Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Skaros's terror was unknown to Su Li.

He was now personally leading all the knightly legions in their most ferocious charge, riding Deathclaw as he flew unbridled through the air.

Two Chosen-level knights, their bodies as massive as divine generals, guarded him from behind, while beneath him was an elite army in tight formation, their armor gleaming, lances a forest of steel.

He felt an unparalleled surge of heroism within his chest, as if he held the very heavens and earth in his grasp.

It was as if he were leading celestial soldiers to capture a monkey—no, a monster—like a divine general.

In this situation, who could withstand the might of his forces?

Anyone who dared to charge towards his army would be seeking their own doom!

Therefore, he directly retrieved his most powerful treasure: the Windwing Charm.

This treasure was one of his few sacred artifacts and a crucial pillar of his military strength.

The Windwing Charm, the Water-Repelling Pearl, and the Radiance of the Sun—these three magical treasures now had only the Windwing Charm left to be used in this battle.

And tonight was the perfect opportunity for it to unleash its effect!

The knights launched an ambush from behind the monsters, the direction was so perfect. If the monsters turned to face them, they would immediately be forced to confront this sacred gale. The more they resisted and tried to face the knights' onslaught, the fiercer the gale would become, blowing them away dozens of meters, tumbling through the air like fallen leaves before crashing heavily to the ground.

If they didn't turn to face the attack, or if they bowed their heads before the gale, they would be offering their necks for slaughter. The knights' charge would be unstoppable, allowing them to slaughter the monsters without restraint.

More importantly, this gale blowing from behind would completely cut off their retreat!

Su Li gripped the Windwing Charm, gritted his teeth, and decided to gamble everything!

He bet that with the Windwing Charm's boost, he could accomplish a feat impossible for ordinary people: to annihilate an army of a thousand monsters!

The transcendent world should always be different from the mortal world, right?

As long as he could ensure the utter destruction of this force, even if the Windwing Charm had a one-month cooldown, the delay in the green dragon's offensive would be enough to last until the charm was ready again.

He intended to use this one full exertion of the Windwing Charm to buy his territory more than a month of time!

So, Su Li took a deep breath, and after the knights spurred their horses and reached the edge of the battlefield, he directly raised the Windwing Charm in his hand and roared, 'Army! Hear my command! For glory! For victory! Charge!'

The sound of earth-shattering cheers echoed across the battlefield: 'For glory!'

'May the Goddess protect us so we die well!'

'Victory!'

At the same time, a sacred gale violently swept up from behind all the knights, further enhancing the golden knights' momentum.

Orstein the knight directly activated the Radiance of the Sun, and the golden shield became even more radiant, the faces of the shields as brilliant as golden mirrors illuminating the entire night sky.

Unlike the Windwing Charm, the Radiance of the Sun could be reactivated after each battle by returning it to the Goddess's monastery for prayer.

Under the effect of this shield, countless shields of the knights shone with golden light, hundreds of brilliant rays illuminating the night as bright as day!

This scene was terrifying in the eyes of the monsters. Any monster that turned its head was instantly terrified, they had never seen such a brilliant sight. All they could see was golden light and a whirlwind of flying sand and stones, as if the power of heaven and earth had descended, eclipsing the sun and moon, the world a blur of gold and haze.

This was simply impossible for mortals to resist. Several centaurs tried to roar and meet this terrifying power of heaven and earth.

But the golden light instantly blinded their eyes, and the gale blew them away in an instant, like a giant battering ram, directly smashing into their weak bodies, sending them flying dozens of meters before crashing heavily into the city walls.

Immediately afterward, countless golden knights charged out from the whirlwind of flying sand and stones, under the protection of banners, each of them appearing so tall, their massive bodies four to five meters high, like the divine generals of the Radiant Goddess descending from the divine kingdom into the mortal world amidst storms and golden light, launching the most deadly charge against the monsters. They were like golden tides, surging and turbulent, unstoppable under the boost of the gale.

The monsters seemed so small in the face of this sacred power, their roars and howls completely drowned out by the gale, all resistance futile before the golden light.

The knights were like golden blades, swiftly and fiercely advancing forward, lances and sword edges flashing in the golden light, each swing taking a monster's life.

Under the might of heaven and earth, the monsters could not turn around and could only offer their necks for slaughter.

The knights were simply engaging in indiscriminate slaughter around the battlefield, and soon, beneath the city walls, the monsters' corpses piled up like mountains, and scarlet blood stained the entire earth, the land after the great wave turning into a sea of blood.

The reason the monsters were still struggling to hold on was entirely due to their inner arrogance and barbarity. Their foolish minds made them habitually believe that they should be able to ravage humans and could not simply collapse and flee without even drawing their weapons.

Powerful centaur warriors would never flee at the sight of the enemy! — Until a earth-shattering blow descended from the sky.

The Chosen-level knight's giant warhammer illuminated the haze between heaven and earth, the golden warhammer descending from the sky, the chilling edge instantly causing the earth to shatter, more than twenty centaurs directly smashed into a pile of minced meat by this warhammer, then the giant warhammer slammed heavily on the ground, a scene of total destruction, the earth caving in, tearing, a large amount of the sea of blood around it splashing up with lightning.

This strike shook the earth and the mountains, causing dozens of monsters around to watch in horror, their breathing almost stopping.

If such a terrible divine spell were to fall two or three times, it could wipe out an entire warband of 60 centaurs!

One divine spell attack caused the morale of the entire centaur warband to fluctuate violently.

The general's inherent [Cause Fear] and [Terrify the Enemy] effects began to trigger. If this centaur warband were attacked a few more times, their morale would directly collapse, and the fear from the magic would cause them to tremble all over until they were exhausted, fleeing in all directions at all costs.

Unless they could be sure that this earth-shattering attack would only happen once and would not fall again in a short time.

But obviously Violet's Chosen knights would not let go of such an excellent opportunity.

Two powerful Chosen knights simultaneously launched a swift attack, especially Hilde, who also possessed the even more powerful [Enemy-Terrifying Divine Wrath] trait, which was her Chosen-level divine spell that could directly unlock sacred-level fear. Anyone who attacked her or was attacked by her would inevitably be dominated by fear.

So, when the monsters were horrified by the giant warhammer and lost their minds, Hilde and Orstein launched an attack with an almost reckless, frenzied rhythm.

The attack rampage and killing efficiency they displayed at this moment was even more terrifying than the Khorne Chosen demons. Under full attack, in a short while, they smashed more than 70 centaurs, and the courage of the two warbands directly collapsed under this earth-shattering and terrifying offensive, scattering and fleeing.

But the gale meant they had no way to retreat and could only continue forward.

But ahead were the magical traps and petrification mechanisms that the humans had already set up.

They were in a dilemma, already trapped in a desperate situation.

The last straw that broke their psychological defenses was Skaros's escape.

This huge Chosen-level monster, after witnessing the earth-shattering blow of the golden warhammer, completely lost its courage. Even with its powerful steel body, it did not dare to face such terrifying two Chosen knights, and the legendary mage who might exist behind them.

If the legendary mage cast a weakening spell on it, and then two Chosen knights besieged it, it could be said that it would surely die.

So, when the gale and golden light approached, it tucked its tail between its legs and flapped its huge wings, fleeing the battlefield under the blood moon.

Because the rear was full of gales and flying sand and stones, it had no way to resist the sacred power, so it could only continue to fly forward, bypassing this terrible gale and golden light that was like a sky curtain.

But! This was tantamount to letting all the centaurs who were struggling to hold on witness their commander tucking his tail between his legs and flapping his huge wings as he fled the battlefield in front of everyone!

His abandonment of the army in full view of everyone directly led to the collapse of the entire centaur army's morale.

They no longer had the courage to resist, only thinking about how to escape, to leave this terrible battlefield of slaughter.

The collapse of the centaurs quickly led to the human knights' revelry.

The battlefield was filled with earth-shattering cheers, the knights galloping everywhere, chasing after these monsters who were too frightened to look back.

In this battle, the humans ushered in an unparalleled glorious victory. At the cost of only less than a hundred casualties, they crushed the green dragon's most powerful monster cavalry in one fell swoop.

The casualty ratio was close to 1:20!

This ambush was a great victory for the humans. It was both a victory of strategy and a perfect application of the powerful abilities of various sacred relics and witchcraft props.

After this battle, not only would the green dragon be horrified by the incredible strength of the humans.

At the same time, this legendary battle would quickly spread throughout the empire, and Su Li would rise to fame, becoming a legendary general and Chosen knight of the empire.

Throughout history, both ancient and modern, any general who could achieve a victory ratio of 1:20 would be directly deified, becoming a legendary general. His achievements and classic battles would be widely known. Even after a thousand years, historians, novelists, bards, and religious priests would enthusiastically promote this legendary battle.

If the green dragon was the cunning Cao Cao, then this battle was Su Li's Zhou Yu at the Battle of Red Cliffs.

From then on, Su Li would be the young and perfect knight, praised and admired by countless knights of the Radiant Goddess Church. After a thousand years, the priests of the Radiant Goddess Church would also promote the perfect and legendary achievements of this young knight.

It could even be said that he had already laid the foundation for his Chosen Knight status.

As long as he continued to fight with his troops, relying on various small victories, the super divine grace constantly showered by the Radiant Goddess would be enough to forcefully push his strength to the Chosen realm.

Although the future was promising, Su Li's current state was extremely weak.

He was so weak that he couldn't sit up straight and lay on Deathclaw's back.

The effect of the Windwing Charm was powerful, but it was really better than a succubus at emptying Su Li's body. Su Li was covered in cold sweat, unable to remember how long he had been holding it up. All he knew was that sweat had long since soaked his eyelids, and through the blurred vision, he could still see the knights fiercely chasing and killing below, the sound of clashing gold and iron constantly ringing.

As long as the battle didn't stop for a moment, he couldn't put his arm down for a moment, even if he couldn't feel the existence of his arm anymore.

At this moment, he really believed that a person's mental will was enough to support humans to lurk motionless in the raging flames!

For the territory, for the countless people who placed their earnest hopes on him, he had to grit his teeth and persevere to the end.

Finally, when Su Li felt that his whole body was floating, his brain was ethereal and chaotic, the whole world was shaking, as if his soul and body were about to separate.

On the fiercely fought battlefield below, the noise gradually subsided, replaced by cheers that spread across the mountains!

Deathclaw landed in the middle of countless cheering soldiers. When the soldiers saw their lord, they immediately raised their weapons and surrounded him, warmly cheering and applauding their outstanding leader.

Hilde immediately released her Chosen state, came to Deathclaw's side, helped Su Li sit up, with a faint smile on her face, and said heroically, 'Lord, we won! Are you okay?'

Su Li leaned weakly in her arms and murmured, 'Hilde, I've lost a lot this time. I feel like I won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half months.'

The emptiness in his body made him feel that his whole person's energy and vitality were greatly damaged.

Could it be that he, like Zhou Yu, would amaze the world with one battle, and then suffer a great loss of vitality and die young?

Hilde gently kissed his cheek and said with a smile, 'Lord, we have won a great victory. I'm afraid the green dragon army will never dare to attack rashly again until they have clearly investigated our strength.'

'You can rest assured during this time. Autumn is coming, and the pods of the Blessed Wisteria should also be ripe. You can eat as much as you want, and use them as fruit with every meal every day. It will definitely quickly replenish your body's vitality.'

Hearing Hilde say this, Su Li immediately felt much relieved.

That's right!

He had a large number of extraordinary spiritual treasures, and time was his most powerful weapon.

Dying young would never happen to him.

The annihilation of the centaur cavalry in this battle was of unparalleled significance.

Not only could it delay the green dragon's intention to attack, buying the territory at least a month of development time.

More importantly, the momentum of attack and defense would shift after this battle!

The green dragon might still have a large number of monster minions, but most of them were bloated infantry or cannon fodder.

As long as his cavalry legion launched decisive attacks, it would definitely be able to constantly crush its large number of dependents.

As the enemy wanes and we wax, one day, the strength of Black Forest Territory would even surpass this monster army.

The human forces in the foothills would overwhelm the monster forces on the west side of the forest!

Subsequently, Su Li completely relaxed and, amidst the cheers of soldiers across the mountains and plains, and their escort, he enjoyed their enthusiastic support and cheers before returning to the camp on Deathclaw to recuperate.

At this moment, the blazing sun rose, its light shining down from the east, dispelling the haze over the entire battlefield. The flood caused by the Wrath of Mannan also gradually receded from the canals, revealing a battlefield littered with corpses.

The great battle lasted a day and two nights, with tens of thousands of corpses scattered across the east of the camp, the dead piled upon each other, stretching for more than ten miles.

And having slaughtered so many monsters, humanity's gains were unparalleled.

Countless new recruits gained rich and outstanding battlefield experience, becoming seasoned veterans.

More importantly, in this intense battlefield of life and death, a large number of humans, under the blessing of divine grace, successfully achieved breakthroughs.

At noon, when Su Li was barely able to sit up with a pillow behind his back, Hilde strode into the room. This usually calm and composed knight couldn't help but have a smile on her face.

Seeing Su Li's condition improve, her smile became even brighter. She immediately leaned over the bed, held Su Li's right hand, and asked with concern, "Lord, are you feeling better?"

Su Li slowly nodded and said, "Although I'm still a bit dizzy, I no longer have that needle-pricking sensation all over my body."

"How is the army? From your expression, I seem to see good news."

Hilde immediately nodded heavily, held Su Li's right hand, placed it in front of her chest, and said with an excited smile, "Lord, in this day and two nights of fierce fighting, we slaughtered thousands upon thousands of monsters, and the Sun Goddess's divine grace was exceptionally generous."

"Under the light of the sun, as of noon, we have had 68 armed servants successfully awaken extraordinary bloodlines and advance to become trainee knights."

"In addition, 40 trainee knights have awakened and become formal knights."

"And most crucially, a full 101 formal knights have awakened and become elite knights!"

Hearing this good news, Su Li immediately felt his whole body burst with energy, as if a large amount of vitality was continuously湧出 from his heart.

He couldn't help but laugh excitedly, "Good, good, good!"

A full 141 knights were blessed by the Sun Goddess and promoted after smashing countless monsters.

In fact, the number of those blessed may be doubled. Because some people must have achieved small breakthroughs within their ranks.

That is to say, it is estimated that one-third of the knights in this battle, after killing countless monsters and gaining a lot of glory and contribution, felt the generosity of the Sun Goddess.

This number may be several times higher than usual battles.

In an intense battle, it would be a remarkable harvest if twenty or thirty knights could feel the divine grace of the Sun Goddess.

But in this battle, the Black Forest Territory's army fought so brilliantly, adding glory to the Sun Goddess's banners. Especially the second battle, which can already be regarded as a popular great victory.

Therefore, the Sun Goddess blessed the territory's army with several times the generosity.

It's just that this goddess, as always, favors knights, and is much weaker in her care for armed servants and freemen.

The armed servants and freemen regiments, which are several times larger than the knights, received only about half the number of divine graces as the knights.

While Su Li was feeling emotional, Hilde held his hand and continued, "But! Lord, the good news doesn't stop there!"
