Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 890: Chapter 110: The Powerful Undead Slayer Olein and the Corona Knight Order’s Donations and Requests_3

”How many?” Su Li asked in shock, ”Those four people smashed over a thousand undead monsters!? How did they do it?”

Freya shook her head and said, ”Not sure, but undoubtedly, this achievement is shocking to countless people. Even with one Champion Knight, defeating 100 undead would be very difficult, but they defeated ten times that number, an unprecedented feat in the history of the Empire.”

”There’s no doubt about it,” Su Li nodded, ”Regardless of how they did it, even clearing caves or delving into graves, taking on batches in narrow terrain would be enough to showcase their unparalleled combat prowess!”

Never mind that it’s over a thousand terrifying undead, even if it’s over a thousand pigs, having four people hack away at them would leave their arms exhausted.

Besides, the undead in this world are not those weak skeletons from some worlds, where a farmer could smash them to bits with a pitchfork. With the power of black magic energy, undead monsters become as strong as steel, and when ordinary humans slash at them with swords, it feels like hitting steel, leaving their hands numb.

At least a squad of formally trained attendants or provincial legion soldiers is needed to defeat a squad of skeleton soldiers.

It’s hard to imagine how four knights could sequentially smash over a thousand undead monsters. It’s known that four knights would have to fight tooth and nail to defeat a squadron of armed attendants, facing extreme difficulty. But the number they defeated was ten times that!

No wonder Captain Constantine and Deputy Leader Freya highly regard them, going so far as to personally invite the four mercenaries to a banquet.

Freya agreed, ”Even if they have the advantage of terrain, they must possess extremely advanced skills in fighting undead, very familiar with the combat characteristics of the undead, perhaps even able to fend off their attacks with their eyes closed.”

”Constantine and I agree on hiring them to join our Corona Knight Order as one of the instructors, which will significantly enhance our offense and defense against the undead.”

That is possible!

If their knight order acquires such an instructor, it will surely gain a new trait in the future [Damage to the Undead +10%, Defense Against the Undead +10%], possibly even more effective than that.

Su Li’s eyes lit up, and he asked, ”Is Captain Constantine preparing for the battle against the Night Wanderer Corpse?”

Freya nodded lightly and said, ”Exactly. We plan to hold a joint exercise with the Arrow of Light Knight Order to enhance our combat abilities and clear the monsters within the territory.”

”That’s a good proposal,” Su Li smiled. Within the Empire, the Flame Sun Knight Order often conducts tactical coordination exercises with the Greenfield Knight Order, which has become a tradition for the two large knight orders.

The Corona Knight Order and the Arrow of Light Knight Order belong to the subordinate knight Chapters of these two orders, conducting joint exercises is in line with tradition and also highly beneficial for Hesse Territory.

When the two knight orders take action, the security situation in Hesse Territory will significantly improve, allowing the clearance of many wild monsters, and also generating considerable wealth for the territory.

”If you need any support from the territory, just let me know. We will fully cooperate with your church knights in cleansing the monsters and spreading the brilliance of the Sun Goddess.”

Freya didn’t hesitate and directly replied, ”There are indeed three areas where you need to support us.”

The Sun Goddess Church doesn’t hold back, indeed.

However, as the future Quasi-Divine Chosen of the Sun Goddess, Su Li couldn’t refuse, so he asked, ”Which three areas, just tell me.”

”First is the Sun Goddess’ Monastery,” Freya looked at Su Li and calmly said, ”We were all aware that the territory’s finances were relatively tight before, so we never asked. But with the current financial surplus in the territory, we ought to build a landmark large monastery, at least something that doesn’t fall short of Saint Renji Hospital, even if it’s not comparable to the Eternal Flame Cathedral.”

”During this Radiant Competition Festival, many visiting Sun Goddess Knights are puzzled why, as a Sun Goddess Church domain, it lacks a large monastery, and even the Sun Goddess’ church isn’t as grand as Shalya Church.”

The Sun Goddess is not like Reya, who doesn’t care about the size of monasteries; the Goddess loves gold and marble, so she prefers grand, pristine churches.

However, the territory truly lacks a holy site-scale cathedral. The only place that can be considered the core of the territory’s Sun Goddess Church is the church in the north of the city, but that’s not because of its grandeur—the Goddess statue inside is simply spectacular.

Su Li sighed lightly and said with a smile, ”I put my heart and soul into hosting this Radiant Competition Festival, and even before the money was in hand, everyone has their eyes on it.”

To build a large and magnificent holy site-scale cathedral, it would take tens of thousands of gold coins at the very least.

Even Shalya Church’s Saint Renji Hospital required tens of thousands of golden crowns just for the initial investment.

With such savings, it might be drained in just a few months.

Freya, however, was very gentle and considerate, saying, ”Lord, I understand this might seem urgent. So Captain Constantine, Captain Alfred, and I have discussed it, and we will also invest and support this large monastery, providing at least 15,000 golden crowns.”
