Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 321: Chapter 149: Guardian Otter: Kappa and Laurel Gemstone

The scenery of the Gem Pool beneath the Rainbow Falls is truly beautiful, with a touch of fantasy and tranquility.

It is hidden between the dense vegetation and garden, evoking a sense of a hidden sanctuary and a magical dreamland for women.

This place is like the ideal Gem Pool a girl dreams of obtaining, creating a stark contrast with the towering forest fortress outside.

After half of the buildings at Limborg Farm were destroyed by an earthquake, Dwarf Engineers rebuilt it, turning Limborg Farm directly into a large stone castle.

The primary reason for the extensive reconstruction of the territory was to station troops here. It was not only to prepare for the Green Dragon War but also to defend against the Beastman threats in these hills.

This world’s style has always been such that amidst vast fertile lands, between steep foothills and key mountain passes, stand the castles of the Knights.

The fertile land and rich resources at the foot of the Hesse mountains support thousands of people in the Hesse Territory, while also nourishing countless wild monsters and Raider Warbands.

Particularly in the undulating terrains and dense forests of the Green Leaf Hills, Beastmen, after consuming enough blood food under the blood moon, can breed into large groups with a month-long continuous rainfall.

In the more than half a year since Su Li came to the Hesse Territory, Limborg Farm and the fields below have been besieged six or seven times by monsters. As a human stronghold in the Green Leaf Hills, it is too easily surrounded by Beastman Roar Beast Groups from various directions nearby.

Su Li has to deploy troops each time to provide support to clear out the Beastmen, Green Skins, and wolves.

Deploying troops is one thing; after all, Su Li only needs to say the word. But this intelligence taking up an important slot in Su Li’s Daily Intelligence is something he cannot tolerate. It’s like wasting his opportunities.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, he plans to directly expand the Limborg Farm into a medium-sized [Iron Oak Castle], to station a squadron of knights and soldiers.

Many Elite Knights of the Flame Sun Knight Order serve as stationed knights alone during their travels, aiding a village or farm in fending off invading Beastman Beast Herds.

If commanded properly, this squadron can completely decimate a Roaring Beast Group.

After all, the battle Su Li commanded back then employed just over a squadron of men.

Stationing troops here is also to guard this Holy Land, preventing thieves, burglars, and smugglers from entering and stealing the territory’s wealth.

As for defending against the Green Dragon Legion, that’s nothing these guards can handle, solely reliant on Su Li’s intelligence.

During Su Li’s rest days, the war affairs between the territory and the Green Dragon Legion have not ceased, but rather showed signs of intensifying.

The Green Dragon, although wary and suspicious of Hesse Territory’s strength, postponed the initiation of war. But its probing of the territory has reached an almost frenzied level, to the point where even with the help of Su Li’s Daily Intelligence System, it’s becoming overwhelming.

To say it splits into three million paths, each advancing is an exaggeration.

But it has indeed sent dozens of forces, regardless of the soldiers’ lives, with some groups numbering in the hundreds and others with only a few dozen Tree Demons, stealthily infiltrating the Hesse Territory’s various foothills and forests, lurking in the shadows to monitor Hesse Territory’s every move, gathering all sorts of intelligence.

Contrary to Su Li’s expectations, they are not afraid to engage with the Hesse Territory army. The tyrannical Green Dragon seems intent on using the Tree Demons to deplete Hesse Territory’s strength.

The Knight Legion of Hesse Territory is tired of responding, rushing about daily, and although each battle sees dozens or even hundreds of Tree Demons cut to pieces, the largest battle even blocked a legion of over a thousand Tree Demons on a plains foothill, cutting them all into pieces.

However, in each battle, the knights suffer some casualties, and this piecemeal engagement accumulates a significant toll on the Black Forest army.

Su Li even suspects if the Green Dragon has abandoned plans for a quick victory, aiming to drag things out for a prolonged war. With the vast Blood Pine Forest as a base, waging a war of attrition, Hesse Territory truly cannot be certain of victory.

But fortunately, its forest territory is like a prairie, with one area emptied, a large number of monsters will swarm in, and Su Li’s farming has been quite effective.

The current Rainbow Falls and Gem Pool are the important results of farming and development.

Facing Su Li’s curious inquiry, Vandar explained in detail: ”This Gem Pool is the companion Holy Land of the Essence Soul of Rainbow Falls, a gathering place for many Essence Souls. To talk about this Gem Pool, we must first speak of the Rainbow Falls.”

”You know, after passing the Pyramid Stone Monument fragments, the spring water of the Rainbow Falls will carry Magic Power, and the followers of the Artisan God Val use this spring water to forge powerful Cold-Forged Metal. This is one of the necessary metals for crafting Divine Chosen Level weapons.”

”And after this spring water gathered here, first came the Guardian Otter Kappa of the Water Nymph, possessing the ability to control water flow and Water Elements. It built a nest here, diverting the flow, gathering into a beautifully powerful Magic Waterfall Pool.”

”It possesses a large physique and outstanding intelligence, able to drive away monsters like venomous snakes, spiders, swamp goblins, and River Giants that would make the river water turn foul and stinky.”
