On the high platform, Thor looked at the expressions of each peasant slave below, and a smile appeared on his face. This result was undoubtedly what he wanted. Before he returned, he did not act immediately; one reason was for preparation, the other was for information to ferment and spread.
After all, mobilizing a group of numb people is not easy.
But people who are ignited by hope are undoubtedly much easier to mobilize.
"With the Goddess of Life above, I will grant you a rebirth."
"You will again have the moments illuminated by the Goddess of Life's glory!"
"Today, I will launch an expedition against a goblin tribe. I promise anyone who kills three cowardly goblins in this expedition will have the chance to be freed from the identity of a peasant slave. If you kill ten goblins, I, the master of Eagle Ridge, not only promise to free you from being a peasant slave but also allow you to join the Preparatory Knight Order, giving you a chance to become a knight."
"Will you fight alongside me?"
Thor's voice echoed, amplified by the Life Source Power, into everyone's ears.
With his words, the eyes of all three thousand five hundred people instantly turned red.
Especially the three thousand in the back.
Even the five hundred in the front were not much better off.
Although Thor previously promised that sufficient hard work would provide an opportunity to escape the identity of a peasant slave,
how long that would take and how it would be achieved, everything was uncertain.
This time, they were given a complete process.
And conditions that could certainly be met.
Three cowardly goblins.
As long as they could kill them, they could free themselves from being peasant slaves.
Although this required fighting,
it was merely cowardly goblins, and no one was too afraid.
They even saw it as an achievable goal.
Especially since the Lord made a promise that if they could kill ten cowardly goblins, they could even join the Preparatory Knight Order and have the chance to become knights.
This result made everyone restless.
A knight is someone who truly has the possibility of becoming nobility.
The key to achieving class ascent in this world.
Such conditions, once released, would drive even the Free People mad, let alone peasant slaves.
Eagle Ridge at this moment was just like that.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Willing to battle with the master."
Three thousand five hundred people shouted thunderously, and each breath became heavy.
"Good!"
"I, the master of Eagle Ridge, have heard your responses."
"May the Goddess of Life shine upon you!"
Thor nodded, then waved.
In the next moment, the Preparatory Knights quickly distributed the weapons Thor had previously purchased in Loren City.
Buying these weapons cost him quite a few gold coins.
However, these expenditures were necessary for the present moment.
Weapons were distributed, making all three thousand five hundred peasant slaves, including previously liberated Free People, excited and thrilled.
"Depart!"
Seeing the hopeful and excited gazes, Thor drew his Knight's Sword, speaking out.
In this moment, he was high-spirited.
Already seeing his victory.
One Great Knight.
Over thirty Official Knights.
More than a hundred Apprentice Knights, two hundred Preparatory Knights.
And three thousand five hundred peasant slaves.
Facing only five to six thousand cowardly goblins, he couldn't even imagine the possibility of defeat.
He was even confident, with the help of Molten Fire Oil, to leave all the goblins behind.
Thoroughly eliminating future troubles.
The troops set out mightily.
Targeting the large cowardly goblin tribe location.
Dozens of miles away, they approached that large cowardly goblin tribe location by the second day.
Thor waved his hand, stopping everyone.
He then swiftly ordered.
Instructing three thousand people to begin surrounding the large cowardly goblin tribe in a fan shape.
His preparation method was simple.
That is to use the main Knight Order to launch a direct assault on the large goblin tribe, then ignite the entire large cowardly goblin tribe with Molten Fire Oil, creating massive chaos after breaking through, and then to slaughter.
With four hundred Knights directly slaughtering and three thousand five hundred peasant slaves engaging in outlying encirclement, as long as the action was swift enough, they could ensure not a single cowardly goblin escapes.
"Reine, I leave these people to you!"
"I will assign three knights, thirty Apprentice Knights, one hundred Preparatory Knights to follow your orders, do not let me down."
Thor spoke, looking at Reine beside him.
"Yes, Master!"
Reine nodded, excitement visible on his face.
This was his first time leading a Knight Order, and there were also more than three thousand peasant slaves, which represented the Lord's immense trust in him.
Tension mixed with excitement.
"Steve!"
After instructing, Thor's gaze turned to Steve.
"Master!"
Steve responded respectfully.
"Check the supplies, examine the Molten Fire Oil, we move out in two hours."
Thor quickly issued an order.
"Yes!"
Steve nodded promptly.
Then.
Steve and Reine swiftly moved into action.
Reine led over three thousand people and began to spread out around.
While Steve began checking supplies and equipment.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
Thor swiftly mounted his warhorse.
Two hundred knights similarly mounted their horses.
"Victory is certain!"
Thor's voice rang out.
"Victory is certain!"
"Victory is certain!"
The collective voice of two hundred people echoed from behind.
In the next moment, two hundred people roared forward like a gale, directly towards the distant large goblin tribe.
Boom.
Rumble.
The charge of more than two hundred knights made the ground tremble violently.
A few miles were crossed quickly.
The massive commotion.
Soon alerted the cowardly goblins.
In a mine chamber.
Goblin after goblin gathered, each one significantly more robust than an average cowardly goblin.
At the very center, a larger cowardly goblin held a staff, eyes closed in meditation.
At that moment.
A panicked goblin rushed in.
"Something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
"Something bad has happened!"
"Humans have come!"
"Humans!"
The cowardly goblin ran in with panic and a touch of terror.
Instantly causing all the cowardly goblins in the chamber to panic.
Goblins are the lowest of the beastmen, almost food-like in the Beastman Tribe, and when facing humans, they are almost destined to be slaughtered by humans.
Even the Goblin Leader became flustered upon hearing about humans.
