Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 314: Chapter 147: Enormous Postwar Gains

Gaining nearly a whole squadron of elite knights isn’t the best news?

Su Li was instantly overjoyed, using all his strength to grip Hilude’s hands tightly, asking, ”What other good news is more important than this?”

Hilude smiled lightly and said, ”Champion-level soldiers; in this battle, three elite knights achieved breakthroughs.”

”They are Risky Lance Knight Aymanrique,”

”Handsome Gilles,”

”Storm Blade Roderick Le Anglong,”

”They all fought with extremely courageous and honorable battles, bathed in divine grace, earning their promotion.”

”Extremely courageous display and honorable battle?” Su Li asked with a smile, ”What heroic feats did they accomplish, tell me about them.”

Hilude sat by the bedside, letting Su Li’s right hand down so he could do what he loved most, stroking the cool beauty of his leg. Then she leaned forward to gently massage Su Li’s sore muscles, patiently introducing the details.

”Risky Lance Knight Aymanrique is a devout follower of Yurik. With the strength of an elite knight, he charged on horseback across the battlefield, slaying a total of six giants, each time piercing their hearts with his powerful lance. Guided by Yurik’s fury and will for slaughter, he fearlessly charged towards a massive giant on the battlefield, heroically alone, slaying a massive forest giant after more than two hours of fierce battle.”

”Handsome Gilles and Storm Blade Roderick are both followers of the Sun Goddess. Although Handsome Gilles looks delicate and even more beautiful than a woman, he is a very ruthless and decisive strong Knight Commander. His squad of knights both admire and fear him. He led 12 elite knights, courageously charging into thousands of enemy deserters, killing over a hundred human-skinned wolves, three gnoll chiefs, and capturing more than fifty ogre prisoners serving the green dragon, perfectly demonstrating the tactical brilliance of the Sun Goddess.”

”Storm Blade Roderick is a powerful Walking Knight who abandoned the lance, carrying a massive two-handed heavy sword and shield, standing on the most dangerous battlefield. Alone, he defeated a powerful two-legged flying dragon and single-handedly slew over a hundred monsters and three forest giants. The monsters’ poisonous arrows and spear blades could not weaken him, with brilliant arcs of lightning enveloping him, creating an impregnable storm zone on the battlefield, with a heap of over thirty or forty fallen harpies by his hand forming a mountain of corpses.”

Su Li listened, his heart racing with excitement and longing.

The might of knights and such unparalleled battles truly make one’s blood boil, wishing to wield a lance and sword like them to wreak havoc on the battlefield.

Humans always admire the strong, especially those whose combat skills are astonishing, with each strike igniting inner excitement and admiration.

To slay over a hundred enemies in a single battle, anyone like that is a champion admired and revered by any army.

No doubt about it, under Su Li’s command, truly remarkable individuals have emerged.

This is highly unusual!

What does it mean to be a champion-level knight? At the very least, they must bravely lead troops, causing enemies to flee right and left, to be called a champion, right?

In the case of the family stronghold Bauhinia Castle, it aligns with such situations. Although the family has around two to three thousand elite knights, there are only one or two champion-level Knight Commanders. Apart from the well-known champion-level leader of the Red Night Knight Order, among the other elite Knight Commanders, there may only be one or two champion knights. With the addition of the Divine Chosen Purple Crystal Earl, the proportion of champion-level and elite knights across the entire territory is roughly around 1:1000.

But under Su Li, the ratio has changed from picking one in a thousand directly to one in a hundred.

He has less than 500 elite knights in total, and in this battle, 3 champion knights emerged!

This ratio is already staggering, and more importantly, there were already a few champion knights in his territory before.

With some luck, he may soon form a squad of champion-level Half-Lion Griffin Knights!

So Su Li laughed and said, ”Good! Very good! At this rate, as long as we start recuperating, the military strength will not only not decrease but will quickly surpass the pre-war level.”

An important difference between the superhuman world and the mortal world war is that the combat potential of ordinary mortal soldiers is basically capped, and when an elite suffers heavy casualties, their strength is badly damaged, making it hard to recover. But after a superhuman world war, soldiers can exceed their limits, leading to certain situations where, even though the number of soldiers has decreased, the overall combat power of the army has increased.

Of course, to rebuild the army post-war naturally requires a large amount of wealth.

Su Li asked with concern, ”How are the spoils from this battle?”

”The spoils are very rewarding. These centaur beasts, as powerful monster cavalry, are not inferior in strength to our elite knights. They have rampaged through the forest for years, destroying numerous forest bandit camps, breaking through dwarf outposts one after another, and slaughtering countless wizards, beastmen, green skins, goblins, and others. Their equipment is extremely well-crafted and can be considered the strongest centaur war gang in the forest.”
