Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Deciding to defend his home and fight the Green Dragon to the end was not just an impulsive decision for Su Li.

Su Li had carefully considered it. If he didn't have the courage to face challenges head-on and instead ran away every time he encountered a crisis, even with the help of the Daily Intelligence System, there would eventually be a crisis he couldn't escape. He would be stuck in a dilemma, unable to avoid death no matter what.

But if he could do his best, relying on his strength and luck to meet challenges head-on and overcome difficulties, then the crisis would turn into an opportunity for him. Only then could he walk further and more steadily on the road ahead.

Even if he was a bit worse off, and the difference in strength was too great, he could still escape before the Green Dragon woke up!

So, Su Li took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and earnestly asked Hilde, "If there is a cruel Green Dragon sleeping around our territory, and it will destroy our territory after it wakes up, what would you do?"

The reason Su Li asked Hilde was because Hilde's talent was very outstanding. If someone is a genius in cultivation, they are generally not bad in other aspects. With her aptitude, she is practically a perfect believer of the Sun Goddess, capable of outstanding achievements in leadership, politics, strategy, and martial arts.

So, Su Li also wanted to hear her advice.

Hilde knew that Su Li wouldn't speak without a purpose. After listening to Su Li's question, she thought seriously for a moment and said, "If there is a Green Dragon secretly eyeing us, then I think to deal with this crisis, our territory should start from two aspects."

"First of all, without a doubt, we must do everything possible to strengthen the territory's own strength. Only a more prosperous territory and a larger army can support our large-scale war with the Green Dragon."

"Then there are the military tactics. Since the Green Dragon will definitely destroy our territory after it wakes up, we cannot passively defend, waiting for it to wake up and calmly assemble a massive force. We must take the initiative to attack and weaken the Green Dragon's power. Before it wakes up, the more of its dependents we kill, the higher the chance of winning the decisive battle after it wakes up."

Hearing this, Su Li nodded slightly: "Your suggestion is very reasonable, with both solid and reliable fundamental measures and flexible and active tactical arrangements. Let's deploy it this way."

The art of war says to combine the orthodox with the unconventional to achieve victory, which is this kind of situation.

After making up his mind, Su Li looked at Hilde, who was helping him wash and dress, and considered whether to send her to a military academy for further study, or to the Flame Sun Knights for advanced training.

Her talent is very outstanding. If she also has systematic education, then she might grow into a legendary war marshal.

But now that he hasn't found a way, he said to Hilde: "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to take care of my daily life anymore. Follow Knight Orstein to learn how to command troops. Let Avril take care of me. She has used the Water Elemental Heart and has also awakened as a trainee knight."

The two Water Elemental Hearts obtained from killing the three River Trolls, one Su Li rewarded to the elite female knight Amelie, and one rewarded to Avril, so Avril is now also practicing knightly training with Su Li every night.

Hearing this, Hilde instantly became a little panicked and asked, "Why, Lord, did I… did I do something wrong? Please don't drive me away."

Su Li stroked her soft hair and said with a smile, "I'm not going to drive you away, but I hope you can have more time to study and practice."

"But, following you is cultivation," Hilde looked at him nervously, her beautiful eyes full of unease: "I can arrange the time, Lord, I want to stay by your side all the time."

"Okay," Su Li saw that she was so nervous, so he didn't force it, and said: "Then you take Avril to the military camp for training during the day, and then come back to practice at night. Now you go and notify Knight Orstein to immediately assemble the troops and prepare to officially start conquering the surrounding forces."

Hearing this, Hilde finally cheered up and immediately put on her armor with Avril, and followed Su Li to the training ground.

The knight training ground is located on the east side of the castle, connected to the castle's low walls with wooden stakes.

When Su Li arrived, Knight Orstein had been training the team for a long time.

From Su Li's point of view, this army is already very elite, and every move can be said to be well-trained. The knights' armor is bright, the attendants' formation is neat, and with Knight Orstein's command, the entire army immediately gathered neatly, their steps were uniform, the armor clanked, the infantry phalanx was majestic, and the spears were like reeds, and the shields were like heavy walls.

In terms of the neatness of the phalanx and the queue, they have done impeccably, and as for the more specific combat effectiveness, it will only be known on the battlefield.

After Knight Orstein completed the formation, he turned to Su Li and punched his chest with his fist, gave an imperial military salute, and said loudly: "Lord, the entire army of Black Forest is assembled, and the direction your sword points is the direction we will fight."

Su Li nodded in satisfaction, walked to the front of the army, and shouted to everyone: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is for using them for one moment! Today is the moment for you to step into the battlefield and gain glory! For the favor of the Sun Goddess, for the honor of the knights, everyone will fight with me!"

At this moment, the knights' always high morale suddenly exploded, and all the knights and all the armed attendants, carrying the dream of gaining glory, shouted: "For glory, for the territory, long live!"

"For the Lord, for the Goddess, long live!"

All the soldiers' eyes were filled with light. The soldiers were full of longing for the future. Everyone believed that following Su Li, they would definitely gain opportunities, glory, status, and wealth.

Their morale was high, and with just a few simple encouragements, they could instantly explode with unparalleled fanaticism.

Su Li's determination was made, and his demeanor was swift and decisive. He instructed Knight Orstein: "My commander, you lead the foot knights and armed attendants to clear the Green Leaf Land in the north. There are dense forests and deep valleys. I suspect there are hidden forces. This time, conduct a detailed exploration from east to west. If you encounter monster nests or farms, don't rush to attack, mark the locations and wait for me to come back for support."

"All other shock knights follow me down the river and explore westward."

Knight Orstein and Frederick took orders at the same time: "Respect your will, Lord."

Under their orders, the two teams immediately set off towards the west and north of the territory with high morale and fluttering flags.

Although Knight Orstein's work focus during this period was training the army, he did not neglect security patrols. Every day, knights led teams to patrol around the territory. Within a range of 50 to 100 miles, the knights would patrol for two or three days before returning, which has guaranteed that there are no threats around the territory to the greatest extent.

Therefore, at the moment, the two troops set off separately, almost all the main forces were dispatched, leaving only one official knight with 10 attendants to guard the castle and protect the granary.
