Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence
#40 - Grand blueprint of the territory
After leaving Maleburg, Su Li hurried towards his territory day and night.
Along the way, relying on the early warnings from the daily intelligence system, he avoided two raider warbands and six pioneer territories that wanted to rob him of his wealth.
Among these raiders, the pioneer lords along the way were the absolute main force.
In this land full of sin, raiding is never the original sin; weakness is.
Many pioneer lords' favorite targets are those pioneer lords on their way to their territories. This is the weakest stage for a lord, and also the fattest lamb.
Their teams are unstable, and they carry a large number of slaves, tools, and food. Successfully raiding such a team can make any pioneer territory rich overnight and greatly strengthen its power.
Su Li's team also faced this situation. The serfs in his team had no sense of belonging, and Beros Dragonhammer and Fandal Oak were unpredictable. Once a war broke out, the team was likely to lose control.
So he cautiously chose to avoid these battles. The Border Prince Territory has the characteristic of being sparsely populated. The information flow in this world is relatively slow, and he doubled his speed, marching extremely fast. Most pioneer lords only learned of his team's passage after he had already crossed their territories. By the time they gathered their knights and wanted to chase, it was too late.
Of course, this situation was not without its benefits. Under this pressure, the team's marching speed was very fast. Ten days after leaving Maleburg and more than a month after departing from Bauhinia Fortress, he finally set foot on this territory that belonged exclusively to him!
The Black Forest Foothills are vast and the soil is fertile. There are also many rivers passing through, providing abundant water resources. As long as it can be properly developed, it will surely become a land of abundance, allowing Su Li to enjoy the rest of his life without worry.
At the confluence of the Black River and the Brienne River, Su Li finally saw the stronghold left by the previous lord.
Su Li personally climbed up an earthen slope to look out into the distance, taking in the vast rivers and mountains.
The Black River and the Brienne River both flow from the gray mountains in the southeast. The Black River flows from north to south, and the Brienne River flows from east to west. The two rivers meet in the center of this vast plain in an inverted Y shape.
It can be seen that the predecessor was very magnanimous and generous. He built the stronghold in all directions of this confluence.
To the north, due to the river's impact, the terrain is higher, and there is also a relatively obvious hill, so he built the castle on the fertile high ground north of the river confluence.
On the right, the two rivers converge, forming a boundless plain, which is convenient for drawing water from the north and south. Therefore, he cultivated a piece of farmland here and also erected two water conservancy facilities. However, having just experienced burning, killing, and looting, these water conservancy facilities, windmills, and fertile fields have mostly been abandoned.
The southwest territory is the flattest and most vast, with beautiful soft hills and grasslands, offering broad prospects for development. Therefore, he set up military camps, pastures, markets, residential areas, brothels, taverns, and other facilities here, and also built a short fence and wooden stakes to protect this area along the river.
If everything goes smoothly, this city near the confluence will be the most shining pearl on the fertile land of the Black Forest Foothills. The bridge across the river in the city will be regarded as the pride of the entire city, and even add glory to the entire Border Prince Territory.
It's just a pity that this former lord was ambitious but lacked talent. His broad vision and mind as the son of an elector had already turned to ashes in the flames of war, and most of his grand plans had been abandoned.
Now that Su Li has taken over this promising land, he will build it into a rich and prosperous territory with even more magnificent aspirations and a broader mind. Fertile farmland, magnificent cities, vast pastures, everything will converge into the most beautiful pearl of these foothills!
He opened his arms, facing the rising sun in the east, opened his heart, and shouted excitedly: "Black Forest Foothills, from now on, this is our home!"
Behind him, a large number of knights in iron armor surrounded him, banners fluttering, facing the golden morning light, looking forward to the deserted stronghold with vigor. They will enter this land as conquerors and become its new masters!
Deathclaw seemed to feel the excitement of its master. It was the first time it had seen its master in such a high-spirited state, and it was greatly encouraged. It actually took off from Su Li's shoulder for the first time.
It excitedly let out a cry, spread its wings and flew higher and higher, until it soared in the azure sky.
Hilde looked up at the soaring griffin, clenched her fists excitedly, and her face was filled with smiles: "Lord, Deathclaw learned to spread its wings and fly today so coincidentally. Perhaps this is God's will, indicating that you will surely make great achievements in this land!"
After more than a month of marching, Hilde had already successfully advanced to a formal knight. Her advancement once again strengthened the belief in the hearts of all the knights that following Young Master Su Li would definitely lead to opportunities for advancement.
Everyone was full of confidence and hope for the future.
And Su Li was also excited in his heart. How could there be such a coincidence? Deathclaw had not been able to master the skills of flying for more than half a month, but on the day of arriving in the territory, it successfully soared into the sky.
In this world with gods, perhaps it really received the grace of God. Maybe, this is God's will!
Hilde also changed her address for the first time at this moment, no longer calling Su Li Young Master, but respectfully calling him Lord.
Su Li took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and ordered everyone: "Advance, we enter the territory!"
"We respect your will, Lord!" The knights responded loudly, shaking the fields.

So, everyone is looking forward to having a territory.
Even Deathclaw in the sky let out a loud cry and flew towards the stronghold ahead.
When the team arrived at the edge of the territory, Su Li was surprised to find that there were still some survivors in this deserted stronghold. Although the number was not large, they were vaguely hiding in the stronghold, watching the situation outside. It was absolutely impossible to hide it from the sharp eyes of the knights.
Frederick immediately rode his demigryph forward and shouted to the survivors inside: "The new pioneer lord, Knight Su Li of the Bauhinia family, has arrived. The people inside immediately come out to welcome the lord!"
The demigryph under him was huge and noble. He was wearing a mithril rune armor, shining with golden light. The Bauhinia family flag in his hand was flying in the wind. It was clear that he was a powerful nobleman.
The people inside did not dare to resist at all. After confirming that the person who arrived was the new pioneer lord, and not some marauding bandits or warbands, there was an uproar inside, and they all walked out of the deserted stronghold.
An old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with a thin body, walked out of the crowd with his hands raised, and shouted to Su Li: "Respected Lord, I am the civil affairs officer here. We are all survivors of the previous territory. Please do not attack us."
