Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Su Li's deployment was undoubtedly very comprehensive. From conscripting troops from the affiliated territories to forming the criminal army, distributing weapons, reorganizing training, he took care of everything.

He even announced the establishment of military merits, rewards for beheading, and incentives to boost morale.

He really couldn't think of anything he had missed? And the most important thing.

If there was really such an important thing, how could Laun have not mentioned it at all?

So Su Li frowned slightly and looked at the tall Orstein Knight. This strong champion-level knight was his greatest confidence in fighting against the 5,000 green tide. He had a firm will, fought bravely, and was a devout believer in the Sun Goddess. He had a firm belief in the goddess, and had extremely high attainments in tactics, strategy, engineering, and other aspects. It can be said that he was an outstanding military commander.

He satisfied Su Li's fantasies about the war-loving generals under the chaotic monarchs of the classical era.

If there was anything that Laun didn't mention, but he emphasized it.

Su Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head and asked: "Are you talking about prayer to the gods?"

In this world, there are only two things that a lord must not entrust to others: one is sacrifice, and the other is war.

Even in this world with gods, the importance of sacrifice is above the army.

The gods really do get involved. For example, the White Wolf God, Yurik, often possesses the chosen knights he favors and personally goes into battle to chop people.

If some lords favored by the gods are usurped of their castles by treacherous officials, the gods will really give this lord a boost all the way, allowing him to reverse the situation with only a few people and recapture the castle.

So, aside from the materialistic means that Su Li had been exposed to in his previous life and had already prepared, the most important thing he had overlooked was of course the idealistic matter of the gods.

Hearing this, Knight Orstein smiled. He nodded slowly and said: "The victory or defeat of war, especially this kind of battle with the few against the many, the protection of the gods is the most critical factor for our victory."

"If our sincere prayers can gain the response of the Sun Goddess, and the Sun Goddess descends divine grace on the fiercely fought battlefield, then all our soldiers will have powerful forces emerge from their bodies, dispelling fatigue and immunizing against fear. Even if there are only hundreds of warriors, they can defeat thousands or even tens of thousands of troops."

Su Li immediately understood what he meant and asked: "So our top priority is to build a Sun Goddess Monastery(Monastery: 修道院)?"

"Yes." Knight Orstein said: "Our territory has not had strong divine grace for so long, so it will lead to panic when facing disasters. We should have a monastery of a powerful god, which can greatly enhance the territory's martial virtue and military level."

"For example, in our Sun Goddess Monastery, in territories with many followers of the Sun Goddess, almost every citizen must participate in a church "gathering" once a week, which is a temple service accompanied by preaching. Followers of the Sun Goddess also go to temples to confess, receive purification, and receive training as part of the local militia."

"Of course, not only us, followers of Yurik and followers of Redema will regularly attend church gatherings and conduct military training to defend the territory and fight against evil."

Su Li couldn't help but admire in his heart that this world, which respects knights and has prosperous martial virtues, can really be regarded as an enhanced version of the Guanzhong military group and the Fubing system in every aspect.

Every week, church followers will attend gatherings and receive some training as militia. Powerful knights in the church will guide them on the content of the training, so the people of the empire can fight against all kinds of monsters.

For example, in remote territories, villages, or even remote farmhouses, where they cannot get the protection of the army in the city, they can fight against beastmen, green skin warbands, and bandits who like to plunder villages and caravans.

Su Li just asked with concern: "We don't have any goddesses' priests or chanters who can get the attention of the gods?"

The so-called divine blessing is just that all living beings seek a glance from the gods.

"It doesn't matter." Knight Orstein said: "Miracles cannot take care of every church. In every town, city, and village within the empire, there is a temple to the knight gods. There are both the holy and glorious cathedrals in the capital, Terraheim, and many rural churches. The only manager of this small church is a traveling priest who visits once a week. Most devout families also have a small shrine to the gods, lined up along the roads of the empire. After we build the monastery, there will always be priests visiting."

Su Li couldn't help but think of that combat pilgrimage group.

The combat pilgrims are all devout believers in the gods. They have not yet entered the stage of formal knights and are mainly composed of trainee knights and armed servants. Although these people are extremely brave in battle, they also like to steal chickens and dogs, which makes the knights have to guard against them.

Perhaps this is an opportunity to keep them in the territory, at least there is a good chance to keep their leader, Ronn Eisari, who is obviously a pilgrim proficient in dogma, and can even act on behalf of divine wrath. There is a high probability that he has the attention of the Sun Goddess.

So Su Li considered for a moment and made a decision, saying: "Later, I will order all the ogre craftsmen in the territory to go to the northeast of the castle to build a Sun Goddess Monastery. They will work day and night and strive to build the monastery within three days."

With the announcement of this decision, the battle for the territory's faith in the gods has come to an end.

The White Wolf God, Yurik, was defeated, and the Sun Goddess became the territory's main god of sacrifice.

This god emphasizes the role of tactics and leadership, and at the same time has a more open mind, allowing knights to use strategies and engineering equipment, so that their army can achieve victory with overwhelming tactical advantages.

Of course, the White Wolf God, as a god officially recognized by the empire, is also allowed to promote their doctrines in the territory, and temples can also be built to display divine grace, but they will no longer receive official support from the territory.

Knight Orstein was particularly excited when he heard this. His blood vessels were throbbing, the golden aura soared, and he couldn't help but laugh excitedly: "Lord, I feel the arrival of divine grace. I have broken through to the intermediate champion-level knight."

Su Li's eyes also lit up. It seems that the information was correct. Today, the territory did receive the attention of the Sun Goddess. Therefore, Knight Orstein's missionary success successfully won the Sun Goddess's award.

He also laughed excitedly: "Hahaha, good, great. Before the war, your strength has been improved. Maybe this is the goddess's blessing for our victory."

Just as Su Li said, the miracle of the Sun Goddess before the war greatly boosted the morale of the territory's army.

In the torrential rain, the enthusiasm of the soldiers and slaves was also very high.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

No way, Master Su Li gave too much! Just now, the knights and nuns in charge of the selection announced an exciting news to them that all the young and strong who were successfully selected into the criminal army could get a bowl of hot fire velvet rabbit soup!

For this reward, countless people went crazy. This means that many of them will get a chance to change their lives against the sky.

As long as they can successfully awaken their bloodline and become trainee knights, then they will become members of the imperial ruling class from now on, no longer humble serfs, and even their descendants can benefit, and their children will no longer need to bear the obligations of the nobles' right of first night.

For this reason, Su Li paid the price of 6 fire velvet rabbits. Only two pairs of fire velvet rabbits were left to continue breeding, and the rest of the rabbits were stewed into soup by him.

After a bowl of hot fire velvet rabbit soup, everyone's body was warm, even if they were training in the pouring rain, they did not have a trace of cold, on the contrary, their blood was excited and full of excitement.

Su Li also ate three pounds of fire velvet rabbit meat again. He walked on the training ground and only felt his body was steaming. The bean-sized raindrops hit his face, and he couldn't feel a bit of cold, as if the heavy rain could not penetrate the soaring red aura on his body.

Without others saying much, Su Li can also be sure that he is about to break through to the high-level trainee knight, and the time is either this afternoon or tonight.

Vandal does not have such a strong physique as the knights. He held an umbrella and followed Su Li, watching the soldiers and slaves training in the torrential rain, and reported: "Lord, we have now recruited 30 ogres and 120 strong slaves. Lord Orstein has sent an elite knight and 12 formal knights to reorganize them. Except for the ogres who will go to the northeast of the castle to urgently build the Sun Goddess Monastery, the remaining 120 slaves are receiving preliminary training."

Su Li came to the training ground regardless of the heavy rain, just to see this recruited slave army. They are all potential candidates for peasant rioters. If they cannot be reorganized, they will not only be unable to serve the territory, but on the contrary, they may turn into a sharp blade that threatens the territory at any time.

It was Schwartz, Su Li's previous guardian knight, who was in charge of reorganizing them. He had completed the 120-man formation according to the Red Night Knights, and was training them on the basic queue standing.

There is no need to think about changing formations. These people can defend the position when defending, and can line up forward when attacking. Don't rush up like a herd of beasts. This is the highest requirement of military commander Orstein for them.

According to this training direction, Schwartz has arranged them into a basic phalanx, so they look decent. Everyone wears a helmet, a linen coat, a sleeveless leather jacket, and an iron-clad leather armor. Several captains even wear a chain mail shirt.

Su Li walked forward and asked Schwartz: "How is the training result?"

Schwartz wiped the rain off his face, turned to Su Li and reported: "It's too bad, Lord. When these idiots stand still, they can pretend to scare the enemy. Once they are slightly turned in one direction, more than 30% of the idiots can't tell the difference between left and right, and there are even a few idiots who can't tell the difference between front and back. Even if all of them are trainee knights, they are a group of sheep that can be easily defeated by three teams of armed servants. Unfortunately, most of them are farmers. I feel that 12 armed servants can defeat them with a fierce assault."

Sure enough, the soldiers are in the elite, not in the many.
