Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1113: Chapter 170: Two Knight Orders and the “Surprise” Sent by Philis (Part 2)

Their positioning is very similar to the Corona Knight Order; when the divine faith of a territory expands, a knight order from that church will be stationed there.

The Griffin Military Academy for the noble in the Hesse Territory is clearly thriving, with Virena’s faith being guaranteed and expanded in the Hesse Territory, so it’s normal for them to send a knight order over.

As the faith of Mole expands, the Mole Sect will also dispatch a knight order to be stationed there.

However, as the most influential voice for the Goddess Virena in the mortal world, the Elector of Sulande Province strongly supported it, allowing the largest and strongest knight order of the church to directly send a division over.

The main Eternal Light Knight Order consists of more than 2000 members, less than 3000 (excluding divisions), directly sending 1000 Eternal Light Knights over, almost deploying a third of their main force here, and a Divine Chosen level Deputy Leader personally leading them.

There must have been communication and exchanges of interests between them; Philis certainly discussed with several Deputy Leaders, using Su Li to purify their curses in exchange for their support of Philis’s decision, directly establishing the main base in the Hesse Territory to defend this area.

The Scroll Knight Order needs no more words; it’s the garrison of Philis, or Sulande Province, in an ally territory to strengthen alliance relations.

It’s very common, like hundreds of dwarves garrisoned in Gray Rock Castle or Redbeard Castle in the Hesse Territory, Su Li also sent knights and troops to be stationed in their territories to assist with patrols and jointly respond to monsters.

However, Philis’s garrison is unique due to a special relationship, being completely under Su Li’s command. Of course, Su Li also needs to provide them with sufficient food.

After reading the letter, the edges of Su Li’s mouth involuntarily curled into a smile, the previous shock replaced by a knowing and helpless amusement.

He directly handed the letter to Hilude next to him, saying, ”Take a look at this cunning woman.”

Su Li could imagine Philis’ eyes smiling into crescent shapes, having the appearance of a little fox whose plan had succeeded.

Hilude was momentarily surprised, then took the envelope from Su Li’s hand, rapidly scanned through it, then looked up at Su Li: ”Philis has changed quite a bit, she feels smarter now, less naive and simple than before.”

”But the way she shamelessly acts spoiled, passing the buck, it’s just like him.” Su Li sighed, what else could he do? His wife, he’d take care of her.

He carefully folded the letter and placed it in his chest. The part about his daughter, Jian Jia, touched him, bringing a warm sense of longing. He then looked again at the rows of knights in the distance; seeing their shiny armor now felt completely different—they were no longer just symbols of strength, but burdens Philis entrusted with because she ’devoured too much,’ proof of her trust and dependence on him. Bradley and his knights’ curses and quest for redemption were real, but the most direct reason they came to the Hesse Territory was probably because Sulande Province’s treasury was empty.

Su Li turned to Bradley the Deputy Leader who had been waiting. The other had the typical seriousness of a knight on his face, seemingly with a trace of imperceptible fatigue.

”Deputy Leader Bradley,” Su Li began, his tone regaining the steady calm of a Lord, ”I understand Prince Philis’s arrangements. The Eternal Light Knight Order will find their place in the Hesse Territory, and I promise to give you the opportunity for redemption.”

Bradley visibly breathed a sigh of relief, placed his right hand on his chest, and saluted: ”Thank you for accepting us, Lord. Virena Goddess’s radiance will shine brighter under your protection.”

”The Scroll Knight Order too,” Su Li’s gaze moved over to another banner, ”they will be allies of the Hesse Territory.”

He then relaxed his tone, casually asked them like an idle chat, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: ”So, where is the messenger who delivered the letter? Philis mentioned in the letter that besides the letter, she also sent a ’surprise,’ where is it?”

Bradley slightly stepped aside and pointed to a luxurious closed carriage bearing the Iris emblem of Sulande Province in the middle of the knight order’s formation. ”The messenger and that ’surprise’ are here, Lord.”

Following Bradley’s gesture, the attendant standing by the carriage immediately stepped forward and respectfully pulled open the heavy curtain of the door.

All eyes instinctively focused there.

A foot encased in an exquisitely crafted white soft boot stepped onto the lowered footboard, then a figure emerged from the carriage and stood firm.

It seemed as if the entire plain in front of Bauhinia Flower Manor fell silent for a moment.

The most striking feature was the head of long hair pure as fresh snow. Its whiteness was particularly noticeable, flowing smoothly behind and almost reaching the waist, shimmering with a frosty and unique luster under the sunlight. This was precisely the most notable mark of Sulande Province’s top beauty.

She wore a pure white long dress of exquisite tailoring and expensive fabric; the design was simple yet everywhere exuded elegance. Her figure was tall and well-proportioned, with a serene demeanor.

When she stood completely upright and lifted her head, her face was clearly presented to everyone. Her skin was fair and delicate, her features very refined: eyebrows and eyes cool, nose straight, and lips of pale pink in a graceful shape. Her aura was very unique, carrying a sense of cold aloofness, as if the surrounding bustle had nothing to do with her. But her gaze wasn’t empty, calmly sweeping over the front and finally resting on Su Li.
