Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

So he pressed down on Hilude, whose sword was already half drawn, pushing her sword back in and said with a faint smile, ”On a triumphant day, let’s not make it awkward. Come, let’s go greet our Commander.”

Hilude snorted coldly, re-sheathed her sword, turned around to guard behind Su Li, and walked towards the outside of the castle.

Seeing this, Connor finally felt a sense of relief and called out to the knights behind him, ”Come, let’s see just how mighty Young Master Suli’s army really is!”

The word ”mighty” was exaggeratedly drawn out, clearly mocking.

Stern felt dizzy; he had been fighting on the Bloody Highlands for the past month, and hadn’t even had time to write to his father or Bauhinia Castle.

Moreover, he was just an ordinary soldier among the Hesse Guards, with no authority to attend high-level meetings. His impression was that the territory was still heavily damaged from the war with the demons. It wasn’t until the Commander led the troops on campaign that he realized how grand the military might of Hesse Territory could be when fully mobilized.

So when Su Li walked out, he quickly whispered to Connor, ”Father, the scale of the territory’s army is far beyond what you see! You really should adjust your attitude, or you might suffer for it.”

Connor dismissively said, ”No matter how large a rabble it is, it is nothing in front of the Red Night Knight Order. Son, don’t you want to advance further and become a captain of the Hesse Guard Knights?”

Stern’s eyes widened instantly, become a captain?

He quickly shook his head like a rattle; could he even imagine the strength required to be a captain of the Hesse Guards?

That was a position only a champion-level knight could hold!

Connor scolded angrily, ”Useless! I think you’ve stayed in this small place too long, your mind has become narrow. Being a knight makes you this happy, and you don’t even dare to think about becoming a captain?”

”Get out of the way, watch how I establish my prestige!”

With that, he pushed away Stern’s arm holding him, and disdainfully led the family knights towards the stone corridor of the castle, walking outside.

The knight beside him sneered and said, ”This remote borderland territory is small, but its airs are not. Such a long stone corridor, and we’re not allowed to ride horses.”

”I remember beyond this stone corridor is a ten-meter open field before a low castle, just perfect to see the ’might’ of Young Master Suli’s territory’s ’army’! Hahaha.”

The wanton laughter ceased suddenly as they reached the end of the stone corridor, meeting the sun’s afterglow!

Su Li emerged from the stone corridor encircled by a group of Golden Armor Knights, as the sun’s golden rays poured down, reflecting dazzling light off the golden armor.

The vermilion banners of the Bauhinia clan on either side of the stone corridor fluttered in the breeze, vividly displaying the family’s honor and majesty.

These banners not only shone brightly in color, but also illuminated the entire corridor like flames leading to the throne.

As Su Li led the knights up to the high platform, everyone’s shadows were stretched long by the sun.

Along with them, the vast scene unfolded before the eyes.

Connor and all the family knights behind him widened their eyes instantly, collectively gasping in astonishment.

In the center of the marble fortress below, a flood of Heavy Knights clad in plate armor shone brightly under the sun’s light!

When these Heavy Knights formed their array, their mighty figures nearly covered the entire square of the castle below.

Their appearance was like a moving steel forest, filling the flat plaza between the city walls and the inner castle.

Even the majestic stone walls and towers of the castle paled in comparison to these dazzling Heavy Knights, seemingly ready to be toppled and submerged by their sheer power at any moment.

The military might was vividly displayed at this moment.

Even powerful knights, standing on the walls and witnessing the spectacular scene of the army below, could not help but feel awed.

Because everyone knew, if such a vast army launched an attack, its momentum would be like an insurmountable mountain, overwhelming everything in its path.

What shocked Connor and the others even more was that this army was clearly not a mere rabble.

Their banners fluttered, armor gleamed in the sun, and they stood row upon row in perfect order, each person exuding unrivaled might and fierce dominance.

All of them wore heavy, finely crafted plate armor, their polished armor reflecting dazzling lights under the sun, each soldier holding a sword with its blade driven into the ground beside them, knights with shields standing firm with their shields in front, while numerous long lances behind stood like a forest.

Each stood straight under the banners, bowing their heads to the Lord on the high platform, displaying their submission.

Knight Oerstein, wielding a massive warhammer, jumped off the Half Griffin, and shouted: ”Salute the Lord!”

All knights and armed attendants instantly knelt on one knee with their weapons supported, shouting in unison like a tidal wave: ”Salutations to the Lord!”

This overwhelming roar caused the knights from the family to recoil in shock, looking around at each other, seeing the astonishment reflected in everyone else’s eyes.

Connor was so excited that he couldn’t make a sound; was this Young Master Suli’s army?!

Could a small Border Development Territory forge such an elite army?

He was shocked to the point of his scalp tingling, and he had dared to presume to instruct Young Master Suli?
