Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

This green dragon's insidious plot was truly deadly.

Mainly because it chose the perfect moment: just after a hard-fought battle, the camp was full of wounded soldiers, the head medic had already died in battle, and the new head medic had used up all the strategic reserves just to barely stabilize the medical situation and prevent the wounded from getting worse.

The surviving soldiers were celebrating their escape from death and injury, counting their spoils of war and military merits.

At this time, if the centaur legion were to attack, even if Commander Orschtein was prepared, the severely damaged army would probably not be able to defend this dilapidated camp.

So Su Li said, "It's not that I don't trust Commander Orschtein's abilities, but our current situation is too terrible."

"With a large-scale raid by the centaur legion, relying on this dilapidated camp for defense, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Xilude said calmly, "I think this is an opportunity. The key is to do our best to mobilize the soldiers and maximize our organizational capabilities."

"We have gained many witchcraft props in this battle. As long as we can mobilize the soldiers to build trenches with all our strength and set up various traps, with only two gaps, the monster army will inevitably enter our pre-set ambush."

"At this time, we will ambush the most elite cavalry regiment outside the camp and launch a surprise attack from behind when the enemy falls into the trap and is weak, and they will inevitably suffer heavy damage."

Set up traps in advance?

Su Li pondered, he was indeed stuck in a fixed mindset.

In this world, it is not only stone walls that can form barriers and block the enemy's advance.

There are also powerful magic traps. In many cases, magic traps are more advanced defense projects than city walls.

It's just that most lords don't have such huge wealth to use magic traps to construct defenses instead of city walls.

If magic traps can build a dense defense system, most armies would rather attack tall city walls than advance from this area.

However, most magic traps cannot directly cause damage, but cause weakening effects to the enemy, requiring the cooperation of the army.

The green dragon's insidious and decisive night attack was based on the assumption that, under normal circumstances, even if magic traps were set up in this area, there would not be a large number of troops guarding it.

And Su Li, relying on the intelligence system, has foreseen their plan, perhaps this is indeed an opportunity as Xilude said!

Thinking of what the daily intelligence system said, if this centaur legion could be completely wiped out, it would create fear in the green dragon's heart, making it extremely fearful and delaying the launch of this war.

Su Li's heart was pounding. If the outbreak of the war could be delayed by another three months, the Black Forest Territory would have more time to mobilize and prepare, and the chances of winning would increase by another 20-30%!

However, before Xilude said this, Su Li couldn't imagine such a feat at all.

In a cold weapon battle, he could never destroy a cavalry regiment in an organized manner.

Even the Crescent Moon Formation only killed a large number of cavalry, not wiping out the entire cavalry.

But this is a transcendent world, what if... there are a large number of witchcraft props and magic traps?

Perhaps he can't kill this entire cavalry, leaving not a single centaur to escape, but there is a high probability of killing more than 70% of their strength. This will also delay the green dragon's attack time by a cycle, it will fully gather its troops and then kill out of the jungle.

Every day the war is delayed, Su Li's strength will increase by one point.

Especially his decision tonight successfully attracted the attention of Shalia, the Goddess of Healing and Mercy. A powerful medical knight will arrive in the territory with dozens of medical church nuns to assist the Sun Goddess's followers in the war.

In future territorial wars, casualties will be greatly reduced.

Su Li was eager to win this battle cleanly, so he couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately put on his clothes and armor and took Xilude to the breach in the city wall.

Priest Rongen and Freya, the vice-captain of the Solar Corona Knights, were here supervising the soldiers to sort out the channels and build new defense works.

A large number of soldiers and ogres took off their armor and were working enthusiastically.

In the surrounding open space, there were a large number of building materials and captured witchcraft props, smoke bombs, etc.

Xilude was very correct in saying that the decision of victory or defeat in war always lies in the degree of organization.

Strong organizational skills will allow the army to explode with unparalleled combat power.

And with low organizational skills and low morale, even if all the soldiers are wearing Zhenjin rune armor and have hundreds of heavy armored knights, they will only collapse at the sight of the enemy. Shooting three arrows in battle is considered worthy of the lord.

In terms of organizational skills, the Black Forest Territory undoubtedly has a huge advantage.

The knights' morale is high. Su Li has given them all the honor, wealth, and status. Nearly nine hundred knights are extremely proud, clearly knowing why they are fighting this battle. They also firmly believe that following Su Li's footsteps will get them everything they want.

Even if they die in battle, the Sun Goddess will ensure that their souls die well. The lord will ensure their posthumous glory and the well-being of their children.

The remains of all the knights who died in battle were properly collected and will enter the territory's Hall of Heroes. Mol's elite knights will pray for them to ensure that their bodies are not desecrated by necromancy.

Their children will also receive a large sum of compensation or a piece of land as a manor.

Wealth and honor together ensure their high enthusiasm, actively brainstorming and setting up various defenses here.

When Freya saw Su Li walking over, she raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you be sleeping in your room at this time? Why are you here?"

Su Li said理直气壮的, "My lying flat is the greatest help to the territory. Patrolling the camp, comforting the wounded, and arranging guards don't need me to do it myself, so I leave it to you. Tell me, how is the situation here?"

Freya said lightly, "As you said, Marshal Orschtein is leading the knights to patrol the camp and deal with various problems. Captain Constantine is comforting the soldiers, preaching Violet's teachings to them, and boosting the morale of the soldiers."

"Captain Rongen and I are here to set up defenses. The progress here is very fast. The dwarf engineers and ogres have left these two gaps to facilitate access and speed up the clearing of the outer ditches and traps. According to the dwarf engineers' estimate, the various ditches here can be initially cleared by the second half of the night, and the gaps can be filled tomorrow."

Su Li raised his hand and said decisively, "We can't wait until tomorrow. Tonight, the centaur group will raid our camp."

Hearing Su Li's words, Freya was slightly surprised and said, "Is this green dragon so cunning? After just being defeated, when we all thought he wouldn't dare to fight again, he sent out another force to suddenly attack?"

Su Li nodded and looked at the soldiers around him who had already taken off their armor and were working enthusiastically on various fortifications. In this situation, if the enemy launches a night attack, it can be said that it will inevitably be a great success.

However, after being shocked, Freya's reaction was exactly the same as Xilude's. She said, "Lord, with your foresight, this will be a huge opportunity for us. We set up traps and ambushes, and we will definitely be able to severely damage the green dragon's mobile army. If the green dragon's strongest mobile army is destroyed, in the next war with it, relying on the mobility advantage of the cavalry, we will have absolute strategic initiative."

"Although overall it is launching an overwhelming offensive against us with a large-scale dependent army, we can completely choose whether to fight or not relying on strong defensive fortresses and various defense works. At that time, we will take the initiative to attack its dependents in certain directions, and it can only passively defend and respond. Relying on our elite and well-trained main cavalry force, we can form an absolute advantage in some areas and surround and chop up all the monster armies."

This is an advanced version of the divide and conquer tactic.

Why are knights the absolute trump card on the battlefield?

It is because once they choose a target, they are basically attacking the weak with the strong. Through mobility advantages, forming advantages in scale and combat power, they can easily surround and chop up the enemy.

Basically, as long as the opponent does not have a particularly strong will to fight, facing the encirclement of a large-scale heavy armored cavalry, as long as the cavalry charges once or twice, the enemy's morale will collapse and the entire army will collapse.

Su Li now desperately needs to win this battle in order to return to Black Forest Castle to prepare for the upcoming assassination.

The white terror in Surand Province has gone mad. In order to assassinate the Elector's heir, the nobles have hired four Chosen-level assassins from the Eshin Clan to Black Forest Territory to assassinate Phyllis.

If the knight is the iconic troop of the empire, then the assassin is the most iconic troop of the Eshin Clan.

The famous saying of this skaven clan is that frontal strength is not the way of the Eshin Clan, sneaking in the shadows is.

These ratmen returned from studying in the Far East and mastered the most mysterious art of assassination.

In the territories of humans, elves, and dwarves, ratmen assassinations are especially difficult to defend against. In the emperor's court, some nobles and their entire entourage have died strangely. The powerful elf mage Frissen was found skinned alive in his own study, and this room with only one entrance was heavily protected by magic;

So much so that many people interpret this as chaos, but anyone with a little knowledge knows that chaos would never just kill so few people and disappear.

This is the masterpiece of the Eshin ratmen assassins.

Logically speaking, the defense of Black Forest Castle is far inferior to the emperor's court and the archmage's study.

If Su Li doesn't go back to sit in town, these terrible Skaven assassins are very likely to sneak into the castle and skin Phyllis alive.

Phyllis still has Su Li's only bloodline in her belly.

The arrival of these ratmen assassins will not be long. Their spy agencies are scattered in the strongholds of the witchcraft city.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

After they accept the assassination bounty, they are likely to send Chosen ones over nearby.

Don't underestimate them just because their name is clan.

They are one of the most terrible clans among the ratmen. In terms of strength, the whole can be compared with an Elector's territory of the empire.

If they go mad and attack an Elector's force frantically, whether this Elector can win on the battlefield is another matter, but the members of the Elector's family are afraid that they will be killed until their bloodline is cut off.

Compared with such a huge clan, Su Li's war with the green dragon on this scale is completely a small fight.

The huge pressure on his body is Su Li's strong motivation. He immediately ordered, "No matter what, we must win this battle cleanly and there must be no major casualties."

Xilude observed the situation of the defense works. The dilapidated camp under the night seemed desolate and dilapidated, but it was an excellent ambush site.

Then Xilude pointed to the top of the city wall breach and asked, "Lord, what do you think about putting the petrification gaze statue here?"

Petrification gaze trap, the territory happens to have 4, when you notice the eyes of the statue, the monster will be petrified and slowed down.

These two gaps are the only way for the monster army to attack the camp. If the petrification statue is placed here, it means that a large number of monsters will be petrified on their way forward.

And they can't climb the city wall and smash this statue.

Su Li touched the little black beard that had just emerged from his chin and pondered for a moment. How does this picture feel a bit inexplicably familiar?

Isn't this the rhythm of tower defense? Guarding the goddess?

Freya said, "I think it's good. We have actually buried 6 soul wells under the gap. As long as the monster passes through this gap, the witchcraft traps within a hundred meters nearby will be triggered, which can not only quickly extract their life value, but also weaken their courage and will."

If the musketeers launch a salvo at them at this time, they will be crowded here, and in a weak state, they will suffer heavy losses in an instant. A volley of salvos may cause them to lose hundreds of people!

A volley of salvos kills hundreds of people?

This is an extremely tragic number.

Under normal circumstances, even bombing with artillery does not have such terrible lethality.

But the enemies in the trap have become weak in life and their defenses have become vulnerable. A little damage may become fatal at this moment.

If hundreds of people can be killed in one volley, these monsters can be defeated in a few volleys.

Su Li said with concern, "Do we have any witchcraft props that can make the monsters stop here? In this battle, we must not only win, but also maximize the killing of the monster army and strive to wipe them out."

Priest Rongen noticed the situation here when he was supervising at another gap. He immediately walked over and took the initiative to answer when he heard Su Li's question, "There is indeed an inconspicuous prop that may have this effect."

He waved to a knight of the church, and this knight immediately brought a pile of junk with armed attendants and piled it up like a mountain in front of Su Li.

Su Li raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Goblin smoke bombs, you have seen the effect, it can create spicy smoke, interfere with the enemy's vision, and delay the enemy's speed. We captured more than 300 in this battle."

"Although their effect in the hands of goblins is minimal, that's because the battlefield is very wide, and they are not very effective against knights charging across the field. But if used in a concentrated manner, especially in such narrow terrain, the sheer number will produce a very considerable effect."

"The pungent and irritating smoke will make the monsters unable to open their eyes and unable to find their direction."

Then Ron carefully took out a scroll made of dark yellow parchment from his bosom and said, "This is one of the most powerful magical items we captured in this battle. It is a 'Heavenly Spell - Mannan's Vanguard' scroll made by a dragon or a high elf mage."

"After use, the wizard can summon a huge wave to sweep away his enemies."

Mannan's Vanguard, this spell looks a bit like a water-based spell, but it is indeed within the scope of Heavenly magic.

Heavenly magic manifests as a blue wind of magic, said to be a manifestation of the power of chaos on inspiration and other elusive things.

This wind of Heavenly magic is built on knowledge of the unknown and manipulation of the sky. Also known as astrology, it is cast by Heavenly mages to predict the future and manipulate fate.

So Su Li's daily intelligence ability was not surprised or feared by others. Prophets, Heavenly mages, wizards, etc. in this world all have some predictive abilities to varying degrees.

Returning to Heavenly magic, it can be divided into three aspects: divination, control of the weather, and the most dangerous, manipulating the future through curses.

In the Celestial College, where the wind of Heavenly magic is strong, astrologers create instruments for precise calculation and measurement, such as astrolabes. But they can not only be used to foresee the future, but also to provide navigation for sailing.

The astronomers of the Celestial College are also very experienced meteorologists. Through the application of this science, they can predict weather conditions, so they have created incredibly accurate and exquisitely crafted barometers, coronagraphs, hygrometers, anemometers, and so on.

The astrologers, peering through the blue-glowing mist emanating from the wind of Heaven, record the various images and movements that can be seen where the temporal winds of Heaven connect with astrology and where constellations meet.

So this Mannan's Vanguard, after activation, will sweep across the entire battlefield in a meteorological manner.

There is no doubt that the ditches outside the camp and the Brienne River will greatly enhance the power of this spell.

The spells of this world are still very powerful. A magic scroll can easily kill dozens of cruel monsters. Even powerful heavy-armored knights and centaur warriors will be severely damaged, struggling and tumbling in the giant waves.

If the traps are perfectly combined with the spell, Su Li feels that destroying 70% or even 90% of the monsters in one battle is not out of the question.

Su Li said decisively: "Okay, let's arrange it like this. Use various traps and bombs to trap the monsters in this area, and then use magic to inflict the maximum amount of damage."

If all conditions are perfect, and the monsters are imprisoned within the range of the magic, this magic scroll may create a miracle, killing more than 200 monsters.
