Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Sometimes, Su Li really couldn't understand women, why she could refuse so decisively.

That was the position of Grand Prince of Solande! One of the most powerful positions in the Empire.

Reaching this position, as long as there was no rebellion, no treason, even the Emperor of the Empire couldn't arbitrarily decide her life or death, and couldn't even influence her rule within the Principality.

If she was strong enough, she could completely ignore the various orders of the Imperial Emperor.

It could be said that within the Principality, she was the supreme existence. In the Imperial Electoral Council, others would have to discuss matters with her.

If this position were given to Su Li, Su Li would definitely try to fight for it.

But Phyllis could, for the sake of love, for Su Li, unhesitatingly reject all of this!

Since Phyllis had chosen this way, Su Li could only find a way to protect her. Under Su Li's orders, all the high-ranking direct attendants of the Purple Thorn Castle quickly gathered. Vandal opened the armory and distributed all the rune equipment.

500 high-ranking direct attendants were soon fully armed and entered a state of high alert.

The Shalya Church and the Rhea Church transported a large number of potions and activated religious icons one after another.

Even if facing the legendary knight, Archibald, the Duke of the Eternal Sword, these attendants would fight bravely, even if the entire castle was stained red with blood, they would use their lives to overwhelm this powerful enemy.

But Duke Archibald hadn't arrived yet, and Purple Thorn Castle welcomed another old friend who had never set foot here.

The young green dragon, Aria, the Wing of Deceit, successfully returned to the castle with Earl Stein in the afternoon. One of them was a dragon, and the other rode a Griffin, so their speeds were extremely fast.

Aria was more careful, knowing that there was a blood feud between her and the Black Forest territory, so she didn't appear in dragon form, but instead used a shapeshifting spell on herself.

Shapeshifting wasn't a very profound spell. The druids and river elves in the territory could use it, but the dragons were indeed the masters of the strongest arcane secrets in this world. The human form that Aria transformed into was truly stunning, breathtakingly beautiful, and greatly amazed Su Li.

When she came, Su Li was still in the treehouse. In the mist and snow shrouded by the Wisteria Garden, sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. In this tranquil world, the tall figure of this strange beauty walked slowly, like a touch of clarity in the bitter wind and snow.

Her height surpassed almost all the knights in the territory, reaching over 185 centimeters. She definitely had the top figure of a supermodel, and her posture was elegant and calm. Holding a noble scepter, she was as graceful and luxurious as a queen.

Seeing such a strange and stunning beauty for the first time, Su Li was slightly stunned. If Hild had not mentioned it before arranging their meeting, Su Li would hardly believe that this forest-like, tall, young, and noble queen was the once brutal green dragon.

Everything about her fit Su Li's aesthetics perfectly. Her face was cold and exquisite, and the most striking feature was her pair of deep emerald green eyes, like two clear lakes, crystal clear and bright. Her eyelashes were long and thick, casting a faint shadow under her eyes. Her nose was high and straight, and her lips were full and glossy, lightly pursed together without emotion.

Of course, she also had the long hair that was characteristic of beauties, but it didn't fall like a waterfall to her waist. Instead, it was exquisitely coiled up, and she wore a delicate golden crown, which made her neck look particularly fair and slender.

Like her neck and collarbone, her entire body's skin was fair and delicate, like mutton fat jade that had not been contaminated by the world. In the sunlight, her skin would glow with a faint luster. Her wrists were like snow, and she wore a jade bracelet on her slender wrist, which made her look even more elegant and mysterious.

Her clothes were different from those of the Empire's citizens, more like a mage robe, but the material was very light and thin, as smooth as water, like willow leaves swaying in the wind, with emerald green as the main color, and the edges embroidered with golden flowers and jade leaves.

And under the high-slit skirt, those beautiful legs were even longer than Su Li's life, slender and plump, as if they were works of art carefully carved by nature. Every inch of skin was fair and translucent, and could be broken with a touch. The sunlight shone through the gauze-like skirt, casting a hazy halo on her legs, adding a bit of mystery and allure.

Over-the-knee white stockings tightly wrapped these beautiful legs, the material smooth and delicate, clinging to her curves. The top of the stockings was slightly tightened, creating a shallow depression on her soft and plump smooth thighs, as if it was a perfect curve specially designed for her by God. This depression not only outlined her plump curves, but also made her legs look even more slender and attractive.

In that absolute territory between the skirt and the stockings, there was a faint glow, as if it were morning dew dripping on white petals. Su Li's eyes were involuntarily attracted to it, as if he had fallen into a suffocating vortex. He could clearly see the stockings gently undulating on her thighs, trembling slightly with her breathing, and that delicate touch seemed to be transmitted to his fingertips through the wind and snow.

Her legs were slightly apart, showing an inadvertent seductive posture. Su Li's gaze couldn't help but climb up her thighs, imagining what secrets were hidden under the skin wrapped in stockings.

Immediately, his heart began to beat faster, and blood seemed to be rushing through his veins, like a ball of fire burning in his chest.

As she gently moved her steps, the skirt swayed gently, revealing more tempting leg lines. Su Li felt his throat dry and his breathing become rapid. He seemed to be able to see the scene of the stockings slowly sliding on her thighs, and that delicate touch made him tremble all over.

At this moment, Su Li felt that he had completely fallen into this white temptation, unable to extricate himself. His mind was only filled with that piece of skin and that shallow depression, as if the whole world existed because of her.

Moreover, Su Li inexplicably had a feeling that Aria seemed to be blushing slightly on her tall neck and plump legs because of his fiery eyes, her breath became a little hot, and her breathing became rapid.

This made her very annoyed. Her body had become very strange recently. It became hot with a little teasing. The emerald gold-patterned earrings jingled with her rapid breathing. Like a pile of dry wood, a little spark could ignite it. She was annoyed and just wanted to vent the heat in her chest with dragon breath.

So she was in a very bad mood, and her eyes were filled with coldness. She asked, "You asked me to come to your manor, but you ambushed so many elite armored soldiers. What do you mean?"

Although her tone was annoyed, her voice was as light and clear as a flowing spring, like the sound of nature. Su Li's whole body was instantly numb, and he couldn't help but think about how tempting the sound of her panting would be, and what it would sound like when she was cultivating.

Su Li quickly shook his head. What was going on? Was he trapped in temptation and couldn't get out?

But he really couldn't be blamed. This forest-like beauty was really too tempting. Whether it was her plump legs and the shallow depression made by the stockings, or her cold temperament and the voice that made people's ears pregnant, people couldn't help but want to conquer her. All of this, shaped by shapeshifting, was so perfect that it was a little unrealistic, too dreamy. Many beautiful features could not exist in reality, only suspicious transformations could achieve them.

More importantly, she was the Little Dragon Girl! Which man didn't want to be a dragon knight?

But being a dragon knight was a very dangerous thing. If you were not careful, you could be burned to ashes by dragon breath.

So Su Li tried his best to restrain the impulse in his heart, and with great perseverance, he moved his eyes away from the shallow depression on her beautiful legs, took a deep breath and said, "If I really wanted to deal with you, would I still need to lure you to the manor? What good would it do besides ruining my manor?"

The green dragon's clear eyes glanced at him lightly, indifferently and without a word.

This posture really had the temperament of a forest-like beauty and a cold queen.

Aria certainly knew that the current level of solidity of the alliance between the two sides meant that even if they did something excessive to each other, they could only endure it. Neither side could afford to fall out now, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable for both sides.

This was also the confidence she had to come to Black Forest Castle. Even if she saw a large number of religious icons being activated, and a large number of elite armored soldiers were ambushed in key positions, she was still calm and composed, elegant and noble.

Seeing that she didn't refute, Su Li continued, "I invited you here to help us deal with a legendary knight."

Aria glanced at him and said lightly, "Ignorant!"

Why was everyone having this reaction?

Was the gap between a legendary knight and a Chosen One really that big?

Su Li asked, "With three Chosen Ones on our side, fighting on our home ground, can't we take down a legendary knight?"

Aria snapped her fingers, and vines grew wildly from the ground, instantly forming a throne of thorns. Then Aria held the emerald scepter, flicked her long skirt and sat on it, her two plump white legs crossed together, like two mating white snakes. Under the green light robe, her two beautiful legs looked even more slender and fair, exuding the ultimate seductive aura.

And this was not just a seat to provide her with enjoyment and decoration. This was the famous spell in Kiran magic [Throne of Vines]: An emerald wizard can create a mobile throne of vines and bushes for himself to strengthen his connection with the natural world.

Sitting on this throne of thorns, the emerald mage's combat power and spell strength could be greatly improved.

But even so, Aria just said lightly, "Are Chosen Ones of my level strong? But they are just nameless people who can be killed by legendary knights at will."

"You have to remember that if you can't become a legend that will be passed down through the ages, no matter how strong the Chosen One is, they are just a nameless existence in an era. Whether they live or die in the dark corners of the old world, they are unknown."

"Chosen Ones are ultimately just soldiers, and even powerful forces have Chosen One battle groups. But legendary figures are irreplaceable and unique."

Hearing this, Su Li was completely shocked, the gap was so big!

And knowing all this, Hild was still willing to firmly support him, which was even more precious.

Su Li turned to look at Hild and asked, "Can we really stop this legendary knight of Solande?"

Hild's sword [Beast Slayer] heavily hit the ground, and the ice-blue ribbon fluttered with the wind, like a battle flag unfolding, and solemnly said, "Even legendary knights have times when they are exhausted, and we have two thousand elite soldiers, we can pile him to death!"

Her raised face was reflected in the armor with a cold light, and the title of War Saint was well deserved.

A sneering sound broke the silence of the air: "How cute."

Aria's lotus-like white jade arm rested on the armrest of the throne of thorns, and said lightly, "Before he is exhausted, the blade of the legendary longsword should have pierced the hearts of several of you. Besides..."

Before he could finish speaking, a swan knight fell from the sky in a panic, ran over in a flustered pace, and reported to Hild, "General Manager, urgent military situation."

"Speak! Immediately report to the Lord."

"Reporting to the Lord, the army from Solande Province has forcibly broken through the defense lines and checkpoints we set up in the Baran Autonomous Territory. The legendary knight, Archibald, the Duke of the Eternal Sword, is leading a knight order of more than a thousand people and is heading towards Purple Thorn Castle!"

Hild instantly clenched the sword in his hand. The other party attached so much importance to it that they sent a welcoming team of more than 1,000 people?

But Earl Stein immediately figured it out and said, "It is normal for a candidate for the Electoral Council to have a guard of more than 1,000 people."

The electors were already the top nobles of the empire, and they had to have the treatment of being escorted in and out of the palace no matter what.

As the six rates of the East Palace, the commander of the crown prince's guards also had a team of more than 2,000 people.

Although Phyllis was the second in line to the Grand Prince of Solande, it was not an exaggeration to send 1,000 people to welcome her, given the unstable situation in the old world and the prosperity of the empire's martial virtues.

But the number of troops that can be urgently mobilized in Black Forest Castle now is less than 1,000 people. The free militia and the provincial army are cleaning up the monsters and bandits on the west side of the Blood Pine Forest.

Is the only home field advantage of Black Forest Territory going to disappear?

Phyllis heard the swan knight's report in the tree house, propped herself up and stood up, put on a white mink cloak, walked to the door, nervously tugged at the corner of Su Li's clothes, and said, "Lord, why don't we go to the reception room first. Don't disturb Ms. Ingrid's retreat because of me."

Once a battle breaks out here, not only will Ingrid's fantasy garden be destroyed, but even the core Wisteria tree of Black Forest Territory may be affected.

Moreover, the armored soldiers in the manor were not ambushed here, so Su Li did not refuse, and said, "Then let's go to the conference hall."

The wind and snow became particularly severe at this time. Snowflakes blew into the collar, and even the effect of the cold protection amulet was weakened, bringing a chill.

Especially Phyllis's strength was particularly weak, and her body could not help but tremble and shiver. Since entering the Purple Thorn Manor, today's chill was the strongest day.

So Su Li hugged her shoulders tightly, used his cloak to shield her from the wind and snow, and walked slowly from the snow towards the conference hall.

For some reason, the journey that could be easily reached in a few minutes in the past seemed extremely long this time, like the unbearable dawn before darkness, not only cold and dark, but also never seemed to end.

Hild and Earl Stein were going to deploy troops and prepare a banquet, so they had already left for the manor first.

Only Su Li and Phyllis were left, trudging forward alone in the wind and snow. The immense pressure weighed heavily on Phyllis's heart, and a sense of foreboding made her uneasy.

She nestled in Su Li's arms, clutching his sleeve, and looked up at him, anxiously saying, "Lord, please let me serve you tonight, no matter what? I fear that if I miss tonight, I may never have the chance again. If we can't, let's change our route."

Su Li patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I've got everything under control. What's a mere legendary knight and duke? We'll surpass him sooner or later. So what if it's an Elector Count's territory? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, don't underestimate the young! With me here, I'll definitely protect you."

Aili Ruia casually trailed behind, and upon hearing Su Li's words, her tall and aloof demeanor subtly shifted, and her gaze towards the front carried a hint of complexity. She couldn't remember the last time someone had cared for her like this. Her father had left when she was very young, leaving her to face everything alone.

She only had such images in her beautiful memories from when she was very young. So much so that she had forgotten what it felt like to rely on someone else.

Fate was playing tricks on her. Now she was relying on someone again. This territory was the most important support for her to maintain her rule. Without these humans, she couldn't even protect the Dragon Nest.

She somewhat resented this feeling, especially this reliance, which made her feel no warmth at all. Just like the weather now, bone-chillingly cold and hateful.

She couldn't help but wonder, why did that naive, silly woman in front smile so sweetly while relying on the same man, while she only felt humiliation and disgust?

Clearly, this man's gaze towards her was also full of aggression and desire, causing her breathing to quicken. Could a single physical contact really make that much of a difference?

This made Aili Ruia even more secretly annoyed. The two sides were now interdependent, and even if something excessive really happened, they couldn't afford to break ties. What should she do if this man made some excessive demands at that time?

But before she could figure it out, this seemingly long road came to an end.

After Su Li led Phyllis to the reception hall of the Bauhinia Manor, it was already filled with a large number of Black Forest Guard knights. Hundreds of elite knights, all clad in shining golden plate armor and wielding rune-inscribed blades, guarded the corridors of the manor, which were covered in red carpets.

The iris flag, symbolizing the Bauhinia family, flew high above the manor's tower. The reception hall was brightly lit, and a large number of officials from Black Forest Town, the heads of the knightly orders, and the priests of various churches were all neatly seated on the right side of the long table in the reception hall.

Only three seats were left empty in the middle. After Su Li sat down with Phyllis in the center seat, he beckoned to the Green Dragon Aili Ruia and said, "What are you standing at the door for? Come and sit down."

Aili Ruia frowned, clutching her scepter, her face still showing a trace of disbelief, and asked, "There's a seat for me too?"

"Of course, aren't we allies now?" Su Li pointed to the seat next to the dwarf commander Dogrin and said, "This is your seat."

While Aili Ruia was still wondering whether to sit down and face a powerful legendary knight alongside these humans, the dwarf Dogrin had already begun to roar violently. His iron-like body slammed his arm onto the table, sending the gilded candlestick flying: "Who is this woman? I can sense the evil aura of the forest on her. Could it be that damned reptile, the Green Dragon?"

"In the name of the ancestors! We dwarves have a blood feud with her! This evil dragon slaughtered hundreds of our dwarf bloodlines, and every debt of blood is recorded in the Book of Grudges and will never be forgotten!"

Aili Ruia's emerald scepter immediately struck the ground heavily, and the dragon's might caused the ribbons on the nearby knights to move without wind: "Sharing a seat with ants?"

The emerald pendant hanging from her ear suddenly reflected golden spots of light: "You better pray that my patience lasts longer than Surand's sword. Shorty, do I need to help you recall how molten iron, melted by dragonfire, was used to cast dwarf tombstones?"

Alliances with dwarves have always been like this. Historical grudges make it impossible for them to ever let go, causing rifts to constantly exist between the alliances.

If Su Li were to smooth things over at this time, the conflict would only become more intense.

So, a crimson light suddenly erupted from his palm, heavily striking the long table made of blood pine, melting five finger-shaped indentations into the original wooden table, and the twelve crystal wall lamps emitted a buzzing sound on the verge of shattering in the energy shock.

"Everyone stop! The previous battle was just a scaled-down reenactment of the Battle of the Longbeards by tens of thousands of times!"

"But after the Battle of the Longbeards, facing the invasion of Chaos, the dwarves grabbed their broken adamantite battle axes, and the elves reforged their broken oak arrows, and together, they jointly repelled Chaos."

"Do you think Surand Knight's sword is more merciful than the demon's sharp teeth that devour the earth? Whatever grudges there are, wait until after dealing with this legendary knight!"

Then Su Li slammed the Bauhinia family's emblem heavily on the table, and scolded: "Either let the chains of hatred drag you into the grave—or use the enemy's blood to forge a new legend."

Dogrin knew that this big friend would not get angry easily, but after he got angry, no one in the entire territory could disobey his will, so he tore open his breastplate, revealing his chest covered in monster claw marks, and laughed wildly: "After killing Surand's knight, I will personally pluck this lizard woman's scales and use them as a drinking vessel!"

Aili Ruia sat down on the long chair, her beautiful legs crossed, her scepter lying horizontally on a patch of white and slender legs, and said lightly: "Provided that your scrap metal isn't buried in the shadows of the vines."

Their conflict had barely subsided when Hild, who was responsible for guarding the Bauhinia Manor, walked into the room and reported to Su Li: "Lord, Surand's guard has arrived outside the manor."

Before the words were finished, a fierce gale swept in from the gate with violent momentum!

Hild's report was immediately interrupted by a sudden hymn, and the entire manor began to shake. The sound of thousands of heavy-armored cavalry trampling was like thunder. Before the fragments of the falling crystal chandelier touched the ground, they were crushed into dust by the golden wind that poured in from outside the door.

Through the distorted and deformed gilded door frame, thousands of silver lights could be seen piercing the twilight. The steeds of the Knights of the Eternal Light were trampling the marble floor of the Bauhinia Manor, and the emblem of the sword and scales embroidered on their pure white cloaks. The sky was full of wind and snow, and their silver-white temperament was so compatible, as if it were the doomsday judgment sent by the cold winter.

The Knights of the Eternal Light gave everyone a dismount as soon as they appeared!
