Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Hearing the generous conditions offered by Su Li, Dorglin jumped excitedly from the bed: "More than six hundred troll skulls carved with dwarven runes? That's enough to cover the shame walls of all the brewing halls in Redbeard Fortress!"

"The guys in the Grey Mountains will go crazy when they hear about this. My big friend, you don't know what troll brew and these troll skull drinking vessels mean to us dwarves! Each troll skull drinking vessel needs to be roasted in the flames of the furnace for ninety-nine hours, and then quenched in dwarven spirits—that's the real container that can hold hatred and spirits!"

After saying that, Dorglin trembled his beard, paced back and forth on the ground twice, thought seriously for a while, and solemnly said to Su Li: "My friend, you might consider building a troll skull tavern with a dwarven style in the dwarven community in the southeast direction of Black Forest Town, using obsidian as the gate, paving the floor with the shields of fallen dwarves, and placing a rune furnace bar made of wyvern spines in the center!"

"Then hold a Hatred Holy Grail competition, and let the drunkards engrave their family trees on the troll skulls with detonators—I swear by the ancestral soul fire, Black Forest Territory will become the second Everpeak! This will become a holy place for dwarves to check in! Attracting all the lively dwarves from the Grey Mountains and even the dwarven kingdoms of the Black Forest Mountains!"

"If you ask me, if there is such an iconic dwarven tavern, it can attract at least 1,000 dwarves to the territory. No! No! In the future, there may be thousands of dwarves visiting, and thousands of dwarves settling here! Even the Butcher Brotherhood of the dwarven holy land Eight Peaks Mountain will send someone carrying a battle axe to join in the fun."

Su Li raised his eyebrows. Although Dorglin was a bit long-winded and excited, his proposal was indeed highly feasible.

If Su Li returns the dwarves' golden hair comb to the dwarven High King, then he will win unparalleled reputation in the dwarven world. When this characteristic tavern is built, it will indeed attract a considerable number of dwarves to visit, including dwarven forging masters and dwarven butchers!

You should know that the lowest level of dwarven butchers is the troll butcher, who can smash trolls with battle axes, and the highest level can even reach the demigod level! Gotrek Gurnisson, the most legendary dwarven butcher active today, is a famous demigod, known as the most manly man in dwarven history. His handsome figure of killing countless monsters, demons, or demigod legions is enough to make others jealous (plus a little fear) to the point of their balls trembling.

This legendary butcher is equipped with a powerful rune battle axe, which may have been forged and wielded by Grungni, the dwarven god of war and revenge, during the first Chaos invasion. It turned Gotrek into a super dwarf in a sense: an extremely violent, vengeful, and strong demigod with no friends. This caused him to always want to die in battle, but he was too strong.

His legendary deeds would make even Khorne's chosen ones tremble and be excited.

However, the most valuable thing about dwarves is their forging masters. This tavern will definitely attract a large number of dwarves. With a large enough base, even the smallest probability will produce some forging masters, or even god-chosen masters.

With dwarves of this strength, coupled with the territory's aether gold, it's hard to say how many rare-level equipment the territory will produce.

The gem pool can produce 5 jin of aether gold every month, and 65 jin a year. In a few years, it can even help the territory create a set of rare-level armor.

If the territory recovers to a population of 6,000 to 8,000, including a community of 1,000 dwarves, then the vigorous vitality of Black Forest Territory next year will be limitless.

So Su Li decisively supported Dorglin's idea and said, "I will let the Minister of Industry, Sheriff, cooperate with your tavern idea. Attracting Grey Mountain dwarves to settle in our territory is a top priority for the territory's development."

After comforting the dwarf, Su Li turned to look at Dietrich and asked, "My chief physician, how is the situation of the wounded soldiers in the territory? We urgently need to restore the wounded soldiers and put them back into production."

Dietrich was different from Dorglin's fluster. He had the gentleness and composure of a doctor, and replied calmly: "With our joint efforts with the Church of the Morning Light, the scale of the territory's potions is rapidly recovering. We have cured more than 200 wounded soldiers, and the injuries of other wounded soldiers are also rapidly improving. It is expected that all the wounded soldiers in the territory will be completely healed within 1 to 2 months."

1 to 2 months, then Su Li will have to wait. If everything goes relatively smoothly, the trauma of the territory in this war will be initially restored before winter.

But it is probably impossible to complete this year to restore the territory to its peak state.

So Su Li frowned slightly and said, "The territory now urgently needs manpower to develop. Is there no way to speed up the process?"

Dietrich thought for a while and said, "There is a way, although it can't quickly increase the scale of the territory's population, it can improve the farming efficiency of the territory's residents."

"Oh?" Su Li's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Is there any extraordinary means?"

Dietrich's face was a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a moment, he took out a crystal bottle from the side cabinet, which contained dozens of emerald green and jewel-like scales.

"This is...?" Everyone felt their hearts suffocate and stared at the jar in Dietrich's hand. Even if it was quietly stored in the bottle, it still seemed to have a majestic majesty rushing towards them.

"These are the scales of Ailiria. The dragon-hunting crossbow and cannon fire caused these scales to fall off, and were recovered by our medical knights." Dietrich raised the bottle in his hand, allowing the majestic scales to refract a brilliant light in the sun.

"The Green Dragon is the Dragon of Life, the Dragon of the Forest, and its majestic vitality is very much in line with the teachings of our Shalia Church. As the god of life and healing, the followers of Shalia can perceive these scales more clearly under her guidance. Even if the scattered scales fall into the corner of the sewer, they are as obvious to us as a torch in the dark."

Su Li asked with interest, "What are these scales used for?"

"【Blood-colored Wheat Waves】! Using these dragon scale powder, we can artificially create a spectacle of blood-colored wheat waves."

Dietrich was obviously a little taboo about this word. He glanced at Su Li and asked, "Lord Lord, have you ever thought about how the abilities of so many bloodlines of human beings came from?"

"Oh?" How did the bloodline ability come from? He really thought about this question. For example, the red dragon bloodline in his body, he always thought that his ancestors forcibly cultivated with a red dragon. Or imprisoned the red dragon in the basement and sacrificed a batch of pure girls to it.

He had a thick skin and directly said his guess: "Probably there is some kind of immoral love between humans and beasts? The result of cultivation?"

Several female medical staff next to him instantly blushed, lowered their heads and quietly took a few steps back, turning to the side, for fear that any more obscene words would get into their ears.

Dietrich was also a prodigal son back then. He was able to run to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see beautiful young women, so naturally he had no problem facing this kind of exchange frankly. He directly regarded it as pathological research.

"When I was young, I also thought it was the case. But do you think that among the dragon clan, such as dragonflies, are they really descendants of dragons and those humble insects?"

"You should know that dragons are powerful and proud creatures. Other races are just a group of humble insects in their eyes. How could they have any contact with insects?"

"In fact, most of the dragon subspecies are infected by the dragon's aura. Our church's research on the past of knight bloodlines may be more in-depth than the Church of the Morning Light."

"【Blood-colored Wheat Waves】 is a one-time 【Dragon Blood Wheat】 that we have transformed using dragon scale powder. The yield of these dragon blood wheat is three times that of one plant."

Su Li didn't understand and asked, "Isn't this a good thing? What does it have to do with the knight bloodline?"

"It has a lot to do with it! This kind of wheat is very rough. You must be careful when harvesting this kind of wheat. Once a fool is pierced by the sharp dragon blood wheat straw, scales will directly grow out of their wounds."

"And eating this kind of dragon blood wheat also means that human beings return to the barbaric era at the beginning of the empire. Many people will not be able to control the distortion of the power of the bloodline and become twisted monsters."

Su Li felt a chill all over his body when he heard this, and couldn't help but rub the newly cast vibrating gold ring on his right hand. This was a commemorative gift given to Su Li by Oliver after the victory in this battle, with the chancellor's advice engraved on it: "If you want to build a throne, first pave the steps with corpses."

At this moment, this sentence was vividly interpreted!

This kind of 【Dragon Blood Wheat】 obviously has an extremely strong dragon aura. After the civilians eat it, they will imitate the ancestors of human beings and retrace the path of opening the power of the bloodline.

If they can resist the domineering dragon aura, then the eater will directly obtain the dragon bloodline, and can even inherit some abilities in the gene sequence like a dragon. The only difference is that dragons can master many bloodline abilities by sleeping, while humans need to constantly cultivate to awaken one炽血 ability after another.

But if they can't resist the domineering transformation of this dragon blood wheat, then the civilians who eat it will directly twist and die in pain, or even die violently.

This is really 【Blood-colored Wheat Waves】 in various senses. Civilians fall down batch after batch like harvesting wheat, and the big waves wash away a few civilians who have the qualifications of apprentice knights.

With the blessing of bloodline ability, they will obviously have more advantages in both work and cultivation.

The coldness of the ring quickly calmed Su Li's mind. He looked at Dietrich and asked, "How many acres can this kind of dragon blood wheat be planted?"

Dietrich lowered his head and looked at the dragon scales in his hand and said, "After grinding them all, they can probably be sprinkled in 3 acres of land, but affected by the dragon's aura, these wheat ears can抵三株."

Dietrich didn't know about the yield per mu of the territory, but Su Li remembered it very clearly. One mu of wheat field can harvest 290 jin.

That means after being transformed into 【Blood-colored Wheat Waves】, the yield per mu has reached 870 jin. Three mu is about 2600 jin, enough for hundreds of slaves and civilians to eat for a cycle!

Su Li couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and looked at Dietrich and asked, "How many times can this kind of dragon blood wheat be planted?"

"Only once! After the harvest, the blood-colored wheat waves will lose their effect."

This means that this blood-colored wheat wave alone can provide the territory with dozens or even hundreds of cavalry personnel with extremely pure bloodlines.

But at the same time, a group of people will be ruthlessly eliminated.

Su Li pondered for a long time, then raised his head, looked at Dietrich with bright eyes, and said, "Transfer this improvement plan to the State Council. Plant the dragon blood wheat first, as for whether to use it, I decided to let the State Council and the residents of the territory decide for themselves."

There is indeed a risk, but where is there no risk in this dark and desperate world?

Perhaps many residents of the territory don't care about this risk at all. The empire has never lacked gamblers. They are willing to pay any price for a little light and hope in the dark!

After experiencing so many tragic battles, Su Li's heart has become cold and hard enough. In this world, a woman's kindness will only cause more tragic results.

As the knight commander of the Medical Knight Order, Dietrich did not want the residents of the territory to take such a risky path. He clenched the bottle in his hand and sighed: "The teachings of Shalia..."

"Teachings can't fill your stomach!" A cold voice came from outside. Oliver opened the tent and walked into the room. Behind him were a large number of wounded soldiers queuing up.

"Did you see these disabled soldiers? They may be more expecting a heroic future, rather than such a mediocre and tragic death."

Indeed, if they succeed in awakening, there is still a chance to recover completely. Even if they cannot recover, with the blessing of bloodline ability, these disabled people can also have higher productivity than ordinary civilians.

Perhaps giving them a more hopeful future is more in line with their ideas than their desperate and muddled lives.

However, Su Li didn't think much, but looked at Oliver in surprise and asked, "My Dean, why are you here at the hospital instead of staying in the State Council?"

With Oliver's iron-blooded style, he almost never came to the hospital.

Oliver bowed slightly and saluted Su Li, and replied: "Lord Lord, there is an important matter that needs your personal attention. Our Marshal, Knight Orstein, has led his army back. The air cavalry returned first to report the itinerary to us. Marshal is only thirty miles away from the territory."

The latest novel is first published on Six 9 Books!

"Our Marshal is back?" Su Li suddenly felt cheerful. Yesterday, Orstein had sent someone to report the itinerary to the territory. He was less than 100 miles away from Black Forest Town.

Su Li thought that he would lead his army back when the midday sun was the hottest, but he didn't expect him to march so fast and arrive so early.

Su Li immediately said to Oliver: "Then the matter of the blood-colored wheat waves will be handed over to you. I will take Hilde and the Black Forest Guard Knights to personally welcome our Marshal!"

With the issuance of Su Li's order, the Guard Knights in Black Forest Fortress quickly assembled and marched to the front of the Carnival Square under the command of Hilde.

This square is the place where the territory celebrates victory and conducts military parades, and it is suitable for the day when the army triumphs today.

As the lord, he did not go out of the city to meet him, but he sent Rongen, the religious advisor of the territory, the Patriarch of the Burning Sun Church, as his representative, to meet and reward the triumphant army 20 miles outside the city.

Under the guidance of the priests of the Church of the Blazing Sun Goddess, Marshal Orstein's half-griffon vanguard cavalry regiment marched through the Arch of Triumph to the rhythm of the Blazing Sun Goddess's war drums. Their gleaming plate armor, bathed in roaring flames, resembled flowing gold, and every scar upon it was a testament to their victorious return from countless battles.

Twelve banners of the Purple Bauhinia fluttered wildly in the autumn wind, their surfaces soaked with the blood splattered from forest monsters. Behind the banners, a heavily armored phalanx of over eight hundred elite knights rolled over Warhammer Avenue, followed by a massive infantry phalanx with spears like a forest and shields like heavy walls.

Marshal Orstein, amidst the sacred chimes of twelve battle priests, dismounted, his bloodstained griffon helmet tucked under his arm. As he knelt on one knee, his Mithril greaves pressed spiderweb cracks into the obsidian ground, and flakes of dried, blood debris fell from the seams of his armor.

"The victory forged in the Blazing Sun is to be offered beneath the Purple Bauhinia Crown," Orstein's voice was like a sword being drawn from its sheath, stern and generous.

With his sonorous report, four champion knights carried a sacred relic box made from a Chimera dragon's head to Su Li. The box was filled to the brim with a full 50,000 gold crowns!

"Sixty-seven dawns of bloody battle, the heroic souls of three thousand warriors have forged this victory report," Orstein raised his head and looked up at Su Li, excitedly saying, "Now, we finally take compensation in victory! Lord, please allow me to dedicate the spoils of this battle to you, to add glory to the eagle banner of the family."

Su Li immediately strode forward, personally helping up his most loyal marshal, patted his strong and powerful arm, and said, "My marshal, this is not only my honor, but also the honor of you and all the knights."

"I can't wait to hear you tell me about the rich spoils of this battle."

Orstein straightened his chest and proudly said, "Lord, we brought back a full 50,000 gold crowns from this battle, 4,000 dwarven oath gold, and we also collected more than 60 sets of powerful perfect-grade vibranium rune armor."

Although Su Li had long known that the territory would surely receive rich compensation in victory in this battle.

But when he saw all of this with his own eyes, countless gold coins and sparkling armor were placed in front of him like small mountains, he was still excited and breathed quickly, extremely excited.

50,000 gold crowns!

This meant that the financial crisis in his territory was immediately over. He could not only immediately repay the loans and interest he had borrowed from merchants before, but also have more than 30,000 gold crowns left over to guarantee investment and development in the territory.

More importantly, these 50,000 gold crowns are still the most insignificant thing among these spoils.

The territory should have had at least 100,000 gold crowns, but under Oliver's suggestion, it had already been preferentially exchanged for important materials that could help the territory's development.

There are more than 60 sets of vibranium rune armor alone, which is enough to arm a complete knight order!

Even the richest Corona Knight Order in the territory does not have 60 sets of vibranium rune armor.

Adding the vibranium rune armor that the territory already possessed, Su Li felt that by next year, the territory might have 300 sets of vibranium rune armor.

With this scale of vibranium armor, even 300 elite knights would be a powerful armed force that is difficult to destroy.

When they launch a charge, even dragon breath cannot stop their charging momentum, and artillery can hardly cause effective damage to them.

And more importantly, all of this is far from over!

While Su Li was very excited, Marshal Orstein continued to report: "In addition to these gold coins and armor, we also counted a large number of gems in the green dragon's lair, including 15 laurel flower gems, 300 crimson pearls, 2000 fire tip spar, and more than 20,000 pieces of various precious minerals and crystals, etc."

"More than half of the treasures that the green dragon has looted from the ancient dwarf ruins over the years have been harvested by us in one fell swoop!"

Many of the green dragon's treasures were looted from the dwarf cities and buried treasure houses by its emperor dragon father. After years of accumulation, all of them have now flowed into Su Li's pocket.

This wave, Su Li can be said to have made a lot of money.

In addition to these, the green dragon itself also operates a large number of materials.

Orstein continued to report: "The green dragon has also looted a large number of forest bandits and pioneering lord strongholds around the Blood Pine Forest and the Black Forest foothills. Thousands of rune equipment of human adventurers and knights have accumulated in its dragon's nest. We have prioritized selecting more than 600 pieces of rune equipment from them."

"In addition, we have also brought back materials such as [ Head of Chaos Fusion] and [ Four-chamber Furnace Heart] from the god-chosen monsters, which are enough to help us forge a more powerful rare weapon."

One of the Chimera's heads is the lion's head. Melting it into the warhammer can be said to make this warhammer extremely compatible with Orstein's bloodline ability.

At that time, this Chaos adjudicator-like warhammer will have three miniaturized Chaos beast heads in a triangular occlusal shape, with lion mouths and fangs forming an impact cone, ram horns spiraling around the hammer neck, and dragon throat full of flames breathing.

The hammer handle will be forged into a spiral pattern using the Chimera's mutated spine, the energy core will use the four-chamber furnace heart, and the end of the handle will be fangs forming spikes.

After all this is perfectly utilized, the warhammer forged is probably that as long as it is waved, it will be able to penetrate the enemy's solid defense with majestic energy.

And if the god general state is activated, it is almost equivalent to obtaining the blessing of the Chimera's combat power!

Su Li decisively said to Orstein: "My commander, I will let the territory's forging masters go all out to forge a rare weapon for you to reward your outstanding contribution in this battle."

"Then tell me, what other secret treasures are there in the dragon's nest? Treasures of strategic value that far exceed ordinary goods!"

The reason why the dragon's nest attracts countless adventurers to go forward is that in addition to the large-scale wealth, the most important thing is the incredibly powerful special treasures inside.

Su Li believes that there must be such strategic-level secret treasures in the nest of the green dragon Aili Ruia.
