Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Faced with Phyllis's threat, Archibald lowered his head, looking down at the blood-soaked pair with contempt, his gaze like that of someone looking at two defeated dogs.

“Heh, I'll give you one night to pack your luggage. Tomorrow at 6 o'clock, we'll set off on time. Remember, this is a notification. You no longer have any right to negotiate with me.”

With that, he raised his hand, and the Eternally Radiant Chosen Knights behind him stopped, calmly lining up behind him, escorting the legendary knight as he stepped over the golden-armored knights scattered on the floor, and left the reception hall with his head held high.

Dietrich immediately came to Su Li's side, bringing the Tears of Pity to his lips, and said, “Lord, it's okay, it's okay! Drinking this potion will make you feel better. We have professional obstetrics and gynecology hospitals, and Phyllis will be fine too.”

Su Li clutched his chest in pain, coughing up a mouthful of blood. He angrily swept away the potion in front of him, clenched his blood-stained left palm, and gritted his teeth, roaring, “Take it away! Before I kill Archibald, there's no need to treat my wounds! Just like he said, this severed finger will remind me to remember today's humiliation!”

The precious Tears of Pity fell to the ground, the sound of the crystal shattering sharp and piercing, a large amount of the holy potion spilling all over the floor, mixing with the blood, making the crimson carpet of the entire reception hall look particularly enchanting.

Su Li never had many enemies because he never held grudges overnight!

He gritted his teeth, painfully bent down, put his hands under Phyllis's armpits, and ignoring the blood on her body, picked her up, tightly embracing her in his arms, hugging her soft and slender body, and said with gritted teeth, “Phyllis, believe me! I will definitely kill this Archibald, so that his Eternal Sword will no longer be eternal and will immediately shatter! I won't let you go to the Souland Province!”

Phyllis's face was pale, and the massive blood loss made her extremely weak, but her spirit was unprecedentedly resilient, with bright and firm light burning in her eyes.

She struggled to raise her hand, gently stroking Su Li's cheek, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and said firmly, “No… cough cough~, Lord, I want to go to the Souland Province! Even if you kill Archibald, I still want to go. I never want to see this scene again, and I never want anyone to hurt you again!”

“Cough~ In the past… in the past, I was too selfish. Enjoying your favor and protection, I was able to be carefree and enjoy happiness and joy. But all this beauty, all my enjoyment, is built on the wings you support. In the future… cough, let me be someone who is also useful to you! I will never allow anyone to hurt you again!”

Su Li immediately hugged her body tightly, saying excitedly, “What nonsense is this! You are my courtier, protecting you is what I, as a man, should do!”

Phyllis's tears welled up in her eyes, hugging Su Li tightly, and said, “Lord, protecting you is also my wish! I can't bear to see Archibald hurt you again. Avril told me that I will be your most important aid in ascending to the throne. Whether it's fate or will, I must go to the Souland Province!”

“Let me serve you one last time tonight.”

Su Li heavily slammed the table, saying resolutely, “You can go to the Souland Province, but not be escorted there in such humiliation! I never hold grudges overnight, Archibald must die!”

After saying that, Su Li instructed Dietrich, “Take Phyllis down for treatment. I'll discuss revenge with the Marshal and the Chief Steward.”

Seeing the firm will burning in Su Li's eyes, Phyllis showed a gratified smile, as long as the Lord was not defeated in confidence by this setback. With the Lord's talent, he will get revenge sooner or later! Archibald is already a dead soul heading to the realm of death.

After several nuns and medical staff escorted Phyllis away, Su Li sat at the long table, gripping his long sword. Hilde released her Divine General form, staggering to Su Li's side. She had just been stopped by four Chosen Knights, leaving several hideous wounds on her body.

But she didn't frown once, until she knelt beside Su Li, hugging his left hand with a severed finger, and couldn't help but burst into tears, “Lord, it's all my fault! It's all my fault! If I were more diligent and had a higher realm, perhaps you wouldn't have been injured today!”

Su Li immediately hugged her head, letting her lean into his arms, and comforted her, “Honey, don't say such things. You've really been very fast, cultivating day and night, breaking through to a Chosen Knight so quickly, it's almost unprecedented. How can you be faster?”

“We just haven't had enough time to accumulate strength. Archibald, we'll kill him sooner or later!”

Hilde firmly believed in this, and immediately nodded heavily, looking up at Su Li, and said, “Lord, I must cut off his skull and refine it into a decoration for your scabbard.”

Su Li turned to look at Orstein, who also had anger burning in his eyes, and asked, “My Marshal, do you have any plans?”

Orstein gripped his warhammer, quickly thinking about all the possibilities, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a way to get revenge right now.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too great. The 12 Chosen Knights alone were like an insurmountable mountain, not to mention that Archibald was a legendary knight who had been through many battles.

To kill him under the protection of more than a thousand Eternally Radiant Knights, unless a stronger person who had cultivated for longer than him took action, crushing all his resistance.

Didn't Archibald like to bully the weak and use his strength to oppress others?

Then let him die in the same aggrieved way, at the hands of a stronger person!

This is called those who play with swords are bound to die by the sword!

But what the territory needs most right now is time. He pondered for a long time, but still had no clue, only clarifying one key point: “We must kill him before he returns to the Souland Province. On this return journey, although he still has more than 1,000 Eternally Radiant Knights around him, it is his weakest time. If he returns to the Souland Province and obtains the authority of the Souland Grand Prince's territory, it will be even more impossible to kill him.”

A faint sound of footsteps came from the blood-stained carpet. Aileria walked over slowly, holding her scepter. Her condition was still very good, mainly because she didn't have the impulse to fight desperately, plus the emerald scepter in her hand was extremely powerful, so dealing with three knights was still easy for her.

She glanced lightly at the three people, either kneeling or sitting, frowned at the hideous wounds on their bodies and the blood all over them, and said lightly, “You should take care of yourselves first. In your current state, if you stay in the territory, the other party will still have some scruples. But if you actively go to the wilderness to attack them, they can just kill wantonly without any scruples. That's a legendary knight, no matter how many of you go, it's just sending you to your death.”

“Do we have no choice but to endure?” Su Li asked, gritting his teeth.

Aileria said lightly, “Enduring and developing is your best choice. Reckless impulsiveness will only pay a greater price. That's all I have to say, I'm going to sleep on your Wisteria tree for a while. This is the reward I deserve, you won't be stingy, will you?”

No wonder this green dragon was so kind to help fight, it turned out that she had taken a fancy to the characteristics of the Blessed Wisteria tree, which gathered a large amount of Gillon's wind. That is the vortex where Gillon's life force gathers, which is suitable for the green dragon to settle down and sleep.

It can be said that if the green dragon can hibernate here for half a year, the progress in strength she gains will be equivalent to her sleeping for ten years in other places. After all, dragons have long lives, and they don't like to cultivate, spending most of their lives sleeping. Having such a good place means that the green dragon can have a better lifestyle.

Su Li didn't have the mood to care about her, so he waved his hand and said to Aileria, “Do as you please.”

After she left, Hilde held Su Li's left hand with a severed finger and said, “Lord, Aileria is currently the most calm-minded of all of us. I think it's necessary to listen to her opinion. Even if Archibald takes Phyllis away, we can't be impulsive. They still have several months before they reach the Souland Province. We can calm down and choose the most suitable time to strike, to ensure that we don't move unless we have to, and when we do, we must kill!”

“Now your top priority is to appease Phyllis, after all, we can continue to endure and wait in the Black Forest Territory, accumulating strength. But she has to be alone, far away from home, going to a completely unfamiliar, cold place surrounded by powerful enemies. Her loneliness and pressure are the greatest.”

Timing!

That's right, Su Li also took a deep breath, reminding himself.

He can express anger, but he cannot express it angrily.

The more critical the moment, the more he must be calm and rational, and use his greatest advantage. He must not let anger control his brain and do things that hurt his loved ones and please his enemies.

Then he took a deep breath and said, “Hilde, you're right. I'll go and appease Phyllis, even if it's revenge, there's no need to be impulsive. My Chief Steward, go and select 60 of the most loyal, reliable, and talented knights, and let them serve as Phyllis's guards.”

“We are Phyllis's home and backing. Even if she leaves, she must have a group of confidants and cronies, so that she won't have no one to use when she gets to the Souland Province.”

“My Marshal, you immediately discuss a revenge plan with Lord Rongen. I always take revenge on the spot, and I don't want Archibald, this villain, to swagger for too long!”

Hilde and Orstein immediately stood up and saluted solemnly, saying, “We respect your will, Lord!”

After arranging everything, Su Li simply bandaged his wounds and returned to the Blessed Wisteria tree.

The green dragon had already revealed her original form, lying on the huge canopy of the Blessed Wisteria tree. Her dark green, hideous, and craggy body pressed on the blooming Wisteria tree, which was truly a vivid representation of the current situation in the territory, with an ugly and dark situation shrouding the vibrant territory. And the green dragon may leave at any time, just like the pressure brought by Archibald may disappear at any time. The territory will eventually flourish and grow, the green dragon is no match, and neither is Archibald!

Su Li paused for a moment as he looked at this scene, then pushed open the tree house under the Wisteria tree and walked into the room.

Ingrid and Avril were taking care of Phyllis. There were still traces of blood wiped in the room, but Ingrid's cold personality didn't have any complaints, and she was still patiently taking care of Phyllis.

Seeing the gauze on Su Li's hand soaked in blood, she became even more nervous, immediately stepped forward, held his hand, and asked, “Honey, how's your hand? Ah? Is it that serious? Why don't you use medicine?”

Su Li pretended to be relaxed and said, “It's nothing, compared to the wounds when fighting the green dragon, it's insignificant, and not even worth using medicine.”

Aileria yawned on the canopy and pretended not to hear, turning around and continuing to rest.

With a large amount of Gillon's wind washing over her, the Slaanesh erosion on her body was much weaker. For so long, her body had rarely been so relaxed.

Su Li then walked to the bedside and looked at Phyllis and asked, “Phyllis, how are you?”

Phyllis's face was no longer as pale as before, but rather a little rosy: “I've already taken the medicine, and that little injury will be completely healed soon. Then Avril also gave me Star Dew Sweet Oranges and Emerald Grain to replenish my vitality and purify the pain and despair in my heart, and I'm in very good condition.”

“That's good.” Su Li nodded and said, “Don't be stingy with these extraordinary fruits. It's most important to adjust your condition to the best. I'll stay here with you today.”

Avril tightly twisted her fingers together, struggled for a long time, and then hesitated and stammered, “Young… Young Master, I have something I don't know if I should say.”

Su Li gently stroked Phyllis's cheek, turned to look at Avril, and asked, “What's the matter? Just say it, what can't we say between us?”

“Then I'll just say it.” Avril bit her cherry lips and asked, “Are you really going to let Phyllis go to the cold and unfamiliar Souland Province alone? That would be too desperate for her.”

Phyllis immediately gripped Su Li's palm and shook her head, saying, “I'm willing to go, Lord.”

Avril looked at Phyllis, hesitated for a moment, and said, “But if there's only one line connecting you, it's like a kite with a broken string, never to return.”

Su Li turned to look at Avril and asked, “A kite with a broken string? What do you want to say?”

Avril walked to the bedside, hugged Su Li from behind, put her hands against his chest, and said slowly, “Young Master, I want to go to the Souland Province with Phyllis, to take care of her and comfort her. With her, with me, and with your child, the three of us twisted into a rope, even if the line is broken, we won't drift away with the wind, but will fall from the sky and return to your palm.”

Su Li's heart tightened, and he felt pain in his entire chest. These three people, one was the first woman he had after transmigrating, using her body to soothe his nervousness and anxiety, one was his first child, flesh and blood, and one was protecting him with her life, and was also the key aid for him to ascend to the throne.

If they all left, then he really couldn't bear to part with them, and he would definitely kill his way into the Souland Province and bring them all back.

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

Phyllis's eyes also lit up. Avril's relationship with her was indeed the closest. Although in the past, Avril's closeness to her during cultivation always made her feel a little shy and embarrassed.

But if Avril could really go to the Souland Province with her, then it would undoubtedly be the warmest and strongest support for her in that cold and unfamiliar environment.

So, Phyllis propped herself up and sat up, pulling Su Li's head into her arms, and said seriously, "My Lord, let Avril and I serve you one last night together. After today, our next meeting may be years later, or even... we don't know if there will be another chance to meet."

Su Li immediately hugged her slender waist and said, "If anyone in the Province of Suhrland dares to hurt you, I will make them pay the price. This slaughter will begin with Archibald!"

Phyllis gently leaned down and kissed his cheek tenderly, her eyes full of deep affection and determination: "My Lord, I believe in you. No matter how high the mountains and how far the rivers, no matter how time flows, I will be in the Province of Suhrland, waiting for you to come!"

Soon, the atmosphere in the house gradually became sweet and passionate. To leave Su Li with a perfect and sweet memory, Avril and Phyllis were entangled with him to the death, using all their charm and serving him with all their might.

The velvet curtains constantly echoed with the trembling of golden bells, as it was Phyllis's first time trying the brass bells.

The tinkling sounds, wrapped in Avril's tearful murmurs, brewed into a dizzying vortex of incense and spiritual liquid.

The rustling of long skirts and jewelry sliding off, the splashing of wine dripping down the spine, the alternating gasps and whispers, tapped out a feverish rhythm in the moonlit night.

On the wisteria tree, Erythrea's tail tip was immersed in the pale blue vortex formed by the Winds of Gielinor. Star-like magical particles drilled into her bone marrow along the gaps in her scales, purifying the anxiety from Slaanesh's corruption in her body, making her body exceptionally light.

But whenever the sound of the bed curtains and bells shaking came from inside the house, its dorsal fin would flare up reflexively, and the newly repaired tree trunk and vines under its claws would crack again with spider web patterns.

"Damn night wind!" The green dragon hid its chin in a mass of wisteria petals, the blue Winds of Gielinor flowing on its dragon horns flickering on and off. "Stay for another quarter of an hour and absorb another quarter of an hour of the Winds of Gielinor's power," it annoyedly covered its head with its wings, but couldn't cover the toes that suddenly curled up with a certain delicate gasp—they were still stuck with a few crushed wisteria branches.

The Winds of Gielinor suddenly strengthened, and emerald scales surged with verdant light waves like wind-blown wheat. Erythrea comfortably overflowed with a dragon's roar in her throat, and her tailbone made a crisp cracking sound.

But at this moment, Phyllis cried out with a sob, "Darling," startling the green dragon's right forepaw to retreat sharply, tearing off half of the beautiful wisteria vine.

Her heartbeat also accelerated suddenly. The Slaanesh corruption on her body was purified, but the commotion in her heart could not be restrained.

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, and another quarter of an hour. With constant postponements, the eastern sky had unknowingly begun to dawn.

When the indigo morning mist seeped through the gaps in her scales, Erythrea realized that the morning dew had soaked her paw pads. Her emerald tail tip unconsciously curled around the branches of the wisteria tree crown that were about to fall. There were seventeen circles of vines that she had broken in panic last night wrapped around it, and each vine recorded Phyllis's suddenly raised trembling voice. The moonlight illuminated the flowing rose-red light pulses under its reverse scales, as if locking the entire night's lingering affection into her chest.

The falling snow was all melted around her hot breath. She had been hiding in the treetops, her heart beating rapidly, eavesdropping on the rustling sound of changing clothes from inside the house. Before the dawn had even broken, two slender figures walked out of the room wearing white mink cloaks. In the snow, they supported each other, turning back to gaze at the tree house for more than a quarter of an hour, and then quietly turned and left, leaving only a few crystal tears, disappearing into the vast snow.

This dark and desperate world treats everyone equally, without mercy or hope for any identity, even for a carefree girl or a hopeful lord.

They didn't say goodbye to Su Li when they left, after all, last night's death entanglement had already expressed everything.

There was no need to say anything more now. They wanted the last impression they left on the territory and their lover to be sweet and happy.

They didn't want each other to see the most embarrassing scene.

Before dawn, in the hazy morning mist, Phyllis and Avril left the territory under the escort of a large number of Eternal Light Knights.

On the tower of the Bauhinia Manor, Su Li silently watched this scene, and couldn't help but think of when he set off from the Bauhinia Castle, perhaps Count Sunar was also watching silently like this.

Ingrid stood by his side, her clear eyes gazing coldly at the flags gradually disappearing into the snow in the distance, and asked, "You're already awake, why don't you go see them?"

Su Li clenched the long sword in his hand, his murderous aura awe-inspiring, and said, "I will go see them after I kill Archibald and wash away the humiliation of all of us."

Ingrid sighed and said, "You put too much pressure on yourself. You've only established the territory for less than a year, there's no need to compare yourself to those duchies with thousands of years of inheritance. Even Archibald has ruled the territory for more than 70 years."

When the figures in the distance completely disappeared into the snow, Su Li turned and walked down the stairs, and said, "It may not be a bad thing that this kind of thing happened. It lets me know how big the gap is between me and true power. It also saves me from being arrogant, complacent, and slack."

But time will make Su Li clear about what he lost in this change.

After Phyllis and Avril left, the once lively and cheerful manor suddenly became deserted. Hilda was cultivating desperately, and Freya herself was not considered Su Li's female courtier. The courtiers who stayed with Su Li were actually only Ingrid alone.

And this witch's silent and cold personality made the manor particularly quiet and deserted.

For more than half a month, except for the lingering gasps that Ingrid made at night to soothe Su Li's depression, and the pleas for mercy that made the green dragon blush and heartbeat, there was almost no sound in the entire manor.

But strangely, this green dragon actually put down a large number of treasures in its nest and lived on the wisteria tree crown.

However, at present, the Black Forest Territory is working hard to know its shame and be brave, and Su Li has stayed in the tree house for more than half a month without coming out, and no one has the extra energy to pay attention to it.

This atmosphere was not broken until the morning half a month later, when a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility of the manor. Hilda pushed open the tree house, knelt beside Su Li, stroked his back, and said, "My Lord, the territory has finally ushered in a piece of good news worth celebrating, which may be able to change your mood. The team sent by the Dwarf High King has arrived in our territory."

"The Dwarf High King's envoy is here?" Su Li suddenly perked up.

Archibald, your death is near!

Perhaps Phyllis will be the only elector's heir to come to the province of Suhrland with a large army as its master!
