Rajos Assadâs initial target was merely the few Lords within a hundred miles of Tono Territory, just as Thor had anticipated, when Rajos Assad arrived with a large convoy, each Pioneer Lord was first in a panic.
After all, such power was already sufficient to easily annihilate them.
Even though Rajos quickly explained it was just trade, those Lords were still cautious.
Only after truly completing the trade and watching Rajos Assad leave did these Lords finally breathe a sigh of relief.
And after they breathed this sigh of relief, the items obtained through trade made their eyes shine with excitement.
He had never thought he could obtain such items at home.
Suddenly, many Lords even started to look forward to Rajos Assadâs next visit.
In this situation.
In less than a dozen days, Rajos Assad opened the trade routes around the Pioneer Lords, and the next step was just to stabilize, thoroughly perfecting this trade route.
When the news came back.
Whether it was Thor, Tono, or Barbus, their expressions involuntarily carried a hint of joy.
"It seems this descendant of the Assad family is indeed remarkable!"
Tono couldnât help but exclaim, his expression praising as he looked toward Thor.
Thorâs subordinates were so talented, it made him feel envious.
Not only did he have talents like Reine, who possessed great power and talent, but he could also win over Rajos, a descendant of the Assad family.
If previously he just thought Thorâs future was limitless, now he was certain.
"Indeed, it wonât be long before this person opens up all the surrounding trade routes."
Barbus also nodded in agreement, showing admiration.
"Brother, Sir Barbus, then I will leave the matters here to the two of you."
"I should return to my territory!"
Thor said with a smile.
With the trade routes opened, the next steps were construction, which didnât require his constant presence here.
He naturally prepared to return.
Eagle Territory still had many matters needing his attention.
"So soon?"
Tono was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, there are still many matters in the territory, and I havenât had the chance to inform Father about my enfeoffment as a Baron."
"Planning to settle down for a while, then make a trip back."
Thor explained with a smile.
"I see!"
"Indeed, itâs time for a return trip!"
"I had also planned to go back, but it seems I canât leave now. Guess Iâll have to wait until next time!"
"By the way, if you are returning, best wait until the Kingdomâs second batch of reinforcements arrives and see if the Northern Province can stabilize."
Tono nodded, then seemed to think of something and added.
"The Kingdomâs second batch of reinforcements?"
Thor was puzzled.
"Yes, not sure what happened, but the Kingdomâs forces seem to have been drawn away. They were supposed to arrive a few days ago, but they should be here soon, within these days."
"Letâs see the situation then."
"If we canât hold, donât return for now, otherwise if the territory suffers any losses, that would be serious."
Tono nodded, seriously advising.
"Alright!"
"I understand!"
Thor nodded.
He didnât disagree with this, originally planning to leave when the situation stabilized.
Waiting for the Kingdomâs reinforcement information this time wasnât an issue.
"Good, as long as you understand!"
"Take care!"
Tono spoke, not trying to keep him further.
As a Lord, the most important thing is the territory.
He certainly wouldnât forcibly keep Thor here.
If any issue arose in Eagle Territory, it would be no joking matter.
The three then said their farewells.
At the farewell, Tono initially planned to gift Thor a few Official Knights, but Thor refused, as his brother spent over a decade building up this little power, he didnât plan to take it away.
Yet, he refused, so Tono ultimately gifted Thor a hundred Reserve Riders.
Barbus gifted him an exquisite Knightâs Sword instead.
Thor intended to refuse, but under Tonoâs insistence, he had no choice but to accept.
Compared to when he came, there were more people returning.
Although he arranged some in Rajosâ convoy, with the addition of a hundred Reserve Riders, the numbers naturally exceeded before.
And whether it was an illusion or not.
The returning journey seemed noticeably more stable.
They didnât even encounter any Beastman Tribes.
And as Thor returned to his territory.
The Northern Province, northern region.
Before the massive garrison.
The battle continued to spread relentlessly.
The Kingdomâs second batch of reinforcements delayed their arrival, and at the garrison, each Knight, each Noble, even Duke Kalenina and Marquis Reman felt a heavy feeling inside.
They even prepared for the collapse of the Northern Defense Line.
However, as days passed, while the Northern Defense Line was still continually assailed by Beastman Tribes, the imagined increasingly fierce Beastman assaults hadnât arrived, instead, things seemed to have maintained at a relatively stable phase.
Though there were many Beastman Tribes, they appeared insufficient to completely destroy Tulip Kingdomâs defenses.
Of course, while not able to fully breach Tulip Kingdomâs direction, the war was increasingly stalemated.
Even over a single day, Magic Crystal Cannons could be scrapped over ten units.
