Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#28 - The holy artifact of the Knights' founding

Watching Knight Connor's body tremble in shock, Su Li frowned suspiciously.

What could be more precious than a Vibranium Rune Armor?

But Su Li didn't have to wait long for the secret to be revealed.

Escorted by a full squad of Crimson Night Knights, Connor returned carrying a golden box about the size of a vanity case.

Such a small item seemed out of place with the knight's rugged nature, and Su Li couldn't imagine what was inside that would warrant such caution from all the knights.

Earl Suna personally handed the box to Su Li and said, "Open it and see. This is a sacred object powerful enough to change the course of a force, a war."

Such a powerful effect? That would make it a strategic treasure.

He carefully opened the lid, revealing a palm-sized, transparent amulet. Its craftsmanship was so exquisite that it seemed impossible for current human, dwarven, or even elven technology to produce.

Its shape was that of a griffin about to take flight, its wings spread, feathers fluttering as if in a breeze, and starlight-like luminescence shimmering around it, making it appear almost alive.

Su Li looked up in surprise at his father and asked, "What is this?"

"A Sacred Relic! That's what we knights call it. The orcs call it a Shiny Trinket, and vampires call it an Ancestral Blood Artifact. But regardless of the name, all races acknowledge one fact: this is a sacred treasure bestowed upon us by the gods. When you please the god you serve, whether through an epic victory on the battlefield or a generous offering during a sacrifice, you may be rewarded with such a sacred treasure."

"So remember, as a lord, you can delegate everything to your subordinates, but worship and war must never be entrusted to others!"

Su Li was stunned. He never expected to encounter this theory in another world: the great affairs of state lie in worship and war.

Su Li had always been aware that gods existed in this world.

Even the knights had gods they believed in. The most famous ones Su Li had heard of included Violet, the Goddess of the Blazing Sun, and Yulric, the Wolf God and God of Winter. They had many devout followers and corresponding knightly orders guarding their temples.

For example, Violet, the Goddess of the Blazing Sun, had the famous Flame Sun Knights under her command. This goddess encouraged her followers to dedicate themselves to the art of war and put it into practice. Her teachings not only required believers to strive for perfection in combat but also to pay attention to the nobility of their status, the depth of their strategic thinking, and their political and theoretical talents.

Therefore, the Flame Sun Knights were also a knightly order that strived for perfection. Many of their members traveled far and wide, honing their skills through sparring and observation, and incorporating the military ideas of various places to improve their tactics. It could be said that every member of the Flame Sun Knights had a wealth of knowledge in leadership, strategy, and martial arts, which was why they were always confident of victory when facing enemies.

Yulric, the White Wolf God, was the opposite. Wolfskin cloaks and thick fur were the signature appearance of this god and his followers. This god admired his followers' courage and wildness, even encouraging them to fight in the most bloodthirsty and savage ways. Powerful knights who could directly cleave through strong enemies might be blessed by the Wolf God. Therefore, he had the largest knightly order in the empire. These knights wore unique wolfskins on their shoulders and rode into battle without shields or helmets to show off their long hair and beautifully braided beards. As they charged into battle, these knights roared savage prayers to their Wolf God Yulric, their loud howls causing many enemies to scatter and flee before the battle even began.

Su Li hadn't understood why these knights were so devoted to a god, but now it seemed strange not to believe. It could only be said that he had previously known too little about this world.

He quickly asked, "What does this Sacred Relic do?"

"This Sacred Relic is called the Windwing Talisman. When you carry it with you, it will change the direction of the wind, greatly increasing the marching speed of your troops and significantly reducing their stamina consumption. The daily marching distance can easily be increased from 100 li to about 125 li."

"It also has a powerful activation effect. On a fierce battlefield, you can use your bloodline power to activate it, and a strong wind will blow towards the enemy, with flying sand and rocks, blinding them. However, this effect can only be used once a month, and after use, its basic acceleration effect will also be lost. You must use it carefully."

Su Li took a deep breath. What terrifying effects!

It could increase movement speed by 25% at its base, and after activation, you would become the chosen one! Blessed by luck! A stronger version of Archmage Liu Xiu!

As far as Su Li knew, many legendary battles and major historical campaigns were due to a strong wind that changed the course of the battle and even affected the dynasty's fate. For example, the Battle of Mobei, which established the prestige of the Han Chinese, was marked by a sudden strong wind at dusk, with sand and gravel obscuring vision. The Han general Wei Qing seized the opportunity to order his infantry forward, opening up the left and right flanks and encircling the main force of the Xiongnu, causing them to lose all momentum. The Chanyu could only lead a few hundred cavalrymen to break through, while the remaining nearly 100,000 Xiongnu were annihilated in one battle, with more than 70,000 being taken prisoner by the Han army.

And in this world, all of this could be controlled!

Trading a set of Rune Vibranium Armor for this Sacred Relic was a steal for Su Li!

Then, Earl Suna gazed intently at Su Li, his eyes gleaming: "It is time for our family's eagle to spread its wings and soar like this amulet."

Su Li immediately bowed to Earl Suna: "Father, I will ensure that the banner of the Purple Rose family flies high in the wider sky."

"Very well, go and prepare. When the hawk spreads its wings, I expect to hear epic tales from you in the Frontier Principality, back here at the Purple Rose Castle."

"Then, Father, please take care of yourself, and may you always be healthy. I will lead the troops this afternoon, so I will not come to say goodbye again."

"Go then."

Leaving the Purple Rose Earl's study, Su Li took a deep breath and put away the Windwing Talisman. With this Sacred Relic, his land development would be smoother.

This magical item opened a new door to this world for him. Perhaps, with the assistance of the Daily Intelligence System, he could obtain more Sacred Relics, and even if he just lay down and enjoyed life, the development of the frontier territory would take off.

Thinking of this, he felt particularly cheerful and walked out of the Earl's castle, humming a little tune.

It was precisely this joyful mood that caused an uproar in the castle.

If he had looked serious, clenched his fists, and had an unyielding glint in his eyes, others would have thought he was indomitable and that Knight Ohrstein had been detained by Earl Suna.

But he looked relaxed and cheerful, his hands behind his neck, whistling as he walked out, everyone immediately concluded that Knight Ohrstein had definitely not been detained. That meant Su Li's chances of success in developing his frontier territory had greatly increased!

A large number of knights and servants immediately swarmed around Su Li, surrounding him: "Young Master Su Li, I beg to join your team, please accept me!"

"Young Master Su Li, how can I join your team? I am willing to take the test, just give me a chance!"

"Make way, make way, I am a formal knight, Young Master Su Li, please look at me!"

...

Su Li felt as if he was directly surrounded by a surging tide, with countless people pulling at him excitedly. Knights, servants, everyone was going crazy, surrounding him so tightly that no water could leak through, pulling him this way and that, making him dizzy and disoriented.

Are you all crazy! I just want to lie down and enjoy life, what do you want?

In the chaos, Su Li couldn't help but laugh. He remembered a fitting joke.

Don't force me to leave my hometown, or the whole village will have no water to drink!

But regardless of which type of 'leaving home' they were chasing, the people chasing Su Li had already completely reddened their eyes.
