Chapter 540 - 315: Kingdom Turmoil, The Masses
The people examined while conversing with each other.
Soon, their conversation turned to Dressrosa.
Indeed, during this period, Dressrosa Family is the most legendary in the entire Tulip Kingdom.
More than a year ago, Dressrosa Family was merely a Count’s Clan, but first, Engel ascended to Sky Knight, then Dressrosa earned a massive amount of merit points in the Kingdom War.
Countless people couldn’t help but envy.
Naturally, this moment brought them to think about it.
However, these families soon discovered it was not so.
Because they didn’t notice any trace of Marquis Engle or actions from Dressrosa Family.
During this period, the entire Dressrosa Family has been busy expanding the eastern and northern territories.
This made the families look at each other in dismay.
They didn’t know what was happening for a moment.
Among these people’s doubts.
Some families naturally moved faster.
Such as those families occupying various resource points of the Spencer Family.
They took these resource points and went to visit Dressrosa Family.
During their visit, these families "willingly" offered a large number of resource points near Dressrosa to Dressrosa Family.
Especially the entire Qinghai Lake.
Many families directly stated they would transfer everything.
Faced with this "enthusiasm," Count Engel chuckled, but still accepted them one by one.
As for the downfall of Spencer Family.
While noticed by Dressrosa Family, they paid little attention to it.
Who made the move was not important.
The important part was after Spencer Family’s collapse, most of the benefits fell into Dressrosa Family’s hands, which was more than enough.
With a quarter of Xiyue Province’s territory, along with the controlled east and north areas, Dressrosa Family’s current territory far exceeds more than half of Marquis Family’s range, even larger than Spencer Family previously.
And this is enough to establish Dressrosa Family’s territory range.
A few days later, Marquis Engle sent Michael with a map to the kingdom for registration.
Half a month later.
Dressrosa Family’s territory was completely determined.
Xiyue Province, including Qinghai Lake, as well as the north, east and original family territories have all become Dressrosa’s new territory.
Compared to before, the current territory range has expanded more than threefold.
Meanwhile, the population within the territory began to surge drastically.
Spencer Family’s downfall allowed Marquis Engle to directly inherit a large population from Spencer Family, making Dressrosa Family’s expansion even simpler.
At the same time.
Numerous families in Xiyue Province were still striving to absorb residual benefits from Spencer Family’s downfall.
The conflicts inevitably spread again.
At the same time.
A dozen days after Spencer Family’s downfall, in the distance, Campbell Family quietly collapsed.
No one knows who made the move either.
Not caring who made the move.
In the current Kingdom War, where various nobles suffered heavy losses, the fall of two powerful Marquis Families undoubtedly compensates for many of their losses.
Such a result caused turmoil in various provinces of the kingdom to silently spread.
But at this moment, most of the nobility hasn’t noticed the turmoil.
Or rather, even if they noticed, no noble really cared.
After all, turmoil extends for a time after the annual Kingdom War.
This time, they felt it was no exception.
But no one knew that behind this turmoil, an invisible force was intertwining within the entire kingdom.
In a vast, dark cavern.
"Poof!"
Green flames rose up.
As the flames gradually brightened, figures in black robes appeared.
"How is the situation?"
A raspy voice echoed, the black robed man at the forefront glanced at a newly entered black robed figure.
"Xiyue Province has begun!"
"There are already three families resolved to join us!"
A deep voice spoke from the incoming black robed figure.
"Three, hm?"
"That’s not enough, we need more strength."
Leading the black robed man nodded slightly, then spoke in a deep tone again.
"Yes!"
The incoming figure responded respectfully.
"What about Nanyue Province, East Moon Province, and Frost Moon Province?"
After receiving a respectful response, the leading black robed man looked toward others, his raspy voice sounded again.
"Winter Moon Province, the nobles haven’t suffered much loss, our people have difficulty infiltrating, Nanyue Province, we’re in contact.
Along with the questioning voice, a black robed figure stepped forward from the crowd and respectfully spoke.
"Frost Moon Province, Dressrosa Family’s power already covers most of it, I’m trying to connect with Pat Family, but it will take time."
As a figure stepped forward to speak, soon another figure stepped up.
"Nanyue Province, pause for now, that old guy from Liepuer Clan isn’t so easy to handle."
"Ignore Winter Moon Province for now, I’ll personally head to Frost Moon."
After hearing the reports, the leading black robed man hesitated then spoke again.
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
Voices answered respectfully.
"Gentlemen, this is our chance, it’s an opportunity given by the Lord, soon the forces of the Two Great Empires will be too occupied to bother the continent, other kingdom’s people are already moving, the Lord is bound to descend to the mortal world, bring the light of Deities to earth, these filthy God Stealers will surely face divine punishment."
The black robed man’s raspy voice sounded again.
"The Lord shall descend to the mortal world!"
"The Lord shall descend to the mortal world!"
Voices from black robes echoed, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
Soon, in the cave, one by one the green flame lights went out.
And the black robed figures quickly vanished into darkness.
For all this, neither Marquis Engle nor Thor knew yet.
Although Thor has a daily intelligence system.
Sensible information is only refreshed when it pertains to his intelligence.
These people’s actions had nearly no impact on him, so it wasn’t present in his daily intelligence.
Merely some odd intelligence appeared sporadically.
But Thor was only curious briefly, then stopped paying attention.
After all, compared to these disconnected reports.
The development and construction of the territory were his real concerns.
Other matters didn’t attract him much now.
Time slowly passed amidst his busyness.
In the blink of an eye.
Two months had passed since returning to the territory.
The territory has been thoroughly established.
Numerous matters within the territory were being resolved one by one.
At the same time, his previously planned expansion was now underway.
Each day, the entire Eagle Ridge underwent rapid changes.
