Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 438: Chapter 180: Facing the Deceitful Wings—Aeliria

Without a doubt, this new Rare Level weapon [Beast Slayer] can greatly enhance Hilude’s combat power. If she encounters the River Giant Witch again, the battle will not be as arduous.

This powerful Rune Sword can even interrupt Suction Magic, truly demonstrating that half of the combat power of a Knight and Caster comes from their equipment.

More importantly, with this Rare Level equipment, the tactic Hilude spoke of becomes feasible!

By executing a decapitation strategy, the entire army attacking from a certain direction will collapse.

Su Li turned to look at Hilude and asked, ”Which Divine Chosen Level monster do you plan to behead?”

Hilude promptly and calmly replied, ”I have already thought about this carefully for a long time. The Green Dragon is excluded first. It’s too cunning and values its life, always hiding in a safe position and retreating at the slightest hint of danger, so it’s practically impossible to execute a decapitation strategy on it.”

Su Li nodded slightly. Being a Flying Monster, the Green Dragon has a significant strategic advantage. If it really plays to its Green Dragon trickery by pulling and taunting while using Dragon Language Magic, then it’s possible that it won’t be Hilude executing the decapitation strategy, but rather it doing so on Hilude.

”Next to be excluded is the Chaos Monster Chimera Skaros. It is also a Flying Monster and very cunning, not even needing to fight. It might flee at the sight of me approaching with a sword. Moreover, its subordinate legion has been completely depleted. Currently within the Green Dragon’s legion, its influence is negligible, and killing it will hardly affect the strategic pattern of the Green Dragon Legion, and might even reduce the challenges faced by the Green Dragon, strengthening Green Dragon Aeliria’s rule.”

So, that leaves only Tree Demon Gael Regon and Elemental Giant Bear Ostanka.

According to Su Li’s intelligence, the deaths of these two monsters could directly affect the survival and collapse of the Green Dragon Legion.

If Elemental Giant Bear Ostanka were slain by Hilude, perhaps by tonight, Gael Regon would command its Tree Demon Legion to swarm towards the Thorn Throne, binding and torturing the Green Dragon. Chaos Monster Skaros would definitely be happy to lend Gael Regon a hand. This Chimera has always longed to whip and torment this alluring Little Green Dragon.

If Gael Regon were killed, the Tree Demon Legion might crumble within days, especially during a lengthy march where the Tree Demons would rapidly fall behind and then disappear into the forest.

Hilude meticulously contemplated for a moment and said, ”I decide to continue to slay Gael Regon. Firstly, it is a Tree-man, very lacking in mobility, making it the most probable to be slain. Secondly, if it encounters a crisis, the Green Dragon will not give full support to rescue it. It might even watch for entertainment, wishing for Gael Regon to suffer greatly. By then, in the brink of crisis, life and death hanging in a balance, the Green Dragon might be too late to rescue. However, if Ostanka encountered a crisis, the Green Dragon would certainly support it with full force.”

Hearing this, Su Li instantly made a decision and said, ”Then Gael Regon it is! At least we have a chance of success. If you were to go after Ostanka, the danger would be too great. With Marshal Oerstein not around, there’s no one to withstand the flying beast that is the Green Dragon. If it and Ostanka besiege you together, you might even face direct death.”

Upon hearing that, Hilude also firmly made up her mind and said, ”Then I will prepare to lead the Hesse Guard Knights to charge at Gael Regon in the southern part of the city, making sure to attempt to slay it here.”

The Hesse Guard Knights, as Su Li’s elite personal soldiers, are the only Knight Order that did not follow Marshal Oerstein in attacking. Their combat power is superb, and they are well-equipped, although they have also lost 21 men, leaving 82 remaining.

It can be said they are the most formidable military force in the territory as of now, and among them are still 3 Champion-level Knights, and 13 wearing Vibranium Rune Armor, many of which are newly crafted.

After all, from the battle between Hilude versus the River Giant Witch and the River Giant Warband, they truly captured a large amount of Vibranium, especially the Vibranium Staff of the River Giant leader, enough to pave the way for creating two sets of human Armor.

Su Li could only hope that this Knight Order he painstakingly built would assist Hilude in piercing through the Monster’s defenses and executing the beheading of Gael Regon.

If the Tree Demon Legion crumbled, humans might have a final glimmer of hope to ravage the Green Dragon’s den, though that hope is indeed very faint.

Even if humans achieved a huge victory in the end, with a decimated and scarred human remnant legion, penetrating the perilous forest would be an extremely dangerous undertaking.

That is the Green Dragon’s nest, with natural home ground advantage and defensive facilities.

It’s akin to a human civil war, with the scarred human legion not only reversing enemy forces but also capturing their fortified castle.

The only hope of achieving such an outcome is if the defending troops are completely demoralized, abandoning the city at the sight of the attacking army.

However, it’s unlikely that the Green Dragon’s minions would lose morale to such an extent, especially since they hold numerous advantages in the forest as their home ground. Moreover, more new legions are likely to emerge, assisting the Green Dragon in repelling invading outsiders.

Normally within the forest, they might scheme against one another and not be obedient to the Green Dragon. But when facing outsiders entering the forest, they share a unanimous venom.
