Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

The enormous pressure on him was Su Li’s powerful motivation. He immediately commanded, ”No matter what, we must win this battle swiftly and decisively. We cannot afford major losses again.”

Hilude observed the state of the defensive fortifications. The camp appeared bleak and desolate in the night, yet it was an excellent site for an ambush.

Hilude then pointed above the breach in the city wall and asked, ”Lord, what do you think of placing the Petrifying Gaze statues here?”

There are exactly four Petrifying Gaze traps in the territory. When the monsters notice the statues’ eyes, they will be slowed by petrification.

These two breaches are the inevitable paths for the monster legion to attack the camp. If the petrifying statues are placed here, it means a large number of monsters will be petrified as they advance.

Moreover, they cannot climb up the wall to smash these statues.

Su Li stroked the black stubble that had just sprouted on his chin, pondering for a moment. Why does this scene feel strangely familiar with just a thought?

Isn’t this the rhythm of a tower defense? Guardian Goddess?

Freya said, ”I think it’s a good idea. We’ve actually buried six Wells of Souls below the breach. As long as the monsters pass through this breach, the witchcraft traps within a hundred meters will be triggered, quickly draining their life value and weakening their courage and willpower.”

At this time, if the firearms soldiers launched a volley against them, congested here in a weakened state, they would suffer heavy losses instantly. A single volley could reduce their numbers by hundreds!

A volley reducing their numbers by hundreds?

This is an extremely horrific number.

Under normal circumstances, not even bombardment would have such a terrifying lethality.

However, enemies caught in the trap have already become weak, their defenses vulnerable. Even slight damage at this moment could become fatal.

If a volley could kill hundreds of them, several rounds could break these monsters.

Su Li concernedly inquired, ”Do we have any witchcraft items that can make the monsters stop here? We aim not only to win this battle but also to inflict maximum damage on the monster legion, striving for their total annihilation.”

Rong’en Priest, supervising another breach, noticed the situation here. He immediately came over, and upon hearing Su Li’s inquiry, he proactively responded, ”There is indeed an inconspicuous item that might achieve this effect.”

He waved to a knight from the Church, who immediately brought along the Armed Attendants to pile up a heap of broken pieces before Su Li.

Su Li raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, ”What is this?”

”Goblin smoke bombs. You’ve seen their effect. They produce pungent smoke that disturbs the enemies’ vision and delays their speed. In this battle, we captured more than 300 of them.”

”Although their effect in the hands of goblins is negligible due to the vast battlefield, where hurling them has minimal effect on rampaging knights, concentrating them, especially in narrow terrains, under the vast quantity’s boost, will produce a very impressive effect.”

”The pungent, eye-watering smoke will make the monsters unable to open their eyes or find their direction.”

Then Rong’en carefully took out a scroll made of dark yellow parchment from his arms and said, ”This is one of the most powerful magic items we captured in this battle. It’s a Heaven Magic - Manan’s Vanguard, crafted by a Giant Dragon or High Elf Mage.”

”Upon use, a wizard can summon a tidal wave to purge his enemies.”

Manan’s Vanguard looks somewhat like Water Magic, but indeed belongs to the Heaven Mage’s domain.

Heaven Magic, characterized by the blue Wind of Magic, is said to be a manifestation of the Power of Chaos to inspire and other elusive things.

This Wind of Heaven Magic is built upon knowledge of unknown things and manipulation of the sky. It’s also known as Astrology, cast by Heaven Mages to prophesy the future and manipulate destiny.

Therefore, Su Li’s Daily Intelligence ability hasn’t surprised or terrified others, for prophets, Heaven Mages, wizards in this world all have some foresight abilities.

Returning to Heaven Magic, it branches into three aspects: prophecy, weather control, and most dangerously, manipulating the future through curses.

In the Celestial Academy heavily imbued with the Wind of Heaven, astrologers created instruments for precise calculation and measurement, such as astrolabes. Yet, they are not only used to foresee the future but also provide navigation for seafaring.

Astronomers of the Celestial Academy are also very accomplished meteorologists. Through the application of this science, they can predict weather conditions, hence they manufacture instruments like incredibly precise barometers, corona meters, hygrometers, anemometers, etc.

Astrologers, through the blue luminous mist of Wind of Heaven, observe celestial bodies, documenting various images and movements seen where the Wind of Heaven and astrology intersect and constellations meet in the skies.

Thus, after activation, Manan’s Vanguard will sweep the entire battlefield in a meteorological fashion.

Undoubtedly, the ditches outside the camp and the Brionne River will greatly enhance the capability of this spell.

Magic in this world is indeed powerful. A single magic scroll can easily kill dozens of cruel monsters, severely injuring even powerful Heavy Armored Knights and Centaur warriors, struggling and tumbling in the giant waves.

If traps and magic are perfectly combined, Su Li feels that wiping out 70% to even 90% of the monsters in one battle is not out of reach.

Su Li decisively said, ”Alright, let’s arrange it this way. Use various traps and bombs to trap the monsters in this area, then use magic to inflict maximum damage.”

If all conditions are perfect, with the monsters confined within the magic’s range, this magic scroll might create a miracle, killing more than 200 monsters.
