Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 541 - 316: The Assessment Begins

The unrest is beginning to spread, and the hidden rats in the underground, along with this Kingdom War, have caused all the great kingdoms to suffer heavy losses, and are now emerging one after another. A meticulously planned scheme has quietly commenced after waiting for centuries.

The spread affects not just the Tulip Kingdom but involves all kingdoms across the continent, outside the Two Great Empires.

It extends beyond the kingdoms on the continent.

Even beyond the continent, forces are starting to emerge.

A gigantic storm is about to sweep through.

It is foreseeable that if this upheaval goes unchecked, it might engulf more than half of the continent.

But at this moment, no one knows this yet.

Eagle Ridge.

Thor kept busy with the territory construction matters, two months had passed.

Most of the issues have been handled.

A brand new Merit System was also concluded after two months of refinement.

At the same time, the second batch of people from Marquis Engel has been transported over, bringing the number of people in Eagle Ridge to over 150,000.

When the third batch arrives, the population should even break through 200,000, reaching the level of a typical Count.

Of course, even with a population of 200,000, it is still insignificant compared to his vast territory, so during this period, he has already sent personnel to Nanyue Province to negotiate with the Liepuer Clan, to see if they could directly connect with the Liepuer Clan for slave trade dealings.

If completed, his population should take another leap.

As for the Assad Family, he naturally chose to give it up.

However, Thor is not someone who burns bridges; he not only gives the other side a chance to get involved in the Northern Province, but also purchases shares in their slave trade through shares in the Eagle Merchant Association.

The Assad Family had no major objections to this.

They readily agreed.

After all, the Assad Family clearly understands that with the current capability of Thor Dressrosa and the Dressrosa Family, their presence is already insignificant. For Thor to still offer them benefits in the Eagle Merchant Association is already astonishing.

They, of course, could not fail to realize a good opportunity.

Of course, this share could not compare to what they had before.

The Assad Family ultimately only received a two percent stake.

Nevertheless, even with that, the Assad Family was extremely satisfied.

After all, the Eagle Merchant Association’s annual revenue is already over 500,000 Gold Coins, and two percent of that exceeds 10,000 Gold Coins annually.

And this is but a start; it can be anticipated that as the Dressrosa Family develops, this figure will continue to grow. Reaching a million Gold Coins a year might be problematic, but 700,000 to 800,000 Gold Coins certainly is not.

This represents more than 15,000 Gold Coins a year.

Such a large amount of Gold Coins, even for the Assad Family engaged in the slave trade, few of their ventures yield such profits.

In this regard, they are not at a loss.

And Thor is likewise not at a loss.

Even though his strength has greatly improved and the Dressrosa Family has soared in status.

One thing cannot be ignored: the Dressrosa Family’s development time is still too short. From their arrival at the Tulip Kingdom and becoming a Baron, to now, it has only been a little over 300 years.

In just over 300 years of development, the Dressrosa Family in the Tulip Kingdom, both in terms of foundation and accumulation, cannot compare to the truly top-level Count’s Clan. Compared to the Assad Family’s foundation, there’s a huge disparity.

Bringing the Assad Family into the Eagle Merchant Association system is enough to help Thor swiftly complete the establishment of a merchant association.

And indeed, that is the case.

The Assad Family has undoubtedly taken the Eagle Merchant Association development to another level.

At the same time, more resources are rapidly being filled to address original shortages.

The main reason the Eagle Merchant Association’s market share was squeezed was because various supplies couldn’t keep up.

After all, compared to those powerful nobles, neither Thor nor the Dressrosa Family had such comprehensive resources.

Even if he could connect with top nobles for talks, it takes time.

Every second’s loss of Gold Coins is immense.

Now, the rapid replenishment by the Assad Family is undoubtedly the best outcome.

In the study.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Thor sifted through the letters in his hand, his right hand gently tapping on the table.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

"Seems like father, they’re really fast to act!"

With a light chuckle, Thor’s face wore a smile.

This is the letter given to him by his father, Marquis Engel, mainly discussing the current development of the Dressrosa Family and the annihilation of the Spencer Family.

It was no surprise to Thor that his father indeed chose the original Dressrosa Family territory.

But what surprised him was the ease with which his father succeeded.

Not only did he seize a large amount of territory in the East and North.

The West, including the 200-mile area around Qinghai Lake, also became part of the Dressrosa Family’s domain.

The Spencer Family, in such silence, was completely wiped out.

It didn’t even cause much of a stir.
