Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Hearing Freya’s proposal, Su Li’s face lit up with a radiant smile. Who says that the Church Knight Orders only accept donations and not spend any? Isn’t this a way to also hand out gold coins?

15,000 Golden Crowns, even for the wealthiest Church Knight Order, this is no small expenditure.

And within the Knight Order of the Sun Goddess, only the knights of the Flame Sun Knight Order are the most affluent in the entire world. The wealth of the Greenfield Knights is far less than that of the Flame Sun Knight Order, as they’re always in the forest where wealth is relatively limited.

Of the 15,000 Golden Crowns, I’m afraid more than half are provided by the Corona Knight Order. It’s remarkable that the Arrow of Light Knight Order can offer a few thousand Golden Crowns.

So, from this perspective, both sides are doing their utmost to support the territory in constructing a large church.

Su Li found it inappropriate to decline further, and moreover, he had the intention in this regard, so he said, "No problem. In that case, I will contribute 20,000 Golden Crowns to the expansion of the church in the northeast direction of Bauhinia Palace."

"Let’s gather these 35,000 Golden Crowns and hand them over to the Provincial Affairs Council and the Bishop’s Council, having Oliver, Lord Rong’en, and you as supervisors from all three parties to advance the construction of this church. What do you think?"

Freya was very satisfied with this proposal and immediately said, "The lord’s decision is very wise, we will support your plan."

"And what are your other two requests?"

"The second request is about the composition of the Expeditionary Army. Our Corona Knight Order and Greenfield Knight Order will each send a knight battalion totaling no less than 300 knights to participate in this holy great expedition. We hope to secure a mentor position within the Bauhinia Expeditionary Corps to spread Her Majesty Violet’s teachings."

This means letting the Bauhinia Expeditionary Corps participate in this Empire’s holy great expedition under the name of the Sun Goddess.

Although within the Hesse Territory, the position of the Sun Goddess is absolutely dominant, this holy great expedition is a grand event for the entire Empire. The Empire’s mainstream churches, such as the Yurik Church, Redema Church, Church of the Goddess of Justice, Mole Church, will all send influential corps to participate.

Many lords will represent various church factions and participate in this expedition.

At this time, it is also the best stage to showcase the influence of various Divine Spirits. For instance, the lords who believe in Yurik are 120, with an army of 80,000; Redema belief has 80 lords, with an army of 60,000; while Violet’s faith as Master of War only has 40 lords, with an army of 30,000. So, the respective influences are self-evident, aren’t they?

So before the expedition, priests and knight orders of various churches will certainly do their utmost to persuade the lords of each territory. The Empire is a polytheistic country, with many churches and followers of different churches in each territory.

Therefore, which faith a lord represents to join the expedition becomes very important. If at least 1,000 knights in the Hesse Territory are placed under the Sun Goddess faction, it will undoubtedly enhance the influence of Violet’s faith even further.

Su Li decisively responded, "No problem. I will let Handsome Gilles take care of the knights you send, giving you places as mentor and deputy leader in the Expeditionary Corps. As followers of the Sun Goddess, we are duty-bound in this regard."

"What’s the last matter?"

A hint of blush appeared on Freya’s cool face, probably shy about making so many requests, but for the development of the Knight Order, she had no choice but to speak, "Our Corona Knight Order has recently expanded rapidly, and Captain Constantine wants to ask you if you can sponsor our knight order with a piece of garrison territory, providing several new villages and farms."

"Of course, no problem." Su Li smiled and embraced her, "The donation of 15,000 Golden Crowns is enough to buy out the production of ten villages for a hundred years. Granting the Corona Knight Order a few more villages is not much of an issue. But with all the help I’ve provided, my dear deputy leader, shouldn’t you also show some appreciation? How will you repay my generous donation?"
