Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 117 New Special Arms Series
Su Li and several ministers rode at full speed and soon returned to the castle located on the hilly highlands in the north of the territory.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen tall ogres sitting lazily outside the castle gate, leaning against the gate and the city wall. They were greedily eating the smoked meat and grilled fish given to them by the territory. The grunting sounds were continuous, and the ground was littered with fish heads and animal bones thrown by them.

Right by the city gate, there were two empty bamboo baskets, showing how starving they were. A team of knights in shining armor and on tall, powerful horses charged over, but they didn't react at all, still wolfing down their food. They only glanced at Su Li and the others with their stupid eyes before paying no attention.

This made Su Li less vigilant towards them. It can be seen that these ogres have long been accustomed to life in human society and are accustomed to knights. They have even lost their vigilance and inherent ferocity. They are no longer those vicious thugs in the mountains at the edge of the world.

Then Su Li handed the warhorse to his knight squire Harry and walked quickly into the castle.

But just as he left the stable, a huge beast suddenly pounced on him, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe and could hardly lift his back.

"Oh, my baby, you are a big baby now. You can't jump on me like you did when you were a child." With Su Li groaning, a huge griffin jumped off him unwillingly.

That’s right, the bird that jumped onto Su Li was the raptor he personally raised, the Tiger-Striped Griffin Death Claw.

Anyone who sees this huge creature would not believe that it is a griffin that is only two months old.

It was so huge that even the most powerful lion in the pride couldn't reach such a huge size. Only Su Li could hold it up because of his continuous improvement in strength. Otherwise, if it pounced, ordinary people would be knocked away directly.

There was also a little lion mastiff following behind it happily. This beast was a tribute presented by the slaves to Su Li.

Taming a Lion Mastiff is a challenge many Imperial nobles cannot refuse, as it is the perfect hunting dog sought by many. To successfully train a Lion Mastiff, it must be captured and tamed at a young age, or subdued by force.

However, given the brutal territoriality of many lionmastiffs, acquiring a young lionmastiff can be a very dangerous undertaking. Occasionally, a chivalrous knight is tasked with capturing such a beast as a means of proving himself.

More often, nobles would find suitable "volunteers" among the peasants and promise a huge reward for anyone who could bring back a healthy, young lion mastiff survivor, but few could claim this grand prize.

Following Su Li's intelligence, the knights and slaves of the Hessen Territory found the lion-mastiff cub in an open field on the edge of their territory. Its mother had died defending the territory, leaving it as a bloody meal for the horned beasts. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would have starved to death within a few days, or been mauled by kobolds or goblins.

But the knights of the Hessen Territory found it with their slaves, and from then on it became Su Li's war pet.

Su Li also realized his dream of holding Huang on his left and Cang on his right. The next step was to ride on the plain with a thousand riders, wearing brocade hats and sable furs.

However, this pair of battle pets did not get along very harmoniously, mainly because Death Claw did not like the little bitch named Jinya very much.

Although Jinya always followed it happily, it would always impatiently push her aside with its paws, and sometimes it would even roar and growl impatiently at the little bitch.

But Jinya shrank and curled up, looking pitiful and refusing to leave. When Death Claw turned around, she would stick to it again and follow Death Claw.

It can also be seen that this griffin is very young and has no interest in the opposite sex.

Sometimes Su Li would mediate their quarrels, but most of the time he would let them get along on their own. After all, he had just picked the name Jin Ya at random.

Previously, this little female dog was named Jin Ya, and she had the same style as Lai Fu and Wang Cai.

But Hildreth firmly opposed it, thinking that this lion mastiff would be an important partner of Su Li in future battles and that the name should not be given so casually, so he changed her name to Jinya.

I have to say that Hildreth's idea is quite insightful. The appearance of the golden lion mastiff and the tiger-striped griffin together makes Su Li look noble and imposing.

When the two war pets ran around Su Li and rushed into the castle hall, the halflings and ogres in the room suddenly exclaimed and stood up from their seats in surprise.

These were two rare and ferocious monsters, symbols of status for the nobles. Even a duke might not own a noble griffin, but now the owner of this territory had gathered both hunting dogs and war eagles.

There was no need to describe it in words; they immediately had a clear understanding of the power of this territory and the elegance and luxury of its lord.

Some halflings were so shocked they couldn't control themselves and rubbed their eyes vigorously. "Oh my God, by the Lord Hyacinth, what do I see? A noble tiger-striped griffin!"

"Yes, it really is a noble tiger-striped griffin! The last time I saw a tiger-striped griffin was in Milanden, when I was a guest in the castle of the powerful Duke of White Wolf. I caught a glimpse of it from afar."

"Don't brag about your past, which has made us tired of hearing it. We all know you were just given the opportunity to deliver goods to the castle, and you only took a tour of the servants' area." "The White Wolf Duke is so cruel. It is said that he will ruthlessly kill any commoner who secretly glances at his noble griffin. You have only heard this legend. I'm afraid you have never even seen a griffin feather."

Su Li raised his eyebrows, sat back in his main seat, supported his chin with his right hand, and asked calmly: "How about I wait until you guys are done arguing and then tell you?"

The sound was not loud, but it made everyone in the room feel a chill down their spines. Everyone fell silent instantly, and all looked up at Su Li with some awe.

Although the young man was sitting there lazily, he was obviously looking down at all of them with disdain.

This is the noble temperament of a person who holds power, and it is the style of a strong man that can only be brought about by the power of life and death.

All the halflings clearly felt from this young man what it meant to be awe-inspiring without even getting angry.

Hartzklin, the head of the Balantangborn family, quickly put down his pipe, bowed to Su Li, and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive these country folk of mine. They have lived outside the city all year round and lack knowledge or etiquette. But their respect and admiration for you are genuine; otherwise, they would not have come all the way to the territory with me."

"Yes, we have heard about your generosity and strength, Lord, and are willing to join your territory." A strong halfling with a round belly said rudely.

Hartzklin's face changed, and he scolded, "Krupp, I specifically emphasized to you not to bring your country folk's rudeness into the noble's castle. Don't speak without the noble's permission! You promised me that."

The middle-aged halfling named Krupp grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Halflings are used to intimate communication. If you have something to say, just say it. I hate all this red tape!"

Su Li propped up his chin and looked down at him, saying calmly, "This is a castle, not your halfling's territory. Your rude behavior is your own business, and as the master here, I don't need to condescend to tolerate your bad habits."

"Remember, this is your last chance. If you act rudely again, my knight will chop off the offender's head."

"understand?"

"Clear, clear."

"Oh, what a powerful lord, very imposing."

"Yes, it is indeed as powerful as the legend. This territory is even more worthy of our joining."

Listening to the halflings' habitual chatter, Hartzklin quickly turned the topic back to business and said to Su Li, "Respected Lord, as you can see, we have brought back four halfling families this time. They have heard of your deeds and have requested to join the powerful Black Forest Territory."

Su Li immediately understood and asked, "So you came back so quickly and brought so many ogres with you, is it because you met relatives from other families?"

Hartsklin nodded, then shook his head?

This confused Su Li. What did this reply mean?
Hartzklin quickly explained, "We did immediately contact our relatives, the brave Brandisnap family. When they heard you were willing to provide us with a halfling self-government, they reached a consensus within a single night and decided to move to your territory."

"They are very powerful warriors. In addition to their unique archer unit, they also possess excellent field defenders. These excellent infantry can patrol the borders of the Halfling Dominion to defend against various threats and unwanted outsiders. They will quickly learn the terrain and be able to use it to their advantage to inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

This is a very good thing. Su Li didn’t quite understand what he meant by shaking his head.

Hartzklin quickly went on to explain, "But my cousin, Haymes Blackheart, the patriarch of the Brandisnap family, is a member of the Gay Club."

"He told the club branch in Maleburg this news, which immediately attracted the interest of several club families, who also clamored to come to the territory together."

Su Li looked at the chubby and strong halfling and asked, "Is this Mr. Krupp?"

"That's right." Krupp puffed out his chest proudly when he saw Su Li looking at him. "Our gay club is an elite club. To join, you have to be incredibly brave, incredibly rich, and incredibly stupid. Ideally, all three. The current members are all wanderers looking for a place to settle down."

"In addition to the Ogre Guards, our club also has many powerful troops, such as Swan Riders, Goat Riders, Battle Ram Chariots, Treeman Companions, and Harvesters. And the most important and popular troop, the Food Tray Cart!"
