Chapter 531 - 311: Territory Future Development Plan 3.0
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
"Lord!"
As Thor and his group approached, a chorus of voices rang out, with excitement spreading across the faces of Steve, Pelos, Marco, and Joseph.
"Thank you all for your hard work during this time!"
Thor dismounted, smiling as he addressed Steve and the others.
"You flatter us, my Lord!"
"Yes, you flatter us, my Lord!"
"This wasn’t hard work at all!"
Steve, Pelos, and the others quickly replied.
Then, under the guidance of the crowd, the group returned to Eagle City.
When the group entered Eagle City, the grand convoy appeared, instantly stirring the city into a frenzy.
Especially when the commoners, slaves, and knights of Eagle City saw Thor, a flush of excitement spread through them.
Life in Eagle City was something they could never have imagined before.
Even here, the slaves weren’t as miserable as they had imagined, filled instead with boundless hope. In Eagle City, they just needed to earn enough merit points to become Free People, and Free People could further their studies at Eagle City’s academy through merit points.
By then, whether they became civil servants or preparatory knights, it would be the best future.
If luck was on their side and they became pharmacists or apprentice knights, their entire family could advance.
The Lord went to partake in the Kingdom War, and anyone who knew about the Kingdom War couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear.
They feared that their Lord, after participating in the Kingdom War, might not return.
If so, the life they had might revert to its original dire state.
Until recently, the arrival of Lord Tono slightly eased their hearts.
But that was only a bit of relief. As long as Thor hadn’t returned, everyone was anxious.
At this moment, that anxiety finally dissipated.
And after the anxiety vanished, there was nothing but celebration.
The entire Eagle City was engulfed in unprecedented excitement.
Thor and his group, on their way to the castle, were met with the excited voices of Free People and slaves.
Even Thor couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of emotion at this scene.
In three years, he had finally firmly established himself here.
"My Lord, everyone was eagerly anticipating your return."
Pelos couldn’t help but express, even though he had followed Marquis Engel, he had never seen a Lord wield such high prestige in his territory. The Dressrosa Family was already quite good, yet Pelos still felt it couldn’t compare to Eagle Ridge at this moment.
He had no doubt that if their Lord issued a command, the entire Eagle Ridge, from the Knight Order to the slaves, could be completely mobilized.
Moreover, this wouldn’t be a forced mobilization, even the slaves could mobilize voluntarily.
This kind of capability was not something any nobility he knew possessed.
"Hahaha, it seems you’ve managed things quite well during this time."
"Especially Joseph, it’s largely thanks to you during this period."
Thor nodded with a smile, glancing around, then praised everyone.
In these three years, it had to be said that this group under his command had unquestionably been truly tested.
Be it Steve, Pelos, or the civil servants, they were the same.
Joseph had nearly adapted to managing the entire Eagle Ridge.
"My Lord, you overestimate me. This is what I should do."
"Being able to manage the territory for you is my honor."
Joseph replied respectfully, his complexion slightly flushed.
"Hahaha!"
Thor nodded with a smile.
Then the group returned to the castle amid a blend of voices.
After more than half a year, the castle hadn’t changed much since Thor left.
Under the service of the maid, Thor completed his grooming.
He then went to the study.
It had been nearly half a year since he left Eagle Ridge, and he needed to quickly understand the current situation of the entire Eagle Ridge, the Northern Province, and the Northern Territory.
As Thor entered the study.
Steve, Pelos, Joseph, and even a dusty figure were present.
"Hahaha, Rajos, you actually came too."
Seeing the dusty figure, Thor couldn’t help but smile.
"My Lord, I apologize, there were some issues with the merchant association that delayed me. I should have returned to Eagle Ridge yesterday and missed welcoming you today."
Rajos Assad apologized.
"Don’t worry about it!"
"It’s not a big deal."
Thor waved it off, not caring too much about it.
To him, whether there was a welcome or not didn’t matter much, especially since he knew Rajos had his hands full with significant matters.
The territory, the Eagle Merchant Association.
As well as the western and northern development.
These were all issues that Rajos Assad had to handle.
That he managed to be here today was already quite commendable.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Rajos Assad breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, facing Thor, he felt an even heavier pressure.
This made him somewhat tense.
"Joseph, tell me about the recent situation of the territory!"
After conversing with Rajos Assad, Thor then turned his gaze towards Joseph.
"My Lord, currently, the expansion of Eagle City is 97% complete, with 3% remaining, which we should be able to finish within the year. The population of the entire Eagle City should be around fifty-six thousand. Moreover, Falcon City has also begun construction, anticipated to be completed within three years......"
