Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1149: Chapter 179: Sun Goddess Church Holy Land · Blazing Sun Sanctuary and the Generous Female Knights’ Tradition (Part 4)

If a war really breaks out involving Night Wanderer Corpse and other non-human factions, Su Li wouldn’t even need to deploy much of the secular army; the Church Knight Order would handle it for him!

He feels that once the territory has grown stronger, next year the size of these three knight orders could effortlessly exceed 2000 people!

Along with the elite troops from Hesse Territory, it would be easy to muster 5000 elite infantry and cavalry.

With 5000 elite infantry and cavalry units, honestly, as long as the opponent isn’t a Legendary-level force, a single main battle could basically break the enemy’s army, leaving the rest to be easily finished off.

Take, for example, Green Dragon Aeliria’s army. Despite its large size with tens of thousands of monsters, only those 1000-some Horned Horse Beasts, hundreds of Human-Skinned Wolves, and some Giant and Ogre mercenaries could serve as the main force and elite units. Threatening units wouldn’t exceed 3000; the rest are just cannon fodder, like Gnolls, Kobolds, Goblins, goblins, and Tree Demons.

When the wind is at their backs, they might cheer and bolster their ranks, but facing knights’ earth-shattering charge, they’d collapse instantly.

Even after defeating the monster main force, relying on the knights’ might and the Sun Flame Horse Armor’s area damage would break them down.

So Su Li turned to Hilude and said, ”This Fiery Sun Temple we built with immense resources should be properly utilized. Cultivate more elites and followers for us, attract more immigrants from the northern part of the Empire.”

Hilude nodded heavily, saying, ”No problem, Lord. We are already operating this temple at full capacity to train followers from our territory; the militia numbers are increasing day by day under the temple’s blessing.”

”You know for any true follower of the Sun Goddess, military training is as enjoyable as prayer, and the clash of weapons and command is akin to a divine choir.”

”Additionally, the temple also houses a library and lecture halls where priests lead debates on war tactics. Any citizen is welcome to listen and speak.”

”The ceremonies here are very distinctive, if you, Lord, are interested, you could come frequently.”

”Hmm? What do you mean? Are there special ceremonies?” Su Li asked curiously, knowing Hilude wouldn’t speak without reason.

Hilude looked up at Su Li, softly explaining in his ear, ”Violet’s lecture halls are usually adorned with ribbons, depicting the Goddess, related heroes of the classical era, and shield maidens. They often carry classical era weapons, with only a strip of white cloth wrapped around the waist as clothing.”

”Many citizens of the Empire consider this morally objectionable, nearly Slaanesh-like. But indeed, on rest days, there are nuns wearing only a waist cloth who come to lecture, while devoted followers meditate, ponder challenges, or pray to Violet for inspiration.”

Only wrapped in a strip of white cloth at the waist?

Violet’s female knights?!

Su Li’s eyes instantly lit up, saying, ”Interested, interested, more lectures are good!”

Doesn’t this mean the female knights would also generously show their bodies with devotion?

If they only have a strip of white cloth wrapped, that would be quite a sight.

The knights’ upright posture and slender beautiful legs could be seen clearly.

However, Su Li had to set this aside for now; even if he were to look, it’s not the time yet.

Currently, his work must focus on the Spring Ceremony of All Things. With the territory having gained so many knights and troops, while enhancing combat power, the demand for food has significantly increased.

He must ensure the perfection and smooth execution of this Spring Ceremony, thereby guaranteeing a bountiful harvest for the coming year.
