Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Su Li's confident declaration of victory was made easily, but in reality, Chosen Ones are not so easily killed.

From the moment Eising Warlock was hit by Hild's Holy Guidance Arrow, pinned firmly to the wall, to Orstein's forced breakthrough of the two Skaven Chosen-level assassins' defenses, smashing them into minced meat on the ground, a very long and intense battle ensued.

Such a long time was enough for Freya to tie up her hair, kneel, and help Su Li cultivate once.

Not long after Eising Warlock was killed, just as Su Li had tied Freya up with the red rope, put Slaanesh's Brass Bell on her, and lit the low-temperature candles, Hild arrived at the top floor of the castle, excitedly reporting to Su Li: "Lord, we have successfully killed four Skaven Chosen-level assassins."

Su Li immediately handed the candle to Avril, then kissed Freya on her smooth back, and said to Avril, "You guys set the mood for a while, I'll be back."

Leaving the room, Su Li excitedly asked Hild, "What are the spoils? How are you and Marshal Orstein doing?"

Hild replied with a smile, "With the presence of the religious icon and laurel gemstone, Marshal Orstein and I are both in good condition. After the Skaven were exposed, their combat power was not worth mentioning. The reason it took so long to resolve the battle was that Marshal Orstein wanted to take them down more steadily."

"In this battle, our marshal has gained a great deal. He alone smashed four Skaven Chosen Ones, which even angered the Great Horned Rat, who bestowed upon him a curse [Dark Thirst for Revenge]. From now on, all Skaven attacks against him will become more fierce and have a curse effect. As long as a Skaven blade breaks his flesh, it will infect him with pustule disease. If it cannot be quickly cleared, this disease will continue to spread, eventually causing his limbs to rot like a leper, with maggots and mites breeding on his skin, ultimately leading to a complete physical collapse."

Su Li took a deep breath and asked, "The Skaven god, the Great Horned Rat, personally cursed him? Doesn't that mean our marshal will not be able to get rid of this curse even at the Sanctuary stage? Unless he, like Redmayne and Violet, ascends from mortal to god."

Hild nodded and said, "That's right. This curse is very powerful, and even another god cannot purify it."

"Of course, having paid such a heavy price, our marshal has also gained a huge amount of divine grace. His name will be known throughout the Church of the Blazing Sun, and every believer will know his title of Lion King."

"This will be a powerful title bestowed upon him by the Blazing Sun Goddess, with a sacred effect. He and the army he leads will have a portion of the Swift Strike effect when fighting against the Skaven, increasing their power and speed by no less than 20%."

That was indeed an extremely rich reward, actually being able to fix the Swift Strike effect. Although it couldn't double the attack speed like an active divine spell, the current situation was clearly a huge improvement.

No knight could refuse the temptation of a 20% increase in their own strength and speed. Perhaps even extraordinary spiritual fruits don't have such a powerful effect.

At least the three kinds of spiritual trees that Su Li is currently cultivating do not have the ability to permanently increase a knight's strength.

The key is that this effect can also take effect on the army he leads, which is simply unbelievably powerful.

It seemed that the Blazing Sun Goddess did indeed appreciate Marshal Orstein's performance in this battle.

While Su Li and Hild were talking, Orstein had already cleaned the blood from his body in the bath and came to the upper levels of the castle with the spoils.

After seeing Su Li, he said with great excitement: "Lord, thank you for your guidance. This battle has brought me unparalleled glory. I seem to have heard the voice of praise from the Blazing Sun Goddess."

Orstein's gratitude was extremely sincere. He sincerely felt that his decision to follow the lord to the Border Principality was the wisest choice of his life.

When he was in the Barony of Thorns, he was trapped in the Elite rank for many years and could not see a glimmer of light.

But after joining Black Forest, he fought day and night, not only breaking through to the Chosen Knight rank, but also feeling as if a bright road leading to the Legendary rank was paved in front of him when he heard the holy voice of praise from the Blazing Sun Goddess!

The Legendary rank was a true rarity in the empire. Any Legendary rank knight could maintain an equal position in front of a duke or even an elector. If a Legendary rank knight was willing to join any territory, they would at least be granted the title of Earl.

In the empire, the number of Legendary ranks was probably the smallest, far less than the Sanctuary rank.

However, although the Sanctuary rank had a lifespan of thousands of years, they rarely appeared and their whereabouts were unknown once they entered the Sanctuary rank.

In fact, the Legendary rank was the most top-level combat power that could be seen in the empire on weekdays, and it was also the Legendary rank that held the highest power in the empire.

Su Li also gave great respect to this knight who had a great possibility of entering the Legendary rank in the future. He smiled and stepped forward, raising his arm and patting his muscular arm, and said, "If you say such polite words, then I should also thank you for helping me kill four Skaven Chosen Ones who harmed the territory."

Orstein immediately put his feet together, stood upright, and said, "How can this be the same? Guarding the territory is my duty."

Su Li said with a smile: "Then it is the duty of me, the lord, to lead all of you knights to become stronger and richer, and to make the territory prosperous and strong."

Orstein was really stunned for a long time, and said, "I have never heard of this statement."

Su Li was also stunned for a moment. Are the nobles of the empire so carefree? Only enjoy power, but have no obligations?

That's not right, the empire's lords are only responsible for guarding the territory. As long as something happens, they really go into battle. It is his power to abuse the territory's people and rule brutally.

It seems that the nobles here in the empire are still free and easy.

Su Li sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, tell me about the spoils of this battle?"

Speaking of this, Orstein immediately sorted out the armor on his body and threw all the spoils he brought on the ground. Although the Skaven Chosen Ones were not strong, their weapons were definitely top-notch. Even though Orstein was wearing sturdy Vibranium Rune Armor, it was poked with holes.

The wounds on his body had quickly scabbed under Dietrich's healing, but the holes in the armor were not so easy to repair.

But because of this, Orstein was particularly excited and said: "Lord, the Skaven's weapons are extremely sharp. One of the daggers was recognized by Dogrin as the Angmar Nibbling Blade, a famous short knife of the Skaven Eshin Clan."

"There is also a dagger and a staff of comparable quality. Dogrin plans to melt these rare weapons and forge them into warhammers and long swords. This way, when we have a final battle with the Green Dragon, we will have the sharp blades to slay the dragon!"

"Even if the staff cannot be melted, it can be taken to Marienburg for auction. The Skaven will pay a very high price for it. The price of a rare weapon will not be less than 5,000 gold crowns, and the price of a wizard's staff is especially high, and it will sell for at least 10,000 gold crowns. It is very likely that several Skaven clans will send human spies to auction these weapons for them."

10,000 gold crowns for a weapon?

Su Li couldn't help laughing excitedly. Hahaha, this time he really made a fortune.

The weapons that dropped can support his territory's finances for another two months.

Moreover, the rare weapons that are melted out will really pose a fatal threat to the dragon.

Just imagine a 30-meter god general wielding a 40-meter golden shining sword, slashing towards the dragon's neck, that kind of power is enough to scare a group of monsters to their livers and gallbladders.

Even if this blow doesn't hit, the dazzling sword energy and sharp blades, and golden hammers hitting the battlefield are also a world-shattering situation, and a small mountain can be blown apart by him.

Two giants and dragons fighting hand-to-hand on the battlefield are definitely a earth-shattering situation.

However, Su Li quickly restrained the ecstasy in his heart and asked Orstein with concern: "My marshal, is your injury serious? Will it affect the war against the Green Dragon? If it is serious, we can shrink back for a while. At worst, I will continue to borrow money, and the finances can support it."

Orstein immediately clenched his right fist and hammered his chest heavily, making a loud and majestic sound: "Lord, don't worry, look at my current body, it's very good. I can even lead the army to launch Operation Dragon's Fang tomorrow."

Su Li immediately rejected his request and said, "You have just experienced a great battle, so take care of your body. Tomorrow's raid will be handed over to Hild."

Orstein immediately eagerly wanted to refute, and said: "Lord, I am in good condition and will not affect the battle at all. I can't rest assured if I don't personally participate in such an important battle."

Su Li firmly waved his hand and said, "Your health is related to the strength of our territory's military strength, so there is no need to take risks forcibly. And what are you worried about? The tactical plan was formulated by you together, and Hild also fully understands the details. Or do you think Hild's ability is far inferior to yours?"

Seeing Su Li say this, Orstein could only shake his head quickly and said: "The ability of the Chief Steward Hild is of course beyond doubt, so let the Chief Steward Hild lead the army to fight. I believe we will surely usher in a triumphant return."

This is the disciple he taught by hand, and the tactics of the Blazing Sun Goddess were taught to Hild by him.

Moreover, Hild remembers the military tactics of the Church of the Blazing Sun, such as "Goddess Tactics" and "Book of War", more clearly than him, and has a feeling of surpassing him. Orstein naturally believes in her ability.

No matter who of them leads the army to fight, the glory belongs to the Church of the Blazing Sun.

So Orstein did not continue to insist, and continued to introduce the spoils to Su Li with great excitement, and said: "Lord, in addition to those Skaven weapons, we also found a mythological material on them!"

"Fragment of the Twin-Tailed Comet Meteorite!"

Saying that, Orstein handed Su Li a meteorite the size of a fist. When his fingertips touched this stone, Su Li felt the will and aura of the gods so clearly for the first time. It was a golden and brilliant will like a violent flame, and an overwhelming and irresistible invincible aura!

It was as if touching this meteorite was shrouded in the aura of the emperor of the empire, the god king Redmayne, and awakened the unparalleled fortitude and rage in the empire's blood.

Any corrosion, evil, distracting thoughts, and plagues will be purified in this burning flame.

Just like the god-king's quotations repeatedly chanted by the Redmayne Church: "I am Redmayne, I am true gold, I am a god. Remember my name, because it will echo forever. It will destroy those hidden enemies and sound when you need it most."

Su Li gripped the meteorite fragment in surprise, only feeling that all the fatigue, diseases, and hidden corrosive curses on his body were purified.

Soon Su Li discovered that this was not his psychological illusion. There were really strands of purple-black smoke rising from his body.

Orstein looked at Su Li in surprise, but Hild was very calm, obviously already expecting this. Probably no one in the entire territory knew better than her how strong the lord's desire for pleasure was.

This was obviously the corruption of Slaanesh and pleasure that had unknowingly penetrated into Su Li's body, and now it was all purified by the Twin-Tailed Comet Fragment.

At first, Orstein didn't care. The lords of the empire would be more or less affected by Slaanesh's corruption. It should be said that in this world where the winds of chaos are permeated, even humans giving birth to children may be invaded by the winds of chaos and give birth to a beastman. The reason why the beast herds in the forest are endless is that many farmers in the villages are reluctant to kill their children and secretly put them in the forest at night.

So there is no citizen of the empire who is not corrupted by chaos. Even when Orstein himself held this Twin-Tailed Comet Fragment, black smoke of three colors, red-black, green-black, and purple-black, appeared on his body.

This meant that he had been noticed by Khorne, Nurgle, and Tzeentch, and unknowingly infiltrated the corruption into his body through the winds of chaos.

If it continues to develop, he will either be shrouded in the will of killing, be seduced to become Khorne's Chosen, only know how to chop and chop, and launch countless wars to satisfy the will of killing.

Or he will be caught in Tzeentch's conspiracy and become Tzeentch's Chosen. Compared with various churches, the believers of the Church of the Blazing Sun have a very high probability of becoming believers of Tzeentch, almost second only to the believers of Vileena, the goddess of learning and justice.

Discovering these three kinds of corruption on Orstein is also a recognition of his strength.

But when the purple black smoke emanating from Su Li's body continued to emerge, blackening the entire corridor, Orstein was really stunned.

How much lust is there in the lord's head?

In just half a year, he has been so deeply corrupted by Slaanesh, and it looks like it's endless, with no intention of stopping at all.

The key is that as a lord, a powerful knight, and a Chosen seed concerned by the Blazing Sun Goddess, almost no other color of black smoke can be seen on the lord, the purple smoke is so pure that it is black!

Su Li's old face also flushed slightly. Fortunately, he was blackened by the purple smoke, making it less noticeable. However, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Hahaha, this is A Better Tomorrow! My marshal, please continue to explain what's going on with this Twin-Tailed Comet fragment. It seems that the territory is particularly lucky with mythical materials today. We usually don't see a single one, but today we've harvested two at once."

Only he himself knew how lecherous he was.

He was already very fond of women. In his life, he didn't smoke, drink, gamble, or play cards. Female beauty was his only hobby, so his desires were particularly strong.

Moreover, dragon nature was inherently lustful. He had four dragon bloodstones on him at once, which greatly amplified his red dragon bloodline and powerful physique and resources.

Coupled with the lord's unique conditions and a group of charming female courtiers who indulged him and submitted to his lewd power, he naturally indulged in all sorts of depravity.

He felt that he had been able to control his desires. He hadn't expanded his harem to 40,000 like other emperors and preyed on all the young girls. He already considered his willpower to be extremely strong.

If it were someone with weaker willpower, the territory would probably be in chaos and turmoil now, with no female knight able to escape his clutches.

And the most excessive thing Su Li did now was to order Ingrid to shout "Su Li, baby, I love you" while practicing her knightly training, and to tie Freya to the head of the bed and slightly ravage this ice beauty.

Was that excessive? That was what every man would think! So much purple smoke was simply a slander on his innocence!

Eorlstein completely ignored the extravagance of the nobles. Every imperial noble lived this kind of life, so he quickly ignored the smoke and explained the origin of this mythical material to Su Li in detail.

"Most of the Twin-Tailed Comet fragments that can be seen in the Old World now come from the descent of the Twin-Tailed Comet in 1999 of the Imperial Calendar. At the site of Mordheim City, in Ostermark, a Twin-Tailed Comet fell in the center of the city, destroying most of the city's buildings and killing a significant portion of the population. This special Twin-Tailed Comet was named 'Redeemer's Hammer' and was regarded as a precursor to Sigmar's will because it destroyed Ostermark, which was considered to be a place of sinners, gamblers, drunkards, prostitutes, and criminals."

"As you know, the Twin-Tailed Comet is not only a symbol of the Empire, but also a symbol of the God-King Sigmar. It represents the unity, invincibility, and righteous flames of Sigmar's fury. On the land where this Twin-Tailed Comet fell, the Empire rebuilt Mordheim City and established the Royal Griffon Military Academy on it. It was from that time that the Dean of the Royal Griffon Military Academy became a member of the electoral college."

"At that time, many fragments of the Twin-Tailed Comet scattered into various corners of the land. The Skaven should have obtained a batch of this mythical material from it."

"After all, the Skaven also have their own unique interpretation of the Twin-Tailed Comet. They believe that the Twin-Tailed Comet may be a flying treasure made of warpstone that can absorb the winds of magic and disrupt the surge of global magical resources, causing turbulence everywhere."

A comet purified a city?

Su Li listened with rapt attention. This was such a powerful force, far exceeding human nuclear weapons.

At least human weapons on Earth cannot destroy cities, at most they can destroy the people in the cities.

"How strong does one have to be to achieve this level of apocalyptic destruction?"

Eorlstein joked, "You don't need to be that strong, just become a god. But in the mortal world, there is also power similar to that of gods. I heard that a tribe of Skaven possesses a doomsday rocket, comparable to this power."

What? Doomsday rocket?

The Skaven actually have nuclear weapons?

Su Li immediately asked with concern, "How powerful is the Skaven's doomsday rocket?"

Eorlstein shook his head and said, "I don't know. Only the church book 'Valkyrie Violet,' which records the deeds of the Sun Goddess, mentions it. A powerful Skaven clan near the ruined city of Mourkain has this ability. It is said that one attack can wipe out six or seven companies of soldiers, or even severely damage an elite knight company, killing dozens of knights."

Su Li was simply stunned. The Skaven have such powerful forbidden weapons? How can other races resist?

Seeing Su Li's shock and mental instability, Hild comforted him, "Lord, it's nothing really. The celestial spell of Cassandra's Comet can also summon meteorites to bombard the ground, even forming a mushroom cloud, causing hundreds of casualties. When legendary knights use their bloodline abilities in a divine state, they can also cause the sky to collapse and the earth to shatter, it's quite spectacular."

Good heavens, Su Li felt that every time he thought he understood this fantasy world well enough, reality would give him a violent shock. Behind the fantasy gate was a magnificent world far beyond his imagination.

He had never even seen the forbidden art of Cassandra's Comet, a legendary mage. The magnificent world that was unfolding to him was truly just the tip of the iceberg.

Eorlstein also said with a smile, "Yes, Lord. This Skaven clan is extremely far from the Empire, existing only in the legendary books of the church. Logically speaking, even if we reach the legendary level, we will never come into contact with them. The Old World is just too vast, so vast that there are many races that we will never see in our lifetime."

Hearing him say this, Su Li finally put his heart at ease and could calmly enjoy his upcoming wonderful and pleasurable life.

To this end, Su Li asked with concern, "What effects does this mythical material have?"

Eorlstein immediately explained, "I feel like it's engraved with the Sigmarite church spells 'Griffon's Heart' and 'Deny the Heretic,' personally released by the God-King."

['Griffon's Heart' - Your devout prayers have led Sigmar to choose your companions, giving them courage and determination, making them fearless.]

['Deny the Heretic' - Sigmar denies the power of Chaos with fervent passion, protecting you from Chaos corruption.]

Even Su Li, a transmigrator, had heard of these two famous national religion spells.

This meant that with this mythical material, Su Li could do whatever he wanted with confidence! He could indulge as much as he pleased!
