Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 935: Chapter 122: Enormous Postwar Gains (2)

Watching all of this, Su Li asked, ”How long will it take to resolve this cave?”

”By around noon today, the battle should be completely over. Moreover, we discovered the treasure vault and altar of these monsters in the pit. After clearing this place, we will definitely acquire a lot of wealth.”

”Treasure vault and altar?” Su Li’s face lit up with joy as he asked, ”What’s the matter?”

”The spiders have gathered the sacrifices thrown in by goblins over the years and some materials from adventurers, storing them in this pit for the Empress to offer to the Spider God.” Hilude calmly replied, ”We found a large number of gold coins, witchcraft items, and rare minerals, many of which were treasures uncovered when they expanded the caves.”

This journey has truly been exceptionally rewarding!

Indeed, as Hilude mentioned, the remaining spiders were merely hanging by a thread, unable to stir much trouble. By noon, all resistance had been extinguished, and the entire spider lair was completely cleared.

Including their formidable Spider Empress, nailed dead against the pit wall by a 40-meter longsword.

After this fierce battle, this place truly looks like a massive undead battleground, where any passing Undead Mage could raise a grand-scale Undead Legion.

So when the knights finished cleaning up, Su Li called over Mole’s Chosen One, Demster, and asked, ”Aren’t you a Divine Chosen Knight? Don’t you know a few Mole Church and Black Guard Knight Orders?”

Demster responded humorously, ”Lord, do you think I don’t want some followers I can command? I also enjoy being admired by all, instead of dealing with stinky corpses all the time. You know one of the major symbols of our Mole followers is the Black Rose, hoping to gain the favor of noble ladies and take fewer wrong steps. But apparently, many share this idea, and many are wandering around solving haunted castle issues. Not many orders flow into the Border Prince’s Territory. I’m already astounded you found the Shroud Order.”

”Then you need to think of something to expand the Mole Church.” Su Li’s tone was full of ”regret at the inadequacy of iron”. He felt strongly that he had to supervise the church’s development.

These Mole Knights are truly different from other churches.

Demster shrugged: ”Mole’s knights are all not skilled at preaching, perhaps the only church not enthusiastic about it. Maybe it’s because more Mole knights mean more death.”

Counting on these unreliable and neurotic guys, fear is that when the Undead Mages finally transform all these corpses into Undead, they might still lack sufficient scale to handle these mass graves.

Otherwise, this world wouldn’t have so many ancient battlefields filled with dense Death Qi and blood.

Su Li turned to Hilude and said, ”We still need to support these churches through the Bishop’s Council. Before coming, I already mentioned that a portion of this income would be granted to the Bishop’s Council. How’s the income this time?”

”Extremely impressive!” Hilude, gripping a longsword, replied spiritedly atop a Griffin: ”We gathered over 9300 Golden Crowns just from the remnants of the undead and the spider lair’s treasury, among them, over 4600 Golden Crowns gained from defeating the Night Wanderer Corpse Legion.”

Indeed, nearly ten thousand Golden Crowns is quite a handsome profit.

Anywhere in this world, even in Terrabheim’s Imperial Palace, an extra income of 10,000 Golden Crowns is good news that would make the Emperor happy for a moment and eat an extra bowl of rice.

But undeniably, the income of over 9300 Golden Crowns is still the least in the entire war’s revenue. Hilude continued, ”Additionally, we harvested over 270 witchcraft items of varying value, expected to be worth above 5000 Golden Crowns. Most weapons and equipment were destroyed, dissipating with the monster’s death without black magic sustainment. But some weapons and equipment from Corpse Demons prior to their death were still preserved.”

”We obtained a total of 180 weapons and equipment, including 2 rare-level pieces, 12 perfect-level pieces, and 30 refined-level pieces. There are also 2 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor, already damaged. Although their effects are weakened, we can take them back for smelting, letting the Dwarves extract the Vibranium to remake the territory’s Vibranium Rune Armor.”

”For our territory, craftsmanship and time are not obstacles. We have many Dwarven Masters of Forging ready to create more and stronger Vibranium equipment at any moment. Even our armory melts a batch of Vibranium Rune Armor every day to reforge when lacking enough Vibranium. Besides maintaining the Dwarves’ touch, training and teaching more Dwarves to master the craft of forging Vibranium Rune Armor, we aim to utilize the effect of [Deadly Lead’s Multi-Layered Micro-Spring] and attempt producing more rare-level armor.”

”So Vibranium is the most important. We also found a large amount of precious metals here, partly from ores the spiders discovered while digging the cave, partly spoils collected from Dwarven underground vaults. Including 80 pounds of Vibranium, 130 Star Iron, totaling over 800 pounds of precious metals.”

”And attacking this spider lair, the most crucial gains are undeniably the materials they possessed. We gathered 4 rare-level materials, which are immeasurable in value, helping us craft even stronger Divine Chosen Armor. And there’s over 300 pounds of Anaric Giant Spider Silk! Including 40 pounds of Divine Chosen-level Anaric Empress Giant Spider Silk!”
