Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

At this moment, Knight Conner felt a sense of dizziness and disorientation.

Everything before his eyes was so surreal that it seemed impractical.

It wasn't that he hadn't heard of Hildred's deeds; on the contrary, he had been paying attention since Hildred first appeared in Thistleburg.

At that time, she was just a female slave, not even worthy of polishing his armor.

Although she quickly demonstrated good cultivation qualifications, that little achievement was not even noticed by most people.

It wasn't until her heroic deeds were spread to the north by the priests of the Temple of the Blazing Sun that Sir Su Li actually formed a joint army with her and the dwarves, and killed a Chosen-level demon.

This caused a sensation throughout Thistleburg. After several days of discussion, the family decided to continue to increase the resources to support this descendant, and not let such excellent bloodlines be easily destroyed when they had already achieved results.

But at this time, most people thought that the Black Forest Territory was just basking in the glory of the dwarves, and the dwarves must have been the main force in the final battle. Almost no one believed that a newly established pioneering territory could have more credit than a long-established dwarven clan.

At the same time, it was from this point on that Hildred's title of Champion Knight gradually spread to the north.

This cultivation speed was already legendary enough, but what was happening now?

This was genuine Chosen-level pressure. If Conner hadn't felt it once on Count Suna, he would have almost thought it was his illusion!

But at this moment, how much he wanted to chop off his own hand.

Sir Su Li had a Chosen-level knight under his command!

And he actually dared to presumptuously guide Sir Su Li's career?

Fortunately, he came as a family support with the identity of assistance, otherwise, if Hildred had a more violent temper, she could have completely chopped off his arm.

Su Li waved his hand with a faint smile, and said, "Hildred, don't be so serious. Knight Conner is just excited to pat me after a long absence."

Hildred rode her warhorse back relatively slowly, so she arrived a little later. Hearing Su Li's instructions, she withdrew her aura and pressure, walked to Su Li's side with her sword, and glanced at Knight Conner with a sharp gaze.

Knight Conner suddenly felt a little short of breath, and quickly adjusted his mood to stabilize his state.

However, he still firmly believed that what he said was correct. Although the Black Forest Territory had strong defensive facilities and unparalleled Chosen Knights, this alone was far from enough.

To fight against the Green Dragon, the Black Forest Territory still needed a large and elite army.

He maintained the pride of a knight and stubbornly said, "Hildred, I didn't mean to offend you, I just discussed the situation with Sir Su Li and talked about my views on the war."

Hildred snorted coldly and said, "This is transgression and offense! What qualifications do you have to directly discuss the war situation and views with the Lord?"

Conner was instantly so angry that he gritted his teeth. Even when facing a Chosen Knight, his eyes were full of anger, and he said, "Transgression? Unworthy? You little pioneering territory, you really have a bigger tone than the Earl!"

Hildred first came to Su Li's side and whispered in his ear, "Lord, His Excellency the Marshal's army has returned in triumph. Their vanguard happened to return to the castle with us."

Then she glanced at Knight Conner lightly and said, "In terms of procedure, if you want to discuss the war situation, you should first apply to me. In terms of qualifications, you haven't even seen our Marshal, so why do you rashly bypass the commander and presumptuously talk about the situation with our Lord? Am I wrong to say that you are transgressing?"

Su Li was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile, "Hahaha, that's great, today is a double happiness. Indeed, calculating the time, the dragon should have woken up, and our army should have retreated. Knight Conner, come with me to welcome our triumphant army. Let's meet our commander together, you should also know him, he is Knight Orstein."

The army returns in triumph?

When he heard this word, Knight Conner was shocked and felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that the more than twenty Black Forest Guard Knights in the territory were just a small team left behind by Sir Su Li?

No! Impossible! Conner immediately and resolutely denied it in his heart, snorted coldly, and said to Hildred, "There is no need to forcibly organize a group of rabble for the sake of face."

"It is already very good for the Black Forest Territory to develop from a few elite knights to more than twenty elite knights in half a year. Organizing some rabble to support the number of people and face will only be ridiculed by the family knights."

The family knights behind him also had the same idea, and someone said coldly, "Not everything can be called an army."

"I think the Black Forest Territory is resorting to all means for the sake of face."

"It's just to suppress us. Don't pull out a group of thugs, make a lot of noise and lose control, and finally we have to help put down the rebellion!"

Su Li raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile. It could be seen that the two sides had a lot of hostility.

This not only involves a dispute over face, but also involves a dispute between branches. That is, which of the main branch of Thistleburg and the branch of Black Forestburg has more say.

As a family descendant, he is actually not suitable to speak at this time. Because no matter what, this unit is here to support him. If he forcibly suppresses them, it will only hurt the morale of this unit.

The essence of politics is to unite all forces that can be united. As the lord, he certainly cannot create a situation where Black Forestburg is hostile to this support army. On the contrary, he should resolve their differences and absorb them into his command.

So he pressed Hildred, who had already drawn half of her sword, pressed her sword back, and said with a faint smile, "Don't make a scene on the day of the triumph. Let's go, let's welcome our commander."

Hildred snorted coldly, sheathed her sword, turned around and guarded Su Li's back, and walked towards the outside of the castle.

Seeing this, Conner finally felt a sense of elation, waved to the knights behind him, and said, "Let's go, let's see how mighty Sir Su Li's army really is!"

He shouted the word "mighty" particularly exaggeratedly, dragging out a long tone, obviously with sarcasm.

Stern only felt dizzy. He had been fighting on the Crimson Highlands this month and had no time to write letters to his father and Thistleburg.

Moreover, he was just an ordinary soldier in the Black Forest Guard Knights. He had no right to participate in high-level meetings. In his impression, the territory was still in a state of heavy damage from the battle with the demons. It was not until the commander led the troops on the expedition that he knew how magnificent and vast the Black Forest Territory was when it went all out.

So when Su Li walked out, he quickly whispered to Conner, "Father, the scale of the territory's army is far more than what you have seen! You must adjust your attitude, otherwise you may suffer!"

Conner said indifferently, "A group of rabble is not enough in front of the Crimson Night Knights, no matter how large the scale is. Son, don't you want to go further and become a Black Forest Guard Knight captain?"

Stern's eyes widened instantly, be a captain?

He quickly shook his head like a rattle, how could his strength imagine the captain of the Black Forest Guard Knights?

That is a position that at least a Champion-level knight can hold!

Conner scolded angrily, "Mud that can't support the wall! I see that you have been in a small place for a long time, so your mind has become narrow. Being a knight makes you so happy, you don't even dare to think about being a captain?"

"Get out of the way and watch how I establish my prestige!"

After saying that, he pushed Stern away, grabbed his arm, and led the family knights to the stone corridor of the castle with contempt, and walked towards the outside of the castle.

The knights around him smiled and said, "This remote territory on the border is not large in scale, but it has a lot of airs. Such a long stone corridor, and you can't ride a horse."

"I remember that passing through this stone corridor is a flat open space of more than ten meters in the short castle, just to see the majesty of Sir Su Li's territory's army'! Hahaha."

The wanton laughter stopped abruptly as they reached the end of the stone corridor, facing the afterglow of the setting sun!

Su Li walked out of the stone corridor surrounded by a group of golden-armored knights. The golden light of the setting sun shone down, illuminating the golden armor and reflecting dazzling light.

On both sides of the stone corridor, the vermilion flags of the Thistleflower family fluttered in the breeze, clearly showing the family's glory and majesty.

These flags are not only brightly colored, but also like flames leading to the throne, illuminating the entire stone corridor.

When Su Li led the knights onto the high platform, everyone's shadows were stretched long by the sunlight.

Also stretched was the open scene that came into view.

Conner and all the family knights behind him instantly widened their eyes and gasped in unison.

In the middle of the fortress built of marble below, a large number of heavy-armored knights wearing plate armor and shining brightly poured in!

When these heavy-armored knights lined up, their majestic figures almost covered the entire castle square below.

Their appearance was like a moving steel forest, lined up on the flat square between the city wall and the inner castle.

Even the magnificent stone walls and towers of the castle paled in comparison to these heavy-armored knights shining with armor, as if they would be toppled and submerged by their powerful force at any time.

The power of the army was vividly displayed at this moment.

Even the powerful knights, as individuals, were all shocked when they stood on the city wall and witnessed the magnificent scene of the army below.

Because everyone knew that once this huge army launched an attack, its momentum would be like an insurmountable mountain, overwhelmingly destroying everything.

What shocked Conner and the others even more was that this army was obviously not a rabble.

Not only did they have banners and flags, and their armor shone brightly, but they were also neatly arranged in rows, and everyone's aura showed their unparalleled power and uninhibited bravery.

They were all wearing thick and sophisticated plate armor. The carefully polished heavy armor reflected dazzling light in the sun. All the soldiers held the hilts of their swords and inserted their long swords into the ground, standing beside them. The knights holding shields placed their shields in front of them, and a large number of spears stood like a forest behind them.

Everyone stood upright under the banner, and at the same time bowed their heads to show their submission to the lord on the high platform.

Knight Orstein, the commander of the army, jumped down from the half-griffin, holding a huge warhammer, and shouted, "Salute to the Lord!"

All the knights and armed attendants instantly knelt on one knee, supporting their weapons in unison, and shouted like a tsunami, "Greetings, Lord!"

The huge sound wave made the knights from the family retreat in shock. They all looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Conner was so excited that he couldn't make a sound. This is Sir Su Li's army?!

Is this the elite army that a small border pioneering territory can build?

He was so shocked that his scalp was numb. He actually dared to presumptuously guide Sir Su Li?

Even without Hildred, the Chosen Knight, as long as Sir Su Li said a word, this magnificent army would rush over like a tsunami and wipe out his side in one fell swoop!

His mind went blank in an instant, and he no longer had any resentment.

Hildred said that his presumptuousness was transgression and offense, and now it seems that she was not wrong at all.

What qualifications did he have to directly discuss the situation with Sir Su Li? Even to talk to the commander of the Black Forest Territory, he was not worthy.

If it weren't for the bright and dazzling armor, he couldn't believe how Sir Su Li had developed.

Even now he is deeply shocked and cannot understand how a small border pioneering territory can build such an elite army. He even saw a large number of half-griffin knights leading griffins, holding halberds, kneeling on one knee, and arranged in the forefront of the army.

This scale is even no weaker than Thistleburg!

However, Su Li was no longer concerned about Conner's views. The scene under the high platform simply fascinated him.

This is the dream of a man, standing at the peak of power, holding thousands of troops, with iron armor standing in the distance, and a beauty in his arms nearby.

Which man can refuse the temptation to lie drunk on a beauty's lap and grasp the power of the world when he wakes up?

So Su Li stepped out from the crowd and shouted to the iron-clad army below, "My soldiers, glory is with you. The Blazing Sun Goddess will see your glorious cause. I will celebrate tonight's feast with you in triumph."

"I will also fight side by side with you forever to resist the threat of the Green Dragon. Facing the Green Dragon, fear is not shameful. Because fear is the instinct of living beings, and courage is the hymn of mankind! I believe that we will create more glory and victory together."

"May the Blazing Sun Goddess bless us to win the final victory!"

The soldiers immediately responded with a tsunami of cheers.

"May the Blazing Sun Goddess bless us to victory!"

"May the Blazing Sun Goddess bless us to victory!"

"For glory!"

"For glory!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The army's morale was available, and Su Li immediately ordered the halflings in the territory to reward the army at all costs and continue to boost morale.

The Green Dragon has awakened, and this is the time to generously buy the lives of the soldiers.

Isn't this the time to spend money on the edge of the knife?

Hearing Su Li's arrangement, the soldiers' morale was even higher. Under the arrangement of the captains of each squadron, they left the castle in an orderly manner, and at the same time left a large number of spoils of this battle.

Knight Orstein, the commander of the army, led the captains of the knight regiments across the stone bridge and entered the castle.

Knight Erstein's arrogance was far worse than Hild's. The moment he saw Connor, his eyes widened, and he barked, "I heard that Knight Connor thinks we Black Forest are a rabble? The Lion Ring Arena in the territory is very lively. I cordially invite Knight Connor to come in and spar."

Knight Connor was even more shocked by Knight Erstein's aura! He had witnessed the scene of Connor's advancement.

At that time, he was very clear that Count Suna's aura was much stronger than Knight Erstein's.

But in just six months, Knight Erstein's current aura was almost the same as the Earl's. He was at least at the peak of a high-level champion knight.

And Knight Connor was only at the peak of an elite knight! His relationship with Count Suna was the same as Su Li's with his attendant Harry. Although Connor and Harry were both good candidates for personal guards, they couldn't compare with the nobles' cultivation speed!

Asking him to fight a champion knight whose cultivation speed was even faster than Su Li or even Count Suna was simply sending him to his death.

So Knight Connor immediately felt a cold sweat break out on his back. The opponent was a champion knight. If they had a one-on-one duel, it wouldn't take more than a few moves to smash through his shield and knock him down.

Although courage is the anthem of humanity, fear is also a biological instinct!

Under Knight Erstein's fierce gaze, his entire back was wet. He and the knights behind him swallowed nervously, panicking, not knowing how to respond.

At this moment, no one spoke, and everyone was watching them.

Including Su Li, who stood silently to the side.

As the lord, he needed to win over all forces and wasn't suitable to personally suppress the arrogance of the Crimson Night Knights and Knight Connor.

But that didn't mean he was a good-tempered person who didn't care about Knight Connor's arrogant attitude.

In fact, his personality was extremely outstanding. He basically didn't hold grudges overnight because he usually took revenge on the spot!

He attacked the green dragon proactively because it threatened him, without even waiting for it to wake up.

In this case, how could he tolerate Knight Connor's clamoring in front of him?

Knight Erstein's suppression of his aura was in line with Su Li's interests, helping him gain the dominant command of this army. Moreover, Erstein and Knight Connor came from the same background and were once comrades-in-arms. It was justified for them to spar, and no one could find fault with it.

As Knight Connor continued to not respond, the scene fell into silence for a while, with only the rough breathing of the knights.

Su Li was very indifferent to this. Many people have a natural habit of fearing awkward situations and offending people.

But this kind of political struggle is about offending people. The other party is not afraid of embarrassment and wants to provoke, so what is there to be afraid of?

If the scene becomes awkward, it's not just him who is embarrassed. What is there for him to be unacceptable?

Expecting Su Li to speak, to save face for Knight Connor, and to ease the situation is wishful thinking.

What Su Li wants is not a false harmony with Knight Connor, but the army's heartfelt awe and submission!

He is the lord, not a succubus, and there is no need to pursue everyone's liking. Just like the Tang Dynasty, it is not meant to be liked, but to be feared!

Just when the atmosphere was a little stiff, the vice-captain of the Knights, Freya, walked forward with her black and gold rune longsword and said, "Lord, I don't think Marshal's proposal is appropriate."

Erstein's eyes widened, and a terrifying pressure like a mountain moved with his gaze to Freya's tall figure.

But before Knight Erstein could speak, Freya continued, "How can a marshal duel with a knight captain? Wouldn't that be demeaning? Let me spar with Knight Connor. I am the vice-captain of the Knights, so I can exchange martial arts with the Crimson Night Knights."

After speaking, she looked at Knight Connor and asked, "Sir, you wouldn't dare to face even a woman, would you?"

A stubborn golden cowlick on her head fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were as arrogant and sharp as ever, looking at Connor like he was trash.

This deeply hurt Connor's dignity. He finally ignored the huge difference in strength and roared, "The knights of the Crimson Night Knights never refuse a challenge! Come on, let's fight to the end!"

At this time, Su Li showed a satisfied smile. If Connor couldn't even beat a vice-captain of the Corona Knights, then he and the Crimson Night Knights would have no right to resist the territory's orders in the future. After all, even the Corona Knights have submitted to the command of the Black Forest Territory, so what right do they have to disobey?

Then Su Li waved his hand indifferently and said, "Let's leave the duel to the evening banquet and celebration. Knight Connor has always been a more impatient person. Don't take it to heart. Now that the army has returned in triumph, let's first report on the situation of this battle."

Hearing Su Li say this, Erstein and Freya both withdrew their auras.

Now no one in the territory questioned Su Li's decision. In the past, Knight Erstein could still be more unruly because of his advantages in command and strength.

But now that Hild has become a Chosen Knight and firmly supports Su Li, and the territory's army was created by Su Li, his authority is at its peak, and no one can challenge it.

Knight Erstein also respectfully reported, "This time, we took the initiative to enter the Forest Liting to sweep the caves and launched a decisive battle with the main force of the Green Dragon's family in the forest."

"We won a great victory, killing four forest giants, defeating more than two thousand gnolls, kobolds, and harpies. And we burned down the monsters' camp in the west. The fire stretched for dozens of miles and lasted for three days. It could be seen for hundreds of miles around."

"We are sure that if the green dragon wakes up, it will definitely see the destructive results of this battle against its family."

Defeated more than 2,000 gnolls?

That was indeed a victory with outstanding military exploits. The remains of the dead and wounded monsters will stretch across the forests and valleys.

But Su Li was more concerned about another issue: "Did you encounter the Wyvern King during this deep dive into the forest? This is a more threatening existence to our territory."

Knight Connor, upon hearing this, was already numb.

How can there be a green dragon and a Wyvern King?

This situation is much more complicated than I thought! How proud and frivolous was I before to imagine that I could solve the crisis of the Black Forest Territory with the Crimson Night Knights?

There is a surprise chapter at the end of this chapter, which is a picture of the knights standing in iron armor.

Then here's some good news, there are already some manuscripts, I will save some more next week, and I will update 10,000 words every day on the weekend, and strive to update 10,000 words for another week.
