Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#168 - The Spirit of the Peak and the Chance of Victory

When Su Li said this, he originally wanted to shut the animal master up.

But when he heard it say that it could really provide a batch of high-level mounts, Su Li instantly perked up and asked, "You can provide me with a batch of high-level mounts?"

"That's right!" The animal master arrogantly sat in the middle of the pasture with its four limbs on the ground, and said, "I have a very high affinity with rams. If you can give me enough divine substances, such as the Love Potion, I can make your sheep produce more powerful battle rams."

"How about it? The breeding period of battle rams is faster, about five months, and you will have a new batch of battle ram lambs. In a year or two, these battle rams can form a powerful cavalry for you. This is one of the favorite mounts of halflings and dwarves."

Su Li asked calmly: "As long as I give you enough divine substance?"

The animal master's eyes were a little greedy, and he immediately said: "That's right, that's right. You just need to put the Love Potion back in Rhea's sacrificial site, which is the stone array composed of a circle of stone tablets in the southeast corner of the ranch."

Su Li instantly understood that this animal master was greedy for his Love Potion, but he, Su Li, also wanted this thing!

Being able to exude a powerful charm is the ultimate enhanced version of perfume. Which man has never fantasized about exuding fatal charm, so that women can't control themselves and take off their clothes when they see him?

He has been getting closer to the champion female knight Freya recently, but this female knight is not interested in secular power. She is a member of the church knight order and is very wealthy. Su Li's status as a lord has almost no impact on her.

To win this champion female knight, it all depends on personal charm.

However, this champion female knight is very proud, and looks at most people like garbage.

Su Li wanted to win her over to relieve the pressure of the female courtiers' cultivation at night, but the process was a bit bumpy and not very smooth.

A female knight who is obsessed with cultivation and becoming stronger, her heart is almost without ripples. No matter how flamboyant a man is, like a peacock spreading its tail, she has no erotic thoughts.

This first level has stuck most men. Without a dazzling temperament, they can't even enter her eyes, how can they proceed further?

So Su Li also desperately needs this love potion, at least to make this champion female knight pay attention to him, so that he can get along with her, and then develop feelings over time.

"Don't even think about the Love Potion, but I can provide you with a lot of divine substance. Three days later, at noon, will be the moment when Tar's divinity is strongest. Tar's wildness will grow in the fertile pasture, and I will order the herdsmen to harvest more pasture for you. Guarantee your inheritance and let all the herds bathe in divine grace, and strive to have the most wildness spread in their bodies, and the phenomenon of returning to their ancestors."

After speaking, Su Li said to Fandal and Lunadesan at the same time: "You also need to strengthen your preparations in this regard. Three days later will be the climax of Tar's divine tide. At noon, there will be a lot of divinity in the pasture. As long as the livestock eat enough, there will definitely be a phenomenon of returning to their ancestors. You should prepare well."

Lunadesan widened her eyes in surprise. She was Tar's maid, but she could only vaguely feel the gradual increase of Tar's divinity, and could not determine when the climax of Tar's divine tide would be.

And the lord could predict the time so accurately?

Fandal had no doubts. He had seen too many times the lord's predictions, and deeply believed that the lord was the all-knowing information of the Black Forest Territory, the prophet and guiding star of the entire territory.

So he immediately said: "Our Dawn Church's priests and nuns will all come here at that time to communicate with the herds and let them maintain their physical strength in the morning and eat with all their strength at noon to obtain Tar's wildness."

Even at the climax of Tar's divine tide, there will not be too much of Tar's wildness in the pasture. This is the moment to win by quantity. Which livestock eats more, which ones are more likely to obtain more divinity and trigger the phenomenon of returning to their ancestors.

Su Li also arranged in detail: "You must also make plans in advance to disperse the herds and ensure that each herd has a fertile pasture to avoid them crowding together to compete for resources."

"We will strive to make meticulous preparations and strive to obtain more of Tar's divine grace at that moment."

Su Li's unceremonious communication with the two priests completely made the animal master anxious: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Human lord, you can't be so arbitrary and dictatorial! You don't even ask me what I want this Love Potion for? You're delaying my important event!"

Su Li glanced at it. What is the purpose of a man, no, a male wanting this potion? Do you still need to guess?

Don't be dominated by the beautiful name of Love Potion.

In a man's heart, the position of love can only occupy a corner! Domination of power, war horses, and imperial hegemony, which one is not more important than love? There are not many people who love beauty and not the country since ancient times, and each one has become a joke in the eyes of other men.

After all, with the country, you can protect the beauty. Loving beauty and not the country, the final outcome is often that the country is lost and the beauty cannot be protected.

In the final analysis, it is a question of domination.

So this Love Potion is mostly a means for men to dominate the opposite sex.

The animal master became uncharacteristically clever at this time, and directly felt his thoughts from the indifferent expression on Su Li's face.

He quickly said: "I want to use this potion to dominate the opposite sex, but not the livestock in your territory. Have you never thought about why I wander in the Scarlet Highlands?"

Huh?

The animal master's question finally aroused Su Li's contemplation.

This is indeed a bit suspicious. The acquisition of each natural spirit in the territory is based on certain conditions before it appears around the territory.

Only this animal master appeared a bit abruptly. It was the intelligence that told Su Li that it had been wandering in the Scarlet Highlands.

Then Su Li used a lot of manpower and material resources to forcibly find him.

So thinking about it carefully, the location of its appearance is indeed a bit strange.

So Su Li gave it a face and asked along with it: "Then why are you wandering near the Scarlet Highlands?"

"I'm looking for the Peak Spirit!"

"Peak Spirit?" Su Li looked at Fandal: "What is this?"

As an old druid of hundreds of years old, Fandal was knowledgeable and immediately replied: "This is considered a spirit of the wilderness, not controlled by the Dawn Church. Perhaps Priest Lunadesan has more knowledge."

Lunadesan explained proactively at this time: "That's right, this is a type of wilderness spirit recorded in our Tar Church. It lives between snow mountains and plateaus, and is a creature composed of rocks and ice from mountain peaks, with sharp crystal spikes and a flowing snow-white body."

Su Li asked with concern: "Then what abilities does it have? Can it help us develop the territory?"

Lunadesan shook her head and said: "The Peak Spirit is a wilderness spirit not controlled by humans. Its abilities are very wild. It can exhale cold air with [Breath of Frost], making the ground stiff, or use [Rockfall] to cause landslides and submerge enemies. Of course, it also has a passive ability of [Peak Leap], which can jump lightly between mountain peaks, almost ignoring gravity."

Su Li's eyes flashed with surprise and asked: "This Peak Spirit, wouldn't it be in the form of an antelope?"

The animal master rarely showed a hint of shyness, lowered his head and said softly: "The heart of beauty, spirits cannot avoid it. The beautiful snow-white Peak Spirit is the spirit most appreciated by our animal masters. Is it only allowed for you humans, animals, and even beastmen to have partners, but our natural spirits cannot have close partners?"

"We are the people of Rhea and Tar, and we naturally yearn for love, wildness, and reproduction."

Su Li raised his eyebrows. These ancient god believers all have primitive desires. Under the guidance of these two gods, they pay attention to the beauty of love and the meaning of reproduction.

He understood the animal master's eagerness to move, but asked curiously: "You want to find the Peak Spirit, what are you doing in the Scarlet Highlands? Why don't you enter the Gray Mountains?"

The animal master immediately replied: "The areas they usually live in are too high, on snow-capped peaks of 6,000 to 8,000 meters. I can't go up, I'll freeze after climbing for a while."

"But in the summer, as the snow mountains melt, the streams formed by the snow water flow down from the snow mountains, and they will come down from the peaks, along the snow water, to the highlands, to taste the sweet snow water and fertile pasture."

Su Li's eyes flashed instantly and asked: "So you are sure that there is a Peak Spirit wandering in the fertile Scarlet Highlands to the north?"

The animal master shrank back, took a few steps back, and cautiously looked at Su Li's murderous face, and asked: "What do you want to do? Why are you suddenly so murderous, do you want to hunt this Peak Spirit?"

Su Li smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't hurt it. On the contrary, I will form a friendship with it."

The intelligence of this Peak Spirit is very important to the current situation of the Black Forest Territory.

This is also the first key intelligence not revealed by the daily intelligence system. This may be related to the fact that the Peak Spirit is too far away from the Black Forest Territory, or it may be because Su Li's own planning and strategy have reached before this intelligence system for the first time.

Afterwards, Su Li left the ranch and returned to the castle with Lunadesan and Hilud. He summoned all the generals, knights, and dwarf commanders.

Soon, the core figures supporting the territory's military arrived in the castle's conference hall. Dwarf Commander Muradin shouted excitedly: "My big friend, holding a military conference in the castle, are you finally ready to send troops?"

Su Li nodded solemnly and said, "Today I received a very important piece of intelligence. A Peak Spirit has appeared between the Gray Mountains and the Scarlet Highlands to the north, which will have a crucial impact on our decisive battle."

After speaking, Su Li looked at Tar Church Priest Lunadesan, who was called to participate in the military conference, and asked: "If you come into contact with this Peak Spirit, can you successfully persuade it to help us fight against the demons?"

Lunadesan immediately showed an excited expression and asked: "Are you planning to have it cause a landslide to severely damage the demon army?"

"That's right, are you confident that it will listen to your advice?"

Lunadesan nodded excitedly and said: "If it is against mountain people, dwarves, or even green skins, I don't have definite confidence. But against demons, this righteous cause, I believe Tar's spirit will definitely help us!"

Dwarf Commander Muradin slammed his battle axe on the table and shouted excitedly: "Ooh! I also understand, my friend, are you planning to lead the demon army into a pre-set battlefield and use landslides to increase our chances of winning? But how do you know that the demons will come to the battlefield you choose?"

In this regard, without Su Li saying more, many believers of the Sun Goddess in the conference room immediately spoke up.

Constantine, the branch leader of the Sun Halo Knights, said calmly: "This is the essence of our doctrine. As a general, Violetta is undoubtedly cunning, and she rarely fights the enemy head-on in a confrontational hard battle."

"She always teaches believers to gain the upper hand before the battle really starts through strategic deployments such as luring the enemy deep, waiting for work at leisure, and seizing favorable terrain."

"The lord can think of all this, which proves that she is a military leader with great talent and strategy."

The dwarf commanders muttered: "Cunning? This is not a virtue. We dwarves prefer to have a fair fight. I don't understand why you humans tend to believe in this cunning faith? We still like Redmar of your human state religion. He can evoke the courage and perseverance of humans to our dwarves' temper."

Constantine immediately slammed the table angrily and scolded: "How dare you question our great Sun Goddess?"

Su Li was convinced by Constantine's violent temper. He would explode if he didn't agree.

If Su Li didn't care, the two champion-level helpers of the Black Forest Territory would probably start fighting now.

So Su Li immediately stopped the two of them and said: "Violetta is certainly not only cunning."

This sentence effectively suppressed the anger of both parties. Cunning is not considered a bad review in this world after all. After all, most of the evaluations of Redmar's believers are stupid.

Through Su Li's characterization, it turned the dwarves' muttering into a normal question.

Then, before Constantine and Muradin continued to explode, Su Li continued: "What really made Violetta famous was the values she has always adhered to in war, which are called 'Glorious War' by later generations: A glorious conqueror should bring civilization and stability to the occupied area, rather than chaos and death."

"Therefore, even if force has been used, generals should still minimize the pain and death caused by war: harming civilians, looting occupied towns, and other behaviors are completely prohibited, and enemies who surrender voluntarily need to be treated with courtesy - if the other party also abides by the values of 'Glorious War', if they are guilty of crimes such as indiscriminate killing of civilians, they need to be punished or even executed after a fair trial."

Furthermore, she is the only one among the human gods who proposed that the lives of soldiers are paramount. She advocates that her followers, soldiers, must undergo qualified training before entering the battlefield. Besides the common discipline and physical training, Violet's soldiers also regularly receive military strategy learning, enabling them to possess basic military literacy and judge whether the commander's orders are appropriate. In the face of meaningless sacrifices, soldiers are allowed to strategically retreat—a tolerance that is very rare in various human kingdoms.

It is precisely because of this fundamental difference in the approach to war that conflicts between the Yurick and Violet sects are constant. Violet's followers tend to think that Yurick's way is brutal and barbaric; Yurick's followers think that Violet's way is weak and cunning.

Although both sects emphasize the honor of warriors, their connotations are vastly different: the Yurick sect believes that a suitable battlefield is an open area where both sides can fully deploy, while the Violet sect is obsessed with finding complex terrain that favors themselves and deprives the enemy of the opportunity to deploy properly, which is considered a waste of time and even cowardly by the White Wolf Warriors.

However, any rational imperial citizen knows that Yurick's contempt for Violet is not because she advocates dishonorable or even cowardly combat methods, but because she is a war god from a foreign land who has a strong competitive relationship with Yurick.

So, Su Li said: "Violet's priests are all highly skilled warriors. For them, combat itself is a form of prayer. They practice and perfect combat skills, study and research combat strategies. This is both for themselves and to commemorate Violet, because in this dark age of rampant demons, war is inevitable, and grasping the initiative on the battlefield is grasping one's own life."

"Therefore, our territory devoutly believes in the teachings of Violet. And my dwarf friend, according to the prior agreement, you should follow our tactical arrangements. Are you going to break your oath?"

The dwarf Muradin immediately flushed red. For a dwarf, questioning his oath is questioning his honor!

And all of this was caused by him. He could only shout loudly: "Of course not! A dwarf will never break his oath. My friend, you just watch. We will prove everything with action. We can't wait to set off and prove all of this to you."

This time, Su Li did not delay the time of dispatching troops. He decisively replied: "We will send troops in three days. It is estimated that the demons will receive our challenge letter at this time."

"We will fight the demon army under the Gray Mountains!"

Hearing Su Li's clear reply, the dwarves cheered eagerly. Some of them even had tears in their eyes. Finally, there was a clear time!

Muradin picked up his battle axe and said excitedly: "I will go back and gather the army and prepare. We will set off on time in three days!"
