Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 339: Chapter 153: Lion King Title and Red Brotherhood (Part 3)

”Then let them come and see me.” Su Li instructed, then turned to look at the banners fluttering from the army below.

Dozens or even hundreds of vermilion banners waved in the wind, everywhere showcasing the romantic legacy in Su Li’s genes.

Thousands of well-equipped elite soldiers would march under these countless vermilion banners, crushing many strong enemies and surrounding and killing innumerable monsters.

Su Li then said to Oerstein, ”My marshal, the training of the army should not only target those conventional monsters, but also train the army to adapt to super strong opponents, enabling effective evasion and damage against Divine Chosen Level beings.”

A professional army is strictly trained in terms of formation spacing. This can effectively prevent the harm from a large number of arrow rains and the attacks of giant monsters.

Therefore, even in a magic bombardment or a fierce assault by a Divine Chosen Level giant dragon, at most, it could only blow away a dozen or at most dozens of soldiers.

If soldiers can fight unflinchingly, even the most powerful monsters can be flattened by human wave tactics.

”Coincidentally, our territory is about to receive a few Divine Chosen assassins; you might use them to train soldiers on tactics against Divine Chosen monsters, accumulating more experience.”

”Divine Chosen Level assassins?” Oerstein’s eyes lit up. He knew of the intelligence regarding the upcoming assassination attempt by the Rat People, immediately asking, ”Have these Rat People already arrived in the territory?”

Su Li nodded and said, ”According to the River Elf near the Gem Pool, the Skaven Ratmen have already entered our territory. Perhaps by tomorrow’s dawn, we will have their intelligence.”

This time, the Ratmen assassins have obviously picked the wrong target. With the support of the Daily Intelligence system, and Philis holding a powerful Destiny Talisman, which allows her to foresee the deadly attacks coming the next day in dreams.

Thus, the Rat People’s assassination will undoubtedly be detected in advance. Once an assassin is exposed from the shadows and surrounded by numerous heavily armored knights, the outcome will certainly be bleak.

In direct combat, possibly two assassins might not even defeat one knight.

With full confidence, Oerstein said, ”Once we know the assassins’ positions, I will lead the knights of the territory to drag out these gutter rats one by one and crush them.”

Su Li smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, ”Very good, my marshal. Perhaps after this assassination action, you will shake the entire Empire and even change your title!”

Killing four Divine Chosen Ones in a single battle is clearly a legendary feat, enough to be celebrated and sung by countless minstrels.

Currently, Oerstein’s title is Fierce Sun Lion, an honor he earned during his Elite Level days. But clearly, it no longer matches Oerstein’s current strength.

If he crushes four Divine Chosen Level in one battle, he could very likely be hailed by enthusiastic knights as the [Lion King]!

[Lion King Oerstein] obviously sounds much more imposing than Fierce Sun Lion Oerstein.

Oerstein naturally is eagerly anticipating this outcome.

Not only he but in fact, everyone feels that the knights of the territory are holding the Lord’s thigh, with strength and reputation rapidly soaring.

Although the vast majority of them are stronger than the Lord, that feeling of following a hero makes Su Li like a high and mighty king.

The knights seem like tiny specks of dust; if fortunate enough to land on the Lord’s shoes and follow even a short distance, it would be a tremendous honor and the greatest achievement and progress in one’s life.

It’s all because of the Lord’s favor and opportunity that Hilude and Oerstein, in the short journey of following the Lord, have quickly advanced to Divine Chosen Knights.

Otherwise, by this time, following their original fate trajectory, Hilude would still be a slave, and Oerstein would still be struggling to break through at the pinnacle of an Elite Knight.

But now, Oerstein even dares to imagine the title of [Lion King].

After motivating Oerstein, Su Li soon welcomed the summoned Free People’s Corps leaders to Heisen Castle.

Before meeting them, Hilude briefly introduced the situation of these Free People’s Corps to Su Li.

”My Lord, among those who came is a Brotherhood leader and two mercenary chiefs. They all intend to serve you. However, the way they pledge allegiance and their interest demands are slightly different. Among them...”

Su Li waved a hand and said, ”I will personally discuss their specific demands with them.”

As Su Li entered the meeting hall slowly, the three people in the hall immediately stood up, each greeting Su Li with different gestures of courtesy.

”Greetings, Knight Su Li, may Shalya bless you with health and safety.”

”Greetings, my lord, may your day be good.”

”May Yurik bless you with strength and health, my lord.”

After Su Li sat in the main seat, he waved at the three and said, ”No need for formalities, please have a seat.”

Su Li then glanced over the three leaders of the Free People’s Corps, first catching sight of a thin middle-aged man in a red leather robe, forced to remove his hood, looking somewhat apprehensive and uneasy under direct scrutiny.

Next were two mercenary chiefs, both clad in thick armor, but their styles could not be more different from each other.
