as much as possible, can he have time to develop stably.
How to solve it is indeed a problem.
After thinking about it for a long time, Thor didn't think of any good method.
Until I saw the fanatical serfs at work, an idea inevitably appeared.
That's right, they are serfs.
Timid Goblins belong to the lowest level of orcs, and are considered the weakest existence among the Goblin tribe. They are almost food for other Goblins. This kind of existence can be dealt with by even an average adult man with a weapon. Two or three.
Since there are too many goblins, why not mobilize enough serfs.
Thousands of goblins.
If there were thousands of serfs, plus four hundred members of the Knights, it would be enough to completely strangle these goblins.
It doesn't even need too much, just five thousand, maybe even three thousand, to completely kill these goblins with great confidence.
The price of three thousand serfs is only three hundred gold coins.
He can certainly afford this value.
Although a large amount of materials were purchased and a large amount of gold coins were spent on territory construction, the number of gold coins at this moment is still thousands, which is completely enough for purchase.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.
Called Steve again.
Even called Ren over.
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
The two of them saluted quickly, with respectful expressions.
"Ren, go prepare and select a few formal knights. In addition, take all the trainee knights with you. I am going to go to Loren City to purchase some supplies. You can follow me."
"Steve, while I'm away, the construction of the territory will be left to you."
After speaking, Thor quickly conveyed his order.
"yes!"
"yes!"
Steve and Ren nodded quickly.
It doesn't make any sense.
"By the way, Steve, go find Alice and ask her to give you the contents of the second cabinet in my room. I hope you can become a great knight when I come back."
"Yes!" "Thank you, sir!"
"I will not let you down!"
Steve spoke quickly, unable to help but feel a little excited.
Although he didn't know what the lord wanted to give him, the lord's words made him understand that it was definitely a good thing, and even something that could help him break through.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Over this period of time, relying on the daily intelligence system, Thor also collected a lot of good things.
Like his father, he stored these things one by one.
In the so-called second cabinet, there is a sacred tree fruit.
He obtained it more than ten days ago.
With this sacred tree fruit, Steve has a high probability of breaking through to the Great Knight before he returns.
As long as the opponent can break through to the Great knight, his confidence will undoubtedly be improved again.
As for Alice, that one has become a qualified "maid", and Thor has no intention of exposing her, but lets her continue to pretend like this.
After all, in this month, the changes in the half-elf girl were extremely satisfactory to him.
I believe that it won't take long for this half-elf girl to be completely conquered by him.
He was in no hurry.
Thoughts are flowing.
Steve and Ren left quickly.
Half an hour later.
The personnel have been assembled.
Thor took Ren and hundreds of knights and set off again.
Target Loren City.
This time Thor not only plans to buy serfs, but also needs to buy some supplies.
In one month, a lot of supplies were consumed, and a certain amount of replenishment was needed.
The people and horses are mighty.
Departing from the Maine River Valley and aiming for the city of Loren.
Compared with the nearly ten days of walking when we arrived, the return to Loren City was undoubtedly much faster.
On almost the fifth day, everyone had already seen the outline of Loren City.
After all, he had brought 500 serfs and a large amount of supplies before, so the speed of his movement was obviously greatly hindered. But this time when he returned, without these, the speed was completely different.
Even if there is no intention to speed up, if we speed up, maybe three days will be enough to cover the distance and reach the city of Loren.
It's just not necessary.
The sixth day.
The group of people entered the city of Loren.
Compared to more than a month ago, Loren City seems to be more lively now.
I don't know whether it is due to the increase in the number of pioneer knights or some other reason.
Of course these have nothing to do with Thor.
The only difference is that his figure stepped forward and attracted more people's attention.
At dusk, lines of sight converged.
"Oh my god, that's the symbol of the Dressrosa family!"
"Yeah, I know it, that eagle logo."
"As expected of the Count family, its pioneering knights have so many knights following them."
There were voices ringing next to my ears, and there were sounds of exclamation from time to time.
Of course there is also indifference and hostility among the wonder.
