Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Anyone with a clear head would know how to choose between the two paths that Su Li had laid out.

The harsh environment of the Badlands had forged the resilient character of the nomads, who would desperately seize every opportunity to survive tenaciously.

Harrui had no intention of seeking death. After hearing Su Li's words, he immediately struggled to get up, knelt before Su Li, and said, "Respected Lord, I am willing to serve you, using the battle axe in my hand to kill all enemies who oppose you, be they bandits, beastmen, goblins, or monsters."

Su Li nodded with satisfaction. He had the knight beside him untie Harrui, and then carefully sized him up. His long years of forging had made his arms muscular, and the bulging veins showed that he had extraordinary arm strength.

Beneath his fierce eyes, he didn't have much of a beard, clearly indicating that he was a young man. Daring to take up a battle axe to fight great-horned beasts was indeed a case of a young calf not fearing tigers.

Subsequently, Su Li had Schwartz take him away, planning to arrange for him to enter the castle and start his training from the stables, blacksmith shop, and other places.

From now on, he would be a knight attendant directly under the jurisdiction of Hilde, the high-level chief steward, responsible for helping Su Li clean the stables, trim the horses' hooves, and in his spare time, help Borros Dragonhammer forge some tools needed by the serfs on the farm.

However, this matter did not seem very urgent at the moment.

More than three hundred farming tools were found in this farm, most of which were made by Harrui before, basically enough to meet the current farming needs of the territory.

In addition to these farming tools, the soldiers also found four warhorses, twenty cattle and sheep, and three warehouses full of grain. A storage room for storing grain could hold at least twenty to thirty thousand catties of food. This was very much in line with the consistent style of the Badlands nomads, who usually only stored food for a year and a half, and the bolder ones even only stored it for a year and a month, selling the rest to merchants for profit.

This allowed Su Li to find more than 110 gold coins in their treasury. Assuming that a farmer's annual income was one gold coin, the fact that this farm could save so much money meant that they had been operating here for as long as two to three years.

Su Li handed the gold coins to Avril, asking her to lead two teams of armed attendants to send these slaves back to the territory, and then have Fandal personally bring a batch of slaves over to continue operating this farm.

Because the greatest wealth in this farm was still the farmland they had cultivated.

After questioning, Su Li learned that their sixty-odd people had cultivated a total of more than 1,000 mu of farmland, with each person taking care of ten mu of land, and mainly planting spring wheat, which would be harvested in less than a month.

This would undoubtedly greatly alleviate the territory's grain supply pressure.

Hilde even looked at Su Li with longing in her eyes and said, "Lord, with this batch of grain, we can buy another batch of slaves. If we add this trophy income, we already have over a thousand gold coins, right? We can buy five more elite knights, or two to three hundred serfs."

Su Li couldn't help but nod. The oppressive feeling from the green dragon in the forest had been weighing on his mind. He didn't want to back down and planned to fight this green dragon head-on, so he had to increase his strength.

And in this underdeveloped land of the Border Prince Territory, the best way for him to grow stronger was undoubtedly only one: accumulate grain and train soldiers!

There were no vast fertile fields here yet, so it was not suitable to form a large-scale army. Training an elite force to increase combat effectiveness while reducing the pressure on food was the best choice.

As for training soldiers, adding new recruits was not urgent. He didn't have any good connections, but he had a good way to provide better equipment and armor for the soldiers.

So Su Li said to Knight Orstein and Hilde respectively, "Now that we have deployed our troops, we can't just fight one battle and easily return. Let the troops quickly assemble, and we will divide our forces into two groups."

"Hilde, you and the four knights, Aemilia, Schwartz, and Stern, will form a treasure hunting team, bring our family's banner, go to the highest peak of the Grey Mountains, and plant our banner at the highest point of the Grey Mountains! I believe your trip will be very meaningful and you will be able to reap a lot of rewards."

"My commander, you will lead the main force and follow me to the Gold Ke Mine."

In the past half month, in addition to training soldiers, the most important thing for Knight Orstein was to complete the task assigned to him by Su Li, which was to explore the Grey Mountains.

This task was actually very normal. As the territory was chosen in the Black Forest Foothills, the army naturally had to patrol and investigate the surrounding terrain and monster distribution.

According to the geographical situation of Black Forest Territory, if there really were monster forces that could threaten the safety of the territory, then their most likely locations would be either the Blood Pine Forest or the northern Grey Mountains.

The fact that there were forest bandits in the Blood Pine Forest was already well known throughout the entire territory, so the territory's army naturally had to investigate the situation in the Grey Mountains.

In the past half month, the patrolling knights, leading their teams, had found the hidden monster lair inside the Gold Ke Mine. Inside this mine, there was a large-scale kobold tribe.

According to the knights' investigation, there were probably at least 300 to 500 kobolds inside, and they also had a strong kobold leader.

The kobolds' combat power was relatively average, about the same as that of the inferior horned beasts, and they were at the lowest level in the beast group. Therefore, kobolds often fought each other in order to seize a little bit of meager scraps, they would also swallow wriggling maggots and insects, suck the marrow from bones, or eat the remains of their dead relatives in conflicts.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Only those scantily clad human serfs and bandits would fear the bites of these monsters. A well-trained armored attendant could still be at ease under the siege of two or three kobolds, and it would not be considered a military merit to kill a few kobolds in a battle.

Knight Orstein didn't care about dealing with this kobold tribe. After hearing Su Li's order, he only felt a little疑虑 about the existence of these kobolds.

"Lord, it is generally difficult for monsters like kobolds to form a large scale. Their combat power is weak, and they are likely to be eaten by some powerful monsters passing by in the wild. If there is such a considerable tribe, it is likely that they have joined a powerful monster and become the other party's dependents."

Saying that, he frowned slightly, looked at Su Li, and asked, "According to the kobolds' characteristics of worshiping power and violence, they most often join some giants. Such a large kobold tribe is active in the Black Forest Foothills, is there a giant here?"
