Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

After Hilude activated the Divine General state, the most memorable impression for Su Li was her 40-meter long blazing longsword, this Beast Slayer itself was clad in a layer of dazzling gold light. With her full force swing, during the heavy strike, the longsword seemed to burn in the gold light, radiating a reddish-golden glow.

Anyone who has seen the image of gold being scorched by flames would surely be imprinted deeply; the saying that true gold fears no fire is indeed one of the most beautiful scenes in the world.

At this moment, the over 40-meter long sword sliced through the void, leaving behind a burning afterimage and brilliant glow, it’s truly hard to imagine what kind of powerful enemy could withstand such a ferocious strike from a Divine Chosen Knight.

No wonder in this dark and hopeless world, the Order Faction is always surrounded by endless Evil Legion, yet the Human Empire has stood strong for thousands of years. The Empire’s Knights truly have full martial virtue, mightily formidable to the point of shaking one’s core; even demons and monsters would be so frightened by this that they’d quiver and flee.

This also makes Su Li’s heart surge, wishing he could immediately unlock Divine Chosen level combat power.

As Hilude released the Divine General state, Su Li approached her, gently touched her Divine Chosen level armor, and said, "My Chief Steward, the charismatic presence of the Divine Chosen grade is truly impressive, and utterly mesmerizing."

Hilude smiled gently, put away the longsword, held Su Li’s right hand pressing on her battle armor shoulder, and encouraged: "Lord, all this can be realized soon as long as the territory is stable. We have Deep Blue Ears, and the Fiery Sun Canon, Divine Grace ensures daily progress and enhancement for you. As long as we possess the Holy Purple Vine pods, even relying on the persistence of dripping water piercing through stone, you will ascend to the Divine Chosen level. Moreover, under the effect of so many Extraordinary Ears, your bloodline ability is extremely powerful and robust; once you reach Divine Chosen level, you can activate the Divine General state anytime and anywhere, belonging to an extraordinarily strong category."

Hearing this, Su Li’s mood brightened immediately, indeed what was said isn’t wrong. Personal strength is secondary to him; as a Lord, the most important thing is to manage the territory well. As long as the territory grows strong and stable, anything he desires can be achieved!

He then smiled and said, "Then let’s put away the armor, and continue visiting the Black Forest Armory."

Upon hearing that the Lord wanted to visit the armory, Belos Dragon Hammer squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, arriving at the armory’s front door.

The crowd in the square had not dispersed yet, and some minstrels had transformed into Xi’Er, giving a charismatic speech at the tavern and the square.

The crowd was intensely enthusiastic, wishing eagerly to join the Expeditionary Army immediately, to launch a sacred war.

In fact, the minstrels were far more enthusiastic than Su Li anticipated; they were essentially receiving a bonus reward of 3 Silver Coins without Su Li even asking. Even without Su Li’s demand, they would passionately promote the holy expedition and the teachings of the Fiery Sun Goddess.

After all, these two fit together perfectly; the Fiery Sun Goddess is among the human deities, the one most fond of initiating expeditions akin to the Green Skin waaaaagh.

In such times, her followers and Knights are extremely fervent, feeling a sense of holiness in war. Any minstrel who lightly stirs during this period wouldn’t require eloquence and could incite the crowd’s cheer, rewarding them generously. This becomes the best opportunity for minstrels to earn wealth.

Even Su Li, the Lord, is taking advantage of this opportunity to sell military equipment extensively.

In the time leading up to the expedition, the Knights’ consumption is exceedingly impulsive, almost going bankrupt to purchase various equipment. This is not solely due to religious fervor but also for plunder and profit. As long as the war can be won, they would gain substantial wealth through plunder.

This time, delving deep into Oka Mountain will certainly sweep out numerous abandoned Dwarven treasure troves; the Dwarven wealth surpasses even Arabi’s ancient tombs.

The Knights’ procurement of equipment and supplies not only increases their survival chances but is equivalent to investing in themselves to reap greater returns in future expeditions.

As Belos drew near, Su Li asked, "The Holy Expedition is approaching, how are our armory sales?"

Belos immediately replied, "Lord, since you announced the expedition, our armory sales have been exceptionally brisk. Currently, a weapon of Fine Level even after being discounted, its price has soared to 24 Golden Crown."

Golden Crown for buying a Fine Level weapon, considering previous times, such value would be sheer folly. As during many instances, 20 Gold Coins would buy a set of Fine Level Plate Armor.

But now it truly doesn’t seem high, because the weapons sold outside Hesse Territory are generally enchanted twice, firstly during quenching, using the Crown Tree Flower.

After this Radiant Competition Festival, the Knights who joined Hesse Territory have exceeded 500+, including attendants and civilians, the population surged by over 2000, with added estates, farms, and villages close to 10.

This caused the Moon Crown Tree to shoot up in height instantly; this tree is intricately related to Hesse Territory’s prosperity, as long as Hesse Territory’s strength improves and the territory flourishes, it will grow rapidly. Similarly, its silent growth of a few centimeters at night will reciprocally benefit Hesse Territory, reflected in improved field yields, more plump fish in ponds, even faster population growth, and stronger humans.
