Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 522: Chapter 11: Philis’ Turn of Destiny, Archibald, Your Time to Die!

To kill him under the protection of a thousand Eternal Light Knights, unless a stronger individual, who has been training longer than him, intervenes to crush all his resistance.

Isn’t Archibald fond of bullying the weak and taking advantage of the smaller?

Then let him die in the same humiliating way, at the hands of someone even stronger!

This is known as ”he who lives by the sword perishes by the sword.”

But what the territory needs most right now is time. He gritted his teeth, thinking for a long time without any ideas, only coming up with one crucial point: ”We must kill him before he returns to the Sulande Province. On his way back, though there are still over a thousand Eternal Light Knights by his side, it is his weakest moment. If he returns to the Sulande Province and gains control of the Grand Prince of Suande’s authority, it will be even more impossible to kill him.”

A sound of indifferent footsteps came from the blood-stained carpet. Aeliria, holding the staff, walked over slowly. She was in good shape, mainly because she wasn’t impulsive in risking her life, and the Jade Staff in her hand was extremely powerful, so handling three knights was still manageable for her.

She glanced calmly at the three people either kneeling or sitting, frowned slightly at their horrific wounds and blood-stained bodies, and said blandly, ”Take care of yourselves first. In your current state, staying in the territory will still make the opponent wary. But if you venture out to ambush them, they can slaughter without restraint. Those are legendary knights; any number of you going is just courting death.”

”Do we have no other way but to endure?” Su Li asked through gritted teeth.

Aeliria said blandly, ”Enduring and growing is your best option. Being reckless and impulsive will only incur greater costs. That’s all I’ll say. I’m going to sleep on your Purple Vine Tree for a while. This is my rightful reward; you won’t be stingy, will you?”

No wonder the Green Dragon was so kind to help in battle; it turns out it had its eyes on the Holy Purple Vine Tree’s trait of gathering a significant amount of the Wind of Jilun. That place is a vortex of the Power of Life, perfectly suitable for the Green Dragon to perch and sleep.

If the Green Dragon could hibernate here for half a year, the strength it would gain would be equivalent to ten years of sleep elsewhere. After all, the Dragon Race has long lives, they don’t like to train, and most of their life is spent in slumber. Having such a good place means the Green Dragon can have a better lifestyle.

Su Li wasn’t in the mood to care, just waved his hand, and said to Aeliria, ”Suit yourself.”

After she left, Hilude held Su Li’s left hand, which had a broken finger, and said, ”Lord, Aeliria currently is the calmest among all of us. I think it’s necessary to listen to her advice. Even if Archibald took Philis, we cannot act impulsively. They still have a few months before reaching the Sulande Province. We can calm down and choose the most suitable time to act, ensuring that we remain silent until we move, at which point it will be a fatal strike.”

”Your immediate task is to reassure Philis, as we can continue to endure and accumulate strength in the Hesse Territory. She, however, must go alone and far from home to a completely unfamiliar, cold place surrounded by strong enemies. Her loneliness and pressure are the greatest.”

Timing!

Yes, Su Li also took a deep breath to remind himself.

You can express anger, but not express it angrily.

In such crucial moments, one must remain composed and calm, leveraging one’s greatest strengths. Anger should not control the mind, leading to actions that hurt our friends and please our foes.

He then deeply adjusted his breathing and said, ”Hilude, you’re right. I’ll go and reassure Philis now. Even if it’s revenge, there is no need for immediate impulsiveness. My chief steward, select 60 of the most loyal and capable knights to serve as Philis’s guards.”

”We are Philis’s family and support. Even if she departs, she should have a retinue of trusted allies, so she isn’t helpless when she reaches the Sulande Province.”

”My Marshal, discuss with Lord Rong’en about the revenge plan immediately. I have always avenged my grievances on the spot and do not wish for Archibald, that rogue, to feel triumph any longer!”

Hilude and Oerstein immediately stood up, solemnly saluted, and said, ”We honor your will, Lord!”

After arranging everything, Su Li simply bandaged his wound and returned to the Holy Purple Vine Tree.

The Green Dragon had revealed its true form, lying on the huge canopy of the Holy Purple Vine Tree. Its dark green, sinister, rugged body pressing on the blossoming Purple Vine Tree vividly represented the current situation of the territory—ugly and dark as it overshadowed the vibrant territory. The Green Dragon may leave at any time, just as the pressure that Archibald brought could vanish at any moment. The territory will ultimately thrive, as the Green Dragon is no match, and neither is Archibald!

Su Li paused his steps for a moment, watching this scene, then pushed open the door to the treehouse under the Purple Vine Tree and entered the room.

Ingrid and Avril were taking care of Philis. The room still bore traces of blood being wiped away, but Ingrid, with her cool nature, had no complaints, continuing to tend to Philis with patience.

Upon seeing the blood-soaked gauze on Su Li’s hand, she became more anxious, immediately moving forward, holding his hand, and asked, ”Darling, how’s your hand? Ah? Is it that serious? Why didn’t you use any medicine?”
