Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#96 - The Territory Agreement of the Sun Goddess

When Su Li woke up, he could still see the tear stains on Hilde's face, like pear blossoms in the rain.

She was indeed too tired last night, so much so that even when Su Li woke up, she was still asleep.

But this was the perfect time for Su Li to check the daily intelligence system and see if there was any information that could increase the chances of winning tomorrow's decisive battle.

[Your strong desire to lie flat has been enhanced by the timeline, and you can gain the [Fate Prophet] ability while lying flat.]

[Because you are in a lying flat state, today's prophet message has been updated.]

[1: A Knight of the Blazing Sun will be traveling to the edge of the Mirror Marsh in the southern part of the Black Forest Territory this evening. This young elite-level Knight of the Blazing Sun has begun his trial journey to test whether the knowledge and martial skills he has learned are qualified. You can send a few mounted archer attendants to meet him and bring him to your territory, otherwise he will travel east from the southern end of the Mirror Marsh, passing by your territory.]

[2: The "Red Crown" cult has taken root in the gray rock valley northwest of the Jinke Mine. They have begun a large-scale exploration of the surrounding area. Obviously, their main energy is focused on the deep mountains. Something in the mountains is attracting them. Destroy them in time, otherwise they will unearth a terrible disaster.]

[3: The centaur tribe in the Blood Pine Forest has been affected by Tal, the god of summer and wilderness. Their wild nature is stirring. Within three days, they will successfully attack a dwarf fortress on the edge of the Gray Mountains, obtain a large amount of dwarf oath gold and dwarf equipment, and capture three teams of dwarf engineers.]

[4:……]

……

[6: Rohn Eisari's battle pilgrimage group should tour the territory, rather than hone their swords in the closed training ground. Let them see the vigorous vitality of the territory, and spread the teachings to the trained slaves in their spare time. This will greatly increase the faith in the Blazing Sun Goddess in the territory as the great battle approaches. This will make it easier to attract the Blazing Sun Goddess's gaze and receive divine grace. If there is a squad whose members are all believers of the Blazing Sun Goddess, they will receive a divine grace in battle and obtain the [Violet Spear]. For one minute, when devout believers wield the weapon in their hands as a spear, they can attach the goddess's divine power to the spearhead, greatly increasing the weapon's armor-piercing power.]

……

[9: The Broken Toe Tribe in the Blood Pine Forest has already set off. They can't wait to participate in the combat carnival in the Black Forest Territory. Goblins and Greenskins are especially fanatical in this regard. Perhaps this is your greatest opportunity. Take the initiative to attack, and while the River Trolls and Anarik Giant Spiders are marching behind the team, defeat the Greenskin forces that have already become detached from the rear. They are large in scale but weak in combat power.]

[10: Step up your cultivation with your ultimately loyal knight, Hilde, and stimulate her with stronger stimulation. Use words to spur her on, so that she constantly hovers between maintaining clarity and being ecstatic. She will have a great probability of breaking through her strength again.]

After reading the last line of golden text, Su Li was stunned. He lowered his head and gently kissed Hilde's smooth forehead.

Sure enough, are women made of water?

Hilde actually has the possibility of breaking through in her cultivation! She is simply like water, gentle, tenacious, and without limits!

If she continues to break through like this, Su Li feels that before the Green Dragon awakens, Hilde might even break through to become a Champion Knight in these four months!

Breaking through to Champion Knight in such a short period of time, she will become a legend throughout the territory.

Even when wandering poets visit the territory, they will compile her deeds into hymns and sing them to the north. A large number of nobles, knights, and civilians in the empire will hear Hilde's story in taverns, and know that in the remote border principality, a female Champion Knight as dazzling as a star has risen.

Feeling Su Li's moist lips and kiss, Hilde rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked, "Lord, do you want it again? Do you need me to change into another outfit to entertain you?"

Su Li groped her slender and rounded beautiful legs, and said with a smile, "Yes, I need it very much, but all of this will have to wait until tonight. I'll help you! I'll help you break through tonight!"

Avril took less of the brunt last night, so she was in good condition today. She got up full of energy and prepared breakfast. Hearing Su Li's voice, she went up to the second floor, sat in front of the bed, and said to Su Li, "Lord, I have prepared hot milk, hot bread, roasted venison, pan-fried fish fillets and fried sausages, a plate of boiled eggs, a plate of raspberries picked yesterday, honey, cheese, and I also made your favorite pies and vegetable soup for you."

Listening to so much delicious food, Su Li's stomach couldn't help but growl. He immediately jumped out of the quilt, and said with great energy, "Let's go, after we eat our fill, we'll go arrange today's affairs."

For his women, for the peaceful life in front of him, he must also strive! What greenskins, what green dragon, anyone who wants to destroy the beautiful life in his territory must die!

Sitting at the dining table, Su Li was so tempted by this table of delicacies that his saliva almost flowed down. Now his body is not the weakling he used to be. People who exercise regularly will be in a more energetic state.

Su Li even fought fiercely during the day and cultivated intimately at night, consuming a lot of physical strength, so he had a very good appetite. This table of delicacies weighed six or seven pounds, and there was a lot of meat, but he easily wiped out a third of it.

In the past, he couldn't believe that he would have the appetite to eat so much in the morning.

Of course, the greater probability was that he simply couldn't get out of bed and didn't have time to eat breakfast.

While he was eating breakfast with Hilde and Avril, Laun and Rohn walked into the castle together.

Laun was already accustomed to Su Li not finishing breakfast at this time. Rohn was quite surprised. This territory was full of vitality everywhere, and he thought it was because the lord was diligent in governing.

However, Su Li didn't care about his opinion. After inviting him to sit down, he asked, "My Chancellor of the Seal, do you have something to discuss together?"

"Yes." Laun reported in detail: "I talked with the head of the pilgrimage group yesterday, and listened in detail to the doctrines and ideas of their church. After some discussion, we believe that an agreement can be reached. But I don't have the power to decide and need to obtain your permission."

"Well, tell me in detail." Su Li had almost finished eating. He raised a glass of hot milk and gulped it all down, ending the rich breakfast.

Laun introduced: "The priests and believers of the Blazing Sun Goddess sect will provide services in the north for imperial citizens preparing to go south. With their efforts, many adventurous citizens in the northern part of the empire will move to the southern border of the empire, and develop this fertile land that is still slightly barren."

"But many people are still full of doubts about this journey. The looters on the road, the lords with malicious intentions, and the more crucial homesickness and the bewilderment brought about by the lack of any industry, all affect their choices."

"So perhaps we can reach a win-win agreement. We will build a territory blessed by the Blazing Sun Goddess here, and accept those immigrants who are believers of the Blazing Sun Goddess, and lease the unowned land to them for farming for three years."

In fact, Laun wanted to distribute land to the farmers, 30 acres of farmland per person, which could immediately attract a large number of civilians within the empire to flee to the Black Forest Territory.

But the lords of this world are extremely stingy and greedy. They only want to squeeze every copper coin from the farmers and would never give away wealth to the farmers for free.

So he took a step back. The land, mountains, rivers, forests, swamps, animals, plants, and even every flower and grass in the territory are all the wealth of the lord. It's just that the lord has the virtues of a knight, so he lent these uncultivated wasteland to those believers who also believe in the Blazing Sun Goddess for a period of three years.

During these three years, they do not need to pay rent, but they need to pay a high tax of 19%.

The most ⊥new⊥novel⊥is⊥at⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥launch!

For Su Li, this is of course a sure profit.

Anyway, if these wastelands are not leased out, they will only remain a grassland overgrown with weeds. After being leased to the farmers who move in, they will cultivate for three years, and this land will become fertile land, and it will still belong to Master Su Li.

After listening to Laun's suggestion, Su Li wanted to go further, waved his big hand, and even exempted the 19% tax.

During these three years of land reclamation by civilians, the lord exempted them from all taxes, so as to attract more people to come and reclaim the land.

But after thinking about it, he restrained his impulse. This is not the unified world of his previous life, where the emperor would generously encourage farming. For the first three years that farmers reclaimed farmland, not only were all taxes exempted, but even the farmland directly belonged to the farmers. Various land occupation orders and equal-field systems really encouraged whoever reclaimed the land, the farmland would belong to them.

In the current world, most lords are so greedy that they are unwilling to save even a penny of tax or rent. As long as he can be more generous and virtuous than others, he can attract a large number of imperial citizens to migrate.

The so-called excess is as bad as deficiency. If he is too generous, in addition to losing his own interests, he will also damage the interests of others. When the civilians and slaves in the territories of other lords run to the Black Forest Territory, he will offend everyone.

So Su Li waved his hand lightly and said, "Let everything be implemented according to your ideas. Speaking of spreading faith, Lord Rohn, I happen to have something to tell you."

"There is only one day left, and we will have a decisive battle with the green tide. I don't think it makes much sense for you to continue training this day. Why don't you take the people from the pilgrimage group to preach and pray for my army, so that more knights, attendants, and slaves can understand the divine grace of the Blazing Sun Goddess."

Hearing Su Li's suggestion, Rohn's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "This is the best thing. If we can make the Black Forest Territory a model territory bathed in the divine grace of the Blazing Sun Goddess, then it will be great for your battle and our immigrant teachings."

Being able to preach and spread the gospel, Rohn's attitude towards Su Li became more and more cordial, and he enthusiastically cooperated with all of Su Li's requests.

In the afternoon, the mounted archer attendants in his pilgrimage group picked up a heroic and strong Knight of the Blazing Sun Knights from the southern end of the swamp. This young knight, Joseph, was looking for a place to be stationed to help farms, villages, and horse stations fight against beastmen and greenskin attacks.

Hearing that the Black Forest Territory was about to face an invasion of more than 5,000 greenskins, he immediately became eager to fight and decided to help the territory fight against evil.

And Su Li, after capturing a 36-man farmer thug team who strayed into the Mirror Marsh, no longer continued to fight outwards, and returned to the territory to make final preparations.

Under his arrangement, all the people in the territory, from the lord to the civilians, slaves, and even ogres and dwarves, participated in the most grand bonfire dinner before the war.
