Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

From the moment the impending decisive battle was announced, Black Forest territory entered a state of full preparation.

The outcome of this battle would determine victory or defeat, survival or destruction.

Therefore, under the full mobilization of the newly appointed Provincial Governor Oliver, the territory almost ceased all internal affairs and production, maximizing its military mobilization efforts.

The territory's Dire Wolf Mercenary团, Blue Heron Mercenary团 were all urgently conscripted, along with members of the Red Brotherhood, bringing the scale of these standing freemen regiments to over 500 people.

Then, the territory temporarily hired more than 300 mercenaries, ranger knights, caravan guards, and other freemen with outstanding combat capabilities who were traveling through the Black Forest territory. This was a mandatory conscription, and they were directly incorporated into the freemen regiments and placed under military control.

In addition to these 800+ soldiers with excellent combat skills, Oliver also mobilized 1,000 freemen, including landowners, wealthy artisans, merchants, and farmers, including a squadron of dwarven thunder musketeers.

It is worth mentioning that this also included more than 60 survivors from other pioneering territories annexed by the territory from the southeast. These pioneering territory members came from the Empire's Tyrr Tys territory, were known for their fierce folk customs, and were skilled at making chariots. When they joined the territory, they brought four chariots, which had excellent impact force.

Marshal Erstein brought back a large number of armor and warhorses after returning from the north, which greatly alleviated the territory's equipment shortage.

However, three days passed, and Su Li did not wait for the arrival of the Green Dragon Legion, but instead welcomed the first thunderstorm of autumn.

One autumn rain brings one chill; after this heavy rain, the weather will turn significantly colder.

However, the heavy rain also meant that it was more advantageous for defense. The Green Dragon Legion's main force was already slow-moving, and in this torrential rain, the muddy roads would further slow down their march.

The Black Forest territory, however, was relatively less affected. The blacksmiths inside the castle were working around the clock, and the dwarves had practically entered a carnival atmosphere. This kind of life, where they could freely sweat and forge weapons and armor, was their favorite.

Every day and night, these blacksmith shops would successfully forge a dozen longswords and two or three sets of armor. When gathered together, the scale was quite considerable. Since Marshal Erstein's return, the territory's total military production has reached more than 100 weapons and 30 sets of armor per day, and two sets of Vibration Gold Rune Armor are also produced every day.

Every day the decisive battle is delayed, the strength of the Black Forest territory grows by one point.

However, it is a pity that the Black Forest territory's rare-grade weapons have not yet been produced. Su Li also doesn't understand why a weapon requires four or five champion-level dwarves to hammer away at it, sparks flying from their hammers, and it still hasn't been forged after so many days.

A perfect-grade weapon only takes a day or two to forge, so why does a rare-grade weapon take so long? Could it be that the inscription of the runes exceeds their ability limit?

But Su Li couldn't help, and at this critical moment, disturbing the dwarves, even if Su Li was the lord, he might be cursed out by these stubborn and grumpy dwarves.

So Su Li simply took Erstein to the Blackwater River and started fishing.

In fact, he wasn't too worried that the territory residents would be able to fish away the Storm Drake Eel. Fishing for this kind of carnivorous extraordinary fish requires the flesh of a God-Chosen level creature, and the territory residents clearly don't have that level of bait.

However, Su Li found joy in being a fisherman by fishing for this fish, because the effect of the God-Chosen-level rat meat was really too good. As soon as this bait entered the water, the blood and bloody smell spread out, attracting a large number of fish to come and snatch it.

After fishing for a morning, although Su Li didn't catch the Storm Drake Eel, he did catch more than a dozen ordinary silver carp and bass, and even a trout weighing more than 40 pounds, almost breaking the fishing line Su Li made with extraordinary spider silk.

After noon, the heavy rain cleared up slightly, and Marshal Erstein put down his fishing rod and said to Su Li, "Lord, I have to go back and train the soldiers as soon as possible. These newly conscripted freemen regiments are still accustomed to the casual way of fighting in the past, like lone rangers, and don't understand cooperation. This is a big taboo on the battlefield. They must undergo a period of training to strengthen their military discipline and improve their ability to obey orders and cooperate in combat."

Su Li had a fish biting his hook, and upon hearing this, he could only reel in the line while saying, "Then go ahead and get busy. I'll continue to work hard here. I'll treat you to fish tonight."

"Ingrid, come and help me, prepare the landing net."

But the strength of this fish was simply beyond imagination. Su Li and Ingrid, this beautiful witch, fought it for more than ten minutes. The fish was still full of energy, biting the rat meat tightly, tumbling on the riverbank, and even jumping out of the water directly.

Ingrid's body was delicate and weak, and her strength was no match for the knights. She was already panting and asked, "Lord, could this be the Storm Drake Eel?"

In fact, the fun of fishing and hunting is the same, both are the joy brought by harvest and hunting. Such a big fish tumbling in the water, although Su Li was very tired from the battle, he was very excited, and said, "No matter what it is, I have to catch it."

Su Li directly boiled his blood and stimulated the ability of [Scarlet Blood Authority], allowing the fish to feel the pressure of a dragon and lose its strength.

However, this big fish was also unwilling to be subdued, and actually released the lightning current on its body. Ingrid, who was helping Su Li hold the rod, exclaimed and collapsed to the ground, her delicate green robe revealing a glimpse of spring from the slit of the skirt, her round white silk legs shining brightly.

Seeing this scene, Su Li's blood was directly excited. He roared and suddenly reeled in the line, and a giant python-like indigo blue fish was pulled out of the water.

It really was a Storm Drake Eel!

This Storm Drake Eel weighed at least 80-100 pounds. Its open fish mouth was full of sharp teeth. The armed attendants guarding it immediately stepped forward and put the big fish into a vine-woven fish basket, which contained more than a dozen fish that Su Li had caught.

However, as soon as the Storm Drake Eel entered it, it began a bloody massacre, eating three large fish weighing more than ten pounds in one breath.

This made Su Li, after helping Ingrid up, gasp when he saw this scene and said, "We can't raise too many of these Storm Drake Eels, otherwise our territory's holy land will be turned into a blood pool by them."

But things didn't go as planned. Su Li thought he would leave after catching two, but the rain didn't stop for long and started again. He could only continue fishing under the rain-shielding umbrella.

Ingrid's cold and quiet personality is indeed a good companion for fishing. Don't say that women are unwilling to accompany men; it's just that the woman hasn't been moved. When she really falls in love with you, even if you're fishing, she can sit quietly beside you.

Even the heavy rain couldn't drive her away.

It's just that men and women get close easily, and even if the man doesn't want to, the woman can't help but come up with the love in her heart to kiss and hug.

Especially after being rained on, Ingrid couldn't help but sit in Su Li's arms when the wind blew, leaning against his small stove-like chest to keep warm.

Then the two snuggled together, and unconsciously the posture became intimate. She wrapped her arms around Su Li's neck, her delicate green robe fluttering, and a pair of white silk legs were exposed from both sides of the high-slit skirt, straddling Su Li's legs.

Lovers are always used to sitting like this. Women always seem to be able to find this suitable posture.

And Su Li couldn't resist the teasing, so he decisively started a knight training led by Ingrid.

The training continued until the sky showed a rosy glow in the evening, and Su Li put away his rod and returned to the Zijing Manor with Ingrid. In this afternoon, he successfully caught three Storm Drake Eels, and also diligently cultivated three times!

He couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his diligence. With this kind of spirit of seizing every minute and second to cultivate, he felt that he would definitely be able to break through to the intermediate elite knight level within the year.

And this kind of training led by Ingrid was also suitable for her, making her feel happy and refreshed.

Even at night, she was not exhausted. On the contrary, she took Su Li to her fantasy garden to continue cultivating.

What made Su Li more excited was that the Star Dew Sweet Orange in the garden had already produced small tangerine-sized fruits.

This fruit is not like the Holy Blessing Purple Vine fruit pod, which has an insignificant effect. It can directly remove most of the toxins in the world. The detoxification effect is very real. Successfully purifying the toxicity is purifying it, and no one can erase or deny it, so its price will be very considerable.

And its fragrance is also extremely fresh and pleasant, making it a raw material for top perfumes.

Su Li checked these fruits and asked Ingrid, "How much perfume can these fruits make?"

Ingrid leaned slightly, and the full curves of her chest bent the branches of the sweet orange. She gently smelled the sweet and fresh fragrance of the sweet orange and said, "This Star Dew Sweet Orange has grown 24 sweet oranges. Anna Lise helped me find some books on brewing perfume. According to my estimation, the first year's fruit is still relatively green and not suitable for eating. If all of them are made into perfume, there will be between 30 and 40 bottles, and the price of each bottle will definitely not be less than 100 gold crowns."

Then calculate it according to the lowest number, there are also 3000 gold crowns.

Su Li felt that after defeating the Green Dragon's invasion, before the end of the year, he must conduct a financial liquidation to see how much wealth the territory has earned this year.

He felt that the territory already had many specialties. Grain exports could earn thousands of gold crowns, medicinal material exports could earn thousands of gold crowns, and wine, perfume, spices, etc. were famous specialties of the territory, which yielded a lot.

These items, colorful and complex, brought Su Li a steady stream of income from various fields. It was indeed necessary for a capable minister to carefully sort out how much income and tax there was in total this year.

And Su Li also remembered the slender figure of that little wizard Anna Lise. She always wore a hood, hiding the cheeks imprinted with the Purple Wind Scar in the darkness, but just looking at her curvy figure and the meat-colored legs under the gray robe could make people feel hot in the lower abdomen and excited.

In addition to brewing wine, she actually found a set of books on brewing perfume for Ingrid. It seems that I need to spare some energy for cultivation to her, and use the surging life essence to purify the purple wind on her cheeks.

Just as Su Li was thinking, a rush of footsteps interrupted Su Li's thoughts, and the heroic figure of the high-level attendant General Hilder appeared in the garden.

Su Li turned his head in surprise to look at her. This knight general rarely set foot in the wizard's garden. Generally, after nightfall, if Su Li was cultivating here, she rarely disturbed Su Li and Ingrid's retreat.

"What happened?"

Hilder immediately replied, "Lord, the Minister of Agriculture has an urgent report. When they went to Lake Levlin to release the Storm Drake Eel, they found a large number of Green Dragon minions."

When Su Li heard this, he was immediately refreshed. The Green Dragon's minions were already close to the central plain of the territory?

Then it seems that he won't be able to cultivate with Anna Lise tonight. He decisively said, "Immediately summon Marshal Erstein, Rong En Priest, and Dietrich Priest, and prepare for the decisive battle with the Green Dragon."

Hilder immediately straightened her chest and replied excitedly, "Yes, we will go all out and prepare to defeat the Green Dragon in one battle!"

The territory's knights had actually accumulated a long time of fighting spirit. Since entering the Black Forest territory, the Green Dragon's huge shadow of destroying everything had shrouded everyone's heads. Every knight fought bravely and trained desperately in order to deal with this inevitable destructive disaster.

Now it was finally time to accumulate and explode. The territory's knights were eager to decide the victory or defeat on the battlefield and end this more than half a year of continuous pressure!

After Hilder left, Ingrid put her arm around Su Li's arm and said in a cold tone, "Wait a moment before you leave. I'll get you something."

Su Li paused and looked at Ingrid's back as she walked towards the tree house in surprise, wondering what else she had hidden.

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

Could she be giving me gold coins again?

In fact, Ingrid is a little rich woman. Her wealth may be the most of all Su Li's female courtiers.

Witchcraft props are always bestsellers, just like on the Black Forest territory's commercial street, large and small vendors are peddling some strange arcane equipment or witchcraft props.

The witchcraft props made by Ingrid, even if they are all sold to the territory, are also very profitable.

Then the second richest is Hilder. She actually receives the salary Su Li gives her, which is more than 150 gold crowns per month. In addition, she also has her own spoils of war on the battlefield, and her merit rewards and shares can also bring in a considerable amount of wealth.

The least wealthy is Phyllis. She relies entirely on helping Su Li count gold coins, and Su Li finds reasons to give them to her. She probably only has dozens of gold coins in her hand. Of course, this number is actually not small, equivalent to the wealth that an ordinary civilian can save in a lifetime without eating, drinking, getting sick, or suffering disasters.

So if the territory's finances collapse, these female courtiers can lend him money to support the territory for two or three months.

This also means that Su Li actually knows their wealth. He remembers that Ingrid should not have anything special.

But to Su Li's surprise, Ingrid really came to Su Li with a wooden box decorated with brass patterns, pearls, and gems, and handed it to Su Li, saying, "You must win. I'll wait for you to come back."

After Su Li took it, he found that the weight inside was amazing, pressing his hand down. He stared at Ingrid's cold cheeks and asked, "Can I open it and see?"

"Yes, it's already given to you."

The box wasn't locked. Su Li gently lifted the lid, and a dazzling display of jewels and treasures burst forth, with a large number of necklaces, amulets, and rings piled inside, filling the entire wooden box.

"This is!?" Su Li's eyes widened, his breathing becoming a little rapid.

"They are Rings of Savagery and Amulets of Destiny. There are only 4 Amulets of Destiny, but there are 48 Rings of Savagery."

Su Li immediately closed the box, excitedly hugging her slightly slender and delicate body tightly, and said with great emotion, "When did you make so many Rings of Savagery? I always remembered that you didn't like making these kinds of rings of slaughter."

Ingrid was a forest witch, and her aloof temperament determined that she didn't like killing. If he even asked her to make too many Rings of Savagery, she might directly disappear into the misty forest on a foggy morning.

But Su Li didn't expect that she would silently change for him and make so many Rings of Savagery.

Ingrid slowly raised her arms, hugging Su Li's body, and looked up at him, saying, "Because of you, my principles have been lowered again and again, and there is nothing left to insist on. I only have one principle now, and that is to be able to spend a lifetime with you in peace. I can do anything for this."

"Don't disappoint me, don't let my only expectation fall through."

Su Li immediately embraced her delicate body and gave her a forceful peck on her slightly cool cherry lips, saying, "Don't worry, I will never let you down. Be good and wait for me in the garden. I will return with victory and flowers, and build you an even more magnificent and fantastical garden."

Afterward, Su Li quickly walked out of the garden, rode Deathclaw, and quickly flew to Black Forest Castle.

Looking down from the sky at this time, he could see that the originally peaceful territory had been completely disrupted. Soldiers were pouring out of the camp, their armor shining with a cold light under the faint starlight.

After that, various armed squires and knight teams quickly gathered, arranged into neat sequences, holding flags and torches, forming long, winding dragons, and quickly marched towards Black Forest Castle, preparing to gather.

When Su Li arrived at the Black Forest Castle conference hall, the long table was already full of the territory's generals and ministers on both sides.

From the high-ranking chief steward Hilde, the military commander Orstein, to the heads of the knightly orders Constantine, Freya, and Connor, then the priests of the various churches, Rongen, Dietrich, Lunadesan, and Fandar Oak, and finally a large number of champion-level officers of the territory, from the Ripper Tiberos, Lionheart Roland, Crystal Lance Thor, to the grassroots officers, the Dwarf Ranger leader Doglin, the Fallen Wolf leader Gronlong, the Blue Heron Mercenary Corps leader Bernhardt, etc.

These officers, fierce generals, and knight captains were all gathered together, neatly sitting on both sides of the long table, and the orderly queue of dozens of people was exciting to see.

Especially the moment Su Li walked into the room, everyone stood up neatly at the same time, the sound of heels clicking together, and the sound of armor colliding was majestic and uplifting, making people feel heroic and feel like they were in a world of war.

With so many elite knights and valiant generals, what if the green dragon's claws and teeth covered the mountains and plains? He still had the confidence to lead the territory's elite infantry and cavalry and completely defeat them in one battle!

When Su Li walked into the room, all the knights immediately raised their shoulders vigorously and saluted solemnly with a fist to their chest: "Greetings, Lord! May the glorious light of the goddess forever shine upon you."

Su Li waved his hand and said to everyone, "There is a big battle ahead, no need to be polite, everyone sit down."

So the knights sat down neatly, the sound of armor colliding was majestic and pleasant.

After everyone sat down, Su Li asked, "What's the situation now? Are we just letting them gather so calmly?"

Orstein immediately said, "We have already sent knights to constantly harass their advance. The rapid attacks of small-scale cavalry have forced them to defend cautiously."

"At the same time, the dwarves are also riding battle rams, carrying thunder horns, and actively and rapidly engaging monsters in all directions, allowing the God-chosen peak Dwarf Ancestral Spirit to fight against the various legions of monsters one after another."

"Under this delay and blocking, we estimate that the green dragon's legion will not be able to reach the bottom of the castle until early tomorrow morning at the earliest."

Sometimes absolute scale is an absolute and unsolvable tactic. The army advances slowly, which allows the opponent no opportunity to take advantage of.

After the monsters understood the reality of the territory, they obviously wanted to use their absolute numerical advantage to directly submerge the territory.

"The vanguard is still gnolls and goblins, but they are not moving fast, and they are not far from the rear treants, forest giants, forest trolls, human skin wolves and other legions. With so many troops advancing slowly, it is clear that the main monster force has been dispatched."
