Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 434: Chapter 179: Perfect-Grade Weapon: Alaric Beast Slayer

Although the worst situation might mean the richest rewards, Su Li considered himself a Virtue Lord, not a Cruel Lord, so the burning of Hesse Town was somewhat difficult for him to accept.

Then Oerstein continued to analyze: ”If everything goes smoothly, the Green Dragon will be mobilized by our attack this time. Our Knight Order is swift in speed, with the effect of the Phoenix Wing Talisman, we can rapidly reach the western side of the forest. This is a fairly long distance, even we human knights need to hurriedly travel for about 2-3 days.”

”With the speed of the Green Dragon’s Fang and the Tree Demon, to catch up with us and stop us from advancing to the Dragon’s Nest, they must exert all their strength and run day and night, continuously for at least three days and nights, or even four days and five nights!”

”By the time they force march to the edge of the forest, they will undoubtedly be exhausted, with their strong crossbows at the end unable to pierce through light fabric. At this moment, once they fall into our ambush, even if there are thirty thousand or even a hundred thousand Green Dragon’s Fang, they are just a hundred thousand pigs waiting to be slaughtered!”

This analysis of Oerstein finally made Su Li’s mind sharp and his spirits soar!

human Elite Knights charging against twenty thousand monsters is indeed like a meat bun hitting a dog, gone forever.

But 800 cavalry charging 100,000 pigs, that’s being unstoppable and unilateral slaughter!

Moreover, if everything truly goes smoothly, and the Green Dragon can’t restrain its greed and extreme possessiveness for gold, then the situation would be exaggerated tenfold, even a hundredfold compared to what Oerstein said.

Because once they choose to force march back in support, it’s not about whether they can raise their arms after the ambush, by then the scale of the monster army won’t be 100,000, not even 20,000.

In a few days and nights of forced marching, there will definitely be numerous monsters that collapse and fall behind, countless of them, a legion of 20,000 can lose five, six, even eight percent of its number along the way, stretching the army across dozens of miles or even up to a hundred miles in length.

The number of monsters truly entering the ambush circle will be extremely limited, possibly only a few thousand.

well-rested knights, following the teachings of the Sun Goddess, lured the monsters into a carefully chosen pre-set battlefield, and then launched a fierce attack on the thousands of exhausted monsters, surely it would be a battle that would greatly delight Her Majesty Violet.

Her Majesty Violet would bestow unparalleled splendid Divine Grace, and this 800 Elite Knight Order might very well be transformed into Champion Knights of the Sun Goddess on average.

Imagine 800 Champion Knights charging against thousands of monsters who can’t even raise their arms, it would definitely be a terrifying massacre!

If Su Li truly had 800 Champion Knights, he could even charge into the midst of 100,000 energetic monster army and come out unscathed.

Perhaps in this battle, he could truly deliver a world-defining, legendary victory using 800 cavalry to crush 20,000-30,000 monsters.

His legendary renown would closely resemble that of the renowned eastern general Sun Jian, becoming a military god after one battle.

Lu Bu once did such a brainless thing, leading 5,000 elite troops with other generals, running crazily for a day and night, then being crushed on the battlefield by Sun Jian.

The physical strength of monsters in this world might be slightly stronger than ancient professional soldiers on Earth, but not strong enough to maintain vigor after running for three days and nights.

Therefore, although Oerstein’s tactic involves a high degree of risk, it can be described as bold and meticulous, with at least a fifty percent success rate if executed properly.

With passion in his chest, Su Li gazed at the countless knights gleaming in gold sunlight, their armor dyed red with blood but not smoothing their sharpness, weariness tormenting their bodies but not diminishing an ounce of their loyalty.

With such an elite army, Su Li harbors ambitions to devour miles, decisively patting Oerstein’s shoulder as he said: ”Golden armor and iron steeds, swallowing a thousand miles, it shall be in this battle! Boldly go forward, my Marshal, I support this strategy of yours. If victorious, we will share the glory of legendary triumph. If defeated, we will bear the hardships together, striving for excellence, three thousand Iron Armor, we will surely slay the dragon!”

Upon hearing Su Li’s ambitious encouragement, Oerstein’s burly body immediately stood upright and solemnly pounded his chest with his fist, speaking with high spirit: ”With the Sun Goddess’ protection, we shall surely clear away evil and return triumphant!”

Su Li nodded, then said: ”Then gather the knights and go to the Sun Goddess Monastery to pray. I will hold the rear with Chief Steward Hilude. With the Sun Goddess above, we shall surely be bathed in Divine Grace and return victorious!”

”For Glory!” Su Li turned and looked at the surrounding knights, raising his arm high to shout.

”For Glory!” The surrounding soldiers immediately responded with a roaring chorus.

”May the Sun Goddess bless us to die with dignity!”

”Long live!”

”Victory forever!”

Afterwards, Oerstein solemnly turned and led the surrounding knights to the largest Sun Goddess Monastery within Heisen Castle for earnest prayer.

The Divine Grace acquired by the knights was so intense that even the blood-red sky was illuminated by the dazzling golden light atop the tower of the Sun Goddess Monastery, as if it draped the entire territory in a layer of golden radiance.

After Oerstein left, Hilude came to Su Li’s side, this High-level Attendant Chief had gone through bloody battles in the past few days, and his previously somewhat immature gentle face has now become mature, resolute, and exceptionally impressive and charming.
