Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Undoubtedly, the new rare weapon, [Beast Slayer], would greatly enhance Hilde's combat power. If she were to encounter the River Troll Witch again, the battle would definitely not be as difficult as before.

This powerful rune sword could even interrupt siphon magic, truly demonstrating that half of a knight's or caster's combat power comes from equipment.

More importantly, with this rare equipment, the tactic Hilde mentioned becomes feasible!

Through a decapitation strategy, the entire monster army attacking in one direction could be completely defeated.

Su Li turned to look at Hilde and asked, "Which Chosen-level monster are you planning to decapitate?"

Hilde immediately replied calmly, "I have already thought about this carefully for a long time. The Green Dragon is excluded first. It is too cunning and cherishes its life. It always hides in a safe position and will actively retreat if there is any danger, so it is basically impossible to carry out a decapitation strategy against it."

Su Li nodded slightly. As a flying monster, the Green Dragon has a great strategic advantage. If it really uses its cunning style and keeps pulling, and uses Dragon Language magic, then it might not be Hilde decapitating it, but it decapitating Hilde.

"Then, excluded is the Chaos Monster Chimera Scaros. It is also a flying monster and is very cunning. It might even run away as soon as it sees me approaching with a sword, without even fighting. Moreover, its legion has been completely lost, and its influence in the Green Dragon's legion is now negligible. Killing it will hardly have any impact on the strategic pattern of the Green Dragon's legion. On the contrary, it may reduce the challenges the Green Dragon faces and strengthen the Green Dragon Elyria's rule."

That leaves only the Treant Gairlegron and the Elemental Bear Austanka.

According to Su Li's intelligence, the deaths of these two monsters could directly affect the survival and collapse of the Green Dragon's legion.

If the Elemental Bear Austanka is killed by Hilde, Gairlegron might lead its treant legion to swarm the Thorns Throne tonight, binding the Green Dragon and torturing it madly, without waiting until tomorrow. And the Chaos Monster Scaros will definitely be happy to help Gairlegron. This Chimera has always hoped to whip and abuse this sexy little Green Dragon.

If Gairlegron is killed, the treant legion is likely to collapse within a few days, especially during the long march, the treants will quickly fall behind and disappear into the forest.

Hilde thought carefully for a moment and said, "I have decided to continue to kill Gairlegron. First of all, it is a treant with very weak mobility, making it the most likely to be killed. Secondly, the Green Dragon will not fully support it in case of crisis, and may even watch the fun, hoping that Gairlegron suffers a great deal. When it enters a crisis, a moment of life and death, the Green Dragon may not be able to rescue it in time. But if Austanka encounters a crisis, the Green Dragon will definitely provide full support."

Hearing Hilde say this, Su Li made a decision instantly and said, "Then Gairlegron it is! At least we still have a chance of success. If you go to kill Austanka, the danger is too great. Marshal Orstein is not here, and no one can stop the Green Dragon, this flying monster. If it besieges you with Austanka, you might even die directly."

Hilde heard this and became more determined, saying, "Then I will prepare to lead the Black Forest Guard Knights to attack Gairlegron in the south of the city, and strive to kill it here."

The Black Forest Guard Knights, as Su Li's elite personal soldiers, are the only knight order that did not follow Marshal Orstein on the expedition. Their combat power is excellent and their equipment is sophisticated. Although they also lost 21 people, there are still 82 people now.

It can be said that they are currently the most powerful military force in the territory, and there are still 3 Champion-level knights and 13 knights with Vibranium rune armor, many of which are newly built.

After all, Hilde's battle with the River Troll Witch and the River Troll Warband really captured a large amount of Vibranium, especially the River Troll leader's Vibranium club, which was enough to create two sets of human armor.

Su Li could only hope that this knight order, which he had built with heavy investment, could assist Hilde in breaking through the monster's defense line in one fell swoop and completing the beheading of Gairlegron.

If the treant legion collapses, then humans will have the last hope of sweeping the Green Dragon's lair, but this hope is also very slim.

Even if humans finally win a great victory, the heavily damaged human remnant army will face an extremely dangerous task of entering the treacherous forest.

That is the Green Dragon's lair, with natural home-field advantages and defense facilities.

It can be compared to a human civil war, where the remnant human army not only has to push back the enemy army, but also has to take down the enemy's heavily guarded castle.

The only hope for achieving this result is that the enemy's garrison's morale has completely collapsed, and they abandon the city and flee as soon as they see the attacking army.

However, the Green Dragon's claws are probably not so demoralized. After all, they have many advantages in the forest's home field. And the most serious thing is that a large number of new legions are likely to appear to help the Green Dragon resist intruders into the forest.

Usually in the forest, they may be fighting each other and not submit to the Green Dragon. But when facing outsiders entering the forest, they have a consistent resentment.

Thinking of these things, Su Li couldn't help but smile wryly. He was too optimistic. He hadn't even defended the city yet, and he was already thinking about how to enter the forest?

It is still unknown whether the decisive battle tonight can be won!

In case the battle line is lost, his castle may be fine, but the Black Forest Town is really going to be mostly destroyed!

Fortunately, the anxious wait did not last long, and the monster legion pressed up quickly and decisively.

As soon as the Witch Moon rose, huge flying monsters flew over from the distant sky. Below them were dense, overwhelming monster legions!

This was the first time that the main force of the monsters had gathered and appeared under Black Forest City.

The shrill horn sounded heart-wrenchingly, and there was chaos on and off the city walls. A large number of defending soldiers who were resting quickly returned to the defense line, and many of them were still wearing gauze and untreated wounds. Except for the seriously injured soldiers who had fallen and could not get on the front line, everyone else had returned to the front line.

As the tragic war continued to this day, the territory's medical system had long been breached.

With only a few dozen medical knights and hundreds of medical staff in Black Forest Territory, it was simply impossible to treat hundreds or thousands of tragic casualties every day.

The territory's potions had been used up long ago, and now medical staff could only use grass to bandage the soldiers' wounds, but recently the gauze was also running out.

Many times, facing hundreds of wounded soldiers retreating, medical staff could only move them to the city's square and painfully watch them fend for themselves. Their fate could only be entrusted to Sharya, the Goddess of Healing and Compassion. The amount of divine grace that descended through the idol determined how many of the wounded soldiers in the square, gazed upon by Sharya's statue, could survive.

This was truly a matter of fate!

But as the decisive battle broke out, these soldiers who were left to fate had to support themselves with broken swords and struggle to get up.

They had to fight to the death, not only for honor, but also for their homeland, for their parents, wives, and daughters.

Because everyone knew that if the war did not go well, the nobles could shrink back into the castle and wait for the Green Dragon to plunder and retreat back into the forest, but their relatives left in Black Forest Town would probably die!

Of course, every crisis contains opportunities. The greater the storm, the more expensive the fish.

Many wealthy merchants and landlords paid Su Li high bribes in order to escape into the castle and survive. Su Li earned more than 4,700 gold crowns from them.

The myriad aspects of the territory's living beings made the atmosphere of the decisive battle particularly tragic and solemn.

Everyone was looking forward to the end of the war as soon as possible, with a final chapter.

In this tension and anticipation, the monsters soon approached under the city like dark clouds pressing down.

Su Li also saw for the first time since he entered the Border Prince Territory, the most terrible, most dangerous enemy and the source of the greatest nightmare and pressure Green Dragon Treacherous Wings Elyria.

And it lived up to Su Li's attention and various titles. The name itself contained endless terror and mystery. When it appeared in the defenders' sight, the sense of oppression was like a towering mountain, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Its body was extremely large, more than forty meters long, like a moving hill. Scales covered its entire body, each piece as hard as steel, shimmering with a ghostly green light, like armor from the abyss. These scales were not only hard, but also exuded a strange chill that made people shudder.

The Green Dragon's head was huge and狰狞, and its eyes were like two burning golden gems, flickering with cunning and cruel light. Its mouth was wide and sharp, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth like the fangs of a Sen蚺, each of which was enough to tear the hardest armor.

As a Green Dragon, its body was not as strong and violent as a Red Dragon, but the rugged bones on its wings were particularly sharp, like sharp blades. The flexible tail was also covered with bone spurs. It can be said that it perfectly conformed to the Green Dragon's insidious and treacherous temperament. A little carelessness could lead to being stabbed by the spikes on its limbs, wings, and tail.

The Green Dragon also immediately discovered Su Li, standing on the castle and looking into the distance, surrounded by a large number of knights.

The reason why Elyria personally chose to attack the castle was to vent its anger on this despicable thief!

After approaching, it roared angrily: "You despicable worm, dirty thief, you will pay the price for your shameless theft today! Every human will pay the price for your actions!"

The Green Dragon's roar rumbled in the air like thunder, echoing over the silent city. The majestic voice frightened some cowards so much that their legs went weak, but it also caused a commotion in the city.

"What? The Green Dragon's invasion was caused by the lord?"

"Damn it! Such despicable theft, no wonder it provoked the dragon's invasion. Are we dying so many people to pay the price for the noble's despicable actions?"

"Nobles are indeed good at disguising themselves as vampires! They usually pretend to be sanctimonious, but I didn't expect them to be so promiscuous behind their backs."

"What should I do? My faith is about to collapse. Could it be that the lord, a lord with such virtue, is also a dirty, ugly, and despicable monster behind his back?"

... Bursts of noise came from all directions of the city, and the defensive positions were visibly loosened. The once high-spirited army was also shaken.

It can be vividly said that the Green Dragon's roar, coupled with its dragon might, had a powerful effect of at least reducing human morale by -8!

However, Su Li had no regrets. Without the original treasure-hunting team's actions, the territory could not have cultivated Hilde to the Chosen level so quickly, and the territory might not have been able to survive the last Chosen-level crisis.

Without the valiant battles of Hilde and Orstein, Scaros would have flattened the territory with more than 10,000 monsters in the Green Dragon's first wave of attacks.

Su Li could tell the difference between a life-and-death crisis and a morale crisis.

The reason why he had the confidence to stand here and safely confront the Green Dragon was because of the benefits brought by his decisive actions.

So not only did he not feel guilty, but he confidently shouted to the Green Dragon: "Don't pretend to be sanctimonious! Whether I send someone to your lair to take away the treasure or not, you will destroy the human pioneering road in the Black Forest Mountains. Other territories that have not stolen your wealth are not immune to your poison?"

"So I not only wanted to take away your wealth in the past, but this time I will completely sweep away your dragon lair! I have already sent troops to your dragon lair. Just wait and see your Emerald Ring being destroyed and a raging fire burning!"

"Damn monster, you should have thought of this day sooner or later when you destroyed other territories."

"The greatest fantasy of evil monsters is that only they can plunder others without suffering any consequences. They are immersed in an unrealistic delusion, fantasizing about conquering and oppressing others by force, but being immune from any retaliation and loss. Today I will give you a head-on blow!"

Hearing Su Li's generous and passionate words, the Green Dragon's golden eyes suddenly narrowed. Unlike the human lower class being shaken and the upper class being firm, the monsters' lower class didn't care, but the upper class experienced a fierce ideological shock.

The Green Dragon's heart became uneasy. The Emerald Ring was its greatest concern, and even its fatal weakness!

These damn, cunning, and greedy humans had secretly sent troops into the Blood Pine Forest?

A Chosen One leading hundreds or thousands of elite knights into the Blood Pine Forest, given the current empty state of the forest, almost no one could stop them!

This meant that once they arrived in the forest, they would drive straight in, directly take the Emerald Ring, the dragon's lair would be burned, and the treasures in the dragon's lair would be looted!

If this scene really happened, it would be even more painful than killing Elyria.

Even if it sent troops to take down this city, it would not get any happiness. No! The ending would be full of pain, pain that would make the dragon wish it were dead!

And the second one to be shocked was of course the Treant Gairlegron. What was it risking everything to send troops here to help? Wasn't it to find an opportunity to drive out the Green Dragon and seize its gold and silver treasures?

If the Green Dragon's wealth was robbed by humans, then what was the point of it working so hard?

Its first instinct was to order the army to retreat! There was still a chance to retreat now and salvage the situation.

Even if the monsters knew everything now, they wouldn't be able to catch up with the human knights on the plains, but once they entered the forest, the humans' mobility advantage would be weakened, and their speed might not even be as fast as the running monsters.

This was also why humans didn't dare to easily enter the forest. Their most powerful knight legions would lose their most important mobility advantage.

The Green Dragon also immediately sent people to convey orders to Ostanka, telling it to stop attacking the city and lead the army down to immediately check the whereabouts of the human knights in the east. If the humans were really advancing towards Blood Pine Forest, then it must be in the east! The harpy legions could quickly pursue and would definitely be able to find their tracks.

These timid harpies might not even be as strong as a battle group of human cavalry. Even if hundreds of harpies swooped down, they would all be killed by 60 human knights at a certain cost, but their ability to pursue was extremely outstanding.

But before these harpies found the human knight order, these damn humans had to pay the price for their arrogant coveting of the dragon's wealth and treasure!

"Monsters, the main human cavalry is not here, it is their weakest time. Charge boldly! Go up and kill them all, leave none alive!"

The monsters' morale soared. Unlike the eerie and fearful thoughts of the upper echelons, the lower levels of these monsters were overjoyed to hear this news!

Tens of thousands of monsters had no more worries, and they launched a fierce attack on the human defense line from three directions like a tsunami. The howls of various monsters mixed together were enough to give a normal person nightmares for days.

Even the great anger had made the Green Dragon lose its mind. It swooped down from the air and spewed a huge and terrifying dragon breath at the position where Su Li had just stood.

This scene, like a dive bombing, immediately turned the position where Su Li was standing into a mess. A large number of bricks and rubble were flying. In front of the Green Dragon's corrosive acid, this huge terrace was torn apart and almost collapsed.

But fortunately, when Su Li saw the Green Dragon swooping down, he decisively retreated into the castle under the protection of his guards. Through the shooting holes in the castle corridor, he could still see the dragon's huge figure rampaging everywhere in the castle.

Its ferocious claws grabbed onto the castle's high tower, and it frantically spewed dragon breath at the corridors and spiral stairs inside, while angrily roaring: "Despicable humans, your cowardice is as stinky and disgusting as a rat! Where are you hiding? Get out here!"

Responding to it was a dense sound of gunfire. The Thunder Gunners fired a volley, and the white smoke produced by the gunpowder floated from all directions of the castle.

Although these bullets were difficult to penetrate the Green Dragon's hard and powerful scales, the huge impact still brought it bursts of pain.

More importantly, three Dragon Hunting Ballista bolts and two cannonballs were shot towards it.

The Seeking Runes on the Dragon Hunting Ballista made the Green Dragon feel the chill in its bones for the first time. It could see at a glance that what was engraved on it was the dwarves' notorious [Fleksen Seeking Rune]. Countless dragons had died under this rune for thousands of years!

Aililia did not dare to resist head-on, and immediately jumped up from the tower, dodging the three Seeking Runes, but with so many attacks, it could dodge the Dragon Hunting Ballista, but it could not dodge all attacks unscathed. A solid iron cannonball slammed into its dragon's back from the east side.

The huge force caused its entire dragon body to turn into a C shape from east to west!

It couldn't help but roar in pain: "Damn dwarves, you are working so hard, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Of course the dwarves were working hard!

Even their morale in this battle was as high as the rainbow, even more energetic and excited than the humans.

Because in the eyes of the dwarves, stealing the treasure from the dragon's lair was not a despicable act, but a virtue!

The dwarves and their friends should loot the dragon's wealth.

So, unlike the wavering morale of the humans, the dwarves were fighting excitedly, eagerly hoping that this battle could be won. Out of the common anxiety and desire for gold, they dwarves and dragons were natural enemies.

The Dwarven Ranger leader Dogrin roared excitedly in the battle. Even though hundreds of monsters had once again rushed to the first floor of the Black Pike Building, he did not have the slightest fear. He chopped off the head of a troll trying to climb to the second floor with one axe, and then smashed a jackal who sneaked out of the dog hole to attack his back with one shot.

Blood drenched his short, stout body, but he shouted excitedly: "Ah ha ~ I feel the power of the ancestors' blessing! I actually killed a forest troll with one axe, which is a great achievement that even the troll butcher may not be able to achieve."

The elite Dwarven Ranger squad members next to him cheered loudly: "Dogrin, well done! I feel that if you can survive, you have the potential to become a Chosen One in the future."

Survive!

On this dark and desperate battlefield, it was such a luxury word.

The dark figures of the monsters filled the battlefield, and countless blood clots turned the battlefield into a scarlet and black mess.

On every battlefield, the righteous coalition forces were facing the terrible siege of countless monsters.

And this time, there were no powerful knight legions for them. If everyone wanted to survive, they could only fight desperately!

Only by fighting to the death can they stop the monsters' offensive and usher in victory!

This made the two sides fight fiercely, fighting extremely tragically. The battle lasted for four or five hours, the world was bleeding, and the sun and moon were dim.

The corpses of both sides stretched for more than ten miles. One after another, the human positions were lost. For the first time, the monsters successfully broke through the barbican and continued to advance three or four miles into the city. The outer slums were almost turned into ruins.
