Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 207: Chapter 116: Two Places, Three Extremely Rich Harvests (2)

”In this battle, we killed as many as a thousand or two thousand Demon Champion Warriors and Chaos Warriors. The dwarves generously gave all of this to us. If they are carefully reforged in the future, there might be four or five sets of Vibranium Rune Armor.”

Su Li agreed with this number; the equipment of the Demon Legion is extremely refined. The demons like the Bloodthirsty Vampires are another story—both their weapons and equipment are unsuitable for humans.

But the Red Crown cultists and Chaos Warriors are made up of mortals. They are well-equipped, and their scale is roughly equivalent to that of the human and Dwarf Alliance Army.

The eight hundred soldiers in Hesse Territory had nearly ten sets of Vibranium Rune Armor before the war began, so it’s very normal for the Chaos warriors and cultists to have about four or five sets among nearly two thousand people. If the dwarves carefully reforge and craft them, maximizing the use of resources, they might even melt down six or seven sets.

This way, after the Sun of Vengeance Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order has completely re-equipped, the Forbidden Guard Knights of Hesse might also have more than half equipped.

Su Li just raised an eyebrow in astonishment and asked, ”How come the dwarves are so generous to give us all the spoils of the battlefield?”

We must know the dwarves’ desire for gold and wealth is not lesser than that of a Giant Dragon.

Hilude laughed and said, ”They haggle over even a few copper plates. How could they be so generous and open-handed? They gave all these spoils to us for the sake of greater profit. They insisted that all the spoils under the mudslides belong solely to them. We negotiated with them for a long time, but they wouldn’t budge. They insisted that if we also wanted the spoils beneath the ruins, then the battlefield spoils would have to be divided proportionally.”

Hearing this, Su Li also laughed, saying that such generosity from the dwarves would surely be for greater interests.

The condition presented by the dwarves was clearly targeting Hesse Territory, knowing that Hesse Territory lacked a fortress to hold, being eager to gain wealth and convert it into power. That’s why they insisted that the spoils beneath the ruins be cleared before dividing.

Negotiating with these hot-tempered dwarves is clearly not the forte of the Knights.

It’s a pity that Lauren, the genuine negotiation expert of the territory, is not here; otherwise, Hesse Territory could have gained more benefits.

However, Su Li only sighed slightly and then said, ”Forget it. Let’s give the spoils under the ruins to the dwarves. After all, they were the main force in this battle and also bore greater casualties. They have already been generous enough to share Skaven Blood Fury’s weapons with us equally.”

The major factor, however, was Mudalin’s death—it would seem harsh to endlessly haggle over the division of interests at this point with the dwarves.

As far as the trade between both parties goes, once the relationship is well managed, the wealth obtained from future trade will soon compensate for these losses.

Because according to Su Li’s plans, the industries of both parties complement each other perfectly. From the dwarves’ side come high-value jewelry and large quantities of weapons and armor, and Su Li’s territory provides them with abundant food and fine wine. Both can reap profits from the transaction and thrive.

Su Li looks forward to their population growing, solidifying the status of the Hesse Territory border granary.

Moreover, Su Li still holds a treasure most prized by the dwarves. Despite paying such a huge price, the dwarves have shown restraint by not demanding the spoils back from Su Li, which is a sign of how much they value this friendship.

Su Li raised the Dwarf Horn in his hand and asked, ”What use does this horn serve?”

Hilude replied, ”I just asked Dorglin, and he said this horn has three effects.”

”Firstly, it grants the ability of a [Close Combat Expert]. When you blow this battle horn, your soldiers will gain the martial arts skills of a close combat expert for the next minute, making them more deadly in battle.”

”Next is [Reorganize Formation]: any soldiers whose courage has collapsed will feel a new surge of powerful courage and the belief to reclaim past honor from within, immediately reorganizing the formation to launch a counterattack. This trait will still work in the face of magic-induced fear.”

”Both of these abilities can be used once every 10 minutes.”

”Lastly, it’s the most powerful ability that can only be used once in a battle, [Summon Ancestral Spirit]. When a dwarf blows this horn, it can summon the powerful ancestor of the Redbeard Clan, Ankor Redbeard, who will slay enemies as a heroic spirit but only exist for 30 seconds.”

Su Li immediately asked with concern, ”How strong is Ankor Redbeard?”

If he’s at the champion level, Su Li would find him very underwhelming and wouldn’t even bother specifically asking a dwarf to blow this horn.

If it’s at the Divine Chosen Level, it would be hugely significant—30 seconds of a Divine Chosen unit could bring great changes to the battlefield situation. These scant seconds could even create a chance to win.

If it’s at the Legendary Level! Su Li wouldn’t even dare imagine it; he’d be willing to call it a divine artifact.

Hilude smiled without directly answering, instead mischievously asking, ”Why don’t you guess? Maybe it’ll give you a huge surprise.”

Clearly, this always gallant Female Knight was behaving unusually, wanting to improve Su Li’s mood after the war.

Indeed, Su Li’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he asked, ”Could it be at the Divine Chosen Level? Or could it even be at the Legendary Level?!”

Hilude laughed and replied, ”Neither.”

”Then it certainly isn’t at the champion level, could it be...” Su Li gasped sharply, ”Could it be at the Holy Sanctuary Level?”
