Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#49 - My Lord never flies air force

As Su Li had expected, everything in the territory was progressing smoothly.

When the armed servants heard Su Li say that they would receive 10% of the mined ore, a large group of soldiers immediately dropped their luggage and armor and ran to the excavation site, enthusiastically digging. Unearthing a high-value ore would mean two to three months' salary for them, so of course, they were highly motivated.

During the month-long march, under Su Li's command, they had repeatedly mined precious ores and medicinal herbs, and they had already completely trusted Su Li's words. Hearing Su Li's original words, the smart ones immediately realized that this incredible fortune had finally fallen upon them!

This made the military commander, Knight Orsteiner, very dissatisfied. He personally found Su Li and said indignantly, "Lord, the armed servants are our military force to protect the territory, not mining laborers. We have just arrived in this unfamiliar land and should remain vigilant and strengthen military training."

"The knights are training their teamwork, and these armed servants should also be assembled to train formations. Letting them take care of the pastures, raise horses, and feed horses is fine, as it can be said to improve the knights' combat effectiveness. How can you let them be laborers, digging reservoirs and building water conservancy projects?"

Su Li glanced at him, completely ignoring his violent temper, and said calmly, "Stop arguing. Two percent of the dragon bloodstone mined will also be given to you knights."

"Dragon bloodstone?" Knight Orsteiner was shocked, and then all his anger vanished as if the one who had been raging just now was not him: "After your teaching, I suddenly realized that there is no problem with the knight servants contributing to the territory. Lord, you are truly our most brilliant leader, your back is so heroic, guiding the direction of all of us."

It's no wonder Orsteiner changed so quickly!

That was a dragon bloodstone! Which knight wouldn't want to carry one with them? Under the influence of the dragon's aura, knights would become more powerful, stronger, and tougher, which was an important boost to the combat effectiveness of an army. If he, Orsteiner, roared and ruined this benefit for all the knights, the knights' anger would probably burn him to ashes.

The corners of Su Li's mouth turned up slightly. Sure enough, the world wasn't just about fighting, but about human relationships. With so many benefits distributed, every knight would become a supporter of his rule.

"By the way, my commander, you just said that the army needs to strengthen its training? Can't our army be pulled out to fight now?"

Speaking of military matters, Knight Orsteiner's face became serious, and he replied rigorously: "Yes, Lord. The knights who came with you to develop the territory previously belonged to different knight squadrons, and their cooperation is not tacit. Before a major battle, even the feudal armies summoned by the lord would be reorganized and trained for a period of time before going to the battlefield."

"Our army is now like a mob. It is barely possible to win small-scale battles by relying on elite soldiers. If there is a large-scale battle between two armies, it will be difficult for us to win in our current state, and even if we can win, we are afraid that the losses will be heavy."

"The knights are conducting military formation drills in the training ground. Everything is going smoothly in this regard, so you don't need to worry. But if there is an opportunity, I hope that hundreds of armed servants can also start training in a timely manner."

"Is that so?" Su Li nodded, understanding Knight Orsteiner's anger. After all, he was the military commander and was only responsible for the safety of the territory.

In that case, the battle to the northern Jinko mine would probably have to be postponed for a few days. The knights and servants had to be given some time to reorganize and train. Then the knights would investigate the battlefield situation in the north, find the location of the Jinko mine, and formulate a combat plan and deployment.

"The training and patrol matters will be left to you. The armed servants will participate in the construction of the territory these days, so you will have to work harder and personally lead the patrol to clear out the monsters and risks hidden around the territory. Especially in the direction of the river, which is our future transportation lifeline, where ore and wood will be transported down from the upper reaches. We must strictly guard against river trolls attacking inside. In the afternoon, you will patrol southeast along the river, giving priority to checking the risks here."

"Your will, Lord," Knight Orsteiner struck his chest with his fist and bowed to accept the order.

While the two were talking, it was almost 11 a.m. The serfs had already sent back a batch of wood, and the fishermen had tied up two more rafts when they had nothing to do and put them into the water.

All 16 farmers boarded the simple boats. Six rafts and two fishing boats barely accommodated everyone.

There was no shortage of fishing nets. When they left Maleburg, they spent a full 100 gold coins just on buying food and tools. The purchasing power of gold coins in this world was very strong. A total of 20 fishing nets were prepared, which could satisfy 10 fishermen fishing and drying their nets at the same time.

Now the fishermen had brought all the fishing nets on board, especially those two simple fishing boats, which Su Li had high hopes for.

Leif was arranged on the castle walls, holding a red flag in her hand. As soon as the clock on the church struck 11 o'clock, she would immediately raise the flag.

Knight Orsteiner followed Su Li, his eyes sharp, and immediately captured the bright red flag waving in the sunlight, and quickly reminded in a loud voice: "Lord, it's 11 o'clock!"

After hearing this, Su Li immediately commanded loudly: "Everyone, cast your nets!"

With his order, more than a dozen round nets opened, drawing graceful arcs in the air, covering half of the river's center.

The water surface was sparkling, and the fishermen quickly showed great surprise on their faces: "Lord, I feel like we are going to have a bumper harvest, the fishing nets can hardly hold it!"

Accompanied by the fishermen's shouts, experienced fishermen directed everyone to work together to pull in the nets. The net ropes were pulled, and ripples quickly stirred on the water surface. Countless fresh fish struggled in the nets, flashing silver light.

The entire river center and the shore erupted in cheers, and enthusiastic cheers floated over the entire territory, and everyone's faces were filled with the joy of harvest.

This wave must have at least two or three thousand pounds of fish!

Of course, they were happy, which meant that relying on this wave of fish alone, some of these fishermen might rely on their income to become kings through competition and get rid of their status as serfs!

With this huge incentive, the fishermen were not like serfs who were just muddling through. They were full of energy and deftly unloaded the fish to the dock, and immediately ignored the rushing river and entered the river center again, casting the second net.

As the fishing nets were retrieved, the fishermen in the river center erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers than before.

"Lightscale fish! Lightscale fish, Lord! We caught lightscale fish!" A fisherman tearfully threw himself on the boat, still tightly holding a large fish of forty or fifty pounds that was struggling fiercely.

No fisherman did not recognize this precious fish. It was slender, with golden scales all over its body. The scales shimmered with a charming luster in the sunlight, looking like stars scattered on earth from a distance.

Knight Orsteiner's eyes widened excitedly, his voice full of surprise: "Lightscale fish! Lord! This is a lightscale fish that even the dukes of the empire may not see once in a few years. Eating it will definitely improve the knight's cultivation qualifications."

"What are you still doing! Hurry up and help, don't let the fish run away."

Before Su Li's words were finished, cheers erupted in the river center again: "Golden scale fish! Lord, golden scale fish! We caught another one!"

At this moment, the cheers went straight into the clouds and could be heard for several miles. Even the knights who were training were alarmed and ran to the high cliffs to watch. The golden scale fish below shone brightly, dazzling and moving, making the blood of countless knights boil.
