Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 169: Chapter 104: The Second Spirit Tree and the Prosperity of the Territory

One of the most important qualities of a lord is optimism.

Su Li’s beaming smile and overflowing confidence indeed infected all the surrounding knights.

The threat of the green dragon, originally like a heavy stone weighing down on everyone’s heart, made it nearly impossible to breathe when thought of.

But after listening to Su Li’s hopeful and bright plan, all the knights felt half of the pressure vanish, both their spirits and bodies relaxed significantly.

If we have a Divine Chosen Knight on our side, the war against the green dragon will indeed have a much better chance, especially since we have the dwarves as allies, who will bring professional Dragon Slaying Runes to aid us.

The comparison of enemy and our strength has improved significantly from before.

Hilude, seeing the joyful and relaxed smile on Su Li’s face, opened her mouth but didn’t speak. She decided to let the lord enjoy his happiness a bit longer, for now, not mentioning the strength and scale of the Green Dragon Followers within the Blood Pine Forest.

However, even if she didn’t want to break this moment, the straightforward dwarves couldn’t keep the matter to themselves, muttering, ”Does one Divine Chosen Knight intend to defeat the legion of green dragon followers?”

”On our way to the Dragon’s Nest, we encountered no fewer than three Divine Chosen level entities! This green dragon is a real socialite, how did she gather so many Divine Chosen level monsters into her legion?”

Three Divine Chosen level monsters? Su Li took a deep breath.

This green dragon is indeed hiding her true capabilities!

Perhaps all that has been discovered is just the tip of the iceberg of her strength.

Su Li frowned and said, ”This truly aligns with the trait of the green dragon being sinister and treacherous. Just when you think you understand her full power, she always has a hidden card. Such a despicable monster will never reveal all her tricks, always keeping a few trump cards for a turnaround.”

Hilude nodded slightly, saying thoughtfully, ”That’s right. I believe we must not underestimate this green dragon. We haven’t found more Holy Relics of Glory or Rare Level items in her treasury. We suspect she may have wrapped the most precious items with her tongue and hidden them in her stomach. Just to prevent adventurers from stealing them when she’s asleep.”

Su Li clicked his tongue in amazement; this green dragon is indeed cautious, employing all kinds of safeguards inside and out.

Su Li could only think positively and said to everyone, ”The green dragon’s cautiousness might not be a bad thing for us. Influenced by such a personality, if she discovers our strength is truly formidable, she’ll likely hide in the shadows of the forest to observe for a while, which would give us more time to grow stronger.”

Hilude also gently reassured Su Li, ”Lord, you can relax. You’re still young, not yet nineteen years old. Even if we face setbacks in our war against the green dragon, it won’t stop you from achieving great success in the end.”

Indeed, hearing Hilude’s words of comfort, Su Li felt much more at ease.

Even if he were to be defeated by the giant dragon, utterly defeated, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

At worst, he would just find a place to make a comeback; with the vastness of the Border Prince’s Territory, where can’t he establish himself anew?

Even if he were forced into exile, the resources to rise again are far greater than when he first arrived at the Border Prince’s Territory, with a single-digit number of elite knights and barely two hundred gold coins to his name, essentially starting with nothing and no experience.

Now, even if defeated, he still has a Divine Chosen Knight by his side; he himself has grown into a full-fledged knight, with wealth amounting to thousands of Golden Crowns.

The world is vast, where can’t he go? With such a wide future ahead, what endeavor can’t he undertake?

Thus Su Li clenched his fist, swung it heavily before him, and said with great momentum, ”Exactly. We are full of vigor and there are great prospects for the future. A mere small green dragon, we can surely come out on top! I believe that as long as we unite our efforts, we can definitely defeat the evil and protect our homeland.”

”The Fiery Sun blesses us! Our territory will surely prosper and flourish!”

With his invigorating shout, the surrounding knights were greatly motivated, their morale soaring like a rainbow.

As the saying goes, the general is the courage of an army. With Su Li’s high spirits, the knights too were full of ambition, shouting loudly in unison.

”The Fiery Sun blesses us!”

”Hesse Territory shall be a beacon of glory in the southern border of the Empire!”

Hilude then took the opportunity to produce a Moon Crown Tree seed and said to Su Li, ”Lord, here is a Moon Crown Tree seed. Once planted, it will grow into a tree according to the territory’s development. It represents the territory’s dominion, prosperity. In later stages, as long as this tree flourishes, the territory will remain prosperous.”

Curious, Su Li asked, ”If it’s bound to the territory’s destiny, does that mean even if the territory and the Moon Crown Tree were destroyed, once Hesse Territory is redeveloped, a Moon Crown Tree could emerge in the wild again?”

Vandar nodded, saying, ”This magical Holy Tree has that potential.”

Vandar then elaborated on the wondrous tree, explaining how after the sun sets, it blooms with flowers all over, and the water infused with its blooms has powerful effects against demons when used to temper weapons.

Its mystical abilities seem no less than that of the Holy Purple Vine Tree. The difference is one affects living beings, while the other acts on weapons and power.

Su Li then pointed to a new purple Spirit Field in the center of the courtyard and said, ”Then plant the Moon Crown Tree seed in the center of the manor’s courtyard.”
