Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 367: Chapter 160: Patrolling the Town and the Strip Club_3

Besides, you’re not the Little Dragon Girl. If he desecrated you, vent on him, seek revenge. Why drag Hesse Territory into this?

Su Li could only send a team of Swan Knights from the Directly Affiliated Attendants to the south of Gray Stone Village to solve this issue.

Then there’s the epidemic in Avondale Village. Su Li’s current territory size is that of a standard basic Pioneer Territory, basically a small town with a few affiliated villages. If one of these is destroyed by the followers of Father of Plagues, Nagash, it would be a significant loss.

He directly had a Medical Knight, a nun from the Dawn Church, along with a team of Mounted Armored Attendants to handle it.

Additionally, he dispatched an Attendant to coordinate with the Red Brotherhood, which is currently employed by him, to retrieve all the Elf Mage’s relics from the Watchtower.

The Mercenary Corps still have a basic code of conduct. Since the employer has already paid their fees, everything inside rightly belongs to Su Li. The Brotherhood won’t openly demand a share; whether someone will hide anything depends on the means of the Wandering Son, Luo Ou.

Su Li arranged three matters, and Philis, feeling left out, asked somewhat boredly, ”Lord, is there anything I can do to ease your burden?”

Su Li curiously asked, ”Why do you want to get involved in these?”

Philis replied with some boredom, ”I feel I should find some hobbies. Hilude, Ingrid, and even Avril have their own jobs, while I find myself idle every day. And...”

”And what?”

Philis cautiously looked at Su Li and said, ”And I think being fervently protected by someone feels so special. I’ve never experienced this before.”

As expected, women naturally care about the feeling of being protected, especially when someone is willing to guard them with their life. It stirs something deep within them.

Su Li thought for a moment and said, ”Then you should also experience guarding something. The Lion’s Mane Mushrooms of the territory are about to mature; take a walk and, by the way, convey the challenge to Vandar, asking him to use the [Sunset] Divine Magic thrice on this Lion’s Mane Mushroom field within a month. By then, a [Heart of the Lion King] will appear, which can nurture a Champion Knight for our territory.”

The Lion’s Mane Mushroom field is on the open ground between the inner castle and the outer wall, so Philis isn’t running around aimlessly.

She immediately said enthusiastically, ”Great! I’ll do my best to protect the outcome of my cultivation.”

Once Philis left, Su Li processed the last urgent piece of information for the day.

The issue of trading with the Dwarves needs to wait until the Wandering Son, Luo Ou, convinces the merchants to deliver 20,000 Golden Crowns before proceeding.

So the final issue today concerns the cleanliness and order of the territory. I wonder what kind of genius has arrived here, worthy of such fanfare.

But a genius trained by the Modheim Royal Griffin Military Academy would surely not be less talented than someone like Lauren.

Therefore, Su Li directly summoned the Minister of the Seal, Lauren.

This elderly minister recently has been in excellent spirits. Although he is diligent in duty, it’s noticeable that his living conditions are quite lavish, as his once slender figure has grown plumper, a bit more prosperous-looking.

He soon arrived at Su Li’s side, respectfully saying, ”My esteemed Lord, I wish you a good day, and may the Sun Goddess always protect you in your prime. Is there anything I can assist you with?”

Su Li smiled and said, ”Nothing major, I intend to take you on an inspection around the town. Check on the territory’s security, sanitation, civility, and see if the town is neat and orderly.”

Lauren immediately bowed, saying, ”I would be happy to introduce the town’s recent state to you, my Lord.”

High-level Attendant Chief Hilude arranged an ambush in the bathhouse direction, so Tiberus, accompanied by the Hesse Guard Knights, escorted Su Li out of Heisen Castle, riding straight to the town south of the castle.

A wide Brionne River separates Heisen Castle from the town. A narrow stone arch bridge connects north and south, but the bridge is rarely used, requiring application to enter the northern city, so apart from rest days, it’s usually deserted, with the fully armed Blood Pine Forest Beast Butcher Camp attendants, clad in plate armor and holding long halberds, lined on both sides of the bridge, guarding.

They not only guard Heisen Castle but also the northern Vault Area. The Vault Area is a fortress containing various wealth, items, spoils, and some dangerous objects belonging to Su Li and the entire Hesse Territory, such as idols of the Evil God, Chaos Warriors’ weapons, items, etc., which cannot be quickly processed yet are highly valuable.

Additionally, the Vault Area contains private and bank vaults, where their gold coins, wealth, etc., can be transported to personal vaults at the Vault Area upon application by transportation teams. After all, it’s the most heavily guarded place in the Hesse Territory, and even if the Green Dragon Legion destroyed the town, Knights and the great landlords and merchants could use the wealth in the vaults to rebuild territory and farms.

However, Su Li has visited the Vault Area many times before, its tall buildings, rigorous defense, and emptiness needing no further inspection; he plans to visit the busier region south of the town.

In the past, when he left Heisen Castle, he usually headed directly to Jorn Shallow Bay, and since Black Pine Town was built, he hasn’t really explored it.

But developing farmland isn’t just about agricultural growth; industry and commerce are equally important. The settlement of Knight Orders, companies, and chambers of commerce significantly contributes to enhancing the territory’s strength.
