Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

And the King’s only son—Kazlik—faced the most terrifying fate: the young Dwarf prince was captured by the green-skins in the Throne Room. To humiliate the King of Thunder Horn, Gorfang ordered Kazlik’s beard to be shaved, and then nailed the prince alive to the throne of Iron Peak Castle.

Although Kazlik was later rescued by the Dwarves who arrived in time, the prince suffered immense trauma from such humiliation, and consequently lost his sanity. It was so severe that Kazador had to order his imprisonment, and to this day, the prince has yet to regain his wit.

After Gorfang fled, Kazador vowed to give away half of his wealth to anyone who could rescue his kin from Black Rock Castle, a quarter of his property to those who would retrieve their bones from Black Rock Castle and let them rest in Karak Iron Peak, and for warriors who could kill Gorfang, they may choose any of the King’s treasures.

Since Kazador was as wealthy as any other king, the reward caused a considerable stir in the Mountain Kingdom. The only relief for Kazador’s guilty conscience was to personally settle this grudge, so he often led his army patrolling the World’s Edge Mountains. He became a dark and heartless sworn avenger, mercilessly executing any green-skins falling into his grasp. When the thunderous horn echoed across the sky, the elite legion of Iron Peak Castle would appear on the horizon, with King Kazador holding the horn, standing before all the warriors, raining vengeance and destruction upon the green-skins defiling the mountains.

Perhaps heaven might take pity on him, allowing him to encounter Gorfang again on the battlefield one day, thus avenging his son personally and shedding the heavy burden weighing on his heart.

Torrek Ironbrow’s legendary quest is connected to all of this. He hopes Su Li can at least retrieve some of the kin’s remains from the green-skin dungeons of Black Rock Castle. It would be even better if Gorr could be slain.

However, none of this is easy. It is said that in his prime, green-skinned warlord Gorr possessed peak-level High Tier Divine Chosen strength, which is unmatched by the current knights of the territory.

After all these years, Gorr’s strength might have even reached legendary levels. At least in the remote Hesse Territory, the inhabitants all know of a powerful Beastman Warlord Gorr near the distant World’s Edge Mountains. He, alongside the infamous Nagash Champion—Dwarf Slayer—Guer, is called one of the two demons threatening the Order Faction.

Guer is even more legendary than Gorr, an absolute nightmare for the Dwarf Kingdom at the World’s Edge Mountains, a presence that stops Dwarf children from crying. His terrifying deeds are countless and spine-chilling. Just by mentioning one, his power becomes evident. This fellow was once the Champion of Khorne, and after dying, became Nagash’s Champion Warrior. Rarely have the Mountains Kingdom accrued such bloody debts, whether alive or dead, and most importantly: after dying for the first time at Karak Cadlin, his sins have never been atoned.

This completely shattered Su Li’s understanding. How can a Champion of Khorne also become an undead warrior? Did he die as a Chaos Warrior and was then controlled by Nagash?

Had it not been clearly recorded that there was such a person, even with his renowned elite troops—Legendary Tomb Legion—Doomsday Legion, Su Li might have thought it was a concoction by Dwarves scared witless, fabricating such a terrifying monster—Black Axe—Guer. It’s said that within this legion, there is no lack of Ancient Corpse Demons who served Guer during his Champion of Khorne days, following him from the West River to Ice Lake Bay, these loyal warriors would accompany their champion to the ends of the earth.

In Dwarf legends, each swing of the Ancient Corpse Demon King Guer’s black axe results in terrifying massacres, chopping down leaders and brothers of Dwarf clans as easily as cutting down Goblins.

And to battle these formidable monsters, it demands that the knights of Hesse Territory be incomparably strong.

The Dwarves crafting these armors excitedly watched Hilude, while Bierga nervously asked, "Honored Divine Chosen Knight, could we possibly see your Divine General state?"

Su Li was also very curious. Since the end of the Green Dragon War, he hadn’t seen Hilude exert herself fully in a long time, even when a Divine Chosen Demon of Khorne—Ganser—appeared, Hilude hadn’t exerted herself fully. Assisted by many Champion Knights and Elite Knights, she defeated Ganser with little exertion.

Furthermore, this was the first debut of the Divine Chosen Armor, Su Li was filled with anticipation, saying to Hilude, "My knight, after all, you have plenty of Extraordinary Ears to replenish your energy, you can directly activate the Divine General state, let’s take a look."

Witnessing the majesty of the Divine Chosen Knight in Divine General state would undoubtedly greatly enhance the pride and sense of belonging among the Church’s believers.

Hilude hesitated for a moment, then gently smiled at Su Li, saying, "It’s perfect timing as the Minstrels are about to proclaim the praises with full effort today, we will join the grand occasion of the debut of the Divine Chosen level armor, which would evidently benefit our territory. So I will clear out an area and activate the Divine General state now."

Very quickly, the high-level attendants cleared a space in the square, and Hilude effortlessly and casually activated the Divine General state.
