Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 206: Chapter 116: Two Places, Three Exceptionally Rich Gains

The significant breakthroughs of the Knights finally lifted Su Li’s spirits.

After all, in war, it’s inevitable to have casualties. Although the army of the territory suffered heavy losses, the breakthroughs were also considerable.

During the time he was chatting with Hilude, Commander Oerstein also finally completed the count. The territory lost 8 Elite Level soldiers in battle, but gained 5 new Elite Level Knights. If you include the 4 new Elite Knights from the Knight Order, the number of Elite Knights had not decreased, but increased instead.

Furthermore, 17 Apprentice Knights advanced to become official Knights.

However, the ones who gained the most were the Armed Attendants. They faced the greatest pressure in this battle, suffered the most casualties, but also reaped the most rewards. A total of 46 Armed Attendants advanced to Apprentice Knights through the fierce slaughter and the motivation of life and death!

This is why Su Li said during the war mobilization that the notion of the Empire people not wanting to fight is merely a rumor. True Empire people love the thrill and clash of battlefields.

In this world, war is indeed the most important means for the lower classes to achieve a leap in social status.

Basically, once you become an Apprentice Knight, you’ve become one of the Empire’s own, transformed into a member of the ruling class. Becoming an official Knight means having numerous estates, wealth, and privileges.

Of course, amid all these breakthroughs, what caught Su Li’s attention the most was this Knight, Oerstein.

His rate of breakthrough was simply astonishing, and now he has already reached High Tier Champion Knight, with a pace completely not inferior to that of Hilude.

His personal cultivation speed was already exceptional; he became famous in Bauhinia Castle for his rapid breakthroughs in battle.

Upon reaching the Hesse Territory, he consumed large amounts of Light-Scaled Fish to enhance his aptitude. After experiencing numerous battles over the past six months, he had already broken through twice.

Su Li truly believes he might reach Divine Chosen Level before the Green Dragon Legion arrives.

However, regarding this matter, Su Li is both hopeful and apprehensive.

After all, every breakthrough of this Champion Knight occurs after a major battle; to advance to Divine Chosen Level, one can only wonder what kind of intense, stirring war he’ll have to go through.

And right now, the army of Hesse Territory truly cannot afford to engage in large-scale decisive battles anymore, as Hesse’s troops most need a period of recuperation and resurgence to restore the scale of the military.

But this isn’t easy, as the allied forces must continue fighting. During this vulnerable time for the demon army after the killing of the Divine Chosen Demon, efforts must be made to clear out the remaining demon tribes in the northern mountains as much as possible.

This concerns the scale of the territory’s spoils of war, as the main spoils and treasures of the demons should be in their valley camps.

Thinking about the scale of the spoils, Su Li asked with concern, ”What were the gains of this battle like?”

Hilude immediately replied, ”The gains from this battle aren’t actually low. The biggest gain undoubtedly is Skaven Blood Fury’s huge chain axe, which weighs tens of thousands of pounds!”

A weapon that weighs tens of thousands of pounds? It’s like the Golden Cudgel?

Su Li exclaimed in amazement, ”That heavy? I thought it was only a few thousand pounds.”

”How could that be possible,” Hilude said with a laugh, ”A few thousand pounds of steel would only be the size of a piece of armor; it’s still very dense and therefore very heavy. A weapon as big as a small mountain naturally weighs tens of thousands of pounds.”

”We’ve negotiated with the dwarves to evenly split this weapon. It contains a large amount of Vibranium, from which we can at least forge ten sets of Vibranium Rune Armor after smelting.”

”Ten sets of Vibranium Rune Armor?” Upon hearing this good news, the fatigue within Su Li’s body instantly vanished, feeling a surge of boundless strength explode from his chest. He immediately braced himself on Hilude’s shoulder and stood up.

”Hahaha! This is wonderful! Wonderful! With ten sets of Vibranium Rune Armor, we will be able to re-equip the Sun of Vengeance Knight Order and the Hesse Forbidden Guard Knights with Vibranium Battle Armor.”

Continuing to re-equip at this pace, it won’t take long for Su Li to realize his earlier ambition, namely to have elite forces in the territory wear Vibranium Rune Armor, regular Knights wear Star Iron Armor, and Armed Attendants wear the dwarves’ Fine Level armor.

With such a level of fine armor, he could face the onslaught of monsters with much more composure and confidently achieve victory with fewer forces against more.

Using a thousand elite troops to crush a disorganized crowd of ten thousand composed of Kobolds, Gnolls, Goblins, Forest Goblins, and other monsters.

The manpower resources of the territory are precious and must be protected with fine armament to avoid easily being depleted.

This is a situation not only Su Li has to face. The entire Human Empire is actually in a similar situation to him.

After all, this is a world in which a new Evil Great Demon King is born every month, with benevolent forces constantly besieged by the evil army.

Finding ways to enhance the military strength of the territory is the most important duty for every Lord.

Su Li did not expect that just a weapon from Skaven Blood Fury could yield such abundant rewards, splitting the raw materials of this weapon evenly with the dwarves and adding ten more sets of Rune Armor to the territory.

Listening to these abundant spoils, Su Li somewhat understood why the Empire people enjoyed the thrill and clash of the battlefield.

The key is that the materials of this weapon do not only include Vibranium but also a large amount of Fine Gold and Steel, which can be used to forge hundreds of sets of armor for the territory.

All this can greatly compensate for the losses suffered by the territory in this battle.

And while Su Li was excited, Hilude provided him with even more stimulation: ”Lord, if it’s just the Vibranium Rune Armor, the quantity is actually more than that. The followers of Khorne are all valiant warriors, armed with powerful weapons and armor, whose quality far surpasses that of goblins and their ilk.”
