Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 526 - 308: From Today On, Becoming a Count and Returning to the Territory (Part 2)

Moreover, it’s not just any ordinary transition.

It’s a true leap in class.

A marquis title, which doesn’t seem far away, among the twenty-some noble marquis families, apart from the seven powerful marquises and the three top-level marquises, the other marquises may not be excessively frightening.

At least the Dressrosa Family, and the Assad Family, which were previously top-level Count’s Clans, can basically compare to some weaker marquises.

However, a count is ultimately just a count, and there is still a significant difference compared to a marquis family.

To step into a marquis family is to truly reach the upper echelon of a kingdom.

Only then can one obtain many unimaginable benefits.

These are not benefits that a Count’s Clan can obtain.

Therefore, even at great cost, everyone desires to complete this transition.

But the difficulty of this step is almost akin to ascension.

If a count wants to ascend to a marquis family, they first need three million points of merit, and secondly, they need to have major achievements in the Kingdom War.

Three million points of merit are enough to make any marquis family raise an eyebrow, let alone families below the rank of marquis.

As for major achievements in the Kingdom War, as mentioned before, the difficulty is equally daunting.

Just like this time, through the whole Kingdom War, currently, only Count Engle has managed to ascend to marquis, even the previously extremely powerful Assad Family hasn’t been able to obtain such a huge number of merit points.

Other families are even more so.

Boom.

Boom.

Thunderous.

Hundreds of Magic Crystal Cannons under the morning sun once again burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

And under these dazzling beams,

The ennoblement ceremony was announced to have concluded.

From now on, Engel Dresrosa becomes a marquis of the kingdom.

Thor Dressrosa becomes a count.

After attending several banquets in the Royal Capital.

Thor and Marquis Engle both decided to return to their territories.

After all, it’s been quite a while since they left their lands.

Now, the return of a large number of nobles.

Along with the significant loss of nobles in the Kingdom War, the coming times are destined to be tumultuous.

They must return to their territory to make preparations.

Especially Thor, who has ascended to count, needs to quickly determine his territorial boundaries, and then register it within the kingdom to truly become a territorial count in the true sense.

Fortunately.

In these few days, whether it’s Count Engle or the resources Thor exchanged, have mostly arrived in full.

In the early morning.

Carriages gathered at the gates of the Royal Capital.

Thor’s carriages numbered over two hundred.

These are all that he exchanged within the kingdom merit points.

And Marquis Engle’s carriages exceeded more than five hundred.

The gathering of these two groups was vast, stretching out over many miles.

Such a grand convoy.

Caused the entering nobles to be somewhat astonished.

"My goddess, whose nobility is this!"

"This, how many people must there be!"

"Eagle, is it possible this is the Dressrosa Family!"

"Oh my, are they just now returning to their territory, how much resources have they exchanged."

"Hehe, you might not know this, but in this Kingdom War, the most dazzling was the Dressrosa Family."

"You know the Eagle Merchant Association of the Northern Territory, which belongs to the Dressrosa Family, and it’s said their lord obtained five million merit points."

"That’s nothing; it’s said Count Engle, no, now should be Marquis Engle, obtained eleven million merit points."

"My goddess, how are there so many merit points."

"Indeed, my dear uncle, as a count, seems to have obtained less than three thousand merit points."

"This can’t be real, right?!"

"Not real? You must be kidding; the merit points of the Dressrosa Family, countless nobles in the kingdom have seen them. Ask around the Royal Capital and you will know."

"This, this!"

Voices mixed together, eyes wide with disbelief.

Along the way, Thor and the entourage of Marquis Engle unquestionably attracted more attention.

Many nobles were either envious, shocked, greedy, or had strange expressions.

This time the merchandise was abundant.

And only a few nobles knew the true strength of Marquis Engle and Thor.

Among the three top marquises, only Marquis Mackendy, the Sorol Marquis Family knew some; besides them, only the Three Great Duke Families did.

Other families were unaware.

In this Kingdom War, losses among the nobles exceeded forty percent.

Such a loss is extremely severe.

In normal circumstances, it could cause some nobles to fall permanently.

At this moment, the Dressrosa Family’s enormous wealth naturally aroused thoughts.

However, since they are located inland within the kingdom, no one dares to act rashly for now.

Additionally, the massive merit obtained by the Dressrosa Family caused many nobles to be vigilant and apprehensive.

Their strength was already severely impacted by the Kingdom War, losing more would indeed be troublesome.

And with eyes watching cautiously and apprehensive hearts.

The Dressrosa Family entourage smoothly returned to the Frost Moon Province.

Without encountering a single unexpected incident.

Even Marquis Engle was a bit surprised, truthfully, he was already prepared for an attack.

This time they brought an immense fortune.

Such large-scale exchanges are hard to keep hidden.

Marquis Engle has no doubt, his exchange list has probably been known to many nobles.

Possessing just a portion of these items would be enough to allow some powerful marquis families to restore a significant amount of vitality.

Not to mention he has three bottles of High-Level Life Potion, and three bottles of High-Level Recovery Potion.

This was directly gifted by the Tulip King.

These would tempt not just powerful marquis families, but even top marquis families.

Yet nothing has happened.

Though surprised, Marquis Engle quickly noticed Thor.

"Thor, you must be careful in the coming days; returning to the Northern Province may not be peaceful."

"I’ll have Michael lead a Knight Order to escort you."

Marquis Engle said with a low voice.

Those nobles not acting may have Thor as their target alone.

Compared to him, Thor looked like easy prey.

And no one knows what Thor’s strength has reached.

Only the highest-ranking nobility knows, and they won’t leak it.

"No worries, father, I understand."

"As for Uncle Michael, there’s no need, father, you should focus on the expansion of the territory."

Thor shook his head, not paying much heed to Marquis Engle’s caution.

Because he was aware of these matters before leaving the kingdom, even noted in daily reports.

But he was no longer the same as he initially was.

Not to mention his strength has reached the level of a Half-Step Sanctuary, even Reine’s strength isn’t something ordinary Sky Knights could match.

Not just the ordinary nobility, even if a top Marquis Family came, he wouldn’t be fazed.
